House, Ebbitt "History will record," says the New York World, "that under President McKinley tho country attained Its highest .degree of prosrerity." The ultra-Democratic Senator Vest said that "President McKinley was more respected by his political opponents than any Other President the country has ever had." "Let us ever remember that our interest Is In concert, not conflict, and that our real eminence rests on the victories of peace, not those of war." McKinley last public words. It Is said that the tir?t action of Congress will be to define the teaching of anarchy, jit can be defined, but there is reason to lear that Congress may not go to the root of the evil. There have been four Presidents elected under the ag; of fifty years Grant at forty-seven, Cleveland at forty-eight, and Pierce and Garfield at forty-nine. President Roosevelt is five years younger than the youngest of these. ; The occupancy of the White House by the Ttooscvelt family will bring more young people into that historic structure than it "has ever had as occupants before, there being six children in the family. The longtime custodian of the building is said to be perplexed as to how to dispose of them, and their mother will probably be still more no by the difbeulty of preserving a family atmosphere In an official residence. The Roosevelt children will probably have less real liberty in their new home than ever before. The conjunct'on of the Sovereign Grand .Lodge meeting of Odd Fellows and the state fair will make this a week of great crowds In the city. The sad ceremonies that are being conducted at Buffalo and Washington may cast somewhat of a gloom over the events, but as their dates wer; fixed long ago and all arrangements were i fnade, they could not well be postponed. The world, with its complex Interests, mu3t move on In spite of its tragedies, and t"nournIng for tae dead President will minfgle with decorations for the visiting itrangers. If anyone imagines that President Roosevelt will proceed to displace federal officers to make room for friends or those who will promise to be friends he will soon Team that he Is greatly mistaken. He Is one of the men who believes that good Service should secure an officer the position he hold until his term of office expires. He ewes nothing to patronage und he does not believe that patronage can help man or party so much as clean and capable administration. In this connection U may be said that hundreds, if not thousands, of old soldiers hold their places by Virtue of an order which he devised and "Had passed by the Civil-service Commission in session in this city in lsvj. A large iiumber of ex-soldiers had been disrharged irom postoffices, the railway mail and clerkships by the Cleveland administration. The Roosevelt order provided for the restoration of such men without civllftervice examination to fill the first vacancies. : An article in the Sunday Journal gave the fiames of several members of one of the early co-operative or Socialist communities established In Fosey county, this State, undr the leadership of Robert Owen. As a Socialistic experiment this was one of the most Interesting ever made In this country, and for a time It attracted many notable nnd some cultured people. Many of these, Resides the Owen family, have been mentioned from time to time, but the Journal . Joes rot remember to have seen any public mention of the name of Joslah Warren, probably the first propagandist of socialIsm In the United States. He was born in Boston in 17X, and took an active part in the communistic experiment at New Harmony in 1S23-G. He remained in the West ft few years and then returned to Boston, where he died in 1ST I. He was probably the tirst native-born American to promulgate socialistic theories, which he did in advance of Proudhon. the French author. In works that attracted attention at home and abroad. It is b be regretted that there Is ijo complete history of the Posey county communists with mention of all the notable persons connected with them. Mr. Erving Winslow. the secretary of the Anti-Imperialist League In Boston, has felt called upon o defend his organization against the charge that its criticism of the late President was beyond the scope of authority, and deplores ny limitation of the freedom of criticism. That depends upon hat Mr. Winslow calls criticism. On July 4 last the antl-fmperlallsts Issued H public manifesto in which William McKInUy was termed "an absolute ruler," who had prosecuted the war in the Philippines with unrelenting cruelty." it declared that "a

revolution is threatened." "We urge." said its signers, "all lowers of freedom to organize in defense of human rights." This manifesto was signed Ly prominent men In the large cities. In Chicago such men as Prof. J. Lawrence Ixiughlin. of the University of Chicago, Kdwin Rurnett Smith and Henry Wade Rogers signed the manifesto. For three years these anti-imperialists have been calling Mr. McKinley a tyrant, a czar, a despot and even a butcher. Such epithets are not criticism, but abuse, and mischievous abuse at that, since some Czolgocz may be convinced that those who

