Ceremonies ii Rotunda of Capitol

SOMBER DAY FITS OCCASION
All Lands Join in Paying Honor to the
Executive Whom They Respected
Dead Precedent Begins Journey to
Last Resting Place at Canton
Washington Sept 18 All the
earthly remains of William McKinley
speed toward his last resting place
in Canton 0 after the nation had
officially and with state ceremony
paid its trihute of respect and love to
the memory of its stricken chief mag
istrate This was almost the closing
act in the awful tragedy which has
drenched the civilized world in tears
Beneath the white dome of the capitol
funeral services of state were held
yesterday over the remains of the
deaf1 president It was eminently
that the services should be con
ducted in that beautiful rotunda hal
lowed by the history of last sad rites
of two other martyrs to the cause of
the republic As befitted the occa
sion and the character of the man
whose body was lying cold and rigid
jiear the services were simple They
Tere conducted in accordance with
the rites of the Methodist Episcopal
church of which President McKinley
was a life long member Consisting of
only two hymns a song a prayer an
address and a benediction they were
beautiful and solemnly impressive
Gathered around the bier were repre
sentatives of every phase of American
-national life including the president
and the only surviving ex president
-and the representatives at this capital
of almost every nation on earth
Great Britain France Germany Italy
and Spain and all the republics to the
southward of the United States min
gled their tears with those of the
American people
in the Rotunda
Despite the fact that no attempt
had been made to decorate the interior
of the rotunda beyond the arrange
ments made about the catafalque the
passage presented a memorable
Idack The somber black of the civil
ians was splashed with the blue and
sold of the army and the navy and
the court costumes of the diplomatic
-corps As the sweet notes of Presi
dent McKinleys favorite hymn Lead
Kindly Light floated through the
great rotunda the assemblage rose to
its ieet Bared heads were bowed and
eyes streamed with tears At the
conclusion of the hymn as Rev Dr
INaylor presiding elder of the Wash
ington district rose to offer prayer
the hush that fell upon the people was
profound When in conclusion he
repeated the Lords prayer the great
audience joined with him The mur
mur of their voices resembled nothing
Jess than the roll of far distant surf
Scarcely had the word Amen been
breathed when the liquid tone of that
sweetly pleading song Some Time
Well Understand went straight
Mrs Thomas Noyes of this citv and
the beautiful refrain was echoed and
Te echoed by the double quartet choir
The venerable bishop Edwin G An
drews of Ohio the oldest bishop of
the Methodist Episcopal church then
took his position at the head of the
bier A gentle breeze stirred the
delicate blooms which lay on the coffin
and the peace that passeth all under
standing seemed to rest on the ven
erable mans countenance as he be
gan his eulogy of the life and works
of William McKinley His words
were simple but his whole heart was
in every one of them His tribute to
the Christian fortitude of the dead
president was impressive Upon the
conclusion of the sermon the audi
ence as if by prearrangement joined
the choir in singing Nearer My God
to Thee All present seemed imbued
with a sentiment of hallowed resigna
tion as the divine blessing was asked
by the Rev W H Chapman acting
pastor of the Metropolitan Methodist
Episcopal church upon the living and
the dead Mrs McKinley bereft of
husband and prostrated by her over
whelming sorrow did not attend the
at the capitol It was deemed
w se by those now nearest and dearest
tc her that she should not undergo
the ordeal her attendance would entail
-on her She remained at the white
house comforted by every attention
that loving thoughtfulness could sug
gest
Day Fits the Occasion
The day dawned gray and dreary
The sky was overcast with low flying
clouds Nature itself seemed to be in
rmourning for the nations dead As
the hours passed dashes of rain fell
at intervals but despite this discom
fort tens of thousands of sorrowing
people appeared early upon the
streets Both sides of Pennsylvania
avenue from the white house to the
capitol were massed with an impene
trable cordon of people wishing In
this way to pay final tribute of love
and respect for the dead
As the funeral cortege escorted by
troops representing every department
of the nations martial service and by
representatives of religious and civic
