Hope Abandoned at Midnight. Practically all medicines and oxygeh treatments were abandoned a consider­ able time before midnight. All hope was abandoned then, and the only thing left to do was to wait for the worn out machinery to run down. Mrs. McKinley had been with the President twice during the early part of the evening. Just before the President lost con­ sciousness Mrs. McKinley knelt at his side. He knew her and said: "Good- by all; good-by. It is God's way; not our will, but Thine be done." Lou of Consciousness.

Officials See the End.. Next in official importance among the watchers were Senator Hanna, Controller Dawes, Senator Fairbanks, Governor Yates of Illinois, J. H. Mil- burn, President of the exposition, in whose house the President died; Col­ onel Myron T. Herrick, with his wife; and half a score of others who came and went. Included among these were Colonel W. C. Brown, Abner McKin- ley's law partner; Russell B. Harrison, son of a former President; Webb C. Hayes, son of a former President; and many others whose figures could scarcely be distinguished in the gioom. The Struggle With Death, The President's turn for the worse came at 2 o'clock on Friday morning, and it was almost exactly twenty-four hours later before the last flicker of life had died away. It was the heart which failed early in the morning fol­ lowing upon the partial collapse on Thursday night, and all. through the terrible day into the night the heart of the good President beat with irregular throbs which told of the inevitable end. Mrs. McKinley Informed. Mrs. McKinley was warned that it was only a question of minutes before the end came, but as these minutes drifted into hours her strength failed completely and she was forced to re­ tire, under the commands of the physi­ cians, who alone could tell whether life was extinct or not. Final Deathbed Sreafj£> - The result was that when the end really came, at 2:15 . p'oock in the gray, foggy morning, those present in the death c^sinber were only Miss Hel­ en MvRinley, Mrs. Duncan, Abner Mc- in!eyr James McKinley, John Barber, and Dr. Rixey.

This document binds its mem­ bers together to advocate and work for the destruction oMhe existing social order, and continuesr "As in former times no privileged class ever relinquished its tyranny, no more can we take It for granted that the capitalists of the present day will forego their privileges and their authority without compulsion. It is, therefore, self-evident that the fight of £ proletarian against the upper and middle classes must be of a violent character and that mere wage con­ flicts can never lead to the goal.

Under all these Immediately thereafter the party that had been assembled in the house during the night broke up, coming down the walk singly and in pairs. Men Weep as They Leave. Everybody was deeply affected. Sev­ eral of the men were sobbing aloud as they passed on their way to their carriages. Secretary Wilson says that the party will go first to Washington, where the body will lie in state in the Capitol, but interment will be in Canton, O. The details of the President's funeral will be in charge of the Secretary of State. Through him notices and in­ vitations to distinguished foreign rep­ resentatives will be extended. Congress May Attend Funeral. The wishes of the members of the President's family will be observed and the character of the services will depend entirely on them. Congress will attend in a body, if the services are held at the national capital, but if they are performed at Canton this arrangement may be changed. The House is not organized, and the oath has not been administered to the members elect, but they will be in charge of the Sergeant-at-Arms of the last House, who holds over in office. The Senate, being a continuous body, will be present officially, with Presi­ dent Pro Tem Frye at its head, and the Sergeant-at-Arms In charge of the details. Secretary Root and Secretary Long will detail suitable bodies of military and naval forces to be present at the funeral. Death Caused by Heart Trouble. The President s heart gave trouble from the beginning, but its erratic ac­ tion was at first thought to be due to the shock of the wound, but when the would had begun to progress favorably the heart gave more trouble and anxi­ ety than ever. Its action became feeble and finally gave out altogether. The President's death was due to heart exhaustion, but some of the physicians do not believe there was organic heart trouble. The theory of at least one of the physicians is that the original shock of the first bullet over the heart had much to do with the trouble which caused death. Slayer Saved by Darkness. A noticeable theme of comment was occasioned by the hour at which the death occurred. It partook somewhat of the providential that the event should have come in the dead of night instead of the early evening, when the thousands who gathered on the streets of the city were in no ten­ der mood. Had the death come ear­ lier it is possible that the authorities would have had to cope with more or less violence. Crowds Siirroand JaU. During the early part of the evening crowds began to gather about the sta­ tion-house, where the assassin, Czol- gosz, was confined, and the purpose of tueir gathering was at no time mys­ terious. People gathered rapidly, who openly declared they intended to lynch the assassin, if the President died. Tto» authorities Srere fully alive to the situation and agents Of the secret service reported tnat the people were excited beyond measure. There were ;|not only the people of Buffalo, Indlg- inant at the disgrace to their city, but tetrangers, who had no neighborly re­ spect for the local authorities. Gov. Odell pacted promptly and gave orders to protect the jail. Thus the assassin was safe from penalty for the miserable death he had dealt out to the President. ' All Friday and Friday nfgfet SO,000,- 000 of Americans stood in thought and heart at the bedside Of their dying President. A simple people, devoid of the arts which in other lands are used to decorate the emotions, they knew only how to sorrow in silence and hope that the Impending blow would be spared. In his daily life the President of the United States is merely its first citi­ zen--a plain man in plain clothes, ac­ cessible to other plaiij men in plain clothes. By virtue of bis office he is only the foremost among his equals, and as such he meets his fellow citi­ zens without claiming or expecting from them the studied deference or os­ tentatious affection which is so sedu­ lously displayed in the capitals of other lands. Yet for days, while this man of the McKINLEY IN 1S66. people" lay stricken by the assassin, bound dowti by wounds, and hovering between life and death, 80,000,000 men, women, and children turned from the tasks of a crowded life, forgot their personal strivings and personal griefs, and in dire suspense reached out for. the least word of comfort, of courage, or of cheer from their President's bed­ side. Sorrow, affection, and anxiety were written across the face of the whole nation, throughout the days and throughout the nights, and now, with the blow fallen and the watching done, the land gives itself over to the mourning which no crown or scepter could command, which no throne could gather to it, and now the civilized world has joined us In grief over our calamity. - The republic may appear at times ungrateful, for its heart is deep, but he who finds that heart has not. lived or died in vain.--Chicago Inter Ocean.

