The president | looked very grave as he alighted and turned | to aseist Mre. Wilcox from the carriage His face did not relax into a smile to the salutations of those nearest the cartiage, | but he ‘acknowledged the greetings silently | and with an inclination of the head. Word | passed up the well-filled walk that the pres- | ident had arrived and those walting to gain | entrance fell back, making a narrow lane through which Mr. Roosevelt passed along | to the house A the president passed within the house | and the services were about to begin the | long lne of soldiers and Sallors swung in | columns of fours into Delaware avenue| and formed In battalion front along the | beautiful thoroughfare opposite the house and immediately facing it. -On the ex- treme were the regulars, on the right the sailors and marines, in the center the National guardsmen. They stood &t pa-| rade rest with colors lowered, each flag| wound about its staff and bound with crepe. ‘The front of the house and the lawns had | been cleared by this time and the sweep of avenue was now deserted, save for the rigld, motionless ranks across from the house. Services had barely begun when there was a clatter of hoofs down on the! avenue and four high-stepping black horses came into view drawing the hearse which | was to bear the casket of the dead presi- | dent. 1t was a heavy vehicle, without plumes or any trappings to relieve the dead black. The horses, too, were not| plumed or caparisoned and all four of them were black from nose to tip of tail. Two men were on the box, the driver with long | lines to the tandem pairs and the groom | with folded arms sitting motionless. The | hearse halted at the corner to await the| conclusion of the services. Outside the house there was a balf hour of silence and walting, In the Ho of Death. Within the house of death was woe un- speakable. In the drawing room to the right of the hall as president Froosovelt entered the dead chieftain was stretched upon his bler. His head was to the rising sun, on his face wi written the story of the written forbearance with which he had mot his martyrdom. Only the thinness ot his face bore mute testimony to the patient suftering he had endured. He was dressed as he alvays was in life. The black frock | coat was buttoned across the breast where the first bullet of the assassin had struck. | The black string tie below the standing collar showed the little triangle of white shirt. The right band lay by his side, the left was across his body. He looked as millions of his countrymen have seen him, save for one thing. The little badge of the Loyal Leglon, the only decoration he r wore, whick was in the left lapel of his | coat was missing. And those who remarked | it, spoke of it and after the hody was taken to the city hall the little badge which he prized through life was placed again where it always had been. The body lay in a black casket on black bearskin rug, Over the lower limbs was flung the starry banner he loved so well. The flowers were few, as befitted the simple ature of the man A spray of white chrys- anthemums, & flaming bunch of blood-red American beauty roses and a magnificent bunch of violets were on the casket. That was all. Behind the head against a pler mirror between the two curtained windows rested two superb wreaths of white asters and roses. These were the only flowers in the room. Two sentries, one from the sea and one from the land, guarded the femains. They stood in the window embrasures behind the head of the casket. The one to the north Was @ sergeant of infantry. In the other window was the sailor garbed in the loose blue blouse of the navy. ? Wife Takes Leave of Husband. The family had taken leave of their loved ono before the others arrived. Mrs. Mc- Kinley, the poor, grief-crushed widaw, had tecn led into the chamber by her physician, Dr. Rixey, and had sat @ while alone with him who had supported and comforted her threugh all their years of wedded life. But though her support waa gone, she -had not broken down. Dry-eyed, she gazéd upon him and fondled his face. She did'not seem 10 realize that he was dead. Then she was led away by Dr. Rixey and took up her position at the head of the stairs, where she could hear the services. Mrs. Hobart. widow of the vice president in President McKinley's first term; Miss Barber, Miss Mary Barber and Dr. Rixey remained with Ler there. The other members of the family, Mr. and Mrs. Abner McKinley, Miss Helen McKinley, Mre.

