alter the stability Of the government or
change the course of the administration.
This was considered necessary because
the Filipinos thought Bryan would sue

next highest number Of votes In the elcc-,
tpral college.
Flags were ordered to be at half-mast
for q month. while all employees OF the
civil government are to wear mourning
bands o n5their arms. Allsthe foreign COM
suls, wearing their uniforms. called at
th~eSresidence OF Gov. Taft to tender their
condolences. Gen. Chaffee has ordered
that every nicer and soldier in the archi-
pelaRo, whether in'the field, in camp. in
garrison or IN hospital be notified.

DEATH CAUSED DY GANGRENH.

Coroner Certihes ~ to the Cause Of
President McKinley's Death.
Buffalo. Sept. 16.-The coroner Of Erie
county yesterday issued the following
certificate OF death, Of the late presi-
dent:
"City Of Bufralo. Bureau Of Vital Sta.
t%istics. County Of Erie, State Of New
York. Certificate and Record Of Death
OF William McKlnley: 7 hereby certify
that he died on the 18th day Of septem-
ber, 1901, at 2:15 o'clock q. M, and to
the best of my knowledge and belief the
cause Of death was as underwriters:
Causc-Gangrene of both walls Of stom-
ach and pancreas following gunshot
wound" II.
No skill Of the surgeon could have
saved William Mckinley. TIe died not
:of p%eritonitis, nor Of hesrt trouble, but
manifestly Of gangrene.
The autcLsy, which VAS conducted by
surgeons different from those in at
tendance, and under the direct super
vision Of the district attorney, whose
photographer made the official notes.
showed clearly that the president was
marked for death from the first, and
no medical skill could have prevented
a fatal ending.
There was a distinct track Of gam
creme from the opening to the place
where the bullet finally lodged in he
muscles Of the abdomen. The two
holes in the wall Of the stomach were
found to have been closed up properly,
but the tissues around the stitches
themselves We're covered with gan
creme, showing that the bullet had left
a poisoned track along its entire path
tire ugh the body, duo TO the grease or
dirt, in all probability, which sur
rounded 1t.
The autopsy shows that the bullet
which caused death touched the upper
end of the kidneys, also Involving the
rancreas. and 1t is probable there
would nave been serious difficulty In
this regard later on.
There was No, sign of peritonitis, and
to this extent the diagnosis of the sur
geons was entirely correct. The prest-
Dent did not die from blood poisoning,
nor was the toast and coffee he was
given particularly fatal to tile suffering
patient.
The walls Of the heart were found ex-
ceedingly thin and the organ showed
the effect of the constant smoking to
which the president had been addicted
for SO many years. The heart action
was necessarily weak, but It was not
this which killed him any more than
peIitonitis.
