A protty bay window, with stained glass and heavy drapery, formed a background and agalnst this the president his pos! tlon. Surrounding him we five mem- bers of the cabinet ret Roc Hitcheock, Long, Wilson and Postmaster General Smith, carby were Senator Chauncey M.

Judge Hazel stood near the president In the bay window and the latter showed his extreme nervousness by plucking at the lapel of his long frock coat and nervously tapping the hardwood floor with his heel He stepped over once to Secretary Root and for about five minutes they conversed earnestly. The question at issue was whether the president should first sign an outh of office and then swear in or whether he should awear in first and slgn the docu- ment in the case after. At 3:32 o'clock Becretary Root ceased his conversation with the president, and stepping back, while an absolute hush fell upon every one In the room, sald In an almost In- audible volce: A President In Tears, “Mr. Vice President, I— then his volce broke and for full two minutes tears came down his face and his lips quivered #0 that he could mot continue his utter- ances. There were sympathetic tears from those about him and two great drops ran down either cheek of the successor of Wil- llam McKinley. Mr. Root's chin was on his breast. Suddenly, throwing back his head as it with an effort, he continued In @ broken volce: “I have been requested on behalf of the| cabinet of the late president, at least those who are present in Buffalo, all exc to request that for reacons of weight at- fecting the affairs of government, you ehould proceed to take the constitutional oath of office of president of the United States.” Judge Hazel had stepped to the rear of the president, and Mr. Roosevelt, coming closer to Secretary Root, sald in a volce that at first wavered, but finally came deep and strong, while, as 1f to control his nery- ousness, he held firmly to the lapel of his coat with his right hand: " oath of tent offico Roose- at the took the e ries Roosevelt's Promi “I shall take tho oath at once in accord- ance with your request and in this hour of p and terrible national bereavement I ‘wish to state that it shall be my alm to continue absolutely unbroken the policy of President McKinley for the peace and pros- perity and honor of our beloved countr! The president stepped forward into bay window and Judge Hazel, taking the conatitutional oath of office which had been prepared on parchment, asked president to ralse hie right hand and ropeat it after him. There was a hush like death the in the room as the judge read a few words§ at a time and the president in a strong| volce and without a tremor and with his| raised hand as steady as If carved from marble, repeated it after him. “And thus I swear,” he ended It the side, the chin for an instant rested on the breast and the silence remained un- broken for a couple of minutes as though! the new president of the United States was| offering sllent prayer. Judge Hazel brokel it by saying: “Mr. President, pleaso at- tach your signature.” Signs with Firm Hand, And the presidont turning to a small tablel near by wrote “Theodore Roosevelt” at th bottom of the document in a firm band, “I should like to see the members of (N cabinet a few moments after the others re- tire,” sald the president, and this was the slgnal for the score of people who had been favored by witnessing the ceremony to re tire. A they turned to go the president sald: "I will ghake hands with you peo- ple, gladly,” and with something of his uld| ewile returning he first shook hands with the members of the cabinet present, Wwith Senator Depew and finally with th fow guests and newspaper men.

There is only a very meager sprinkling of sena ors and members of the house of repre- sentatives in Washington, but thoge hold the opinion above expresscd. There may be an extraordinary session of the senate, al though on this point there is a difference of spinion. This s entirely optional with the new pregident. The statute providing for the successio to the presidency requires that congress skall be convened in case a member of the Sept. 14 President It not be- Roosovelt will ry requirement does not apply to the w0 of the vice president being elevated to the presidency through the death of the president. It s belleved that as the faw does not call upon him to do o, the new president will not assemble congress in sp clal session, but will allow the affairs of § the different departments to remain in their g present hands until congress shall meet in constitutional session on December 2, less than three months hence. This precedent was set by President Arthur after the death of Garfleld President in epeclal Arthur did convoke the senate session, but the clreumstances §are somewhat different in the present in stance. The last congress performed its work so completely that in case the entire body should be brought together in extra session there would be no speclal service for it to perform and there would be It- tle more to do than to confirm the nomi- nations office made by the president It would, of course, be mecessary to sum- mon the congress for this purpose and it there should be a desire on the part of Mr. Roosevelt to make a larger number of changes immediately after assuming the duties of his office he could con- firmation by simply calling the senate to- gether. The consensus of opinifon, however, |s that he will ask the present members of the cabinet to continue in office, certainly until next December, when congress will ngsemble. Some members of the cabinet later may wish to be relieved, as several K to Blare not in the best of health and the new president may decide hims he would prefer to make some changes, but g this 1s @ matter quite in the future and not one that would call necessarily for an extra sesslon even of the senate The members of the McKinley cablnet and thelr assistants as well as the heads of the lmportant bureaus and the forelgn ropresentatives doubtless will tender their resignations as fs usual in a chanke of ad- ministration, iu order to relieve the new president of emberrassment, but, un- doubtedly will be asked to.continue in office for some time at least. Though it fa known some desire to relinquish their posts, they are all patriotic and sufficlently devoted to the interests of thelr party to remain in offico if requosted by thelr president to do so.

