Presldetit McKlnley died nt 2;15 o'clock this
morning. He had been unconscious stneo
fi'-M p. m.
His last conscious moment on earth was
spent with tho wife to whuni ho dovutcd a
lifetime' of care.
He was unattended by a minister of tho
gospel, but I1I3 last words wero an humblo
KUbmlaslon to tho will of the Clod In whom
ho believed. Ho was reconciled to tho crilf "
fato to which nn assassin's bullet had con
dcmucil him and faced death In tho same
spirit of calmness and pnlso which has
marked his long nnd honorable career.
Ills last eonsclouB words, reduced to writ
ing by Dr. Mnnn, who stood nt his bedsld'1
when tlay wero uttered, were as follows:
"(loodby, all; good by. It Is God's way. His
twill be done."

Ifi himself of the opportunity, nnd somo ot hla
ul personal and political Irlends took leavo of
him. This, painful ceremony was simple.
Ills friends enmo to tho door of tho sick
room, took n lingering glance nt him and
turned tearfully away.
Ho was practically unconscious during
this time. Hut tho powerful henrt stimu

restore him to consciousness for his final
