The air was humid and heavy and only a light wind from the south stirred thé drooping flags and the | emblems of mourning. ‘Lue very clements seemed to lend fitting accompaniment to the scene of sorrow about to be enacted. Eager Crowds Are Kept Back. Long before the time set for the funeral services the vicinity of the Milburn house was astir with preparations. long platobns of police officers, mounted and on foot, arrived at the grounds and were posted in details along the streets approaching the house. For a block in each direction the streets were roped to keep back the gathering crowds. The vigilance of the officers in keeping back those not entitled to-admission within the | reserved area was redoubled. Those sum- moned to the service, the uniformed escort of marchers and those whose busi- ness imperatively brought them there, passed within the _four-square precinct | about the house where the body of the dead chief reposed. * | _Major General John R. Brooke, who was | personally in command of all the forces participating in the escort, arrived at 10 o'clock. He was in fatigue uniform, with service sword at his side. Around-his left arm was wound a heavy band of crepe. With him were his aids ‘and a half score of other officers, all in fatigue uniform, | with badge of mourning on their sleeves. { The time was now approaching for the | services. The tramp of the assembling military could be heard and the walk leading up to the Milburn house began to be lined with those who were to be assembled about the bier. Even amid the stir of assembling, a solemn and awe like silence prevailed, and the division of the escort came to their posts with silent bands. Military and Naval Detachments. At 10:30 the military and naval detach- ments took temporary station on Wi Ferry street, immediately around _the corner from the Milburn house. First | came Companies I and L of the Four- | teenth United States Infantry, stationed at Fort Porter, under command of Cap- tain John R. M. Taylor, marching with the steady tread and bearing of regulars, Following them came a company of the Seventy-third coast artillery now on duty at the Pan-American Expoésition, in_com- mand of Captain John P. Weisser. These were the men who had been near the President at the moment he was shot and who took part in the struggle with his | as n. The National Guard of the State of New York was represented by picked companies from the fourth and Si fifth regiments, command of Captain Howiand. under hen the trappings of the military arm of the service gave way to those of the | United States navy as fifty men from the United States gunboat Michigan, under command of Colonel L. T. Minnix, swung into position alongside their military brethren in arm: rived onl this morning in order 1 branches of the military, naval and marine e might be fittingly rep- resented. At their head marched a de- ichment of marines, in their dark blue forms and with large gilt-trimmed hei- u mets. After them came the bluejackets with open: shirts, their loose black neck: ailor knots, with yel- | low leggings or hats. Sailors and { marines marched with short carbines at | shoulder ‘arms. The entire military and naval force formed in company front on West Ferry street and there awaited the time for the services to begin. Line of Distinguished Mourners. Meantime the members of the Cabinet, fficials high in the Government serv near friends of the martyred Presi- | | | | o | ana | dent, began to till the walks leading up to | | the entrance to the Milburn residence.

Tt was just eight minutes before the opening of the servicé when a covered ba- rouche drove up to the house, bringing President Roosevelt and Mr. nd Mrs. | Wilcox. at whose house he is a_guest. The resident looked very grave as he alighted and turned to assist Mrs. Wilcox from the carriage.

