SERVICES AT BUFFALO Simple Formula of Prayer and Song at Milburn Home. Toddling Scenes ait the House—Hody l-ay In State Several Hours at tlie City Hall and Wan Viewed l>y Thousands—Roose velt Took Oath as President—Doctors Announced Cause of Dentli. Buffalo WHS a city of mourners Sunday. Cay and flaming decoration* of the Pan- American exposition gave way to the tvnihol <»f sorrow. The black drapery of the city's streets muffled the tolling hells of the churches. Hits of crape appeared on every sleeve. The sorrow was imte scrilialde. In the morning a single service took place at the residence on Delaware ave nue where the Martyred President died. A hymn was sang and prayer was of fered over the dead body. That was ali. Only (he immediate ffmiily and friends and political associates of the late presi dent were present. The scene there was pathetic in the extreme. Then' the hody was borne out to the waiting cortege on the brawny sholdeiM of eight sailors and soldiers of the republic. The cortege passed through solid walls of living humanity, bareheaded and grief stricken, to the city ball, where tin; ' • <ly lay instate all afternoon. There a re markable rlemonstartion occurred which proved how close the president was to the hearts of the people. Arrangements bad been made to allow the public to view the body from the time it arrived, at about 1:30 o'clock, until about 5 o'clock, but when the body arrived the people were wedged into the streets for blocks as far as the eye could reach. Two lines were formed. They extended literally for miles. W hen 5 o'clock came 10,(MX) people had already passed and the crowds waiting below in the streets seemed undiminished. It was decided to extend the time until midnight. Then for hours longer the streets were deese with people and a constant stream flowed up the stops of the broad entrance into the hall and passed the bier. When the doors were closed at mid night it was estimated that 80,000 people had viewed the remains, but thousands of disappointed ones were still in the streets. AT THE MILBURN HOME. Pathetic Scenes at the Private Funeral Services Mrs. McKlnley'a Forti tude—HnnnVi (irief. Long before the time set for the fu neral services tin- vicinity of the Milburn house was astir with preparations. Ac 0 o clock long platoons of police officers, mounted nnd on foot, arrived on the ground and were posted in strong details .along the streets nproachlng the house. I'or a block in each direction the streets ere roped off to keep back the gather ing crowds, Only those summoned to the service, the uniformed escort of marchers ar.d those whose business im peratively brought them there, pasted within the foul-squared precinct about the house where the body of the dead rhief reposed. Major General John It. Brooke, department commander of the east, who was personally in command of all the forces participating in the escort. Orrived at 10 o'clock. Around, his left arm was wound a heavy band of crepe. With him were his aides and half a score of other officers all in fatigue uniform with the badge of mourning on their sleeves. Meantime the members of the cabinet, officials high in the government service itnd near friends of tiie Martyref| Presi dent. began to fill the walks leading up to the entrance of the Milburn residence. Secretaries Wilson and Hitchcock drove tip together and with bowed heads en tered the house. Governor Odell of New York drove up with his secretary and Representative Lucius Littauer of New Yyrk, and following the governor came Major General Roe, commander of the National (Suard of New York, with his staff of aides, all in full uniform. Secre tary lioot walked to the house. Two by two, a long line of men of dignified bearing marched up to the honsi—the foreign commissioners sent to the exposi tion, and after them the state commis sioners. IlooMevelt Arrive*. It was just eight minutes before the opening of the service when a covered barouche drove up to the house, bring ing President Roosevelt and Mr. and Mrs. WiJcox, at whose home 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, but he ac knowledged the greetings silently and With an inclination of the head. Those yaiting to gain entrance fell back, mak ing a narrSw lane through which Mr. Roosevelt passed along to the house. Within the house of death was woe unspeakable. In the drawing room to the right of the hall the dead chieftain was stretched upon his bier. On the no ble face upturned to the Creator was (vritten the story of the Christian for bearance with which he had inet his Aiartyrdom. A calm and peaceful res ignation not of earth wan on the marble features. Death lind emphasized the nobility of his countenance. 