borne ftoni this city in state tins morn
ing mi. I taken on Its last Journiy to
tin- national tapltnl. Just eleven days
ago Mr. McKlnley came to the Pan
American exiiosltlon In full health and
vigor. He was received with an en
thusiasm that was unprecedented In
the annals of the city, and for twenty
four hours enjoyed himself thoroughly.
Buffalo was astir parly this morning.
At the Mllbiirn residence, where Mrs.
McKlnley was. the servants were at
work early. More activity was seen
about the house than had been noticed
since the shooting.
At 7.H.". o'clock the mourners came
out and walked toward the cm tinges.
.Mrs. William McKlnley wore a costume
of deep black. On one side of her was
Aimer McKlnley and on the other Dr.
Blxey leady to support her If neces
sary. To lh' astonishment of all she
walked llrmly with head erect. Her
widow's veil was drawn so that her
fa. e could not be seen. In the carriage
with her were her favorite niece. Miss
Barber; Abtier McKlnley and Dr.
Illxey. They were driven at once to
the station. So far as could be seen
she sat erect In the carriage without
support.
The family of Aimer McKlnley. other
relatives of the dead president, and
Secietary Coiielyou followed In other
carriages.
President Itoosevelt went to the train
In an unostentatious manner. .lust
after S o'clock he got Into a carriage
with Mr. Wilcox and his secretary. Wil
liam l.ocb, and dinve to the station. A
lew mounted iiolice followed the car
riage and three or four detectives and
seciet service men were near him.
Otherwise there was nothing to dis
tinguish the new president from any
oilier citizen.
At daybreak city hall was unlet and
peaceful.
A few minutes after T o'clock there
i ame signs of life, from within the cor
ridor, whete, under the canopy of state,
the body of the late president lay. The
doors wore opened, the gates slowly
swung ajar. As that was done forty
sailors from the I'nlted States steam
ship Michigan marched up Franklin
street. They formed the first detach
ment of thp escort, l-'our minutes later
the hearse was drawn up. A company
of marines llled Into petition.
Cabinet Ofllcers Present,
Five of the cabinet ofllcers arrived
in two carriages. The fltst carried
Secretary Long and Postmaster-Gen-eral
Smith. The other held Attorney
(eneral Knox, Secretary Wilson and
Secretary Wilson and Secretary Hitch

B Hawiey of Connecticut was next
to anlve.
Kxuetly at the apoplnted hour, 7.1.')
o'clock, everything was ready for the
start. Major Mann, commanding the
escort, delivered the order. "Present
arms:" Then tinning about he faced
the house of tho dead and brought his
sword to salute.
It was an Impressive moment: the
rigid soldiers and sailors wcie awaiting
the body of their late coinmunilor-In-chief.
A minute of awe-inspiring si
lence, and then, through the doors of
the city hall was horn the cotlln car
ried by four soldiers and four sailors.
The Slxty-tlfth regimental band play
ed in subdued measures the hymn,
"Neater, My (loci, to Thee." Behind
the long ropes the throngs as one
mini uncoveicd. Tenderly the Mag
diiiped coffin was carried slowly down
the stone step, along the curved ap
proach, to the hearse, in which it
was1 placed gently. The doors wei"
then dosed. Through the windows of
the hearse nothing but the I'nlted
Stales Hag, sin mounted by a single
sheaf of wheat, could be; seen. To t lit
fiont came the troops, wheeling into
line, and moving down Franklin street,
once moie tlie strains of music. Tills
time It was the mournful dirge" o'f the
dead. Chopin's Funeral March, accom
paiiicd by the tolling at tlie chunh
bells.
Behind the Hoops came the carriages
of the ottlcers of the cabinet. Then
came the he.use. and following were thu
conn ados of tlie Grand Army. A com
pany of local militia binught up tho
i ear. Lining the loute were masses of
bareheaded pet sous.
Genera! Brooke and his staff fell III
directly behind the cotlln, then tunic
the president. Secretary Cortelyou and
Senator Hawiey and, walking with his
cane for assistance, Senator llaniia,
nccompiiiiled by his son.
