Close behind; the hearse came a carriage In which were seated cx-Prcsldcnt Cleve land, Admiral Roblcy D. Evans and General John Mi Wilson. In n carriage drawn by four flnt, black horses which came next were President Roosevelt, Mrs. Iloosovelt nnd Commander W. S. Cowies. the president's brother-in-law. Then followed a lino of carriages bearing nil the members of tho cabinet, a number of ex-members, and be Jilnd them the diplomatic corps. Curtains were drawn so It was difficult to distinguish t,hor occupants. Silently the funeral party wound down past the Treaa ury building and Into tho broad sweep of Pennsylvania avenue amid profound alienee that was painful to those who only hIx months ngo had witnessed tho enthusiastic plaudits which greeted the dead man as he made the samo march to assume for a sec ond time the honors and burdens of tho presidential office. Hand Play Dirge. The artillery band played n solemn dirge It, wth slow steps, led tho soldiers down the avenue. All the military organizations carried their arm, but with colors draped and furled, The crowds wcro Hllcnt, nil rai sad, mournful and oppressive. Tho people stood with heads uncovered and many bowed In apparently silent prayer m the hearco passed nlong. Tho slow, dri lling rain was falling. After tho carriages In which were the diplomats 'followed n' long linn of others containing tho Justices of tho supremo court, the senate and houso committees appointed to attend tho funeral, tho local Judiciary, tho assistant secretaries of the ovoral executive departments, members of th various government commissions and official reprrsentatlver, of tho Insular gov ernment. Tho remainder of tho procession was composed of a largo representation of local bodies of Knights Templars, over 1,000 mombcrs of the Grand Array of tho Re public, the United Confederate Veterans of tho city of Washington and of Alexandria, Va.; various rellglouu and patriotic socie ties, Including the Sons of the American Revolution; secret societies nnd labor or ganliattons and representatives of out-of-town organizations. i liaal Legion (n iine.

Tho full force of lettof carriers, of Washington, each with a band of black crepe around his arm, walked to the solemn tread ot the dirge. The bannersrll:ofgnliatlons were folded and draped 'with black, and alt the march ing civilians woro mourning badges and white gloves. Fife and drum corps bands rendered at frequent Intervals along tho routo tho president's favorite hymn, "Nearer.