6nly the thinness of his face bore mute testimony to the patient suffering he had endured. He was dressed as he always did in life. The black frock coat was buttoned across the breast, where the first bullet of the infamous assassin had struck. The right hand lay at his side. The left was across his body. He looked as millions of his countrymen have seen him. The body lay in a black casket 011 a black bearskin rug. Over the lower limbs was Hung the starry banner he had loved so well. The flowers were few, as befitted the simple nature of the man. Mm, McKlnl*y Alone With Body. The family had taken leave of their loved one before the others arrived. Mrs. McKinle.v, the poor, grief-crushed widow, had been led late into the chamber by her physcian, Dr. ltixey, and lmd sat a while alone with liini who had supported and comforted her through all thpse sweet years of wedded life. But, though her support was gone, she had not broken down. Dry-eyed she had gazed upon him and fondled his face. She did not seem to realize thai he was dead. Then she had been led away by Dr. Rjxey and had taken up her position at the head of the stairs where she could hear the service. Senator Hanna, fairly wor shipped hi* dead friend for years, en tered the room at this time, but did not approach the casket. His face was set like tin iron-willed man who would not let down the barriers of his grief. The senator spoke to no one. His eyes were vacant, lie passed through the thrAng and seated himself behind Governor Odell, sinking far down into his chair and resting his head upon his hand. Dur ing all the service that followed he did not stir. ltoosevelt Gazes I.ontf on Dead F»«e. When President ltoosevelt reached tli" heo«' of the line of the cabinet officer* he kept his face away from the casket. He appeared to lie steeling himself for a look into the face of him whose death jud made him the first ruler of i world. Perhaps it might have been 'i;l seconds. It seemed longer. Then tit-- president turned and at the same time advanced a step. He bowed his head and looked down into the prison house of the man whose burden and responsibility he hud taken up. Long he gazed, standing in mova ble, save for a twitching of the nwycles of t''. l chin as he labored with heavy bre. ,h to repress his emotion. At last In stepped back. Itev. Charles Edward Locke was at the door leading into the hall, a station whence bis words could be heard at the head of the stairs. The signal was given and there welled out from the hall the beautiful words of "Liad. Kindly Light." sung b.v a qur'tette. It was {'resident McKinley's favorite hynr Everyone within sound of the music (flew it and as the voices swelled through the house grief-numbed hearts began to break. Half of those in the room put thei.' faces in their hands to hide their scalding tears. President ltoosevelt seemed to be sway ing to and fro us if his footing was inse cure. The minister read a chapter from the gospel to the Corinthians and the quar tet broke into the strains of the hymn, "Nearer, My God, to Thee." The effect was-pathctic, solemn and inspiring. Then followed a most eloquent prayer by the Itev. Mr. Locke. All present joined in the Lord's prayer as the minis ter repeated it. President Roosevelt's voice being audible at the back of the room. The service concluded with a sim ple benediction. Hanna's Grief Unrestrained. Those in the room stepped back. The funeral director was about to step for ward to place the cover on the casket when suddenly there was a movement be hind Governor Odell. Senator Ilanna. 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 an instant he was at the side of the casket bending 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 coffin. There were no sobs. His grief was deeper than that. He simply looked and looked and drank in the features of the dead. It was pathetic in the extreme. Then he turned away. The coffin was closed. Colonel Bingham signalled the body bearers. Pour jack "tars of the navy, two infantry cergeants and two artillery sergeants bore the casket aln ft and out of the house. The president, cabinet and the others followed it. Mrs. McKinDy nnd the members of the family remained. The widow had passed 'through the or deal bravely and without breaking down. Three long rolls of a muffled drum told those outside the house that the funeral cortege tvas about to appear. From the darkened rooms the sorrowing assem blage began to file out to the street. Whon the dark outlines of the casket itself appeared "Nearer, My God, to Thee' ascended in sufmued strains from one of the military band. It was n strangely r.iaiestic spectacle. ¥h<* solemn music of Chopin's funeral dirge succeeded the sweet strains of the hymn. The soldiers ami "sailors swung into long columns nnd took up the march southward toward the city hall. Description of the Casket. The casket for the president's body was ordered by Senator Hannn.

