Sipl. 17.-The re mains uf President Mi Kinlcy now liu hi the Kast riMini of the White House, where for more than four years lie hud linule his home lis the chief nuiKistnite of the great American republic. I'p Miiirs Ilia widow mourns for her dead in the family upiiitmeiits that now bring back hut the saddest memories. It was with simple ceremony and amid a silence that fitted perfectly the sad ness of the occasion that the body of the lnte proideut was borne up Pennsyl vania avenue to the White House and laid upon the bier ill the great Kast room where he had stood so often in the pride of his manhood to receive the greetings of the common people he Imcil better than himself. It was lilting that such ceremony as this should Is- severely military iu char acter, In recognition of the fact that the president was commander-in-chief of the 1'nited States army and navy. Nowhere was there n show of civilian participa tion. The streets about the station were tilled with ununited troops mid the sta tion itself was occupied by stalwart sol diers mid sailors In uniform. The blue coated policemen nml the railroad em ployes were nearly all that stood for civil life. It was not so on the broad streteh of avenue that led to the White House. There the people strained ami crowded in a vast multitude against the ropes which strained them from the space marked out for the line of procession. The afternoon wus cloudy and with the close of the day Is'gaii the dull de pressing boom of a large gun at inter vals of live minutes. It was the signal which gave notice of the approach of the funeral train. At the Pennsylvania railroad station men in bright uniforms gathered, a mix ture of soldiers and sailors. From the iu-luadicr general ami naval captain down to the humblest lieutenant and ensign, every otllccr on duty In- the cap ital was there save a few of high rank who composed the guard of honor and waited at the While House. Presently in dead silence two troops of cavalry from Fort Meyer swung from Pennsyl vania, avenue into Sixth street. Then came Secretaries Hay and tlatrc and Acting Swrelary Sanger and Commis sioner Mi Fa Hand and a few subordi nates privileged to enter the space within the station. Train a Few Minutes Late. The train was a little late. It was due at 8 25, but the clock stisid at 8:.'1S when the headlight of the big locomotive flushed along the rails and the cars swept quietly to a stop at the gates. The way was cleared and down the pathway strode a body of sturdy soldiers ami sail ors chosin as the body bearers and guard. They were met at the entrance of the observation car where the remains lay. The sailor with drawn cutlass and the soldier Willi lixed bayonet who stood grimly like men of stone nt the head nod foot of the casket gave way grudg ingly to these men. as though reluctant to nbiniilon their sad duty. Meanwhile further down the station the party on the funeral train were nlithliiic. Mrs. MeKinlcy was ni.le.l by Aimer MeKinlcy and Ir. Rixcy. nml was speedily plans! ill a carriage which drove off at once to the White House without nwaitint; the procession. Close behind came the lunula rs of the family of the late president, who likewise were dricn immediately to the executive man sion. Mrs. MiKinlcy was deeply veiled. She appeared to bear up with fortitude, but leaniil heavily on the nrnis of her supporters. The president walked firm ly erect, lookim; to neither side, his face set and sorrowful. Close ls'liind him pressed the members of the cabinet headed by Secretary Hay and Secretary Unite, escorted by General Gillespie and a coiilimrent of the ranking nnny and nova! otlieers iu waiting. Senators Ilan 'aa and Fairbanks followed. The former walked without a sign of weakness and as tlimuli he had nerved himself to the occasion. raket IlpmoTeil Thioncli Window. Meanwhile the casket wus being re moved from the observation car. One of the larife windows was lowered nt the Mile and s!owly nml carefully the cosket wus slipped out through the opening and tenderly received upon the bent shoul ders of the body-bearers. As the casket eim rged a bugle note rose clearly and "tops" rang out. That was the only sound that broke the dead silence. Just beyond the entrance to the station President Roosevelt w ith the members of the cabinet had passed and had taken station so as to leave a broad space for the funeral corteite. They ranged them selves en the sidewalk in double row opposite er.cli other and stood with bared heads as the corpse was carried to the hearse drawn lip at the side of the gate. The hi arse wu nil exquisitely carved affair ami was drawn by six black horses, each of which wns led by a colored (tropin in black livery. Tlii- l.carse bearing the Ixsly of the third martyred president quickly moved a way unit v. a followed at once by Pres ident Roosevelt and those accompanying him. The miliar:' already were in line. As the procession swept from Sixth street station into Pennsylvania avenue a deep ly impressive sight was presented. The historc thorriiKhfare wns hung In black. Kuibhms of the nation's mourning were ilbplnred on either building. The stars and stripes, furled and knotted with crene limited from hundreds of win dows. Over all gleamed coldly scores of electric lights, defining sharply each de tail of tile solemn scene. . Ther. wns no music. Amid the hush of Hie grenl crowds only the clatter of the horses' hoofs ringing sharply upon the puvciucnl was heard. A platoon of mounted police iu com miind of Sergeant Matthews led the way. Next came a delegation of G. A. It. tneii f .urn the department of the Potomac, niciiiliers of the L'uiou Veteran, union, tml the Kppnish war veterans and Troopa I and I, of the Kleveuth cavalry from Fort Myer. V.

