mate news.

NIEVER before in the history of the human
4 race was one so universally mourned as
the late President Mckinley. Not only lid
every loyal citizen of this grand and glorious
country feel the cup of bitterness, but the crown
ed heads and potentates-the Kings and Queens
of the Orient mingled their tears with our
sorrows and the subjects of every country on the
face of the globe bowed in token of reverence for
the greatest President of the Occdent
Even in this country there never was the
sorrow felt, nor bitterness expressed before on
the death Of any man. The writer seated on
the Mckinley funeral train, while on its trim to
Washington, was overwhelmed with astonish-
ment at the multitudes who had gathered alon g
the railroad tracks for the supreme satisfaction
of few seconds glimpse of a funeral cortege,
the cause of which will go down in history as
one of the most momentous events recorded upon
the pages of the history of any republic Thous-
ands, yes hundreds of thousands of people
ocked to the railroad to see lran and if possible
to catch glimpse of the casket. Seas of
flowers and oceans ofcrepe were everywhere visi-
BILE. There was no room to doubt that the whole
nation was bowed in mourning, yea the whole
world was grieved and overloaded with sorrow
tor the Martyr president.

Washington. Sept. PA sharp spat
between Mr.. Rayner, of counsel for
Admiral Schley, and Captain Harber,
who was still on the witness stand yes
terday morning, was the feature of the
6chley court Of inquiry most interest.
Ing to the spectators yesterday. Cap.
tain Harber, who was the executive
officer Of the battleship Texas during
the war with Spain, objected to the
lawyers close questioning and what he
considered an attempt to put words
innto his mouth. Mr.. Rayner said he
wanted to refresh the memory of the
witness, who replied that he believed
the lawyer had an ulterior motive. He
also expressed his anger because the
lawyer shook his finger at him.
Captain Harber's testimony dealt
with the movements of the flying
squadron before the arrival Of Admiral
Sampson upon the scene, and in some

was Commander Seaton Schroeder,
who was executive officer of the battle

to ask the purpose Of this inquiry.

I'VE are going to show" he continued,
"the position Of the New York on the
day Of the battle" He then proceeded
at some length to outline the position
Of the applicant, saying: I'VE have the
absolute right to show the situation
Of the New York on the day of the
battle, and we have the right to show
the connection Of Admiral Sampson in
reference to the battle; we have q
right, for instance, to show that Com.
modore Schley at Santiago maintained
the same sort of blockade that Admiral
Sampson maintained when he got
there on the 1st Of June. So far as
distances are concerned I think we
have the right to show-because one
Of the specifications Of this precept
states-whether or not a close or ade.
Quate blockade Of said harbor to pre-
vent the escape Of the enemy's vessels
therefrom was established.
The Judge advocate at this point in.
terposed an objection by saying the
inquiry was not one between Admiral
Sampson and Admiral Schley. He OBJ.
5ected to the ingenious attempt to ex-
tend the scope of the precept.
During the examination Commander
Heilner admitted having taken part in
the preparation Of the official navy de-
partment chart showing the positions
at different times Of the ships which
participated in the battle. He said that
according to this chart the two ships
never were nearer than 600 yards of
eaeh other, but, he contended, the
chart was inaccurate, and he said he
had only consented to it as COM
promise. Commander Bates admitted
that the official steam log of the Texas
contained no record of the signal to
reverse the engines. Commander
Schroeder testified concerning the coal
supply Of the Massachusetts, which he
said would have been sufficient for a
blockade of from 16 to 20 days.

DEALING WITH THE ASSASSIN.

TNHE prosecution OF President McKinley's
l. assassin has been undertaken with prompt
ness, deceucy and good sense highly creditable to
the officials of Erie County. To them is left
the task of dealing out justice to the murderer
and of preventing him from becoming hero and
an example to the vain and vicious, and it will
be Il cause of satisfaction to the whole country to
know that the people of Buffalo, who conducted
themselves with genuine hospitality, tended
sympathy and perfect taste throughout the days
Of the tragedys unfolding-for which the ma
ton, as well as President McKinley's personal
friends, are profoundly gratetul-have turned
from the sad privilege Of service and sympathy
to the stern duty of punishment with a deter
mination to show New York justice equal to the
responsibility laid upon it.
A prompt trial is promised, at which the as
sassin will not be permitted to make show of
the court or fatter his own vanity, as the MUIR
derer of President Garfield was allowed to do
to the disgrace Of our criminal law. AT the
same time all danger Of reproach that the
wretch did not have fair trial is to be avoided,
and eminent counsel have been selected who
can be trusted at once to see that he has all his
rights and at the same time not to indulge in
pettitogging and spectacular plays. 1t is of the
utmost Importance that every requirement of
law and order be observed. American credit
and civilization have been promoted by the
obedience to President McKinley's own injuuc,
tions against any resort to violence or lynch
law. 1t is to be hoped that passions are now SO
far under control as to make any such danger
remote, but it should nevertheless be guarded
against, and the lesson of obedience to law even
in the face of anarchy inculcated among our
people, who have been too much accustomed to
tolerate and indulge in anarchy in various

