CEREMONIES AT WASHINGTON Solemn Procession from the White ilouse to the Capltol-The Funer al Services Held There - Renci. ous Exercises Remains Lylne In State Viewed by Thousands The Tremendous Crush -Many Persons Injured -The Journey to the Last Restln Place of the Dead President. ' Washington. September 17. All that is mortal of William McKinley is sneed ing toward its last earthly resting place 31 ma beloved home in Canton, after the nation had officially and with state ceremony paid its tribute of respect and love to the memory of Its stricken chief magistrate. This was almost the clos ing act in the awful tragedy which has drenched the civilized world in tears. Beneath the great white dome of the capitol funeral services of state were here today over the remains of the dead president. The services were simple. They were conducted in accordance with the rites of the Methodist Episco pal church, of which President McKin ley was a life-long member. Consls ing only of two hymns, a song, a prayer and an address and a benediction, they were beautiful and solemnly impressive. Gathered around the bier were repre sentatives of every phase of American national life, including the president and the only surviving ex-president of the United States, together with rep resentatives at this capitol of almost every nation of the earth. Both sides of Pennsylvania avenue from the White nous? to the capitol were massed with an impenetrable cor don of people wishing in this way to pay final tribute of iove and respect for the dead. As the funeral cortege escorted by troops representing every department of the nation's martial service and by representatives of religious and civic organizations passed down the broad thoroughfare to the solemn notes of the "Dead March from Saul" wailed by the bands the sorrowing people bared their heads despite the rain and the many tearstained faces bespoke their grief more eloquently than words. It was a silent throng. As with solemn and condensed tread the procession moved down the avenue the people rec ognized as one of mourners their former President G rover Cleveland, who had come to pay his tribute to his succes sor. They recognized, too. their new president, upon whom the responsibil ities of chief executive had been thrust so unexpectedly. Amorg the hundreds of other distinguished persons who were in attendance upon the funeral services were Governor Aycock, of North Carolina, and Governor White, of West Virginia. Colonel A. C. Kauf man, of Charleston represented Gover nor McSweeney of South Carolina and conveyed the governor'? regrets that he was unable personally to attend. Among others present were Senators Mallory, of Florida: Tillman, of South Carolina, and Daniel, of Virginia; Rep resentatives Rixey, of Virginia. Kitch in. of North Carolina, and Richardson of Tennessee. THE BOD YLYING IX STATE. At the conclusion of the funeral ser vices in the rotunda the casket lid was removed. At 12:30 o'clock the crowds began to file through the rotunda and during the six hours in which the body was lying in state it is estimated that 55.000 people viewed the remains. When the remains of the dead presi dent were finally closed forever to the view of Washington people the cavalry escort again was formed and conveyed them to the special train which now is carrying the body to Canton. The magnificent display of floral offerings, numbering no less than 125 pieces and making the most remarkable floral tri bute ever seen here, were taken to the station from the capitol in carriages and wagons and there placed aboard a special car which had been provided for them. Three sections, comprising in all twenty passenger coaches, were neces sary to accommodate all those who ac cepted invitations to make the journey to Canton. The train left Washington at S:20 o'clock. THE WASHINGTON CEREMONIES. The second stage of the late presi dent's journey toward the waiting grave at Canton was begun a few mo ments after 9 o'clock. As early as an an hour before that time several mem bers of the diplomatic corps In court costume called at the White house. Former President Cleveland and for mer Secretary of War Lamont arrived about S:30 and were shown at once to seats in the Red parlor. The members of the cabinet began to arrive soon af ter and were immediately followed by the members of the United States su preme court, headed by Chief Justice Fuller, in their robes of office. President Roosevelt arrived at S:50 o'clock, accompanied by his wife and his sister and went immediately to the Clue parlor where they were joined by the members of the cabinet. The pres ident wore a frock coat with a band of crepe on the left arm. Senator Hanna reached the White house onlv a short time before the procession was to move. His face look ed drawn, and, leaning heaviily on his cane, it was painfully evident that he was suffering. During the night and morning a por tion of the many beautiful floral tri butes sent to the White house were placed about the funeral