cabinet will of course tesign in a body, and Piesident Roosevelt will have an opportunity of forming a new cabinet, if he so desires. The rage of the people of Buffalo against the President's assassin, when they
learned tonight that he was dying, was boundless.

The Long Battle for Life Came to an End at 2.15 This Morning
Words Were : "Goodbye, All Goodbye. It Is God's
Way. His Will Be Done."
By Exclusive Wire from the
MILBURN HOUSE, BUFFALO, Sept. 14. President ittcKinley died at 2 15 o'clock. He had been unconscious since 7.50 o'clock last evening
His last conscious hour on earth was spent with the wife to whom he devoted a life time of care. He died unattended by a minister of the gospel, but
his last words weie an humble submission to the will of the God in whom he believed. He was reconciled to the cruel fate to which an assassin's
bullet had condemned him and faced death in the same spirit of calmness and poise which has maiked his long and honorable career. His last con
scious words, reduced to writing by Dr. Mann, who stood by his bedside when they were uttered, were as follows: "Good bye. All good bye. ' is
God's way. His will be done."
His 1 datives and the members of his official family were at the Milburn House except Secretary Wilson, who did not avail himself of the oppor
tunity, and some of his personal and political friends took leave of him. This painful ceremony was simple. His friends came to the door of the sick
room, took a longing glance at him and turned tearfully away. He was practically unconscious during this time. But the powerful heart stimulants,
including oxygen, were employed to restore him to consciousness for his final parting with his wife. He asked for her and 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 and fortitude with which she has
borne the grief of the tragedy which ended his life.
