It was after 3 o'clock when th6 silent throngs butsldo tho church taw the pageant reappear through the church doors. First came tho guard of military and naval honor, the generals and admirals forming In Joublo lino leading from tho en tr unco to tho waiting hearse. Again the flag-draped casket with Its wealth of flowers appeared and was committed to tho hearse. Tho president and members of tho cablnot followed, arm In arm, and stepped Into the waiting carriages. The relatives entered carriages, next. Then the separate line 'ortroops broke from their battalion front and. wheeling Into platoons, took up the raarih to the-grave. In tho long line ot carriages wero United States ecpators and members of tho house of representatives from every section of the country, Justices of tho fcupromo court, the ranking heads of the army and navy, governors of states and mayors of cities and tho dead presidents fellow townsmen. Out Tuscarawas street the long procession moved through a section of tho city where tho sound of tho dlrgo had not before been heard. It presented the same sorrow trlckcn appearance as did tho center of the city. Funeral arches spanned the street, some of them, it Is understood, having been erected by school children. Tho houses wero hung with black nnd the atately elms along tho way had their trunks hroudod in black and white drapery.' To the Cemetery. -The line of, march from tho church to the cemetery was about one and one-half miles In length. The route, was north on Tuscarawas to Lincoln, west on Lincoln to West Third street and north one square to the gates of the cemetery. For many hours beforo tho time set for the commencement of the funeral services nt tho McKlnloy home tho streets along the entire length of the Hue of march worn crowded with spectators. Frpm the gates of tho cemetery to tho doors of the church there wart on each side of the street an al most unbroken lino of soldiers and at the Intersecting streets detachments of mil itia woro placed about 100 feet from tho thoroughfare aloug which the cortege was to go and nobody was permitted to pats tu either direction. There was not a window that commanded a view of tho line of march that was not filled with faces, the numer ous stands were crowded to their utmost and on the roofs were hundreds of people. From 9 o'ejock In the morning until G In the afternoon, by which time the last of tho parade had passed the church on Its way to the cemetery, this condition nrjvAiiA.i ah nay long the streets were kept clear by tho military and not a vehicle of any description was permitted to enter upon them. Notwithstanding tho dense crowds there were no accidents of any kind reported. Ml. veil to Tt-nrai. No greater- reverence, has evor been shown to any man, living or dead, than was exhibited toward the dead president today. As the funeral car passed through the streets men and women sobbed con vulsively and at the cemetery gates where tho crowd was densely packed and where the people had remained for hours pressing against tho Iron fence, two women fainted during the exercises at the vault. It was a wonderful trlbote of surpassing lovo that was today shown In his natlvn place to tho memory of William McKlnloy and tt will bo long before greater or more reverent houor Is paid to any man. It was exactly four minutes past i o'clock when tho funeral rar boro the remains of the dead president through the gatoway of Mh last resting place. Twenty minutes aftor that time tho brief ceremony at the vault was over, the members of tho family and distinguished men ot the nation, who had come so far to do him honor, had passed through the gates on their homeward way. flentrlm Huard Vault. One hour and twenty minutes after the hearse had entered the cemetery the place was clear and the dead president was rest lug under Die watchful care ot tho men. ot tho regular army. A sentry's tread ro , sounded from the cement walk beforo the vault, another kept 'vigil on the grassy slopo above, nnd at the. head Jid foot of the racket stood armed men, At the door, which was not closed tonight, was pitched the tent of the guard, and there It will re main until the doors are closed tomorrow, Sentries will then guard the vault every hour el tba day and the night until the body has been borne to Its Anal resting place, For nearly an hour before the head of the funeral procession arrived at the gate of tho cemetery, the strains of the dirges played hy the band camo over the hilltops to tho watchers by the vault, telling them that tho procession was on Its way, Finally at 3:30 o'clock the detachment of mounted police heading the procession came around the corner and passed through the cemetery gates. Behind thorn camt the Grand Army band of Canton, the solemn notes of "Nearer, My God, to Thee," welling out as It came up the driveway. A momeut after entering the cemetery the muslo was changed to Chopin's funeral Interlude and It was to the sound of this that tho band passed out and on to Kentucky avenue at the south side of the enclosure. Hundred of Hi Comrade. Dehlnd the band enme the Grand Army pott.i, fully 500 of the veterans marching by. As they passed along the flower strewn path many of them wero weoplng bitterly and they stooped by dozens to gather the blossoms which lay at their feet and carried them away as mementoes. Tbo sweet pea blossoms that wero scat tered along the road were the offerings of the school children of Nashville, Tenn., and no offering of love seen during the funeral exercises more fully fulfilled Its