organizations passed down the broad
thoroughfare to the solemn notes of
the Dead March from Saul- wailea
Iiy the bands the sorrowing people
tared their heads despite the rain and
many tear stained faces bespoke their
griefs more eloquently than words It
was a silent throng With aching
hearts all remembered that only a few
months ago the dead president then
in the fullness of life and triumph
had passed along that same thorough
fare to be inaugurated a second time
president The flags that had fluttered
greeting to him in March were furled
and crepe bedecked in Sepiember
The cheers of spring became the sobs
of autumn Grief had usurped the
place of joy As with solemn and
cadenced tread the procession moved
down the avenue the people recog
nized as one of the mourners their
former president Grover Cleveland
the staircase Police and military
guards were swept aside and in al-
most a twinkling there was a crush i
at the foot of the great staircase The j
immense throng swept backward and
forward like the surging of a mighty
sea Women and children a few of i
the latter babes in arms were caught
in the crowd and many were badly
hurt Strong men held children and j
even women high above the heads of
the surging crowd to protect them
lrom bodily injury Despite the ef
forts of the police and military and
cooler heads in the throng probably
100 persons were injured Some of
the more seriously hurt were carried
into the rotunda where first aid treat
ment was given them A number were
hurried to hospitals but the majority
were either taken to or subsequently
sent unassisted to their homes After
the crush had been abated upon the
staircase and plaza in front of it were
found tattered pieces of mens and

Just at 11 oclock a frightful

People File by Loved Chief
Sad as was the procession which
bore the body to the court house
where it lay in state during the after
noon it could not compare with the
infinite sadness of that endless double
line of broken hearted people who
streamed steadily through the dimly
lighted corridors from the time the
coffin was opened until it was taken
home to the sorrowing widow at night
fall They stepped softly lest their
lootfalls wake their friend from his
Tears came unbidden
Perhaps it was the
great change that had come upon the
countenance which moved them more
than the sight of the familiar features
The signs of discoloration which ap
peared upon the brow and cheeks
Tuesday at the state ceremonial in
the rotunda of the capitol at Wash
ington had deepened The lips had
become livid All but two of the
lights of the chandelier above the
head were extinguished in order that
the change might appear less notice
able but every one who viewed the
remains remarked the darkened fea
tures and the ghastly lips When
the body was taken away thousands
were still in line and the committee
in charge of the arrangements was
appealed to to allow a further oppor
tunity today to view the remains be
fore they were taken to the church
But this had to be denied to them
and the casket may never be opened
again
All through the afternoon the crowd
passed the catafalque approximately at
the rate of 100 every minute making
in the five hours the body lay In
state a total of 30000 people

Body Taken to White House
The remains of President McKinley
now lie in the east room of the white
house where for more than four j ears
he had made his home as the chief
magistrate of the great American re
public Upstairs his widow mourns
for her dead in the family apartments
that now bring back but the saddest
of memories It was with simple cere
mony and a silence that fitted perfect
ly the sadness of the occasion that the
body of the late president was borne
up Pennsylvania avenue to the white
hniisp nnrl Tnirl nnnn fio in v 1
great east room where he had stood
so often in the pride of his manhood
to receive thfi frrppHnes nf tho nnm
mon people he loved better than him-
self It was fitting that such cere
mony as there was should be military
in character Nowhere was there a
show of civilian participation The
streets about the station were filled
with mounted troops and the station
itself was occupied by stalwart sol
diers and sailors in uniform The blue-
i coated policemen and the railroad em
ployes were nearly all taken from
civil life It was not so on Pennsyl i
vania avenue There the people
strained and crowded in a vast multN
tude against the stiff wire ropes whch
restrained them from the space
marked out for the line of procession
The silence that marked the progress
