Tho past ten days havo dMnonstratcd again that the American people are a Nation. The New York Journal has not contained a hate-makins cartoon tdnee the tragedy at Uuffalo. Both the Amalgamated Association and the United States Steel Corporation now know that compromise is better to prevent a strike than to end ov.e. Mayor Taggart mu?t have been indulging in a ghastly j)ke when he declared that lie la waiting for Mr. Ilonkwaltcr to give further answer to his qut stion. In tho absence of warlike news from Central American republics to which the administration gave a bri f warning, it seems that the notice has had a salutary Influence. In one I.-ue of the Journal It appeared that four county or ex-county otiic rs are Fhort in their accounts. This e vil is due to the election of men who are not qualified , iind to the slackness in past years. The nomination of an anti-Taggart Dem ocratic, Silvcrltc, Populist and Silver Republican ticket wouM bo useful in that it would Fhow the Ftrcr.gth of the Kansas City platform iry the combination which voted for Mr. Pryan last fall. The proclamation of President Roosevelt appointing Thursday, the l'Jth inst., as "a elay of mourning and prayer throughout the United States" calls for respectful observance not merely by the churches, but by civic organizations and all classes of people. As Abraham Lincoln's personality has come to be the guiding star to generations to follow so will the recollection of William McKinley's personal virtues exercise a healthy and inspiring influence as long as the history of the worthiest spirits of the Republic shall be written and read. Because so little is said of the charge that the city clerk has not collected the tines of lawbreakers, h and his friends should not a? sume that the matter has been forgotten. The deputy city clerk, who i.5 said to conduct the office and whj is a candidate, should have some interest in these charges If the welcome of the tity's distinguished visitors is not as demonstrative as it might be, it is because the people of Indianapolis are saddene! by the nearness of the great national calamity, which also casts its sombre shadow over th exercises of the visitin?: fraternity. But, if the occasion is less joyful than it would have been under ordinary circumstances, it need not bo less bcnclicial to the order. Prominent citizens of New York who :ire familiar with Mr. i:sev It's career lind assurance that he vvill make a good President in the fact that ho has tilled with honor every public position to which lie has ben called. One of thtm said: "Ho was a goo. I Icgislat'r, a good civil service commissioner, a gocd p!ic commissioner, a gool assistant seen tary of the navy, a pood Governor, and v. ill make a god PrcoIdent."

Mter In which he said the only satisfaction he had ever got out of office-holding was in doing what he thought was right without worrying about his own future or wht effect his acts might have on his persor.al popularity.

A man who has intelligence to see his duty as u patriotic American citizen and tho eourago to do it without regard to personal consequences is a safe man to trust.

TRYING ASSASSINS. Tho death of President McKinley fixes the gra-le of the crime committed by his assailant and removes all doubt as to the peni -I ty. He will be tried and convicted of murder, and. umler the New York law, will Inj le ctrocutr d. It is an easy and painless death, but the law of the State where the crime w;u committed admits of no other mode. In the case of Presidtn: Garfield a iUstion of jurisdiction was raised as to whether his assailant should be tried in Washington, where the attack was made, or in New Jersey, where Mr. Garfield died. Under tho laws of New Jersey the courts of that State have jurisdiction in the case of death within its limits from criminal injury caused elsewhere, but in that case thoy waived it in favor of the District of Columbia court. In the present case no preliminary question can be raised, and the assassin should be tried, convicted and executed as seon as possible. No such delay or trilling with justice should be allowed as was in the Guiteau trial, which lasted more than two months. Guiteau was defended by his brother-in-law, a lawyer named Scoville, from Chicago, and also assisted in his own defense by objections, protests and statements that greatly retarded the trial. He was placed on the witness stand to testify in his own behalf and was under examination four days. This was a needless waste of time. It was not until the fourth week of the Guiteau trial that the defense began, to introduce expert testimony to prove insanity. A hypothetical ejuestion was put of great length and very adroitly framed, closing with the words, "assuming all of these propositions to be true, state whether, in your opinion, the prisoner was sane or insane at the time of shooting President Garfield." Many prominent insanity experts from different parts of the country testified that under the propositions as stated they should regard the prisoner as insane, though some of them objected to tho form of the question. In reply to another hypothetical question of much greater length long enough to fill two columns of the Journal in fine type a still larger number of experts