had received no news confirmatory of the
worst reports regarding President McKin-
ley. President Diaz, after expressing anew
his deep sympathy to Ambassador CLAYTON
and desire to be informed Of any change
in President McKinley's condition, with
drew.

BY O'Clock the City Was In Garb OF
Mourning.
NEW YORK, September 1.-The tollIng
OF bells about O'Clock this morning ap-
prised the people OF this city Of the death
OF President Mckinley. The crowds had
left the bulletin boards and hotel corridors
and other places where the news OF the
Presidents condition was to be had, and
the streets had taken on their usual ap-
pearance at that hour OF the night when
the announcement Of the Presidents 8 death
was received. Within quarter Of an hour
the church bells had taken up the message,
and in solemn tones spread the sad tidings
With the dawning of the day flags were
run up to hah-mast on ofnce buildings and
hotels and on all the pubic buildings and
schools, and by Z o'clock black drapings
were being hung from many Of the build
ings.
Sir Thomas Upton today sent this mes
sage to the Associated Press from Sandy
Hook:
Il am very much panied and grieved in
the sad news regarding the Presidents
death, all the more as I had a most
cheering telegram from his brother on the
10th. saying he was happy to inform me
that the doctors looked for a speedy re-
covery. His death Is loss to the whole
world. and 1t will be felt nowhere more
than among the British people"

Stars and Stripes Floating Draped
With Crepe.
PARIS, September 1.-THE news Of Pres
ident McKinley's death became known here
generally at about 10 O. clock, and the CEN
trail portion Of the city Immediately bris-
tied with furled and crepe-draped American
flags. The United States embassy and
consulate, all the hotels and American bus
mess houses and the establishments of
many French firms the Avenue de
L Opera, the Rue de la Paix, the main
boulevards and In the Champs Elysees
quarter displayed this mark of respect
The United States embassy had not re-
ceived official notification Of the Presidents
death when the Associated Press dispatch
announcing 1t arrived, and at $50 o'clock
the news was communicated to the en-
bassy. Ambassador Porter, who has not
been well for the past fortnight. was deep
ly affected by yesterdays intelligence. He
had undergone very painful but not dam
gerous operation for local trouble the pre-
vious day. and was upset yesterday by the
sudden change for the worse in Mr.. McKin-
ley's condition. His physician, therefore,
ordered that he should have complete re-
pose and forbade that the news Of the
Presidents death be communicated to him
the day.
M. Delcasse Calls at Embassy.
Minister Of Foreign Affairs Delcasse call
ed at the embassy at about 10 o'clock, but
could not be received. few minutes
later President Loubet drove up. The am
bassador's physician received him and ex-
planned that the news had thus far been
kept from Ambassador Porter and that it
was deemed inadvisable to allow him to
receive anyone. President Loubet express
ed deep sympathy with the ambassador
and asked that the latter be informed Of
his visit and that he intended personally
to convey condolences over the loss sus-
tanned by the American people He then
departed.
The doctor says there is absolutely no
danger for Ambassador Porter. who only
needs rest to insure his complete recovery
within a few days. In fact, but for the
shooting of President Mckinley General
Porter would have started on journey to
Constantinople next Saturday. as planned.

SECRETARY CAGES TRIBUTE
After Nearly Five Years' AssOciatiOn
With President Mckinley.

After Nearly Five Years. Association
With President Mckinley.
Secretary Gage, upon being informed Of
the death Of President Mckinley and re-
Quested to make some comment on the lat
ters life, said:
TT seems like mockery to attempt to
eulogize him. No words can carry from
one mind to another proper understand
ing OF that unique personality. He him
self must be his best interpreter. His acts
his utterances. with their indescribable
charm, have made him known to the Amer
ican people. Through this they understand
and appreciate him. In their hearts can
be found the love and the gratitude which
his unselfsh, untiring and affectionate de-
votion to his country justly inspire. II I
speak Of him it must be simply and with
out exaggeration. In an active life ex-
tending now over long period have met
many men Of superior powers and manifold
graces, but after nearly five years OF close
association with this man and a constant
study Of his mental and moral character
istics, / have come to regard him in tho
combined qualities which make a man
truly great as the superior of all the men
have ever known. In his death our peo-
pie are indeed stricken with the most
grieyous loss"

Ballet Which Hat the President Might

Have Been Poisoned.
CHICAGO, September IA startling
possibility is suggested by DIR. James A.
Lydston Of this city. In commenting upon
the death OF President Mckinley he said
that the bullet which went through the
stomach and remained in the body might
have been poisoned. The irritation that
produced the increased pnlsations and tenn
peratare could have been caused by a
poisoned lead ball when all other condi-
tions favored recovery.
"By dipping the bullets in pus. or deadly
chemicals. the assassin may have made
sure Of his VICTIM" said DIR. Lydston
