Vice President of the Fnlted States to the presilency in the event of the death or disability of the PresMent. His theory is that in such case the Vice President does not succeed to the office of President, but enly to his duties, und that, consequently, it Is not necessary for a Vice President, In such circumstances, to take the oath of office as President, as he took the only oath necessary when he. was inaugurated Vice President. The question raised is a technical one and does not involve any" legal or practical consequences, yet, as a new theory, it is worth noticing. The Constitution provides that "in case of the removal of the President from office, or of his death, resignation or Inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office, the same shall devolve on the Vice I'resident." Mr. Rurke construes this that the pGers arid duties of the office shall devolve on the Vice President, but a. fairer construction is that the office itself shall devolve upon him. The provision quoted covers four cases the re moval of the President from office, his death, hiä resignation, or his Inability to discharge its powers and duties and provides that in either case "the same shall devolve on the Vice President." This has always been construed as meaning the office with all Its powers and duties, privileges, emoluments and salary. Strict compliance with the Constitution requires the Vice President, on succeeding to the office of President and assuming its duties, to take the oath prescribed by that instrument: "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of I'resident of the United States and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the I'nited States." On the first occasion when n I'resident died in office, that of William Henry Harrison, in 1K, the oath was administered to Vice President Tyler, in the presence of the Cabinet, by Judge Cranch, of the Circuit Court of the District of Columbia, who certified as follows: I. William Cranch, chief judge of the Circuit Court of the District f Columbia, certify that the above-named John Tyler personally appeared before me this day, and although he deems himself qualified to perform the duties and exercise the powers and office of the President on the death of William Henry Harrison, late President of the United States, yet as doubts may arise, and for greater caution, took and subscribed the foregoing oath before me. Thus, If there was any doubt on the point the authorities of that clay resolved it in favor of the view that the Vice President succeeded not merely to the duties and powers of the office, but to the office itself, and should take the oath as President. This construction has been followed ever since. When President Taylor died, July I, 1Ö0, the Cabinet, in a joint communication, informed Vice President Millard Fillmore of tho fact, and he replied in a note expressing his deep regret and saying that lie would immediately "appoint a. time. and place for taking the oath of office prescribed to the President of the United States." He also notified the Senate that In consequence of the death of President Taylor, "I shall no longer occupy the chair of the Senate," showing that he considered his official relations to the government and his official status had changed. Mr. Fillmore notified Congress that at noon of July 10 "I will, in the presence of both houses of Congress, take the oath proprescribed by the Constitution to enable me to enter on the execution of the office which this event has devolved upon me." He held that the office devolved upon him. not merely its duties. When President Lincoln died the members of the Cabinet, including the attorney general, notified Vice President Johnson of the fact in writing, stating, "Ry the death of President Lincoln the office of I'resident has devolved, under the Constitution, upon you." Chief Justice Chase administered the oath as President to Mr. Johnson, and no question was raised as to the propriety of his taking it. When President (Jarfleld died the Cabinet notified Vice President Arthur and advised him "to take the oath of office as President of the United States without delay." Secretary Rlalne notified all foreign ministers that Vice President Arthur had taken the oath of office as President, "to which office he succeeds by virtue of the Constitution." Thus it will be seen that the question as to whether the Vice President succeeded to the office of President or only to his duties, becoming acting I'resident instead of President, was never raised except in the case of Vice President Tyler, and was then and ever afterwards settled in favor ef the view that on the death of a President the Vice President succeeds to the office itself. The dcith of President McKinley made Mr. Roosevelt President, not acting President. a ;m:T iioionsthation. If yesterday's parade was intended to typify the numerical strength, the cosmopolitan character and the fraternal sentiments of the Odd Fellows organization and the genuine interest of its members in its aims and objects ami in its extension and growth. It was eminently successful. This city of conventions and encampments, of processions and parades, has never seen a larger parade than that of yesterday, unless possibly there were more men in fine at the National Kncampment of the Crand Army, and that one, if as numerous, was not nearly oh showy and varied as the one of yesterday. All others suffer by comparison in every respect with the immense and spectacular parade of yesterday. Kvery element co-op rated to make it impressive and memorable. The members of the organization were here in great numbers not only from neighboring but from distant States; the weather was Meal for an outloor demonstration, the streets were In perfect condition, the visitors were in the best of spirits and the city lent Itself willingly to an ocasion which, as it turned out, will be remembered as marking a red-letter dy anning events of the kind. The parade was something more than an Odd Fellows demonstration. It was a representative American demonstration In that it represented all sections, all classes, all professions, all occupations and all the elements of good cltlztr.eV.ip welded together by voluntary organization in the In

