FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20,1901.

is to bo devoutly hoped that never ag.'ln in our national history will there be an occasion for the-trial of an assassin of a ruler. If such an occasion should come, however, our laws should be so framed that the wretch can be disposed of by court martial within a few hours after his hellish deed.

THE Maryland Union League club has expelled Senator Wellington for his utterances at the time of President McKinley's assassination, and many southern papers are urging that he be also expelled from the senate if this can be done. Meanwhile Marylanders are advertising as much as they can the fact that Wellington does not come of the real old native stock.

IT IS reported that George M. Hay, the Shelbyville editor whose long continued career of criminality, finally landed him behiDd the bars, is making a "strenuous effort to be released from prison." We commend to the prison board and the governor the propriety of making just as strenuous effort to keep him in. When George M. Ray is in -lie penitentiary society is decidedly bettor oil.

SECRETARY GAGE has purchased, under his offer of September 10, about seven million dollars worth of long term bonds to relieve, as far as may be, the stringency of the money market. The treasury people had considerable fun the other day over the offer of a prominent Wall street house to sell Secretary Gage municipal bonds to the amount of ten million dollars. Secretary Gage seemed to think that a New York broker ought to have known better.

THE Indianapolis Seutinel continues, after the death of President McRinley, to misrepresent his policy and his administration. Such action on the part of the Sentinel is not surprising, however. If one turns to the files of this sheet for the period covering the civil war Jt will find its editorial columns reeking with malicious and vicious abuse and misrepresentation of Abraham Lincoln. Doubtless thirty years from now the Sentinel will be claiming that William McKinley wa9 a Democrat and will be lauding his memory to the skies.

IN 1891 when the Republicans lost control of the board of commissioners, the county was out of debt and the levy for county purposes was only twentyfive cents. The Democrats when they got control began running up the levy Ami a big debt at tbe sarre time. When the Republicans got control again the people were grunting under a debt of $123,000 and a levy of over forty cents. The debt has been entirely wiped out tinder Republican management of affairs and the levy is being reduced gradually to where it was when disaster was precipitated on the county by the infamous Goben regime.

LOUISVILLE Tinas: Beneath the grief of the southern people—as deep and heartfelt as the sorrow of the dead President's nearest neighbors and friends—rises one note of thankfulness —that the murder was not done upon him during one of his visits south of the Ohio river. Short shrift would have been the assassin's portion, but that would have been no consolation to the majority of our people, who, opposed to him politically, have learned to respect, honor and revere him as a great-hearted gentleman and a President of all the people, regardless of sectionalism or narrow bias.

Buffalo. Kept. 10.--Buffalo became a city of mourners Sunday. Tin gay and tlaming decorations of tin: l'anAmerican exposition gave way to the symbol of sorrow. The black drapery of the city's streets mullled the tolling beils of the churches. Bits of crepe appeared on every sleeve. The sorrow was everywhere apparent^

In the morning a simple servit-e took. 1 lace at the residence on Delaware avenue where the martyred president (lied. A hymn was sung and prayer was offered ovc.v the dead body. That was all. Only the immediate family and the friends and political associates of the late president were present. The scene was pathetic In the extreme. The service was directed by Kev. Charles Kdward Locke of the Delaware Avenue Methodist Episcopal church. 'The pastor who was to conduct. the service was at the door leading into the hall, a station whence his words could Lie heard at the head of the stairs, where sat Airs. McKinley, Burronndud by a few close friends. 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 AIcKinley's favorite hymn. Everyone within sound of the music kuew it and half of those in the room put their faces hi their 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 was insecure.

When the singing was ended the clergyman read from the word of the 15th chapter of First Corinthians. AH had risen as he began aud 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 lie died. As the music died away the pasior spoke again: "Let us pray," lie said, and every head fell upon its breast. He began liis invocation with a stanza from the hymn "O God, our help in ages past." and closed with the Lord's Prayer, in which latter all present joined as the minister repeated it. President Roosevelt's voice being audible at the back of the room. The service concluded with a simple benediction. Then the body was borne out to the waiting cortege on the brawny shoulders of eight sailors and soldiers of the republic.

The cortege passed through solid walls of living humanity, bareheaded aud grief-stricken, to the city hall, where the body lay in state all afternoon. There a remarkable demonstration occurred which proved how close the

§Ie.

resident was to the hearts of the peoilTangementtljau beeff^ade to allow the public to view the body from the time It arrived, at about 1:30 o'clock, until about 5 o'clock. But the people were wedged into the streets for blocks. Two lines were formed. They extended literally for miles. When o'clock came 40,000 people had already passed and the crowds waiting below in the streets 6eemed undiminished. It was decided to extend the time until midSight. Then for hours longer the streets were dense with people and a constant stream flowed up the steps of the broad entrance into the ball and passed the bier. When the doors had closed at midnight it was estimated that 80.000 people had viewed the remains. but thousands of disappointed ones were still in the streets.

