Marine Band Improbable.

The customary Saturday afternoon con-
cert of the Marine Band at the White
House was omitted yesterday. The order
was issued yesterday afternoon at the
Navy Department, canceling the enter
tainment in view of the serious condition
of the President and the consequent uni
versal grief.
1t is improbable that the Marine Band
will give any further free public concerts
this Season, and certainly none while the
life of Mr.. Mckinley hangs in the bal
