BERLIN, Sept. 14.-NewspaDer extras
containing the news CT the death of Pres
ident Mckinley were eagerly purchased
this morning by the people, who were
much toUcaed by the cable dispatches ttIl-
ing Of the pathetic departure of Airs. Nc
Kinley from her husbands presence, of
the last words of the dying man, and of
his peaceful end
The correspondent of the Associated
Press took the news TO the United Gates
ambassador, Mr. White. who was very
much affected. Mr.. White said:
Undoubtedly President Mckinley Will
pass into the history Of the United States
as one of the great presidents. None of
his predecessors had shown so broad and
thorough a knowledge of the main ques-
tons relating TO our industry and COM
merce. On all subjects in these fields he
showed not merely talent, but genius, the
highest evidence of which was given in
his speech at Buffalo before his death.
Having done more than any other man
to build up our great industries. he
showed how new markets could be found
and industries be made more effective IN
multiplying commercial relations with
other powers. During his lifetime, in the
heat OF partisan strife, he was charged
with devotedness to the interests of cap
itaL But viewed hereafter By the his
torian, it viii appear that his care for
the interests of capital was the result of
devotion to labor and the interests OF the
plain people, from whom he sprang. He
knew that the interests of labor and cap
ital cannot be disassociated. Never did
president plan more wisely or toll more
earnestly for the laborer."
The foreign Office was not informed Of
the death when the correspondent called
there, but an official dispatch on the sub
ject was received later. Although the
death Of the president was not unex-
pected, the news of his passing away was
received in government circles with the

pathy was expressed for the friendly gov
ernment at Washington and the Ameri-
can people in their national affection.

on Won Bichthofen, the foreign secretary,
the warmest sympathy and condolence
with the United States. The news as
