president Roosevelt reached Buffa-

meet only by his private secretary,
William Loeb, Jr. An immense
crowd, watch had boon awaiting his
arrival for hours, wHs gathered about
tho station, casor to catch first
sight Of tho president The train,
however, did not enter the station
proper, but the president landed at
tho terrace. When ho loft the train,
IN escort Of the Fourth Signal Corps
formed about him and conducted
hln to III automobile which his friend,
Anslny Wilcox, had in waiting.
The demonstration which greeted
his appearance was in keeping with
tho Hol"mnity Of tho occasion. Those
who saw him did notrase a cheer,
but "ttostol their respect by lifting
their hats.
As soon H& nc entered the vehicle, the
chauffeur turned the lever and the au-
tomOble went skimming away to the
residence OF Mr.. Wilcox, on Delaware
avenue. Twenty mounted police, clat-
tcring along either sido could with
difficulty keep the pace which the au-
tomoblc set. President Roosevelt de-
clincd to make any statomont whatever
for publication.

ants being William Loeb, Jr., his Sec

feared Mr.. Mckinley might expire
at any moment, as he did not respond
to ordinary stimulants. 1t WAS only
when recourse WAS had to the des-
perate resources of injecting saline
solution, which saved Mrs. Mckin.

almost 14O. But the slight rally
came, and returning hope with it.
With the fresh energies of daylight,
the president appeared peroeptibly
stronger, and the physicians an
nounced in their 8 o'clock bulletin
that his condition WAS improved
The pulse had fallen several points
from the highest, and they affirmed
the existence of hope.
The physicians began to arrive for
the morning consultation at 8:l5.
The new detail Of soldiers for guard
duty for today arrived from Fort
Porter Il few minutes later The
guard was changed, and the sentrios
posted for the day.
At $50, while the consultation was
going on inside, an old lady, who
was plainly crank, approached the
inner rope and insisted upon being
admitted. She said she desired to

A NJ EMORABLE SCENE.

At 0:3O, the scene about the Mil.
burn reside 90 was one that will live
in the m"mory Of those who wit
messed it, rs long as life lasts. Down
the streets, in evoly direction, peo-
pie we're massed, hundreds deep,

correspondents of all the leading
journals Of the world we're waiting,
ready TO flash the first news as far as
the wires reach; while within tho
tents, the busy telegraph instruments
were clicki g off the sad intelligence.
In front Of the residence, tho blue
coated soldiers paced, with arms at
right shoulder. All we're waiting,
waiting almost breathlessly, for the
news.

down the street. Neither stopped
fer word as they rushed into the
house. After them came Abner Mo.
Kinley, pale and agitated. He had
left the house scarcely two hours be-
fore, and had departed with the as
surance that the tide had turnod in
the case Of his distinguished brother.
He had been aroused from slumber
by messenger who told him to come
at once.
Secretary Wilson and Secretary
Hitchcock, in grief at the peril of
their chief, arrived within few
moments. Neither knew the true
state of the president at that mo-
ment, and in silent fear they quickly
entered the house. Another hurry
ing visitor was DR.. Wasdin, whose
arrival completed the circle of ply.
sicians; and another was Mrs Mo.
Williams, the friend of Mrs McI[in-
Icy.
THE WHOLE CITY WAS AROUSED.
The Buffalo papers all had extras
with the sad intelligence of the presi-
dents relapse on the streets at day
light. One paper announced that
the president WAS dying. The result
was that the whole city WAS tho
roughly aroused and alarmed early,
and before 7 o'clock crowds of peo-
pie focked in the direction of the
Milburn residence to learn If the
latest news was not more reassuring.
They stood at the ropes, far down
the intersecting streets, and waited
patlontly for the appearance of the
morning bulletin. Many of them re-
fused to credit the news of tho presi-
dents sudden change for the worse
until they had learned by words Of
mouth from the sentries Of the presi.
dents dangerous and critical condi-
tion.
Of all the sad household, only the
wife did not know the truth. She
surmised that Mr.. Mckinley WAS
worse, for she WAS told this morning
it would be better for her not to
enter the sick chamber. She assent
ed, but it WAS with look Of mute
appeal in her eyes.
The president himself seemed to
realize that his life hung by thread.
This morning he looked out of the
window. When the nurse sought to
adjust the pillow to keep out the
light, he murmured feeble protest.
"It is 40 beautiful" said he; "the
trees are 30 beautiful, [ want to see
them"

HIS DEVOTED WIFE.

CALLED HIs DEVOTED WIFE.
After they left the sick room, the
physicians rallied him to conscious
moss, and the president asked al,
most Immediately that his wife bc
brought to him. The doctors fell
back into the shadows of the room as
Mrs. Mckinley cnmo through tho
doorway. Tho strong face Of the
dying man Lighted up with faint
smile M their hnnds we're claared,
Sho sat beside hlm and held his
hand. Despite her physical weak
ness, she bore up bravely under tho
ordeal.
The president, in his last period of
consciousness, which ended about
7:4O p. M, chantod the words of the
hymn, "Nearer My God to Thee,"
and his last audiable conscious words,
rs taken down by DR.. Mann at tho
bedside, wore:
dOD'S WILL BE DONE.
"Good bye all, good bye; it is Coda
way; His will be dono." Then his
mind began to wander, and soon af-
terw"rd he completely lost ccnscous-
ness. His life was prolonged for
hours by the administration of oxy-
gen, and the president finally OK
pressed desire to be allowed to die.
About $50, the administer Of
oxygen ceased, and tho pulse grew
fainter and fainter. He was sinking
gradually, like child, into the eter-
nal slumber. BY 10 o'clock the
pulse could no longer be felt in his
extremities, and they grew cold.
Below stairs the grief -strickon gath
ering waited sadly FIR the ond.
STILL BATTLING AGAINST DEATH.

until 2 a. m. DR.. Mann said at II
o'clock that the president was still
alive, and probably would 1.-Two an
hour. The minutes lengthonod to
hours, and midnight came with tho
president still battling against death.
At the midnight hour the NIilburn
house was the centre of scene ami
mated as though it wero midday,
although solemn hush hung over
the great crowd of watchers. The
entire lower part Of the house WAS
aglow with light, and the many at.
tendants, friends and relatives could
be seen within, moving about, and
occasionally coming in groups to the
front doorway for breath of air.
Secretary Root and Secretary Will
son came from the house about mid
night and paced mp and down tho
sidewalk. All that Secretary Root
said was: "The night has not come
yet"
GREAT HEART PHYSICIANS ARRIVE.
Despite the fact that vitality con.
tinued to ebb as midnight htapproached
no efforts were spared to keep tho
spark of life glowing. DR.. Janeway,
OF New York, arrived at the Buffalo
depot at II 40 o'clock. George Ur-
ban was waiting for him, and they
drove at break. heck pace to the
Milburn house. He was shown TO
the presidents room at once, and be.
gan an examination of the almost
lnanimate form.
