HISTORY OF THE TRAGEDY.
Chronology of the Tragedy Which
Caused the Nation to Mourn.

AhhNth tht Nhttoh W
Friday, September 6-President Nc
kinney was shot by Leon Czolgosz
about four o'clock in the afternoon
in the temple of music at the Pan
American exposition, Buffalo, n. "
while receiving the people. The as
sassin approached, with his right
hand bandaged, and offered his left
to the president. The president
prasped it, and then it was that the
fatal shot was fired. The president
was conveyed to the emergency hos
pital on the exposition grounds.
There an operation was performed.
One bullet struck the b~reastbone, but
did not penetrate. The other bullet
entered the abdomen and penetrated
the stomach, but could not be found.
The abdominal wound was closed
without drainage. No injury to the
intestines or other abdominal organ
was discovered. At a late hour the
physicians issued a bulletin saying
that the president had rallied and
was resting comfortably.
Saturday, September THE presi-
dent passed a good day and rested
quietly.
Sunday, September s-The presi-
dents case was considered satisfac-
tory all day.
Monday, September 9-The presi-
dent seemed to be making steady
progress on the road to rapid recov'
cry.
Tuesday, September 10-Reports
from the presidents bedside were
very encouraging. 1t was found nee
essary, however, owing to a slight IT.

was we'll enough to take nourishmen
by the month in the form of pure
beef juice.
Wednesday, September 1.-THE
president doing well. Decided bene

wound. No symptoms of blood pois

I Thursday, September 12-The presi
dent took considerable nourishment
In the afternoon he complained o
fatigue. At $3.50 o'clock the presl
dents condition was not so good a
during the day. Food administers
did not agree with him and wa
stopped. His pulse was not satisfac
tory. At midnight his condition be
came critical.
Friday, September 13-The pres
dents condition rapidly grew worse
and toward evening it was seen tina
death was inevitable. He became un
conscious, and sank rapidly. At mic
night he was barely alive.
Saturday, September 14-The pres
dent died at 2:15 a. IN.

HAS STOOD THE STRAIN so FAR.
But Dread In Felt for the Time when
Mrs. Mckinley Returns Home.

Washington, Sept. 16.-Mrs. Mckii-
ley has stood the strain of the trying
ordeal following the death of the
president without breaking down, and
her physician, DR.. Rixey, is encour-
aged to believe that she will go
through the state ceremonial without
collapse. The half hour she spent be-
side the coffin on the train this morn
ing was followed by a period of de-
preston, but DR.. Rixey induced her
to sleep this afternoon. Now that
she has gone through with the trials
and fatigues of yesterday and today
those nearest to her feel there is ht-
tie serious danger of immediate cor
lapse. Their dread is for the future
when the nerve tension of the pres
emit ordeal is over and when the WIDOW
is back alone in the old house at Can
ton, with the food of reflection ana
realization that must come upon her.

With this sublime display of Chris
tan fortitude the president soon af-
ter lapsed into Inconsistencies.
The members of the cabinet, grief
stricken, were gathered in the large
drawing room of the Milburn house.
The time had come when they too
were to look upon the president for
the last time in life. They assembled
the stairway one after the other,
noiselessly approaching the threshold
of the chamber where the dying man
lay and gazed within. Those who
came first turned back appalled, and
overwhelmed, and did not pass with
in the chamber. Secretary Wilson re-
manned below, unwilling to have i'm
printed on his memory the picture of
his expiring chief. Secretary Long,
who arrived on a late train, went at
once to the chamber and passed di-
rectly to the bedside of the president,
grasping the hand hat was already
CLAIMED with approaching death.
hupseu thto
Meantime the president had lapsed
into a state of complete unconscious
ness, and it was only a question of
hours, perhaps minutes, when the end
would come. By ten o'clock there
was no perceptible pulse. The ex
tremities had grown cold and the
rigidity of death was fast falling up
on the sufferer. The physicians who
remained at his side detected only
the faintest heart beats. Some of
them knowing that all was over, de-
parted, while others remained not, be-
cause of respect for the expiring pres
idert.
President McKinley's death was en-
tirely painless. When the end finally
came DR.. RiXey, alone of the physi-
clans, was with him, but so gradual
vas the approach of death that it is
difficult to say the exact second he
breathed his last.
DR.. RiXey, standing by the bedside,
held the presidents hand, felt for the
pulse that was imperceptible. Bend
ing forward, he felt the presidents
heart and listened for the breath that
was not drawn, and then announced
the end.