testified their belief that the prisoner was sane. The contest over this tiuestion, which probably a British court would either not have allowed to be raised at all or would have disposed of in a few hours, lasted several weeks. The speeches and other features of the trial were equally prolix, to the disgust of the public and the scandal of justice. Finally, Guiteau was convicted on Jan. 2T, 1SS2, and v'as sentenced to be hanged on the 30th of June following. He spent five months in jail, a convjeteel assassin, during" which he received the sympathy of cranks of both sexes. It is to be hoped nothing of all this may occur in the trial of Czolgocs. Under the laws of New York, if the prisoner should inform the court that he has no counsel and no means with which to employ one, the court will be obliged to assign counsel to defend him, but it should be with instructions that no trifling" with law or attempts to defeat justice will be allowed. The court should set a memorable precedent for the speedy trial, conviction and punishment of Anarchists. It is a good time and a good case for the court to make a new record. Tin: ropiLAit opimo.x. At a committee meeting yesterday the last speech 'of the late President was allutled to as an illustration of the happy capacity of Mr. McKinley to put so much in so limited space and yet to say all that is necessary. One of those present attracted attention by saying "I wish that he had never made the speech." There was an expression of surprise as if the speaker hail reference to the matter of the speech. He explained that he meant that his wish was that the late President had not gone to Buffalo. As for the views set forth in the speech, lie expressed the opinion that the policy outlined is that which the President's party must pursue. That view of it met the approval of all present. This conversation is referred to as an indication of opinion of intelligent men, particularly of the President's party and ef those who are pleased to call themselves independents, li" senators and representatives of the late President's party would take the trouble to go out among their intelligent constituents and ask ami get their views insteael of declaring what must, or, rather, what must not be done, they would be surprised to discover that most of them are in hearty accord with the views set forth in Mr. McKinley's last great speech. It may be added that, with the last utterance of the elead leader in the mlmls of ids party, it will not be wise for a few nun, or even any consalerablo number of men, t dec li re that the men who oppose a progressive tariff, policy must be politically ostracised, or to assume the part of dictators, as a few have already done. The general comnuTce of the en;ntry with the world must not be impeded in the supposed interest of a few branches of industry. When it comes to making a trade treaty with Cuba, for instance, th- island's products must have that advantage which, by a reciprocal arrangement, will give us the general trade of Cuba. That is the declaration of the late President in his last utterance. a mistaki: mi-: a. In o::e of the sermons delivered on Sunday in this city the sentiment was expressed that the large and moneyed corpfrationi should keep away from Congress. The sentiment is a wise one if it weru based tn facts, but experience prove." that the strong and well-to-il3 corporations d" not appear with lobbies at Washington. Years a so the Pacific railroad companies employed lob i.-s whkli w re effective. Th-ir purpo.-e was to get clear of paying the overdue bonds for construction, the payment t f which had been guaranteed by the UnJt'd Stute. They q-.j'te succeeded in leaking th country believe tint they could I. d pay off th borols unless Congress sl.oul.l give them term that were little better fur the government than If it should assume the e'eht. At one tlrr." It seemed possible that tho Unite. 1 States would not r c Ive tine-fourth of the money it had pnl.l oat. While Mr. Cleveland was President

the executive was given authority to sell the property. The prosperity of the country gave the Pacific roads an increased value which compelled the companies to pay all that the government had invested within a few million dollars. If the companies had not responded, other capitalists would have taken the property. Since that transaction the Pacific railroads have had no lobbies in Washington. They are independent of the government. When the iron industry of tho country was struggling for existence its representatives were always about Congress, but now that great corporations have been formed and all the Improved machinery and cheaper processes adopted, they will not appear before Congress. It is probably a matter of indifference to tho United States Steel Corporation whether the duty is reduced "0 or 73 per cent., for the reason that it can make goods at a coit which prevents foreign competition. There will be lobbies in Washington, but they will represent industries and propositions that have no financial basis. The importunings and influence of localities desiring river and harbor improvements, or having irrigation or canal schemes, or ship-subsidy plans will be much more insistent than the large corporation calleel trusts.