use such language mean it and come to the conclusion that it Is a dutj' to assassinate the man to whom It Is applied. Tiiuonom: iiooscvklt, presidhst. Mr. Theodore Roosevelt Is now President of the United States. He has come to the high office as the result of a crime which no American citizen laments more than he. Whatever ambitions he may have cherished as to some time occupying the presidential chair, whatever hopes his friends and admirers may have entertained of seeing him reach that great distinction, those ambitions and hopes were of the future, when the man now come to an untimely end should have passed, in due course, hale and strong, into the well-earned rest and peace of private life. Not he nor they can look upon his entrance into this place of vast responsibilities by a tragic route with anything less than distress and regret. Rut the distress and regret, so far as the public is concerned, are for the President who is gone, not for the one who succeeds him. The people elected Mr. McKinley to serve them four years; they loved him and had confidence in him, and they mourn his death. Rut, also, they have confidence in Mr. Roosevelt, who is thrust into the higher place, suddenly and unexpectedly made vacant; him, too, they love and admire, and are ready to trust with national concerns. They chose him to be Vice President, but, with more forethought than Is always manifested in the choice of the second officer of the Nation, his fitness for the first place, in case fate should call him there, was considered, and it was felt by the public generally that he would be equal to its demands. There is no doubt that he will be equal to them, as he has been equal to the duties of all the positions he has held heretofore. It was this faculty of being ready for the occasion for all occasions that first commended him to public attention; it was hl3 positive, his incorruptible, his aggressive honesty and courage that next made an impression and fixed him in tho public mind as a man whom the country needed. Theodore Roosevelt occupies a unique position in the estimation of the country. It is not that other men In public life are not hone3t. or earnest, or incorruptible these qualities are not rare. It is that he combines them in an unusual way. He is possessed of great physical vitality and mental energy; he has of his own taste and accord entered Into various occupations that have put him in touch and sympathy with all classes of men, high ';nd low; when he was a ranchman he made the cowboys his friends, so that when he became a soldier they clamored to be of his regiment; he became police commissioner, not for "the money there was in It," as is the custom in New York, but to see that certain abuses were remedied. They were remedied, deip!t opposition of (ither members of the board. He became assistant secretary of the navy, he became Governor of New York, and there, as in other offices, did his duty fearlessly and honestly. He is a man of action; he has come to be looked upon as a man who does things, who can be relied on in an emergency. . In short, Theodore Roosevelt is a man of the people, a typical American of the younger generation, a man who has faith in his country and his countrymen, and whose aim Is to serve them to the best of his ability. It was said above that, like other citizens, he laments the untoward event that makes him President. No doubt he laments it more than any other because of the responsibilities it puts upon his shoulders. No doubt he shrinks from assuming the great burden. Nevertheless, there is no question that he will take up the heavy duties bravely; and fulfill them well. He has never shirked responsibilities nor their consequences, and he will not now. Rcause of the difference between him and Mr. McKinley In temperament, characteristics and methods he will find the position as successor to that martyr a difficult and delicate one. The conditions will be quite unlike those which would exist were he taking his office in regular course after an election. It will be the part of the public to give him its sympathy and support and to assure him of its confidence. The people should, and undoubtedly will, show him that they are with him. wisi: ami timi:lv woitii. In this hour of deep and terrible bereavement I wish to state that it shall be my aim to continue absolutely without variance the policy of President McKinley for the peace and prosperity and honor of our beloved country. This wise and timely announcement by President Roosevelt will allay any possible apprehension of a change of government policies, and establishes him at once in public confidence. The fact that it was a voluntary announcement on his part makes it the more significant. He was not required to say anything on the subject, but his good sense told him that it would be a timely statement and acceptable to the country. It Is the new PresiJenfs Inaugural message. It means, in the first place, that President Roosevelt will continue without variance President MeKinley"s policy in regard to our new insular possessions. He has been in perfect harmony with President McKinley on this question from the beginning, and his views are well known to the country. While neither an expansionist nor an imperialist, any more than President McKinley was. he believes, as the latter did,, in holding and governing the possessions which cam to us by the chances of war, and In meeting courageously all the responsibilities that the situation Involves. In his letter accepting the nomination for Vice President Mr. Roosevelt said: As soon as the present revolt is put down and order established it will be possible to give the Philippines a larger measure of self-government than Jefferson gave to Ijouislana. There is nothing even remotely resembling imperialism or militarism in the present policy of expansion The only certain way of forcing the Republic into a career of militarism would b. to abandon the Philippines to the natives, at the same time guaranteeing a stable government and defense against outside Interference. properly speaking, the tjiifstion Is not now whether we shall expand we have already expanded; but whether we shall contract; to surrender the Philippines would be to surrender American territory. Thesrt views were reiterated by Mr. Roosevelt many times during the campaign and since, and he has not yet changed them. The McKinley policy relathe to our

