Twenty years after the death of Garfield the Nation's capital was again in mourning; the wheels of government wtre locked and the voices of the people were uplifted In prayer for the eoul of William McKinley, while his mortal remains were being committed to the tomb In his Ohio home. There was no need of a proclamation to Insure a proper observance of the ?ad event here. Everywhere were to be seen badges of mourning, and on every Hag staff the ensign was at half-mast. Private and public business was absolutely suspended, and every face t-howed signs of sadness. The city gave evidence la most impressive manner that Its heart was with Canton In the solemn hour of President McKinley's funeral. At ixactly half past 2 o'clock (half cast 1 in Canton) the city ceased fiom labor, practically from- locomotion, for live minutes. There was no ofiicial proclamation requiring such observance of the funeral hour, nor had there been any general agreement for huch observance. Bu. whin the hour came, as if by common Instinct, men, women and children, white and black, came to a sudden nalt in whatsoever they were er gaged and sat or stood as still as statues wheresoever they chanced to be. Men on foot and on bicycles, the drivers of carriages and draft wagons, thafleurs and trainmen blood la mute supplication for the dead, fclreet cars throughout the city were at a, standstill and generally the car operatives and their passengers united in a silmt service v.hieh caused spectators to look on as If It were "the hush of being newly born." Telegraph Instruments, typewriters, elevators, irdee.I, all the appurtenances cf business throughout the capital were, for the time, nois.-uss, and the great city w:ii quiet as a. prayer at midnight. Jt was a beautiful contribution to ne Nation's breath of prayer and It U safe to say that Washington never before in ltd n;3tory beheld ao unique and striking, nor so krontdiuuus Kni unconventional a token ol respect and leve for anv man. AT M'KIN LEY'S LATE CHURCH. To the people of Washington the late President McKinley was more than an official he was their kindly guardian, and they rendered their tributes of respect with their whole hearts. The people. In accordance with President Roosevelt's proclamation, assembled la their churches to participate In the memorial services, and rarely have the places of worship been so crowded. All denominations. Protectant. Catholic and Jew, united in these. Tne Metropolitan M. E. Churcn, where Mr. McKinley worshiped, was the center of iirlerest, and here the services were more impressive than elsewhere. The President's pew was draped in black and left vacant. It was originally set apart for President Grant, and has ever since borne the inacription. "Our President." The crowd could not be accommodated in the main body of the church, and a second service progressed simultaneously in the lecture hall. Dlshop Warren and Dr. Crawford epoke, In euch place. The services weie presided over by the Rev. Dr. Naylor, assisted by Dr. Hugh Johnson, of Baltimore, the former pastor of the church, and the Rev. Dr. George B. Teach. The hymns were the favorites of the late President. A tribute was read from Bishop Cranston. One significant utterance by Dr. Crawford was that the President's words, when Czolroea was assaulted, would do more for law and order than anything that had been said for a generation. The services at the Episcopal ProCathedral also were elaborate and imfresslve. They were personally conducted y Bishop Satterlee, assisted by Rev. Dr. William L. Devries. rector of St. Mark's, and Chaplain Pierce, of the Eleventh Infantry. U. S. A. The bishop's address was Hetlc and beautiful. He felt called upon, ie said, to sound a note of warning against the unshielded and unprotected position in which the American people place their chief magistrate and to reproach them rather the "icnorant. plottinc Anarchists for the third tragedy In the Nation's history." JUSTICE BREWER SPOKE. Justice Brewer, of the United States Supreme Court, elellvered the principal address at the First Congregational Church. His keynote was the need of impressing upon all Americans the necessity of a personal respect for the law. He deprecated the general suggestions that the people take the law into their own hands ami put every Anarchist speedily to death. While anarchy may be the extreme of lawlessness, lie said, every breaking of the law breathes, taaugh in a slighter degree, the same spirit ef lawlessness. It was the duty of the citizens to show by their own conduct and example that social order was the culmination of human happir.es-. At All-souls Unitarian Church Hon. Carlo'.l D. Wright, commissioner of labor, was the principal speaker, though Secretary Iong when called responded with a few brief remarks eloquent with praise for the memory of thp dead President. Mr. Wright's address was reminiscent of personal memories of th late President, and be drew Interesting parallels between his career and thoie of Lincoln and GartieM. The Itev. Dr. John Paxton was the speaker of the day at the New York-avenue Presbyterian Church, his theme being "It is God's Way." "This i not an Indignation meeting." said Dr. Paxton. "but a funeral ?rvlce. not to curse assassins and to advocate lawlessness in exterminating lawlessness." Gen. H. V. Boynton read the President's proclamation and he recalled the word of Garfield on hearing of Lincoln's assassination: "God reigns and the govern'mnt at Washington still lives." The services at the Catholic church'were elalorate and touching, as they were at the Grace Reformed Chaptl. where President Roosevelt worshiped when u resident In Washington. oiiio wan a silent sun; Unsitte Whs Suapended While the Funeral Was lu Proicre.

