Guard OF Honor to BE Named.
1t Is expected that a guard of honor, con-
sisting of high officers of the army and
navy, will be designated this afternoon to
accompany the remains of their late COM
mander-in-chief from the national capital
to Canton, Ohio. If possible this guard
will accompany the remains from Buffalo
to Washington. but in view of the short
time intervening before their departure
from Buffalo it is hardly thought that this
can be arranged.
At the time of the obseauies of President
Garfield the guard of honor consisted of
the general of the army and the senior ad-
miral of the navy, Maj. Gen w. S. Han
cock. Quartermaster Gen. n. G.. Meigs, Ad-
jutant General r. c. Drum Inspector Cen
eral d. B. Sacket and similar number of
naval officers of corresponding rank 1t is
therefore more than probable that the
guard of honor in the case of President
Mckinley will include Admiral Dew, , ard
Lieut.. Gen. Miles and the heads cf tia
principal staff departments of the army
and navy. -s=]
