Sept. 14.-President Mckinley died
t2:15a. m. He had been unconscious
since 1850 p. m. His last conscious
hour on earth was spent with the
wife TO whom he devoted lifetime
of care. He died unattended by a
minister of the Gospel. but his last
words were an humble submission
to the will of the God in whom he
believed. He was reconciled to the
cruel fate to which an assassin's bull
let had condemned him, and faced
death in the same spirit of calmness
and poise which has marked his long
and honorable career. His last con-
scious words, reduced to writing by
when they were uttered, were as fol-
lows:
''Good-by, all; good-by. It is Gods
way. His will be DONE"
His relatives, and the members of
his official family, were at the Mil
burn house, except Secretary Wilson,
who did not avail himself of the OPP
and political friends. took leave of
him. This painful ceremony was
simple. His friends came to the
door of the sickroom, took longing
glance at him and turned tearfully
away. He was practically uncon-
scious during this time. But the
powerful heart stimulants, including
oxygen, were employed to restore
him to consciousness for his final
parting with his wife. He asked for
her, and she sat at his side and held
his hand. He consoled her and babe
her good-by. She went through the
heart-trying scene with the same
bravery and fortitude with which she
has borne the grief of the tragedy
which ended his life.
Announcement Slightly Delayed.
The announcement of the death to
the members of the cabinet was
made by Webb Hayes, who said:
ut is all over"
Mrs. Mckinley last saw her hus-
band between II and IL. At that
time she sat by the bedside holding
his hand. The members of the cab
met were admitted to the sickroom
singly at that time. The actual
death probably occurred about two
o'clock, it being understood that DR..
Rixey delayed the announcement
momentarily to assure himself.
The announcement of the news to
those waiting below was postponed
until the members of the family had
withdrawn. Through Secretary Cor
telyou the waiting newspaper men
received the notification.
Present When Death Came.
Those present at the time of the
presidents death were: Secretary
Cortelyou, DR.. Rixey, Mrs. and Miss
Barber and Miss Duncan.

An 1mpressive Scene.
The president spoke to Secretary
Root, or perhaps it would be more
precise to say that the latter spoke to
him. The president appeared to be
steeling himself for a look into the
face of him whose dea tn had made him
the first ruler of the world. The ten
sion in the room was great. Everyone
seemed to be waiting. The minister of
the Gospel stood with the Holy Book
in his hand ready to begin. Perhaps it
might have been 60 seconds. It seemed
longer. Then the president turned and
at the same time advanced one step.
He bowed his head and looked down
upon the man whose burden and re-
sponsibility he had taken up. Long he
gazed, standing immovable save for a
twitching of the muscles of the chin
as he labored with heavy breath to re-
press his emotion.
The Services Begin.
At last he stepped back. Col. Bing-
ham, the aid to the president, stand
ing ten feet below the foot of the cas-
ket at the side of the loyal Cortelyou,
glanced in the direction of Rev. Charles
Edward Locke. of the Delaware Ave-
nue. Methodist Episcopal church, who
was to conduct the service. The pas
tor was at the door leading into the
hall, station whence his words could
be heard at the head of the stairs. The
signal was given and there welled out
from the hall the beautiful words of
Lead, Kindly Light" sung by quar-
tette. 1t was President McKinley's IA
vorite hymn.
When the singing ended the clergy

and the first of the long line came
through the door. - -, =. 81
Throughout the long hours of the
afternoon there was never a cessa-
ton of the silent, moving stream Of
people who passed into the city hall.
In the early hours the function was
rendered disagreeable by the violent
rain.

The New President.
Just before II o'clock President
Roosevelt entered, coming into the
room from the rear through the IL
brary.: After passing into the hall he
had made his way around through the
sitting-room behind into the library.
There was an instantaneous movement
in the room as the president appeared.
The procession was still passing from
the south side around the head Of the
casket and back between it and the
members OF the cabinet seated at its
side. Everyone1rose and all eyes were
turned toward the president. He
moved forward again with the tide of
the procession to his place at the head
of the line of ca inet officers. He held
himself erect, his left hand carrying
his silk hat. Those who were coming
toward him fell back on either side to
let him pass. He paused once OF twice
to shake hands silently, but there was
no smile to accompany his greetings.
He, too, seemed to be restraining a
great grief. When President Roose-

