flee had not been communicated by him
fso far as could be learned 1t was the be.
lief that he would take the oath after his
arrival here.
Under the constitution ne is now presi-
dent and the taking OF the oath is mere
lly a preliminary requisite To- beginning
the exercises of his presidential func-
Itlons.
The assumption by him or the office OF
president means the disintegration OF
the present cabinet. The resignat tons

advisers. Who they are is already a
matter OF active speculation, but IL is

THE DEATH STRUGGLE.

The president had entered the valley of
|the shadow death. Word was at once
taken TO the immediate relatives who
|were not present TO hasten for the last
look upon the president i'm life.
They came In groups, the women weep
|ng and the men bowed and sobbing in
their intense grief. Grouped about the
bedside at this final moment, were the
only brother OF the president Abner Nc
I<inley. and his wife: Miss Helen McKin-
ley and Mrs. Sarah Duncan, sisters of
the president: Miss Mary Barber. niece;
Miss Sara Duncan. niece: Lieutenant
James r. Mckinley, William M Duncan,
and John Barber, nephews; r. NJ. Os-
borne, a cousin: Secretary George r.
Cortelyou: Hon. Charles @. Dawes. comp
troller or the currency: Colonel Webb c.
Hayes and Colonel William G.. Brown.
With these. directly and Indirectly con-
nected with the family. were those others
who had kept ceaseless vigil-the white
garbed nurses and the uniformed marine
hospital attendants.
In the adjoining room were Drs. Charles
NcBurney, Eugene Wasdin. Roswell Park
Charles @. Stockton. and Herman Myn-
ter. The minutes were now flying. and nd
was 2:l5 o'clock Silent and motlonless
the circle Of loving friends stood about
the bedside.
Dr. Rixoy leaned forward and placed HE
ear close to the breast Of the expiring
president. Then he straightened up and|
made an effort 90 speak.

PRONOUNCED A DYING MAN.

The death of President Mckinley came
in the early morning, under circumstances
lof peculiar weirdness. For hours he had
lain unconscious, with all hope of his sur
fvival abandoned. AS early as 6 O'Clock
last night the doctors had pronounced
him n dying man. and soon thereafter the
Irigors OF approaching death began to
|creep upon him. The administration OF
powerful stimulants was maintained until
n o'clock but with no effect.
1t was soon seen that the end was near
|at hand and those nearest and dearest
Ito the stricken president were summoned
|for the offices of the last farewell.
He came out OF a stupor about o'clock
land while his mind was partially clear
there took place the last endearments. the
last submission OF the sufferer to the
will OF the almighty, the last murmured
Expressions from his dying lips and the
1ast god byes.
In this interval of consciousness Mrs
Mckinley was brought into the DEATH
chamber The president had asked to see
her She came and sat beside him. held
his hand and heard from him his last
words OF encouragement and comfort.
Then she was led away and not again,
during his living hours did she see him.l

IL Is the determination OF the police de

The future OF the anarchist who seek
for haven In Providence, will be full OF

to run on a loose pulley.
Rhode Island stands for freedom of wor-
ship and soul liberty so far as this mum
dane sphere permits and underlying all
is the foundation stone OF free speech.
But liberty and free speech do not
mean, incorporate. embrace or permit IL

Murphy ~ Co.'s Cotton Letter.

new York, Aug. 15.-Prices of cotton
IN the local market again improved on
the early market 5@7 points. Cables
were surprisingly good, showing a good
advance at Liverpool, the explanation
pelhg that American buying, chiefly by
new orleans, based on damage nv
drought was enough to offset disap-
PoIhtlng financial conditions on the
continent. Moreover the Galveston
news or Texas appeared with a.
puIllsn crop report and this made
s.orts nervous. Yesterdays indications
OF RAIN in Texas was not fulfilled I'D
to the opening, when only small moisr
lure mad occurred at Galveston and
corpus Christi and heavy rain at Vicks-
purg' with one-half of August gone
by. Some Texas people figure that
without soaking rains by the goth inst
Iexas cannot possibly raise over S,00O,-
OOO bales, and If they are delayed until
the 9th, not over 1900, 900 bales.
Prices eased off after the opening:
Gables were about points higher. Port
receipts to-day were $500 bales, against
500 last year,
Advices to the leading firms are to
the effect that rain is an absolute ne
cessity at many Texas points. Cotton
is opening in many instances and the
marketing of new bales is so very
early as to lead to the suspicion that
the picking will be over at an earlier
date than usual, and receipts show "a
marked falling off at an earlier date
than usual. Leaves are falling off bolts
are opening prematurely and bare
stalks alone are left in many Texas
fields. The absence of rain in Texas,
as compared with normal conditions
since March l, shows less moisture at
various points in that state, as follows:
Palestine, over 5 inches; Galveston,
over 5; San Antonio, nearly 5; Corpus
Christi. over T..
On the other hand, Charlotte, N. c.,
has had over IL inches above the nor

The Savannah morning news., 1901-08-16

New Orleans, Aug. 15-The improve
ment in Liverpool was due to American
buying orders predicated on the issu-
ance of bullish Texas crop estimate by
the Galveston News to-day. The paper
issued it's estimate this morning, placing
the crop of Texas and the territories at
S,S26,O0O bales. Our market opened 5
points higher, subsequently declined
points on realizing, but reacted 4
points later on the fear of damage be-
ing probable from the present Gulf
storm now raging. AS it is predicted
that it is pointing inland and will strike
the Texas and Louisiana coast between
the Mississippi river and Galveston,
which will likely cause heavy rains
during the next twenty-four hours in
the Middle Gulf states.
Another material factor in occasion
ing steadiness were advices from Gal
weston claiming that the News would
revise their figures tomorrow and re
duce the Texas estimate to 5000, 900
bales. The net gain on the day was 4
points. The sentiment continues bull
fish, Notwithstanding the poor Euro
pean trade conditions, and the favor
able crop outlook in all states except
Central Texas. 1t is questionable how
ever, whether any decided advance can
be maintained. Unless speculation
takes hold and sipinners enter the mar
ket freely.