mission or mere completely carried lta message of affection. Tonight hundreds of the blos soms are In the possession of the marchers In the parade nnd are held by spectators who came Into the cemetery after the close of the parade to carry them away. After tho veterans came, In well set ranks with aims at "port," tho men of the Sixth Ohio Infantry, of tho National guard, of the Engineers' corps, of' the National guard from Cleveland and the comrades of the late president In the ranks of the Twenty-third Ohio, volunteers during the civil war. Family anil Ofllclal. Then enme a long line of carriages bear ing the members ot the family and the dis tinguished visitors. From the first car riage that stopped at the front ot the walk leading up to the vault President Roose velt and Commander Cowles of the navy alighted. Without waiting for those In the second carriage, which contained Secre taries Root and Gage and Attorney Gen eral Knox, thb president walked slowly toward the vault and took a position on tho south side ot the vault and close to the door. As Secretary Root came up he assumed a similar position on the other side ot tho walk, and tho other cabinet members ar ranged themselves by the sides of the presi dent and secretary. The president and members of tbo cabinet wero followed bv officers of tho army nnd navy, who stood on each side of the walk, the lines reaching Just to the edge of the roadway. Within a minute after tho formation of the lines the funeral car came up to the walk. The cas ket was gently lifted from the hearse and borno to the door of the vault, where It was rested on the catafalque. It was car ried by the somo men of tho army and uavy who have carried It over slnco it left Buf falo, ncforo them as It came up tho walk valked Colonel Dlngham, who had been aldo to President McKlnley. At Its head on the right walked Lieutenant Hamlin of the army, and In n corresponding position on tho left was Lieutenant Eberlo of the navy. Just as tho bearers lowered tt to thb catafalque Abner McKlnley and Mrs. Bar ber alighted from their carrlago and stood at tho foot of tho line ot ofllcors. They-remained hero for a few seconds and then passed up to the foot of tho casket, where they remained during the brief service, nurlul Service la Itentl. There was a moment's psuso as Colonel Dlngham looked to see that all was readv. He then looked toward Ulshop Joyce of Minneapolis, who read the burial service of tho Methodist church, slowly but In a voice that could be heard distinctly 'by all who were groupod about the vault. As his words ended there was a brief pause, for tt had been understood that a quartet of the Knights Templars was to bo present to ren der a hymn. Through a misunderstanding, however, It had not arrived, and after sat isfying himself of this fact Colonel Dlng ham waved his hand to eight buglers of the Canton band, who had taken station upon the "side of the mound above and to tho south of the vault. Instantly afrom the eight bugles rang out the notes of the sol dier's last call, "taps." It was beautifully dono and tho last notes of the bugles died away ap softly that all who heard It re mained listening for n fow seconds to hear It It was really ended. , Cnhlnet Member Grieve. When the last note had floated away Sec retary Wilson was In tears, Secretary Long was also weeping and tho president was gazing grimly at tho walk. It was tho last moment for the men who had been ho closely associated with the president for so long and the thought seemed to most of them greater than they could bear. Cap tain Dlddlo of Company C, Fourtocnth In fantry, who will command tho guard which Is to be placed around the vault, stepped up to a lino ot five soldiers which he had' posted Just north of the doorway and who throughout the ceremony had stood at "present arms" as rigid as though wrought In Iron. One ot them passed quickly -Isrto tho vault, taking station at tho head of the casket, another placed himself at the foot and three men stood in tho doorway, two on the lower step and the third on tho floor ot the vault directly behind them. There they remained until after the passage of the funeral procession. The president, the members of the cab inet and tne omcers or me army ana navy then entered their carriages and followed by the members of the family passed out of the cemetery and returned to the city. The delay caused by the ceremonies nt the vault being over the procession re sumed Its march. Every man In the line, save those In uniform, who render appro priate honor In other ways, went past the casket with uncovered beads. KnlKhta-Temiilnra Slim. As the head ot the division containing the Knights Templars wheeled Into the cemetery tho quartet that had been delayed took up a posltloni to the south of the vault and saasx "Fare Thee Well. My Brother." This was followed by others, Including "Rock of Ages," the "Christian's Goodnight"- and "The Wayside Cross." The selections wero beautifully rendered and no part of tho funeral cere'montes In Canton was more Impressive. Tho darkucss was gathering fast as tho knights sang on, and many In the multitude around the casket wero moved to tears and tho 'pound of sobs was distinctly audlblo . In the crowd that lined the fence beyond tho line of National gvardsmen. Alone with III Ouard, The last ot the procession patted the bier at G:45 and then orders were given by Captain Dlddlo that the cemetery should be cleured. Tho order was quickly car ried out and the president was left In the care ot his guard of honor.