new island possessions will be the Roosevelt policy. In view of President Roosevelt's pledge to continue "absolutely without variance" the general policy established and pursued by his lamented predecessor. It is interesting to note that the last public address by Mr. McKinley indicated his own purpose to do the same thing on progressive and broadening lines. His speech at the PanAmerican Exposition the day before he was shot was very significant In this respect. Its main argument was for the maintenance of friendly relations with all nations, while paying special regard to the development of our own resources and the protection and advancement of our own interests Most of Mr. McKinley's speeches in the last few years have referred to war measures and policies. This one did not mention them. It dealt exclusively with economic policies and with questions oi trade and commerce, and was evidently intended to outline what he thought should be the future policy of the government. After commenting on the unexampled prosperity of the country at the present time, he said: Only a broad and enlightened policy will keep what we have. No other policy will get more. In these times of marvelous business energy and gain we ought to be

looking to the future, strengthening the weak places In our industrial and commercial systems, that we may be ready for any storm or strain. Ry sensible trade arrangements, which will not interrupt our home production, we shall extend the outlets for our increasing surplus. A system which provides a mutual exchange of commodities is manifestly essential to the continued healthful growth of our export trade. We must not repose in fancied security that we can forever sell everything and buy little or nothing. If such a thing were possible it would not be best for us. or for those with whom we deal. We should take from our customers such of their products as we can use without harm to our industries and labor. Reciprocity is the natural outgrowth of our wonderful Industrial development under the domestic policy now firmly established. What we produce beyond our domestic consumption must have a vent abroad. The excess must be relieved through a foreign outlet, and we should sell everywhere wc can, and buy wherever the buying will enlarge our sales and productions, and thereby make a greater demand for home labor. The period of exclusiveness is past. The exijanslon of our trade and commerce is the pressing problem. Commercial wars are unprofitable. A policy of good will and friendly trade relations will prevent reprisals. Reciprocity treaties are in harmony with the spirit of the times; measures of retaliation are not. If, perchance, some of our tariffs are no longer needed for revenue or to encourage and protect our industries at home, why should they not be employed to extend our markets abroad? President McKinley also spoke strongly in favor of building up our merchant marine, of enlarging our ocean-carrying facilities, and of building the Isthmian canal. No doubt President Roosevelt had read this address very carefully, and had it in mind when he declared his purpose to continue without variation the policy of hl3 predecessor. Even without such a pledge Americans would have felt that the honor of the government and the welfare and prosperity of the country were in safe hands, but the assured continuance of established policies on progressive and broadening lines has removed all possible apprehension that might have existed on that score. AX I M'OIITLXATK STIUKC. The Shaffer strike has ended In a compromise, which is a decided backdown from what President Shaffer and his associates demanded. Instead of forcing all of the mills to be unionized by accepting the scale of the Amalgamated Association, the Shaffer leaders have apparently lost some of the plants which were accorded them in the first offer of the officers of the United States Steel Corporation. The loss to both sides ha3 been very great, but the men who have been out of employment since June 00 are the greatest losers. As there are thousands of these men who were compelled to be idle who are not and cannot be members of the Amalgamated Association, loss of employment is in the nature of an injustice. The Amalgamated men are but a handful compared with these thousands who receive the wages of laborers and are helpers to the skilled men. The strike has tended to injure business and Industry. Building operations have been retarded by an uncertainty as to the supply of material. While the strike has afforded the agitator and the blatherskite an opportunity to preach the heresy of classism and to assail capital, it Is cause for congratulation that no bloody collisions have occurred. This fact Is largely due to the Intelligence and conservatism of the members of the striking association and to thevlgllance and efficiency of the police In Pittsburg. Yet. with all the mitigating circumstances, the influence of this strike, like all other extensive strikes, is deplorable In that they cause a bitterness which will require a long time to eradicate. Moreover, it was a causeless strike. The men who struck were receiving the highest wages ever paid to men performing the same service. It is very doubtful if the men desired to strike, but President Shaffer and his advisers believed they bad the opportunity to force the rule of the Amalgamated Association upon workmen in plants In which there were no unions. Filled with that ambitious purpose, the leaders would not listen to reason or take counsel of prudence. The result of this rashness has cost thousands of men the loss of two and a half months' wages and the Amalgamated a serious loss of prestige as an organization in that it has been demonstrated that mills can be operated by other than its members. In 1S4. when both Europe and America were aroused by the spread of anarchism, and when many Anarchists were coming to the United States, Hon. Herman Stump, then commissioner of immigration, prepared and had introduced in Congress a bill to deport all aliens who were hostile to the government, its laws and institutions. It was a stringent bill, and it passed the Senate, bui failed in the House. Authority for such a bill can be found In decisions of the United States Supreme Court in the cases of Fong Yue Ting against the United States (149 U. S.. Cf). and Nishimura Ekiu against the United States (142 I. S.. C51), in which it was held that "the power of exclusion of foreigners is an incident of sovereignty, and the right to its exercise cannot be granted away or restrained on behalf of any one; that every sovereign nation has power to forbid the entrance of foreigners within its dominions or to admit them only in such cases and upon such conditions as it may see fit to prescribe; that the right of a nation to expel or deport foreigners who have not been naturalized or taken any steps to become naturalized is as absolute and unqualified as the right to prohibit and prevent their entrance into the country; that the supervision of the admission of aliens into the United States may be intrusted either to the Department of State or to the Department of the Treasury." There can be no doubt but this is a correct statement of the principle of national sovereignty. If the bill of 1j4 had become a law Emma Goldman and her kind could not have preached anarchy with im-

