Sergeant-at-Arms Ramsdell of the Sem
ate this morning notified Lieut.. Burrows,
acting chief of the Capitol police, to off,
cially close the great white building as a
mark of respect to the dead President.
Orders to that effect were quickly issued
and policemen stationed at all doors to pre-
vent the entry of persons not connected
with the Capitol in an official capacity
A few minutes later about 800 excursion
lists from Waynesborough Pa, who had
just arrived Baltimore and Ohio train
besieged the several doors, but were firmly
and politely informed that they could not
go in.
The old flags over the east and west
fronts of the Capitol were raised at half
mast about o'clock this morning. 1t is
proposed to fly new flags in place of the
old ones during the thirty days of mourn
ing. and the duty of raising them has been
assigned to Capitol Policeman Frank G..
Jones, who performed the same service on
the morning of September 20, 1881, when
President Garfield died.
Sergeant-at-Arms Ramsdell reached his
office before 0 clock. and Assistant Archi-
tect Wood was also promptly on hand, and
directions were quickly given for draping
the big building in somber black.
The old catafalque in the crypt, two
stories below the rotunda which was origi-
nally intended for the last resting place Of
George Washington, received attention this
morning. Soon after o'clock Buford. c.

The original black broadcloth which COW

sad service of cleansing the catafalque he
was almost in tears. He was Mr.. McKin-
ley's messenger during his service in the
Fifty-irst Congress and afterward went
to Ohio with the dead President.

The old catafalque has an interesting
history. 1t was constructed thirty-six years
