PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT GIVES
FURTHER EVIDENCE OF HIS
EARLY FORMED DE-
TERMINATION
TO FOLLOW IN EVERY DETAIL
THE PLANS AND POLICIES OF Nc
KINLEY's ADMINISTRATION.
CABINET TO CONTINUE.

WASHINGTON, September IT,
President Roosevelt at 3 o'clock to-day
convened his first cabinet meeting held
in Washington. At this meeting the
President asked the members Of Mr..
McKinleys cabinet to retain their re-
spective portfolios throughout his term
and announced that his administration
would follow the policy outlined by
President Mckinley in his Buffalo
speech.
After the obsequies over the late
President, the cabinet at President
Roosevelt's request, assembled at the
residence of Commander Cowles, where
the President is staying until after the
funeral, principally for the purpose of
informing their new chief Of the state
of affairs in their respective depart
ments. The President desired to learn
if there were any matters of moment
requiring his attention before his de-
parture tonight for Canton. He was
assured that there was nothing of
pressing Importance. The President
then addressed his advisers collective
~. as he had previously done indivi,
dually, requesting them all to retain
their respective positions in his cabi-
net.
Mr.. Roosevelt expressed the hope
and expectation that every member

DIR. RIxEY BELIEVES SHE WILL BE
ABLE TO BEAR Up UNDER
THE ORDEAL
OF TO-DAY AND TOMORROW
But THE LONG AFTER DAYS AND
NIGHTS WILL TRY HER
POOR SOUL.

WASHINGTON, September 17.-The
friends of Mrs Mckinley are seriously
alarmed about her They speak with
grave apprehension OF the days that
are soon to come when she will be
borne up no longer by her sense of
duty and the sustaining force OF her
desire TO perform her full part in the
ceremonies that the national character
and tragic end of her distinguish ed
husband make appropriate. They
dread the approaching days in the
quiet in her home at Canton when her
beloved Major" will not be near to
comfort her in the reaction that will
follow inevitably after the present
shock 1t is believed that she will be
abe to go through the services at Can
ton with out too great difficulty, but
subsequently collapse is greatly fear
ed. At present her condition justifies
the hope that there will be no break
down. at least until the final offices
have been paid TO the dead. This even
ing Mrs. Mckinley is considerably

MRS. M'KINLEY'S FRIENDS
FEAR FOR THE FUTURE.

weaker than when at Buffalo, but con-
tinues to bear up with great fortitude.
This afternoon she gave vent to her
grief more freely than at any time
since the tragedy. She sobbed and
crled for long time. and these par
oXysms of grier sapped her strength to
quite a degree.
Still as stated, there is no
present sign of collapse. DR..
Rixey was with his patient
several times during the day, and spent
quite little while with her late in the
afternoon, remaining until nearly six
O'Clock. After this last cal he said that
he was fairly confident of Mrs. McKin-
ley's ability to take par in the services
at Canton. She has had long and
severe shock, however, and in order that
she may become gradually accust omed
to the change wrought in her lifa by
the sad death of the President. it is
probable that Secretary Cortelyou and
DR.. Rixey will remain in Canton for
some little time to soothe and comfort
the widow in the grief and terror that
must come when in her old home she
gradually realizes in its full degree that
her main support and comfort in life
has been taken away Among those
who called at the White House during
the afternoon and spent a short time
with Mrs. Mckinley, were Mrs Roosg-
welt, Mrs. Carrot A Hobart and Mrs.
John A. Logan.

NOTABLE ARRIVALS.

Just at ten O'Clock Admiral Dewey
made his appearance, accompanied by
General Otis, Gen. Davis and Gen. Rug
giles. He glanced over the scene within
and then took up his station at the
eastern en- rance where he was joined
by the other members Of the guard Of
honor
Mrs. Hobart, with her son, and Mrs.
Russell A. Alger, escorted by Col.
Hecller also entered during this time
of waiting. The clergymen and the
choir, tie latter from the Metropolitan
~. h. Church, which Mr.. Mckinley at
tended, filed in and were seated at the
head of the catafalque. At twenty
minutes to Ii O'Clock the cabinet en-
tered and were seated to the south of
the platform, and then to the strains
of Nearer, My God, to 1nec,& by the
marine band outside, the casket was
borne into the rotunda. General Gil
lespie and Col. Bingham led the way
and every one arose. The guard of
honor on either side separated and the
casket was placed gently upon the

HE WILL NOT DIE.

