Yesterday the President gathered to-

MKINLEY'S CABINET TO REMAIN
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-President
Roosevelt, at 8 o'clock today, conven-
his first Cabinet meeting held in Wash
ington. At this meeting the President
asked the members of Mr.. Mckinley s
Cabinet to retain their respective port
folios throughout his term, and an
follow the policy outlined by President
Mckinley in his Buffalo speech.
After the obsequies over the late
President, the Cabinet, at President
Roosevelt's request, assembled at the
residence of Commander Cowles, where
the President is staying until after the
funeral, principally for the purpose of
informing their new chief of the state
of affairs in their respective depart
ments. The President desired to learn
requiring his attention before his de-
parture tonight for Canton. He was
assured that there was nothing of
pressing Importance.
The President then addressed his ed-
visers collectively, as he had previous
ly done individually, requesting them
all to retain their respective positions
in his Cabinet. Mr.. Roosevelt express
ed the hope and expectation that ev
cry member would serve throughout
his term for, he said, he rendered the
appointments as If he had just been
elected to the Presidency and was
forming an original Cabinet. The
President said, however that there
was one difference between the pres
ent tender and that of an original Of
fer, namely, that under the present
circumstances they were not at liber-
ty to decline.
Upon being asked by a member if
designations should be formally pre-
sented in the usual manner, the Presi-
dent answered that his action at this

and that fadeth not away, reserved In
heaven for us who are now. by the
power of God, through faith unto saliva
tion ready to be revealed In the last
time
The services for the dead are fitly, and
almost of necessity, services of religion
and of immortal hope. In the presence
of the shroud and the coffin and the mar
row home, questions concerning intellec-
tual quality, concerning public station,
concerning great achievements, sink into
comparative insigniicance, and questions
concerning character and mans relation
: to the Lord and g,ver of life. even the
life eternal, emerge to our view and inn
press themselves upon us.
Character abides. We bring nothing
into this world, we carry nothing out.
We ourselves depart with all the accu-
mutations of tendency and habit and
quality which the years have given to
US. We ask, therefore, even at the grave
of the illustr:ous, not altogether of the
great achievement they had performed
and how they had commended themselves
to the memory and affection and respect
OF the world, but chiefly of what sort
they were: what the interior nature of
Were they with the good, the true, the
noble? What his relation to the infinite
Lord of the universe and to the COM
passionate Savior of mankind, what his
fitness for that great hereafter to which
he has passed.
And such great questions come to us
with the moment, even in the hour, when
We gather around the bier of those whom
we profoundly respect and eulogize, and
whom we tenderly love. In the years to
come we will give full utterance as to
the high craftsmanship and great
achievements Of the illustrious man
whom we mourn today. We shall not
touch them today. The nation already
has broken out in it's grief and poured
it's tears, and is still pouring them over
the loss of a beloved man. 1t Is well.
But we ask this morning of what sort
this man is, so that we may. perhaps,
knowing the moral and spiritual life that
Is past, be able to shape the far-with-
drawing future.

AT 10:40 o'clock the cabinet entered and
were seated to the south of the plat
form, and then, to the strains of Near
er, My God, to Thee by the Marine
Band outside, the casket was borne into
the rotunda. General Gillespie and Col
onel Bingham led the way and every one
arose. The guard of honor on either side
separated, and the casket was placed
gently upon the catafalque. Next came
members of the family of the deceased,

Mckinley was not present. Senator Han
ma was with the family party.
Next the diplomatic corps entered, all
in full court regalia, and were seated to
the south. Former President Cleveland
with General Wilson, his escort, sat In
the first row. Lastly came President
Roosevelt, escorted by Captain Cowles
and preceded by Mr. Cortelyou, secretary
to the late president. He was given a
seat at the end of the row occupied by
the cabinet, just south of the casket Mr.
Roosevelt's face was set and he appeared
to be restraining his emotions with diff

