President Mckinley died at 2:i5

He had been unconscious since T:l5

His last conscious hour on earth was

voted a lifetime of care. He died unat-

his last words were a humble submis-

believed. lie was ~reconcilcd to the
cruel fate to which an assassin.s bullet
had condemned him. and faced death
in the same spirit and calmness and
poise which has marked his long and
honorable career. His last conscious
words, reduced to writing by DR..
Mann. who stood at his bedside when
they We're uttered, were as follows:
Good bye, ali; good bye: it is Gods
way. His will he done
Then his mind began to wander and
soon he completely lost consciousness.

the pulse could no longer be felt in his
cNtremities and they grew cold.
Down stairs, with strained and tear.
stained faces, members of the cabinet
were grouped in anxious waiting.
They knew the end was near and that

Friends of the late William A. New.

recalled an old story in which he fig
ures as the rock upon which the Pres.
idential hopes of James G.. Blaine
were wrecked in 1876. The ex-Gover.

various aspirants was In progress. the
news came that Mr.. Blaine had been
stricken with what was variously de.
scribed as apoplexy and sunstroke

by tho two or three Jersey delegates
who favored Mr.. Conkling, and these
hearing that DIR. Newell had expressed
a fear that the effects Of such o
stroke as Mr.. Blaine had suffered

Within three hours from the time OF
converting the Schley court of inquiry
at Washington 1t was announced that
Rear Admiral Howison was dis
qualified from serving as n member of
the court, and was excused from fur
ther duty. This brought the proceed
ings to an abrupt termination, and
caused a temporary adjournment of the
u in order to permit the navy de-
partment TO designate an officer 10
succeed Admiral Howison. No further
session Is probable until the first of
next week. 1t had been expected that
little official business would be accom-
plished OH the opening day, and the
prompt decision us to Admiral Howisop
came somewhat as n surprise.
(. Prior to the courts con venting u
good-sized crowd assembled at the
Washington navy yard, where the
court meets, to witness the coming of
the prominent naval officers who were
to take part in the proceedings. They
came uniformed and unhcralded and
until the full dress uniforms had been
donned at quarters inside the yard,
for the actual sessions of the court,
there was little to lend dramatic in

ABOUT PARK IMPROVEMENT
SENATOR MCMILLAN ENTERTAINS
THE COMMISSIONERS.
ST. Gaudens Has Been Called I'm Con-
sultatiOn-Slight Changes In
the Mall.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.


MANCHESTER, Mass, August q, 1901.
Taking advantage of the presence of Mr..
Burnham and Mr.. McKfm in Boston, Sem
ator Mcmillan entertained the members Of
the park commission at his summer home
at Manchester on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Mr.. Olmsted lives in BroOkline, Boston
suburb, and Mr.. Moore has a summer
home on Cape Cod. Since their return
from Europe Mr.. Burnham and Mr.. Ohm
sted have spent several days in Washing
ton on the plans in progress there, and
Mr.. Mckim has begun work in New York
on those portions of the plans that are
under his immediate charge. Mr.. st. eau
dens, whose cooperation and advice the
commission has secured, has been in con-
sultation with Mr.. McKim.
1t was hoped that Senator Gallinger
would be able to be present at the meeting,
but old home week in New Hampshire
kept him at home.
ton at 12:4O Tuesday and reached Man
chester in time for luncheon. The after
noon was spent on Senator McMillans
broad veranda looking over the sea, and
there the progress of the work was gone
over and the preliminary plans were ex-
amined. Mr.. Mcmillan has kept informed
of the general ideas of the commission,
and all questions of policy have been sub
mltted TO MIN from time TO time, SO tnat
he is in full sympathy with the ideas of
the commission
The object has been to draw up such
plans as will be thoroughly practicable in
providing for the future development Of
the District, and to make as few changes
as possible in existing conditions, 1t is
believed that in the mall the changes can
be reduced to the transplanting and re-
arrangement of some of the trees
and that beyond this the work will
be development Of the park spaces now
awaiting improvement.
While the discussion was in progress
Senator Allison arrived to spend some time
with Mr.. Mcmillan, and he was made &C.
quainted with the general outline Of the
work proposed.
1t is not expected that plans that are SO
comprehensive and that involve the i'm
provement of all parts of the District can
be carried out at once; but it is expected
that a plan can be presented that can be
adopted by Congress, and that fast as
appropriations can be secured these plans
will be worked out In this way har-
mOniOus development of the District will
be secured. Should this be the outcome
the commission believes that no capital city
in the world will surpass Washington, be-
cause in other are the natural ad-
vantages great as they are in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
After dining at Eagle Head the men,
bers Of the commission left on a late train
for Boston.

Railway Companies Sued.

Samuel NJ Whedbee today filed suit
against the Metropolitan and Washington
and Great Falls Electric Railway Com
panies before Justice of the Peace Callan
to recover $500 for alleged assault In CON-
sequence of the plaintiff being elected from
a car coming from Cabin John Bridge, the
supposed cause being the refusal of the
plaintiff to pay his car fare.
Robert H. Mason today also entered suit
against the Metropolitan Railroad Com
pany and the Washington and Great Falls
Electric Railway Company to recover $500
damages. Mr.. Mason alleges that he was
elected from car operated by the defen-
dant companies, he having offered for
transportation thereon Washington, Alex
andria and Mt. Vernon railway car ticket.
He was put to much inconvenience he
says, and therefore demands judgment be-
fore Justice of the Peace Callan.

The work of erecting the new workhouse
building begun last week under the
direction of Building Inspector Brady The
excavations for the foundation have been
made, and the cement work of the foun-
dations is being laid. The brick work will

The plan of erecting the new building Is
to complete one wing first For this pur-
pose an appropriation of $4,000 was made
at the last session of Congress. Two con-
tracts have been let, one for the cree

an incidental expense of 5000, there will
be left $4,000 with which work can be
begun on one of the other wings to the
building before the next appropriation for
it's completion Is made.
The new workhouse is to be COMPOSED