Street car service v&s suspended for a period of live minutes at the time the funeral procession left the church, while at the same time the click of the telegraph instruments was silenced. Sorrow was depicted on every countenance, for the citizens of this city fed that In the death of the beloved McKinley they have been sadly bereaved. Exactly at 1:30 p. m. every wheel on the Pennsylvania and Hocking Valley and allied lines stopped for ten minutes. In the large auditorium 5.0") people gathered. Addresses were mad by President W. O.

The speakers were President XV. O. Thompson, of the Ohio State University, Allen W. Thurman, Congressman Emmett Topkins. Hon. Henry J. Booth and Director of Law Luke O. Pyrne. Appropriate resolutions were adopted. MARIETTA. O.. Sept. 19. Gen. A. J. Warner, president of the National Bimetallic League, and one of the original silver advocates while in Congress with McKinley, was the orator of the day at a very large memorial meeting here to-day. He had been a political opponent of McKinley all his life and paid a most eloquent and touching tribute to him as a man of the purest character and highest attainments. TOLEDO, Sept. 13. Forty thousand people heard the memorial address delivered from four stands In the Courthouse Park this afternoon in memory of President McKinley. Every business house In ths city was closed all day.

AT m:w VOitK. Great Slectlnjc In Jlad lon-So.uare Garden Attended hy Twenty Thousand. NEW YORK, Sept. 19. All business, except work of necessity, was suspended In this city to-day in respect to the me'mory of President McKinley. In all churches and synagogues special services were held and public meetings were held at various places, at which addresses were made eulogistic of the life and public services of the dead President. In marked contrast to the ordinary holiday custom here all sporting events scheduled for to-tlay were either abandoned or postponed. The public golf links in the parks were closed. In addition to the closing of stores, banks and other places of business, it was announced that all street car and railroad traffic would stop for a period of five minutes at the time the funeral services were to begin at Canton. Fully 20,00) people crowded into Madisonsquare Garden during the afternoon and stood for the most part with uncovered, heads as a band gave a memorial concert, at which "Nearer, my God, to Thee," "Lead, kindly Light" and the "Dead March In Saul" were played. A memorial musical service was also held in Union square during the hour of the funeral at Canton, which was attended by thousands. The memorial service in the crypt of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, on Morningside Heights, at which the Rev. Henry Potter, bishop of this diocese, assisted, were of such interest that more than 16,0)0 persons endeavor d to attend them. Of this number 1,-U0 obtained admission to th crvtit. which has accommodation lor s seated congregation of boo. The result was that the crypt was so crowded that two women and a man fainted. Fifteen thousand persons were turned away and some of them attended overflow services in the chapel at St. Luke's Hospital and on the steps of Columbia University. The leading thought in Bishop Potter's sermon was expressed in these words: "Men and brethren, ia this solemn and august moment we snould it iiieiiiUer that we cannot have the freedom of a Republic without the responsibilities of u Republic. We must have a great system of free education, a system that will reach and enlighten the perverted minds of all persons of whatever age, so as to give them true comprehension of the principles underlying our government." Later Bishop Potter attended Old Trinity Church, where ne conducted the regular burial service of the Episcopal Church, assisted by a large number of the clergy of the parish. Pontifical mass was celebrated in St. Patrick's Cathedral by Archbishop Corrigan. Half an hour before the mass the big bell In the cathedral tower began to toll. Thousands were at this time hurrying to the services. It was noticeable, that the men were dressed in black and the women avoided bright colors. Every one wore some token of mourning, a bit of crepe tied to the button-hole or pinned to the bodice. Before the service began the cathedral was crowded there being so many there that the aisles were filled with kneeling and standing people and even the choir chancel at the left of the altar was filled. Governor Voorhees by his presence at the memorial service held in the First Presbyterian Church, at Paterson, N. J., gave official tone to the exercises, which were also attended by the city and county officials and officers of the Mexican government, who are superintending work at one of the shipyards. The 2i0 passengers of the HamburgAmerican liner BelgravLi, from Hamburg, which arrived this afternoon, had just reached the dock at Hoboken as the clock struck 2:J0. Instantly every one stopped and stood for five minutes with uncovered heads. With that all work on the dock with the nofso of the engine3 and the longshoremen was stopped, causing an impressive silence. While the people waited the band of the steamer Pennsylvania, lying alonslde, played Chopin's funeral march nnd a quartet sang "Nearer, my God, to Thee." Members of the Masonic fraternity of this city and their families filled Masonic Temple to overflowing to-night at a memorial service. Grand Chaplain Read made the address. In every city, town, village and hamlet In Long island and New Jersey the day was appropriately observed. After dark this evening the streets of New York city were practically deserted. None of the theaters and other places of amusement