The carriage containing Mrs. Me Kin ley. ir. Itixey nml Aimer McKinlc; had preceded the fitm-rnl cortege to the W hile House by some little time. Ir Rixey and Mr. MeKinlcy then tenilerlj iissisteil Mrs. MeKinlcy to the steps. With her riirht arm resting heavily ami wearily upon the shoulder of her dead hiisband'a brother, and supported on tie other side by Hr. Kixey, she walked slowly along the stuue Hugging into tin house. She wns closely veiled, hut hei feeble state tol l the story of her grcul suffering. She was assisted at once tc t lie elevator nuil to her old room nml soon retired. Ir. Rixcy and Mr. Cor telyou later said that she had stood the journey very well iu deed.

Among (host who knew her best f were with her at IliiOalo. it is doubted whether she has fully realized the calam ity that has befallen her and it is with some apprehension that they look for ward to the tirst days iiloue in Canton. 'The Major." as she always lovingly called her husband, 1b still with her. Iu when she limls li.is .1 milly alone the nwakeulnsf may try her strength even beyond the point yet reached. The re sult cannot be foretold. When the corti L-e arrived nt the White House the body bearers took the colli n upon their broad shoulders and passiuir up the three or four steps waited until President Roosevelt nml the mem bers of the c-ibinet had nticlited from their carriages and then followed then through the wide open doors into the oust room. Just in the center of the room, under the great crystal chandelier they depos ited their precious burden upon a blink druped base and stood nt salute, while the new executive nuil cubinet members Willi bowed heads passed by. Following them came the chief otlieers of the army mid navy now in the city, the guard of honor, consisting of otllccr of the I.oynt I-glon. members of the t'nlon Veterans' union nml the Grand Army nf the Republic. President Roosevelt, nccompanied by members of the cabinet, left the house nhnnst immediately and were driven to their homes. The casket had Ims-ii placed lengthwise of the east room, the head to the north. Filed about it were a half hundred floral emblems of exceptional beauty mid as ninny more were placed in the inside cor ridor. Two marines, a soldier mid a sailor, stood guard, one nt each corner of the casket, while seated on cither side were t'vo members of the Grand Army and two nieiiils-i's of the Loyal I.egiou. Refore miiluiirht the household had re tired and the only liuhts to be seen were those In the room where his comrailes kept watch over their dead chief. THROUGH LANEJDF SORROW Thousands l.liinl Tracks Along Itoute ol Train IIcki-Iiic- MrKltiley's Itmly to WnidiliiKton. WASHINGTON. Sept. 17. Through a living lane of bareheaded people, stretching from Riiffalo up over the Alle gheny's, down on to the broad valley of the Susquehanna, and on to the marble city on the banks of the shilling Poto mac, the tuition's martyred President yesterday made his Inst journey to the sent of the government over which he presided for four nml one-half years. The whole country seemed to have drained its population at the sides of the track over which the funeral train passed. The thin line through the mountains and the sparsely settled dis tricts thickened at the little hamlets, cov ered acres iu towns suddenly grown to the proportions of respectable cities ami were congested into vast multitudes in the larger cities. Work wns suspended ill field and mine nml city. The schools were dismissed. And everywhere appeared the trap pings nnd tokens of woe. A million rlag'i nt linlf-niust dotted hillsides and vnlley ami formed a thicket of color over the cities. And from almost every ban ner streamed n bit of crepe. The sta tions were heavy with tle black symbols of mourning. At all the larger towns and cities after the train got into Penn sylvania militiamen drawn up at "pre sent arms" kept back the enormous crowds. The silence with which the counties thousands viewed the remains of their hero and martyr was oppressive and pro found. Only the mini. ling of the train wheels, the sobs from men anil women with tear-stained faces and the doleful tolling of the church nml other bells bloke on the ear. At several places, Williniuspnrt, Ilarrisburg and Baltimore, the chimes played Cardinal Newman' grand hymn. I'nlversat Personal Sorrow. Taken altogether tbe journey home wns the most remarkable demonstration Oi universal persona! sorrow since Lin coln was borne to his grave. Kveryone of those who come to pay their last trili ute to the dead had an opportunity to catch a glimpse of the Hag covered bier elevated to view ill the observation car nt the rcjir of the