Mrs. McKlnley Almost Collapsed,
Mrs. McKlnley and the other mem
bers of the family hail b,en in the sta
tion and In their car for half nn hour
when the body arrived. The emblems
of mourning In the streets ftoni the
Mllburu house to the railroad station
alfected the widow greatly. When she
stepped from the cairlage, assisted by
Dr. lux..'.. ' ml Aimer McKlnley, her
limbs fall iier and she would have
fallen hut ior the support accorded her.
The train that lipro the president
from the clt was a solid Pullman of
seven cars, drawn by two locomotives.
Fifteen minutes before It left a pilot
engine sped. out through the yards to
keep the track clear. Tlie train was
under thu general i barge of George
W. Boyd, assistant general passenger
agent of the Peniisylvunla Itailroad
company. D. M. Kinney, assistant
trainmaster, was In direct charge.
Conductor Johnson, who came here in
charge of President McKlnley's special
train from Cuntcui, was the Pullman
conductor today. The train crow was
made up of picked men In the Penn
sylvania and Pullman companies.
Behind the engines were the drawing-room
ears P.alclgh and Belgrade,
both of which were used by the news
paper men. Next came the dining car
Waldorf, the car Naples, Intended for
senators, the Hungary, for President
Itoosevelt and the cabinet. Next to thu
rear car was the Olympla, occupied by
Mrs. MuKlnlcy. and last of all was the
observation car Paellle, In which thu
body rested between the windows,
where It could be seen by the people
us the train went by.
The train left Buffalo only four min
utes behind schedule IJme. All along
the loute the tracks were lined with
people; at the towns throngs were as
sembled and everywhere the train sped
through forests of flag-poles bearing

KEYSTONE STATE
Iljr Kxrlinivp Wire from The AmocUIpiI IVsi.
Wllllamsport. Pa., Sept. 1(1 (Gn
board funeral train). At llonovo ropes
had been stretched to keep back the
crowds which surged tliiough the
neighboring streets. A big Hag, with
President McKlnley's picture framed
In crepe, was strung from corner to
corner of the station, and in fiont of It
were hundreds of school children, their
hats In their hands and their little
faces grave. This was the terminus of
one of the railroad divisions, and tlie
train hands wore all lined up with
bared heads. Some of those who trav
elled with President McKlnley to Cali
fornia last spring recalled how often,
when train crews were changed on
that trip, President McKlnley had sent
for the trainmen to petsonally express
his thanks.
After leaving Itenovo the train passed
through a more thickly populated
country and the crowds gtew denser.
Half-masted Hags were on every school
house and the bells of the churches
tolled dolefully as the funeral train
sped by.
President Hoosevelt lunched In the
dining car of the train with Secretary
Boot at 1.30. The members of the cab
inet and other distinguished person
ages aboard the train had preceded
him into tlie dining car. .Mrs. McKln
ley and her Immediate party remained
In the car Olympla, which was pro
vided with Us own dining car service.
At Lock Haven the young ladles of
the city lined up along the track and
strewed the path of the president with
flowers. Some had luiskets brimming
lull of color and others held the fra
grant blossoms In their arms. They
poured the wealth of their floral of
fering beneath the cruel wheels. Kach
small town had conceived some dis
tinct way of Its own o show its respect
for the dead. Others sought to obtain
souvenirs of the sad occasion In unique
ways. At one point beyond Lock Hav
en, hundreds of boys placed silver
coins oil the track and when the train
rushed by hurried to secure the lis
tened bits of silver for preservation as
mementoes In their families for all
time.
A Remarkablo Demonstration.
At Wllllamsport, which was reached
at L'::i0, there was a remarkable dem
onstration, the feature of which was
the presentation of an Immense lloral
offering by i.OOil school chlldicn of the
city. It was received by Colonel T, '.
