"EARTH TO EARTH, ASHES TO ASHES
President William Mckinley Committed tC
the Tomb.

Canton, Ohio, September l0.-With
majestic solemnity, surrounded by his
conntlymcn and his townspcoplc, in the
presence of the President OF tho United
States, the Cabinet, Justices of the
United States Supreme Court, Senators
and Representatives in Congress-, the
heads OF the military and naval establish
mcntS, the Governors of States and a
great concOnrsc of people, who had known
and loved him, all that is mortal to the
third President to fall by an assassins
bullet was committed to the grave to-day.
1t was a spectacle Of mournful grandeur.
Canton ceased to be town and swcllcd
to the proportions of n great city. From
every city and hamlet in Ohio, from the
remote corners of the South and from
the East and West the human tide flowed
into the town until 100000 people were
within its gates, here to pay their last
tribute to the fallen Chief.
The final scenes at the First Methodist
Church, where the funeral service was
held, and at the beautiful West Lawn
Cemetery, whore the body was consigned
to vault, were simple and impressive
The service at the church consisted Of
brief Grafton, prayers by tho ministers
OF three denominations, and singing by n
quartcttc. The body was then taken to
cciving vault, pending tho time when it
will hc finally laid to rest beside the dead
children, who were buried years ago.
Tho funeral procession was very impos-
ing, and included not only the roprcscn-
tativcs of the army and navy of the
United States, but the entire military
strength OF the State of Ohio and hun
drcds of civic, fratcrnal and other organ-
zations. 1t was two miles long.

tor, and n contemporary with Rov. Mr.
Perryman, a noted Baptist divine, whose
same territory. 1t is related that on one
occasion Mr.. Dannclly had been absent
on a preaching expedition, and on his
return Mr.. Pcrryman said to him:
VI got some of your sheep into my fold
while you were away"
"Ah, no." said Mr.. Dannclly, "you got
some of my hogs"
'IIow do you mako that outP"
"By tho Bible," said Mr.. Dannolly
'the Scripture tells us that whom the
devil got into tho hogs they straightway
went down into tho water"
This ended tho discussion.

men guilty of atrocities as necessary to

is in some doubt but perhaps is now un-

The action of Russia, it is believed in
Pekin. is intended to hasten the signing
of the convention with China concerning
possession of Manchuria. and is likely to
secure that end once again Russia poses
as the best friend of the Chinese and

4 New British Treaty.

According to White House and State
Department gossip. the President intends
shortly to reopen negotiations with Great
Britain looking to the abrogation of the
Clayton-Bulwer Convention of 1850 Why
he should take this trouble is not easy to
understand especially since the whole
point in his Administrations policy to re-
vive that dead and buried agreement was
to re-enforce the British Government in its
opposition TO the Nicaragua Canal.
In official circles IT is said that the first
step may be to address a note TO the Brit
ish Foreign Office. setting forth our rea-
sons for considering the Clayton Bulwer
Convention null and void. and asking for
its formal annullment. But it is admitted
that were Mr.. Mckinley to do this he
would be certain of a declination, except
upon terms which the United States could
not grant Great Britain wants Pyramid
Harbor and anything else in Alaska. in
addition TO the Porcupine district, which
she has already. that this country can be
cajoled or browbeaten into conceding.
Friends of the Administration declare
that the President is firmly determined
not TO surrender another foot of American
soil to the British Crown. and perhaps he
may have some such feeling But IT is
impossible to forget that the influences
which induced him to consent to the Hay
Tower modus vivendi might work him sue
cessfully again. In any event, he is pre-
pairing TO reopen the treaty question with
greater prudence than his Secretary Of
State displayed in negotiating the Hay
Pauncefote failure without allowing the
fact to reach the ears Of any member of
the Foreign Relations Committee of either
House of Congress. Mr.. Mckinley is act
ing very differently. He is sounding the
Senatorial opponents of the late and I'M
lamented Hay-Pauncefote Treaty TO see
If he can find way to formulate some
sort of convention which both the Senate
and Downing Street would be willing to
accept. This plan is undoubtedly an i'm
provement on that of Mr. Hay. and the
only objection we have to it is that it is
time wasted to revive debate over a thing
as dead and turned to dust as the Clay
ton-Bulwer Convention. The manly.
American course to pursue would be to
acknowledge Great Britain's rejection Of
the Hay-PauncefOte Treaty sans phrase
and then to ignore the matter entirely I'M
til next December when he might prom
erly. in his next annual message recon-
mend Congress to pass an act formally
denonncing and abrogating the crime Of

SENATOR PLATT'S MISSION.
To Confer with Mr.. Mckinley Con
corning the Sanger Appointment.

Senator Plat arrived in Washington
from New York City last night for the
purpose of having conference with The
President regarding the proposed appoint
ment of Col. William Cary Sanger to sue
coed George D. Meiklejohn as Assistant
Secretary of War. He went at once to
his apartments in the Arlington and de,
clined to be interviewed.
In company with Senator Depew he will
see the President today for the purpose of
settling the Sanger controversy The
President has decided that he Will appoint
Colonel Sanger, but has asked the New
York Senators to a conference in order
that there may be a distinct understand
ing in the matter when the nomination
comes up in the Senate for confirmation
While Senator Plat has declared that
he has not withdrawn his opposition To
Colonel Sanger ii is believed that rather
than break with the President uDon this
matter. as he did with President Garfield
over appointments twenty years ago. he
will accede to the Presidents wishes
Ihere are number OF local appointments
which the New York Senators desire ia
have made, and the impression prevails
that compromise will be effected al
though it will no doubt be somewhat dis
tasteful to Senator Platt.
The President is firm in his determine
tion to appoint Colonel Sanger at the re-
quest of Secretary Root and there is no
Likelihood of his yielding. In fact he
has the upper hand in the matter. as 1t Ia
said that there are not sufficient Senators
who would be willing To undertake the
responsibility of rejecting the nomina-
continue their opposition to Colonel San
ger