train. There wus no other bit of color to catch the eye on this train of death. The locomotive was shrouded in black, the curtains of the cars in which set the lonely, stricken widow, relatives of the President, cabinet ami others were drawn. The whole black train was like a shuttered house save only for that hind most car, where the body lay guarded by a soldier of the iniiiy ami n sailor of the linvy. . Mrs. MeKinlcy stisid the trip brave1 1. In the morning soon after leaving Buf falo she pleaded so earnestly to be al lowed to go into the car where her dear one lay that reluctant usscut was given and she spent half an hour beside the cotHu. All the wuy the train was preceded about l.'i minutes by n pilot engine scut ullead to test the bridges ami switches ami prevent the possibility of accident to the precious burden il carried. Tho train had the right of way over every thing. Not a wheel moved on the Penn sylvania system !M' minutes before the pilot engine was due or for the same length of time after the train passed. General Superintendent J. it. Hutchin son had sent out explicit instructions cov ering every detail. The order nuieludei' "Kvcry precaution must be taken by nil employes ; make the movement abso lutely Kiife." SERV.CES AT BUFFALO Simple Formula of P -yer and Song at Miiburn Hume. Touching Scpnes at the House -Hotly Lt) In Stale Several Honrs at thetlly II A A soil Was Viewed liy ThoiianU--KoiNf. Telt Took Oalli as Preslileut loctor Aliliounreil C'siiMe of Death. Buffalo was a city of mourners Sunday. Gay and tlaming dccoratioim of the Pan American exposition gave wuy to the symbol of soriow. The bluck drapery of the city's streets municd the tolling bells of the churches. Hits of crape appeared on every sleeve. The sorrow wns inde scribable. In the morning a single service took place at the resilience on lh-hiware ave nue where the Martyred President died. A hymn wus snug and prayer was of fered over the dead body. That was all. Only the inimeiliate family anil friends and political associates of the late presi dent were present. The scene there was pathetic in the extreme. Then the body wns borne out to the waiting cortege on the hrauny shoidcrs of eight sailors l ml soldiers of the republic. The cortege passed through solid walls of living Immunity, bareheaded ami gricf stricken, to the city hall, where the body lay In state all iiftcnmou. There a re markable ileuioustarlion occurred which proved how close the president was to the hearts of the people. Arrangements hud been made to allow the public t-i view the body from the time it arrived, at about 1 :.''! o'clock, until about G i'loek, but when the body arrived the people were wedged into the streets for blocks ns far as the eye could reach. Two lines were formed. They extended literally for miles. When 5 o'clock i-nine -lO.fMiO people had nlrendy passed nml flic crowds waiting below in the streets seemed undiminished. It was decided to extend the time until midnight. Then for hours longer the streets wen dense with people ami a constant stream flowed up the steps of the broad entrance ii.to the hall and passed the bier. When the doors were closed nt mid night it was estimnteil that .xii.ihki people hod viewisl the remains, but tlioiisnnils of disappointed ones were still in the streets. AT THE MILBURN HOME. Pathetic. Hemes at the Prlvnte Funeral Services Mrs. McKInley's Forti tude llnunn's tirlrf. Long iH'fore the time act for the fu neral services the vicinity of the Miiburn house was asti" witii preparations. At 0 o'clock long platoons of police othVers mounted nml on foot, arrived on the ground and were posted iu strong details along the streets uproot-hiug the house. For n block iu eucli direction the streets were roped off to keep back the gather ing crowds. Only those summoned to the service, the uniformed escort of marchers oi.d those whose business im peratively brought thetn there, passed within the four-squared preolm-t nbout '.he house where the lmdy of the ilend chief reposed. Major General John R. Brooke, department commander of the east, who was personally iu command of nil the forces participating in the escort, arrived at 1" o'clock. Around his left arm was wound n heavy baud of crepe. With him were his aides and half a score of other ollleers all in fatigue uniform with the badge of mourning on their sleeves. Meantime the members of the cabinet, olPcinls high in tl.c government service finl near friends of the Martyred Presi dent, began to till 'lie walks leading up to the entrance of the Miiburn residence. Secretaries Wilson ami Hitchcock drove up together liu. I with bowed heads en tered the house. Governor Odell of New