Mrs. Mckinley Was too Weak
to Attend the SOmber
Ceremonial.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE state funeral day
of the late President Mckinley opened as sombre as
the OCCASION
Ex-Presdent Cleveland was here to take part in
the ceremonies and like President Roosevelt paid his
tribute first in private the White House and later at
the public services in the rotunda of the Capitol
The King of Great Britain and Ireland had COM
missioned Gerard Lowther in charge of the British
embassy participate in the services as his personal
representative Captain Louis Bailey of the royal
navy represented the embassy.
The other embassies and legations likewise had
sent on their representatives
Mrs Mckinley arose earlier than usual She rest
ed quite we'll during the night and gave no sign Of
collapse.
Wire cables strung along the entire route OF
the march from the White House to the Capitol kept
the streets clear for the funeral procession.
Alto O'Clock a silent command was given and the
body bearers silently and reverenty raised to their
stawart shoulders the casket containing all that was
mortal Of the llustrious dead.
1t was thought better that Mrs. Mckinley should
not tax her vitality by attending the services at the
Capitol.
Slowly through fine drilling rain the solemn
cortege wound its way With grand solemn swing,
the artillery band began the Dead March in Saul,
and the procession moved on its way to the Capitol
The casket, in black carved hearse, was drawn
by six coal black horses, caparzoned in black net
with trailing tassels with stawat groom at the head
of each The procession occupied one hour and half
in passing given point
The funeral services at the Capitol were simple
and beautiful AS the casket borne into the ro-

came the diplomatic corps in full court regalia.
