BREAKING THE NEWS
 TO MRS. M'kINLEY

Mblburn House, Buffalo. September H. It Is definitely learned today that 1t was Mrs. Barber, Mrs McKinley's sister, the stricken wife. She went from the bedside of the dead President to the wife, whose condition was such as 1t seemed best not to remove her from the sick room before the end. Mrs. Mckinley is occupying a large south room In the Milburn house overlooking Delaware avenue and Ferry street. Through the drawn shades the early morning light was breaking when Mrs. Barber told her that the sleep into which the President had passed would know no awakening Mrs. Mckinley, whose extreme delicacy was for years the Presidents one great sorrow, received the news with unexpect- ed calmness and acquiesced in the re- quest of her physician and family to leave the details of the sad ceremonies which the entire nation Is to join entirely in the hands of the official and personal friends who are assembled. All day long she remained in hef room, stricken to the soul. but bravely bearing her sad bur- den, because she knows The Major" as she lovingly calls the late President. would bid her do so.
 pr. Rixey, who for years has guarded her from all excitement, and was in con stant attendance during her recent H. ness in San Francisco Is much encour- aged in the way she is bearing up at present. though it Is possible the strain of the next few hours may make it de- sirabie for Der to return with her sister to Canton to avoid the serious strain of a state funeral.

FLAGS AT HALF-MAsT.
Paris Joins In Mourning for the Dead
 President.

Paris, September 1.-The tri-color over the Elysee palace and other official edifices were flown at half-mast during the day. It Is understood that the gala perform ance at the theatre at Compegnie, fixed for the evening of September 20, has been canceled as a mark of respect.
 The Gaulois says:
 The death of President Mckinley will have a greater reverberation throughout Europe than had the disappearance of Garfield, Lincoln or Carnot He played bigger part on the worlds stage than any of his predecessors. Bolder than they, he threw the gauntlet to one of the na- tons of the old world and inaugurated at the expense of Spain a policy of ex- pansion and conquest. He installed him self in the Philippines and joined unin- vited In the European concert in China and finally took up a determined and very question. Now this great perturber of our quietude reposes in his tomb. Will his imperialism disappear with him? Logically MT. Roosevelt is heir to the views and ambitions of Mckinley, and hence nothing will be changed in the United States. So much the worse for Europe"
 The Figaro says the lesson to be drawn from McKinley's assassination Is that war must be declared against this mur- derous propaganda and that these anti social doctrines and all doctrines in any degree connected with them must be stffed.

.DIAZ SHOCKED ON
 HEARING THE NEWS
Says MT. Mckinley Was a Genuine Democrat in Every
 Sense of the Word

Mexico City. September H.-President Diaz. on being informed of the death of President Mckinley, expressed himself as follows:
 'T have been deeply shocked by this horrible crime, which has not even the excuse that the anarchist is persecuted in the United States. since, as is well known, freedom and tolerance are there extended to him. Nor has it the ex- cuse that President Mckinley was ruler of exclusive or aristocratic tendencies for he was by reason of his position as feelings, sympathies and habits, a good friend of the people, a genuine democrat in the best sense of the word, so that this crime was as useless and unprovoked as 1t is abomniable in every respect With regard to Mexico President Mo- Kinley had ever evidenced such friendly sentiments that his death will be mourn ed In this country hardly less keenly than In the United States; for myself 1t Is a loss of warm, personal friend These sentiments have expressed to the ambassador of the United States, Gen. Powell Clayton, on the two occasions on which l have personally called at the embassy. My deepest sympathy and con- dolence goes out to Mrs. Mckinley, and the family of the late President "On the other hand the high reputa- tion of President Roosevelt is a guaran- tee that there will be no change in any matter affecting the important interests of the United States or It's international relations

GOV. JELKS' PROCLAMATION

William Mckinley Is dead. He was President of these United States yester- day. This morning he lies a corpse in Buffalo, stricken there, as he was. in the act Of cordially grasping by the hand a cowardly anarchist assassin. It gives me pain, as Governor of this State, to make this announcement to our people. He was loved here as in Ohio, and hon ored hardly less among us than by the people among whom he had spent the fresher years of his life and those year of riper experience. We, in this state, marked the beauty of his character; we felt the assassin's bullet: our prayers, with which we hoped to reach the throne of grace, for some reason. inscrutable, but beneficent we know, came back to us unanswered. He is dead, my country men!
 William Mckinley took arms for the cause of the Union when only a lad. He offered his blood for the Union then, but came from the raging storm of bullets again and again untouched, to be strick- en now by despicable assassin. He served seven terms as a member of the House of Representatives at Washing ton, attaining the highest rank In that able body of men. He was the Spotless Governor of our sister state, Ohio, for four years, and yesterday President of the United States, the most beloved, perhaps, this country has ever known. The South not only had no fear of him but leaned upon his great strong arm and felt secure.
 He was an exemplar of our institutions, a strong and stalwart lover of truth and justice. He won and held the unbounded respect and love of his countrymen and had the confidence of all the people of the earth. He was, indeed, an ideal American.
 During the terrible hours which have followed the dastardly deed that felled him, the people of this State, and of the whole country, have eagerly listened for news from his bedside, and have offered their supplications that this great man might be spared this man who gave him self to his duty as the one true thing, whose public life in the glare of the noon- day was unflecked, and who in the gentler hours, the quiet, soft and tender hours, was the best, truest and bravest of husbands, son and brother.

Senator Hoar Greatly Affected.

Worcester. September 14.-senator Hoar was greatly affected by the death of the President. The following tribute was written by him for publication in tho Gazette:
 "Everything wakes this morning but the eyes for whose waking all mankind were praying Nobody can put in words the national sorrow.

But today Is given to pouring out the mighty love of the republic for the son best loved who so loved her and so well served her.
 Thank God there is no division in the people today. Rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, Protestant and Catholic, native born and foreign born are mingiing their sorrow. The cowardly blow that has stricken down one noble life and strength ened the life of the nation."
