The Uody ol' Clinton's Illustrious Citizen iNmv Lies In Slate In (lie Court House I here.

Canton, Ohio, Sept. IS.—The last homecoming of President McKiniey marks a day of gloom fur cauum.. In oilier days she has welcomed him with cheers, wisii waving banners ami triumphal inarches. Today she received him in silence, with streets liung wiih solemn black, and wiili the Availing imtcs of. dirges. Cautou is shrouded in black, and so she will remain nniii the body of her best loved son lias been committed to the vault In West l.awn cemetery.

Upon its arrival at. It o'clock this forenoon ilit- funeral train was met by members of the local reception ami executive committees, by hundreds of the personal friends of President McKinley ami by the following gentlemen who had been selected from "Washington to act as honorary pall 1 .«irers during the services in Canlun: John C.

All were intimate friends of the president during his lifetime.

Troop A of Cleveland acted as escort In the march from the Pennsylvania depot to the courthouse where the body is lying in state. There was no attempt at forming a column, the cavalry led the way, the hearse drawn by four coal-black horses following, and then came the carriages bearing the members of the family and the distinguished visitors.

The casket was placed in the rotunda of the courthouse and the doors were opened to allow the citizens of Canton the opportunity of paying their last tribute of respect to tlie dead president. Large detachments of militia and police are present to facilitate the handling and the movement of the crowds, and as the time allowed for the casket in the courthouse is considered none too long, every effort is being made to expedite matters. The crowd was formed in line, four abreast, at the south door of the courthouse, the line extending westward on West. Tuscarawas street.

Until 0 o'clock tonight the body will remain in the courthouse, and immediately after that hour it will be taken to the family residence on North Market: street. Canton Post G. A. Ii., composed almost entirely of members of President McKinley's old regiment, the 23rd Ohio, will escort the body to ,tlie house. Karly on the morning of

Thursday the body will be returned to the courthouse and again lie in state until it is time to leave for the First Methodist church, whore the funeral exercises are to commence at 2 o'clock. The time allowed for the entire exercises in the clnircli is -15 minutes. The services will be simple. A discourse by Rev. C. H. Manchester of the First Methodist eiw.irch, a prayer by Kev. O. F. Milligan of the Presbyterian church, and a Scripture reading. A quartet will sing "Lead. Kindly /Light." At the conclusion of tlie services in the church the slow march to the cemetry will be taken up.

The casket: will be placed in the receiving vault, but before it is placed inside, the casket will bo rested upon supports standing upon the stone walk leading to the vault. This will be for the purpose of allowing those who have taken part in the parade and w'-o have boon prevented by their duties from being present at the courthouse, to have an opportunity of viewing tli'1 remains. If the present program carried out, the casket will remain on the walk outside the vault fro in one to two hours. When finally placed inside the vault, a guard will t-e thrown around it, and day and night until its final resting place is prepare.', it will be surrounded by armed men.

HKN KA'l'H THE DOM 10

Impressive Tribute At Washington to Martyred President. Washington, Sept. IS.—Tim nation has officially and with state ceremony, paid its tributes of respect and love to tlie memory of its chief magistrate. Tliis was almost the closing act in the awful tragedy which has drenched the civilized world in tears. Beneath the great white dome of the eapitol funeral services of state were held yesterday over the remains of the dead president. It was eminently fitting that the. services should be conducted in that beautiful rotunda hallowed by the history of the last sad rites of two other martyrs to the cause of the republic. As belitted the occasion and the character of the man whose remains were lying cold and rigid in the narrow embrace of the metallic casket, the services were simple.