Theodore Roosevelt, twenty-sixth pres ident of the United States was sworn into office Saturday at the residence of Ansley Wilcox, on Delaware avenue, only a few squares away from the house in which the stricken head of a nation lay dead. The cabinet members hail decided that the oath be administered at once and Mr. Roosevelt acquiesced to their wishes. Judge John It. Hazel of the United States district court administered tiie oath. The place selected was the library in the Wilcox home, a rather small room but picturesque, the evenness of the four walls being broken only by a bay win dow, with st.lined glass and heavy hang ings. In this alcove the president took his position. ll"was surrounded by the iive mem bers of his cabinet. Secretaries Root, Hitchcock, Long, Wilon and Postmaster General Smith.

Mr. Roosevelt, com ing closer to Secretar.v Kootv replied in a voice that at first wavered, but finally ca" '.•'-op n»»«1 strong, while, as if to con trol tiis nervousness, he held firmly the lapel of his coast with his right hand. "I shall take the oath at once in ac cordance with your request and in this hour of deep and terrible national he reavcnu'i t I wish to state that it shall he my aim to continue absolutely unb—j ken the policy of President McKinley for the peace and prosperity and honor of our beloved count " , Judge ITazel thtu took up the consti tutional oath of office, which had been prepared 011 parchment, asked the pres ident to raise his right hand and repent it after iiim. There was a lnisli like death in the room as the judge read a few words at 11 time and the president in a strong voice and without a tremor and wit', his raised hand as steady as if carved from marble, repeated it after him. "And thus 1 iwear," he ended it. The hand dropp . by the side, the chin for an instant rested 011 the breast and the silence remained unbroken for a cou ple of minutes as though the new presi dent of the United States was offering silent prayer. Judge Hazel broke in. saying, "Mr. Pres-Kert. please attach your signature," and 'lie pn.i lent turning to a small ta ble nearly wrote "Theodoreßoosevelt"nt the ! itto::: of the document in a firm hail' 1 . Imiiiod'ately following the disposing of the spectators of the taking of the oath the presi lent asked the cabinet members present to confer with him. The confer ence lasted very nearly two hours and when it had finished the president said: "Following out the brief statement I made when taking the oath that I would follow the administrative lines laid down by President McKinley I requested the members of the cabinet who are present to remain in their positions, nt least for the present. They have assured me that they will and I may say that I have as surances also from the absent members." Inquiry was made of (he president as to whether an extra session of congress would be called by Jiim and he said in substance that there was no fundamental law requiring the calling of congress to gether upon tin- succession of a vice pres ident to the presidency, and that after consultation with the cabinet they had decided that no such extra session would be called.

Gangrene, which affected the stomach, caused the death of the president. The announcement was made officially by the surgeons who attended liiui, reinforced by Dr. Janeway, Dr. Johnson, Dr. Ken dall, Dr. Cary, Dr. Munson, Dr. Baer and Drs. Gaylord and Mctzinger. An autopsy was performed at the Milburn home Saturday, several hours after the death of the president. The bullet penetrated the stomach was not found. For two hours the surgeons who per formed the autopsy sought for it. Its course was traced until it entered the muscles of the back, where a search of V/j hours fuiled to find it. The X-ray apparatus was not conveniently at hand to aid the search, so the autopsy was concluded without the finding of the bul let. The report of the autopsy upon the president's body was issued in the form of an official bulletin, similar to those issued during his illness. Here is the re port: "The bullet which struck over the breastbone did not pass through/the Blrin and did little harm. "The other bullet passed through both walls of the abdomen. Both holes were found to be perfectly closed by the stitches,_ but the tissue aroufid each hole had become gangrenous. After passing through the stomach the bullet passed into the lis*' U walls of the abdomen, hit ting and tearing the upper end of the kidney. Ibis portion of the bullet truck was also gangrenous, the gangrene in volving the