trols, tlio heads of the military and naval
establishments, tho governors of states and
k great concourse of people who had known
him, nil Unit Is mortal or tho third presi

committed to tho grave.
It was a spectacle, of grandeur. Canton
ciascd to bo n town and Bwellcd to tho
proportions of n great city. From every
city and hamlet In Ohio, from tho remote
corners of tho south and the cast and wost
thn human tldo flowed Into tho town until

Tho final scenes nt tho First Mcthodlnt

and at tho beautiful West Lawn ccmetcrv.
whero tho body was consigned to n vault,
vero simple nnd Impressive.
Tho ncrvlco nt tho church consisted ot

I'nlted Stnteb, but tho rntlrn military
strength of tho stnto of Ohio and hundreds
of elvle, fraternal nnd other organizations.
Jt was two miles long.
One of tho most pathetic features of the
day was tlio ubsenco of .Mrs, McKlnley from
the funeral surl(:cx nt tho church nnd
cemetery when tho body of her husband
vhs laid to rest. Since, tho first shock of
the shooting, then of death, through tho
ordeal of stnto ceremonies, she had borne
tip bravtiy. Out thorn was a limit to human
endurance and when today enmo It found hor
too weak to pass through the trials of the
final tvrcmonleu. Through the open door
of her room she heard, tho prayer of tho
minister ns 'tho body was homo out of tho
house. After that Dr. Hlxcy remnlnod close
by her sldo nnd nlthough tho full forco
of tbo calamity had como upon her It was
hellovcd by thoso about hor that there
wos n providential mercy In her tears, as
they gave somo relief to tho anguish of tho

vast eoncoursa of people. Regiment

Mere In trlplo lines, from curbs back to
tho lawns. Tho walks had been cleared
nnd the multitude took refuge on tho (rrent
sweep of Inwns, where they formed a solid

lines of soldiers. In front of tho McKlnley
cottnge were drawn up tho two rigid fllea
of body bearers eight sailors of the navy
ml eight Boldlors of the array, awaiting
tho order to go within nnd take up tho
casket.
Just at 1 o'clock tho black chargers ot
,tho Cleveland troops swept down tho street,
their riders four abreast. In tholr brilliant
hiuiar uniform, with flags bound In crepe
nnd every sabro hilt bearing Its fluttering
emblem of mourning. Tho command was
tho signal for tho approach of President
KooHevelt nnd tho members of tho cabinet.
Tho presidential party moved up tho walk
to tho cntranco of tho Iioubo and formed