was opened and darkened windows were the rule in all sections of the city. ACTION OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. Ilenolut Ioiim Adopted at t!ie Annual Meeting: of Members. NEW YORK, Sept. 19. At the annual meeting of the members of the Associated Press, which was convened in this city under the by-laws, resolutions were unanimously adopted, which, after reciting that the late President, William McKinley, "beloved and honored by the people of the whole country, has been murdered by the ruthless hand of an Anarchist assassin," and that "his noble qualities and his conspicuous example as a brave, generous, sympathetic and lovable man, h!s virtues as a citizen and officer of the Republic, his deeds as a patriot who Inspired love and sympathy between tne sections and the people of our common country had endeared him to the whole Union," continue: "Resolved bv the Associated Press. That In common with the whole country it deplores his tragic dtath as a national calamity; that the sympathy of this body be expressed to his bereaved wife. who. deprived of his loving care and comfort and of hi affectionate so'icitude. should become to long as she livts the ward of the Nation in all that can be properly done to give expression to the country's appreciation of her lamented husband's virtues and to the unspeakable sorrow with which it views his martyrdom; that we call upon the States and the Nation to take prompt and emphatic legislative ste; s to deal adequately with the advocates of the damnable doctrine which teaches that law and order must be overthrown, and which the world over openly adopts ass issination us the instrument of its operation. The Anarchist has no place In this country and he should Iks made to understand that he will be dealt with In the same manner as any oth?r plague or pesdilenee which threatens the public security; that we felicitate the country in having met so firmly the trying ordeal of the past week. In which the enduring strength and security of its institutions have tuen again so strongly iu:.nlies!ed; that In this, as in all other national advsrit, the patriotism, the loyalty and the fervor of Its law -abiding citizens should hold in such even balance the vast commercial and other interests which rct upon popular confidence In safe and secure government is a tribute well worthy of our

great people to the government which their devotion has made the greatest of the governments of the earth."

wiTiioiT v it k c i : i j i : r . Every Telegraph Instrument Stopped Clicking for Five Minute. CHICAGO. Sept. 1?. One feature absolutely unique in history characterized the McKinley obsequies. It was the silencing of the telegraph. Never before since electricity was first put to use as a means of communication from city to city and from country to country has there taken place, It i said, anything paralleling even in a small way what was uone tnis afternoon on a cale that was gigantic. Lpoii orders from the cdflciuls or tue unterem telegraph companies, or upon the common impuise of Operators wheie instructions were no', received, the. entire telegraph system of the United States was suddenly husned for five minutes at 2:'Jn p. m., the nour set for lowering tn3 President's body into the grave at Canton. At that moment on all the huge network of wires from the Atlantic to ,the Pacific not a ".sounder" in the land gave a single tick, and the great ocean cables were pulseless as the corpse of the late chief magistrate himself. More than once prior to to-day thousands of miles of railway and vast armies of men, industrial or military, have paused as a tribute to the dead, but the cessation of the telegraph for such a cause, or. indeed, for any reason, is without precedent in the world's record. It Is estimated that fully IOu.cmj telegraph operators thus simultaneously paid homage to the memory of McKinley. The total number of miles of wire affected was upwards of a million and a quarter. In the Westc-rn Union Chicago office the hundreds of operators all arose at their desks when the moment came, and, joining their voices, sang with deep feeling the President's hymn, "Nearer, my God. to Thee." The wires of the Associated Press, the Postal Telegraph Company, the North American Company, the Chicago and Milwaukee Company and all similar organizations were Included In the general stoppage. Probably the most remarkable method of producing complete silence on the wires, free from any possibility of Interruption, was employed by the Postal Telegraph Company. At a given signal the dynamos were disconnected at once, literally draining the circuits of electricity, so that everywhere all the wires were technically and literally "dead." A dispatch from New York says: At tho time set for the removal of the late President's remains to the cemetery the Commercial Cable Company's cables and land lines in America. Canada, England, Scotlard. France and the Azore islands were sltent for five minutes. The lines of the Postal Telegraph Company observed the same ceremony, and the leased wire system of the Associated Press also suspended. The Western Union Telegraph Company observed holiday hours throughout its entire system anil all the signaling on the international cables and land lines of the We?ern Telegraph Company's central cable office was suspended, every instrument being silenced for five minutes. MUFFLED HELLS TOLLED. Only 'olse that Broke the Silence of Cliicago'H Monrnliigr. CHICAGO, Sept. 13. The noises of a great city were hushed and Its commerce suspended for a few minutes to-day, while mourning thousands paid their last tribute to the memory of William McKinley. Tho silence was broken alone