of the funeral party through the na
tional capital was profound The peo
ple as a whole did not talk even in
whispers and the only sign of agita
tion in the great crowd was the silent
pressing and striving against the ropes
to see the mournful cortege which
swept slowly along
The afternoon was cloudy and at
f -
Iho clo e of the day began lho dull
depressing boom of a great gun at
intervals of live minutes It was the
signal which gave notice of tho ap
proach of tho funeral train At tho
Pennsylvania railroad station men In
bright uniforms gathered a mixture of
soldiers and sailors and with lowered
voices talked in groups while waiting
to take up their parts In the ceremony
From the brigadier general ana naval
captain down to the humblest lieu
tenant every official on duty was there
save a few of high rank who composed
the guard of honor and awaited at the
white house
Train Not Quite en Time
The tram was due at 825 p m
but the clock stood 838 when tho
headlight of the big locomotive flashed
along the rails and the cars rolled
quietly to a stop at the gates One
of the large windows was lowered
at the side and slowly and carefully
the casket was slipped out through the
opening and tenderly received upon
the bent shoulders of the body bear
ers Four artillery men from Fort
McHenry were on the right and four
sailors on the left Straightening
themselves under their burden they
walked slowly toward the hearse
Just beyond the entrance to the sta
tion President Roosevelt with the
members of the cabinet had paused
and had taken station so as to leave
a broad space for the funeral cortege
They ranged themselves on the side
walk in double rows opposite each
other and stood with bared heads as
the corpse was carried to the hearse
drawn up at the side of the gate Tho
hearse was an exquisitely carved af
fair and was drawn by six coal black
horses Just as the body was being
placed in the hearse an incident oc
curred that caused a murmur of dis
approbation A photographer from a
nearby window suddenly Hashed a
light for the purpose of obtaining a re
production of the scene The Hash
light and accompanying noise made
people shudder President Roosevelt
seemed momentarily disconcerted
The hearse bearing the third martyred
president quickly moved away and
was followed at once by President
Rooserelt and those accompanying
him Secretaries Root and Hitchcock
Attorney General Knox and Postmas
ter General Smith followed in another
carriage while Secretary Wilson Sec
retary Cortelyou Secretary Long and
Senators Hanna and Fairbanks drove
behind in other carriages The citi
zens committee from Buffalo officers
of the army and navy and friends fol
lowed
Tears Shed for MKinley
As the procession swept from the
Sixth street station into Pennsylvania
avenue a deeply impressive sight was
presented The historic thoroughfare
was hung in black Emblems of the
nations mourning were displayed on
every building Banked on each side
of the street to the executive man
sion were tens of thousands of peo
ple They were come to pay their trib
ute of respect to the memory of their
president With bared heads the peo
ple watched with tear stained eyes
the Inst home coming of President
McKinley
Where the Casket Rests
The carriage containing Mrs Mc
Kinley Dr Rixey and Mrs Abner Mc
Kinley had preceded the funeral cor
tege to the white house by some little
time When the sad cortege arrived
at the white house the hearse stopped
under the portico arch The body
bearers lifted the coffin on their shoul
ders and passing up the three steps
waited until President Roosevelt and
the members of the cabinet had
alighted from their carriages and fol
lowed them Just in the center of
the east room under the great chan
delier they deposited their precious
burden upon a black draped base
Piled about it were a half hundred
floral emblems of exceptional beauty
Two marines a sailor and a soldier
stood guard on each corner of the
casket while seated on either side
were two members of the Grand Army
and two members of the Loyal Legion
These were relieved at intervals of
two hours during the night
Sing Song Dear to President
An interesting incident of the pa
rade was the singing of Nearer My
God to Thee by a group of spectators
just as the hearse containing the late
presidents remains turned from the
Sixth street depot into Pennsylvania
avenue The air was taken up bv the
throng and sung with feeling Again
as the hearse passed through the gate
way at the white house the same
strains were softly sung by a number
of people across the avenue