terest of self-help and of helping others. The three links representing the basic principl of the order, "Friendship, Ive and Truth," which were so conspicuous in the parade of yesterday, are also basic prine ipb-s in every w ell-organize-d society, or at lejtst should be. Where they exist anarchism c;.nnot grow, treason tan never lift Its head, and justice and good will must prevail between man and man. One of the main purposes of Odd Fellowship on its original institution in Kngland was declared by Its laws to be "to remW assistance to every brother who may apply through sickness, tlistress tr otherwise, if he be well attached to the Qu-en and government and faithful to the order." Thus loyalty became a law of its being from the

start. American odd Fellowship seeks "to visit the .ick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead and educate the orphan." And it does these things, not on paper, but In nality, with a degree of fidelity and zeal that entitles it to stand side by side with the more ancient order of Masonry. The Journal congratulates the order on the magnificent demonstration of yesterday and hopes the other features of the Sovereign Orand Iyjdge meeting may be equally satisfactory to those in attendance. i: iii:m u or conspiracy. Czolgocz's conduct in court when arraigned tends strongly to confirm the theory of an Anarchist plot to kill the I'resident. This theory recelveel confirmatory evidence in a number of suspicious circumstances occurring in different parts of the country before the death of President McKinley, and these are now strengthened by the conduct of the assassin in court. It was discovered shortly after the attack on the President that Czolgocz was a. member of an organization called the Free Society. His signature was found attached to the constitution of the society. This constitution, as published In the Journal a few days ago, contained detailed instructions regarding the action of persons who might be selected to do a certain act. These instructions related to three periods the period of preparation for the action, the moment of the action itself and the time following the action. Among the Instructions was the following: In an examination by a judge admit nothing except what you know the authorities can positively prove against you. always having In mind your alibi or whatever de fense is proposed. Other Instructions urged self-control anc? silence. If Czolgocz had been tr; !ng to follow these instructions to the letter he could scarcely have acted differently. When brought into court he refused to answer questions repeatedly put to him by the district attorney and by the judge as to whether he had or wanted counsel. He would not utter a word. The district attorney asked him in rapid succession: "Czolgocz, have you got a lawyer? Do you wish a lawyer? You have been indicted for murder In the first degree. Do you want a lawyer to defend you? Czolgocz, look at me an-1 answer." The prisoner ref'ised to answer, as he did also to similar eiuestior.s by the court. His contumacious silence is indicative of a conspiracy and of his desire to pose as a hero by following to the letter the instructions of the Anarchist organization of which he was a member. ronni:(i: in itoosi:vi;ir. The opinions of the independent and Democratic press are, as a whole, unusually appreciative of th? character and ability of President Roosevelt. The Democratic Atlanta Journal says: It is the source of deep gratification to the country that as the successor to the murdered President, it has a man whose life, like that of William McKinley, has been clean, ehivalric and high. No imputation of the slightest degree of personal or official dishonor has ever been cast upon Theodore Roosevelt, even In the passion of politics. He Is a noble type of American manhood, and has illustrated those virtues which our people especially cherish and honor. His home life is beautiful, and those wno have Known him best have the highest admiration for him and the -most comnlete confidence in him. The independent New York Times, which is in a position to know of the I'resident, says: To the great office of President of the United States he comes with full training and full knowledge. Since the country had a history we have never had a I'resident who had been so diligent a student of it, especially of its political and party history. If it strengthens and safeguards a man to have contemplated the successes and pondered the mistakes and failures of those who have gone before him in the path he now has to tread. Mr. Roosevelt's preparation may be said to be broad and profitable. And when to this Is added the teachings of his own considerable experience and the assurance ti be' derived from his uniform success and uninterrupted advancement to higher posts, it must be apparent even to theise of the critical spirit that the augury is singularly free from those elements of apprehension that have iti some previous instances added to the weight of such alfiiction as that which has now befallen the Nation. The Independent Democratic Detroit Free Press says: Far from being dubious we have every reason to be thankful that the Republican national convention at Philadelphia