punity. as they have been doing the flast few vears.

For the information of your readers In this city, please state if it is proper to invert the flag when placed at half-staff. The fact that flags were dlsplaved this morning with the field of blue below causes the Inquiry to be made. Is it not a custom in the navv to so display the tla.? when at half-mast? The only proper arrangement of the flag to indicate mourning for a distinguished man is at half-mast or "half-staff." as it is called in the army, wilh the union up in the regular way. The union down is a sign of distress in the sense of needing aid. as when, at sea. a ship is in danger of sinking and wants immediate help. It is rarely used. THE JESTERS.

Alliiftiou Made to the Killing; of the President View Concerning the (rent Corporations. L. W. Curry, of Baltimore, Md., assistant secretary of the Sovereign Grand Iodge, I. O. O. F., delivered a sermon last night at Central Christian Church on "The Needs of the Church and Fraternallsm." Owing to an oversight at the morning service at Meridian-street Church 'the announcement of Mr. Curry's talk last night was not made. To this can be attributed the fact that so few of Mr. Curry's fellow-members attended. Mr. Curry said in part: "A careful study of existing conditions presents some very perplexing problems. We have with us the optimists and pessimists. What we want to do is to be able to take care of ourselves, be masters of our own frames. We must have confidence in ourselves. We must bo optimists. ALLUDED TO ASSASSINATION. "The assassination of President McKinley was a dastardly crime. If I were a pessimist I do not think I could have given joyful utterances, as some have foolishly done, at the deed of the Anarchist. Although I greatly deplore the act. I could not sanction mob law. This latter subject is what we of this country should carefully study. In all cases let the law be supreme. If men give this great subject their careful study it would dispel any thought toward crime of this kind, no matter how great the offense committed. "The wisdom of God in throwing this country into deep sorrow at the loss of its chief executive for the third time will some day become apparent. At the beginning of the Christian era the people were loath to take up the teachings of Christ. The blood of Christ and the martyrs of the faith have been the seed of the greatest church In existence. It may be that the blood of our Presidents will be the seed planted for the advancement of our great country. "It Is for you and 1, dear friends, to look carefully inte the diabolical methods of the business world. Look into business conditions, not as they appear, but as they really are. During the years of my life I have thought assiduously of that great text. 'Do unto others as you would that others should do unto you.' That is all right, but when 1 pry into the methods used now by the great majority of our business men in conducting their affairs I begin to appreciate the wisdom of David Harum when he said, 'Du to the other fellow as he would do to you, but be quick and do it first.' GREAT CORPORATIONS. "Look for example at the workings of our great corporations which are styled trusts. When a crowd of men band together for the purpose of crushing their fellowman out of business or perhaps the; world, they are guilty of a serious offense. In such cases it is always the rich man that succeeds. The poor man Is always confronted with the words of St. Paul, 'Always be in subjection to your superiors.' This is not meant that because you are employed by a man you have no rights and are his slave. It Is this very thing that the sugar trust, the cattle and meat trusts and the Steel Corporation have been banded together for. The sugar trust acted In violation of the laws of the country when It issued bonds and stock certificates to the extent of $SC.(m.0o) when its real value was $7.740.wu. The cattle and meat trust has raised its capital stock up to ,ono.foi) and the steel trust's capitalization is over one billion dollars. Russell Sage, in the North American Review, says that we are on the brink of a serious collapse on account of these great corporations watering their stock to such great extent. Of the steel trust Mr. S.ige says that the capitalization represents the total amount of money in circulation. These corporations with their unfair methods are guilty of all sorts of crimes. When we study the condition of the many small dealers they have crushed from the market, the homes ruined and the lives wrecked, we charge tho officials with murder and outlawry. "It is time for us. the middle men, to take this subject in hand and try tp remedy the evil. It is for this purpose that the church was formed and the object at which fraternal organizations are striving. It is the duty of every minister and every fraternal society to grasp this situation and work hand in hand to overthrow the present condition of business affairs. The only way it can be done is by the words of the Bible, where we find the foundation for all truths. If this book were studied more by our fellow-men the country would be better." The Velloun.

