THE SAD HOME COMING.
Remains of President Mckinley Re
 ceived Last Night at Washington.

 Washington, Sept 17.-Not a drum was heard, not funeral note, as the slim cortege of cavalry and pallbear- CTS escorting the body of President Me Kinley marched silently along Penn sylvania avenue last night from the station to the White House, between the crowded lines of grieving citizens. The last entry of William Mckinley, the dead president, into the capital Of the nation was at 5 D. m. On the flag draped casket rested a large sheaf of wheat, emblematic of the gathered harvest. Mckinley, the man and the statesman, had passed through the portals of the same railroad station more than a hundred times. His first coming was as boy soldier. Then he came as legislator and as governor. and finally as president-elect of the United States.
 Mckinley, the beloved, cold in death, had come back to Washington for q last pause within it's historic precincts before proceeding to the grave by the side of his mother and father and his two children in the cemetery in Can ton. Yet it was the most triumphant coming of Mckinley to the Capitol, for here the representatives of united nation welcomed. the cold clay, while all the world in spirit united in the sentiment that placed William McKin- ley among the immortals. Among those who stood with uncov- cred heads and tear-dimmed eyes were men who had worn the gray, as sin cere mourners now as those who had in political strife followed the star of Mckinley
 The anarchists bullet had brought the whole nation united to the recogni- tion of the virtues of an American man and pure statesman.
 President Roosevelt and the cabinet were in carriages. Then came the rel atives and personal friends. The body had been deposited in the east room of the White House, and the guards of honor were stationed for the night, the mourning and wearied party that had come from Buffalo retired to gain strength for the mournful ceremonies of the morrow i'll the rotunda of the Capitol building, the scene of so many of McKinley's earthly triumphs.
