The sword. which has had so long
and so distinguished military record.
has been placed on the retired list.
British army authorities have decided
that in the future unmounted officers
shall carry carbines instead of swords
during manoeuvers and in active serv-
ice. The decision is the result of ex.
perience gained in the war in South
Africa. The sword is not only use
less as weapon, except in close
quarters, but it serves as mark to
distinguish the officer from his men.
He thus becomes target for the en-
emy's sharpshooters, and when the
private soldiers have small power of
initiative, as is the case in most Euro
pean armies, the loss OF large num-
Der Of officers may mean disaster. The
passing of the sword is one of the
signs Of the changed conditions of
war.

The Struggle with Death.
The Presidents turn for the worse
came at O'Clock on Friday morning,
and it was almost exactly lwenty-four
hours later before the last flicker of
life had died away. 1t was the heart
which failed early in the morning fol-
lowing upon the partial collapse on
Thursday night, and all through the
terrible day into the night the heart of
the good President belt with irregular
throbs which told of the inevitable
end.
Mrs. Mckinley Informed.
Mrs. Mckinley was warned that 1t
was only question Of minutes before
the end came. but as these minutes
drifted into hours her strength failed
completely and she was forced to re-
tire, under the commands of the physi-
clans, who alone could tell whether
life was extinct or not.
Final Deathbed Scene.
The result was that when the end
really came. at 2:15 o'clock in the
gray, foggy morning. those present in
the death chamber were only Miss Hell
en- Mckinley. Mrs. Duncan, Abner Nc
Kinley, James Mckinley, John Barber,
and DR.. Rixey. The other physicians
had left the room when it was decided
that human skill could not save the
President.
Sad News Given to Public.
Secretary Cortelyou came out of the
Milburn house about 2:2O a. m, and
in a voice that trembled with emotion
announced:
"The President died at 2:15."
He then gave the names of the fam
| lily and friends present at the bedside
when the end came and returned to
! the house.
Immediately thereafter the party
! that had been assembled in the house
during the night broke up. coming
down the walk singly and in pairs.
Men Weep as They Leave.
Everybody was deeply affected. Sew
eral of the men were sobbing aloud
as they passed on their way to their
carriages.
Secretary Wilson says that the party
will go first to Washington, where the
body will lie in state in the Capitol,
but interment will be in Canton, O.
The details OF the Presidents funeral
will be in charge of the Secretary of
State. Through him notices and in
vitations to distinguished foreign rep
resentatives will be extended.
Congress May Attend Funeral.
The wishes Of the members of the
Presidents family will be observed
and the character Of the services will
depend entirely on them. Congress
will attend in body, II the services
are held at the national capital, but
II they are performed at Canton this
arrangement may be changed.
The House is not organized, and the
oath has not been administered to the
members elect. but they will be in
charge of the serseant-at-Arms Of the

Death Caused by Heart Trouble.
The President heart gave trouble
from the beginning, but its erratic ac-
tion was at first thought to be due to
the shock Of the wound, but when the
would had begun to progress favorably
the heart gave more trouble and anxi-
ETY. than ever. Its action became feeble
and finally gave out altogether.
The Presidents death was due to
heart exhaustion. but some of the
physicians do not believe there was
organic heart trouble. The theory of
at least one OF the physicians is that
the original shock Of the first bullet
over the heart had much to do with
the trouble which caused death.
A noticeable theme Of comment was
occasioned by the hour at which the
death occurred. 1t partook somewhat
of the providential that the event
should have come in the dead of
night instead of the early evening.
when the thousands who gathered on
the streets of the city were in no ten

would have had to cope with more or

During the early part of the evening
crowds began to gather about the sta

when Senator Spooner expressed the
opinion that the time had not yet come
for Congress to legislate for the Philip
pines. Senator Teller asked: when
will we be ready to legislate?" Senator
Spooner replied: "The Senator can an
swer that question as easily as be can
ask it. do not undertake to say when
we shall be ready to legislate for the
Philippines, l do not think Wa shall
be ready until we have sent joint

we do that?" Senator Spooner-"I hope
that we will provide Tor such COM
mittee before this session comes to an
end. l have undertaken, myself, to
frame resolution providing for such a

Spooner's remarks lie in their having
made it plain that the majority in the

for this session. This is in line with

claring against Philippine legislation at