For hours before the arrival of the fu neral eortego at the oast front of the 'cap ital on Impenetrable cordon ot pcopto had massed along the walk and areas fronting tho plaza. Thousands upon thousands ot sorrowing pooplo had gathered here to pay their last tribute of respect nnd lovo to the memory ot the dead magistrate. The entrance to tho senato and house wings ot tho capltol and tho great marble staircase ascending from tho plaza respect ively to tho bouse and acnato were Jammed with people. A good rain was falling, but despite this the vast crowds clung to their places. It was a silent throng. Scarcely even wus tho murmur of whis pered conversation audible. Details ot Soldiers anil Bailors. The pollco arrangements were perfected Mrly In the day. Captains Orosa and Pier on, by direction of (he superintendent of ppltoe. Major Richard. Sylvester, cleared the plaza and threw around It a cordon ot officer. Too. main entrance to tho rotunda of the capltol, in which tho religious exer cises Incident to the obsequies were to be held, was 'reserved for distinguished guests and for the entranco of the funeral party. Shortly after 0 o'clock selected details from the Ninth, Thirty-ninth and Ono Hun dred and Thirteenth companies, ar tillery corps, under command of Captain W. K. Ellis, arrived and were stationed on the north side of the main steps, ascending from the plaza to the rotunda. A similar detachment of seamen from the United States battleship Illinois, under command ot Lieutenant do Stlrguer and Naval Cadets Williams and Ruff, to gether with a detail, of marines from Wash ington barracks, udder command of Captain J. H. Russell, waa stationed on the south aide of the steps. Shortly afterward promi nent officers of the army and navy, In full dress uniform, began to arrive In carriages. Tbey did not enter the rotunda nt once, but remained on the portico to form, in accord ance with general orders, a part of the guard of honor of tho president's remains. Dewey Arrive Hnrlyi Admiral Dewey waa an early arrival. He waa a(Mred In the brilliant uniform of the admiral o the navy, but wore the regular aervlco sword, with a knot ot crepe at the bllt, Instead ot trie handsome sword pre sented to him by the American people. Ha was gven a most oordlal reception.. At 10:12 o'clock tho head of the proces sion arrived at the north end of the capl tol plaza, but Instead ot swinging directly Into tho plaza and pusslng In front ot the capltol, as usually Is done on the occasion ot presidential Inaugurations, the military contingent paired eastward on B street, thence south on First street east. Headed by Major General John R. Iirooko and staff, and the Fifth artillery corps band, the troops swept arouna to the south end of the plaza and them marched to position front ing tho. main entranco to tho capltol. As oon bb they had been formed at rest, the artillery bnnd on the left and the Marine band on the right of the entrance,' the funeral cortege, with Its guard of honor, entered the plaza from the north. Aa the beano halted In front of the main staircase the trpopn, responding to almost whispered commands, presented arms, Cordon of Claard of Honor. The' guard of honor ascended the steps, the naval officers on the right and the army officers on the left, forming a cordon on each aide, Just wlthlp the ranks ot the ar tillery men, seamen and marines. ' As the eight sturdy bod) bearers, four from the' army and four from the navy, tenderly drew the flag-draped casket from the hearse the band sweetly played the Botaa of "Ntarer, My Cod, to Thee." Every head In the vast throne was bared Tiar- hlHlmmH MAM Mlldl t n t,nA,.aM till n silent prayer went up from the thousands 01 ncans. With careful and solemn tread the body bearers began the nsccnt ot the stalrcaso with their precious burden and 'tenderly boro It to the catafalque In the rotunda. NATION PAYS LAST RESPECTS Final Sc'rtlcea Held Over lrel Ictent's lloilr llrfnre Tnklna; It lu Clinton. WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. The funeral services at the capltol over the remains of the late President McKlnlcy were simple asd beautiful. They were of the form pre scribed In the Methodist church. Two hymns, a prayer, an address nnd a benedic tion tomprlsed all of It, yet tho Impression left at the end was of perfection. The people were slow In gathering. Among tho first comers were the army offi cer. General Randolph, chairman ot artil lery and In chargo ot the military arrange ments, nt tho capltol, was first among those, and soon afterward came General DIUcsplc. chief ot engineers, and General Fltzhugh Loo. Soon tho number of officers became too thick to distinguish between thorn and the rotunda began to light up with the flashes of gold lace nnd gilt buttons and flashing sword senbbbards, scattered through the soberly-dressed crowd of civ ilians. Refore 10 o'clock the latter had as sembled In such numbers as to 1)11 the greater part of the seating spneo not re served for the persons In the funeral pro cession who were to enter the rotunda. Just at 10 o'clock Admiral Dewey mado his appearance, accompanied by Genoral Otis, General Davis and General Rugglcs. He glanced bver the scene within and then took up his station nt the eastern entrance, where he was Joined by the other mcmbors of tho guard of honor. Mrs. Hobart, with her son, nnd Mrs. Rus sell A. Alger, escorted by Colonel Hcckcr, also entered during this llmo of wnltlng. Tho clergymen and the choir, tho latter from the Metropolitan '.Methodist Episcopal church, which Mr. MclClnley attended, filed In end were seated nt the head of the catafalque At twenty minutes; to 11 o'clock tho cabinet entered nnd were seated to the south of tho platform, nnd then to tho strnlns of "Nearer, My God. to Thee," by the Marine band outside, tho caskot wns borne Into tho rotunda. Colonel Gillespie led tho way nnd evoryono arose. Tho guard of Honor on either sldo separated nnd the casket wns placed gently upon tho cata falque. Next camo members of the family of tho deceased, Abncr McKlnlcy leading. Thoy woro seated near the head of tho casket.- Mrs. McKlnlcy was not present. Sen ator Hannn was with tho family party. Next tho diplomatic corps entered, all In full court regalia, and were seated to tho south. Former President Cleveland, with General Wilson, his escort, snt In iho first row. Lastly camo President Roosevelt, es corted by Captain Cowies nnd preceded by Mr. Cortclyou, secretary to tho president. Ho was given a seat nt tho end of tho row occupied by the cabinet, Just south ot tho casket. Mr. Roosevelt's face was set and ho appeared to bo restraining his emo tions with difficulty. " When tho noise occasioned by seating tho Into comers had ceased a hush fell upon tho peoplo and then tho choir softly sang "Lead, Kindly Light," Cardinal Nowman'a divine anthem, whllo ovcryono stood In rov erence. At the conclusion ot the hymn Rev. Dr, 1 Henry R. Naylor, presiding elder ot the Washington district Methodist Kplscopal church, delivered tho Invocntlon, whllo tho distinguished company listened vrlth bowed heads. Prayer of Ttev. Ilrnrr Nallor. j O Lord Clod, Our Heavenly Father, n be reaved nation cometh to Thee In Its deep sorrow. To whom can wo go In such nn hour an this only to Thee?