Tho streets of Canton this morning were filled with wav ing plumes, prancing horses and densely packed bodies of roovlug men assembling hero for tho procession which Is to .escort the remains of the late president from the church to Westlawn cemetery this after noon. All night long civic, military and fraternal organizations from the four quarters ot the compass had been pouring Into the mass of humanity already here. and the early morning trains deposited omcr thousands. So fast tho trains ar rived, following on each other's heel's, that there appeared to be one continuous string of cars unloading their human freight through the depots into tho congested streets beyond. Thirty special trains, In addition to the regular trains, had arrived before noon. The biggest crowd in the his tory of Canton, which was during the cam paign of 1806, estimated at over 60,000, was exceeded today. The people overflowed the sidewalks and literally packed the streets from side to side. The greatest crush, of course, was In East Tuscarawas, the principal thor oughfare, and North Market street, on which the McKlnley cottage and the Harter residence, at which President Roosevelt was .stopping, nro located. The ' crowds upon their arrival all rapved, as tt by a common Impulfo, toward tho old familiar cottaga where the remains were lying. Soldier Stand Guard. ' Military guards stationed at the tour cor ners ot the lawn paced their beats, but there was no other sign of life about the houso of death. The window shades wee down. A long border of black, which had been put In pluce after the body was re moved to the house last night, fringed the roof of the porch from which President McKlnley had spoken to delegations from every state In ,tho union, and where he had met and talked with all the chieftains of bis party. No badge of conventional mourning was on tho door. Instead there was a simple wreath of palms bisected by a beautiful band of tvldo purple satin rib bon Sorrowfully the throngs turned away, tho people tottake up their positions at tho church, tho representatives to seek tbeli places In the Imposing procession which was to follow tho remains to the cemetery. The two sections of the train bearing the senate and house of representatives and other government officials from Wash ington arrived during the morning. Fear Mr. .McKlnley May t'ulliie.' Mrs. McKlnley's condition Is exciting grave apprehension among those calling for her, and It Is feared that theSlreaded col lapse may como at any moment. Since she has returned to the old home the full real ization of the awful calamity has come upon her, Last evening after the body bad been brought from the courthouse and de posited In the little front room formerly used as the president's library, she pleaded to bo allowed to enter the room und sit beside the casket. Consent was reluctantly granted, and for half nn hour the stricken widow sat in the dim light beside the flower-draped bier. Then she was led away to her room and has not left It since. Through this morning she wept plteously, hour after hour. Owing to her condition she was able to take no part In any of the ceremonies today, neither at the church nor coming Into the chamber of death when the body was borne away for tho last time. From this time on she will be guarded with the most solicitous care and quiet, fur it Is only In this nay that a collapse can be avoided. President Roosevelt spent a quiet morn ing at the Harter residence. He did no go out to the crowded street where thou sands were gathered, hoping to catch a glimpse ot his face, but took a walk in the spacious grounds of the residence. While at' breakfast Judge Day Joined him for half nn hour, nnd later Secretary Root nnd Sec retary Hitchcock camo In to see him. Many unofficial visitors left cards of respect, but the president sow very few people, pre ferring to remain in retirement. Among those who called wero halt a score of his old command of Rough Riders, several In their broad-brimmed sombreros. Tho pres ident saw them only for a moment. Cnket Finally Sealed. Tho face of tho dead president was seen for the last Umo when It lay in state yes terday at tho court house. The casket was not opened after It was removed to the McKlnley residence and tho members of the family had no opportunity to look upon the Bllent features. Tho casket was sealed before it was borne away from the court house. It had been tho hope of many ot tho friends of tho family hero that the face would be exposed while the services in thq church wero being held, but this sug gestlon could not be agreed to. When Mrs. McKlnley camo into the death chamber last night tor her last moments beside her dead husband sho wished to have a final took at tho upturned face. But this was Impossi ble and tho sealed casket with Its flowers nnd flag3 wero all that sho saw. The collection of flowers was probably tho most beautiful ever seen In the United States. Tho conservatories of tho country had been denuded (o BUpply them. By tho direction of tho monarchs ot Europe, the South American rulers, tho governors ot tho British colonics In Australia and Can ada, the emperor ot Japan, from tho four quarters of the earth in fact, came tho di rections to adorn tho bier of McKlnley with, floworn whoso fragrance might bo symbol ical of tho sweetness and puflty of tho ended life. Hut those tributes from foreign countries wero burled beneath tho floral tributes of McKlnley's countrymen. There wero tons and tons of them and a list of those who sent them would bo almost ,a complete roster of thoso prominent In tho official, commercial and social life of the United States. A feature of the floral contributions was tho largo number sent by tho different or ganizations ot various characters, fraternal. commercial and political. Street