The body continued to lie In the city hall until this morning. It was then taken to the station by a military escort, and at 8:30 the funeral train, consisting of seven carsi started for Washington "over the Pennsylvania railroad, Mrs. McKinley, the president, the cabinet and relatives and friends of the dead president accompanying the remains, MTB. McKinley bore up bravely during the service at the Milburn residence, and Dr. Ilixey, her physician, thinks she will lie able to support her trying part in the state funeral at Washington.

STATEMENT OF PHYSICIANS

Bullet Wounds Caused Gangrene, Which Resulted In Death. Buffalo, Sept. 1G.—The gangrenous condition of the inward wounds which caused the death of President McKinley has led to a surmise that the assassin's bullets may have been poisoned, and an investigation will be made of the bullets which remained in the revolver used by O.olgosz. The report of the autopsy upon the remains of President McKinley follows: "The bullet which struck over the breast bone did not pass through the skin and did little harm. The other bullet passed through both walls of the stomach near its lower portion. Both Utiles were found to be perfectly

cloned by tlie stitches, but the tissue around each hole had become gangrenous. After passing through the ftoiuacli the bullet passed into the back walls of the abdomen, hitting nud tearing the upper end of the kidney. This portiou of the bullet track was also gangrenous,.the gangrene involving the pancreas. The bullet has not yet beeen found. There was no sign of peritonitis or disease of other organs. The heart walls were very thin. There was no evidence of any attempt at repair on the part of nature. and (loath resulted from the gangrene, which affected the stomach around the bullet wounds as well as the tissues around the further course oi' the bullet. Death was unavoidable by any surgical or medical treatment and was the direct, result of the bullet wound."

CORTELYOU'S DEVOTION

—nggajjw**

THE CRAWFORDSYILLE WEEKLY JOURNAL.

Secretary Killed a Place Which Call* crl for .Host Delicate Judgment. Buffalo, Sept. 10.—'The devotion to duty of Private Secretary George B. Cortelyou during the long, painful days that came between the shooting and the death of President McKinley offers one of the most striking features of the historic tragedy.

When the chief fell wounded Secretary Cortelyou was practically forced to fill a part of the vacant place and assume all of its responsibilities. Ho was at the side of the president when Leon C/.olgosz fired the murderous Bhots, and upon him rested the immediate responsibility ol' issuing the order for the surgical operation that was performed at the emergency hospital.

When Mr. McKinley came from the operating table it fell to Mr. Cortelyou to make the arrangements for his shelter and care, and from that time to the end he was called upon to pass judgment upon every grave question that arose, except the technical, medical and surgical matters in connection with the case of the wounded chieftain. He stood between the sickroom and the world as far as information on the progress of the ease was concerned, and the place called for the most delicate judgment.

In addition to his official connection with the dying president it was his duty to supervise all of the private personal affairs of his superior. The exactions of his position kept him on his feet for three days after t.he president was shot, and from then until the last the rest lie got he took in brief periods of rarely over two hours' duration.

In addition to the work which he could do by verbal direction the executive correspondence by mail and wire trebled aud quadrupled. It exceeded that of any other period in the public life of Mr. McKinley, including the days that sueceded both liis first and second elections: It seemed that Mr. Cortelyou must fail in the mere ph yslcal task of handling it, but no physical exaction seemed too great for him.

Newspaper men who watched and waited with him were driven by sheer exhaustion to seek refreshment, but be went on with iron endurance that never failed. Fatigue did not impair his clear judgment or alter the perfect poise of his personal bearing. He was ever calm and ever courteous to the thousands of persons with whom he came in contact. His personal affection for his chief was complete, and the president's death was a grievous shock to him. He has not faltered. however, and still stands in the place that he must occupy until the last offices have been performed at the grave of Mr. McKinley.

England's Sympathy.

London, Sept. 10.—It would be almost impossible to record in detail the remarkable outburst of sympathy in Great Britain and her colouies over the death of President MeKiuley, proofs of which are continually arriving here. Not only has King Edward commanded the court to go into mourning for one week, but wherever a public meeting of any kind lias been held, or wherever a public man has had occasion to speak,, expressions of horror and sympathy have been heard. In every place of public worship Sunday, from St. Paul's cathedral and Canterbury cathedral down, the preachers made special references to the terrible event, invoking God's blessing upon the United States and the American people. Cralthe church at Balmoral, whose bells had never before been used except on occasions of national interest, broke the custom and announced the event to the neighborhood,

Masfsjio Was Not Lynched. Albuquerque, N, M., Sept. 10.—Humors were afloat that the citizens of Silver City, where the anarchist Antonio Magglo is in jail, took the prisoner, on hearing of the death of Pres ident McKinley, aud hung him to a Cottonwood tree near tiie jail. United States Marshal Foraker wired Sheriff Goodell for facts, and the sheriff an swered that there is absolutely no truth in the report. There are no thrats of violence. Maggie fears he will be lynched, and Sheriff Goodell has been instructed by the United States authorities to take all precautions to protect the prisoner should an atteiup* af the kind be made.
