Canton, o., Sept. 20.-Never before
on this continent has such floral
display been seen at any public oc-
casion as that in Westlawn cemetery
yesterday afternoon. The vault was
lined with the rarest and costliest
flowers, a multitude of floral pieces
was spread on the ground before the
door of the vault, and for 100 feet to
the right and left of the doorway and
for half as many feet to the rear
OF line passing through the front
wall it was impossible to tread, so
thickly did the tributes lie.
Nearly every country on both hemi-
spheres was represented by an offer
ing. The number of those from the
United States was almost past count
ing. They came from every state in
the Union, and there is scarcely a man
in public life whose tribute of respect
for the virtues of VIM. Mckinley did
not lie beside his cofiined remains.
The inside of the vault was literal

the casket was carried into it, and
the outside walls were wellnigh hid
den beneath the profusion of flowers
hung upon them. Above the doorway
hung an enormous wreath of dark
green Calit leaves, and over the right
corner of the vault was similar
wreath, the leaves being deep red.
In corresponding position on the
other side was hung n wreath of ivy.
Standing short distance from the
vault to the south was a small cradle
covered entirely with white and pur-
pie asters. On its sides Were worked
in purple immortelles the word
miles" This was said to be the
cradle in which President Mckinley
had been rocked during his infancy
in Niles, o.. and special instructions
came with it that it should be guard
ed with great care and returned safe
ly to Niles, where il is to be pre-.
served.

sfcian Hopeful.

Canton. o., Sept. 1o.-The friends of
Mrs. Mckinley do not tonight regard
her as being upon the verge of col
lapse. On the contrary, they express
themselves as quite confident that she
will be spared to them, for a long
time, at least, in as good state OF
health as she has enjoyed for the
last five years. DR.. Hixey said late
this afternoon:
Mrs. Mckinley is bearing up az
well as could be expected under the
circumstances. She has been, and is
still, suffering intensely from her be-
reavcment, and has frequently given
way to sobs and tears. but, for all
that, she has been doing as well as
any woman could do under similar
circumstances. We have no immediate
expectations Of anything but favor
able conditions in her case"

THE SADDEST DAY Of AL.
The Final Public Tribute to the Re-
mains Of William Mckinley
at Canton.
The Services in the Heavily Drapea
Church simple, hut solemn ana
Impressive, Conducted by Clergy
men Of Various Denominations In
the City.

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
United States supreme court, senators
and representatives in congress, the
heads of the military and naval estab-
lishments, the governors Of states and
a great concourse of people who had
known and loved him. all that is NOR
tai of the third president to fall by
an assassin's bullet, was committed
10 the grave. 1t was spectacle OF
mournful grandeur.
Canton ceased to be town, and
swelled to the proportions of q great
city. From every city and hamlet in
Ohio, from the remote corners 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.
The final scenes at the First Meth
odist church, where the funeral serv-
ice was held, and at the beautiful
Westlawn cemetery, where the body
was consigned to a vault, were simple
and impressive.
The service at the church consisted
of brief Grafton, prayers by the min
listers of three denominations, and
singing by quartette. The body was
then taken to Westlawn cemetery,
and placed in receiving vault, pend
ing the time when it will be finally
laid TO rest beside the dead children
who we're buried years ago.
The funeral procession was very
imposing and included not only the
representatives of the army and navy
Of the United States, but the entire
military strength of the State of Ohio
and hundreds of civic, fraternal apd
other organizations. 1t was two miles
long.
One Of the most pathetic features
Of the day was the absence of Mrs.
Mckinley from the funeral services
az the church and cemetery when the
body Of her husband was laid TO rest.
Since the first shock of the shooting,
then the death, and through the or
deal Of state ceremonies, she had
borne up brayely. But there was
limit to human endurance, and when
to-day came il found her too weak
10 pass through the trials Of the final
ceremonies. Through the open door
Of her room she heard the prayer of
the minister rs the body was borne
out of the house. After that DIR.
Eixcy remained close by her side, and
although the full force of the calami-
~ mad come upon her, it was believed
hy .tose about her that there was a
providential mercy in her tears, as
they gave some relief TO the anguish
OF the heart within.
NJ seven o'clock tonight, President
Foosevtut and the members of the
cabinet started back TO Washington.