Hut we have been tuught Hint Thou nrt the Hamo yesterday, toduy and forev'er; that with Theo there la no varia bleness nor the least shadow of turning. 80 In the midst of our grief wo turn to Theo for help. Wo thank Tlice, O Lord, that years ngo Thou didst give to this nntton a mnn whose losn wo mourn today. Wo thank Then for tho puro and imrclllsh life ho was enabled to llvo In tho midst of so eventful un experience Wo thnnk Thro for tho faithful and distinguished serviced which ho wns en-bled to render to Thee, to our country and to tho world. We bloss Theo for such n, citizen, for such n lawmaker, for such a governor, for such a president, -for such u husband, for such a Christian example, and for a friend. Dut, Oh, Lord, wo deplore our loss today; sincerely Implore Thy sanctifying' benedic tion. We pray Thee for that dear 0110 who has been walking by hln sldo through the years, sharing his triumphs nnd partaking of his sorrows. Olvo to her alt nesdrrt sustenance, and the comfort her Htrlcken heart so greatly craves. And under tho shadow of this great calamity, may she learn ni never before the fatherhood of Ood and tho matchless character of Ills sustaining grace. And, Oh Lord, we sincerely pray for hlrri upon whom the mantle of presidential au thority has so suddenly nnd unexpectedly fallen. Help him to walk worthy tho high vocation wbcreunto he has been called. He needs Thy guiding hnnd nnft' Thine inspira tion continually. May ho nlwnys present to tho nation and to the world divinely Illumined Judgment, n brave heart and nn unsullied chnrcter. Hear our prnyer, O Tord, for tho ofilclal family of tho administration, In tho arlalm of government; guide them In nil their de liberations ta the nation's welfare and to the glory ot Qod. And now, O Lord, wo humbly pray for Thy blessing nnd consolation to come to all tho people of our land and nation. Forg.ve our past shortcoming, our sins ot omis sion, as well us our sins of commission. Help us to mike the Golden Rule the stnnd nrd of our lives, that wo may "Do unto others as we would have them do unto us." and thus become, Indeed, 11 peoplo whoso and Is the Lord. These things we humbly ask in tho nnme of Him who taught us when wc pray to say: "Our Father, which art In heaven, hal lowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come, my win no none, on eartn iih 11 is in heaven. Give us this day our dally bread, and forgive, us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not Into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for Thine Is thn kingdom nnd power nnd glory, forever. Amen." As tho pastor ceased the voice ot the choir swelled forth and tho rich, pure soprano notes of Mrs. Thomas C. Nores led the hymn, "Sometime We'll Under stand." The music was remarkably effective and touching as the notes came back In soft echoes from the fulness of thn dome overhead. Ah soon as the hymn ceased Bishop Edward G. Andrews of the Methodist Episcopal church, who had come from Ohio to say the lost words over the remains o his llfo:long friend and parish loner, arose. He stood at tho head of Iho casket and spoke In sympathetic voice nnd with many evidences of deen eihoiinn. Th acoustic qualities ot tho rotunda do not: favor btich addresses and, although the. bishop spoko In clear and firm tones, the rippling echoes from all sldcH mado It diffi cult for those a short distance from him to catch hli words. j RUIiup Andrews Sermon.

FROM THE CAPITOL TO CANTON Funeral Train Sainted at All Slntlune, ureai ana nniall, with Tolling RelU. BALTIMORE (On board the funeral train), Sept. 17. On leaving Washington tho long, winding train bearing tha remain of tho martyred Dresltleut nlunvori mil I nln the dark night and hurried like a black streaK on its mournful Journey.

Now and then tho faces of n little mourn ful group, bare-headed, at the side, of the track could be seen by tho light from the denth chamber as the train flashed by nnd as tho llttlo villages between Washington and Baltimore were passed the 'sound of tolling bells came faintly to the heavy hearted mourners aboard. As the train came out of the long tunnels leading to IUltlmoro, before reaching the Union station, thousands of silent forms could be seen and tho dismal tolling of the bells could be heard. A clear drawn buglo call sounded n requiem, At tho Union sta tion crowds packed tho station. Hundreds of people had gnlncd access to the train shed and they gazed sorrowfully at tho cas ket while the locomotives wero being shifted.

With temperatures tanging from 30 to 40 degrees, tho first general frost of tho sea son struck the entire Mississippi valley and tho northwest Monday night, and as a consequence both May and December corn Is riding high on tha market today, being up almost 3 cents. From tho southern boundary of Kansas to tho tar north, from tho Great Lakes west. to tho seaboard states was tbo white coat ing deposited. In 101110 places It was a killing frost, in other localities heavy, while still other sections reported only a light touch. Northern Nebraska, northwest Iowa, both Dakotas nnd the entire northwest com prise tho territory covered by a killing frost. All through this district the temper atures ranged from the freezing point down. Further to tho south, over Kansas and a large part of Nebraskn, tho frost was de noted "heavy."
