Dr. T. J. Lacey, spoke feelingly of the late President in the presence of a large congregation. The was decorated th flags and mourning drapings and the service, which was authorized by Bishop Nicholls, was deeply affecting and impressive. The Rev. Edwin Johnson, the assistant rector, pre- sided over the services. Dr. Lacey’s text was taken from II Samuel 1i1:38. He said in part: There is a great man fallen this day in Israel. We come together in the shadow of a great national calamity. The land is in mourning. The streets that scarce four months ago. were decorated in bright colors in honor of the nation’s ruler in our midst are now draped in black. The world shares and as if in witness to the of the Anglo-Saxon race the flags are masted over Westminster Abbey, and the heart of the multitude goes out in tender sympathy to her who is now widowed. In the passing of the President we have lost one who embodied in his own character the highest ideals of American manhood—courage, purity, integrity, sturdy patriotism. Every mother in this land could point her boy to the President and find in him a pattern worthy of imitation. McKinley's legacy to the young men of America is his strong, noble,’ Christian character. It is the very beauty of the man’s char- acter, his fidelity and devotion to the people that makes the tragedy at Buffalo so das- tardly. It is not the striking down of a tyrant nor the removal of an oppressor. It was not even the avenging of an injury. Anarchists are banded together for the ex- prese purpose of destroying everything that mekes for righteousness and happiness and prosperity. Anarchy Is nothing else than a mustering of the forces of evil to wipe out all that is good—law, religion and morality From his sick chamber at Buffalo Mc- Kinley preached the most eloguent sermon ever heard by the American people. Mil- burn house was a_pulpit whence he spoke to the whole world of patience, confidence and submission to God, and his last utter- ance will go down into history as a fitting exponent of the nobility of the man. Reference to the assassination of the President was made by the Rev. Frank 8 Brush, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, in his morning sermon. In part he said: We can see here good—incalculable good— come to our nation through the assassina- tion of Abraham Lincoln. He thus became our ‘Martyred President,” a great, sad vigion - to lead our nation out of the strife of war into the better ways of peace. The death of Garfield softened all“hearts and also awakened feelings of kinship with the peoples of Europe, and especially with our English cousins. So God brings good, out of _evil. 3 Who shall say but that the Americit na- tion needed some such tragedy as this? We have been mimost drunk with success. The simpler, -soberer days of a generation ago have heen forgotten. Corruption, sel- fishness and luxury bave entered into our national life. The Christian death of our noble President is.a call for a higher, a truer, 2 more reverent citizenship. More- over," we have been playing with fire. - We have tolerated the moxt bitter partisan spirit. We have played>with the dark pas- sions of envy and hate. “Can a man take fire ‘to hie bosom and his clothes and not be burned? It is time to give the géntle, genial spirit of Willlam McKinley full §way in our land. Thus not knowing just what such a traged: are hid in God, we still can hope and trust that out of this dark hour good shall come to our beloved nation, ‘and it remains for us to reverently say, “‘God's will be done.” GUNS MOURNFULLY Bo_o:( AT PRESIDIO Formal Salute Is ¥ired at Half-Honr Intervals During the Day - at Reservation. Those who visited the Presidio yester- day expecting to see a display of mili- tary pomp and ceremony on account of the death of President McKinley were | sadly disappointed. Thousands visited the | reservation, but s booming of big guns and the flying of | the garrison flag at half mast there was | nothing out of the ordinary. Saturday’ night Colonel Rawles, post commandant, received orders from the War Department at Washington instruct- ing him to fire guns throughout the day |at half-hour intervals. The firing com- menced at sunrise and continued until the sun sank below the western horizon. No other ceremony marked the day and the usual routine of post work went on with- out interruption. Instructions are expected from Wash- ington at any moment regarding the plan to be followed on Thursday, the day set for the late President’s funeral. It is usual on such occasions to parade all available troops, read to them an an- nouncement of the death of the President