Nearly 2,000 persons had gathered in Light Guard Armory this afternoon when Mayor Maybury called to ord?r the public mass meeting in memoriam of the late President McKinley, which the Common Council called at its special session yesterday. The armory had been appropriately draped in black. The keynote of the speakers was the necessity of uprooting and stamping out anarchy in this country. Gen. R. A. Alger, secretary of war in the late President's first Cabinet, said: "The root of anarchy, w hich has started in our country and which has resulted in the loss of a President, should be stamped out. It is our imperative duty to stamp out this evil." He was followed by Gen. H. M. Duffield. who declared: "Congress dare not adjourn without passing a measure which will stamp out this greatest of evils anarchism." When Alfred Russell, a leader of the local bar, asked what shall be done with Anarchists there were cries from the audience of "Kill them!" "Burn them!" etc. Among the other speakers were President Mahon. of the International Association of Street-railway Employes and D. Augustus Strakcr, a prominent local colored attorney, who referred with great pride to the part Jaken by the negro Parker in the capture of Czolgocz. At Kaunas City. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 13. Memorial services in honor of President McKinley were held in all the churches to-day. Numerous societies met and passed appropriate resolutions. - IX THE SOITII.

A mass meeting of 5,000 citizens was held in the Auditorium here to-day to pay tribute to the memory of President McKinley. The addresses strongly condemned anarchy and demanded enactment of stringent laws on the subject. A committee of five was appointed to attend the President's funeral. MACON, Ga., Sept. 15. All the churches of Macon joined In a memorial service in honor of the late President in the largest auditorium in the city to-day, and it was crowded. Sneclnl Service at St. Louis. ST. LOUIS, Sept. 15. Special memorial services in honor of President McKinley were held in all churches here to-day. References were made in the sermons to the late President's estimable qualities, and prayers were offered for the welfare of Mrs. McKinley and for the support of President Roosevelt In his new position. Mayor Wells has issued a call for a meeting of prominent citizens to be held tomorrow to discuss the time and place of holding public memorial services. IN NEW YORK (111 It CHIOS. Nearly All the Sermons Were on the AKMaMMliiatloii of McKinley. NEW YORK. Sept. 13. Naturally the theme of all the sermons preached in Nefw York and its suburbs to-day was the lamentable death of the President. With practical unanimity those in charge of the services had the congregations sing "Nearer, my God, to Thee," as a still 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 Sept. 6, it was notable, was treated as having profoundly humiliated the Nation and having Involved it in grievous loss, but, coupled with the words of mourning, there were expressions of confidence in the stability of the government and in the administration of President Roosevelt. There were few vehement expressions against anarchy. 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 mature wisdom, rather than upon blind impulse. President Roosevelt's proclamation was read in the churches nnd services were appointed in most of them for Thursday next. Historic Trinity Church was filled to overflowing to hear Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix. After denouncing the crime of Czolgocz, Dr. Dix arraigned anarchy as a danger which would destroy modern civilization unless suppressed. His tribute to Mr. McKinley was most eloquent. vArchbishop Corrigan occupied the throne during mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral, but did not take part in the services. He was much affected during the preaching of the sermon by the Rev. M. J. Lavelle. The preacher referred to anarchism and to the writings of Pope Leo XIII on the subject, and also said: "These misguided creatures sometimes pretend to find a root of their false doctrines in the Scriptures themselves. Anarchy Is as impossible as that five is equal to two." The Rev. Dr. William Huntington, preaching at Grace