Services at Buffalo Sunday-- Mrs. McKinley itemalns Upstairs at Milburn House While fteligloaa Cam monies Are Being Conducted. As the daily life of William Mcltin- ley was marked by the greatest sim­ plicity, so were the last rites and serv­ ices over his casket Sunday at Buffalo. Solemn and Impressive,full of the les­ sons that the President had sought to live out in their fullness, there was no pomp or circumstance to the closing scenes in the now famous Milburn house. With the sacred hymns that had been his favorite music, with the loving words of those who had known him only to love him, with just a few of the nearest and the dearest of the countless men and women who had been proud to call him their friend gathered at the side of his bier, the noble victim of ^ wanton wretcli was prepared for his last journey. Then the casket was closed over' its precious burden and borne through'the streets of the city to where the multiture might pass in one long, sad procession for the last view of the kindly face. Scenes at the House. In the library of the Milburn house, Where the rays of the sun fell softly through the shaded windows, the last Words were spoken. Outside soldiers passed back and forth, guarding the house of death and sorrow; inside a sweet-voiced choir sang songs that had lingered on the sufferer's lips as the last bit of consciousness fled from him. Upstairs the widowed invalid sat and listened to it a^l, scarce knowing what it meant, but with the mark of a great sorrow on Jier sweet face. Eleven o'clock was the hour for the solemn ceremony, and just as the chimes in a distant belfry rang out it was begun. For an hour before the appointed time the pavement in Del­ aware avenue had echoed the clatter of the carriages bearing the distin­ guished statesmen and men of public affairs who were to take part in these closing rites. Soldiers stood in grim array before the door of the ivy-cov­ ered mansion, groups of watching newspaper correspondents lingered in the road and waited for what was to come. - . , -r-- Covered bj Old Glory. , • The casket had been carried down froin the upper room where Mr. Mc­ Kinley had breathed his last and was placed between two windows in the library. The silken folds of an Amer­ ican flag were drawn about the bier. The upper lid was drawn back and the face bared for the parting gaze of those who were soon to assemble. Red roses, white chrysanthemums and wreathes of purple violets lay at the foot of the bier. At the doors and windows opening into the library stood soldiers and marines, the guar­ dians of the dead. The invited few be­ gan to arrive. Senator Hanna was among the first. Then the carriages rolled up, one close upon the other. Little groups gathered on the lawn before the house, waiting for the signal to enter. President Roosevelt, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Ansley Wilcox, arrived just before the time appointed for the services. His coming was the sum­ mons to those on the lawns to make ready for the ceremonies. Widow Remains Upstairs. • The immediate members of the Mc- ftinley family and their closest friends assembled in a small room adjoining the library. Mrs. McKinley was not With them. Suriounded by Mrs. Bar­ ber, Miss Barber, Mrs. Garret Hobart and Dr. Rixey, she was seated in the upper hallway at the top of a flight of stairs, where every word that was pro­ nounced over the casket, which con­ tained all that she held dear in the world could reach her. The strains of hymns rendered by the choir reached her there in her seclusion and brought the slow, sad tears to her eyes. Not once did she break down, but through it all she sat with head- bowed as though l;er great grief had exhausted her powers for suffering. Her anguish was buried deep in a broken heart. The body was taken to the Buffalo city hall for the public funeral. ; • As the funeral cortege passed slowly down Delaware avenue the little host that had listened to the services filed quietly out of the house. The original plans provided for no lying in state. At a late hour Saturday too late for wide knowledge of it to be disseminat­ ed, the public was conceded the hours from 1 until 6 o'clock Sunday after­ noon. More than twice as many as could hope to get through the lines in that time came from all over western New York until fully 200,000 were massed during the morning, tn the face of such a concourse the limit was extend­ ed, but the patient thousands did not know it. They merely stayed qn through the storms and hoped. For •early ten hours they streamed through the city hall corridor wherfr the President lay, passing in two lineft which formed faster than they melted, Ten thousand an hour flowed past un* til weather and physical collapse wort- out other thousands and the thinned lines ended at 11 o'clock Sunday nighl^; President Roosevelt accompanied th#- . funeral party on the train from Buf» • falo to Washington Monday.
