As soon as Secretary Cortelyou
returned to the house, after making
ar official statement of the Presi-
dents death. the visitors began to
leave. Secretary Wilson and Secre-
tary Hitchcock came down the walk
arm in arm to their carriages. No
man stopped them, and hats we're
silently lifted as they went by. Others
of the party followed Immediately.

BEGINNING OF Final Collapse.
! The beginning of the final collapse
OF the President occurred yesterday
afternoon a little after S O'Clock.
Every one had known all day, and,
IN fact, since 8 o'clock Friday morn
ing, that the President was critically
III. During Friday, however, his
physicians had professed to believe
that the case was not hopeless, and
they worked with might and main to
keep him alive. With the declining

him. The administration of power
full stimulants was maintained until
7 o'clock, but with no effect. 1t was
seen that the end was near at hand
and those nearest and dearest to the
stricken President were summoned
for the offices of the last farewell.
He came out of a stupor about 7
o'clock, and while his mind was par
TALLY clear there occurred the last
endearments, the last submission of
the sufferer to the will of the AL
mighty, the last murmured express
sions from his dying lips and the
last good-byes.
In this interval of consciousness
Mrs. Mckinley was brought into the
death chamber. The President had
asked to see her. She came and sat
beside him, held his hand, and heard
from him his last words of encour-
agement and comfort. Then she was
led away and not again during his
living hours did she see him.
Nearer, MY God, to Thee.
The President himself fully real
lied that his hour had come and his
mind turned to his maker. He whis-
pered feebly, Nearer, My God, to
Thee" the words of the hymn al
ways dear to his heart. Then, in
faint accents he murmured: Good
bye, all; goodbye. 1t is Gods way.
His will be done, not ours"
With!this sublime display of Chris
tian fortitude the President soon af-
ter lapsed into unconsciousness.
The minutes were now flying and
it was 2:I5 o'clock. Silent and mo-
tionless the circle of loving friends
stood about the bedside.
Tie President Was Dead.
DR.. Rixey leaned forward and
placed his ear close to the breast of
the expiring President. Then he
Strengthened up and made an effort
to speak.
'The President is dead" he said.
The President had passed away
peacefully, without the convulsive
struggle of death. 1t was as though
he had fallen asleep. AS they gazed
on the face of the martyred President
only the sobs Of the mourners broke
the silence of this chamber of death.
Mr.. Cortelyou had been one of the
first to rouse himself after the stun
ming effect of the announcement of
the death. He passed from the room
and down the stairway.
There, in the large drawing room,
were still assembled the members of
the cabinet, officials high in the adj
ministration and in the confidence of
the President. As he appeared at
the threshold Of the room they seem
ed to realize that the message Of
death had come. Mr.. Cortelyou
halted at the door, and, summoning
up all Of his effort, saids

riage. Then the ladies of the family,
who were rooming in neighboring
houses, came out, the crowd with
drawing by instructive sympathy and
not to intrude upon their grief. With
in ten minutes the lights in Mii5urn
house were out, except the one III
Secretary Cortelyou's Office, where
that official was giving his attention
to the necessary details of the next
few hours.
Cabinet Meets mt Buffalo.
When the cabinet met in Milburn
house this morning they were con-
fronted with the fact that the admin
istration of the government of the
United States had changed.
1t was difficult for them to realize
that William Mckinley was not the
President of the republic. 1t is not
an exaggeration to state that the cab
met are simply stunned by this blow
and cannot yet realize it. Their meet
ing this morning will be without
head. When next they assemble it
will not be VIM. Mckinley who will
preside. The kindly face that beam
ed upon them with affection will be
missing, and the gentle voice that
greeted them with cheerfulness will
be stilled. Perhaps then a fuller
realization of the tragic situation may
come to them. but now they are go
ing ahead almost dazed with plans
for the perpetuation of the govern
ment and the administration without
interregnum.
Messrs. Wilson, Long, Root,
Hitchcock, Smith and Knox COM
prised the members of the cabinet
who assembled in Milburn house to-
day.
Denominations of Grief.
have never seen such universal
demonstrations of public grief, of
sincere, honest grief as | have wit
messed since yesterday afternoon.
It Is common sight to see men
standing in the streets reading the
accounts of the last hours of the
President with tears running down
their cheeks, and no one takes 1t un-
manly. AT the bulletin boards last
night fully 10000 people were
packed, and when some of the pa
thetic scenes were described In the
bulletins. the crying and sobbing
was plainly audible.
The Assassin Denounced.
But there was an ominous feature
in these great crowds. Above the
tremule of sorrow there arose clear
tone of anger and denunciation of
the assassin. a terrifying note when
its significance was understood.
Today the city is being draped with
mourning, and the decorations in
honor of the exposition are rapidly
giving way to the somber drapings
for the distinguished dead. The ex-
position has closed until Monday.