When the noise occasioned by seating
the late comers had ceased a hush fell
upon the people and then the choir softly
sang, Lead, Kindly Light" while every
one stood in reverence.
LISTEN WITH BOWED HEADS.
AT the conclusion of the hymn, Rev
DIR. Henry R. Naylor, presiding elder Of
the Washington District Methodist Epis
copal Curch, delivered the invocation
while the distinguished company listened
with bowed heads.
SERMON OF THE BISHOP.
AS the pastor ceased the voices of the
choir swelled forth and the rich, pure
soprano notes of Mrs. Thomas c. Noyes
led the hymn, Sometime Well Under
stand" The music was remarkably eff.
fective and touching, as the notes came
back in soft echoes from the fullness o1
the dome overhead. As soon as the
hymn ceased Bishop Edward Andrews Of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, who hat
come from Ohio to say the last words
over the remains of his lifelong friend
and parishioner, arose. He stood at the
head of the casket and spoke In sympa
thetic voice and with many evidences
of deep emotion. The Bishop said:

representatives of the Army and the
Navy and the court costumes of the
diplomatic corps.
As the sweet notes of Mr.. McKinley's
favorite hymn. Lead, Kindly Light"
fioated through the great rotunda the
assemblage rose. Barred heads were
bowed and many eyes streamed with
tears. At the conclusion of the hymn
as Rev. DR.. Naylor, presiding elder of
the Washington circuit, rose to offer
the prayer, a solemn hush fell upon the
people. When, in conclusion, he re-
peated the Lords Prayer, the great au-
dience joined with him.
Scarcely had the word amen" been
uttered when the liquid tone of that
sweetly pleading song, Sometime Well

the refrain was echoed and re-echoed
by the double quartet choir.
The venerable Bishop Edwin G. An

position at the head of the bier. A
gentle breeze through the rotunda stirr-

on the venerable mans countenance as
he began his eulogy Of the life and
works of William Mckinley. His words
were simple, but his whole heart was
in every one of them. His tribute to
the Christian fortitude Of the dead
President was impressive. Upon the
conclusion of the sermon the audience,

Nation has officially and with state

the services should be conducted in that

memory OF the last services for two
other victims of an assassin's bullet.
As bentted the occasion and the char
acter OF the man whose remains were
lying cold and rigid In the narrow en-
brace of the metallic casket, the SER

prayer. an address and a benediction,

made about the eatafalque, the as

BUFFALO (N. W, Sept. 17.-Leon F.
Czolgosz. the assassin of President Nc
Kinley, was arraigned before Judge
Edward K Emery, in the County Court
dictment for murder in the first de-
gree. Keeping up his insanity pretense
the stubborn prisoner refused to plead
or even utter a word or sound, and
Loran L. Lewis, ex-Supreme Court JUS
tice entered plea of not guilty. The
prisoner will be tried in the Supreme
Court next Monday morning.
The arraignment of the prisoner was
the consequence of an indictment by the
County Grand Jury for murder in the
first degree, for fatally shooting Presi-
dent Mckinley at the Temple of Music,
in the Pan-American Exposition, at AIS

When arraigned at that time the
Prisoner stubbornly refused to answer
questions repeatedly asked of him by

district Attorney then suggested that.

answer, counsel should be assigned.

Refuses to Answer Questions Put by Counsel,
Judge and Prosecutor When Arraigned
at Buffalo Charged With Murder.