and fire such salutes as may be ordered by the Secretary of War or the. com- manding general. The regulations do not prescribe any set plan, except as to the firing of half-hour guns, and in conse- quence the senior military commander does not know what may be ordered for that occasion. GENERAL JAMES SMITH'S RECEPTION POSTPONED Distinguished Visitors Will Go Out, However, and Welcome Him From Tugs. The committee appointed to prepare a reception to General James Smith, former colonel of the First California Volunteers. met yesterday at the California Hotel and decided to postpone all arrangements for the reception of the distinguished soldier on account of the death of President Mc- Kinley until after the regulation period of mourning: The only form of welcome to General Smith will be the dispatch of a number of tugs carrying distinguished visitors to give a rousing welcome to him on the sighting of the transport Grant. The ship is expected to-morrow. The tugs Mark- ham and Irwin and the steamer Caroline will be used. The reception committee passed the following resolution yesterday: Whereas, Willlam McKinley, President of the United States, has been removed from our midst by the hand of a cowardly assassin; and Whereas, Our late beloved President has by his strong personality, kindly disposition and devoted patriotism endeared himself to the hearts of all Americans. Resolved, That this committee deeply deplores the great foss that has been inflicted upon the nation. Resolved, That all arrangements heretofore contemplated or made of a demonstrative char- acter be postponed until after the usual period of mourning. COLONEL T. F. O'NEILL, COLONEL CHARLES BOXTON, COLONEL 1. E. BECK, COLONEL J. 1. BURGIN, MAJOR DAN C. DEASY, D. Q. TROY. Holds Impressive Service. At the Central Methodist Church last night solemn memorial services were held. The occasion was one of unusual solemn- ity, not only because of the heartfelt sorrow which was displayed over the un- timely death of the nation's first citizen, but because the pulpit was filled by Dr. Thomas B. Neely, D. D., LL. D., of Penn- sylvania, who_is considered one of the leaders of the Methodist denomination. In keeping with the occasion, the music was afiproprintely solemn and impressive. The church was filled to its greatest capacity. Dr. Neely in his sermon pointed out the principal events in the life of McKinley and paid an eloquent and touching tribute to his virtues and noble characteristics as a man, as a husband and as a citizen. In his death he declared that the nation and the world had sustained a loss which would not be soon filled. He stated that the uympath?' of the nation was with the sorrowing wife in this, her hour of grief. In tracing the Presfdent's course through life” he called attention to th fact that he had risen to the highes! g::itlon in the gift of the American people m a very humble beginning. In speak- ing of the foul deed of the assassin he condemned it as an act of insane violence and declared that laws should be guarding against such acts in the future. for the occasional | MUNDAY, MAMMA foka AN ACCOUNTING Mrs. E. H. Roberts Fol- lows Son-in-Law From St. Louis. Attorney Paul Winton Must Give Explanation About His Wife’s Money. Mrs. E. H. Roberts of Robertsville, Mo., was in no sweet state of mind when she arrived yesterday afternoor. at the Palace Hotel. She was in search of her son-in- law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Paul ‘Winton, who recently came here from St. Louis, and who are at present quar- tered at the Colonial Hotel on Nob Hill. ‘Winton is a young attorney of St. Louis and has been married a year and nine months. He and his wife recently paid a visit, to the Pan-American Exposition. They returned to St.” Louis and left for this city twelve hours afterward. In his excursion Winton failed to live up to the code of parental respect by visiting his mother-in-law, who was then on a trip to New York. When Mrs. Roberts- re- turned to St._Louis she found the couple had left for San Francisco to reside there permanently. Winton had left all his business affairs in the hands of an agent. Mrs. Roberts promptly followed her son- in-law to this city. She was unable to find his address and complained in loud tones in the hotel office that she had not been treated fairly. She said that she wanted' to have Winton give a full ac- count of his stewardship. -Mrs. Roberts claimed that when Winton married her daughter a snug wedding dowry was turned over to her, which consisted of real estate and Government bonds. *I intend to find out what he has done with my daughter's money,” Mrs. Roberts