mutton of the Presidents vitality,
which caused the doctors to see that
the end was near, and that, though
it might be put off for few hours,
il was inevitable. 1t was then that
the bulletins were given to the press
conveying to the public the first init
nation that the President would
surely die.
All members of the family, intimate
friends and higher officials of the
government in Buffalo were sum-
moned to the Milburn house. Sena
tor Hanna, Senator Burroughs, Sen
ator Fairbanks, Controller Dawes
and Secretaries Root, Wilson and
Hitchcock were among those who
responded Immediately to the call.
Later in the evening Secretary Long
and Attorney General Knox reached
the city and Immediately visited the
Milburn house.
Gathered I'm Sitting Room.
This party gathered in the large
sitting room on the first floor, where
they remained until the end came.
As the night dragged on some OF
them would come out for an airing
and would bring news Of the Presi-
dents condition For the first two
hours after dark the statements we're:
The case is hopeless"
A little later the word that the
President was dying was officially
sent out by Secretary Cortelyou.
Just before midnight the clatter OF
horses hoofs on a dead run an
ncunced the arrival of some person
of Importance. Up the walk hur-
ried slender, gray-haired man, who
passed through the group Of news
paper correspondents with head
bowed. This was DR.. McBurney.
Just thirty hours before he had
passed down that same walk, his face
beaming with delight, and had talked
for fifteen minutes about the Presi--
dents assured recovery. So certain
had he been that conditions were
safe that he had left the patient and
gone back to Pittsfeld, Mass.
This return of DR.. McBurney en-
piiasized more than anything else the
frightful contrast in conditions that
this brief space of time had brought.
DR.. McBurney went Immediately to
the patient, but could do no good.
DIR. ]aneway, who arrived little
later from New York, also found his
services useless.
Suspense to the Watchers.
In the two hours following mid
night there was an end of the sus-
pense to the watchers and they were
marked by resignation The worst
was at hand and the little COMPANY
in the Milburn house were simply
Evening star., 1901-09-14
Gentlemen, the President has

passed away
Realizing, too, the momentous ma
ture of the event to the people OF the
country, Mr.. Cortelyou stepped
through the outer doorway of the
Milburn house, and, advancing down
the walk toward the newspaper men
at the front gate, calmly announced :
"The President died at 2:I5
o'clock"
Close of n Notable Life.
Thus closed the final chapter in the
life of William Mckinley. All that
remained was to perform those grue-
some offices which follow death.
There was the sending of the official
notices, the summoning of the f,ne-
raj directors, the first hasty thoughts
of the details of burial. Within half
an hour carriage had brought those
who were to take charge of the body.
The autopsy, which had been decided
upon for the early forenoon, render
ed impossible the immediate en-
balming process. The corpse, laid
upon a stretcher and covered by a
sheet, remained in the chamber
where death had occurred. A uni
formed guard of the United States
army hospital corps was detailed for
duty at the temporary bier.
At 3 80 o'clock the long crepe en-
blem of mourning was hung from the
door of the house 1t was of heavy
material, of amplest width, caught
together with wide black ribbon.
AS to the funeral arrangements but
little could be determined during the
early hours of the morning. A meet
ing of the cabinet had been summon
ed to adjust the necessary prelimina-
ries of the obsequies. In their hasty
exchanges of last midnight the men,
bers of the cabinet had expressed the
belief that the body of the dead Pres
ident would be borne to Washington,
there to lie in state in the rotunda of
the Capitol, and later to be removed
to Canton for final interment.
Anxious for Mr.. RooseveIt's Arrival.
The arrival of the new President,
Theodore Roosevelt, is awaited with
anxious interest. Numerous tele-
grams had been dispatched to him
along his. route, but it was not
known here whether or not they had
been received. Mr.. Roosevelt was
expected to reach Buffalo about 1
pm. today. When he would take
the oath of office had not been COM
municated by him SO far as could be
learned. 1t was the belief that he
would take the oath after his arrival
here. Under the Constitution he is
now President of the United States.
and the taking of the oath IS merely.
a preliminary requisite to beginning

was for Mrs. Mckinley. Every
body's sympathy was deepest for her,
and there was general demand for
news. Surgeon Wasdin of the ma
rine hospital service said at 10
o'clock that Mrs. Mckinley was
getting along very well, and that
there was no indication of serious
results of the great blow she has suf-
fered.
Early Morning Callers.
Senator Hanna came to Milburn
house early this morning and is con-
ferring with the cabinet about the
details of the trip back to Washing
ton. Senators Depew and Fairbanks
and Judge Day are ALSO in the house.
Senator Hanna is bearing up very
we'll, although. the shock was dread
full to him. He is quite fatigued,
however. Secretary :Cortelyou is
also keeping UP. lis case of
necessity with him, for he is fairly
overwhelmed with work.
Messages of coincidence are COM
ing in by basketfuls. It's impossible
to read them, and they are being
sorted and laid aside.
A government telegraph station is
erected on a corner near the Milburn
lot, and is under military guard.