pancreas. "The bullet has not yet been found. There were 110 signs of peritonitis or disease of other organs. The heart walls were very thin. There was no evidence- of an attempt at repair on the part of nature and death resulted from the gan grene. V. :.,c!i effected the stomach around the lmll • wounds, as well-as the tissues ■round the further course of the bullet. I'< nih v.:'s 111 a voidable by any surgi cal or medical treatment and was the di rect result of the bullet wound." The dellh certificate, issued later by Coromr Wilson, states the cause of .death as given in the official report of tin? autopsy. It says nothing, of a pii soued 1 nllct or anything except the eaute slated bv the surgeons. HIS PEACEFUL DEATH. President's I.ast Words Were "God's Wilt, Not Ours, Be Done," Lust COUHCIOUI Moments Spent Willi Wife. President McKinley died at 2:15 Sat urday.* He had been unconscious since 7:. r »ti p. in. Ilis last conscious hour on earth was spent with the wife to whom he devoted' u lifetime of 1 are. He died unattended by a minister of flu- gospel but liis Inst words were an humble submission to the will of God in whom he believed. lie was reconciled to the cruel fiile to which an s bullet had condemned him and faced death in the same spirit of calmness and poise which has marked his long and honorable career. His last conscious words, reduced to writing by l»r. Mann, who stood at his bedside when they were uttered, were ns follows: "Good bye, all. Good bye. It is (iod's way. His will be done." His relatives and tie members of his official family who were at the house, except St < n fary Wilson who did not avail himself of the opportunity, a/' some of ;• -rsonal and political friet took k .v. i:i hi;n. Ihe jiiii::! 1 ceremony was simple. His friends cn:m ;<» the door of the sickroom, took 1, longing glance at him and turned tearfully jr.va.v. lie was practically un conscious daring this time. Hut the powerful heart stimulants, in cluding oxygen, were employed to restore him to consciousness for his final parting with his wife. He asked for her, she sat at his side and held his hand. He consoled her and bade her good bye. She went through the heart-trying scene with the same bravery aud fortitude with which she has borne the grfcf of the tragedy which ended his life. Before 0 o'clock it was clear to those nt the president's bedside that he was dying and preparation were made for the last sad offices of farewell from those who were nearest and dearest to him. Oxygen had been administered steadily but with little effect in keeping back the approach of death. The president came out of one period of unconsciousness only to relapse into another Hnt in this per' when his mi ml wn« partially clear occurred a geries of events of profoundly touching character down stairs. With tcoi'-stalued faces, mem bers of the cabinet were gfrouped in anx ious waiting. They knew Jhe end was near and that the tinxe had come whoa they must see him for the last time on earth. This was about »i o'clock. It was an awful moment foi< them. One by < ne they ascended th • stairway- Secretary lfoot, Secretary Hitchcock and Attorney-General Knox. Secretary Wil son also was there but he held back, not wishing to see the president in his last agony. There was only a momentary stay of the cabinet officers at the thresh old of the death chamber. ""hen they withdrew, the tears streaming u wn th.-ir faces and the words of intense grief choking in their throats. After they left the sick room the phy sicians rallied him to consciousness and the president asked almost immediately that his wife be brought to him. The doctors fell back into the shadows of Uie room as Mrs. McKinley came through tne doorway. The strong face of the dying man lighted tip with a f,aint smile as their hands were clasped. She sat "beside him anil held his hand. Despite her physical weakness she bore up bravely under the ordeal. The president in his last period of con sciousness. which ended nbout 7:40 o'clock chanted the words of the beauti ful hymn. "Nearer, My God, to Thee." and his last audible conscious words as taken down by Dr. Mann at the bedside were: "Good bye all. Good bye. It is God's way. His will be done." GOLDMAN INDIFFERENT.

CHICAGO, Sept. 14.—When shown the press despatch announcing the death Of the [iresident, Emma fiolduian, the an archist now being held at the Harrison street station, carefully adjusted her glasses, read the bulletin and after a moment's pause, without a change of expression said: "Very sorry."