They were conducted in accordance with the rites of the Methodist Episcopal church, of which President McKiniey was a life-long member. Consisting only of two hymns, a song, a

prayer, an address and :i benediction, they were beautiful and solemnly impressive. Gathered around the bier were representatives of every phase of American national life, including the president and uie only surviving ex-president of the'United States, toget he wiili representatives at this capital of almost every nation of the earth. Great'-.Britain, France. Ge.rmany. Italy ami Spain and all the republics to the southward of 1ho United States mingled their tcais w»th those of the American people

The venerable Bishop lOdwin G. Andrews of Ohio, the oldest bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church, standing at the head of the bier, made the address. A:- gentle breeze, through the rotunda stirred the delicate blooms which lay upon the coUin, and the "peace that passeih'all understanding" seemed to rest upon the -venerable man's countenance as he began his eulogy of the life and works of William McKinloy. His words were simple, but ins wnole heart was in--ov^ry

one of them. Mis tribute to the Christian fortitude of the dead president was impressive. Upon tlie conclusion of the sermon the audience, as if by proarr.iiigemont, joined the choir in singing "Nearer My God to Tliee," All present seemed to be imbued with a sentiment of resignation as the divine blessing was asked by the Kev. W. II. Chapman, acting pastor of the Metropolitan M. E. church, upon both the living and the dead.

Mrs. .McKiniey did not attend the services at the eapitol. It was deemed wise by those now nearest and dearest to her. that she should not undergo the ordeal. She remained at the. White House, comforted by every attention that loving thoughtfulness could suggest.

At the conclusion of the funeral In the rotunda the casket lid was removed in order that the immediate friends of the dead president might be afforded the comfort of a last glance at his features, and that the people whom he loved and who loved him might pass the bier for tlie same purpose. At half past 12 o'clock the crowds began to pass through the rotunda. and during the six hours in which the body was lying in state, it is estimated that Go,000 people viewed the remains.

When the remains of the. dead president were finally closed forever to the view of Washington people the cavalry escort again was formed and convoyed tlicni to the special train for Canton. Three sections comprising in all 20 passenger coaches, were necessary to accommodate all those who accepted invitations to make the journey to Canton.

Mrs. SfcKinley's Condition. Washington, Sept. IS.—The friends of Mrs. McKiniey are seriously alarmed about her. They speak with grave apprehension of the days that are soon to come when she will be borne up no longer by her seuse of duty and tlie sustaining force of her desire to perform her full part in the ceremonies that the national character and tragic eud of her husband made appropriate, it is believed that she will be able to go through the services at Canton, but subsequently a collapse is greatly fea red.

CHINA IN CIIAHGK

Foreign Troops l'oiiiiully Kvucnate I'eivin. Pekin, Sept. 18.—'The Chinese troops re-entered PeUiu yesterday. The Americans and Japanese simultaneously handed over tlie forbidden cities to ilie Chinese authorities.

The evacuation was picturesque. Tlie Japanese and American troops were drawn up at the inner gate. Several hundred Chinese, civil and military officials, in brilliant costumes, diplomats, officers and ladies were massed ou the plaza outside. Prince Cliing and General Chiang, the governor of Pekin, met the Japanese and Americans and thanked them for the protection they had afforded the palace. General Yamani and Major Robertson replied, the Japanese and Chinese bands playing, and the foreigners marched out through the gates they had battered in over a year ago. Then the Chinese unfurled their Hags and distributed their forces at the various gates.

The Chinese officials "banqueted the Japanese last evening. The Americans were invited to bo pt'eseut but declined, owing to the death of President McKiniey.

Washington, Sept. 18.—President Roosevelt late yesterday afternoon convened his tirst cabinet meeting held in Washington. At this meeting the president asked the members of Mr. McKinley's cabinet to retain their respective portfolios throughout his terni and announced that his administration would follow the policy outlined by President McKinloy in his Buffalo speech. After the obsequies over the late 'president the cabinet, at President Roosevelt's request, assembled at the residence of Commander CJowlos. where the president is staying until after r.he funeral, principally for the purpose- of informing their", now chief of the slate of affairs in their respective departments. The president desired to learn if there were any matters of moment requiring his attention before his departure last night for Canton. He was assure.1, that there was nothing of pressing importance. The president met his advisers collectively as lie had previously done individually, requesting them all to retain their respective positions in liis cabinet. Mr. Roosevelt expressed the hope and expectation that every member would' serve throughout his term, for, said he, lie tendered appointments as if lie had just been elected to the presidency and was forming an original cabinet.. The president said, however, there was one difference between the present tender and that of an original offer, namely, under the present circumstances they were not at liberty to decline. Upon being asked by a member if resignations should be formally presented in the usual manner, the president answered that his action at this meeting had precluded the necessity of presenting resignations. The discussion turned upon the policy of the administration. and Mr. Roosevelt announced that lie regarded the speech of tlie late president at the Buffalo Pau-

Anieriean exposition, the day before lie was shot as outlining tlie policies of his own administration. Jt cannot be learned at this time whether or not all tin-, members will be willing, to serve the nil! term. W!:

The cabinet members,!with th0"oxception of Secretaries Hay and Long, accompanied the remains of the dead president to Canton to participate in the funeral ceremonies on Thursday.