Great secrecy was maintained as to the
place of. confinement of the prisoner,
but 1t Is believed that he was locked
up in the temporary jail at the Erie
County Peniteniary.
The prisoner was shackled to a de-
tective, and another detective held his
other arm, Assistant Superintendent
Cusack marching in front and a num-
Der of patrolmen behind.
Czolgosz is of medium height, of fair
ly good build, and has light, curly hair,
but ten-days' growth of beard on mis-
face gave him an unkempt appearance.
Apparently he feigned insanity, not
stupidity. and his glance roamed about,
but his eyes were always downcast.
Not once did he look the County Pros
ecutor or the Judge in the face.
"Czolgosz, have you got a lawyer
do you wish a lawyer? You have been
indicted for murder in the first degree.
Do you want a lawyer to defend you?
Czolgosz, look at me and answer
District Attorney Penny fred these
questions at the prisoner, his voice ris-
ing with each succeeding question, but
Czolgosz stubbornly refused to answer.
The District Attorney respectfully sug
gested that counsel be assigned to de-
fend the prisoner and ascertain what
he had better do as to his plea to the
indictment before arraignment. Judge
Emery then asked the prisoner if he
had counsel, but there was no answer,
despite the fact that the police Off
GERS told him the Judge was speaking
and that ne must answer.
The court then announced that the
bar association has recommended two
attorneys, and he would assign Loran
L. Lewis and Robert c. Titus as
counsel, and give them time to con-
suit. The prisoner was removed and
though the crowd surged about, there
was no disorder.
Beginning early this morning crowds
fiocked to the City Hall to see the
prisoner, and the most notable incident
was the kissing of the prisoner by the

BUSINESS OF GOVERNMENT
ONCE MORE IS UNDER WAY
President Roosevelt Takes Mckinley's Chair at
the Cabinet Table and Discusses Admin
istrative Policies TO Come.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-After a
suspension of three days as mark of
respect to the dead President the bust
ness of the Government at Washington
was resumed at 9 a. m. today. Pie
train bearing President Roosevelt and
the members of his Cabinet arrived at
the Pennsylvania station at 9.20 o'clock
and fifteen minutes later the President
entered the White House and going at
once to the elevator, proceeded to the
Cabinet room, where President McKin-
ley was wont to do the greater part Of
his work. When the new Chief Exec
utive reached the White House he
swung wide open to admit him. He
spoke pleasantly as he passed to the
watchman and other employees of the
mansion, and reaching his office, W 5
joined almost Immediately by Secretary
Long, who did not go to Canton to take
part in the funeral ceremonies. Soon
afterward Senator Cullom called to pay
his respects and following him came
Senator Proctor. one of the Presidents
close personal friends.
Secretary Long informed the Presi-
dent as to the condition of affairs in
his office and was asked as to the work
of the Schley court of inquiry. With
Senator Cuilom President Roosevelt-ex-
changed pleasant greetings and receiv-
ed the assurances of the support of the
Illinois Senator. With Senator Proc

the funeral ceremonies on Thursday.
Secretaries Hay and Long remained
in Washington at the Presidents re.
quest, Roosevelt thinking that some
members of the Cabinet should con.
tinue in Washington.
Besides holding the Cabinet meeting
President Roosevelt saw few callers
during the afternoon. At 7:30 o'clock
he and Commander CowIes left the
latter's residence for the Pensylvanis

sistant secretary. Mr.. Cortelyou. at the
Presidents earnest request, will retain
his position as his secretary
AT IL o'clock all the members of the
Cabinet had arrived at the White House
and soon were seated around the famil-
lar table. President Roosevelt occu-
pied a seat at its head and in the chair
long occupied by his predecessor. The
gloom and solemnity which character
lied the meeting was not unbefitting the
occasion.
Nearly all the members of the pres
ent Cabinet are quite sure to remain
during Mr.. Roosevelts term, but 1t II
very probable that Secretary Long will
retire within the next few months. He
feels that he can resign without embar-
rassment to Mr.. Roosevelt and there
fore it is thought that he will ask dur
ing the next few months, the President
to permit him to retire to private life.
The Cabinet was in session about an
hour and a half, all of the time being
spent in a general review of the more
important questions which will require
the attention of the new President.
All of the members were present ex-
cept Attorney General Knox, who stop
ped for a few days in Pittsburg. Each
member explained to the President the
policy which had been followed In deal
ing with the matters under considera
ton and their present status. No new
business was taken up.
Members subsequently expressed
themselves as having full confidence in
Mr.. Roosevelt's ability to give the coun-
try strong and conservative admins
tration and he will have their loyal sup
port to the same degree as they gave
it to the late President. 1t Is thought
that Tuesdays and Fridays will be
selected by the new President as the
Cabinet days, following In this the pref
erence of Mr.. Mckinley.