nominated for Vice President not a political cipher, but a rugged, sturdy, manlv American with the potentiality of measuring to the full proportions of a modern statesman. The foregoing are fair samples of the expressions of many papers which arc not Republican regarding the President. It is fortunate for the country that the new I'resident enjoys the respect of the mass of fair-minded people of the Nation. It is an admirable principle of AngloSaxon justice which requires that when a person accused of crime cannot or will not employ counsel to defend him the court shall appoint competent attorneys for the purpose. Tills means that even the vilest criminal must be tried in accordance with law and shall have counsel to see that he gets a fair trial. The Buffalo bar did itself credit by selecting and the court did Itself equal credit by appointing two prominent members ef the local bar to elefend Czolgocz. This is all the better because the procedure will pass fnto history, and It will prevent Anarchists from claiming that the assassin elid not have a fair trial. A feature of Odd Fellowship, not the least among its merits, is that in small towns and country villages it stives as a sort of social club by which men of congenial minds are brought together and neighborly acquaintance is kept up for good purposes. In communities where social eipportunities arc meager the value of such meetings is very considerable. IJx-President Cleveland never forgets what is lue from one ineumlient of tho prcsielentlal office to another. His presence at the funeral ceremonies of President McKinley in Washington showed understanding of official proprieties as well as good feeling. Yes, Harper's Weekly was right when it said in lS: "Mr. Rryan may not knowIt, but socialism, whose finest fruitage is anarchy and murder. Is the philosophy of his candidacy and campaign." The thanks of the public are due to the local committee and others who devised

the unique and pleasing band parade, concerts and accompanying features last evening, and to th visitors who participated. Many thousands of people gathered on Monum lit plat e enjoyed the novel entertainment and will long reniemlter it as one of the pleasant incidents of the Odd Fellows' gathering. The band parade last night was a fitting fini.-h to a spectacular day. The bands appealed to the senses through the ear instead of the eye. but they got there all the Fame. The oldet inhabitant does not recall a day when there were as many brass bands in the city as there were yesterday, and most of them were pood ones. THE JESTERS.

Dr. McRurney's apparently very hopeful and confident statement had done more to ieliee apprehension on the part of this community than any of the reports that (time from Ruffalo. McBurney is so well known here as conservative and taciturn, almost always laconic or else absolutely silent when speaking of his own patients, even to members of their families, that the leellng was that he must have discovered in the President's condition unexpected and highly encouraging symptoms. "At the same time some of McBurney' associates here were Inclined to the opinion that he may have felt as the physicians who attended Garfield did fee!, that lie had In some sense the American people for patients nt this time. The shock of the attempted assassination was so sudden that It produced here and there something like hysteria, caused some men usually prudent to lose their judgment, some of the most law-abiding citizens even publicly advocating the lynching of the assassin and some usually cautious editors suggesting torture as the best means f punishing assassins or of compelling them to make confessions of conspiracy. Then there were Industrial anil financial conditions to be considered. Therefore. Dr. McBurney and the others in view of the symptomatic! conditions of the President, felt Justified in speaking the truth even if tluv iii not go so far as to tell the whole of it. The whole truth, it was known la professional circles lure, would have set forth the secondary langers; those that follow after surgery se-emed to have won a complete triumph. These secondary dangers that were discussed privately and carefully, anil Di' whi h some intimation hal come l"rm Buffalo, were chiefly those of exhaustion, of a prolonged and unsatisfactory invalidism, ultimately wearing out the life of the patient. It was known here that the heart action of the President hs for some years hem not entirely normal; although the belief was that the trouble was a purely functional one. Yet to the medical men In this city, his condition gave cause for J almost as much apprehension as the prim ary efu-et of the wound Itself, for surgery seemed to have been able to have overcome that. This apprehension has been strengtheneel as lay by day went by ami it was discovered from the bulletins that the record of the pulse was very high. It was feared that If this high tendency were not overcome there would Inevitably follow prostration,It might be absolute collapse. This apprehension was one which the general public did not share. It was confined to a rather limited circle. Some of the financiers who have been standing shoulder to shoulder, so that there might be no panic or lemralizatiou in the market, had information of this apprehension and it is probably safe to say that a majority of the physicians of New York city shared it. But it was no more than a fear, a possibility, a. contingency which might or might not arise. Australia Nominally Independent. Buffalo Courier. Australia is said to be planning for a navy of her own, the minister of defense of the commonwealth believing that the existing system of paying Great Britain for navy defenses is unsatisfactory.

