John II. Cockrum Address. After reading the r solution.- Mr. Cockrum adrdvsst-d the members of the lesion anil gu &t3 as fallows: Worthy Commander: We come this ever.1::? to the confine: ntlon of the life and chara'iei of o!io who thf most dis tinguished citizen of the United flutes at the time of tkath. The eveuir-.s mu.U ncctariiy. ia a measure, bo turned to one of orrmv. Our praises will be lor the dead. Our advice will be to the living. "in a country of peace and happinc-FS, founded upon the principles of the highest liberty and wherein all citizens shouid have love for Its institution?. Its laws and their supremacy, a mo-t cowaidly crime has been committed. The hnd of courtesy and honest purpose extended in kindly greeting, to be pushed aside by a dastardly ctiminal prepared to kill "him who extended It. A day of happiness was turned into one cf awful toriow. A country of contentment was aroused to bitterness for v ng ance against the unwarranted eilender. Honor was written upon almost every face. A most worthy and rpected man was cruelly assasinated in one of the foremost cities of the Republic. That man the ruler of the country. No more outrageous viilany has ever been recorded In the history of the world than the murder of President McKinley. "Our ports are the landing places for th vessels- of all countries of the globe. We are at peace with the whole world. Our l!ag has ever been the canopy for the protecting of the oppressed and needy. We have Riven of our lands and money to provide comfort and homes for the poor of the world. Castle (l?:doii has opened its doors to the people of every country and clime. Our populace Is composed of representatives of every nation on earth. We have always taught toleration of speech and the most liberal use of the public press. We hive allowed to exist In our country schools of anarchy and their kindred associations, the schools of socialism. We have seen and heard en the streets of this, our capital eity, the advocates of these schools. We have seen processions marching through the streets of our principal cities, bearing the red flag of anarchy, hostile to all organized government. OrScers of this and other countries have been murdered as the rsult of the dangerous teaching? from these dangerous schools in our own land. "What either country would allow such prejeeedings t be carried on? Look at the Chicago llaymarket scene. Officers attempting to quell a riot, shot down, murdered by Anarchist.-. Trial and conviction followed. Some of the offenders were hanged and olhcrs imprisoned for life. A Governor was then elected for the State of Illinois, who pardoned those serving life sentences. This fJovernor has been heard In our own city as a teacher of the doctrines of what good government means. RESULTS OF TOLERATION. "We have seen too plentifully the results of such toleration. Only recently a miserable wretch was selected by the Anarchists of Paterson. X. J., to kill the King cf Italy. He went from the United States and performed his most infamous mission, and -we had no law, and have no law now, by which these conspirators who sent this poor wretch on his mission of infamy can be tried In our own country or transferred to Italy for trial. The whole world was frtupefied with horror at this outrage, and it would seem indeed that the eyes of the people of the United States should have been kept etpen to the great ncessity for extreme vigilance and caution when our own rulers, or those ef any other country, thouid appear In public places. "We have but to turn to the meetings addressed by Emma Goldman, the high priestess of anarchy in this country, which meetings were held in the principal cities of the country and tolerated by the public authorities, to tind the inspiration that prompted Czolgocz to conceal his revolver in his handkerchief and visit the scenes of kindness and good wishes to ail, there to pitilessly and treac herously murder a good, wise. Christian man. who had done hirn no wrong and whom hs did not personally know. The greatest outrage of the generation was committed and another victim added to the cruel teachings of diarchy. "Have we not had enough of the kind of to'u ration that prompts murder? Have we not sutlertd enough to demand that such 1 iws be framed as will wine the rganizatijn that encourages anarchy from oft the lace of our fair country? Certainly we have. And with these resolutions unanimously adopted by this commandery we, its members, stand pledged to the sentiment that anarchy shall have no abiding Place under th Hag of the Republic In so far a.s we can prevent it. "President McKinley was the embodiment of a noble life. In his young years he laid the foundation for future greatness by studiously applying his time to good purposes. He showed his love for country by enlisting In the army and serving hrough four years of war. He served his State well in many ofTielal capacities, until f nally be was elected Governor. He served his rarty well in every political contest for more than a quarter of a century. He nerved the whole people well by his untiring work while a member of Congress. He terved his country and the whole people best as President cf the United States. RESTORATION OF PROSPERITY. "The confidence of the reoplo In him and hl3 great ability was manifested to the highest degree In th rapid restoration of prosperity In fhe general business affairs Immediately following his election and Inauguration. He conducted most ably tho affairs of government for four years. He WEATHER FORECAST. l"Ir . and Warmer To-Day Partly Cloudy on Sunday. WASHINGTON. Oct. IS.