The senator spoke to no one. His eyes were vacant, He passed through the throng and seated himself beside Governor Odell, sinking far down into his chair and | resting his head on his hand. During ali the service that followed he did not stir Roosevelt Views Remalas. Just before 11 o'clock President Roose- velt entered, coming into the room from the rear through the library. After pass ing into the hall he had made his way around o the sitting room through the Jibrary. There was an instantaneous move- ment the room as the president ap- pearcd. The procession was still passing from the south side around the head of the casket and back between it and the members of the cabinet seated at its.side. Fvery one rose and all eyes were turned toward the president. He moved forward with the tide of the procession to his place at the head of the cabinet oficers. He his left hand carrying | his silk hat. Those who were coming | toward him fell back on either side to let | him pass. He paused once or twice to shake hands sileptly, but there was no smile to accompany his greetings. He too, like the man deep down fn hie | seat against the wall who had forgotten to rise when the president of the United States | had entered, seemed to be restraining a great grief. When President Roosevelt reached the head of the line of cabinet offi- cers he kept his head away from the cas- ket. The infantry guarding the dead stood hetore him rigid as a statue, although the | commander-in-chiet approached until he could have touched him, the soldiér did not salute. The, president spoke to Secretary Root, or perhaps it would be more precise to say that the latter spoke to him. The president appeared to be steeling himself | for a look Into the face of him whose death had made him the first ruler of the world. | in Grent Tension Is Apparent. The tenslon in the room was great. The | minister of the gospel stood with the holy | book in his hand ready to begin. .Perhaps it might have been sixty seconds. It seemed | longer. Then the president advanced one | step. He bowed his head and iooked down | upon the man whose burden and responsi- | bility he had taken up. Long he gazed, | standing immovable save for a twitching of the muscles of the chin as he labored with breathing to repress his emotion. At he stepped back. Colonel Bingham, | the aide to the president, standing ten feet | below the foot of the casket at the side of tho loyal Cortelyou, glanced in the direc- tion of Rev. Charles Edward Locke of the | Delaware Avenue Methodist Eplscopal church, who was to conduct the service. The | pastor was at the door leading into (he | hall, a station whence his words could be heard at the head of the etairs. The signal | was given and there welled out from the | hall the beautiful words of “Lead, Kindly Light,” sung by a quartet. It was President McKinley's favorite hymn. Everyone within | sound of the music knew it and half of | those in the room put their faces in thetr hands to hide their tears. Comptroller| Dawes leaned against a bookcase and wept. | President Roosevelt seemed to be swaying | to and fro as if his footing were insecure. Sing Preaident's Dying Words, When the singitig ended the clergyman | read from the word of the fifteenth’ chap- ter of the First Corinthlans. All had risen as. he began and remained standing throughout the remainder of the service. Again the voices rose with the words of “Nearer, My God, to Thee' the very words PresNent McKinley had repeated at Intervals of (ynsclousness during the day of agony before he dled. As the music die away the pastov spoke: “Let us pre he said, and every head fell on its breast. He began his invocation with a stanza from a hymn sung in the Methodist church. His prayer was as follows: , God, our help in ages past; our hope for years to come; our shelter from the| stormy blast and our eternal home. We, thy servants, humbly beseech Thee for manifestations of Thy favor as we come into Thy presence. We laud and magnify Thy holy name and praise Thee for all Thy gooduess.

The friends and public associates of the dead president all bad opportunity to view the remains before the service began. The members of the cabinet had taken their leave before the others arrived. They re- malined seated beside their dead chief while the sad procession viewed the body. They were on the north side of it. A place di- vectly at the head had been reserved for President Roosevelt. Secretary Root sat alongside this empty chair. Then came Attorney General Knox, Secretary Long, Secretary Hitcheock, Secretary Wilson and Postmaster General Smith in the orde named. About 100 in all saw the body. Some were so overcome with grief at the sight of the thin, placid countenance that their frames shook In convulsive sobs. Several clung to the side of the bier and with dif- culty could be pursuaded to leave. Almost every face was tear-stained.

Four sallors Infantry sergeants and two artillery sergeants bore the casket aloft and out of the house. The president cabinet and the others followed it. Mre, Me Kinley and the members of the family re mained. The widow had passed througn the ordeal bravely and without breaking down. The trained nurses and the personal attendants of the president gathered on the side porch to see the body taken away. It was witkin a minute of 11:20 o'clock when three long rolls of a mufed drum told those outelde the house that the funeral cortege was about to appear. From the darkene rooms the assemblage began to file out to the street. Soon the walks and the lawns throng, with heads bared. At the moment the casket appeared “Nearer, My God, to Thee" a cended in subdued strains from one of the military bands. Tenderly the casket was lowered from shoulders and placed in the hearse, The notes of Chopin’s funeral dirge succeeded the strains of the hymn. The soldiers and sailors swung into long column and took up the march southward toward the city hall Roosevelt Walks with R, two President Roosevelt came from the house Almost immediately, followed the casket, and, arm in arm with Secretary Root moved through the alele of people.