At the age of eighteen he enlisted in tne viumu army and he served for four years with marked distinction. For years he was the leader of his party in the House of Representatives ami was twice elected Governor of the State of Ohio. "No man ever entered upon the presidency better qualified by the variety and range of his experience for the adequate discharge of the duties of that high office.

"Cnder his direction the army and navy won for us the highest regard of the nations of the world. His administration of our foreign possessions was so conservative and wise as to add to the dignity of the American character and give to this Nation a world status which it never had before. His whole foreign policy was embraced in the sentence, 'We could not if we would, and we would not if we could, escape the new responsibilities which war has imposed upon us.' " U the same time, by his personality and generous official acts, he did more than was befrre possible to obliterate sectional bias. He welded the broken sympathies of this Nation so effectively that soon not a trace will remain of sectional strife. His administration was purely and broadly and characteristically American. As commander-in-chief his commissions went, without exception, to brave and trustworthy men. He knew na. section, or party, or sect. From his inauguration as President he grew dally in favor with God and man. He had no pride of opinion: no will but that of which he was the constitutional exponent; no desire but rightlv to represent the people for whom he stood. As month followed month we looked back on his administration with increasing pride in him, that he made no mistakes, but that each day had added to and rounded out and made more perfect the growth, advancement, prosperity, honor and glory of the whole Nation. "After thus successfully meeting every phase of life, he met death as he had lived, heroically and triumphantly. At a time when life was pouring hor best at his feet; when the Nation had signalized for a second time Its confidence in him, surrounded bv love and admiration, he was called upon, with brief warning, to yield up that life, to leave the scene of his triumphs. He met that last King as one conqueror meets a greater. With Christian fortitude he yielded himself to God's love and law. "Our Republic has no place set apart for her illustrious dead no Westminster Abbey, no Pantheon. William McKinley sprang fmm the people, gloried in the people, and his resting place will be with the people whom he loved and honored most. "'He that borne his faculties so meek, hath been Ho clear in his great office, that his virtues Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued, against The deep damnation of his taking off." The memorial was prepared by Addison C. Harris, H. H. Hanna. John L. Griffiths, Merrill Moores and Robert A. Brown as a special committee. BR IFF SPEECHES MADE.