was tried to the utmost durins our war with Spain and was found equal to every emergency. The war was ended with credit to hi3 administration and to the wholesome honor of the country. He iishtfuliy occupies the place In the public mind a. one of our great-t Presidents. He holds the place In tho hearts of the people of the world as one of the most perfect men in his domestic life. His care ot his as-.1'! mother and his devotion to his inval.d wire are the highest comma rulation that can be given. Hi Christian life and character Khouid be the puluance for the future boys ol the K public who would f ailsly their connti y and do honor to themddves. 'What more can be raid of man? He did all thlr.g.4 well and left a record of pcrftct conduct In everv place he lias filled in life. Hi3 death whs untimely. His counuy needed him longer. He has b-en greatly honored and he has honored those who honored him. He Is the victim of the honor we have conferred. "The Kreat facrlilce of this Rood man; the great sorrow we have felt since hi.s untimely death; the preat horror that has shocked the world in this rnoft unrighteous minder, all tends to place Companion McKinley in the list of the world's martyrs. We have learned a great lesson. "Let tho Kates of Castle Garden swinß outward as well aj inward. Let the country declare by the laws its representatives in Congress must prtpaio that the teachings of nnarihy, th" schools for its propagation, its followers or believers. tho?e who practice its tenets or decrees, shall have no lodging place within our borders. The sun shines on our possessions ilurm each one of the twenty-four hours of every day. and if we. with ail other nations. Join hands for the extermination of this evil to Rood government its eradication will be complete. "McKinley sbeps the last Ion;? sl-ep in the home of his young" rnnhood. In tne language of one of his lesest friends. Judge Shauck. of the Supreme Court of Ohio, 'All over the land cenotaphs to his memory rise In millions of hearts, and It will be well for our future if they bear the inscription: 'Beneath the orderly and divinely-appointed procession of the stars there is no place for anarchy.' " The programme was here varied by a solo from Mr. Powell, whose full baritone was heard at its best.

Cut. Clinrle Denby Heard. The toastmaster then presented the principal orator of the evening. Col. Charles Denby, of Evansville, ex-minister to China. Colonel Denby was given a hearty greeting and his eloquent address was frequently interrupted with burst3 of applause. Particularly loud was the applause that followed his mention of Indiana's dead war hero, General Lawton. Colonel Denby spoke as follows: "This meeting has a peculiar significance for the members of this military order. The late President was one of our companions. He was our comrade during the great civil war. He was the last of the soldiers whom the people delighted to honor by election to the presidential cilice. In a long procession there came to the presidency Grant, Hayes, Garlleld. Harrison and McKinley a lino which was lirst broken when a candidate 1 V .

Possibly, companions, no other of our number will ever gain the great honor of the presidency. New men have come on the stage of action. One of the heroes of the Spanish war fills the place left vacant by the soluier of the L'nion. He who Is dead loved his old antagonists, and was beloved by them. He won back by kindness the generous foemen who had proved themselves so 'worthy of his steel.' He put the South on her feet again. He made patriotism respected, honorable and glorious. He cemented the Union with blood, this time not fratricidal. Well may the South mourn his death. In the Spanish war she fairly divided honors with the North. She had her Hobson. we had Funston; she had Schley, we had Dewey; she had Joe Wheeler, we had Lawton Lawton, of Indiana, who had fought in four wars the greatest poldier this country has produced since our civil war, who. a major general, was killed 011 the firing line. The assassination of the President was the third of the murders of our chief executives. The two first had different causes from this last terrible event. It is a personal loss, and sorrow and humiliation to every American that the chief magistrate, who was performing a. kindly function in aid of a great exposition of the progress of all Americas in the arts and sciences, should have been assassinated. We are united, as we never were united before, in the detestation of a dastardly crime, which not only struck tho President down, but aimed a. blow at the life of the government which re-echoed in every American home, and made us all tremble for the perpetuity of the institutions which are our birthright and. our Glory. "The shott that killed the President was not aimed at the man, but at the ruler so says the assassin. Hut how was he our ruler? We are ruled by no man. We are free except fo far a.s we place limitations on our actions by laws which arc1 ma-le by representatives whom we elect. The President Is simply the executive. He may approve bad laws, but he cannot approve any until they are passed by the Congress. His policy may be all wrong, and I am not going to Intimate, or Inquire, on this occasion, whether President MeKinley's policy was rijtht or wrong, but whatever it was it was put In force by the majority of the people. To remove a President by a violent death does not change the political situation, as we have abundantly seen, one of his political party succeeds him. and the majority continues to rule, as the Constitution says it shall. This murder is accentuated by the fact that the President was killed by an Anarchist. He had heard the speeches of Anarchists and had read their works, and he believed, or pretended to