TUB FHKACIII.NG OF llHSIOXDI2CV. Mr. Bryan is reported as saying that Anarchists are men who have no hope. It Is true. Present conditions afford them no hope, so they desire to overturn society, destroy the right to property and make it possible for every man to do what he pleases. It follows that if those men who assassinate rulers and make war on government are the victims of despair, men who spend their time in efforts to prove that the conditions 'of the mass of people grow harder and more hopeless as the years pass are engaged in recruiting the ranks of anarchism. Such men may not mean to make Anarchists, but when they make them discontented and tell them that the door of opportunity is closed against them they do prepare men to be Anarchists in spite of their intentions. The man who declares that the rich are growing richer and tho poor poorer, and devotes his time to attempts to prove that this is true is preaching to the mass of men that there is no hope for them. He is telling them that next year their condition will be more hopeless than it is this year because the rich wrest from them the just rewards of their toil, ami by telling them these things they are preparing them for anarchy if those who listen to them believe them. That men and newspapers make a considerable number of people believe such discouraging statements has been shown in many instances during the past week. It stands to reason, then, that those speakers and editors who do not desire the spread of anarchy should preach and teach hopefulness. They should at least declare that all statistics and comparisons of conditions years ago with present conditions show that the mass of people are incomparably better off now than then. When unpropitious seasons come, as they will, they should cheer the despondent with the certainty of the better times which are sure to come. One of Queen Victoria's weaknesses was her rather foolish attachment for her former personal servant, the Scotchman John Brown, of whom she ordered a bronze statue erected in the grounds of Balmoral Castle. By ordering its removal King IMward has shown that he eloes not believe in making a faithful body servant a national hero. THE JESTEES. ZVenr Jlenelqunrters. Cleveland Flain Dealer.

thi party would go to the City Hall, where the body lay, but that all would go directly to thu train. This would be done on Mrs. McKinley's account. At 7:CJ the Misses Duncan, r.ieccs of tho late President, were driven to the train o th.it they might arrange all comforts possible for the stricken widow. A few minutes later. Senator Fairbanks, Controller of the Currency Dawes and Elmer Dover, secretary to Senator Hanna, emerged from the house ami entereel a carriage. Following a White House messenger rushed down the walk and ordered the win lows in one of the carriages closed. At 7:J.j several figures steppeel silently out upon the porch and walked down towards the carriages. Mrs. William McKinley, lobed in gu.rbs of mourning, and supported by Abncr McKinley on one side and Dr. Rixey on the other, was the central figure. To the surpriso of all she walked briskly with her head quite erect, her face hidden behind her long black veil. She got into tho carriage With her favorite niece. Miss Barber, Aimer McKinley and Dr. Rixey, end they were driven at once to the depot. So far as eejuM be seen she sat erect and unsupported in the carriage. THE MILBURN HOUSE DESERTED. The family of Abner McKinley, other relatives of the dead President and Secretary Cortelyou followed in other carriages, and the Milburn house, famous now because of its connection with a great national tragedy, went back into the possession of its owner, who had so kindly given it up to the use of the President and hli family. The street corners near the house, which for a week had been crowded with newspaper mep, telegraph booths and waiting carriages, resumed their wonted appearance; the military guard was withdrawn, the police resumed their normal occupation nnd tho exciting incidents that have marked the locality became a memory. President Roosevelt did not arise until 7 o'clock. He dressed quickly and at 7:30 was ready for breakfast. He breakfasted with the family of his host, Ansley Wilcox. Just after S o'clock had struck, together with Mr. Wilcox and his secretary, William Locb, jr., he got into a carriage and drove to the train. A few mounted police followed the carriage and three or four detectives and secret service men were near by. Otherwise there was nothing to distinguish the President from any other citizen. The slow and stately progress of the President's body from the City Hall to the railroad station afforded the people of Buffalo a last opportunity to do honor to the