The silent tormof William MeKlnley was borno. from UutTaluhi Impressive state yes terday and ttvken on Its last Journey to the national capitol , i The remains of President MeKlnley l.o In the cast room of the White house where for more than four years he had made his home as the chief magis trate of the great American republic. Upstairs his widow mourns for her dead In the family apartments that now bring back but the saddest raem- orles. It was with simple ceremony and a silence that fitted perfectly the sadness of the occasion that the body of the late president was borne up Pennsylvania avenue to the White house and laid upon the bier in the great east room , w hei e he had stood BO of ten In the pride if Ills manhood to receive thonieotlnysof thocommon people he loved better than himself. , It was fitting that such ceremony as there was should be severely military tn character in recognition of the fact that the president was the command- cr-In-chief of tlio United States army and navy. Neither 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 soldiers and sailors in uniform. The blue-coated policemen and the. lallroad employes were nearly all thut stood tor civil Jife. { AVENUIC HOLDS A MULTITUDE. It was riot so on the broad stretch of avenue that led Lo the White house. There tilic people strained and crowded in a vast multitude against the still wire ropes which restrained them from the space marked out lor the line of procession. .Silence which narked tlio 'progress ot the funeral party through the national capitol waspiotound. The only sign of agitation in the great crowd was the silent pressing and striving against the ropes to see the mournful cortege which slowly swept along. The afternoon was cloudy and with the close of the day began the dull , depressing boom ot a great gun at in tervals or live minutes. It was the signal which gave notice of the approach preach of the luneial train. UKMOVE UIUlAtNb I'KOJl CAU , I One of the large windows was low ered at the side of the observation car and slowly and caiefully the casket was slipped out through the opening and tendeily received upon the bent shoulders of the oudy bearers. As tne casket emerged a bugle note rose clearly and "taps" rang out. That was the only sound that broke tne dead silence. T FOLLOWS II ISA HSU. .lust beyond the entrance to the station , President Roosevelt , with the members of the cabinet , ranged them selves on the sidewalk in doubl rows and stood with bared heads as the corpse w&s carried to the hearse. The hearse bearing the third martyred president quickly moved away and was followed at once by President IloobC- yelt and those accompanying him. As the piocesbim swept from the Sixth streotstation into Pennsylvania avenue , a deeply impressive sight was presented. The historic thoroughfare ' was hung in black. Urnblems of the nation's mourning were displayed on every building. The stars and stripes furled and knotted withcrepo floated from hundreds of windows. Hanked on both sides of the avenue , from Sixth street to the executive mansion , were tens of thousands of people , who with bared heads and with no murmur of sound , watched with tearful eyes the last homecoming of President Mo Kinley. There was no music. Amid the push of the great crowds , only the clatter of the horses' hoofs , ringing sharply upon the pavements , was heard. ' , Jt was half past nine when the head , of the procession reached the White , house giounds and turned into the / - dilveway. i/1- When the sad cortege arrived at the "W bits'house ' the hearse stopped under f the porto cochere. The body-bearers i took the collin upon their broad shoulders and passing up the three or 4 lour steps waited until President 'i Roosevelt and the members of the cabinet had alighted from their carriages - riages and then folio wed them through the wide open door into the east room. Just in the center of the room under the great ci ystal chandelier , they deposited - posited their precious burden upon a black-draped base and stood at salute while the new chief executive and the cabinet members with bowed heads passed by.

Tenderly and reverently those who had known Wil liam MeKlnley best yesterday receiv ed his martyred body Into thoirarrns. They had forgotten the Illustrious career of the statesman In the loss of a great personal trlend who had ' grown dearer to them with the pass ing ( < f the years. They hardly nolle- - cd the president of the United States or ills cabinet or the generals and Admirals iu their resplendent uni forms. The' beautiful flag-draped 'casket ' which contained the body of 'their ' friend and fellow townsman held all their thoughts. Ue had left them two weeks ago this very day In the full tide of the strength of a glor ious manhood and they had brought hlrn back dead. Anguish was In the heart of everyman > man , woman and child. The entire population of the little city and thou sands fiom nil over Ohio , the full strength of the national guard of the state , eight regiments , three bat teries qf artillery , one battalion of cnginceis , 0,000 men in all , the gov ernor' , lieutenant governor find a Jus tice of the supreme court , rcpresent- iTig the three branches of the state government , were at the station to receive the remains. TOW.V UKAI'KD IN 1UACK. The whole town was in deep black. The only house in all this sorrow- stricken cltv. strangers it may seem , without a touch of mourning drap ery , was the old familiar JlcKlnlcy cottage on Notth Market street , to which so many distinguished men in the country have made pilgrimages iu the days that are gone. The blinds were down , but there was no outward token of the blow that had robbed It of ifs most precious pos session. Tlieio was not even a bowel ol crepe upon the door when the stricken widow was carried by Aimer McKinley and Dr.Rixcy through it into the darkened home from which the light , for her , , had flown for ever. Sad as was the procession which bore the body to the court house , whore it lay in state yesterday after noon , it , could not corn pa to with the infinite sadness of that endless double line of broken-hearted people who streamed steadily through the dimly lighted corridors of the build ing from the time the cotlln was opened until it was taken 1101119 to the- sorrowing widow at nightfall. They stopped softly lest their foot falls wake their friend from his last long slex'p. Tears came unbidden to wet the bier. Perhaps it was the great change that had come upon the countenance which moved 'them ' more than the sight ot the familiar feat- uics. The signs of discoloration which appealed upon the brow and cheeks at the state coiemonial in the rotunda of the capitol at Washing ton had deepened. The lips had be come livid. The funeral services will take place at lflO : p. m. at the First Methodist Episcopal church , of which the mar- ' tjred piosldent was a communicant and trustee. Thej will be brief , by the ovpiessed wisli of the family. "Rev. O. J < Milligan , pastor of the Flist Pro-shyteiian chinch , in which President and Mis.

It was a spcctaelcof mourntul giand- tier. Canton ceased to be a town and swelled to the proportions of a great city. From every city and hamlet lit Ohio , fiojn the remote .corners of the south , and from the east and west , the human tide flowed into the town until 100,000 people were within its gates , here to pay their last tribute to the fnllnn chief. The tinal scenes at the First Methodist church whcie the funeral service was held , and at the beautiful Westlawn cemetery , where the body was consigned to ti vault , weic simple and impressive. The service a t the church consisted of a biiof oration , prayers by the ministcis ot thtee denominations and singing by a quartet. The body was taken to West lawn cemetery and Was placed in the receiving vault pending the time when itwill be placed beside the dead children who Yore burled years ago. AN IMPOSING PKOCKS&ION. The funeral procession was very Imposing , and included not only the representatives of the .irmy and navy ot ( he United States , but the full military strength ol tlio state of1 Ohio and thousands of chic , hatei- n il and other organizations. It was two miles long. One of the most pathetic foatuics of the day was the absence of Mis.
