Mrs. McKinley last saw her husband be- | tween 11 and 12 o'clock. At that time she sat by his bedside, holding his hand. The members of tha cabinet were admitted to the sick room singly at that time. The actual death probably occurred about 2 o'clock, It being understood that Dr. Rixey delayed the aunouncement momentarily to assure himself. The aunouncement of the news to those waiting below was postponed until the members of the cabinet had withdrawn. Through Secretary Cortelyou the wait- ing newspaper men recelved the informa- tion. In a trice there was the keenest ex- cltement on the broad avenue, but there was no semblance of disorder. When the news was Imparted to those downstairs a Ereat sigh went up from the strong men there assembled. The members of the cab- inet, senators and close friends remained but a few minutes. Then, with mournful tread and bowed heads, they came out Into the darkness and went away. There was not one among them with dry eyes and somo sobbed aloud in their grief. Those at the Redside, Those present at the time of the: presi- dent's death were: Secretary Cortelyou, Dr. Rixey, Mrs. McKinley and Miss Barber and Miss Duncan The military guard was augmented im- mediately on the announcement. The wait- ing crowds melted away rapidly, giving expression In unmistakable terms to the great sorrow they felt. Within a briet space of time the newspaper men, the po- licomen, the sentries of the guard and those whose duties kept them abroad were the persons In evidence in the immediate vieinity. LAST FAREWELLS ARE SAID Family, Frie hers Take Dylng Man, and Cabinet of the Me Lenve MILBURN HOUSE, BUFFALO, Sept. 13.— Before 10 o'clock it was clear to those at tho president’s bedside hat he was dylng and preparations were made for the last sad officos of farewell from those who wera nearest and . dearest to him. Oxygen had been administered steadily, but with little effect in keeping back the approach of death. Tho president came out of one veriod of consclousness only to relapse into an- other. But in this period, when his mind was partlally clear, occurred a series of events of profoundly touching character. Down stairs, with strained and tear-stained faces, members of the cabinet were grouped in anxlous walting. They knew the end was near and that the time had come when | they must sco him for the last time on carth. This was about & o'clock. One by | one they ascended the stairway, Secretary | Root, Secretary Hitehcock and Attorney General Kuox. Secretary Wilson was also | there, but he held back, not wishing to see the prestdent in his last agony. There was only a momentary stay of the eabinet ofi- cers at the threshold of the death chamber. Then they withdrew, the tears streaming down thelr faces and the words of intens: griet choking in their throats rat Thoughts of Mew. MeKinley, After they left the sick room the phy- slefavs rallied hhn to consciousness and the president asked almost Immediately that his wife be brought to him. The doc- tors fell back into the shadows of the room as Mrs. McKinley cume through the door- way. The strong face of the dying man lighted up with & faint smile as their hands were clasped She sat beside him and held his hand. Despite her physical weak- ness, she bore up bravely under the ordeal. The president fu bis lust period of con- | sclousness, which ended about 7:40, chanted | the words of the hymn, “Nearer, My God, | to Thee" and his last audible consclous words as taken down by Dr. Mann-at the bedside wero: “Goodby, all; goodby. 1t is| Qod's way. His will be done.” Then his mind began to wander and soon ko completely lost consciousness. His 1ife | was prolouged by the administration of oxygen and the president finally exprossed desiro to be allowed to die. About §:30 the administration of oxygen ceased and the pulse grew fainter and fainter.

Tuking Thelr All the evening those who had hastened here as fast as steel and steam could carry them continued to arrive. They drove up in carriages at a gallop or were whisked on automobiles. One of the last to was Attorney General Knox. who reached the house at %:30. He was per- mitted to go up stairs to look for the last time upon the face of his chief. Those in the house at this time we Secretaries Hiteheock, Wilson and Root, Senators Fair- banks, Hanna and Burrows, Judge Day, Colonel Herrick, Abner McKinley, the presi- dent’s brother, and his wife, Dr. and Mra, | Baer, the president’s nlece, and her hus- | band; Mrs. Barber and Mrs. Duncan, the president’s sisters; Mrs. Mary Barber, Mrs McWilliams, Mrs. McKinley's physicians, the physiclans who arrived after 8 o'clock John G.