RAILS AROUND THE GLOBE.

When the trans-Siberian railway is
formally thrown open to travel the world
will be practically girded by a highway
of steel. The road which traverses Rus
STA from st. Petersburg eastward to
Vladivostok has been ten years in build
ing. 1t has cost nearly $500, O0O, 900 and
along the route are examples of en-
cheering skill the like of which has
never been seen in the world. The
rapidity with which the road was con-
structed breaks all records. The Cana
dian railway, which was ten years in
building, fell far short of the excellen-
cies of engineering skill which have
marked the construction of the Siberian
road. Each of the roads is about 5000
miles in length.

4 FALSE AtARk

1t transpireS that all the talk made
about army officers populations in the
Philippines was wholly without fountfa-
ton. ~
The report Of the commissary general
after the fullest investigation is to the
effect that only $500 was lost to the
government supply stores. and that the
first reports concerning the matter were
gross exaggerations, unsupported by
substantial facts.
A few months ago the country read with
surprise and indignation the charge that
army officers in the Philippines weke
concerned in a vast system of frau Is
upon the government, and the depaft-
ment into whose care the supplies for
soldiers were entrusted was corrupt no
the very center. a.
Naturally an investigation was ordered
and the inquiry into the conditions COM
planned of was prompt and thorough,
and no stone was left unturned to bring
to light hidden frauds and evidence
pointing to official rottenness.
The report made by Commissary Geh-
eral Weston takes the edge from the cut
ting sarcasm INDUCED in by foes of the
administration and restores confidence
in the military branch of the govern
ment. The deserved reputation for hon.
esty which American army officers have
long enjoyed still stands as an evidence
of the excellence of the system en-
ployed in the department of war.
In peace or war officers and men are
better cared for than the soldiers of any
nation on earth. This fact was testified
to heartily by foreign officers who in
spected our troops during the campaign
in China.
The men guilty Of the theft of the
small amount of government stores in the
Philippines were five i'll number. They
We're speedily punished, and the report
of their trial clears away the gross in
justice done officers of the government
commssary department.
The sequel to this promised sensation
teaches needed lesson, and the public
will hesitate before again giving cree
ience to unsupported charges against
officers whose line of duty exposes them
to attacks of the malicious as we'll as
to the dangers Of war. This false alarm
raised by the charges against the army
commissariat will serve to warn the
public against canards coming from the
same source and will fortify the conff-
dence so generally felt in the adminis-
tration of affairs in the Philippines. !

THE BEfF FAMINE.

If the figures setting forth a shortage
in the beef market are reliable, a grave
condition threatens the Western cattle
grower. The steady increase of settlers
in the West has curtailed the range area
and the beef supply has steadily dimin-
ished. In the state of Montana the con-
dition has been particularly noticeable.
Last years shipments of cattle to the
Chicago markets numbered 142,500 head.
This number was nearly $4,000 less than
the shipments of the previous year. and
each season during the past decade has
witnessed a gradual but sure decline in
the number of range cattle sent out OF
the state.
The steady increase of settlers in the
West and the presence of bands of sheep
upon the former grazing grounds of
range cattle accounts for Montana's di-
minishing beef supply.
The inroads made upon the ranges by
the settlers and fiockmasters can be met
in only one way. Irrigation is the So
luton recommended by those best en-
titled to advise upon this subject. The
land laws of the federal government were
formed without reference to the vast
arid area and are not suited to most
Western states. There is now a choice
between cedng lands to the state or
leasing them for grazing purposes. The
latter plan meets with objections from
many sources. 1t is urged that lands
leased for grazing should not be al
lowed to go under lease for a term
OF years that would keep them out Of
the reach of settlers desiring agricul-
tural lands when the leased land is
reclaimed from it's arid state. This
precaution in state lands leases is en-
tirely sensible and satisfactory.
When the storage reservoirs are erect
ed in the West and water supplied for
the arid lands one acre will serve the
same purpose in fattening range stock
that ten does a present. The encroach-
ments of settlers and sheepmen upon
Western ranges is undoubtedly causing
a shortage in the beef supply and this
may be regarded as another condition
favorable to the success of the project
of retaining the arid West,