believe, that all governments ought to be overthrown, and their principal agents killed. Our Constitution provides that no man shall be deprived of life or liberty without due process of law, but anarchism wipes out the Constitution, and the laws as well, and leaves us a prey to the basest passions of the basest portion of mankind. It makes our blood boll that our civilization should be tainted by the introduction into it as of right of persons, who. under tho protection of the very law which they denounced, cry out for the abolition of all law. That a man may, without being incarcerated, utter his preference for any particular form of government, whether republican or absolute, is true, but may he. or ought he be allowed to denounce a.l forms of government, and speak for anarchy? How peaceful anarchism may be treated if there Is such a thing may give rise- to discussion. Certainly we have the right to exclude from our shores any class of people that we please, just exactly as you may exclude whom you please from your houses. We exclude row the Chinese coolie, paupers, lunatics and known criminal. We must devise some stringent law for the punishment of criminal Anarchists. Judged by their words and their cenduet. most Anarchi.-ts advocate the murder of the heads of all governments. "One of them recently murdered Möns. Carnot, who wis not a monarch, but the constitutional President of the French republic, and another the Empress Klizabeth of Austria. She was simply the consort of an Emperor, and by this ru the wives of our Presidents are not sale from assassination. It is a terrible condition to be In If the Constitution hall be found to stand between us and the safety of our political agents. Hut I have no fear of constitutional limitations. Interpreted by men supremely great, the Constitute n will b our shield against wrong, and not a barrier agalr.st justice. It Is elastic. It was made lor us and not we for it. It expands and contracts cn occasion. It Is like the tent which Sir Walter Scott describe? lrv the "Talisman." the tent which Sala.ln pave to Richard. It was so small that when folded it could be put in a walnut shdl. and so large when expanded that whole armies cou'd rest under Its shade. I have but little time to speak of the personal characteristics of President McKinley, and stich discussion would to unnecessary. All the world knew him. He was a gentle. klr.d!y. rootless man. No taln ever fastened itself on his Integrity.

He was simple and unostentatious In his habits. Ho received all men as equals. He

J hud a calm and patient disposition which served him well during the great events in which he was engaged. Duiinff his first term he received and answered 4oQ.f"A) Utters. He was honest and conscientious. He was a man of great and varit-d intellectual power. He was th controlling spirit in his administration. Men of all parties rallied around him, but he found his chief inspira tion in the expression of the opinions of the people. His memory will be revered as long as our government exists." A pleasing feature of the programme was the concerted singing of "The Star-spangled P.anner" by all present, under the direction of Mr. Powell. Address of Major Mcnzlcs. Toastmaster lirown announced that, although whatever formal programme there may have been had been completed, several prominent gentlemen present had kindly consented to address the assemblage. He presented Maj. G. V. Menzies, of Mount Vernon, Ind., who was received cordially. Major Menzies's brief speech was chietty devoted to tho late President McKinley, and hia tribute to the dead executive was given tho closest attention. Major Menzies said: "Mr. Toastmarter and Companions I conttss that I am embarrassed on this occasion, not from any lack of desire to pay in rny humble way a tribute to the great dead, but from the fact that since his untimely death everything possible in the way of einogy and in conuemnation of the detestable act by which he lost his life has been said. Fiom the day that he was shot until this hour the civilized world, representing every nation, every clime, yea, tiie benighted from the islands of the sea, have sent up their tribute to the memory of illiam McKinley. "I had not the pleasure of knowing Mr. McKinley. I never met him but once. 1 saw him frequently on public occasions. At one time I visited the city of Canton during an interval between sessions of Congress. My business was there with the law lirm ot which Mr. McKinley was a member. Associated with my side of the case was Judge Day, who afterwards became secretary of state under Mr. McKinley. Although Mr. McKinley did not take an active part In the negotiations which brought a compromise of the litigation, he was present and participated enough for me to form some estimate ot his character. "I was singularly impressed with the gentleness and nobleness of his disposition. He had a winning manner. 