After them followed a long line of carlages occupled by those who had been near the president officlally and personally and who followed more as friends than as officials. None of the mem- bers of the family entered the carriage As the funeral cortege moved south through Delaware avenue toward the elty hall, it passed throigh a vast concourse of people filling the walks and crossstreets and crowding housetops, windows and every avallable space of the bulldings along the line of march, As the escort of soldiets swung slowly into Franklin street a few drops of rain fell. In two minutes It wa# raining hard The long ilne of troops took their posi- tions at attention, facing the city hall. The carriages containiug members of the cabinet hurried up to the entrance. The last of the carriages was the one bearing President Roosevelt. Removing his hat the president stepped from the vehicle and walked Into the vestibule. When the hearse appeared the four horses were led slowly to th entrence and stopped. The band some distance ‘Nearer, my God, to Thee.” At the same instant precisely the rain came down in sheets and driven along by a southwest gale off the waters of Lake Erie tore across City Hal! square. Body Taken te City Hall, The casket was lifted from the hearse to the sailors and marines and was horne into Buffalo's oficial home. Outside there was not a man, so far as could be seen, who did not stand, defying elements, with hat removed, respecting his dead president Within, with steps slow and measured, the bearers found their way to the catal- faque. A moment later and the body of President McKinley was lying in state. The scheme of the interior drapings was unique and most artistically carried out. As one entered the vestibule from Franklin street the vision was greeted with graceful festoons of black. The drapery ascended from the floor to the ceiling and dropped to the mouldings, where it was caught in bows of deep black, thence to follow down- ward the contour of the building. A mam- moth column situated halt way between the festoon the arch. Color was lent by large pletures of the martyred president, fas- tened on either side of the column, while companion piéces of like dimensions adorned the walls. Many vards of drapery converted the rectangular spaces demar- cated by the column and the walls into two arches of imposing proportions, af- fording entry to the main corridor where had been constructed the canopy of state under which the dead president was to repose while Buffalo’s citizens by the thousand pald their last respects. Leaving the arches, elevator shafts on either side were literally hidden from view behind a perfect sea of black. State Canopy of € president, of Ruffalo of the ity away began shmeres, Above the central polnt of the corridor, directly under the floor walls, was fash ioned the state canopy. White and black cashmeres of costly price floated down In graceful lines from a point high up in the building. The purity of the white alter- nated with the somber of the black, reach- ing down in French drapes with festoon- Ing of beautitul simplicity. Drooping down 1o impressive grandeur were four of the country's flags, so hung as to burst forth into a cross. Below on the tiled floor of the corridor rested the catalfaque. It was covered with the same costly cashmere, these being re- lieved by six knots of generous propor- tions of satin material. Its head rose eighteen inches from the floor and made a gentle angle, allowing the bier to slape to the foot. Stairways fanked the two sides of the corridor. The baiustrades were hidden from view beneath the conventional garb of mourning. Mounting the stair- posts were chandeliers of six lights, burning low. The arms of the chandelier were wound with black and white crosses. A radintor was swallowed up in a mass of funeral color and back of this impromptu altar there spread out a space not uniike a chancel, all in black and white. Behind it all floated another American flag of gen- erous proportion; Catatalque Surrounded with The enclosure for the catatalque was sur- rounded by banks of palms.

Of striking beauty was a white wreath bearing the nama of Chile, Circled about the bier was the distinguished company. To the left stood President Roosevelt; at his left was Attorney General Knox. Then came Secreta Long and Secretary Wilson Across o the right Secretary Cortelyou stood. With him were Secretary Root, Sec- | retary Hitcheock and Postmaster General Smith. Guarding the body were assistant sergeant-at-arms at the head, a marine ut the foot, in each side a marine. The casket was immediately. opened to its fullest length An American flag was thrown across the foot of the casket and resting agalnst it were wreathes of roses A moment of sllence prevailed. then President Roosevelt nodded to Secretary Root and side by side they left the scene | by the rear doors followed by the other | members of the cabinet, | Fivo minutes were spent in completing arrangements for the admission of Buffalo's cltizens.

At 1:26 o'clock exactly the police were notified that the body could be viewed by | the people. A minute later and the first of the long line came through the doors In silence they moved through the doors past the blers to view the face of the presi dent. Old men and weak women and strong | men and children, leaders of men and la- | borers, all these classes were represented in the throng that filed past.

There was a score of distinguished Chillans. Dr Fugene Wasdin, one of the physiclans, who attended the president, escorted to the bier a lady and passed on with the crowd. Throughout the long hours of the after- noon there was never a cessation of the silent, moving stream of people who passed into the city hall. In the early hours the function was rendered disagreeable by the violent rain. Wenther Clears Up. At 5 o'clock the heavens agaln cleared. The crowds grew Iarger until those fn charge found 'it™necessary to extend the hours. Owing to the presence of so many waiting thousands it was decided to leave the city hall open indefinitely.

Scpt. 15.—The draping of public buildings, the city banks and public | bulldings in the financial districts, busi- | ness houses on Broadway, hotels and thea- ters has been going on today. By tomor- row morning commercial and financial New York will present an appearance commen- surato with the event which is the eorrow of the nation. The city hall is the most conspicuous building in the downtown section. A spe- clal appropriation was made for the pur- pose of artistic work sultable for the oc- casion. Three landmark churches on Broadway, Trinity, St. Paul's and Grace, are con- spicuous by ‘the grouping of flags, Inter- twined with crepe.

In some Instances the British colors alone are At halfmast with black streamers. Taken as a whole, the effect through the eity is effective Naturally the theme of all the sermons preached in the city and its suburbs today was the lamentable death of the presi- dent. With practical unanimity those in | charge of the services had the congrega- tlons sing “Nedrer, My God, to Thee,” as a further tribute to Mr. McKinley. Most of the churches were draped in black and in not a few the American flag mingled its colors with the dark folds of | crepe. The congregations were large in | every church and there was a marked gravity about the worshipers. The tragedy of September 6, it was no- table, was treated as having profoundly humiliated the nation and having Involved | it in grievous loss, but there were ex- | pressions of confidence in the strength of | the government and in the administration of President Roosevelt. There were many vehement expressions ageinst aparchy The tone of pulpit comment was rather that the assassination had brought the country face to face with a problem that must be dealt with sanely and with ma- ture wisdom, rather than on blind im pulse President Roosevelt's proclamation was read in the churches and services were appointed In most of them for Thursday.