Church, took the late President's words, "lx,-t no one hurt him," as a proverb against lawlessness. The Rev. Dr. Howard Agnew Johnson, at the Madison-avenue Presbyterian Church, said, among other things: "Though dead. President McKinley has his place secure. Not onlv is he beloved and honored in the hearts of the people, but in the history of the Nation. No student of history who measures national events will hesitate to say that his is th third great name In the list of Presidents." The Rev. George T. Purves. of the Fifthavenue Presbvterian Church, said, after bewailing the fat of the President: "Yet there are some things for which, even in this bitter hour, we may give sincere expression of our thankfulness. Our government remains absolutely unaffectcd. and we Ixhold the splendid spectacle of the absolute stability of our Institutions even at the moment when the head of the Republic falls. Anarchy may shake its shriveled fist in the face of law and order, but it will accomplish no more than if it shook its puny hand at the solar system. "Emma Goldman and her kind should be imprisoned for life at hard labor and the murr!ett-r and his accomplices should b hanged immediately." New York Draped in Black. NEW YORK, Sept. 13. The draping of public buildings In the city, banks and business houses in the financial districts, business houses in Broadway, hotels and theaters, has been going on all day. By to-morrow morning commercial and financial New York will present an appearance commensurate with the event which Is the sorrow of the Nation. The City Hall is the most conspicuous building in the down-town section. A special appropriation was made for the purpose of artistic work suitable for the occasion, and this work was nearly completed at sunset. The three landmark churches in Broadway, Trinity, St. Paul's and Grace, are conspicuous by the grouping of flags intertwined with crepe.' Ry to-morrow morning Wall street will b burled In black and the national colors. In the residence districts, especially on the West Side, from Seventy-second street to Harlem, flags bordered with black hang at half-mast, in many of the homes occupied by English and French the displays consist of a blending of the flags of the two nations with American flags and black.

Senator Mamon'M Definition of Anarchy Many McetliiKM in Chicago. CHICAGO, Sept. 15. "If the assassination of President McKinley has taught no other lesson, it lias taught seventy million people that anarchy is worse than treason and must bo driven forever from the country." These ringing words from the lips of United States Senator William E. Mason caused the audience that crowded Hyde Tark Methodist Church at the memorial services to-day to burst into a storm of applause. Senator Mason declared his belief that Congress would enact legislation to place about the President absolute prot ection against assassination. A presidential guard, he said, should be created by law, and it should be beyond the power of the President to dispense with the safeguard thus provided. "We should have better laws to guard the life of the chief executive of the Nation," said the senator. "Some excuse' may be found In hatred or partisan excitement for the assassination of Lincoln and Garfield. But no such excuse exists for this foul deed. The President was killed by a sane man, who had learned bis lesson at the school of anarchy; who had been taught in public places that rulers should be slain; who had been influenced and incited to his deed by the nests of anarchy in Chicago." Senator Mason closed his remarks with a glowing tribute to the deceased President as an official and as a man. The meeting at which the senator spoke was but one of many that were held in the city to-day. There was not a church. Catholic or Protestant, in which he was not eulogized nnd his death deplored. The largest memorial meeting of the day in Chicago was at the Hamilton Club, where addresses were made by Judge A. N. Waterman, Representative James R. Mann. ex-Representative George F. Adams and others. SPENT A QUIET SUNDAY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT RESTED IX THE WILCOX IIO.ME MOST OF DAY. Attended the Funeral ExerciCN nnd Made Preparation to Leave Buffalo Cabinet Talk Prcmuture.

