The following is a comprehensive sum
congress;
The president begins his first annual
communication with an official announce
Inent Of the death of the late President
Mckinley ana a eulogy of his former
chief in which he SAYS:
1T is not too much to say that at the
time Of President McKiniey's death he
was the most Widely-lOyed man In all the
uited States, while we have never had
any public man Of his position who has
been so wholly free from the bitter ami
m0stles incident to public life. His po-
NUcal opponents were the first to bear
the heartiest and most generous tribute
10 the broad kindness Of nature, the
sweetness and genHeness OF character
which so endeared him to his close assoc

ia public lie ne united the tender aftec-

example to all our people because of his
conduct in the most sacred and intimate
of home relations. There could be no
personal hatred of him. for he never act

breath went from the lips that even in
mortal agony uttered no words save Of
forgiveness to his murderer. Of love for
his friends and of urfalterlGs trust in the
will Of the Most High, Such a death
Cr0wning the glory Of such a life leaves
MS with infinite sorrow, but with such
pride IN what he had accomplished and IN
his own personal character that we feel
the blow not as struck at him. but as
struck at the nation. We mourn a good
and great president who is dead but

In the same connection he makes
strong recommendations as to how the
nation should deal with anarchy, He
urges that the preaching or teaching OF
anarchy he not permitted. and requests
congress to enact legislation that will