The fact that Roosevelt is not only the,first president not of English or Scottish descent, but a representative of the Knick- urbocker family, is regarded here as an un- fortunate innovation at this juncture, in| view of England’s dificulties in South Af-| rica. All the character sketches of Roose- velt printed here dwell on his strongly| marked individuality and predict him to be tar too original and self-reliant not to have a distinet policy of his.own. It is anticl- pated, as in the case of the death of Gar- fleld, that one week's court and public mourning will be decreed out of respect to McKlinley's memory. There is no doubt that such a decree would find general response, ¥ of Grief.

The Morning Post, announcing the news of the president's death, in black border, editorially describes Vice President Roose- velt as a “good all-round man, who, If a crisis should unfortunately come, 1s the man marked out to meet it.” Flags were placed at half-mast in the city and the curious scene was witnessed of thousands streaming into London from the suburbs, all ¢ngaged in reading extras with the news of the president's death, as they walked hurriedly to busines: The Daily Chronicle says: It _fs not improbable that the name of| McKinley will be remembered in the his-| tory of the United States next to the names| of Washington and Lincoln, Next to Washington and Lincoln, The Daily Telegraph eays There was the same anxious look in the fuces of Londoners yesterday as they wore when our late beloved queen was fighting her battle with death.

MUNSON, Assistant Surgeon, U HERM! S L. BAER, M. D. Doctors Discuss Report, The official announcement of the physic-j lans as a result of their autopsy on the resident’s body that death resulted from) angrene of the wounds led to much di usslon of the causes leading up to thi angrene. It developed that Dr. Wusdin,| ne of the consulting physicians and ai ex- rt of high standing in the marine hospital ervice, strongly supported the view that the murdcrous bullet had been poisoncd nd that this was one of the moving causes ot the gangrenous condition. The area o the dead and gangrenous flesh was a source f much surprise to the surgeons, reaching, circumterence about the size of a silve ollar above the internal wounds. Aslde from their official signed etate ent the doctors were rather averse to aic uesing the post mortem, Matthew D. Mann,} the surgeon upon who fell the responsibi ity of operating upon the president imme- lately after he was shot, in the course of a conservative talk said: Worked in Unison, “First of all, there was never any conten-] tlon or unseemly discussion among the) physicians as to tiae method of treatmen ot a case similar to the present one in im- portance, In no case was there ever a bet-} ler understanding as to what should bel one. We worked together as one man ‘here were honest differences of opinion} mong us sometimes as to which was (hej ctter mode of procedure under certain onditions, but the minority always werd |-onvinced.” *“About the criticlsms that were made a o the Insufclency of the original exami] ation and the fallure to locate the bulle t the time of the operation; were the ustified 2" “I think the report made today, Mann replled,” is a sufcient answer (g our question. It shows very plainly tha he location of the bullet had nothing t o with the final outcome of the case. That esulted from gangrene which appeared f he path of the bullet. Even our effort oday to locate it as stated in the repor ere unsuccessful. I believe it went int he muscles at the small of the back, Wi ollowed the hole made by the bullet until it went into the muscle. We searched on nd a balf hours for the missing missil he X-ray instrument was not used as | was not handy. The serious damage was one to the orzan through which it passed, ot to the locality where it now rests. D. 8. Concerning the First Bullet, “Your report says the first bullet striking in the breast did no harm?" “Yes, that is correct. That bullet evi dently struck a button and then shied o without doing any damage. Had it not met some obstruction it surely would havel killed the president immediately. Below the locality where it struck the flesh was) uite flabby and contused. Today's inyesti- atlon developed the fact that the first bul- let struck the president on the right side of the breust bone near the edge, and bed tween the second and third ribs. In ou original examination we sald it the left of the breast bone, in the first announcement was due to the very hasty examination we made at the time of the shooting when the question was not 30 much as to the exact locality; f the wounds as to that of getting to work| to save the president’s life." “The repart speaks of a lack of evidence of repair work on the part of nature.

His Failure to R that statement we mean that the vystem of the patlent falled to respond to the demand on it for a revival from the shock suffered by the shooting.) 1t was due, probably, to a low state of vi- tality; net to poor health, mind you, but to a system that was considerably run down and necded rest and recuperation.' “The report says the heart walls wera very thin.