1 readily saw the secret of tho man's popularity and success in his congressional district, he at that time being a distinguished member of Congress and the leader probably of his party on the great economic question which then divided the political parties of the country. He had, it was evident to a casual observer, that which men would call diplomacv, but which women give a better name tact. He had Infinite tact. He had the power to draw men to him with hooks of steel. "Equipped with a fine presence, a good intellect and Scotch-Irish blood, his success was assured in any walk of life. Applause. That was demonstrated In the congressional district where he lived, that he was uniformly successful even undtr adverse circumstances except on one occasion. The district was gerrymandered against him by the opposite party to the extent of thousands against him. He invariably carried it except on one occasion, and then I believe my party counted him out. Prolonged laughter and applause. "But he went back before the people, and in the lace, 1 think, of 4.U'X majority piled against him by the redisricting scheme, he was elected by some TOO majority when the opposing state ticket canied the district by 3,i)oi. Itenewed laughter. "Mr. McKinley represented to my mind the great and the best opportunities of American life. It is unnecessary for me to go into his character. If theie had been anything lacking the full measure has been completed by Comrade Cockrum and Col, Denby. "Starting, then, from humble and honorable circumstances, Mr. McKinley, equipped as I have said, uniformly achieved success. There must have been something in him over and above the ordinary. Steadily advancing from the humble position of school teacher and I believe about all the men of any consequence in this country have at some time taught school. I was at it iixty days myself once laughter until he reached not only the highest oillce in the gift of his people, but the grandest position in the world. Greut applause I believe that stands admitted now all around the globe, that no crowned head, no monarch, no titled individual stands cut no strong, yea, head and shoulders, like Saul, above them all as the President of the United States. Great-applause. And, going back to George Washington and coming forward in history to William McKinley, without extravagant eulogy I say a more consummate statesman, a more adroit party leader, no man so capable of wielding and guiding a political party ever occupied the presidential chair, not excepting Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. Tremendous applause. "On many of the great questions that divided the country during the administrations of Wiiliam McKinley I was radically opposed to him. I believe te-day I have a conscientious conviction I may be wrong and I do not wish to introduce anything smacking of politics at all I believed then and I believe now on many of the questions Mr. McKinley was wrong, but he was conscientiously and patriotically wrong. I think, as I believed then, he thought the policy he insisted upon and urged upon his party and his country was for its noblest purposes and its best interests. In that he. to my mind, was pure and patriotic. In his death we can say that he lived the life of a great American. His name will survive and his name will be preserved. "It will not be sald of him, as the Scotch Highlander in his dirge of the dead chieftain said: 'Like the dew on the mountain, like the snow on the river, like the bubble on the fountain, thou ait Kone forever.' "William MeKinley's name will live and le cherished by generations of his countrymen yet to come. Hin fame will go on in the American Walhalla of statesmen as a great, a noble, a patriotic American." Great appiause.J Hon. A. C. Harris' Speech. Following Major Menzies's address, Admiral Brown announced that he had persuaded Addison C. Harris, ex-United States minister to Austria-Hungary, to talk upon tho subject of the evening. Mr. Harris was given a greeting that showed unmistakably the high position he occupies in the esteem of his fellow-citizens. He spoke in part as follows: "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen I only rise because I cannot well decline the honor of saying something to-night concerning Mr. McKinley and the great question which is now in the heart and the brain and the thought of every American. "Many of the great events of the world are started and brought about by some single individual event. The firing of the musket in the little village of Lexington set in force the great movement which led to the foundation of our great Republic. The taking of the life of a companion of George Washington, a soldier of the revolution and a man who stood equal with the compatriots of his time, with all that made a great soldier and statesman I say, the taking of his life aroused the American mind until it put down the crime of the duello. The bomb that sank the Maine caused every American the next morning to clench his fist and shut his teeth and swear by the God on high the Spanish Hag should be taken from tho free continent of America. Applause. "And now the taking of the life of our President In the way and manner in which It is done has aroused the American mind, aye, his aroused the mind of the people of the world to declare that that motive, that movement which led to the assassination of President McKinley shall be stamped out of the face of the earth." Great applause. Mr. Harris here discussed his proposition to have all clvidzcd nations join together for the fuppnsi-ion of anarchy, as stated by him at length in a signed communication print ?d in the Journal some time ago. He then proceeded to treat the subject of suppression of anarchy under the Constitution of the Unittd States. On this point he said: REASON FOR ARREST. "If one man in this country shall Inculcate and stir up a purpose to cause the assassination of another, do we have to wait until the murder is consummated before wo can arrest the man or prevent the consummation of the crime? Why, certainly not! Rut it is said that it is written, and it Is true, in our Constitution that Congress shall make no law abridging the liberty of speech or the freedom of the rress, and some people have said to me that that would prevent, would seem, at least, to prevent any thorough and well-organized movement to crash out and destroy this crime amongst us. Does it? What does tree speech mean? Does it mean that I luuy go down upon the street, or even here, and blafpheme God? Does it mean that I may go down upon the street, or here, and rtrlve to raise a mob to burn this city or to commit murder? Why. if two men agree to commit a crime, before thH crime is committed either one or everybody that Is In