memory of the lamented executive. At daybreak City Hall was as cpuiet and peaceful as the death within its walls. Statute-like the guard of honor at the catafalque maintained its position throughout the long hours of the night. There was a sergeant of artillery at the head of the bier, a marine at the foot. At one side was a sergeant of infantry, on the other a marine. The massive wooden doors of tho building were closed and the iron outer gates were bolted. It was a few minutes after 7 o'clock when there came signs of life from within the corridor, where the body of the President reposed. The doors were flung open, the gates sw'iins ajar. At 7:o7 forty sailors lrom the United States steamship Michigan swung up Franklin street, the lirst detachment of the cortege's escort. The bluejackets wheeled into line directly opposite the entrance of City Hall. Four minutes later the four-horse hearse drew up and a company of mariens filed into position. Five of the Cabinet officers arrived in two carriages. The first carried Secretary Long and Postmaster General Smith. The other held Attorney General Knox, Secretary Wilson and Secretary Hitchcock. United States Senator Joseph R. Hawley, of Connecticut, was next to arrive. TAKEN TO TUB STATION. Exactly at the appointed hour, 7:43, the escort was in perfect readiness. In clarion tones Major Mann, commanding the escort, delivered the order, "Present arms!" Noiselessly, and with the precision of the welldrilled soldier, the arms leaped to position; the commanding officer turned about, and, lacing the house of the dead, brought his sword to "present." It was an impressive moment. The rigid soldiers and sailors were awaiting the body of their late commander-in-chief. A minute of awe-inspiring silence, and then, emerging from the doors of the City Hall, there moved the eight bodybearers, four soldiers and four sailors. On their shoulders rested the casket inclosing the body of the country's beloved one. Away down the line of soldiery, from the Sixty-fifth Regimental Band, came once again the strains of "Nearer, my God, to Thee." Behind the long ropes the throng uncovered, and with bowed heads waited and watched in silence. Tenderly the precious burden was borne slowly down the stone steps and along the curved approach to the hearse. The flagdraped casket was lifted gently into the hearse ami the doors, closed. Through the windows of the hearse naught but America's flag, surmounted by a single sheaf of wheat, could be seen. To the front came the troops, wheeling into line and moving down Franklin street. Once more the strains of music. This time it was the mournful dirge; of Chopin's funeral march, accompanied bv the tolling of the church bells. Behind the troops came the carriages of the members of the Cabinet. Then came the hearse, and following were comrades e.f the G. A. R.. with a company of local militia bringing up the rear. The cortege passed into Church street, and, winding past St. Paul's Church into Main street, the .lead President was carried through Buffalo's streets. Down Main street the procession moved b tv en masses of people, all uncovered. The high winds from off Lake Krie snapped and whipped the bunting and crepe with which evcrv building was draped. Above the buildin.'T" American Mags and black strenmors hung at half-mast. The line had begun its march at 7:"A Half an hour later, with mea.-ured st p and to the strains of the cnstantlv playing band, the line at last turned into Exchange street, where the r ii'IroTd stution is located. Then tho Buffalo iournev was at an end. As "the er,rt"e passed Blllcott street It wns met by th carriage bearing the President of tp United States. Theodor Roosevelt. Bv tb President's orders his earr'.ige was stopped, aiai with bared head th Nition's now executive awnited the passing of Iiis predecessor's funeral corte-r. Oivc more the troops vre drawn up in line ar.d eanv to "present." AT TUB STATION. The hoarse stopped in front of th baggage entrances to the depot. As the undertaker took hohl of the door of the hearse, to op n it, and the soMier-benrcrs prepared to draw the coffin out, a hush fell on the multitude. Then, from the head of the column came the mournful sound, of the "long roll." As it ceased there rose clear and sweet, the notes of the beautiful hymn. "Nearer, my God to Thee." The sol. Hers raised the flag-covered casket on tluir shoulders and moved toward the train as the band took up the air of the grand old hvmn, "O G d, our Help in Ages Past." )u the curb stood President Roosevelt with Senator Hawley. The former had refu.-ed th advice of the police to move into the ..epot yard, and. with hi? hat in his h nd. h- stood si! ntly watching the bo ly b ir.g remove 1.