him to state whether all possible

fest intention to cut out irrelevant
questions and hearsay testimony. In
several cases the witnesses were ad.

Dewey showed himself a prompt and
methodical presiding officer. He called
the court to order exactly at the desig-
mated hour and adjourned 1t just as
promptly at o'clock.
Did Not SEQ the Texas Stop.
Captain Harber was then asked con-
cerning the position Of the Brooklyn
relative to the Texas and to the other
ships when he first saw her after the
turn.
"The Brooklyn" he replied, was on
the port bow Of the Texas, standing at
an angle l should say approximating
one-half point to the southwark Of the
heading of the Texas. At that time
the Oregon was just forging past us on
the starboard side, in shore. The Iowa
was still farther in shore and pointing
up, so that her bow overlapped our
bow. At one time know that we fred
across the stern Of the Iowa."
Recurring to the Brooklyn, he said
he had seen that vessel Immediately
after 1t had executed the loop. when
It was on the port bow Of the Texas,
about 500 feet distant. The Texas was.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.

THEODORE Roosevelt assumes the great
Il office of President, to which he has been
so mournfuly called, not only with an undoubt-
ed personal purpose to be absolutely faithful in
the performance of its duties but with a sustain
ing assurance Of the confidence and support of
his fellow countrymen. He is a citizen of exalt.
ed personal character, an ardent patriot, a keen
student of men and affairs a statesman of large
experience in executive tasks, and Of wide ac-
ouaintance with the people, the history and the
institutions Of the Unite States. During the
early period Of agonizing suspence, in the days
OF hope and joy through which the nation has
passed, since the swift succession of gloom to
sunshine and in the moment Of his elevation to
pre-eminent station, his demeanor has been fault
less. He is entitled to claim and sure to
command in this emergency, so sorrowtnl to all,
so peculiarly trying to himself, the fullest meas
ure of sympathy and goodwill.
President Roosevelt must be well aware that
his temperament has been regarded as less cau
tieus and conservative than that of his prede-
cessor but he will not fail toustify the universal
trust in his profound sense of responsibility as
he steps into the place assigned to him by the
constitutions If during singuarly active and
varied career, in posts Of public service permit
ing their incumbent to crafty a natural propen-
sity to freedom of speech and attitude, he has
not invariably seemed to take duly serious
view of weighty questions, there now exists not
the slightest cause to doubt that he will repeat
the common experience of able and upright men
on whom great cares are suddenly devolved and
and nobly fulfil the hopes and expectations of
the people. They will see no reversal of con-
victions and purposes at the national capital

CAPTAIN LEMLY. yuD0H ADVOCATE.
Captain Philip, was recalled. The
fourth witness was Commander Sea-
ton Schroeder, executive officer on the
Massachusetts, and governor Of the
Island Of Guam.
The testimony several times during
the day was somewhat exciting and 1t
was especially SO when Commander
Heilner described the battle and the
part the Texas had taken in it. He said
that when the Brooklyn made its loop
at the beginning Of the battle it had
passed across the Texas bow at dis
tance not to exceed 100 to $50 yards
and at the command of Captain Philip
the Texas had been brought to dead
stop. Engineer Bates testified that the
starboard engines had been stopped and
said he thought this also had hap
pened to the port engines. Commander
Heilner expressed the opinion that
three miles had been lost by this
maneuvre and the fact that part of the
machinery was deranged. He said he
considered that the Texas was in great
er danger when the brooklyn crossed
her bows than at any other time dur
ing the battle.
Rayner's Ingenious Effort.
On cross-examination, Commander
Heilner was asked: did you see the
New York on the day of the battle?"
