DETAILS OF A SAD DAY.

COWES, Isle of Wight, January 81.
So far as her immediate safety is con-
cerned, her extreme weakness causes
almost more alarm than the paralysis.
Much Difficulty has been experienced
in administering nourishment for she
appears quite unable to masticate. To
this weakness are probably due the
long spells Of uncOns ciousness through
which she has been passing, although
1t is almost impossible TO distinguish
these from the insiduous encroach-
ments Of paralysis.
For more than a week the court Of
ficials have had work TO keep her
from sleeping al the wrong time. The
last time she drove out the villagers
were astOunded to hear the clear treble
of the son of the Princess of Batten-
berg thrilling out popular songs from
the royal carriage. The explanation
is that he was singing to keep his
grandmother awake Now and again
she doZed, WAXING to tell the boy 10
continue his chant. which TO the initial
ed Onlooker contained a world of
patnOS.
Emperor William, the Prince of
Wales and the Duke OF York are all
expected to arrive at Osborne House
to-day 0Aonday). The only addition
al royal personages who arrived yes
terday was the Princess Victoria. of
wig-Holstein. who arrived dur
ing the afternoon
Yesterday al Osborne, hedged around
with intense secrecy, began with a
touching scene. Amid the bright sun
shine, in marked contrast to the
gloomy skies OF Saturday, there drove
out from the palace grounds carriage
containing wreaths for the tomb OF
Prince Henry of Battenberg In the lit
tie church at Whippingham, about ten
minutes ride from the royal residence.

In the closing moments Of Queen
Victoria's life, another grave portent
arises, namely, the serious indisposi-
ton of the Prince of Wales. So wor-
ried, tired and exhausted was he last
evening that he could not respond i'm
mediately to the summons from Os-
borne House. The most he could do
was to promise that he would leave
London at o'clock this morning, if
possible.
{, 1t is worthy of note that even to-
day the London papers do not mention
by even the most yelled allusion, the
fact that the Queen has had a para
lytic stroke.
Pages are devoted to the mournful
scenes at Osborne House and the de-
scriptions of occurrences here, as we'll
as to kilograms from the colonies and
foreign countries testifying to the SYM
pathy everywhere evoked
According to the Daily Telegraph,
Emperor William, who has expressed a
desire to be received at Osborne House
not as Emperor but as grandson, said
on hearing of the Queens illness:
Il am my grandmOther's eldest
grandson and my mother is unable,
from illness, to hasten to her bedside"

ADMIT THE END rs NEAR.

LONDON, January 21-The bulletin
issued at midnight was too late to be-
come known in London except to a
very few If, when the Metropolis
wakes, the Queen is still living, her
people must recognize that there is
really no hope.
This mornings newspapers have
thrown off all pretense of any possibil-
ity of recovery and they sadly admit
that the end may come at any moment
While there is life there is hope,
they say, and the Queens constitution
is marvellously strong, but it is idle to
deny that the danger is extreme.
Therefore the papers proceed to re-
view Her Majesty's long and illustrious
reign as though she were no more, and
to dilate upon the wonderful influence
she welded in European politics for
so many years.
I'VE all know says the Daily Mail.
that there is danger of losing per-
haps the greatest personal force of our
times"
The Daily News recalls the fact that
even Bismarck, who detested feminine
interference in politics, formed an es-
innate of the Queen, after a personal
interview with her which bordered on
tho idnlof opd $50.
This is one of the most striking
tributes ever paid to a great charac-
ter

preme Court.

Buffalo, n. Y, Sept. 16.-The as
sassin Czolgosz does not yet know
that President Mckinley is dead, and
will probably not know it until he is
arraigned for murder. He will be
indicted by the grand jury probably
to-day and the case will be then i'm
mediately removed to the supreme
court. The arraignment will take
place in that court and will be very
soon, the exact time depending on
the time of the returning of the in
dictment. No further effort was made
by the officers Sunday to talk with
Czolgosz, nor was the theory of poi
soned bullets taken up by the police.
They feel confident that when the
bullets remaining in the revolver are
chemically examined, as they un-
doubtedly will be, no poison will be
found on them. AS to Emma Gold
man, the situation stands unchanged,
the police holding there is not suffi-
cient evidence on which to ask for
her extradition.

HOPE DIspELLED.
President shafer Again Declares
False Rumors of Settler
mcnt of Strike.

70
Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. lathe air was
again full of rumors Thursday that the
strike had been settled. The absence
OF President Shaffer from Amalgama-
ted headquarters all day up to four p.
m. lent color to the report. BY many
Mr.. Shaffer was supposed to be in New
York in conference with President
Schwab, and others were convinced
that he was in conference with the
American Tin Plate officials discuss
ing proposition to call the strike of,
so far as that company was concerned.
When President Shaffer finally APP
peared at headquarters he dispelled
all hopes by saying there was no
change in the situation. Immediately
after arriving at the Office Mr.. Shaffcr
called the national officers to his room
for a conference, which lasted 40 min
utes. 1t was impossible to learn what
the talk was about. as none Of the par
Elephants would talk.
1t was said at Amalgamated head
quarters that the steel combine has re-
fused to entertain any further propo-
sitions of settlement from the Amalga-
mated association. This would seem to
strengthen the report from New York
that the situation Is now in just the
shape that it was before the first con-
ference at Cleveland, in the hands of
the constituent companies for a set
Element; that Mr.. Schwab and Mr.. Nor
gan have turned the matter over to the
local officials, and that If anything is
done it must be done by them. and
through the officers in New York.