Autopsy Shows That GanRrene Caused
President's Demise.
Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 16.-The fol-
lowing report of the autopsy upon
the remains of President Mckinley
was issued at five o'clock p. m. Sat-
urday:
1.-THE bullet which struck over the breast
bone did not pass through the skin, and
did little harm. The other bullet passed
through both walls of the stomach near
its lower border. Both holes were found
to be perfectly closed by the stitches. but
the tissue around each hole had become
gangrenous. After passing through the
stomach the bullet passed into the back
walls of the abdomen, hitting and tearing
the upper end of the kidney. This portion
of the bullet track was also gangrenous,
the gangrene involving the pancreas. The
bullet has not yet been found. There was
no sign of peritonitis or disease of other or
.gans. The heart walls were very thin.
There was no evidence of any attempt at
repair on the part of nature. and death re-
suited from the gangrene which affected
the stomach around the bullet wounds as

able by any surgical or medical treatment.

Some of the doctors, notably Mr.,

President Mckinley was shot with
poisoned bullets. This is not proved.
The only way in which it can be
proved is by examination of the re-
manning bullets, and particularly of
the bullet which struck the president
in the breast without penetrating the
skin. But the president would have

teenth chapter of the First Corinth-
ians. All had risen as he began and
remained standing throughout the re-
mainder of the service. Again the
voices rose with the words of Nearer,
Ny God, to Thee" the very words Pres
ident Mckinley had repeated at inter-
walls of consciousness during the day
of agony before he died. AS the music
died away the pastor spoke again.
The minister then offered a most i'm
pressive prayer. At it's conclusion all
present joined in the Lords Pra yer as
the minister repeated it, President
Roosevelt's voice being audible at the
back of the room. The service con-
cluded with q simple benediction.
Borne from Milburn House,
It was within minute of 1850
o'clock when three long rolls Of muf-
fled drum told those outside the house
that the funeral cortege was about to
appear. From the darkened rooms the
assemblage began to file out to the
street. Soon the walks and lawns were
again covered with the silent throng,
with heads barred. At the moment the
casket appeared, Nearer, My God, to
Thee" assembled in subdued strains
from one of the military bands. Ten
derby the bearers lowered the casket
from their shoulders and placed it in
the hearse. The notes of Chopin's
funeral dirge succeeded the strains of
the hymn. The soldiers and sailors
swung into long columns, and took up
the march southwark toward the city
hail..
AS the funeral cortege moved south
through Delaware avenue toward the
city hall, it passed through a vast con-
course of people filing the walks and
cross streets and crowding house tops,
windows and every available space OF
the buildings along the line of march.

THE RICE MARKET.

inquiry for rice at all points; under light
supply along the Atlantic coast former
prices are maintained In New Orleans
and generally throughout the Southwest
most of the mills are closed for the sea-
son. The remainder OF the crop in the
hands of few large holders who are
looking confidently forward to better
prices. 1t is generally conceded that the
supply thus far is inadequate to meet re-
quirements; contrary conditions thus far
attending the general, leave a more ex-
tended period to be provided for than
usual.
Operations along some of the upper riv-

II. & h. Beers Cotton Letter

New Orleans, June 6.-The advance in
Liverpool was due to the Commercial
and Financial Chronicles report on acre
age which showed an area of Is, 1858, 691
acres, or an increase of only $500 per
cent, whereas it was generally expected
to confirm the increase given by the bu-
reau last week. The late months in LiX-
erpool were relatively stronger than the
near positions, owing to the fact also that
the Chronicle indicated an Indifferent con-
dition of the plant. Outside of the Chron-
icle report there were no features of note
and the market was very quiet all day,
most of the trading again going into the
new crop. The Bombay movement for the
week was 49, 900 receipts, against 5000 only
last year whereas shipments were 1000,
against 5000. The total to date is now
1850 receipts, against $4,000 last year.
and shipments 5000, against $4,000. The
movement at the four leading interior
towns was enormous again to-day, and
we continue to hear of immense holding
in the interior for this season, indicating
there will be more than enough to go
around this year, in spite of attempted
squeezes Some of the buying this after
noon of new crop was on reported local
rains east of the Mississippi river. We
think that weather conditions will con-
tinue to govern prices of next crop
months. while the course of the near po-
sitions will largely depend upon the out
come of the New York July deal and we
would again caution our friends against
operating in the latter, either here or in
New York. During the summer months
we shall only issue a circular three times
a week. Monday Wednesday and Friday,
unless something unforeseen should
transpire to cause activity.