COMPIKONC, Sept. 19. Emperor Nich
olas passed a day full of Interest. The
morning wiu spent In witnessing tho final
operations of the grand western manouvcrs,
at which tho czar for the first tlmo eamo
Into contact with tho Kronen army operat
ing under war conditions and not merely
In parndo unlfornif. "
The troops were camped on the plain
around Fort Vltry In tho early morning.
Operations began nt 10 on the arrival of
tho rziir, who, surrounded by French and
Russian staff officers, followed most move
ments on horseback. Tho czarina and Pres
ident Loubct, accompanied by M. Wnldeck
Rousseau, tho premier, followed In car
riages drawn by six artillery horses. More
than once the Russian emperor galloped
nhp.ii nmong the soldiers and watched their
proceedings ns though desirous of satisfying
himself of their efficiency nnd valuo ns
fighting units,
Tho skirmishing army early developed an
attack on the minor fort, Kort Kresne, Trio
czar and czarina, with M. !iubct and oth
ers, mounted tho rnrthworks Instdo nnd
watched a whole army corps advance to
tho assault. Tho enemy approached In
heavy lines under cover or tho shells of
their artillery, to which the fort responded.
Tho position was finally carried nt tho point
of tho bayonet. It was a highly theatrical
operation, utterly Imposslblo In wnr, but
carried nut with the dash for which tho
French soldier Is famous, nnd It aroused
tho enthusiasm of thousands of spectators
who followed tho manouvcrs on foot and in
every concelvnblo kind ot vehicle.
A significant Incident Illustrating tho
nnxlety or tho French not only to Insure the
czar's sarety, hut to avoid tho slightest
cnuso for uneasiness on his pnrt occurred
during the nssault. Tho Infantry had
reached tho edgo of tho mont nnd were
pouring Hre Into tho tort when somo ot the
nttacklng party aimed In the direction or
Kmperor Nicholas, who was n prominent
figure nnd stood watching tho vanguard
sliding down poles Into tho moat nnd fix
ing tho scaling ladders. Ono of tho gen
erals noticed tho direction In which tho
rifles werc pointed and hastening to tho
scene '.pushed tho muzzles aside, exclaiming
excitedly: "Don't flro In tho direction of
tbo czar."
When the czar asked to bo shown the now
Krcnch field gun which had novcr been
shown to a foreigner one. a battery of four,
was taken to him. He examined the ma
chine. Then the gun wns put together and
eight Bhots wcro fired with marvelous ra
pidity. In order to denote tho absence of
recoil tho gunners sat on the cnrrl.ige dur
ing tho firing. Tho czar expressed his
ndmlratlon of the astonishing qualities of
the weapon.
It Is worthy of note that the Russian em
peror chatted cordially with General An
dre, tho minister of war, wjilch was an
excellent repudiation of tho nssortlon made
by tho nationalist organs that the czar re.
gardod him as a dlsorgntiizcr of tho French
army. At General Andro's suggestion the
tzar allowed hlmelf to bo clneomedo
graphed. Tho czarina also photographed
with him with Presldont Loubct and the
French minister and officers. She took"
numerous snap shots throughout the day.

BUFFALO, Sept. 20. The Courier this
morning prints tho following:
"Whnt's iho uso of talking about thnt;
I killed tho president. I am nn anarchist
and simply did my duty. That's all I'll
say."
Leon F. Czolgosz, the assassin of Presi
dent McKlnley snld those words today to
Frank OlozonowBkl, editor ot Buffulonoskl,
a Polish newspaper, but would Bay nothing
further about tho crime, whllo willing to
talk freely about other subjects. Olozunnw
ski paid his second visit to the nssasstn's
cell. Ho was sent by tho district nttorney
In pursuance of vain efforts to move tho
prisoner's stubborn tongue. Last week
Olozanowski was unsuccessful. He wont
again today,
"Czolgosz talked on everythur -subject
I suggested," said he. "His conversation
would have been entertaining coming from
a man other than the president's assassin.
Ho talked on tho Polish nlllnnce nnd a va
riety of other subjects, but when I spoke
of hit crlmo ho merely said: 'What's tho
uso or talking about that. I killed tho
president, I am an nnnrcbUt. I simply did
my duty; that's all I'll say.'
"Czolgosz spoke earnestly and deter
minedly. I tried him several ways, but ho
would not add a word to his declaration, I
don't believe any ono has nny more rrom
him nbout the crime. Czolgosz Is Intelli
gent and I don't believe ho will tell more."
The closest watch Is being kept on Czol
gosz nnd the sheriff's officers also scorn
bent on aiding the prosecution by getting
admissions from tho prisoner, but so far
they havo been unsuccessful. Tho prisoner
talks on ordinary subjects occasionally, but
will not talk at nil on subjects lending up
to the nssasslnntlon of tho president. When
questioned In that rolntlon Czolgosz re
sumes his stubborn silence.