Bingham, the president's, aide. He
stood on the platform of the observa
tion In which the catafalque lay ex
posed to view and tho scene was pro
foundly impressive.
U.iltimore, Sept. 1C After leaving
Williamspoii the train ran through
stretches of farming country dotted
here and there with small manufactur
ing towns. At Milton all work was
suspended, nnd the town tinned out en
masse at the station, and lined the
railroad track. At the busy little town
of Sunbuy the shops closed down for
a time and the brawny workmen lined
up In their overalls with serious faces
and hats in hand. All ngr and con
ditions of the people Joined In the tri
butethe children with tiny Hags
loppqd with knots of black, cripples on
crutches and babes held above the
crowd for a sight they might never see
again. It had been the Intention lo
run through Sunbury without a stop,
hut such were the Importunities of tile
townspeople that the train pulled up
for a moment between solid lines of
people,
lu the fifty miles from Sunbury to
Hanisbiirg the route skirted Hie placid
Susquehanna, and the vistas of green
elm! slope and peak gave way to bioad
sweeps of rich farming country. Tlie
ii vermeil were aware of the coining of
the train. A ponderous dicclge halted
lu its operations and the men lined
tlie deck of the uuwieldly craft. At a
little town ncrosn tho river the popu
lace had emptied upon the wharves
and could he seen straining for a view
of the speeding train. Further on a
homely f.irni-house had Its little porch
limped with black, and underneath
weie gathered the old and young of
the household with sorrowing faces.
At one cross-road hundreds of vehicles
were driven up, with country people
standing In them, and evidently tho
Inhabitants of some nearby town had
thus sought a point of vantage near
the track.
Near Pennsylvania's Capital.
Approaching Ilarrlsburg, factory
hands again lined the track. The
rooftops of buildings were alive with
people. Flags were half-nuisted and
emblems of mourning were at evciy
hand, Humheds of men mid women
crowded the tops of freight cars.
Within the station the people were
hanked lu thousands, surging through
all the approaching streets as far as
the eye could reach. From a huge via
duct spanning the track countless
facts peered down Into the car win
dows. The tolling of the chinch hells
could be heard, and as the train en
tered the station tlie shrill notes of a
bugle sounded taps. Despite tlie vigl
lance of the guards, women pushed
through to the train and pleaded at
the windowH for any trllle the cars
might yield as a numiciilo of this
eventful trip, Just uu thu train slopped
n great choir, ranged tier on tier on
the station steps, began "Nearer, My
God, to Thee," and thou as the train
pulled nut the strains turned to "My
Country, 'TIs of Thee." Printed slips
were handed to the car windows, giv
ing the lines of the two beautiful
hymns, deeply bordered In black,
A remarkable spectacle was pre
sented as the train moved Herons thu
long bridge spanning the Susquehanna
from llariisburg. Qn either side of the
stream, up and clown for miles, the
banks teemed with legions, of people.
From the blink of the stream they
were lu solid masses to the trees far In
the background. On the bridge Itself
urchins had clamored Into tilt tangle
of otppl fit the sIiIpm nod rnnf (In I lie
surface of the river, In u flotilla of row-
boats and yachts, hundreds more looked
up at Hie train of death. On the far
side of the bridge annther dense crowd
lined the tracks and with bared heads
peered Into the catafalque ear.
Again at York thu train moved for
half a mile between avenues of solid
humanity mid windows and house tops
were alive with people. By this lime
the sun was getting low and lu the
throngs were hundreds of workmen
with their dinner pallo. Kverywhere
the same scenes of sorrow and rever
ence that had gone before were re
enacted. At Baltimore.