His high qualities drew to him the
good will of his associates in political
life in an eminent degree They believed
in him, felt his kindness, confided in
his honesty and in his honor. His
qualities even associated with him in
kindly relations those who were his
political opponents.
His qualities gave him reputation,
not in this land alone, but throughout
the world, and made it possible for
him to minister in the style in when
he has within the last two or three
years ministered to the welfare and
peace of human kind.
And will such a man die? Is it pos
sible that ne who created. redeemed
transformed. uphfted and illunined
such a man will permit him to fall into
oblivion?
If there is a personal Immortality
before him let us also rejoice that
there is an Immortality and memory
in the hearts of a large and ever grow
ing people who through the ages to
come, the gene ions that are yet to
be. will look back upon this life, upon
its nobility and purity and service to
humanity and thank God for it. The
years draw on when bis name shall be
counted among the illustrious of the
earth. William of Orange IS not dead.
Cromwell is not dead. Washington lives
in the hearts and lives Of his country
men Lincoln, with his infinite sor-
row. lives to teach us and lead us on.
And Mckinley shall summon all states
saen and all his countrymen to purer
living, nobler aims, sweeter faith and
immortal blessedness.

would serve throughout his term, For,
he said, he rendered the appointments
as if he had just been elected TO the
presidency and was forming an orig
inal cabinet. The President said, how
ever, there was one difference between
the present tender and that OF an orig
inal offer, namely. under the present
circumstances, they were not at liberty
to decline. Upon being asked by a
member If designations should be for
mally presented in the usual manner,
the President answered that his &C.
ton at this meeting had precluded the
necessity of presenting designations.
The discussion turned upon the pol
icy OF the administration, and Mr..
Roosevelt announced that he regarded
the speech OF the late President at Buff
falo Pan-American Exposition the day
previous to the tragic shooting, as out
lining the policies to be followed by
the administration. 1t cannot be learn
ed at this time whether or not all the
members will be willing to serve the
full term.
The cabinet members, with the ex-
ception of Secretaries Hay and Long
will accompany the remains of the dead
President to Canton to participate in
the funeral ceremonies on Thursday.
Secretaries Hay and Long remain in
Washington at the Presidents request,
Mr.. Roosevelt thinking that some mem
bers of the cabinet should continue in
Washington.
Besides holding the cabinet meeting
President Roosevelt saw few callers
during the afternoon. At 7:30 o'clock
he and Captain Cowes left the latters
residence for the Pennsylvania railroad
station to take the train to Canton.
Mrs. Roosevelt will leave here at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning for Oyster
Bay, Long Island.

stop to the vice and immortality exist

day the citizens were surprised to see

Canton is ready for the last home
coming of William Mckinley.
In other days she has welcomed him
with cheers with saying banners and
triumphal marches.
Tomorrow she will receive him in
silence, with streets hung with solemn
black and with the waiting notes Of
direes. All day long hundreds of men
and women have labered in their task
to arrange the decorations on the pub

AN INcORRUPTIBLE MAN.

Such influences gave to us Villain
Mckinley. And what was he? A man
OF incorruptible personal and political
integrity | suppose no one ever at
tempted to approach him in the way of
a bribe; and we remember, with great
felicitation at this time for such an
example to ourselves. that when great
financial difficulties and perils encom-
passed him he determined to deliver
all he possessed to his creditors; chat
there should be no challenge of bis
perfect honesty in the matter. A man
o. immaculate purity, shall we say?
No stain was upon his escutcheon; no
syllable of suspicion that | ever heard
was whispered against his character
He walked in perfect and noble self
control.
And he was a man who believed in
right who had a profound conviction
that the courses of this world must be
ordered in accordance with everlasting
righteousness, or this worlds highest
point of good Will never be reached,
that no nation can expect success in
life except as it conforms to the eternal
laws of the infinite Lord and pass Itself
in individual and collective activity ac-
cording to that divine will.