Mr. Bryan recalls the pathetic scenes at I the deathbed and continued: "The terrible Buffalo, rudely breaking the tics or family and friendship, and hoi \i every patriotic oilk'.en, crowns 'xiraoi'.liuary life with a halo ..that cannot but. exalt its victim's place in history. 11 is bravery during the trying ordeal, his forgiving spirit and his fortitude in the linal hours give .glimpses of his inner life I which noshing loss tragic could have .revealed.

Kiniey, the president, that melts T.V 000.000 hearts into one. and brings a liush to the farm, the factory and the forum, leath is the inevitable incident of every human career. It despises the sword and shield of the warrior, a.nd laughs at the precautions suggested by science. Wealth cannot build walls high enough or thick enough to shut it out, and no house is humble enough to escape its visitation. "Even love, the most potent, force known to man. love, the characteristic which links-the human to the divine, even love is powerless in its presenct Its contingency is recognized in the marriage vow, 'until death us do part,' and is written upon friendship's r'm But the death, even when produced by natural causes, of a public servant, charged with tlie tremendous responsibilities which press upon a. president shocks the entire country and is infinitely multiplied when the circum stances attending constitute an attack upon the government itself. "No one can estimate the far-reach

Ing effect of such an act as that which now casts a gloom over our land. It shnmes America in the eyes of the world it: impairs her moral prestige and gives enemies of free governine a chance to mock at her, and it excites an indignation which, while righteous In itself, may lead to acts which will partake of the spirit of lawlessness As the president's death overwhelm? all in a common sorrow, so it impost a common responsibility, namely, so to avenge the wrong done to the presi dent, his family and the country, as to make the executive life secure."

Britons' Intimate of Ilooscvelt. Loudon, Sept. IS.—Further t'amili arity with the idea of Mr. Roosevelt as president is having its natural result in dissipating doubts entertained .as to the effect of his succession upon the foreign policy of the United States. At any rate it is becomin generally conceded in Great Britain that the United States have obtained a president of great distinction of character. The exposition of his policy Sunday is the subject of general commout. The Daily Graphic, which points out that the president of the United States occupies a more powerful position than any sovereign in Christendom, with the possible exception of the German emperor and the czar of Russia, sums up his policy as "that of a sane imperalist devoted to the advancement and glory of his country, without wronging others."

The Morning Post in an editorial says: "He is a persontication of the younger generation of Americans who are looking forward rather than dreaming of the past. He is a man who seems made to be a leader of his countrymen in the new time which began with the war with Spain. He will be a president of great initiative, devoted to the national rather than to the party ideal."

Italians Will Act.

New York. Sept. IS.—The executive committee of the Italian Uuitod Societies for the -celebration of the Italian national holiday, has resolved to suspend the celebration of the anniversary of Sept. 20, to delegate special committees to the official and civic funerals of the late President McKiniey, and to start a public subscription "for the erection, of a monument to be placed on one of the public squares in the city in memory of this great martyr of duty."

Goldman Jlunir Jo Kiliijy Kaliimore, Sept. 18.-—Emma CJoldmari, the anarchist, was hanged L«i efli^y from a telegraph pule in the eastern portion of tlie city. A large crowd witnessed the arigin.rj, cheering the youngsters and jeering and hooting at the dummy. A peach basket formed part of the framework of the effisry. A rainy day skirt, an old pair of shoes and a lurid shirt •waist completed the costume.

Cleveland Anarchists Frishtened. Cleveland, Sept. 18.—Concerning the efforts of the United Stales'- authorities in bringing to light Leon Czolgosz's confederates in this city, little is disclosed. A United States officer has admitted that tue secret service men are still at work and are biding their time. "The anarchists of this city," he said, "are a badly frightened lot."