Another Methodlst minister. who has a church nearby, remained at the Milburn residence for two hours. in the bellgf that his services might be desired Cortelyou's Sad Duty. nst Farewells, At 9°37 Secretary Cortelyou, who had been | much of the time with his dying chief, sent | out formal notification that the president was dying. But the president lingered on, | bis pulse growing fainter and fainter There was no nced for offic after this. Those who came from the house at intervals told the same story—that the president was dying and that the end might come at any time. His tremendous vitality was the only remaining factor in the result, and this gave hope only of brief,qostpone- ment of the end. Dr. Mynter thought he might last until 2 a. m. Dr. Mann sald at 11 o'clock that the president was still alive and probably would live an hour. Thus min- utes lengthened to hours and midnight came with the president still battling against death. AL this midnight hour the Milburn house was the center of a scene as animated as though it were midday, although a solemn hush hung over the great crowd of watch- ers. The entire lower part of the house was aglow with: lights and the many at- tendants, friends and relatives could be seen within, moving about and occasionally coming in groups to the front doorway for a breath of air. In the upper front cham- bers the lighfs were low and around on the north side where the chamber of death,le located there were fitful 1ights, some burn- ing brightly and then turned low. Secretary Root and Secretary Wilson came from the house about midnight and paced up an down the sidewalk. All Sec- retary Root sald was: “The night has not come yet." Dr. Junewny Arrives. Despite the fact that vitality continued to ebb as midnight approached no efforts were spared to keep the spark of life growing. Dr. Janeway of New York are rived at the depot at 11:49. George Urban was waiting for him and they drove at a breakneck pace to the Milburn house. He was shown (o the president’s room imme- diately and began an examination of the almost Inanimaie form. Sccretary of the Navy Long arrived at the Milburn house at 12:08 o'clock. This was his first visit to the city and he had the extreme satistaction of seeing the pre; ident alive, even though the latter was not conscious of his visitor's presence. Secretary Long was visibly affecte: Approach of the End. Shortly after midnight the president's breathing was barely perceptible. His pulse had practically ceased and the ex- tremities were cold. It was recognized al bulletins | that nothing remained but the last strug- gle and some of the friends of the family | Who had remained through the day began to leave the house, not caring to be prei- ent at the final scene, Such an intense state of anxiety existed among the watchers (hat frequent circulation that veady occurred, The arrival of the coroner gave rise to one such rumor and a flood of groundless dispatches were sent, saying that the end had come. These were speedily set at rest by an official statoment from within the house that the reports of death were ground- less and that the president still lived. Coroner Wilson sald that he had been ordered by the district attorney of - the county to go to the Milburn residence as oon as possible after the announcement of death -He had Seen a reputable local paper issued with the announcement that the president died at 1i:06 p. m. and had burried to the houre. He was very much chagrined when Dr. Mann met him at the door and told him that his services were ot required and that he would be notified when he was wanted Dr. Mann said that the president was still alive and that Dr, Janeway was examining the heart action, There was really no hope, but they did not desire gruespme anticipation Vice President in death had al- rold, Vice President Roosevelt had been noti- fied carly fn the day of the eritical state of affairs, There was no longer a doubt that in the appronching death of the pres- ident a complete change in the executive administration of the government would ensue When Mr. Roosevelt would take the oath of oMice was wholly a matter of conjecture.