casket. A de sign of over six feet in diameter com posed of galax leaves and American beauty roses, about which was en twined the American flag, came from the mayor and council of Richmond, Virginia. THE FUNERAL. ESCORT. While the men of note were arriving at the White house the funeral escort under command of Major General John R. Brooke was forming Immediately in front of the White house. Besides regulars of soldiers, sailors and marines the escort was made of a detachment of the natfonal guard, members of the Grand Army of the Re public, Loyal Legion and kindred bodies and civic organizations and representa tives of all branches of the national government and the governors of states and their staffs. , At exactly 9 o'clock a silent com mand was given and the body bearers silently and reverently raised to their Btalwart shoulders the casket contain ing all that was mortal of the illustri ous dead. They walked with slow ca denced steps, and as they appeared at the main door of the White house the marine band stationed on the avenue Opposite thft mansion etninlr ,t "jmu me aeaa president loved so well nearer My God to Thee As the hearse moved away the mourners from the White house enter ed carriages and followed the body on its march to the capitol where the fun eral services were to be held- It was inougnt early In the morninir that Mr McKinley might feel strong enough to attend the services there, but it was nnany decided that it would be im prudent to tax her vitality more than was absolutely necessary and so she conciuaea to remain in her room. DOWN THE AVENUE. Slowly down the White house drive way through a fine, drizzling rain, the solemn c,ortege wound its way down to me gate leading to the avenue and halted. Then with a grand, solemn swing, the artillery band began the "Dead March from Saul," a blast from a bugle sounded "March," and the head of the procession was moving on its way to the capitol. The casket was in a black carved horse drawn by six coal black horses, caparisoned in black net with trailing tassels, with a stalwart groom at the head of each. THE TROOPS IN LINE. Major General John R. Brooke was at the head of the line. Behind him came a squadron of cavalry, a battery of field artillery, a company of engi neers, two battalions of coast artillery and a detachment of the hospital corps. Then came the naval contingent of the first section headed by the band. rwho were followed by a battalion of marines and one of sailors from the North Atlantic squadron, very pictur esque and strong. Close behind the hearse came a car riage in which were seated ex-President Grover Cleveland, Rear Admiral Rob ley D. Evans, and General John M. Wilson. In a carriage drawn by four fine black horses coming next were Presi dent Roosevelt, Mrs. Roosevelt and Commander W. S. Cowles, the presi dent's brother-in-law. Then followed a long line of carriages. The artillery band played a solemn dirge as it with slow steps led the sor rowful way down the avenue. All the military organizations carried their arms but with colors draped and furled. The crowds were silent. All was sad, mournful and oppres sive. In the civic portion of the parade were the United Confederate Veterans of Alexandria, Va., the Southern Man ufacturers Club, of Charlotte, and many governors and their staffs. The procession occupied an hour and a half passing a given point. ARRIVAL AT THE CAPITOL. For hours before the arrival of the uneral cortege at the east front of the capital an impenetrable cordon of peo ple was massed along the walk and areas fronting the plaza. Thousands upon thousands of sorrowing people had gathered here to pay their last tribute of respect and love to the memory of the dead magistrate. A drizzling rain began early to fall, but just before 10 o'clock the gray heavens opened and the rain fell almost in tor rents. At 10:12 o'clock the head of the pro cession arrived at the north end of the capitol plaza. Headed by Major Gen eral John R. Brooke and staff, and the Fifth artillery corps band the troops swept around to the south end of the plaza and then marched . to position fronting the main entrance to capitol. As soon as it had formed at rest, an artillery band on the left and the ma rine band on the right of the entrance, the funeral cortege with its guard of honor entered the plaza from the north. As the hearse halted in front of the main staircase, the troops, re sponding to almost wishpered com mands, presented arms. As the eight sturdy body bearers, four from the army and four from the navy, tenderly drew the flag drap ed casket from the hearse, the bands sweetly wailed the pleading notes of Nearer My God, to Thee." Every head in the vast attendant throng was bared. Tear bedimmed eyes were raised to heaven and a silent prayer went up from the thousands of hearts. With careful and solemn tread the body bearers began the ascent of the staircase with their precious burden and tenderly bore it to the catafalque in the rotunda. SERVICES IN THE ROTUNDA. The