Vork drove up with his secretary nml Representative Lucius I.ittauer of New York, and following the governor come Major General Roe. coinmoiiiler of the National Gunrd of New Vork, with his staff of aides, all in full uniform. Secre tary Root walked to the house. Two by two, n long line of men of dignified bearing marched up to the Iiousl the foreign commissioners sent to the exposi tion, and lifter them the slate commis sioners. Roosevelt Arrives. It was just eight minutes before the opening of t lie service when a Covered barouche drove up to the house, bring ing President Roosevelt nnd Mr. and Mrs. Wilcox, at whose I e he is a guest. The president looked very grave as he alighted and turned to assist Mrs. Wilcox from the carriage. His face did not relax into a smile to the salutations of those nearest the carriage, lint lie ac knowledged the greetings silently and with liu inclination of the head. Those waiting to gain entrance fell back, mak ing a narrow lone through which Mr. Roosevelt passed along to the house. Within the house of death wns wim unspeakable. In the drawing risim to the right of the hall the dead chieftain Was stretched upon his hier. On the no ble fnce upturned to the Creator wns written the story of the Christian for bearance with which lie hud met his martyrdom. A calm and peaceful res ignation not of earth was on the marble features. Heat!) had emphasized the nobility of his countenance. Only the thinness of his face bore mute testimony to the patient suffering he hod endured. He was dressed ns he nlwnys did in life. Tile black frock coat wns buttoned across the breast, where the first bullet nf the infamous assassin had struck. The right hand lay nt his side. The left was across his lesly. lit looked ns millions of his count ryineii have seen him. The body lay in a black casket on a black bearskin rug. Over the lower limbs was flung the starry banner he hud loved so well. The flowers were few, as befitted the simple nature of the man. Mrs. McKluley Atone With Ilort. The family hud taken leave of their lovetl one before the others arrived. Mrs. MeKinlcy, the poor, grief-crushed widow, had been led lnte into the chamber by her pbysi ian, Hr. Rixcy. and had sat a while ul - witii him who had supported nuil comforted her through all those sweet yenrs of wedded life. But, though her support was gone, she had uot broken down. Dry-evetl she had gazed upon him and fondled his fate. She did not seem tn realize that he w.i dead. Then she had Ihcii led awny by I r. Rixcy nod had tnleii up her position at the head of the stuira where she could hear the ij;vk;e Senator lliirnu. who had fairly wor shipped his dead friend for years, en tered the rts'iii at this time, but did not approach the casket. His face was set like an iron-willed luuii who would not let down the barriers of his grief. The senator spoke to no one. His eyes were Tncnnt. He passed through the throng and seated himself behind Governor Odell. sinking fur down into his chair nnd resting his head upon bis hand. Utir Ing all the service that followed he did tint stir. Koosevelt Oaxes Long on Dead Fsee. When President Roosevelt reached th hei' of the Hue of the cabinet n Ulcer he kept his face away from the casket. He appeared to be steeling himself for look into the fai-e of him whose death jnd made him the first ruler of ti World. Perhaps it might have been tf) seconds. It seemed longer. Theu the president turned ami at the same time advanced a step. He bowed his head ami looked down into the prison house of the muu whose burden and responsibility he bad taken up. Long he gazed, standing immova ble save for a twitching of the muscles of the chin as he labored with heavy breath to repress his emotion. At lust he stepiied buck. Rev. Charles F.dwonl Locke wns nt the door lending into the hall, a statiou whence his words could be heard at the head of the Hlairs. The signal was given ami there welled out from the hall the beautiful words of "land. Kindly Light." sung by a quartette. It was President McKinley's favorite hymn. Everyone within sou ml of the music knew it and ns the voices swelled through the house grief-iiumbed hearts Is.gan to break. Half of those in the room put their faces in their hands to hide their scalding tears. President Roosevelt seemed to be sway ing to ami fro as if his footing was inse cure. The minister read a chapter from the gospel to the Corinthians and the quar tet broke into the stiains of the hymn, "Nearer, My God. to Thee." The effect wns pathetic, solemn and inspiring. Then followed a most eloquent prayer by the Rev. Mr. Locke. All present joined ill the Lord's prayer as the minis ter repeated