There is little -possibility tonight that | BUFFALO | the city rumors galned | Mr. Roosevelt will get here Mr. A Wileox, who entertained the vice president when he was here last, said the best in formation he had was that Mr. Roosovelt would be here tomorrow morning and not until late in the morning. He sald the vice president would be unable to reach a rail- road station much before 4 a. m. and that would bring him here about noon tomor- row. Mr. Wilcox said, in explanation of Mr. Rooscvelt's being so far out of touch “The vice president was at all times very optimistic nd when he ent away wao absolutely positive that the president would recover and that the convalescence would be rapld. He certainly never expected to- day's sad occurrences. MILBURN HOUSE, BUFFALO, Sept. 14 With the momentary excitement incident to the announcement of the end, the entire scene became one of unmistakable and deep mourning. As if nature lent its aid to the grieving crowds, a dense fog settled like 4 pall over the city. The Milburn house be- | came a tomb of silence. Ligh not ex- tinguished were dimmed; visitore wera denied admittance, and the imourning family and their Intimate friends were speedily left alone with their distinguished dead IS DARKENED CITY From the BUFFALO, Sept. 13.—The city, not fn those parts near the Milburn house all over and out in the exposition grou went into a state of ferment when news of the sudden collapse of the dent was announced. The Il néews of the early day had been somewhat softened by the later afternoon announcement that there was a slight improvement and the sudden announcement of his approaching dissolution came as a great surprise. At the Pan-American grounds it was an- nounced that he was and the ma- Jority of the immense crowd turned toward In the city itself the papers re- frained from any anticipation, but made it understood that there was no hope. It | seemed but an instant when crowds formed at every corner and swarmed toward the newspaper bulleting and when they found that the rumors were chnfirmed somebody shouted: “Let's find the a Dash the only but ds the presi- assin Jail With an impulse the crowd started for the station house where Czolgesz is con- fined. Telephones were utilized and the police notified and when the crowd ar- rived they found the police out in force. Superintendent Bull, anticipating trouble, called out the entire force and in addition asked Fourth brigade headquarters to be in readiness to assist. Colonel Welch, in charge, answered by ordering two compa- nies each from the Sixty-fifth and Sev. enty-fourth regiments to their armorles to await immediate call. Around the station house at 8 o'clock it was estimated that at least 6,000 people were gathered. They were quiet and when the police proceeded to drive them back there was little re- sistauce, At 9 o'clock they had been sent back two blocks on each side of the police station and before 10 o'clock, weary with waiting for definite news, they had dispérsed or gone to the newspaper bulletins, About the House, for Up about the corners near the Milburn house was a picturesque but rather grue- some scene when it is remembered that the crowds gathered there were awalting the president's death. The half-dozen tents and the two blg election booths made it look like the midway of a fair, but the ropes stretched from corner to corner; th solemn-looking police ~ guard,:: the:-pacing: soldiers and, above all,’ the quietness st the assembled multitude, bore witness to the solemmity of the otcasfbn/ At“intervals a carrfage would drive up and then the newspaper men would move toward it. The Milburn house was hardly dtscenible among the trees, the lights in the house having been dimmed, but at a minute's In- terval there would come out some person who had information to bear and the eager crowd would surround him. But from the first time that Secretary Cortelyou told that the president was very weak there was nothing to encourage any belief that there would be recovery. LAST DAY'S FLUCTUATIONS Morning Begine with Some Promiwe, but Fatal Symptoms F Each Other Rapidly, MILBURN HOUSE, BUFFALO, Sept, 13— The president's last day, which ended In despalr, was begun in hope. The illness that came on Friday afterncon when the organs of digestion refused to handle the food that had been taken earlier had seem- ingly been overcome by midnight and when the new day came it found the president relleved and resting. Hope that had sud- denly dropped began to revive. The healing of the wounds had progressad favorably, general conditions were in the main quite satisfactory and the immediate futuro seemed to hold no threat. The phy- siclans who had been in almost constant attendance during the night parted and the vach in the sick room was reduced. Suddenly there was failure of the heart which for scveral days had been manifesting #lgus of weakuess, and the president sank. This was at 2 a. m. There was an im- mediate application of restoratives and a general call went out to the absent physi- clans and nurses. Digitalis, strychnina and saline solution were administered to the patient, but there was no immediate re- #ponso to the treatment Friends Are Sent For. The physicians admitted that dent was despe the prosi- ately i1l and decided to send for the president’s friends and the members of the cabinet. Those within reach were called by telephone or messenger and tele- grams were rushed to those who had left the city. The first of the messages was sent out at 2:30 o'clock and within balf an hour Milburn house began (o fll again | The serlous condition of the president and the general alarm sent out gave rise to u general feeling of fear that never again allayed. Desperate measures were resorted to in order to stimulato the heart and the sinking spell was over by 4 p. m.

It was agreed that it the wounded man could be carried for twenty-four hours his chances would he very favorable, for the wounds were healing splendidly. It was decided to summon Dr. W. W. Johuston of Washington and br. . G. Janeway of New York, heart speclal- 1515, and telegrams were hurried out asking thet they come at once. Before day a dozen of tho relatives and friends of the president arrived at Milburn house. They assembled In the drawing room, where they walted for tidings from the sick room above them The physiclans assured them that the presi- dent had a fighting chance for his lite and to the hope that in the end vietory would be his, they clung all day. Hu reds of Visltors, Hupdreds visitors came during morning. and it the police had not the streets clear and barred Delaware avenue there sands. Senator Hanna, close pressed and political friend of the president, hurried up from Cleveland by special train.

A team has just been dispatched from the lower club house, a distance of ‘ten miles from the upper club houme, whére Mr. Roosevelt is stopping, with the latest bulletins showlug the alarming condition of the president. These should reach him at 10 p. m. If he should start at once on their receipt he will be obliged to drive or ride thirty-ive miles over dark roads before the village of North Creek can be reached. Arrangements have been made to receive word here as soon as he -pusses the lower club house. NORTH CREEK, N. Y., Sept. 14.—Prosi- dent Roosevelt arrived at Alden Lair at 3:18 a. m. The sixteen miles between that place and this village will be covered in the quickest possible time. A relay of horses has been provided in order that he may reach North Creck, where his special train awajts him. The roads are in a very poor condition on account of the heavy rainfall of the last two days and but slow progress can be made. It nothing happens to prevent he should arrive here about b o'clock. Mr. Ruosevelt is now within reach of telephone communication, but has not been Informed of President McKinley's death and will not be until he arrives at North Creek. The road to be traveled from Alden Lair to this place is through heavy forest tim- ber and will be attended with more or less danger. The roads aro very narrow In many places, with deep ravines on either side. A slight deviation would mean a broken carriage or perhaps more serious trouble. ALBANY, N.

Its members share with thefr countrymen and with the family of this noble man whose spirit has departed tho welght of crushing woe. This 1s a time when thoughts and ex- pressions of partisanship should be stilled The committee therefore deems it fitting that in this session of universal sorrow all activity be suspended.
