ALL THE WORLD is MOURNING.

While the late Presidents remains
lie in state in the Capitol at Wash
ington to-day, all the world will
mourn. Never before have there been
such universal manifestations of
genuine sorrow at the death of the
head of nation. There are of course
expressions of sorrow from other
nations whenever the death of the
head of nation-especially of one of
the great Powers-is announced, but
the exhibitions of sorrow and express
sions of sympathy for the death of
President Mckinley have been out the
usual. They have not been of a per-
functory character. The dispatches
which have come from the capitals Of
Great Britain, Russia, Germany.
France, in fact all of the nations Of
the world, have indicated a gem
uiness of feeling that is seldom found
in such expressions of sorrow.
There are perhaps two reasons for
this. The first is that it is only since
the Spanish American war that other
Powers have been willing to admit
that the United States are in the front
rank of the great Powers, if, in fact
they are not the greatest of the POW
ers. There is therefore the very great
est respect for this country in every
capital on the face of the globe. The
second is that there was as sincere
appreciation abroad of President Nc
Kinley's character as there was at
home. His attitude and bearing as the
head of great nation. and his cour-
tesy and consideration in his official
relations with the governments of
other nations, commanded respect and
admiration. Somehow or other Presi-
dent Mckinley had captured the
lmaginations of other peoples as well
as that of his own people. He had
made an impression that was far
reaching. That is one reason-the
main one probably-why the whole
world pauses to drop tear on his
bier.

There will be no draping of federal
buildings with emblems of mourning
for President Mckinley, because such
draping is expressly forbidden in the
statutes of the United States. The
law in question is in Chapter 211 of the
statutes of 1898, and was passed in the
bitterness of the spirit of the Repub
lican party against the South. The
reasons which led up to the enactment
were these: 1t had been the custom to
drape the public buildings in Wash
ington upon the death of any prominent
officer or ex-officer of the government.
During the administration of President
Cleveland, ex-Secretary of the Interior
Jacob Thompson of Buchanan's admin
istration died, and the buildings were
draped in his honor. Col. Thompson
was Southern man, a staunch and I'M
compromising Confederate. who had
resigned his federal office to throw
himself and his fortunes in with the
South in her great struggle. The drap-
ing of federal buildings in 1889 for this
Confederate of 1876 incensed many
of the Republican leaders, and they Sc
cured the passage of a paragraph in
the legislative appropriation bill of the
year 1893 prohibiting the draping of
any public building in the future. The
bill, including this provision, was
signed by President Harrison. Thus
while numerous state and municipal
buildings in the South will show crepe
and other emblems of mourning for
President Mckinley, no federal build
ing will be draped in his honor, be-
cause of the spleen of leaders of his
own party

1t will be remembered that when the
announcement was made on Friday
evening that the President was dying a
mob gathered about the police station
at Buffalo and made demonstrations
against the assassin. The story is told
that In the exciting part of the demon
strations Czolgosz was removed from
the station and incarcerated in the pen
itentary. Not only that, but he was
brought directly through the crowd of
men who were clamoring for his life.
The feat was accomplished by dress
ing Czolgosz in a policeman's uniform
and sending him out accompanied by
one of the picked men of the force.
They elbowed their way through the
crowd, took carriage and were driven
TO the penitentiary in safety.

CURRENT COMMENT.

OF the official career of the late
President Mckinley the New York
Evening Post Qnd) says 1.-The best
feature of his whole record in the
White House was the leadership which
he enabled the United States to take
among the great Powers after the dis
turbanceS in China broke out in the
summer of 1900-a leadership always
directed toward the restoration of
peace, the maintenance of the Chinese
government, the condemnation of
every scheme for a partition of the
empire. The whole policy was Ameri-
can, in the best sense of the word. 1t
presented the nation as the champion
of Justice the advocate of order, the
foe of ACKNOWLEDGMENT. 1t evoked the
warmest commentator from the
severest critics of other policies, and it
constitutes a chapter of which any
statesman might well be proud"
OF President Roosevelt the Memphis
Commercial-Appeal (Dem.) says: HE
has the greatest opportunity that has
ever suddenly befallen an American
citizen. He, too. can become a great
President. He has the equipment, the
experience and the character to make
an flutlSHl tAtCQllNGs Inc ldCl ludl
he IS the successor of Washington,
jefferson, Jackson, Cleveland and Nc
Kinley ought to exercise a wholesome
restraint upon him. 1t ought to have
a SOLDERING effect. He is a fine example
of stalwart and aggressive American
ism. And he goes into office as free
as a bird of the mountains. We sim
cerely hope that he will more than
meet expectations. He is a product OF
the North and South, his father hav-
ing been a New Yorker and his mother
Georgian. We wish the new Presi-
dent a successful and suspicious ad-
ministration."

that was the period of the nineteenth
Egyptian dynasty, and research had
established in all twenty-five dynas-
ties. In the early men of Egypt they
had to deal with a European race more
or less mixed with the negro. AS to the
long progress of civilization, the pot
terry was striking proof, passing from
the simplest to the most elaborate
forms. SO was it with other works of
art. In one of the tombs was the

bore a set of bracelets of great value

gold and turquoise, and wrapped in a

Students of Russia Join in
Stirring Up Trouble.

New York, March 2S.-The World to-

from St Petersburg, dated March Is and
mailed to Berlin in order to escape the
censor:
The distinguishing and the gravest
feature OF the present disturbances sn
Russia is the svs- ence of an organic :
combination for f~st time between
the students and ii ing men of an
obstinAtely revolutionary character
The government has driven the stu
dents into the arms oT the labor party.
Bogolepoff. the minister Of public in
struction who was assassinated, was the
worst type of a Russian bureaucrat. His
administration was marked by continual
petty persecution of the students. The
petition prepared by eminent professors
and certain senators invoking the per
sonal intervention of the ear was an
other proof of the panic prevailing in
official circles but the presentation Of
this petition was prevented by higher
officials
Another striking feature of this out
break is the refusal Of large numbers of
the Dvorniks or yardmen who act as q
species of police reserve, to assist the
regular police in depressing the disor-
ders. thus manifesting sympathy with
the people.
No doubt is entertained here that the
outbreak viii be quelled eventually, but
it will only be done at an incalculable
cost of life and suffering.

Arizona border that is expected to in

the ultimate expenditure of about $780,

about ten years. This is a project to
build large reservoirs on the California
side of the California; Nevada border
line and the reclamation of the fertile
lands ON the Nevada side. Chief Hydro
grapher F. H Newell said today that
the lack of conservation of the water re-
sources accounts for a steady loss of
population in Nevada
The parties will begin operations
shortly and viii work mainly along the
Truckett, Carson and Walker rivers.
They will measure the volume of the
streams, the capacity of reservoirs and
estimate the cost OF building them In
the valleys the water which can be used
to best advantage will be ascertained