it, President Roosevelt's voice being audible at the back of the room. The service col. eluded with a sim ple benediction. Ilnuna's Grief Pnrestrnlneil. Those ill the room stepped back. The funeral director was about to step for ward to place the cover on the casket when suddenly there w as a movement be hind Governor Odell. Senator Hannii. who had risen, saw that the last oppor tunity to look Into the countenance of his dead friend had come. He could re strain himself no longer. Pressing for ward in nil instant he wns nt the side of the casket liending over and looking down Into It with all his eyes, n minute, almost two minutes passed while he gazed steadily into the window of the collin. There were no sobs. " His grief was deeper than that. He simply looked nnd looked and drank in the features of the dead. It was pathetic in the extreme. Then he turned away. The cnlllu was closed. Colonel Bingham signalled the body bearers. Four jack tars of the navy, two infantry cergenntn and two artillery sergeants bore the casket aloft nnd out of the house. The president, cabinet and the others followed it. Mrs. MeKinlcy nnd tile members of the family remained. The widow had passed through the or deal bravely nnd without breaking down. Three long rolls of a muffled drum told those outside the house that the funeral cortege was alsint to appear. From the darkened rooms the sorrowing assem blage began to tile out to the str.-et. When the dark outlines of the casket Itself appeared "Nearer. My God. to Thee' ascended In subdued strains from one of the military hand. It was a strangely majestic spiftncle. The solemn music of Chopin's funeral dirge succeeded the sweet strains of the hymn. The soldiers ami sailors swung Into long columns and took up the inarch southward toward the city hall.

Ostk Administered hjr Judge Hacel Will Continue Policies InaiiKtiratetl by Ills Predecessor. Theodore Roosevelt, twenty-sixth pres ident of the 1'niteil States was sworn into olllce Saturday at the resilience of Ausley Wilcox, on lielaware avenue, only a few stpiares .away from the house in which the stricken head of n nation lay dead. The cabinet member hail decided that the oath be administered at once and Mr. Roosevelt acquiesced to their wishes. Judge John R. Hazel of the United States district court administered the oath. The place selected was the library iu the Wilc.r!r home, a rather small room but picturesque, the evenness of the four walls being broken i.uly by a hay win dow, with stained glass nnd heavy bung ing. In this alcove the president took his position. He was surrounded by the five mem bets of his cabinet, Secretaries Root, Hitchcock. Long, Witon and Postmaster General Smith. Nearby were Senulor Hepcw, Judge Haiglit. John N. Scnteh crd. George P. Sawyer, lrs. Mann, Park and Stockton, John G. Miiburn, William I.ts'b. GiHirge B. Cortelyoii. Dr. Charles t i'rrey and Judge Hazel. Other officials nu I prominent citizens of Buffalo were prtscnt and a few women, wive of the huffaloiiians present. At precisely 'AMI o'clock Secretary Root stepped forward and aunounced that the cabinet of the late President, at least those who nre present in Buffalo, all except two, for reasons of weight af fecting the affairs of the government, desired that Mr. Roosevelt proceed totake the constitutional otliee of president of the Cnitod States. Mr. Roosevelt, com ing closer to Secretary Root, replied in a voice that at first wavered, but finally came deep and strong, while, as if to con trol his nervousness, he held firmly the Inpel of his coast with his right baud. "I shall take the oath at once In ac cordance with your request and in this hour of deep and terrible national be reavement I wish to state that it shall be lily aim to continue absolutely unbro ken the policy of President MeKinley for the pence and prosperity aud honor of our beloved country."

Judge Hazel broke in. saying. "Mr. President, please attach your signature," and the president turning to n small ta ble nearby wrote "Theodore Roosevelt" at the bottom of the document in a firm hand. Immediately following the disposing of the spectators of the taking of the oath the president asked the cabinet members piesent to confer with him. The coiifea ence lasted very nearly two hours and when it had finished the president said: "Following out the brief statement I made when taking the noth that I would follow the administrative lines laid down by President MeKinlcy I requested the meuihers of the cabinet who nre present to renin in iu tlu-ir positions, nt least for the present. They hnve assured me that they will and I may sny that I hove as surances also from the nbscnt members."
