Theodore Roosevelt was appointed Assis-
tant Secretary OF the Navy April 49, 1897.
He brought to the duties of the Office a

tremendous energy and talent for closely

had characterized him in other fields He
also brought to the position some of his
startling methods, and again proved him.

In the fall of 1897 he was detailed to in
spect the fleet gathered at Hampton Roads,
and he kept the commanders and ship
Judges in ferment for week. Whenever
ne thought OF drill he would like to see
he ordered it. The crews were called to
night quarters, and all sorts Of emergency
orders were given at all sorts of hours,
When the Assistant Secretary came back to
Washington to report, he had mastered
some OF the important details of the situa-
tiOn, at least.
During his rather brief connection with
the department Mr.. Roosevelt was a strong
advocate of the Naval Personnel bill. He
was also in charge of the purchase of auxil-
lary vessels after the war was actually de-
clared When guns had been fired in actual
warfare and the invasion of Cuba had been
determined upon, Mr.. Roosevelt resigned,
to take part with the land forces in that
campaign.
OF President Roosevelt's career in the
Spanish-American war, of his election and
service as vice president the country is
familiar. He, with others, was positive Mr..
Mckinley would recover and had gone on a

FUNERAL AT RuEFALO,

BUFFALO, n. Y, Sept Is. Buffalo, to-
day, became a city of mourners. The gay
and flaming decorations of the Pan-Amer-
lean Exposition gave way to the symbols Of
sorrow. The black drapery of the city's
streets mufled the tolling bells of the
churches Bits of crepe appeared on every
sleeve. The sorrow was apparent every
where
In the morning simple service took

over the dead body. That was all. Only
the immediate family and the friends and
political associates Of the late President
were present. The scene there was pathetic

cOrtege on the brawny shoulders of eight
sailors and soldiers. The eortege passed
through solid walls of humanity, barehead-
ed and grief stricken, to the City Hall, where
the body lay in state, this afternoon.
There a remarkable demonstration oc-
dent was to the hearts of the people. Ar
rangements had been made to allow the
public to view the body from the time it
arrived, at about 11.30 until O'Clock. But
the people were wedged into the streets
for blocks. Two lines were formed. They
extended literally for miles.
When O'Clock came 10000 people had al
ready passed and the crowds waiting below
in the streets seemed undiminished. 1t was
decided to extend the time until midnight
Then for hours longer the streets were
dense with people and constant stream
flowed up the steps of the broad entrance
into the hall and past the bier.
When the doors were closed at midnight
| it was estimated that $4,000 people had
viewed the remains, but thousands of dis
appointed ones were still in the streets.
The body lay in the City Hall until
morning. 1t was taken to the station by
| military escort, Monday morning, and at
$50 the funeral train made start for
Washington over the Pennsylvania Rail
road. Mrs. Mckinley, the President, the
cabinet and relatives and friends of the
dead President accompanied the remains.
Mrs; Mckinley bore up bravely, dur

and DR.. Rixey, her physician, thinks she
will be able to support her trying part in

The death of that illustrious statesman