by mullled bells tolling off the fifty-eight illustrious years of the dead President's fife. During the forenoon memorial services were held in nearly all churches. Between twenty and twenty-five thousand men marched in the funeral procession which followed a draped carriage. Its empty seats were mote eloquent than words of the Nation's loss. In this carriage, two years ago, the President rode through two long aisles of applauding people. Unfurled near the carriage was a flag which had llown over the President on occasions of rejoicing in Chicago, in Canton and in Washington. in common wita oiner ciues. an Dusiness, not already suspended, stopped at 2:M p. m. for five minutes. For the first time in history the pulsing heart of Chicago's commerce ceased almost entirely, while sorrowing citizens stood with doffed hats in respectful sile nce. Business ge nerally was suspended during the day and the streets were draped in mourning. An immense audience gathered at the Auditorium to-night to honor the memory of the dead President. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Marquette Club, and was addressed by Gen. John C. Black, former commissioner of pensions, Rev. Father Edward Kelly, of St. Cecilia's Roman Catholic Church, and Rev. Frank W. Gunsaulus. Dr. Gunsaulus said in closing: "More than resolutions of conventions, more than party promises or official orders, the awful sacrifice of Garfield and the spirit flowing from his wounds have fatally struck the spoils system. More than jails or scaffolds, more than national armaments or stringent legislation, the gentle, pure, just and loving spirit of William McKinley flowing from his wounds will at last, under God's helping hand, annihilate anarchy. Civilization costs; but it is worth all it costs. These graves have been dug in the hearts of the American people, but t:ey alone will keep the heart of the Nation strong and pure. It Is fitting that we should reflect upon that majestic power for selfsacrifice which won victory after victory, until It reached Its grandest triumph in conquest over death itself. When he came to death at the very moment when the aims and purposes of his life had brought forth a visible harvest of seed, he transformed death into a messenger of the Highest, and made him servant of that same self-sacrificing spirit that said: 'It is God's way. His will be done.' " AT PHILADELPHIA. Tributes liy Wayne MncVenBh nnd Archbishop Ilynn. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 19. Philadelphia's tribute to the martyred President was paid to-night at a great memorial meeting" in the Academy of Music. So great was the crush, both within and without the building, that the spacious Horticultural Hall adjoining the academy was thrown open for an overflow meeting. Distinguished men of the city from every walk of life were either In the audience or on the stage. Tributes to the dead were pronounced by men in high station. Mayor Ashbridge preskled and delivered a short opening address. The other addresses were made by the Hon. Wayne MacVeagh, who was in President Garfield's Cabinet, Archbishop Ryan, of the Roman Catholic diocese, and Assistant United States Attorney General James M. Beck. The invocation was delivered by the Rev. George D. Baker, of the First Presbyterian Church, and the benediction by Bishop Ozi W. Whitaker. of the Protestant Episcopal Church. The hymns that have stood out most prominently during the obsequies over the dead leader In the three cities were sung by the audience. Resolutions of sympathy for the late President and calling upon the government to suppress anarchy were adopted. Wayne MacVeagh spoke with considerable effort when he said that he knew intimately each one of the martyred Presidents, lie recalled how he was sent for on the night Lincoln was shot; how he sat by Garfield when he died just twenty years smo to-night, and how he heard with horror of the blow struck at McKinley. "President McKinley," he said, "w as a" brave and faithful soldier in one of the most righteous wars er waged. He was a good citizen, a good President, a good husband and he lived and died a good man." Archbishop Ryan said: "President McKinley had many elements of greatness, but above all h had the greatness of goodness. Many men have come to greatness, but have not had the greatness of goodness. He was Impartial and he knew no distinction but the distinction of merit." The archbishop drew lessons from the national tragedy. He deplored the hold that anarchy lias taken in this country, Anarchy, he said, stood for no government. "What we call disorder Anarchists call order," he said, "and Christianity must step in and sole the problem." Hethanked God that in the present calamity lie had given to tne .Nation a man who would take up tne responsibilities of the presidency office. with a courage that b fits the HIS LIFE WORK DON E. Veteran IMctr Tups" at n Melvliiley Mcmorlal and Died Soon After. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Sept. 13. -John Humphrey, a veteran at the National Soldiers' Home, Im this city, met a dramatic death to-day. Viunphrey attended memorial fcTvlces for the late President, and at the conclusion blew taps witn his buyle. He thereupon retired to his quarters and expired within a few minutes. Humphrey complained yesterday of being ill. but refused to ko to the hospital. "I must live one more day." he said, and when the veterans assembled for memorial services he was with them. It seemed thv

his last wish was to participate in the tribute to the dead President and his desire being granted he was willing to give up. Humphrey was a veteran of Company H, Ninth Infantry, and came from Appleton, Wis.
