In the course of the announcement Presi-
dent. Claudy makes the following comment
on the death of President Mckinley:
"One diScordant note of sadness, however,
Jars the harmony Of our preparations. 1t
Is our grief at the deed Of the cowardly
assassin who struck down the chief magis-
trate of our beloved country. No native
born American can feel more deeply, re-
greet more honestly or mourn more sim
cerely the calamity which has befallen the
nation. But words are empty of meaning
at such a time. We can but add our mite
to the expression Of feeling which the
whole world voices; grief for the dead
sympathy for the living

dent; John Waldmann, vice president; Louis