Word passed up the well-filled walk that the President had arrived and those wait- ing to gain entrance fell back, making a narrow lane through which Mr. Roosevelt passed along to the house. As the President passed within the house and the services were about to be- | 8in the long line of seldiers and sailors swung in coltmns of fours into Delaware avenue and formed _in battalion front along the beautiful thoroughfare, opposite the house and immediately facing it. On the extreme left were the regulars, on the right the sailors and marines and in the center the National Guardsmen. They stood at parade rest, with colors lowered, each flag wound about its staff and bound with crape. The front of the house and the lawns had been cleared by this time and the sweep of the avenue was now de- serted save for the rigid, motionless ranks across from the house. Hearse Plain and Somber. The service had already begun when down the avenue four high-stepping black horses came into view drawing the hearse which was to bear the casket of the dead President. It was a heavy vehicle, with- out 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 room with folded arms sitting motion- ess. Outside the house there was a half- hour of silence and waiting. Within the house of death was woe unspeakable. In the drawing room to the right of the hall as President Roosevelt entered the dead chieff#in was stretched upon his bier. His head was to the rising sun. On his face was written the story of the Christian forbearnce with which he had met his martyrdom. Only the thinness of his face bore mute testimony to the pa- tient sufferings he had endured. He was dressed as he always was in life. The black frock coat was buttoned across the breast where the first bullet of the assas- sin had struck. The black string tie be- low the standing collar showed the little triangle of white shirt front. The right hand lay at his side; the left was across his breast. Ho looked as millions of his countrymen had seen him save for ome thing—the little badge of the Loyal Le- the only decoration he ever wore, which was always in the left lapel of his coat, was missing. And_ those who re- marked it spoke of it, and after the body was taken to the City Hall the littie badge which he prized through life was placed again where it had always been. Simple Floral Tributes. The body lay in a black casket on a black bearskin rug. Over the lower limbs was flung the starry banner he had loved so well. The flowers were few, as befitted the simple nature of the man. 'A spray of white chrysanthemums, a flaming bunch of blood-red American beauty roses gnd a magnificent -hunch of violets were on the casket. That was all. Behind the head, against a pier mirror between the two curtained-windows, rested two supe wreaths of white asters and roses. Th were the only flowers in the room. Two sentries, one from the sea and one from the land, guarded the remains.

The family had taken leave of their loved before the others arrived. Mrs. McKi the poor, grief-stricken widow, had been led into the chamber by her physicjan, Dr. Rixey, and had sat a while alone with him who had subported and comforted her through all their years of wedded life. But though her support was gone she had not broken down. Dry-eyed she gazed upon him and fondied his face. he did not seem to realize that he was G Then she was led away by Dr. y and took up her position 'at the of the stairs, where she could hear the servics Mrs. Hcbart, the widow of the Vice President during Mr. McKinley's first term; Mrs. Lafayette McWilllams of Chi- Barber, Miss Mary Barber and y remained with her. The other bers of the family—Mr. and Mrs. Ab McKiniey, Miss Helen McKinley, Mrs. Duncan, Miss Duncan, Mr, and Mrs. Ba ber and Dr. and Mrs. Baer—had with- drawn into the library to the north of the drawing room, in which the casket lay, and here also gathered other friends when _the service was held. Men Overcome by Grief. The friends and public associates of the dead President all had opporunity to view the remains before the service began. The members of the Cabinet had taken their leave before the others arrived, They remained seated beside their dead chief while the sad procession viewed the body. They were on the north side of it. A place directly at the head had been re- served for President Roosevelt. Secretary Root sat along: empty chair.

All druggists, and the consulting physicians, most of whom had met President McKinley per- sonally for the first time after_he was stricken and had learned to adore him while he suffered so gently and patiently on_ his bed of pain. Senator Hanna, who had fairly wof- shiped his dead friend for years, entered the room at this time, but did not ap- proach the casket. His face was set like (hat.of an iron-willed man who would not let down the barrier of his grief. The Senator spoke to no one. His eyes were vacant. He passed through the throng and seated himself behind Governor resting his head upon his hand. During all the service that followed_he did not stir. 2 Entry of the President. 