Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1901-09-14

Buffalo, Sept. 14.-BefOre 6 p. m.
yesterday it was clear to those at the
presidents bedside that he was dying.
and preparations We're made for the
last sad offices of farewell from those
who We're nearest and dearest TO him.
Oxygen had been administered stead,
lily, but with little effect in keeping
back the aprpaoch of death. The
president came out of one period OF
Inconsistencies only to relapse into
another. But in this period. when his
mind was partially clear. occurred a
series of events of profoundly touching,
character. Down stairs. with strained
and tear-stained faces, members of the
cabinet We're grouped in anxious waltz
ing. They knew the end was near and
that the time had come when they,
must see him for the last time on
earth. This was about O'Clock.
Farewell OF the Cabinet.
One by one they ascended the Stair-i
way-SecretaEy- Root, Secretary Hitch
cock and Attorney General Knox .eSec-
retary Wilson also was there. but hey
held back. not wishing to the the pres
ident in his last agony. There was
only momentary stay of the cabinet
officers at the threshold OF the death
chamber. Then they withdrew, the
fears streaming down their faces and
the words of intense grief choking in
hnf - Iaff I,n cfcl-
room the physicians rallied him to
and the president asked
Immediately that his wife be
brought to him.
His Wife Holds His Hand.
The doctors fell back into the sha-
dcws of the room as Mrs. Mckinley
came through the doorway. The
strong face of the dying man lighted
up with a faint smile as their hands
Were clasped. She sat beside him and
held his hand. Despite her physical
weakness she bore up bravely under
the ordeal.
Last Conscious Words of the President.
The president. in his last period of
which ended about 7:4O. !
cbanted the words of the hymn. Near
er, My God. to Thee" and his last
audible conscious words, as taken
down by DIR. Mann ut the bedside, !
were: Goodbye. all; goodbye. 1t is
Gods way. His will be done" q
On the Threshold of Death.
Then his mind began to wander, and /
soon he completely lost consciousness. 4
His life was prolonged for hours by
the administration of oxygen. and the !
president finally expressed a desire to
be allowed to die. About $50 p. m. 1
the administration of oxygen ceased,
and the pulse grew fainter and fainter.
He was sinking gradually. like child.
into the eternal Slumber. BY 10
o'clock the pulse could no longer be I

provision against disaster he provided
I caches of stores on all the prominent
headlands along the route, and he had

These cans could be opened from

The fact that the physicians had
given up all hope caused some discus
sion among the public men in the city
of the probability of an extra session
of congress and of early changes in
the cabinet. but the consessus of opin-
ion was that no cabinet changes of
important departures in public policy
were at all likely for some time to
come, and that congress would not be
assembled until its regular session in
December. All the cabinet. the chief
diplomatic officials and the heads of
important bureaus. according to Gus
tom, will tender their designations. to
relieve the president of embarrassI
ment.
But it is believed that Roosevelt
would follow the precedent set by
President Arthur after Garfield's de-
mise, and request them to continue in
office. Some of the cabinet members
are Rot in good health, and would sin
cerely welcome relief from their Of
fees. but all would waive their per-
sonal desires and continue until such
time as they could be relieved easily,
if. indeed. they request relief at all.