said. ter in the cvening Winton came from the Colonial and called-on Mrs. Roberts. at-the Palace. “Well, well; this is a surprise to see you here,” said Winton. replied Mrs. Rob- “Yes, 1 guess it is,” erts, significanily. "“I would have trav- eled all over the United States till I found Sl Winton' diplomatically tried to pass It off as a huge joke, but Mrs. Roberts falled to seeswhere the laugh came in. ‘Winton said iast evening that his father was at one time Mayor of East St. Louis. He says that he did not leave St. Louls suddenly on account of any financial dif- ficulties. He also claims that his wife's estate remains intact. “‘Mrs. Roberts, you know.” he said, “is just showing a motherly interest. 1 have come to Calffornia to locate and practice law. I have two cousins in the legal pro- fession in this State—A. A. Moore Jr, of Oakland, who married Florence Blythe Hinckley, and Attorney O'Melveney of Los Angeles.” In the meantime Mrs. Roberts moved bag and baggage to the Colonial, and as she left the Palace last night she insisted | upon her son-in-law giving a detailed ac- count of all his wife's property. This, ‘Winton says, he is not bound to do, and declares his mother-in-law is overstepping her authority when she demands fit. [ J + C e FINDING OF BODY CLEARS MYSTERY Stella Cook of Chicago Not a Victim of Foul Play. CHICAGO, Sept. 15.—With the finding in the water at the foot of Peck street to- day of the body of M. G. Vanderburg, a wealthy resident of the Netherlands, an associate of American capitalists and a guest at the Auditorium Annex, the mys- terious death of Stella Cook last Tuesday night was cleared. Miss Cook was not murdered, according to the present belief of the police, but lost her life with Mr. Vanderburg by the overturning of a boat in which they were rowing. The discovery of the Hollander's body not only cleared the murder mystery, but dispelled the cloud of suspicion that has settled about Harry Thurston, cook on the steamer City of Traverse, and com- papion of the dead girl. hurston, who is held on a warrant charging him with guilty knowledge of the girl's disappearance, will probanly be set free, CZOLGOSZ IS TAKEN TO ERIE COUNTY JAIL BUFFALO, &ept. 15.—Assassin Czolgosz was to-day removed from police head- quarters to jail. Czolgosz out of headquarters was theat- rical. Superintendent Bull called a closed carriage and ordered three patrolmen to report to him. He took a policeman’s hel- met and went {0 Czolgasz's cell. He set the helmet on the assassin’s head, took off his own blue coat and said to Czolgosz: “Put that on.” The three policemen and Czolgosz, thus attired, slipped out of the door and into a carriage. The departure was unnoticed. In three minutcs the carriage stopped af the jail entrance, where a half-dozen dep- uty sheriffs surrounded the prisoner and he was hurried to a cell behind three sep- arate sets of iron gates. It will be necessary to have Czolgosz in court at 9 o'clock to-morrow, when the indictment against rim is reported, so that he may plead to the indictment. Czolgosz insists he wants no lawyer and is willing to plead guilty. P2 vt PERSONAL MENTION. J. F. Parks, a mining man of Amador County, is at the Palace.

Always after the ‘‘unbleached American,” the chief novelly of the week is a monster musical instrument, labeled a ‘“giant myriophon™ by its inventor, Mr. Karsy, a sort of bi- cycle and mandolin combined. It is really a wonderful affair, with about twenty-five rotating discs of varying sizes strung with wires, bicycle fashion, set in rows to a height of eight feet or so and played by the inventor and his wife with hands, feet and anything else that comes handy with an effect like a forest of mandolins. They gave the intermezzo from ‘‘Cavalleria Rusticana” “and a “Faust” selection last night to satisfying applause and the ar- tistic setting of the act added not a little to the pleasure it gave. Dorothy Mor- ton, late of comic operaland and a stun- ning sort of person, 18 another new-comer to the Orpheum and sings with much chic and abandon. She was suffering from a slight sore throat last night, but carried off her indisposition with such grace and good humor that she won a place as first tavorite with the sympathetic audience. The Delmore sisters present one of the prettiest tableau series we have seen here, entitled mysteriously “The Bridegroom's Reverie," that is costumed and lighted in | unusually elaborate fashion. The sketch is illustrated with fit and fetching vocal and violin music, but furnished with a very inadequate verbal description by a gentleman who seems to earn his salary smoking cigars.