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 through the sitting room behind into the library. There was an instantan- eous movement in the room as the Presi- dent approached. The procession was still passing from the south side around the head of the casket and back betwaen it and the members of the Cabinet seated at its sidé. [Every one arose and all eyes were turned toward the President. He moved forward again with the tide of the procession to his place at the head of the line of Cabinet officers. He held himself erect, 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 handsesi- lently, but there was no smile to accom- pany his greetings. He, too, like the man deep down in his seat against the wall who had forgotten to rise when the Pres- ident of the United States entered, seemed to_be restraining a_great grief. When President Roosevelt reached the head of the line of Cabinet officers he kept his face away from the casket. The in- fantry man guarding the dead stood be- fore him rigid as a statuc. Although the commander in chief approached until he /| could have touched him, the soldier did not salute. The President spoke to Secre- tary Root—or, perhaps, it would be more precise to say that the latter spoke to him. The Prestdent appeared to be steeling himself for a look into the face of him Those death had made him the first ruler f the world. The tension in the'room was great. Every one scemed to be waiting. ‘The minister of the gospel stood with the holy book in his hand, ready to begin. Perhaps it might have been sixty sei onds, it seemed longer. Then the Presi dent turned and at the same time ad- vanced one step. He bowed his head and looked down upon the man whose burden and responsibilities he had taken upon himself. Long he gazed, standing immov- able save for a twitching of the muscles of the chin, as he labored with heavy breath to rcfiress his emotion. At last he stepped back. Favorite Hymn Is Sung. Colonel Bingham, the aid to the Presi- dent, standing ten feet below the foot of the casket, at the side of the loyal Cor- telyou, glanced in the direction of the Rev. Charles Edward Locke of the Delaware- avenue Methodist Epistopal Church, who was to conduct the service. The pastor was at the door leading into the hall, a station whence his words could be heard at the head of the stairs. 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. Every one within sound of the music knew it and half of those in_ the room put their faces into their hands to hide their tears. Comptroller Dawes leaned against a bookcase and wept. President Rooseevit seemed to be swaying to and fro, as if his footing were insecure. When the singing ended the clergyman read from the word of the fifteenth chap- ter of the First Corinthians. All had risen as he began ard remained standing throughout the remainder of the service, Again the voices rose with the words of “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” the very words President McKinley had repeated at intervals of consciousness during the day of agony before he died. As the music died away the pastor spoke again. “Let us pray,” he sald, and every head fell upon its breast. He began his invo- cation with a stanza from a hymn sung in the Methodist church. His prayer was as follows: O Ged, our help in ages past, Cur hope for years to coms, Our shelter from the storm's biast 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 goodness. Be merciful unto us and bless us, as, stricken with overwhelming sorrow, we come to thee Forgive us for our doubts and fears and falter- ing faith; pardon all our sins and shortcom- ings and ‘help us to say “Thy will be done.” In this dark night of grief abide with us till the dawning. Speak to our troubled souls, O God, and give to us in this hour of unutterable griel the peace and quiet which thy presence only can afford. We thank thee that thou | answerst the sobbing sigh of the heart and re us that if a man die he shall live We praise thee for Jesus Christ, thy our Savior and son, came ‘“‘to bring life and immortal and because he lives we shall | elder brother, that to light' also. We that “‘to die thank thee that death is vi ory; is gain" Have mercy upon us in this dis. pensation of thy providence. We believe in thee—we trust thee—our God of life, “the same yesterday, and to-day, and forever.” We thank thee for the unsullied life of thy servant, our martyred President, whom thou hast taken to his coronation. and we pray for the final triumph of all the divine principles of pure character and free government for which he stcod while he iived and which were baptized by his blood In his death. Hear our prayer for biessings of consolation upon all those who wera associated with him in the administration of affairs of the Goy- ernment. Especially vouchsafe thy presénce to thy servant who has been suddenly assume the holy responsibllity of ou. magistrate. O God, bless our dear nation and gulde the ship of ‘state through stormy seas; help thy people to be brave to fizht the batiles of the Lord amd wiee to solve all the problems of freedom. 