Jammed wllh People; ' i Toward noon the crowds in tho vicinity of tho McKlnley cottage had Increased to tens ot. thousands. North Mnrkot street was a living, seething mass of humanity for five squares below the house, and for three squares beyond. Several regiments ot sol diers wero required to preserve a sem blance of order. They were posted along tho curbs and within the walks tor half a mllo in cither direction. A platoon of sol diers was thrown across tho gate leading up totho door of tbo McKlnley resldcnco, and only thoso with a written permit from Secretary Cortelyou were permitted to enter tho grounds. The vast throng was con tented, however, to gazo at the curtained windows and at rare Intervals to see some member of the family otma attendant come to the porch outside. ' Within tho chamber of death all was' silent. Tho curtains wero closely drawn, enshrouding the room In gloom, with no ray of gas to light up tbo melan choly inside. The sentries still stood at their post, a soldier at tho head of the casket' and a sailor with drawn cutlass at tho foot. Thus throughout tho morning the vast multitude surged without, while tho silence within was broken only by the weeping of tho stricken widow. Many DItliiKulhed Men In City. The number of public men In the city was augmented as every train arrived, and the city numbered among its mourning guests' thoso who are most prominent in every walk of public life. Among the ar rivals this morning wero Speaker Hender son and a number of his colleagues of tho house of representatives, Including those who had served in the houso 'with McKln-t ley; Justice McKenna ot the United States supremo court, who was a member of the ways and means committee when tho Met, Klnley bill was drawn; Sereno Payne, pres ent chairman of the ways and means com mittee; General Grosvenor ot Ohio, Senator Bate of Tennessee, Governor Longlno of Mississippi, together with delegations repre senting states, cities, chambers of com merce and innumerable civic organizations. Secretary Root received a dispatch from General Leonard Wood, governor' of Cuba, this morning stating that he was laid up by washouts In Georgia and had been com pelled to abandon all hope of reaching hero' in time for the funeral. Meaaaice from Grand Army. During tho morning General E. L. Tor rance, commander-in-chlet of tho Grand Army of the Republic, sent the following message to Mrs. McKlnley by Judge Day: In behalf of the Grand Army of the Re public I wish to comfort you with the as surance that you have the tendensympathy nnd unfailing lovo of every surviving sal dler of the union, and our prayer Is that the gracious Father will sustain you. E. I TORRANCE, Commander-in-Chief Grand Army ot the Republic. Tho tody of the president was taken into the church at 11:45. Decoration of Church, The decorations of the First Methodist Episcopal church, where the funeral serv ices were held, were elaborate and Im pressive, Over 4,000 yardB of drapery were used. Over the front Interior, as tbo fu neral party entered, covering tho organ loft, there was stretched from wall o wall, paneled drapery, black as midnight. It was of nun's veiling, fifty-two feet long and fifteen feet high. The panels were formed ot white satin ribbons two inches wide. Tho choir loft railing was richly hung with nun's veiling, arranged In festoons wlth silk drapery tassels between' the festoons. Tho pulpit rostrum was heavily covered, with black cloth and tbo pulpit Itself was draped with ricn suit crcpev An excellent portrait of the late president was fastened to the front of the pulpit and was grace fully draped.

The last touches were added to the work Ute Ut night, and then I the doors were closed to the public and V guard stationed to prevent any of the eager visitors from entering the edifice until the hour set for tho funoral ceremony. FLOWERS IN EVERY DESIGN Are Used Mori Lavishly Than Ever Before In This Nation' History. " CANTON. 0 Sept. 19. Never before on this continent has such a floral display been shown as that In West Lawn cemetery. The vault was lined with the rarest and costliest flowers, a multitude ot floral pieces was spread on the ground before the door of the vault nnd for 100 feet to thcrlght and left of the doorway and for half as many feet to tho tear of a lino passing through the front wall 'it was Impossible to tread, so thickly did the tributes lay. Nearly every country on both hemispheres was represented by an offering. The num ber of thoso from the United States is almost pust counting. They came from every state In the union and there Is scarcely a man in public life whoso tribute of respect for the virtues of William Mc Klnley did not lie beside his coffined re mains today. Inside the vault was literally a mass of roses and orchids when tho casket was car ried Into It and tho outside walls wero well- nigh hidden beneath the profusion of flowers hung upon them. Above tho doorway hung an enormous wieath of dark green callx leaves, over tho right corner of1 tho vault was a Bimllarj wreath, tho leaves being a deep red, in a corresponding position ,on the other side hung a wreath of Ivy.

Beside the balck streamer floated one of red, white and blue and another of red, white and green, tho colors of Italy. To the right of tho door, In a frame formed of red nnd white roses, was a vase fully six feet high made of white asters. This was the offering of the, manufacturfhg potters of East Liverpool, O. The employes of these manufacturing potters sent an elab- orate design of a vaso done In red and white roses that was fully equal in beauty to thnt sent by their employers. On tho south side of the doorwoy was suspended n beautiful wreath of lilies of the valley, Intertwined with smllax, the whole surmounfed with white and purplo orchids.