The speakers of the evening, after extolling the virtues of the lead President his vigor, bis tenderness, his courage, his genius and his simplicity turnel to a consideration of the' menace that Czolgocz. the assassin of the President, seems to represent, anarchism. Mr. Harris letiared that any person that traduces the flag or attacks the President should be stricken lovn. and the other speakers agn-ed with him in their lifferent methods f xpression. Mr. Forkner gave the most studied attention to this matter. He said the world's history Ines not furnish another such awful example as lots this country In the assassination of ihre; Presidents. Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley, in the short period of forty years. He asked If the I'nit d States is to get the shame ful reputation among the nations of welcoming the murderous liscontents of the earth. He iiscusse.l the point that has been raised in many directions since the President was shot does the Constitution offer or permit any safeguanl against anan hism ? Mr. Forkner said that, though tin Constitution stipulates freedom of speech and of tlie press, it does not cons-nt to licoiuiousncss. and that Congress may on this ground enact laws against anarchy. He eleclared it to be his belief that Czolgocz was the tool .f an Anarchist conspiracy that is aiming at the life of this government. Mr. Forkner agre-d with the. other speakers that to instill patriotism deeper into tlie hearts of tlie mass of the peoplewill be the gn-atest f all r'melies fur the ill of anarchism, but he urged emphatically that some legislation be taken along tb lines ho describe!, be-lieving that it would be practicable. He argued that the pilitical cartoon a ml the: bitter recklessness of Mune partisan newspapers have an evil eiltet and should be eeirrectid. ;it M) I.OIHiF. ACTION. The Spec In I Committee Itennlut Inns on the Prraldrnt Reuth. The committee appointed at the special session of the Grand Lodge, I. O. O. F. of Indiana, held Sept. IS, to draft resolutions expressive of the feelings of the Odd Fellow of Indiana relative t the assassination of President William McKinley, yesterday rejorted the following: "William McKinley, our President, was so universally lvdnvcd an! r"sperted thu adnei5 over his trajjlc death reicm uni

versal In the hearts of the American people. Independence of thought and action and the right to mingle and commingle with our chosen people was bought so learly by our fathers of 1776 that we cannot but look with horror and alarm upon the acts of any one who attempts to abridge any of those liberties and rights with the assassin's bullet. We note with jsadness. not unmixed with alarm, the fact that a man of peace, one who loved his people, if possible even more than they loved him, could not walk abroad In God's sunlight, ami amidst the beauties which nature an-1 man had provided for him. without encountering the assassin. Our President! A man f learning, not alone In law and literature, but one who had learned through the guidance of his own heart the beautiful lessons of love for his fellow-men. A statesman of a broader type. One not filling the exalteel position of President that he might dispense the spoils of oftVe. but rather In that sense which Washington filled it. that he might, in building up free institutions for all the people, leave to posterity a government broad enough to include all nations, tongues and kindreds of the earth a government founded upon the law of universal brotherhood. In the maintenance of such a government he has

acted a prominent part, and History will write down his name as the name of a true man and great statesman. "We mourn to-elay his leath not as the widow mourns because of her great bereavement; not as she mourns because the one upon whom she leaned with such trusting confidence for so many years has been removed: but because the assassin has struck down one of our number in whom we trusted and who has compellc! us. by his pure life and noble actions, to love him. "We extend to his widow the sincere sympathies of our beloved order. W Uh them go our tears of sorrow and our best wishes that Time, in her flight, may touch as lightly as possible her heart where grief now reigns supreme. To his spirit we say: "Then steal away! Give little warning. Choose thine own time. Say not 'Good night, but in some brighter clime Bid me 'Good morning.' " The resolutions were signed by the special committee composed of Will H. Talbott, J. Frank Mann and Newton W. Gilbert. ACTION" Afi AIXfsT ANARCHY. Bricklayer I iilon I rges Indiana Representatives to Act. The Bricklayers Union, at a meeting last night, adopted resolutions asking the Indiana representatives in Co: gross to urge legislation against anarchy and mak ing it high treason. The resolution follows: "Whereas, We the Bricklayers Union, No. 3, of Indianapolis, Ind., and working under the jurisdiction of the Bricklayers' and Masons International Union of America, learn with deepest concern and regret of the premeditated murder of the chief executive? of the I'nited States, and "Whereas, We believing that the act of an assassin should be treated as high treason, be It "Resolved, That we extend our heartfelt sympathy to his wife and family, and be it "Resolved, That the