funeral services at the capitol over the remains of the late President McKinley were as simple and beautiful as is" usual in the Methodist church. Two hymns, a prayer, an address, and a benediction comprised all of it, yet the impression left at the end was of perfection. The people were slow in gathering. Among the first comers were the army officers. General Randolph in charge of the artillery arrangements at the capitol, was first among these and soon after came General Fitzhugh Lee. Just at 10 o'clock Admiral Dewey made his appearance, accompanied by General Otis, General Davis and Gen eral Ruggles. He glanced over the scene within and then took up his sta tion at the eastern entrance where he was joined by the other members of the guard of honor. Admiral Schley was among the arrivals. The cabinet entered and were seated to the south of the plaform; and then to the strains of "Nearer My God, to Thee" by the marine band, outside, the casket was borne into the rotunda. Every one arose. The guard of honor on either side separated and the casket was gently placed upon the catafalque. Next came the family of the deceased, Abner McKinley leading. They were seated near the head of the casket. Senator Hanna was with the family party. Next, the diplomatic corps entered. all in full court regalia and were seat ed to the south. Former President Cleveland also entered and with Gen eral Wilson, his escort, sat in the first row. Lastly came President Roosevelt escorted by Captain Cowles and pre ceded by Mr. Cortelyou, secretary to the president. He was given a seat at the head of the row occupied by the cabi net, just south of the casket. Mr. Roosevelt's face was set and he ap peared to be restraining his emotions with difficulty. "When the noise occasioned by seat ing the late comers had ceased a hush fell upon the people and then the choir softly sang "Lead Kindly Light," while every one stood in reverence. . THE RELIGIOUS SERVICE. At the conclusion of the hymn Rev. Dr. Henry R. Naylor, presiding elder 'of the Washington district M. E. church delivered the invocation while the dis tinguished company listened with bow ed heads. As the pastor ceased the voices of the choir swelled forth, and the pure so prano voice of Mrs. Thomas C. Noyes led the hymn "Sometime We'll Under stand." The music was remarkably ef fective and touching as the notes came back In soft echoes from the fulness of the dome overhead. As soon as the hymn ceased Bishoo Edward G. Andrews, of the Methodist Episcopal church, who had come from Ohio to say the last -words over the mams oi nis meiong iriena and p; ishloner, arose. He stood at the he of the casket and spoke In sympathetic voice and with evidences of dee emotion. j The address lasted but a bare quar ter of an hour. As the bishop conduct ed every one in the vast rotunda ros and the choir, intoning the air, hunf- dreds of voices joined in the grand oil hymn "Nearer My God to Thee." was an affecting moment. In the midst of the singing Admlr Robley Evans, advancing with silent tread, placed a beautiful blue floril cross at the foot of the casket. The last notes died away softly anl with uplifted hands the benediction was pronounced by Rev. Dr. W. E. Chapman, acting pastor of the Metro politan church. This ended the relig ious services. j There was was a pause for a fev minutes, while the ushers cleared th aisles and the assemblage began t withdraw. President Roosevelt and tli cabinet repaired to the president's roop in the senate wing of the capitol. The were Joined there later by some of th other distinguished personages present including former President Cleveland When the latter entered the room he was cordially greeted by Mr. Roose velt. I As soon as the rotunda was cleared of those who had been invited to at tend the religious services, the bier was prepared for the inspection of thd general public. The floral offerings which covered the coffin were put aside and the lid was lifted from the head of the coffin. As the coffin rested upon the catafal. que it was about high enough to permit of easy inspection by adults. The crowd entered through the east main door of the capital and passed outi through the west exit. The people canfe in double file, one line passing to the right and the other to the left of! the casket. Only a hurried glance vsai permitted to any one. About 130 people were enabled to view the remains every minute. ! The crowd consisted of men, women and children, and all colors and agesj were represented. Many children were carried through the building in the arms of their parents. As the body of the dead president lay in state it wa3 guarded by representatives of all branches of the nation's martial ser-i vice, under command of General W. F.' Randolph, chief of artillery. The whole scene was photographed scores of times. Apparently the throng was in an apprehensive state of mind for every time a flashlight picture was taken piteous screams were heard from people about the entrance. THE CRUSH AT THE CAPITOL.