4 Graciouely hear us for comforting hlessings to rest on the family circle of our departed friend. Tenderly sustain thine handmaiden, upon whom the blow of this sorrow most heav- ily falls. Accompany her. O God, as thou hast promised through thix dark valley and shadow, and may she fear no evil bzcause thou art with her. All these things we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, who has taught us when we pray to say ‘‘Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy 1 come; thy will be dene cn carth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and me. Thy kingdom forgive us our trespassex as we forgive those who_trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom and tke poweér and the glory forever. Amen.'" May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, the Father and communion of the holy spinit be with us all evermore. Amen. Funeral Cortege Leaves the House. All present joined in the Lord’s prayer as the minister repeated it. President Roosevelt's voice was audible at the back of the room. The service concluded with a simple benediction. The funeral director was about to step forward to place the cover on the casket when suddenly there was a movement behind Governor Qdell. Senator Hanna, who had risen, saw that the last opportunity to look into the face of his dead friend had come. Pressing for- ward, in an instant he was at the side of the casket and bending over and looking down into it. Almost tw6 minutes passed and then he turned away and the coffin was closed. Colonel Bingham signaled the body- bearers. Four sailors, two infantry ser- geants.and {wo artillery sergeants bore the casket aloft and onut of the house. The President, Cabinet and the others followed it. Mrs. McKinley and the members of the family remained. The widow had passed through the ordeal bravely and without breaking dawn. The trainéd nurses and the personal attendants of the President gathered on the side porch to see the body taken away. It was within a minute of 11:30 o'clock when_three long rolls of a muffled drum told those outside the house that the fune- ral cortege was about to avpear. From the darkenéd rooms the-assemblage began to file out to the sireet. Soon the walks and lawns were again covered with the .silent, throng, with heads bared. At the moment the casket appeared “Nearer, My God, to Thee"” ascended in subdued strains from one of the military bands. Tenderly the bearers lowered the casket from their shoulders and placed it in the hearse. The notes of Chopin’s funeral dirge sue- ceeded the strains of the hymn. The sol- diers and sailors swung into long columns and took up the march southward toward the City Hall 7 President Precedes the Henrse. President Roosevelt came from the house ost immedigtely following the casket and arm in arm with Secretary Root, moved through the aisle of people. He entered the first carriage with Mr. Root and Attorney General Postmaster General Smith, who had fol- Odell, sinking far down into his_chair and | Knox and | lowed. The Presidential carriage fell in immediately back of the military escort. Following in the second carriage were Sec retary Long, Secretary Hitcheock, Secre- tary Wilson and Secretary Cortelyou. Ma- jor General Brooke was in the third car- riage and Rev. Dr. Locke and his wife in the fourth. In this order four car- riages preceded the hearse. After these four carriages there was a clear space of one hundred feet and_then came tha hearse bearing the dead President. At the head of each of the leading horses a po- lice officer walked with hand at the bridie. On each side of the hearse walked a de- tachment of soldiers and sailors, four picked men from the army and marine corps on the right and as many more bluejackets, under Lieutenant Eberly on the left. Immediately back of the hearse marched a score of G. A. R. veterans, who had been assigned to“this position of honor. In the carrlage following the Grand Army marchers rode Senator Hanng, Gov- ernor Odell, Senators Fairbanl and Kean. Senator Burrows, Director General Buchanan and two exposition officials oc- cupied the next. Then came Colonel Bing- hdm and Major Thomas W. Symonds, who has been the active representative of the War Department here since the shoot- ing occurred. The White House staff who were so closely identified with the late President rode together. Mayor Diehl of Buffalo and city officers and members of the City Council were the last of the officla} mourners in the cortege, them followed a long line of carriages oc- cupied by thosé who had been near the President officially and_personaily, and who followed more as friends than as offi- clals. None of the members of the family entered the carriages. Heavy Rainstorm Deluges Mourners. As the funeral cortege moved south on Delaware avenue toward the City Hall it passed through a great concourse of peo- ple filling’ the walks and cross streets and crowding housetops, windows and every available space of the buildings along the line of march. As the escort of soldiers swung into Frankfort street a few drops, of rain fell., The long line of troops tooK their positions at attention facing the City Hall. The carriages containing meti- bers of the Cabinet hurried up to the en- trarce., The last of the carrlages was the one bearing President Roosevelt. Rel ing" his hat, the President stepped from the vehicle and walked into the vest] when the hearse appeared. The four horses were led slowly o the entrance and stopped. The band, some distance away, began ‘“Nearer, My God, to Thee.” At the same instant