DEATH OF THE PRESIDENT.

William Mckinley, twenty fifth
President Of the United States, died
at Buffalo, New York. at 2:l5 last
Saturday morning from the effects OF
an assassin's bullet. When the Off
cial announcement Of the Presidents
death was made in Eureka, although
not unexpected, it was received with
profound sorrow in this community,
and expressions Of regret were heard
on every hand. The Court House
and school house flags were run up ct
half mast and several Of the business
houses in Eureka draped their places
in mourning.
William Mckinley was born at
Niles, Trumbull county, Ohio, Janu-
airy 30, 1843. His ancestors were
Scotch Irish and Puritans. He was
educated in the public schools at Niles,
Union Seminary, at Poland, Ohio, and
Allegheny College at Mesdville, Penn
sylvania. Before attaining his major
ity he taught in the public schools.
At the beginning Of the Civil VA in
1851, Mr.. Mckinley volunteered as q
private in the Twenty-third Ohio
Volunteer Infantry, and served until
mustered out in 1865. He represented
Ohio In the Lower House Of Congress
for nearly fourteen years, was twice
elected Governor of Ohio, and in 1896
was elected President of the United
States. In 1900 he was the unanimous
choice Of his party for q second term.
upon which he entered on the 4th oil
last March.
On January %. 1871, he married
Miss Ida Saxton. Two daughters
were born to him, both Of whom died
in childhood.
That he faced the inevitable with
courage and resignation was expressed
in the last words spoken by him to his
heart broken wife as he pressed hel
hands before relapsing into uncon'
seriousness: Goods will, not ours, b.
DONE"
The funeral took place at Canton
Ohio, last Thursday.
The untimely death of Presiden'
Mckinley recalls forcibly to mind
""Tis the fash of an eye, tbs the draugh
of a breath,
From the fullness Of life to the ~stillnes
of death;
From the gilded salon to the bier an

TENDER 10, as q day of mourning and
prayer throughout the United States
when the body of the late President
Mckinley should be laid in it's last

date of September Is, supplemented it
with an earnest recommendation that
the people of Nevada observe and re-
spect the day named in the manner
by President Roosevelt.

The physicians held an autopsy upon
the body of President Mckinley last
Saturday afternoon and issued the fol-
lowing report:
1.-THE bullet which struck over the
breast bone did not pass through the
skin and did little harm. The other
bullet passed through both walls of the
stomach near its lower border. Both
holes we're found to be perfectly closed
by the stitches. but the tissue around
each hole had become 0angrenous.
cater passing through the stomach,
the bullet passed into the back walls
of the abdomen, hitting and tearing
the upper end of the kidney. This por-
ton of the bullets track was also gan
grenous, the RanRrene involving the
pancreas. The bullet has not yet been
found.
"There was nc sign Of peritonitis or
disease of other organs. The heart
walls were very thin.
There was no evidence OF any at
tempt at repair on the part of nature,
and death resulted from the gsngrene
which affected the stomach around the
bullet wounds, a. we'll az the tissues
around the further course OF the bullet.
Death was unavoidable by any surgical
or medical treatment. and was the d.
rect result of the bullet wound"
The report of the autopsy has given
rise to the theory limited at . day or
two after the President was shot, that
Czolgosz, in order to insure the accom-
plishment OF his purpose, poisoned the
bullets fired. The gangrene found
in the path of the bullet is thought to
be strong evidence in support of this
view by DR.. Wssdin. one of the con
sulting physicians. DR.. Wasdin is con
sidered an expert Of high standing in
the Marine Hospital Service.

CHArNmAN COMPANY Trouble.