the conspiracj is liable to arrest and punishment and imprisonment. "Is there ny difference between a conspi.acy to bum a city or murder a citizen . and a conspiracy to destroy government? is not a conspiracy to destroy our Ktpuo.ic ! 'is much greater a crime than to :i.i one man as the welfare of eighty millions is superior to the life and interest ot one man? "Free speech therefore does not mean ' and was not understood by our lathers to mean that any man had a right to tsy that 1 which is agamst tho welfare and peiptuuy

of society, .uid so with the public pie. 1 would not have a censorship, but we have laws in this country that provide that if the press shall tay that which is injuiious of a citizen, and it is not true, not only is it liable in a civil action, but the editor is liable to punishment in a ciiminal proceeding. Why? Because the welfare of society is conserved by preventing false and wrongful statements trom be ing made for a 'false purpose by any man. by tongue or pen. "So that I say that Congress has the power, so far as Congress is concerned, to provide by law that If apy man shall teach by tongue or pen that his purpose is to destroy our government, to stiike down our tuclety and in doing that, that it is right and it is the purpose to destroy the life of an officer of the Republic, whether he be President or judge or marshal that that shall be a crime. And further, that if there be a lodge or convention or organization, two or many, for the purpose of carrying out thl3 wrongful plan that that shall be treated as a conspiracy for this crime and that the heavy and sure hand of the government of the United States shall be laid upon them, and they shall be subjected to a punishment commensurate with the injury which they contemplate and threaten. Great applause. MAJESTY OF REPUBLIC. "Let us not talk then, may it please you, about simply shutting the door3 against the people from the outside. Lot us go further and say that we will treat those who are on tho inside as they deserve, and should we do that I feel assured that every nation on the face of the globe will actively cooperate with us and that it will raise higher still the glory and majesty of our great Republic. . "I cannot sit down without saying one word about Mr. McKinley. He was all ' round a perfect American. Now his lame Is complete. The events wnicn ne guided and brought about during his four years as President have elevated the Nation to which he belonged, to which we belong, to the first place in the esteem I of all the good people on the face of the globe. He extended our Republic, he established the principle that the American Republic would, when it was necessary, protect and secure those who were being oppressed anywhere upon the Ameiican continent. He has said, and he has carried it out, that the unfortunate inhabitants of the Isles of the sea shall be piotected and secured and educated and civilized, and so far as was in his power or in the power of the Nation that they shall be elevated and educated and made good and intelligent people. Under his administration, it lias been said by one of the gentleman here to-night, our flag has been carried ro far around the world tnat no longer is there any night on Old Giory. His fame is complete; and we, for the remainder of our lives, will hold him to our closest hearts; and history will keep his name alive as long as the history of the Republic is read by the generations of the centuries that are to come." The exercises were appropriately and touchlngly concluded by the singing of President MeKinley's favorite hymn, "Nearer, my God, to Thee," after which Bugler Powell sounded "taps," bringing to an end one cf the most impressive meetings ever held by the Loyal Legion of Indiana.

When the Friendship Return the Two Oliloana Regan. Washington Letter in New York Post. A touching feature of the scenes attending: the death and burial of President McKinley was the unfeigned grief of Senator Hanna, who was his warm friend for so many years, and half whose heart seems to have been laid in the tomb with him. The affection which bound the two together in their later life was, curiously enough, an outgrowth of the opposite sentiment, for their first meeting: was as enemies. Hanna as a young man was interested as a junior partner in a coal-mining enterprise which his father had helped put upon its feet near Alliance, O. He was well-to-do, dressed ra'her luxuriously, and carried himself with the air of a man who realized his importance to the community. One day there was trouble at the mine, and eleven of the laborers were arrested for some violent demonstration. They procured ball, and sought out a young lawyer named McKinley, whom, they had heard of as poor and struggling, but clever, and whose own hard knocks in life they believed would make him particularly sympathetic with thtjr condition. McKlnlty heard their story, and toid them he would defend Rum, and charge them nothing excepr-the court fees and exntnses. On the day 0 the trial the eleven mm . were rangpd up before the bar. and in the foremost seats on the other side sat young Hanna and a f rU ni of about his own ag , also the son of rich parents, and equally prosperous in appearance. As toon as the witnesses had been examined it became ! plain that there were almost equal measures of right and wrong on the parts of employers and empioytd. and thit sentiment rather than weight of logic would settle matters with the Jury. McKinley, in relating the ftory years after to a frknJ. Mid: "If my life had depended upon lt. I could not have resisted th- Impulse that p Ued me suddenly to play the demagogue.