precisely the rain camé down in sheets and, driven along by a southwest zale off the waters of Lake Erie, tore across City Hall Square. . The casket was lifted from the hearse to the shoulders of the sallors and ma- rines and was borne into Buffalo's official home. Outside there was not a man, so far s could be seen, who did not stand, defying the elements, with hat removed, respecting his - dead President. Inside, with steps impressively slow and meas- ured, the bearers made theifr way to the catafalque. A moment later arnd the body of President McKinley was lying in state. | The scheme of the interior drapings was unique and most artistically carried out., City Hall Draped in Mourning. Entering the main vestibule from Franklin street the vision was greeted with the graceful sweep of festoonssof black and white cashmere. The drapery ascended from the floor to the ceiling and dropped to the moldings, where it was® caught in bows of deep black, thence to follow downward the contour of the build- ing. A mammoth column situated halt way between the side wals- of the vesti- bule served to develop tl arches. The column itself, reaching to the, ceiling; be- came a monument of mourning in its garb of black. Color was lent by large pictures of the martyred President, fast- ened on either side of the column, while champion pieces of like dimensions adorned the walls. Many yards of drapery ‘converted the rectangular spaces demar- cated by the column and the walils 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 Bufialo's people by the thou- | sands paid their last respectf. Leaving the arches, the elevator shafts on either side were literally hidden from view be- hind a perfect sea of black. Above the central point of the corridor, directly under the floor walls, was fashioned 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 alternated with | the somber of the black, reaching down | in French drapes beautiful simplicity. impressive grandeur were four of country's flags, so hung as to burst forth into a cross. Banks of Palms Surround Catafalque. Below on the tiled floor of the corridor rested the catafalque. It was covered with the same costly cashmere, by six knots of generous proportions of satin material. 1ts head rose eighteen inches from the floor and made a gentle angle, allowing the bier to slope to the foot, ' Stairways flanked two sides of the corridor. The balustrades were .hidden from view beneath the conventional garb of mourning. Mounting the _stairway posts were chandeliers ot six lights, burn- ing low. < The arms of the chandeliers were wound with black and white, with altar crossi A radiator|was swallowed up in a mass of funeral'color, and back of this im- promptu altar there spread out space not unlike a chancel, all 1n black and white. Behind it all floated another American flag of generots proportions. The inclos- ure for the catafalque w: irrounded by banks of palms. Thgre were pandans, arccas, kintias, bay trees, phoenix, incla- nata and ratfia, worked into the general 'heme of decoration. 'T'here was but one { floral piece. This was a conutribution om the French Socipty of Buffalo. 1t consisted of two flags, United States and French, on standards of the drapings or purple and black, caught in the beak of a pure white dove, framed in the words, “With Sympathy and Regret.” ‘This design occupied the central place with _festooning of Dropping down in in the southern line of palms. Later | superb pleces irom the Milburn house reached the City Hail and were given places in the system of decorations. O striking beauty was a white wreath, bear- ing in immortelles the name ‘‘Chile.” Circled about the bier was a distinguished company. To the left stood President Roosevelt, at his left ...orney General Knox. Then came’ Secretary Lohg and Secretary Wilton. Across to the right Secretary Cortelyou stood. With him werc Secratary Reot, Secretary Hitchcgek and Postiaster General Smith.

Streamers of dauble-faced satin _ribbon, white and - black, were stretched from the hanus of the soldiers and sallors, a mark to be respected by the throngs. At 12:25 o’clock the police were notified that the body. could be viewead by the peo- ple. A minute later and the first of the long line came through the doors. , Sol- emnly they moved on past the bier to view the face of the President. Old men and weak women and stronsg men and children, leaders of men and la- borers, all were represented in the throng that filed past. During the first hour the people passed the catafalque at the rate of 156 a minute, and at the end of the first \hour it was estimated that 5000 per- sons ‘had passed the bier. Outside the lines were amazing in_thelr dimensions, solid masses of people stretching for haif a mile in either direction. Distinguished persons took their places in the line at 3 o’clock. 4 Throughout the long hours of the after- noon there was never a cessation of the moving stream of people. In the early hours the function was rendered disagree- able by a violent rain, but at 5 o'clock the heavens cleared. The crowds grew larger. and it was decided to leave the City Hall open indefinitely. On through the evening the great crowd continued and at 10 o'clock to-night there seemed to be no end to it.
