 Canton, O., Sept 19.-With majestic
 solemnity, surrounded by his country
 men and his townspeople, in the pres
 ence of the president of the United
 States, the cabinet, justices of the su-
 preme court, senators and representa-
 tives in congress, the heads of the mili-
 tary and naval establishments, gover- nors of states and a great concourse of people who had known and loved him, all that is mortal of the dead president to fall by an assassin's bulelt was com mitted to the grave. It was specta- cle of mournful grandeur. From every city and hamlet in Ohio, from the re- mote corner 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.
 a.a-l ist church, where the funeral services was held, and at the beautiful Vest lawn cemetery, where the body was consigned to vault, were simple and impressive.
 The service at the church consisted of brief oration, prayers by the min tsters of three denominations and sing ing by quartette. The body was then taken to Westlawn cemetery and placed in receiving vault pending the time when it will be finally laid to rest be- side the children who were buried years ago.
 The funeral procession was very i'm posing and included not only represent atives of the army and navy service of the United States but the entire mili- tary strength of the state of Ohio and hundreds of civic, fraternal and other organizations. It wss two miles in length.
 One of the most pathetic features of the day was the absence of Mrs. Mo Kinley from the funeral services at the church and from the cemetery. Since the first shock of the shooting, then of death, and through the ordeal of state -Y.o I,ol l,@
 But morning found her too weak to pass through the trials of the final ceremonies. Through the open door of her room she heard the prayer of the minister as the body was borne out of the house. After that Dr. Rixey re- mained close by her side and although the full force of the calamity had come upon her 1t was believed by those about her that there was providential mer- cy in her tears, as they gave some re- lief to the anguish of the heart within.
 At o'clock tonight President Roose- welt and the members of the cabinet started back to Washington.
 Details of tho Funeral.
 As the time approached for bearing the body from the Mckinley home to the church, the little cottage on North Market street was the center of a vast concourse of people. Regiment after regiment of soldiers, acting as guards, were in triple lines from curb to the lawn The walks had been cleared and the multitude took refuge on the great sweep of lawns where they formed a solid mass of humanity surging for ward to the lines of soldiers. In front of the Mckinley cottage were drawn I'D the ebodybearers-eight sailors of the navy and eight soldiers of the army awaiting the order to go within and take up the casket.
 Just at i o'clock the black chargers of the Cleveland troup swept down the street, their riders four abreast, in their brilliant hussar uniforms with flags bound in crepe and every sabre hilt bearing his f1uttering emblem of | mourning. Their coming was the sig l nal for the approach of President | Roosevelt and the members of the cab | lnet. The presidential party moved up | the walk to the entrance of the house | and formed a group to the left.
