where a marshal with a sash worn
diagonally across the shoulder, leads
a funeral train a full quarter Of a
mile in length, the whole equipage

there is so much Of grief in Wash

announced postponemcnt Of reception
Tonight at the White House at which
Washington residents Of Ohio birth
were to have met in observance Of the
birthday of President Mckinley.
The President, in a letter to Milton
Il. Allies, chairman of the arrangement
committee. aa;d:
"Whilc | have looked forward with
most agreeable anticipation to the re-
ception to be given tonight by the
Ohio Society, at which we were to meet
and happily recall the memory of the
late President Mckinley, cannot but
feel that we would best answer all our
incinations if the reception were post
poncd. There is SO much of grief IN
Washington to-day SO much of sorrow
attending the Knickerbocker Theater
disaster, that I should prefer to omit
a social affair while Washington is suf-
fcrng from the great shock
at is especially becoming, as you
have suggested. to have the Ohio Soci-
city take note Of it's own particular share
in the great sorrow, and the cancellation
will be a bctitting expression Of The
grief which has come through accident
and death to members and valued
friends Of the society,"
Officials of three foreign governments
in Washington to-day expressed sor-
row over the tragedy. They we're Baron

that other thcaters in the Crandall