The train that bore the President from Buffalo was a solid Pullman of seven cars, drawn by two locomotives. Fifteen minutes before the train was scheduled to leave an engine sped out through the yards with orders to precede the train by fifteen minutes and keep the track clear. The train was under the general charge of George W. Boyd, assistant general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania. Assistant Trainmaster D. M. Kinney was in direct charge. Conductor Johnson, who came here in charge of President McKinley's special train from Canton, was the Pullman conductor to-day. Engineer George Woodward was in charge of one engine, ami Frank Bishop of the other. The train crewwas made up of picked men in the Pennsylvania and Pullman Companies. Behind the engines were the drawingroom cars Raleigh and Belgrade, both of which wert tlevoted t members of the press. Next came the dining car, Waldorf, the car Naples, intended for senators, and the Hungary, for President Roosevelt and the Cabinet. Next to the rear car was the Olympia, occupied by Mrs. McKinley, and last of all was the observation car., Paoitic, in which the body resteel. The cask't was placed between the windows on the observation car, where it could be seen by the people as the train went by. Crepe was draped from the two locomotives and from the rear of the tbservation car. and the railings of the car were shrouded in crepe. The only relief was in two tiny pilot Hags of white on the leading locomotive. The station was absolutely clear. President Roosevelt entered the station with Secretary Cortelyou. The members of the Cabinet followed. The President raised his hat In salutation. Just before he boarded the train the Presitlent observed H. II. Kohlsaat, o? Chicago. He stepped to his side, and placing his hand on Mr. Kohlsaat's shoulder, whispered a few words to him. LEFT FOUR MINUTES LATE. Shortly after S:30 it was announced that everything was in readiness and at S:34 the train pulled slowly out, just four minutes later than was scheduled. Only the engines and the observation car were shrouded in black. The other cars were unadorned. Behind the drawn blinds were Mrs. McKinley, President Roosevelt, the Cabinet and other high dignitaries of the government. The casket of the President, completely covered with a beautiful silk flag, lay on a raised bier in the observation car. Two sheaves of wheat were crossed across the breast. A white dove with outstretcheei wings seemed to be rising from the head of the casket. It was part of an exquisite floral pieces in which red and white buds pictured the American flag, and the French colors, a tribute from a Franco-American society. Standing at the foot ejf the casket was a soldier of the United States army, uniformed and accoutred, with gun at order arms. At the head a sailor of the navy stood at attention, cutlass at shoulder. The lid of the casket was closed. Just off from the apartment, in a curtained niche, Lieut. Kberle, of the army, ami Lieutenant Hamlin, of the navy, remained on duty, while Colonel Bingham was in general charge of the car. The other apartment of the car was for the moment barracks with guns stacked in the sections, cutlasses on the scats and the reserve of soldiers atyi sailors awaiting their detail at the bier of the dead chief. Two narrow overhanging viaducts, under which the train passed as it drew slowly out of the station, bent beneath the weight of crowded humanity, packed there by the pressure of the tide of people who filled all the adjoining streets. The windows and roofs of the houses and the roofs of the cars in the yards were black with people, all uncovered. When the train had cleared the city the people were still there, standing at the crossroads and in the fields. It ran literally between two lines of people. Farmers from the surrounding country had driven through the dark hours of the night to be at the side of the track where they could pay their tribute of respect. i: IlOL'Tl? TO WASIIIXGTOX.

