REMARKABLE DISPLAY
OF GRIEF IN ENGLAND
OutburSts Of Sorrow That Have Only Been EquaIed
Upon the Death Of Sovereign.
King EDWARD Orders the Court Mourning and Prayers Are
Offered For the American People

London, Sept. lett would be almost
impossible TO record in detail the re-
markable outburst OF sympathy in
Great Britain and her colonies over
the death of President Mckinley.
proofs OF which are continually arriV-
ing here. Not only has King Edward
commanded the court to so into
mourning for one week., but wherever
a public meeting of any kind has been
held or wherever a public man has had
occasion TO speak, expressions OF hOr-
ror and sympathy have been heard.
In every place of public worship yes
! terday from st. PaUrs cathedral and
canterbury cathedral down, the preach
ers made special reference to the ter
rible event invoking Gods blessing
upon the United States and the Amer
lean people. Crathie church at Bal
moral, whose bells had never been used
before except on occasions of national
interest, broke the custom and an
nounced the event to the neighbor-
hood.
Mr.. Choate and staff of the United
States embassy attended service at St.
Pauls cathedral in the afternoon and
many other Americans were in the
congregation Canon Scott Holland
made a touching alluSion to the mar
tyred president and denounced the
crime to which he fell a victim
Many members of the diplomatic
corps and a constant stream Of visitors
inscribed their names at the embassy
from Earl Cadogan, the lord lieutenant
of ireland; Sir William Vernon Har-
court, the Duke of Abercrom, the ma
| harajah of Joohlpore: Mr.. Austin, the
poet laureate, and many other prOmi-
nent men.
In accordance with a special army
order to the guards at the st. James
palace and at all other points where
guards are mounted throughout the
United Kingdom, honors were rendered
yesterday to the memory OF President
Mckinley, such as are usually accorded
only on the death of royal personages.
The troops wore crepe and the bands
played dirges- Funeral marches were
played in every church in the kingdom.
Canon Duckworth, preaching in West
minister Abbey, said:
The opening year of the twentieth
century Will be in our memory and in
/ that of our kinsmen as one that drew
us together in the sacred brotherhood
of sorrow. 1t will unite in firmer friend
ship two great nations
The morning papers again appear
with heavily loaded borders and are
almost entirely devoted to Mr. McKin-
ley. No such extended tributes of SYM
death of any person but a British SOW
ereign.
Considerable editorial space is de-
voted to a discussion of Mr.. ROosevelt'S
citing the keenest curiosity throughout
| Europe and that may be said to border
almost upon apprehension.
/ No Precedent For Such a Display.
The Daily Chronicle, discussing the
( world Of sympathy displayed, says:
This sympathy is intensified by full
| realization of calamity until we are
/ almost inclined to say that there is
no precedent for such display OF emo
/ ton and fellow feeling on these partic-
! ular lines. 1t is not impossible that the
! assassination of Mr.. Mckinley will ad-
afnTer-a II
/ governments to which some political
/ students look as the keynote Of future
peace and harmony"
/ The Morning Post says: THE Amer
/ lean people have been robbed Of one Of
/ the greatest leaders the republic ever
produced
Many papers highly approve the pro-
posal that the Duke of Cornwall and
York should attend the funeral and
express a hope that King Edward will
/ see his way clear to adopt the sug-
! gastion.
The Times says of the new president:
Mr.. Roosevelt has great gifts, which
/ rightly used may lead to great issues.
| The danger his friends feel is in a GER
( tain impulsiVeneSs which is undOubt-
eddy part of his nature. We trust
/ his friends are over anxious"
In the editorials on Mr.. Roosevelt.
! sense of relief and intense satisfaction
is exhibited at his declaration that he

unDTOheIl, White MS UlSn courage anu
integrity of character form the subjects
7 of eulogistic comment and Of congra-
tulation to the American nation upon
the possession Of such a brilliant man

The Daily Chronicle says: ct is GER
tain that a man with such marvellous
record will not be a humdrum presi-
dent At the same time he is far COO
level headed TO DO anything rash
1t predicts that the youngest of the

The Daily Mail, which calls attention
to the allegation that he is not friend

disbelief in the same. says: Some Of
