Ucforo 10 o'clock It was clenr to those nt

nnd preparations wero mado for tho last
sad offices of farewell from thoso who wero
nearest nnd .dearest to him. Oxygen had
been administered steadily, but with llttlo
effect In keeping bnck thn approach of
death.
Tho president canio out of ono period
of consciousness only to relnpio Into an
other. Dut In this period, when his mind
waa partially cloar, occurred n scries of
evcnU of profoundly touching character.
Down stairs, with strained and tear-stained
fnces. members of tho cnblnet we.ro grouped
In anxious waiting. They knew tho end
wns nenr nnd that tho time bad cumo when
thoy' must seo him for tho last tlmo on
earth. This was about fi o'clock. Ono .bv
ono they ascended the stalrw.iy, Secretary
Hoot, Secretary Hitchcock Hud Attorney
General Knox. Secretary Wilson was also
thero, but he held back, not wishing to see
tho president In his last ngony. Thero wns
only n momentary stay of tho cabinet offi
cers at tho threshold of the death cbnmber.
Thon thoy withdrew, the tears streaming
down their faces nnd the words of Intens;
grief choking In their throats.

After they left the sick room tho phy
sicians rallied him to consciousness and
tho president askod almost Immediately
that his. wife be brought to him. The doc

lighted up with u faint smllo.as their hand
wero clasped. Sho snt beside him nnd
held his hand. Despite her physical weak
ness, sho bore up bravely under the ordeal.
Tho presldont lu his last period of con
sciousness, which ended about 7:40, chanted
the words of (ho hymn, "Nearer, My God,
to Thoo," and his lost audlblo conscious
words as taken down by Dr. Mnnnat tho
bodstdo wero: "Ooodby, all; goodby. It Is
Ood'a way. - Ills will be done."
Then his mind began to wander nnd soon
ho completely lost consciousness. Ills life.
was prolonged by tho administration of
oxygen nnd the president finally expressed
a desire to be allowed to die. About S:30
tho administration of oxygen ceased and
tho pulso grew fainter and fainter. Ho

At O'.TT Secretnry Cortclyou, who hnd been
much of tho time with his dying chief, eent
out formal notification that the president
wns dying. Hut tho president lingered on,
bis pulse growing fainter and fainter.
Thero was no need for olllclnl bulletins
after this. Thoso who came from tho houso
at Intervals told tho samo story that tho
president was dying nnd that the end might
come nt any time. His tremendous vitality
was the only remaining factor In tho result,
nnd this gavo hope only of brlcf.postpone

might last until 2 a. m. Dr. Mann snld at
11 o'cloek that the president was still alive
and probubly would llvo an hour, Thus min
utes lengthened to hours And midnight came
wlth tho president still battling against
death. - r
At this midnight hour tho Mllburn house
was tho center of n sccno as animated as

hush hung over tho great crowd o'f, watch

Mm Mllburn houso nt 12:06 o'clock. This
was his first visit to tho city and ho had

Shortly after midnight tho president's
breathing was barely perceptible. His
pulso had practically ceased and tho ex

that nothing remained but tho Inst 'strug
gle and somo of tho friends of thrf family
who had remained through tho day began
to leave tho house, not caring to bo pres
ent nt tho flnnl scene.
Such an Intenso state of anxiety existed
among tho watchers that rumors gained
frequent circulation th.it doath hnd al

Tho arrival of tho coroner gnvo rise to
ono such rumor nnd n Hood of groundless
dispatches wero bent, saying that the end
had come. These wore speedily set nt rest
by ii ti offlclnl statement from within tho
house that the reports of death were ground
less nnd that the president still lived.

ordered by tho district nttoinoy of tho
county to go to the Mllburn residence us

hurried to tho home. He was very much
chagrined when Dr. Mann met him. nt the

cot required and tbnt he would be notified
when ho was wntotod. Dr. Mnnn snld that

Thero was really no hope, but thoy did not

Vice President Hoosevelt had been notl
tied early In tho day of the critical stnte
of affairs. There was no longer a doubt
thnt In tho approaehlng death al tho pres

When Mr Hoosevwlt would Inko the oath

Without unseemly haste, the members of
the cabinet will tender their resignations
and the new president will theu be froo to
Initiate his own policy and choose his own

There Is little -possibility tonight that

Wilcox, who entertained the vice president
when ho was here last, snld the best In

Mr. Hooscvclt'a being so fnr out of touch:

by tho Inter afternoon announcement that

"His whole llfo' Bocmcd dominated by
consideration for hlo wlfo, mother- nnd

and I say it without reservation, could over

voted with a renl energy and endurnnco of

his own way to make, ho continued one of
tho peoplo and nevor departed from tho

to strlko down this friend of humanity
whose loss will fall no moro heavily than
upon thoso millions who labor with brnln

of testifying In union with our fellow citi
zens our grief nnd scrrow In this unex

"It Is snd to realize tlint In our beloved
country, where tho people choose their
own rulers, such n crime ub thnt, which w
deplore, could hnvc been possible, nnd thnt,
too, In n season of nimost unexampled prcs
perity. Snddest of all Is It to feel that tho

"I need not urge you, reverend dear sir.
Ir. share In tho public evidences of grief

ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 13. Upon re
celpt of the nows of President McKlnlcy's
death, Archbishop John Ireland dictated tho
following statement to the correspondent
of tho Associated Press:
"The nation mourns, well may sho mourn;
sho has lost her chief magistrate, whom she
loved so dearly; in whom sho so willingly
reposed her pride. William . McKlnley Is
'now dead. Ills memory -will llvo wlown
tho ages as that of one of tho most w'orthy
to havo been tho prosldont of tbe republic
of tho United States. I know hlni closoly;
I esteemed him; I loved him. Ho was the
true man, honest, puro of morals,
generous minded, conscientious, religious.
Ho wns the noblo citizen, proud of being
a son of tho people, brnve on tho battle
field among his country'B perils, Jealous of
Its glory, unswervingly loyal to Its honor
nnd its Interests. Ho was tho typical presi
dent of the ropubllc large minded In his
vision of tho questions bearing upon the
country's fortune, resolute In using the
authority which seemed to him best wenl,
ready na leader of n solf-governlng peoplo
to hearken to tho popular volco and sp far
as prlnelplo and conscience permitted obey
Its behests, even to tho sacrifice of his
personal view. Political opponents dif
fered from hlni In matters of public policy.
They did not, thoy could not, mistrust his
sincerity or his Bplrlt of Justlco and pa
triotism. "Wllljam McKlnloy Is now dead, stricken
down by tbo hand of a vllo assassin. This
makes tho nntlon's sorrow doubly deep,
for to sorrow Is added shamo shamo be
fore her own eyes, beforo thoso of tho
world, that In tho land of civil liberty
there should hnvo been found a man so
ovorwhelmlngly bad as to murder her pres
ident, to murder h'lm who Bcrvcd so well
his fellow men, to murder him who cher
ished so tenderly tho froo Institutions of
America. Shnmo thnt within her own bor
ders tho majesty of tho republic should
havo heen outraged and Its nnmo dls
graced, tho honor of humanity nsenllcd and
its most sncreii rights Imporllcd.
"In our hour of Borrow wo turn to tho
Ood of Notions and commend to Him our
country. In Ills mysterious designs Ho
Judges best to take from us our friend, our
president, dcspltn our earnest prayers that
wo ba allowed to retain hlni among tho
living. Wo murmur not ngnlnst His holy
will, which wc know to bo tho wisdom and
goodness, but In compensation for our
groat loss wo pray that pence be given to
the nation, that blessings descend upon our
people."