Incident of the Journey of the Funeral Trniit to the Capital. WASHINGTON, Sept. 1C At East Aurora, the first town through which the train passed after leaving Buffalo, the inhabitants had been augmented by thousands from the surrounding country. The country schools along the way let out, and the children the President loved so well in life were there to see his dead body pass. The train sloweel at every station to allow the people, lined up on either side, to get a better view of the flag-covered casket. The population of the little towns along the way, like Holland, Arcade, Machleu Junction, Frankllnville and Hinsdale, had tripled and quadrupled. The towns seemed suddenly grown into cities. As the train slowed up the mourners behind the curtained windows of the train could hear the tolling bells. Olean was reached at 10:23 o'clock. There were 3,000 people at the Pennsylvania Railway station as the train came to a stop. Mrs. McKinley was prevailed upon to lie down soon after the start was made. There were no flowers in the apartment set apart for her U3e, and nothing to recall to her mind the mournful mission on which the train was speeding. President Roosevelt was quartered in" a drawing room in the car Hungary, with Secretary Loeb. He busied himself with letters and telegrams and with the innumerable questions which reejuired immediate answer. The members of the Cabinet individually cared for the more pressing business requiring their attention. Secretary Root was occupied for an hour dispatching orders in connection with the assembling of troops at Washington and other points for the ceremonies so soon to occur. The Cabinet officers joined President Roosevelt from time to time, but there was nothing in the nature of a concerted meeting. Major General Brooke, in fatigue uniform, with a band of crepe about his left sleeve, conferred occasionally with the secretary of war, and with him determined upon the military reriuirements of the occasion. Senator Hawley and Gen. Harrison Gray Otis, Mr. A. H. H. Aaron, Major Thomas Simons. Capt. Henry Leonard and Capt. J. T. Dean, aid to General Brooke, and a committee representing the G. A. R., were among those in the car with public men. Two engines wer used to pull the heavv train up the mountains. After leaving Olean the train descended into the valley of the Susquehanna. At P'mporium Junction one of the engines was taken off. The route continued down the beautiful valley of the river as far as Harrisburg. At the little town of Driftwood, which was reached at 12:3', the entire population of the town was massed behind a little band of Grand Army veterans, who had planted u furled crepe-trimmed flag in front of them. WITH BARED HEADS. Renovo was reached at 1:05 p. m. Here the train crews and engines were changed. Ropes had been stretched to keep back the crowds which surged throu.-h the neighboring streets. A big flag vith President McKinley's picture framed In crepe was strung from corner to corner of the station, and In front of it were hundreds of school children, their hats in their hands uvA their little faces grave. This was the terminus of one of the railroad divisions, and the train hands wen all lined up with barrel heads. Some of those who traveled with President McKinley to California last spring recalled bow often, when the train crews were changed on that trip. President McKinley hal sent for the trainmen to express his thanks. After leaving Renovo the train passed through a more thickly populatd country ami the crowds grew denser. Half-staffed flags were on evry schoolhouse and the bells of the churches tolled dolefullv as the train sped by. President Roosevelt lunched in the diningcar of the train with Secretary Root at l::v. The members of th" Cabinet an I other distinguished personages aboard tintrain had ir c-eded him to the dinn r. Mrs. McKinley and her immediate party remained in the cir Olympia, which was provided with its own special dining-car service. At Williamsport, which was reached at '2:-, there wa a remarkable- demonstration, the feature of which vas the preseut'ition of an immense (1, ral offeiit-g by jr.iio M-bool "htldrep of the -it v.