MEMORIAL SERVICE IN BERLIN ELOQl ENT SERMON OF DR. DICKIE AT THE AMERICAN tllllttll. Russian Paper Tay Glowing Tribute" to the Illnatrioun Dead The Went Indie Mourn fur a Friend. LONDON, Sert. IS. It would be almost impossible to record in detail the remarkable outburst of sympathy in Great Britain and her colonies over the death of President McKinley, proofs of which are continually, arriving here. Not onl has Klnpr Edward commanded the court to go into mourning for one week, but wherever a public meeting of any kind has been he'd. or wherever a public man has had occasion to speak, expressions of horror and sympathy have been heard. In every place of public worship yesterday, from St. Taul's Cathedral and Canterbury Cathedral down, the preachers made special allusions to the terrible event, invoking God's blessing uixm the United States and the American people. Craithe 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. Mr. Choate' and the staff of the United States embassy, who again yesterday had their hands full, attended services at St. Paul's Cathedral. There were many other Americans in the congregation. Canon Scott Holland made a touching allusion to the martyred President and denounced the crime to which he fell a victim, characterizing it as "a crime whose tragic significance lies in its occurrence in the new world." Many members of the diplomatic corps and a constant stream of visitors inscribed their names at the embassy. Messages of sympathy were received from Earl Cadogan, the lord lieutenant of Ireland; Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the Duke of Abercorn, the maharajah of Jophore, Mr. Austin, the poet laureate, and many other prominent men. In accordance with a special army order to the guarels at St. James Palace and at all other points where guard was mounted throughout the United Kingdom honors were rendered yesterday to the memory of President McKinley, such as are usually accorded only on the death of royal personages. The troops wore crepe and the banels played dirges. Funeral marches were played in every church in the kingdom. There was a painful scene in St. David's Church. MerthyrTydvil. The vicar, the Rev. Mr. Wykcs, while referring to the death of Mr. McKinley, swooned. He was carried home HI. Canon Duckv.-orth, preaching in Westminster Abbey, Where a memorial service will be held on the day of the funeral, said: "The opci.ing year of the twentieth century will live in our memory and in that of our kinsmen as one that drew us together in the sacred brotherhood of sorrow. It will unite in firmer friendship two great nations." i The morning papers again apiear with heavily leaded torders and are almost entirely devoted to Mr. McKinley's death. No such extensive tributes of sympathy and respect over- marked the death ef any person but a British sovereign. In addition to an almost endless succession of dispatches describing the final -scenes and filling many colurns, several pages of each journal are given up to descriptions of tne sympathy evoked at home and abroad, to extracts from sermons, sjeches and editorials, and to extended sketches of tha careers of both Mr. McKinley and Mr. Roosevelt, together with reminiscences, mostly accompanied by portraits. Considerable editorial space is devoted to a discussion of Mr. Roosevelt's probable policy, a question which is exciting th keenest curiosity throughout Europe. . HIT ONE TOPIC IX IllSSIA. Warm Tributes) In the Public Journal Memorial Services) Held. ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 15. The allabsorbing topic in St. Petersburg to-dy was the death of President McKinley. The tone of the press was uniformly sympathetic with the American people In their bereavement and uniformly Just in estimating Mr. McKinley's character. The Novoe Vremya says: "He was a man f large talents and a beloved son of the country for whose welfare he unceasingly and successfully laboie-d." The Svet says: "I t ns hope that the death of the talented and energetic President will rouje these lands which, for th sake of freedom of conscience and thought, harbor bad elements and become the breeding grounds fur plots to action against the enemies of civilization." The Bourse Gazette sas: "On account of the extraordinary purity of Mr. McKinley's character, the American people will lind sympathy wherever civilized nun dwell. Mr. Roosevelt admires McKinley steadfast purity anil the programme in which lie incorporated the hopes and ambition of a great majority of the American people. Opinion in Europe regarding panAmericanism may possibly be divided, but it is comprehensible fnm the American point of view. Mr. McK.nley died firmly believing the work he had begun in domestic and foreign policy ; w ould find .suitable instrument tor its continuation." The semi-oflical Journal of Commerce and Industry says: "Mr. McKinley was not an extreme protectionist. Shortly before L: death he spoke out against crude trust protection." American officials in SL Petersburg today attended, services at the Anglican Church, where' a dead march was rendered and suitable hymns were sung. The Kr. Ir. Francis, minister of the British-Am rican Chapel, preached against anarchy. The pulpit was hung with crepe. Memorial services probably will be held there on the day of the funeral. Spec-al services were also held In the English Church in Mo.-tow. wher- memorial services will be he-Id on the day of the funeral. 1 , SERVICES AT II Ell I.I X.

He spoke, in part, as follows; "This may s . m a strange text, but the light of the gosp 1. shining dow n upon life mysteries, has turned irtrknes Into llKht.