That q rupture has occurred in the
management Of the affairs of the
Chairman Mining Company, operating
at Ely, White Pine county, is q fact Of
which there is now no longer any
doubt. What has caused this trouble,
from what we have been able to learn,
is q case of too many bosses, and each
having an idea as to how the affairs OF
the company should be managed, dia-
metrically opposed to the other.
The first intimation that things were
not going along smoothly with the
Chairman Company VAS noted when
General Manager r. ]. Dawson left for
the East on the 10th of last August for
the purpose of consulting with some Of
the directors and stockholders Of the
company with reference to certain diff
ferences which arose q short time pre-
vious to his departure. Prior to the
advent of Mr.. Dawson, clothed with
the authority OF General Manager. l..
F. Shepherd was the superintendent
in charge, while Fred d. Smith was
the chemist and accredited Mill Su-
perintendent. That these two gentle
men had set worked in harmony for
several months was notorious, and
when Mr.. Dawson appeared on the
scene this was the condition with
which he was confronted. Mr.. Davi-
son himself was also drawn into the
controversy, and he made an attempt
to GUST Mr.. Shepherd from his posi-
ton, but it then developed that the
Superintendent had been engaged for
q stated period and could only be dis
charged by paying him his salary up
to that time. The rupture became Sc
open that affairs around the Chairman
were allowed to drift along apparently
without a head to direct operations.
There is in course of construction or
the Chairman ground a magnificent
combination mill. 1t was to have
been completed and running by the
first Of the present month. 1t is fur
Their stated that the stockholders of the
company and the people Of Ely are tc
be congratulated that il was not il
running order by the time specified in
the contract. A positive statement il
made by n who visited the under
ground workings of the mine three
different times in five months
that during all that time little
if any, work had been done in any
portion of the mine; not a ton Of orr
had been extracted and not an effor
made to get any portion Of the mine
in readiness for taking out ore of an,
grade. And during that time ever
effort was being made to hurry thu
mill to completion by September l.
Mr.. Dawson returned to Ely from
his trip East last week, and it is nov
stated that information has been re
ceived from the stockholders of tn,
company in the East to the effect tina
both superintendent Shepherd ant
Mill superintendent Smith have beer
retired.

celebrated case before the court
meets September IL.
Meanwhile the clerical force of the
judge advocates department can
prepare the mass of documentary
evidence necessary for use before the
points may be gathered ready for the
opening. 1t should be noted that un-
der the ordinary rules of practice the
judge advocate general of the navy is
called upon to review the proceed
ings of court-martials and courts of
inquiry. Secretary Long has prom
ised Capt. Lemly that he will be ex-
empted from the duty of reviewing
the proceedings of the Schley court.
Capt. Lemly has probably had more
experience in the prosecution of
naval law cases than any other Of
ficer in the navy, and is generally re-
garded as one of the best equipped
officers in the navy for the important
duties which will devolve upon him
as judge advocate of the court se-
lected to pass upon controversial
points resulting from the conduct of
the naval campaign in the West In
dies.
Prior to his assumption of his du.
ties as judge advocate general of the
navy, in June, 1899, he was prom
inently identified with several of the
most important trials and investiga-
tions in the recent annals - the
navy. As judge advocate and record
Of hA 4
nearly all points of the world visited
by United States warships, going as
far as China and Japan in the prose-
cution of such work.
He was judge advocate of the court
martial convened in China as a re-
suit of the loss of the United States
steamship Ashuelot, and was also
judge advocate in the court-martial
case of Paymaster Watkins, which
sat at Yokohama. He was also Judge
advocate in the court-martial cases
appointed for the trial of eX-Surgeon
General Wales and eX-Paymaster
General Smith. Probably his most
important work of this kind, how
ever, was as Judge advocate of the
court of inquiry which investigated
the loss of the Jeannette in the Are
tic. That investigation was con-
ducted in Washington and was
marked by almost as much aorimony
and controversy as the pending
Sampson-Schley case.
Naval officers in speaking of the
fairness of Secretary Long in select
ing the court of inquiry point to the
fact that Admiral Kimberly was
Schley's commander back in the 70's.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 31.-It is
now reasonably certain that at least %
persons pershed as result of the eX-
plosion of one of the boilers Of the steam
er City of Trenton on the Delaware river
above this city on Wednesday afternoon.
This conclusion is reached by the police
authorities through the fact that II per-
sons who are reported by their relatives
or friends to have been on the steamer
have not yet been found. These missing
persons, with II bodies already recov-
cred, make a total of %. Ten persons
are still in serious condition rs re-
suit of the disaster, of whom four are in

WILMINGTON, Del, Sept. AT
Coochs Bridge yesterday the monument
marking the battlefield where il is claim
ed the stars and stripes We're first un-

anniversary of the engagement in 1771
between the troops of General Washing
ton and General Howe, which was com

tice Lore, president of the Historical So
ciety of Delaware presided. The monu-
ment was presented to the state by j..

ernor John Hum. Addresses were Made
by Walter 5. Logan of New York, presi-
dent general of the National Society of
Sons of the American Revolution; Gener-
al James III. Wilson, U. 3. A. and others.
The monument, which is of granite, is

Nine New OIL Gushcrs.