representatives of Indiana, the Hon. Charles W. Fairbanks and the Hon. Albert J. Beveridge, and also the representative of the Seventh congressional district of Indiana, the Hon. Jesse Overstreet, be urged to prevail upon the next session of Congress, either ordinary or extraordinary, to enact a law to make anarchy treasn, a treasonable offense in the eyes of the people and that they (Anarchists) be punished to the fullest extent of the law, and, "Resolved, That the hall and charter of this union be draped for a period of thirty tlays and a copy of these resolutions be published in the Bricklayer and Mason and also in the Indianapolis daily papers. "Respectfully submitted. "FRANK I. LINE. "LEWIS SCHUTTE, "GEORGE FRY, "V. T. DIGGS. "Committee." The resolutions were passed with unanimous consent a3 soon as presented and without discussion. The bricklayers have always entertained the kindliest feeling toward President McKinley, more especially perhaps because he was an honorary member of Bricklayers Union. When the cornerstone of a certain building was laid by the President he was made an honorary member of the organization of bricklayers in order that the work might be union in all respects. Since then he has been carried as an honorary member. But this was not the first meeting President McKinley had had with the bricklayers. Last nlglu as the members of the hx-al union stood Hbout their hall they recalled the time when he was Governor of Ohio and the address of welcome he made to their international Convention in Columbus. The address of welcome to the Bricklayers' Union was cai the day of the Inauguration or Governor Bushnell and was tlie last official act of Governor McKinley. The inaugural committee waited for him while he welcomed the bricklayers to the State, and in the afternoon the convention adjourned to attend the inaugural. When he finished his speech many delegates from all parts of America were heard to shout. "Our next" I'resident! Our next President!" The union also adopted a resolution declaring its intention to observe Thursday out of respect to the dead President, and not a member of the union will work on that clay.

Rain fell almost incessantly eluring the iay and the crowds that gathered early Jin the morning were speedily dispersed and driven indoors. ! The- luncheon and general reception at Spenc-erwood, the official residence of tho Lieutenant Governor, was canceled as a mark of respo-ct to tho dead Almrieaii President and further plans for all expressions of regret were inaele, but ut.avil.i bly abandoned. The duke and LorJ Mlnto, Governor General of Canada, lcc'ided to be personally representee! at Washington. The former designated Commanlr G1frey Fausette, naval cid-de-camp.J as hi representative, but it was discovered that it would be impossible for him t reach there before the departure f the funeral train for Canton and the idea of (sending anyone was regretfully given up. ' A chilly wind swept over the liains of Abraham, but the military revhfw was bravely finished. The duke rcttjsed all offers of shelter and rolc throijgh the rainy review ii his brilliant uniform f honorary colonel of the Seventh liisiliers. Despite the rain the military ex.hibiik.ii was a brilliant one. Five thousai.jl fighting men, including a naval contingent of about Co, were massed on the giycn-car-pcted plains in sight of tlie Wolf ment. There were long lines of tunics and platoon after platoon colored kilts with rows of blue an all touched with white and yellow trast. A dozen bands played the monuse arbt of gay green, or t onairs to which the British army marches aiil when the duke arrived and the picture bicarue a moving one it wan at Us lest. The duchess was the first of tly royal party to appear. She came from tlie citadel in a barouche drawn by four! horses, with mounted postilions, and escofted hy the Queen's Own Canadian Hussars, in lark uniforms, corde! with yellow. As shi drove up the line the spectators j h"ereI her energetically, and she smiled iher acknowledgment. She was escorte! to & roofed stand In the center of the t;id. A few minute later the eluke entered, the parade ground, escorted by his staff. it;nd proceeded to inspect the troops. The- review followed, ami when it was over tlie duk presented medals to 113 Canadians Who saw service in tho South African warj Some were Jn uniforms of their regiments', other in civilian attire. At their head; came Lieutenant Colonel Ernest Turner. if Quebec, who got the coveted Victoria Cro.for saving the 'guns at Belfast, the distinguished service order medal for bravery at Vaal river, and a sword of honor from his fellow-townsmen. Turner was thric wounded in action, and is one of three Canadians to win Victoria rosse. The luke personally complimented fach of the soldiers as he hanlel him his medal. The royal party returned to the citadel at 1 o'clock, and after resting until 5 o'clock went aboard the Ophlr. They were escorted to the wharf by a detachment ef the Queen's Own Hussars, and to-night they gave a linner aboard to a llstingulshej party. The harbor and city were brilliantly illuminated. The warship were outlined in strings of lights, anl far up em the heights of the city the lines of incandescent lamps were woven into attractive designs. Tlie names f Wolfe.
