After they left the sick room the physicians rallied him to consciousâ€" ness, and the President asked almost inunediately that his wife be brought to him.

She sat beside him and held his hand. De- spite her physical weakness. she bore up bravely under the ordeal. The President in his last period of consciousness, which ended about 7:40 o’clock. chanted the words of the beautiful hymn. “Nearer My God to Thee," and his last audible con- scious words as taken down by .Dr. Mann at the bedside, were:â€"-â€"“Good- bye; all good-bye.

The black drapery of the city’s streets muffled the tolling bells of the church- es.. Bits of crepe appeared on every sleeve. The sorrow was indescriba- ble. In the morning a single ser- vice took place at the residence on Delaware‘avenue, where the martyred President died. A hymn was sung nndprayer was offered over the dead body. That was 1111. Only the im- mediate family and friends and polit- ical associates of the late President. were present. '1‘ch scene Was pathetic in the extreme'.“ Then the body was borne out to the waiting cortege on the» brawny shoulders of eight mil- nrs and soldiers of the Republic. The cortege passed through solid walls~of living humanity, barehcaded and grief-stricken, to the City Hall where the body_ lay in state this ai- ; Mr. Wilcox said in explanation of Mr Roosevelt's sbeing so {:11 out of ltouch.

He certainly never expectâ€" ed toâ€"(lay’s occurrences. PROBABLE AUTOPSY. It is almost certain that an autop- sy on the Presidents body will be held to determine the exact cause of death. This is the wish of all the surgeons and physicians who are in attendance. The peculia1 action of the President’s heart was more or less of a puzzle to them all. and Dr. McBurney exn‘esscd the opinion that in the interest of science, as weli as in the interest of the Government and of the world, it would be desi1- able that the exact cause of death be determined. Though the Presi- dent's heart gave trouble from the beginning. its erratic action was at first thought to be due to the shock of the wound. but when the wound had begun to progress favorably. the heart gave more trouble and anxiety than ever. Its action became feeble. and finally gave out altogether. The theory of at least one of the physi- cians is that the original shock of the first bullet over the heart had much to do with the trouble. the Vice-President when he was here last. urges that the best informa- tion he had was that. Mr. Roosevelt would be here to-morrow morning. and that not. until late in the morning would the Vice-President be able to reach a railroad station much before 4 o’clock to-morrow morning. and that would bring him here about 4.- o'clock. There is liLtlc possibility to-night that Mr. loosevult will get here, Mr. Ansley Wilcox. who entertained There was no longer a doubt that in the approaching death of the Pres- ident a complete change in the Ex- ecutive Administration of the Gov- ernment would ensue. When Mr. Roosevelt would take oath of office was wholly a matter of conjecture. President Arthur took the oath at 2 a.m. after the death of (.axlield. and in that case Justice Brad}. of New York, administered the oath.