BEAUMONT, Tex, Sept. 2.-During
the week just closed nine gushers were
brought in. This is decidedly the biggest
week in the history of the fields. During
the month nineteen spouting wells were
completed. Several miles of pipe line
have been laid. a dozen large storage
tanks completed and several more begun.
Not less than twenty big steel tanks hav
ing Il capacity of $500 to $4,000 gallons
have been contracted for, and several of
them are now under course of construc-
ton. On the whole, the month just clos
ed has witnessed Il development in this
field that is marvellous. The week had
its tragic side in the four deaths result
ing from the breaking loose of one of the
gushers. Fortyfour gushers have been
completed. The daily shipments now
average eighty-five cars.

in General Lawton's division. At Caney
he commanded the left wing. and for dis
unguished services in that battle he was
promoted to major general of volunteers.
He was rcckoned before his illness "the
handsomest man in the army"
General Ludlow was one of the best
known officers in the army. He entered
the Military academy from New York
in 1850 and graduated before the close
Of the civil war, entered the corps of en-
sineers and rendered conspicuous services
in the south, for which he was brevetted
lieutenant colonel.
Many important works of coast de-
tense and river and harbor improvements
have been under his charge, and he was II
member of the Nicaragua canal commits
sion which made a report upon that
project just before the present commits
sion was appointed. In May, 1898 he
was made II brigadier general of volun-
teers and took an important part in the
operations around Santiago. He was pro-
NOTED to major general of volunteers in
recognition of his services. Upon the re-
arrangement of the volunteer officers aft
er the close of the Spanish war he be-
came n brigadier general of volunteers
and retained that position until appointed
a brigadier in the regular army last Jan
uary. Soon after his appointment he
went to the Philippines, but a short serv-
ice there developed tuberculosis, and he
was invalided home.

the tonnage of the canals for the week
ended Aug. Do compared with the ton
mage of the corresponding week OF last
year, as given out by Colon&eIohn n.
Partridge, superintendent of public works,
shows that the increased business on the
canals which began with the opening of
the season continues. The total of tons
carried last year was 111,31G. That for
1901 is 117,325 the increase being G,009
tons. The actual increase in eastern ship
ments for the week is nearly 10000 tons.
This increased shipment consists largely
of wheat, the total tons being 1871 as

MAN OF EXPERIENCE.
Capt. Lemly, Judge Advocate of
Schley Court of Inquiry.
Ins HAD More to DO with the Prose-
cution of Naval Law Cases Than
Any other Omcer in the
Service.

Capt. Lemly is particularly well
fitted for the exacting duties of
Judge advocate. He is now serving
his third term as judge advocate
general. He is civil as well as
maritime lawyer. So far as known
he has never expressed an opinion as
to the merits of either Rear Admiral
Sampson or Rear Admiral Schley. lie
served with Schley in the Essex on
the South Atlantic station, and was
watch officer on board the Thetis,
commanded by Capt. Schley, which,
with the Bear, formed the Greedy
relief expedition.
Capt. Lemly says he would feel
hurt to have il intimated that he has
any personal feeling whatever in the
controversy. In all the time he has
been at the head of the legal depart
ment of the navy, his service dating
back to 1892, he has, fortunately, never
had occasion to pass upon any ques-
tion that involved either Sampson or
Schley in any personal aspect. He
has known both--Schley better than
Sampson, perhaps. He was one of
Schley's personal friends when he
Uemly) was in active line service.
Indeed, he accompanied Schley on
the famous Greedy relief expedition,
and he rendered valuable service to
Schley on that occasion, which the
senior officer recognized. On the
other hand, Capt. Lemly has known
Sampson officially in the navy de-
partment when the admiral was at
the head of the ordnance bureau,
and they were thus thrown into close
contact in business point of view
at least for several years.
Capt. Lemly had already arranged
to depart from Washington on his
annual leave on a trip through Cana
da some time in August. He will ar
range to leave on later date now,