Some bad b.skef brimming full of oior and others held the fragrant blosoms in their arms. They poured the wealth of their floral ifferirgs beneath the cruel whe!s. Bach small town had conceived sonic distinct way of its own to show Its re p.rt fe-r the dead. Ubers sought to obtain a puvenlr of th- tad oeeafd-n to ' unlqu? ways. At cne polet beyond Lock-

haven hundreds of boys placed several coins on the track, and when the train rushed by hurried to secure the fattened bits of silrer for preservation as mementoes In their families for all time. ROOSEVELT AND THE G. A. R. The presence of five veterans of the G. A. R. on the funeral train developed an interesting incident, showing the considerate attitude of President Roosevelt towards the old soldiers. The thirty-fifth National Encampment, G. A. R.. at Cleveland, adJorncd early at the Friday morning seion. Sept. 13, after receipt of the dispatch leporting the condition of the President at Buffalo, placing all unfinished business in the hands of the council of administration, consisting of on? comrade from each of tho forty-five departments, with full power to act." At the meeting of the council, which remained in session until after midnight on Friday, a committee was directed to be appointed by Commander-in-chief Ell Torrance, in event of the President"? death, to attend the funeral of their dead cemirade at Canton, O. The commander-in-chief, unable to be present at Buffalo to march with the G. A. It. comrades of the Department of New York in the place assigned them, immediately in rear of the hearse, from the Milburn house to the City Hall on Sundav, and from thence to the funeral train on Monday morning, was represented by his adjutant general and by other comrades of the Department of New Jork. At it meet In -r h.Pld in Buffalo on Sunday, pre

sided over bv Department Commander Orr. it was agreed to further offer the services of a committee of live to act as a part r the escort to the body on the funeral train to Washington. . . The committee called on President Roosevelt at the Wilcox residence on bunoay evening to make this tender and request an acceptance so that the representatives of the G. A. R. might be assigned to this duty. The Preshlent's greeting to the Grand Army committee was most gracious. He said: "I am pleased, very much pleased, to receive you; and while for obvious reasons, I cannot make an assignment such as you propose, 1 will write a note to Secretary Cortelyou, with the hope that he will be able to do so. I know it is what the dead President would have desired and it is what I desire." The note written by the President was handed to Secretary Cortelyou, who said: "In making arrangements tor the funeral I thought of the Grand Army officers. In the multitude of my eiuties I necessarily had to refer many matters and that of the G. A. R. escort was sent to Col. Ringham. Please see and tell him I sent you to him." Col. Bingham at once made the necessary arrangements for the G. A. R. to follow the hearse to the depot and an assignment of a committee of live to accompany the remains of President McKinley on the funeral train as follows: F. M. Sterrett, adjutant general; Charles M. Orr, department commander. New York G. A. R. ; F. W. Billings, Commander Post 9; Alfred Lytic past senior vice commander-in-chief, and Joseph W. Kay, past department commander, New York G. A. R. SHOPS CLOSED DOWN. After leaving Williamsport the train ran through stretches of farming country, dotted here and there with small manufacturing towns. At Milton all work was suspended and the town turned out en masse at the station and lined the railroad tracks. At the busy little town of Sunbury the shops closed down for a time anil the brawny workmen lined up in their overalls, with serious faces and hats in hand. All ages and conditions of the people joined in the tribute the children with liny flags topped with knots of black, cripples on crutches and babes held above the crowd for a sight they might never see again. It had been the intention to run through Sunbury without a stop, but such were the importunities of the town's people that the train pulled up for a moment between solid lines of people. In the fifty miles from Sunbury to Ilarrisburg the route skirted the placid Susquehanna, and the vitas of greenclad slope and peak 'gave way to broad sweeps of rich farming country. The river men were aware of the coming of the train. A ponderous dredge halted in its operations, and the men lined the deck of the unwieldy craft. At a little town across the river the populace had emptied upon the wharves and