DEATH INEVITABLE.
Autopsy Shows That Gangrene Caused
Presidents 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-
uEday:
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
gargrenous. 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 TO evidence of any attempt at
repair or the part of nature. and death re-
suited from the gangrene which affected
| the stomach around the bullet wounds as
well as the tissues around the further
course of the bullet. Death was unavoid-
able by any surgical or medical treatme Mt.
and was the direct result of the bullet
wound"
The above is signed by ii physi-
clans and surgeons, including all of
those in attendance on the president,
with the exception of DR.. McBurney,
who had left the city before the au-
topsy was performed.
Some of the doctors, notably Mr..
Wasdin, are inclined to believe that
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-
naming bullets, and particularly of
the bullet which struck the president
in the breast without penetrating the
skin. But the president would have
died of his wound just the same if
the bullet was perfectly clean. His
system did not possess the vitality to
repair the damage done to his vital
organs. This does not mean that the
presidents system was in bad condi-
ton, but only that his vitality was
low, or, in other words, that he had
small recuperative powers.
Lodgment of the second bullet in the
abdominal wall back of the stomach
had nothing to do with the presidents
death. 1t did all of it's damage in the
abdominal cavity. That bullet remains
a mystery. 1t was not located during
the presidents life, and the two hours
failed to find it. The fact that this
bullet remained in the presidents body
without setting up any disorder where
1T stopped initiates against the theory
that 1t might have been poisoned.

A salute of II guns in honor of the
admiral of the navy marked the open
ing of the proceedings at one o'clock.
The usual formalities on the opening
of a court were transacted with dis
patch. Admiral Schley opened the
first skirmish by challenging Admiral
Howison's eligibility as a member of
the court, and presented three wit
nesses in support of his challenge.
They gave very positive testimony as
to expressions they had heard Admir-
al Howison make favorable to Ad-
miral Sampson and unfavorable to Adj
miral Schley.
Admiral Howison made a reply to
the challenge and it was then submit
ted to the court, which, under the cir
cumstances, was narrowed to Admiral
Dewey and Rear Admiral Benham to
pass upon. After hardly more than Is
minutes spent in retirement to the
consultation room of the court, Ad-
miral Dewey briefly announced that
the court sustained the challenge and
that Admiral Howison would be ex-
cused from further attendance.
Washington, Sept. IA. = Admiral
Dewey informed Admiral Schley by
telephone Friday that the court of in
curry will resume its sessions at IL
o'clock on Monday morning next. The
third member of the court, who will
fill the place vacated by Admiral Howl
son has been selected. Rear Ad-
miral Francis M. Ramsey was the
one selected to take Howison's place
on the court of inquiry. Admiral
Ramsey was retired in April, 1897
and his home is at Washington.

Buffalo, n. ", Sept. 16.-Buffalo on
Sunday became city of mourners.
The gay and flaming decorations OF
the Pan-American exposition gave
way to the symbol of sorrow. The
black drapery of the city's streets
muffled the tolling- bells of the
churches. Bits of Grape appeared on
every sleeve. The sorrow was every
where apparent.
Military Arrives.
At 10:30 O'Clock the military and
naval detachments took temporary
station on West Ferry street immedi-
ately around the corner from the Mil
burn house.
Meantime the members of the cab
met, officials high in the government
service and near friends of the mar
tyred president began to fill the walks
leading up to the entrance of the Mil
burn residence. They came separately
and in groups, some walking, while
those in carriages were admitted with
in the roped Enclosure up to the curb.
There were Secretaries Wilson, Root,
Hitchcock, Long, Attorney General
Knox and Postmaster General Smith.
Others who arrived about this time
were Senator Hanna, Judge Day, Cows.

atives Alexander and Ryan, Maj. Gen.

The New President.
1t was just eight minutes before the
opening of the service when covered
barouche drove up to the house, bring
ing President Roosevelt and Mr.. and
Mrs. Wilcox, at whose home he is a
guest. The president looked very
grave as he alighted and turned to
assist Mrs. Wilcox from the carriage.
His face did not relax into smile to
the salutations Of those nearest the
carriage, but he acknowledged the
greetings silently and with an inclina-
ton of the head. Word passed up the
weH-filled walk that the president had
arrived and those waiting to gain en-
trance fell back. making narrow lane
through which Mr.. Roosevelt passed
along TO the house.
The Remains.
Within the house of death was woe
unspeakable. In the drawing-room to
the right of the hall, as President
Roosevelt entered the dead chief
tain was stretched upon his bier. His
head was to the rising sun. On his
face was written the story of the
Christian forbearance with which he
had met his martyrdom. Only the
thinness of his face bore mute tes-
timony to the patient suffering he
had endured. He was dressed as he
always was in life. The black
frock coat was buttoned across the
breast where the first bullet of the
assassin had struck. The black
string tie below the standing collar
showed the little triangle of white
shirt front. The right hand lay al
his side. The left was across hi,
body.
The body lay in black casket on g

limbs was flung the starry banne,

Expressions OF sorrow mt President
McKin1ey's Death Universal
Throughout the Kingdom.

London, Sept. 16.-It would be al
most impossible to record in detail
the remarkable outburst of sympathy
in Great Britain and her colonies over
tho death of President Mckinley,
proofs of which are continually ar
irving here. Not only has King Ed
ward commanded the court to go into
mourning for one week, but wherever
a public meeting OF any kind has been
held or wherever a public man has
had occasion to speak, expressions
Of horror and sympathy have been
heard.