To his hellct In God the speaker ascribed

Tho number nineteen Is n fateful day In
tho calendar of tho republic. Jumes A.
Garfield died September 19, Just twenty
years ago today, whllo tho funeral of
Abraham Lincoln occurred nt the capital
on April 19, thlrty-slx years ngo. Kach of
these men met death nt tho hands of nn
asMissln. The death of Lincoln Is attribut
able to the flerro passions engendered by
tho civil war. It was tho culmination of
tho bitter hatred ot four yenrs whlrh had
rearhed n whlto heat. Tho murder of
Garfield was cither tho net of u mndmnn
or tho deed of n debauched conscience and
n malignant heart. Tho assassination of
McKlnley 1b the dellberato net of a man
who Is thn nvowed enemy of nil govern
ment. Tt Is the net of ono who seeks to
bury for nil tlmo tho republic beneath Its
own vast achievements. None of these men
wero tvrants; In fact, a merciful kindness
nnd a 'benignant Justloo were predominant
traits or nil mice, ah oi mean men came
tn their hlch Btatlon from tho nlaln nennla
nnd wero In closest sympathy with tho toll

Is not rqmnrkablo that theso three men,
Lincoln. Garfield and McKlnley, of nil our

Trlbute fit the Worth ot thi
Man nnd the 'resident.
Solemnity Incident to tho burial of ths
lamented president. William McKlnley. at
Canton, O., yesterday was reflected upon
Omaha In history-making measure.
Business nnd pleasure wcro forgotten.
The wheels ot traffic cro clogged. Men
of all stations In llfo bowed together In
reverence for tha fallen executive. Tho
hum of n busy city gavo wny to mourning.
Class, creed nnd partisanship woro for onco
lost sight of by a united pooplo, hearing
in common tho burden of n national grief.
It wns nn epoch, In history.
Cheo'less, Inky skies, a rnw nutumn wind
nnd stillness llko that ot u Puritan Sab
bath tinged oven dnrkcr tho cnvoloplrg
pall of gloom. Not until In tho nfternoon
did the Bun peep through the oomber can
opy and then it flickered hut momentarily
and sank for tho approachclng night.
Business houses, public buildings,
factories, offices In fact almost overy
Institution, Industrial or commercial.
In Omnhn closed nt lenst h pnrt of
tho dny nml memorial exercises
wero he'd In various places. It
wns a pretty demonstration of tho hold tho
lot cblcttnln had upon tho hearts of his
people. William McKlnley was mourned
not only becnuso ho wa president of tho
United Stares, hut ns William McKlnley,
tho mnu, tho citizen, tho brother.
Mxerclse at lloyd'n.
Tho feature of tho memorial exercises
was a masB meeting nt Boyd's thentcr In
tho afternoon, simultaneous with tho lower
ing of tho martyred body Into tho tomb nt
Canton. It was tho original Intention to
hold this meeting under tho Musical Fes
tival tent at Fifteenth street and Capitol
avonue, but fitful spurts ot cold rnlu at
Intervals throughout tho forenoon mimed
a change of plans at the oleventh hour and
uoyas theater was secured for the occa
sion. This cuuscd hundreds to bo turned
away for lack of room. Tho theater was
packed ns It hns never been boforo. Up
stairs, downstairs, In nlalcs, nooks and
corners everywhere, mon; women and
children huddled iBrthii--.rlnVlw im
possible. It Is cstlmntcd that over 2,000
managed to gain cntrauce.
Somo ot tho most prominent cltUcns of
Omnha wcro thorc. Not within the last
quartor century hns there been a moro
representative Omaha assemblage. No other
event could havo brought out such an aud
ience. Tho working man was ihnr inn
n touching testimonial rrom a cIsbs to
iirniiy oerrionded by tho lato president.
Rrent Crush fnr AdmUalon.
Illustrative of tho demand for admission
It may bo remarked that a band of mu
sicians expecting to participate found It
soU unable to g.a In nnd retraced Its steps.
A pollco officer who stood nuar tho en
tronco says thoso who wcro turned awoy
outnumbered thoso who pushed tholr way
In. But for nil of this clamor for ad
mittancu It wns n most orderly crowd, si
lent, solemn nnd rcspctful,
Clorgy Hnd laity raised concerted voice
In tribute to tho departed president and
leading men of contrary political faiths
stood together In holding up tho career of
McKlnley as a model for the rising genera
tion. Such scones aro seldom witnessed.
It was a chapter in tho history ot the'
country. ,
Tho theater was draped in flags nnd
mourning. Orcat flags wcro drawn buck
