WASHINGTON September 16.-

people stretching from Buffalo up over
the Alieghanies, down into the broad
valleys of the Susquehanna and the
city on the banks of the shining Poto-
mac, the nations martyred President

|seat of government, over which he pre-
sided for four years and half.

drained it's population at the sides of
the track over which the funeral train
passed. The thin lines through the
mountains and the sparsely settled dis
tricts thickened at the little hamlets,
covered acres in towns, suddenly grew
TO the proportions of respectable cities
and were congregated into vast multi
tudes in the larger cities. Work was
suspended in field and mine and city.
The schools were dismissed. Every
where appeared the trappings and tok-
ems of woe. Millions of flags at half
mast dotted hilsides and valleys and
formed a thicket of color over the cities.
And from almost every banner stream
ed bit of crepe.
The train left Buffalo at $3.50 o'clock
this morning and arrived at Washing
ton at 1888 o'clock tonight. In twelve
hours it is estimated that over half a
million people saw the coffin which
held all that was mortal of President
Mckinley.