Night came nn as the train sped from
York to Baltimore without a .stop and
lu tho darkness only the dickering
lights along the way arjd the tolling
of bells at the stations bespoke that
the manifestations of sorrow wete still
going on. As tlie train drew Into Bal
timore black masses of people could
be Keen ranged upon the huge viaducts
which Slum the line of tlie load, and
at every stieet ciosslng a living tide
surged up to the train. Nearlng the
station the locomotive literally plough
ed Its way among flowers, for great
masses of blossoms had been strewn
along the pathway of the train. In
side the station tlie Iron railing lipid
back a "urging multitude while within
the rail the entile force of the city
postolllce was drawn ui on one sldo
of the track with banners wound with
crepe and Hie force of the custom
house on tlie other side. In front of
the crowd stood Mayor Hayes, with
his sister, each bearing great clusters
of roses and palms a tribute from the
city to lie placed on the bier of the
dead president. As the flowers were
passed within tlie train the notes of
"Nearer My God to Thee" again arose.
A moment later the train was off for
the Until destination. At Baltimore thp
entire makeup of the train was re
versed, the catafalque car now being
ut the front, while that of Mrs. Mc
Klnley and the relatives, President
Itoosevelt and the cabinet and public.
officials followed In the order named.
It was shortly before S.HO o'clock that
the distant lights of the national cap
ital came Into view. Now the prep
arations for disc nibarkiiig the casket
began. The stalwart soldiers and sail
ors who were to bear It from the car
were summoned to their posts. As the
train ran tliiough the suburbs, the
knots of people along the way gradu
ally swelled to hundreds and then to
thousands. At S.'JS the train swept Into
the station; around which a great con
course were waiting to receive their
dead.
REMAINS AT REST
IN THE WHITE HOUSE
Washington. Sept. lfi. -The remains
of President McKlnley. tonight lie In
the east loom of the While House,
where, for more than four years, he
had made his home ns the chief magis
trate of the great American republic.
I'pstalifi his widow mourns for her
dead in the family apartments that now
bring back but the saddest of memor
ies. It was Willi simple ceremony and
n silence that fitted perfectly the sad
ness of the occasion that Hit boijy of
the late president was born up Penn
sylvania avenue to the White House
and laid upon the bier in tlie great
east room where ho had stood po often
In the pride of his manhood to receive
the greetings of the common people
he loved better than himself.
It was titling that such ceremony
as there was should be severely mili
tary In character, in recognition of the
fact that the piesldent was the com
mander In chief of the I'nlted States
army and navy. Nowhere was a show
of civilian participation. The streets
about the htutlon were filled with
mounted troops and the station itself
was occupied by stalwart soldiers and
sailors lu uniform. Tlie bluecoated po
licemen and the rallioad employes
were neatly all that stood for civil life.
It was uol so on the broad stretch of
avenue that led to the White House.
There the people strained and crowded
In u vast multitude against the stiff
wire ropes whlcli restrained them from
the space marked out for the line of
piocesslon. The silence thai marked
the progress of the funeral party
through the national capital was pio
fonnd. Tlie people as a whole did not
talk even In whispers, and the only
sign of agitation lu the great crowd
was the sllenl presslnr and striving
against tlie ropes to see tlie mournful
cortege which swept slowly along.
The train was a little late. It was
due at ..?.", but tlie clock stood at S.IIS
when thr headliuhi of the big locomo
tive Hashed along the rails and the
cars swept quietly to a stop at the
gnte.i.
Roceiving tho Remains,
Tlie way was rehired and down tho
pathway strode a body of sturdy sol
diers and sailors, chosen as the body
bearers and guard. They were met at
tho entrance of the observat on car,
"whore the remains lay, and .admitted
ut once. They then reverently carried
the casket tn the heat so.
Mis. McKlnley was aided from the
car by Aimer McKlnley mid Dr. Blxey
and was speedily placed In a carriage,
will, h drove off at once to the W'hlto
House, without awaiting tho pioces
slon. Close behind came the members
of the family of the late picsdciit,
who. likewise, were driven away Im
mediately to the executive lliauslnn.