could be seen straining for a view of the speeding train. Further on a homely farm house had its little porch looped with black, and underneath were gathered the old and young of the household with sorrowing faces. At one crossroad hundreds of vehicles were drawn up, with couples standing in them and evidently some nearby town had thus sought point of vantage near the track. Approaching Harrisburg. factory hands again lined the track. The rooftops of buildings were alive with people. Flags were half-masted and emblems of mourning were at every hand. Hundreds of men and women crowded the tops of freight cars. Within the station were banked in thousands, surging through all the approaching streets as far as the eye could reach. From a huge viaduct spanning the track countless faces peered down into the ear windows. The tolling of the church bells could be heard, and as the train entered the station the shrill notes of a bugle sounded taps. Despite the vigilance of the guards, women pushed through to the train and pleaded at the windows for any trille the, cars might yield as a memento of this eventful trip. GREAT CHOIR SINGS. Just as the train stopped a great choir, ranged tier on tier on the station steps, began "Nearer, my God, to Thee," and then as the train pulled out the strains turned to "My Country, 'tis of Thee." Printed slips were handed to the car windows, giving the lines of the two beautiful hymns, deeply -bordered la black. Companies D and I. Eighth Regiment X. G. P. and the Governor's Troop were drawn up along the track and stood at present arms as the train passed through. Before the train reached Harrisburg tha crush at the station was so great that the militia was called by the railroad authorities to drive the crowd back. It is estimated that there were HOOO persons crowded in and about the station to see the train. Governor and Mm. Stone were in the crowd but they were unable to get near the train. The local Grand Army posts also turne! out to do honor to the memory of the dead President. Business throughout the city was very generally suspended from until 5 o'clock and its courthouse bell and numerous other bells tolled during the period. All freight and passenger traffic on the Pennsylvania Railroad between Rockville and Harrisburg was suspended at 4:' and resumed after the funeral train left the Union Station. A remarkable spectacle was presented as the train moveei across the long bridge spanning the Susquehanna from Harrisburg. On either side of the stream up and down for miles, the banks teemed with legions of people. From the brink of the stream they were in solid masses to the trees far in the backgrouml. On the brhlxe itself urchins had clambered Into the tangle if steel at the sides and roof. On the surface of the river. In a flotilla of rowboats and vacJits. hundreds more looked op at the train of death. On the far side of the bridge another dense crowd lined the tracks and with bared heads peered into the catafaloue car. Again at York the train moved for had a mile between avenues of solid humanity and windows and housetops alive with ! '- pie. Bv this time the sun was getting low, and in the throngs were hundreds of won;mn with their dinner pails. Bveiywhere the same scenes of sorrow and reverence that had gone before were re-enacted. CROWDS AT BALTIMORE. Night came on as the train sped from York to Baltimore without a stop and in the darkne-ss only the flickering lights along the way and the tolling of bells at the stations bespoke that the manifestation.-, of sorrow wa re still going on. As the train drew into Baltimore black masses of people? could be seen ranged uimiii the huge -viaducts which span the line of the road and at evcrv street crossing a living tide surged up to the train. Ntaring the station the locomotive literally ploughed its wav among flowers, fur great masses ot "olos-oms had been strewn along the pathway of the train. Insi.b the station the in.n railing h. ld back a surging multitude, while within the rail the entire force of the itv postottiec was tlra w u up on one .-ide ofiho tracks with banners wound with "t-repe und the force of the custom hou.-e ou the other side. In front of th.- crowd Mo..d Ma vor Haes. with his slst r. each bearing grcit clu-ter f mses nnd palms as a tribute of the city to be placed on the bir of the dead Pit-idcnt.

There were over 100 floats in line and innumerable other vehicles that had be.-n in preparation for months for the opening of the Cincinnati fall festival. The elaborate floral decorations have since last Friday night been profusely draped in mourning.
