LONDON, Sept. lett would be almost
impossible to record in detail the remark
able outburst of sympathy In Great Brit
ain and her colonies over the death of
President Mckinley, proofs of which
come hourly. Not only has King Edward
ordered the court to go into mourning
for one week, but wherever public meet
ing of any kind has been held or public
man has had occasion to speak, express
slons of horror and sympathy have been
heard In every place of public worship
yesterday, from st. Pauls cathedral and
Canterbury cathedral down, the preach
ers made special references to the terri
bic event, invoking Gods blessing upon
the United States and the American pao-
pie.
Mr.. Choate and the staff of the United
States embassy, who again had their
hands very full, attended service at ST
PaulS cathedral in the afternoon There
We're many other Americans in the con-
gregation. Canon Scott Holland made a
touching alluSfon to the martyred ,preSi-
dent "and denounced the crime to which
he fell victim, characterzing 1t as "a
crime whose tragic significance lies in
its occurrence in the new world"
The postoffice department granted spe-
cial facilities to enable the embassy to
telegraph replies. Earl Cadogan referred
to the "trreparable loss which the whole
world deplores." Sir William Harcourts
dispatch was signed also by his wife and
expressed sympathy and sorrow for the
death of 1.-The great president, whose loss
is deplored alike in England and in
America
TROOPS IN MOURNING
In accordance with a special army or
der the guards at ST. James palace and
at all other points where guard was
mounted throughout the United Kingdom
henors were rendered yesterday to the
memory of President Mckinley such as
are usually accorded only on the death
OF royal personages. The troops wore
Grape and the bands played dirges. Flu
neral marches were played in every
church in the kingdom. The morning pa
pers again appear with heavily loaded
borders, and are almost entirely devoted
to Mr.. McKinley's death. No such ex-
tended tributes of sympathy and respect
ever marked the death of any person but
British sovereign. They certainly
would not have been called out by the
death of any continental ruler
In addition to almost endless sue
cesslon of dispatches describing the final
events and filling many columns sew
eral columns of each journal are given
up to descriptions of the sympathy
evoked at home and abroad to extracts
from sermons, speeches and editorials
and to extended sketches of the careers
of both Mr.. Mckinley and Mr. Roose-
welt, together with "reminiscences most
ly accompanied by portraits.
The Daily Graphic gives series of
wood cuts Illustrating the assassination
and subsequent events. as well as an ed
1torial expressing sympathy and con-
dclence.
DISCUSSES ROOsEvELTs POLICY.
Considerable editorial space is devoted
to discussion of Mr.. Roosevelt's prob
able policy, a question which is exciting
the keenest curiosity throughout Europe,
a curiosity that may be said to border al
most upon apprehension.
The Daily Chronicle discussing the
worldwide sympathy displayed says:
This sympathy is intensified by a full
realization of the calamity until we are
almost inclined to say that there is no
precedent for such a display of emotion
and fellow feeling on these political lines.
1t is not impossible that the assassfna-
ton of Mr.. Mckinley will advance inter-
national comfy of governments, to which
some political students look as the key
note of future peace and harmony"