Mrs. McKlnley was deeply veiled. She
iipcarcd to bear up with fortitude, but
leaned heavily uu the iuiuh of her sup
porters. Pti'dldunt llousevc.it cuine next. Ilia
arm was closely clasped by Captain
Cowles, of tlie navy, his brother-in-law,
who walked rather hast ly along
between the lllcs of ofllcers to the enr
rlage, Thu president walked firmly
erect, looking to neither side, his face
set und sorrowful, Closu behind him
pressed thu members of the 'ablnet,
Senator Uanna and Senator Fairbanks
followed. The former walked without
a sign of weakness and as though he
had nerved himself to the occasion.
When the carriage containing Mrs.
McKlnley, Dr. Blxey and Mr. Abner
McKlnley reached tho While House,
Dr. Blxey was the first to alight and
then Mr. Abner McKlnley. They ten
derly assisted Mrs. McKlnley to the
steps. With her right arm resting
heavily and wearily upon the shoulder
of her dead husband's brother, and
supported on the other side by Dr.
Blxey, she walked slowly along the
stone llagglng Into the house. She was
closely veiled, hut her feeble steps told
the story of her great suffering. She
was assisted at once tn the elevator
and lo her old room, nud soon retired.
Dr. Blxey and Mr. Cortelyou later said
that slip had stood the Journey very
well, Indeed, and they had confidently
expected that she would complete the
sad Journey to her old home without
dlflkulty. Among those who know her
best nnd were with her at Buffalo It
Is doubted whether she yet fully real
izes the calamity Hint has befallen
her and It Is with some apprehension
tliat they look forward to the first
days alone In Canton. "The major,"
as slip always lovingly called her hus
band is still with her but, when she
finds herself really alone, the awaken
ing may try her strength even beyond
the point yet reached. The result can
not be foretold.
Entering the White House.
When the sad cortege arrived ut the
white house the hearse stopped under
the portc cochere. The body hearers
took the coffin upon their broad shoul
ders, and passing up the three or four
steps waited until President Itoosevelt
and the members of the cabinet had
alighted from their carriages and then
followed them through the wide open
doors Into the east room. Just In the
center of the room under the great
crystal chandelier they deposited their
presclous burden upon a black draped
base and stood nt n salute while the
new chief executive and tlie cabinet
members with bowed heads passed by.
Following them came the chief ofll
cers of the army and navy now In the
ity, the guard of honor consisting of
ollleers of tho Loyal Legion, members
of the Union Veterans' union and the
Grand Army of the Republic.
An Interesting incident of the parade
was tho singing of "Nearer, My God,
to Thee," by a group of pectators.
just as the hearse containing the late
president's remains turned from the
Sixth street depot Into Pennsylvunli
avenue. The air vva-i taken up by the
throng and sung with feeling. Again,
as the hearse passed thiough Ihe gate
way of the White House, the same
strains were softly sung by a number
of people across tlie avenue.
President Itoosevelt accompanied by
the members of the cabinet, left the
house almost Immediately and were
driven to their homes, The casket had
been nlaeed lengthwise of the east
loom, the head to the north.' Piled
about it were a half hundred floral
emblems of exceptional beauty and as
many more were placed in the Inside
corridor until tomorrow. Two marines,
a soldier and sailor, stood guard, one
at each corner of the casket, while
seated on either sldo were two mem
bers of the Grand Army of the Repub
lic and two members of the Loyal Leg
ion. These will be relieved at Inter
vals of two hours during the night.
Before midnight the household had
ict lied to rest and the only lights to
be seen were those in the room where
his comrades kepi watch over their
dead chief.

Wllllamsport, Sept. 1C Willi tolling
bells, the muflled toll of drums and
the chimes of Trinity Episcopal church
ringing out in subdued tones the
favorite hymn of tlie martyr presi
dent, "Lead. Kindly Light." the funeral
train bearing the body of the dead
chieftain came slowly rolling Into the
Wllllamsport station at L'.IIO this after
noon. A stop of live minutes wns made,
during which time the train was thor
oughly examined by the car Inspectors
and tlie engine took on a fresh supply
of water. As tlu train cnnio to a stop
a guard of honor wuss drawn up around
It, composed of four companies of the
Twelfth regiment, N. G. P.; Reno post.