While the telegraphic notice was sent out last night by Secretary Willlams declaring the strike at an end, it cannot be learned deflnitely that the official or- der has been issued by President Shaffer. Some of the local strikers declare that they have had no such notice. President Shaffer arrived home this morning, but denied himself to callers. To-night his wife sald he had received a special letter to-day calling him out of the city and he cannot be located. The members of the advisory board sald to-night that the order calling the strike off has gone out and that the men gen- erally will return to work to-morrow or within 2 day or two. What is considered the real conditions of the settlement, though not officially an- nounced, are that the ' settlement was made only for three companies in dispute —the American.Tin Plate, the American Sheet Steel and the American Steel Hoop —and those companies are allowed to re- tain as non-union all mills started in any kind of shape since the strike order went into effect. The mills that were com- pletely tied up by the strike are to re- main under the Amalgamated scale, Nothing was said concerning the National Tube, the Federal or Natioral Steel com- panies. The_ settlement means a big loss to the Amalgamated Assoclation, but leaves it still a strong organization. 1t seems impossible to-night to make an estimate of the number of men who will return to work to-morrow. . The threat fs openly made that the tin plate workers will withdraw from the Amalgamated Association and form a sep- arate union of their own. What the outcome generally will be can- not be told for a day or two. All of the plants that have been idle are apparently ready for an early start. Most of them can resume to-morrow if their men report for work. There is much disappointment and an- ger among McKeesport strikers. The leaders refused to credit the published re- ports until late to-night, but practically admit now that all is lost for McKeesport. They blame President Shaffer for not no- tifying them to-day, according to promise, and still look for official notification to- night. It is not believed that resumption will_be attempted until after President McKinley’s funeral. Amalgamated men say they will not go to work till Shaffer orders them. The American Federation Lodge of the | Tube Workers voted the same way to- y. MILWAUKEE, Sept. 15.—Over 100 men who bolted the meeting of the Bayview Amalgamated Lodge a week ago met to- day and decided to apply for work to- morrow at the plant of the Illinois Steel Company. WANTS EASIER DISCIPLINE. Furuseth Asks Lieutenant Price %o “Let Up.” Andrew Furuseth, chairman of the ex- ecutive committee of the City Front Fed- eration, called on lieutenant of Police Priee last night and requested that the patrolmen on duty on the water front be instructed to give the strikers more Wb- erty of action than has been accorded them of late. The orders given to the of- ficers and by them carried out as thor- oughly as possible are to prevent any gatherings of men along the line of docks. Lieutenant Price impressed this order particularly on the officers stationed at those points along the front where sailors from ships in the stream are accustomed to land. A number of the latter have been roughly hancled of late, but since the order to disperse crowds and keep loafers moving has been in effect there has been a marked decrease in the at- tacks. Lieutenant Price informed Furuseth that the order would under no circum- stances be modified until the union men altered their tactics. He said that the po- lice were taking no sides in the present trouble, but that they were there to pre- vent violence and were going to do it. If Furuseth would prevent his men from at- tacking non-union men and visitors from the country there would no longer be necessity for such stringent police precau- tions. The poiice were acting under or- ders. The union men knew what those orders were, and if they suffered as the result of those orders being carried out it was their own fault. “SUICIDE NOTE” FOUND IN RAILWAY STATION Person Signing His Name as F. H. Franklin Says He Has Drowned Himsslf. A message written on the back of a weather bulletin and tacked up in the railway station at Lands End was made the subject of a police investigation yeés- terday. The note was signed by a per- son purporting to be F. H. Franklin and contained the announcement that the writer had committed suicide. It con- tained a request that Mrs. Ecks of 1130 Buchanan street be informed of the writer's death.