G. A. R., veteran legion; Sons of Vet
erans, and the Spanish-American War
veterans.
Several beautiful lloral pieces were
handed aboard, among them being u
massive bouquet of American Beauty
roses for Mrs. McKlnley, The schools
were dismissed and all business was
susponcfed during the transit of tho
train through the city. For a distance
of two miles the tracks of the Penn
sylvania railroad were lined on either
side with a weeping and uncovered
multitude, who hud assembled for the
purpose of paying their last respects
to their dead nnd honored president.
Sunbury, Sept. Pi. The passage
through this city of the special trnlu
bearing the remains of President Mc
Klnley was Indeed a sorrowful sight,
and one long to be remembered. Third
street, through which the Pennsylva
nia road runs, was literally covered
with flags and bunting, all heavily
dialled with crepe. As previously ar
ranged, nil business was suspended and
the entire population gatlieied on
either side of the street. No demon
stration was made, a dead silence pre
vailing. As the train passed slowly
through the throng, all hats were lifted
and from wet eyes and bowed heads
the funeral train was watched until Its
disappearance lu the distance. A stop
was made at the station long enough
to allow the correspondents to lllo
news dispatches. Companies 10 and K,
Twelfth regiment, headed by Colonel
C. M. Clement and staff, served as an
escort for the train through the (own.
Hiirlsburg. Sept. hi. Tlie McKlnley
funeral train reached Hnriishurg at
l.j and resumed Its Journey live mill- J
utes later. During tho wnlt at Union
station .100 niembes of the Harrlsburg
choral society sang: Nearer, My God
to Thee" and "America." Companies
D and I, F.lghth regiment, N, O. P..
and the Governor's Troop were drawn
tip along the track and stood at pies
ent aims us the train pascd through.
Before the train reached here the
crush nt the station was so great that
the mltltlii was called on by the rail
road authorities to drive tho crowd
back. It Is estimated that there were
30,001) persons crowded In and about
the station to see the train. Governor
and Mrs. Stone were In the crowd, but
thoy were unable to get near tho train.
Thu local Grand Army posts nlso turned
out to do honor to the memory of the

Exactly Ten Days.
At l.lfi o'clock this afternoon. Just
exactly ten clays after the shooting,
the grand jury voted unanimously to
indict Czolgosz for minder In the first
degree. At f.ll o'clock the secret In
dictment was presented to Judge. K til
ery In the county court.
Then ensued a wait of an hour, but
the rumor that the murdeier was to 1m
arraigned spread, and lu a short lime
tlie court room was crowded.
Great secrecy was maintained as to
the place or coiltllieinellt of the pris
oner, bill It Is believed that he wan
locked up lu the temporary Jail at the
Kile county penitentiary, where pris
oners have been kept while tlie jail
has been undergoing repairs.
After Hie Indictment was reported
tlie prisoner was driven fiom the peni
le ntary a mile from the city hall to
the jail neioss the street from the
hall. Czolgosz was then taken under
slicing guard from tlie Jail through th
upper tunnel near Delaware iiveium
to the basement of the city hall and up
the stalls to the court room on the
second floor.
The prisoner was shackled to a de
tective and another detective held Illn
other arm. Assistant ("usack marched
In from, and a number of patrnlnipn
behind. When the prisoner was taken
before the bench, the crowd In tho
court room surged about him on all
sides. They were compelled to resume
their seats.
Czolgosz Is of medium height, of
fairly good build and has light curly
hair, but a ten days' growth of beard
on his face gave him an unkempt ap
pearance. Apparently he feigned In
sanity, not stupidity, and his glance
roamed about, but Ills eyes were al
ways downcast. Not once did he look
Ihe county prosecutor or the Judge in
Hie face.
"Czolgosz, have you got a lawyer?
Do you wish a lawyer'.' You havo been
Indicted for murder In the llrst degree,
do 'you want a lawyer to defond you?
Czolgosz. look ai me and answer."
District Attorney Penney fired these
at the prisoner, his voice lisng with