Settember 17. (On board the funeral train) Leaving Washing ton, the long w inding train bearing the remains of the martyred president plunged out into the dark night and vmrried like a. black streak on its mournful journey. The curtains of the train were drawn as it pulled out of the station save only for the observation car, in which the corpse lay guarded hv a soldier and sailor of the republic. That car alone was flooded with light. The countless thousands extending from the station far out into the sub urbs of the national capital waiting pa tiently there in the drenching rain to pay their last farewell had an opportunity- to catch 'a last fleeting glimpse of the flag covered casket as the train sped by. The funeral train was oiviaea into three seetions running ten minutes apart. A section containing the Cuban committee and a number or omciais oi the government preceded the funeral train nroner. and this in turn was pre ceded fifteen minutes by, a pilot engine. The last section contained the guard of honor, headed by Major uenerai Brooke and Admiral Dewey.

AYCOCK Our Raleigh Correspondent Sends Us the Governor's View on Many and Varied Snbjects-An Accident to a Seaboard Air l.lne Train. Messenger Bureau. Raleigh. N. C, September 17. Governor Aycock is greatly in ear nest in his language regarding the pro ceedings for mandamus to force the corporation commission to assess rail ways for taxation this year. He says "the corporation commission acted in exact accordance with the agreement made and with the legislative will." He added "see my special message to the legislature on this subject." This message will be made part of the ans wer which the attorney general will make to the application for mandamus. It is the opinion of able attorneys here that the answer will turmlnate the en tire attempt to overturn a very salemn agreement in which the faith of the governor is pledged. It may be said in passing that Governor Aycock always keeps his pledges and he says he in tends to stand by them here. In his message, on which the legislature acted so promptly, that he transmitted the report of the corporation commission which showed that the railway tax cases, so long in the federal courts, were compromised and settled; that the state was willing that the property of railways should only be assessed as other state property is assessed; that this settlement is just and he there fore recommended that the legislature place the railways upon an equality with all other taxable property in the state as to the time of assessment, and that the railway property therefore be not again assessed until 1903. The rail ways under this compromise and agree ment, have paid in to the state $44,561 general taxes. $32,084 Into the school fund, $101,559 to the counties and besides this have paid back to the state all the latter expended for attorney's fees. The governor said in concluding his message that this is an instance in which it was wise both for the state and the railways to come to an agree ment. The refusal of Governor Aycock to pardon Mallett and Mehegan, the ex business men of Tarboro, convicted of swindling, was fully expected. They will have to serve their term of three years in the penitentiary, During the state fair here in October there will be a clay pigeon tournament under the auspices of the Raleigh Gun Club. There will be twenty events, with $3 added money in each. Judge Thomas C. Fuller has return ed here from Asheville, where he has been for two months. His health con tinues very feeble. W. K. Davis, one of the best known residents of Franklin county, is dead. He was buried here. He represented that county thrice in the legislature. Governor Aycock, when asked the best way to protect the lives of presi dents said: "By stamping out anarchy and all organizations of, anarchists. You can accomplish nothing by enact ing laws to protect the officer, for those laws now exist. The way to prevent is to provide against the advocacy of an. archist doctrines." This morning near Kittrell, while En gineer Thomas Enniss, of the Seaboard Air Line, was making rapid time, both side rods of the engine broke, and the cab was wrecked. His injuries are critical. He was brought here to a hos pital. His home is in this city. He is a son of the late James H. Enniss, so well known all over the state. In the supreme court this morning Attorney General Gilmer made the formal announcement of the death of President McKinley. The chief justice responded and directed that the proper entry be made upon the minutes. The court as a further mark of respect ad journed without transacting any busi ness. All the members of the Raleigh bar in the city were present. The capital was again closed today. There will be public exercises here at the time of the president's funeral. A prominent lawyer informs your correspondent that on the supreme court's docket, from Nash county, there is a case, a civil suit, which is' made a "blind" for an outragious at tack upon an ex-judge of the superior court. A motion is made to set aside a judgment, in order to make it appear that his conduct was not what it ought to have been. My Informant says that "the language used in the brief is disgraceful and that it is an effort to gratify private spleen." The state commissioner of agricul ture gives his hearty official endorse ment to the call for a state convention of cattle-growers in this city this month, to take steps to maintain the price of cotton seed and thus foil the trust, which is seeking to greatly re duce' prices- , OLDSHORO GOSSIP.

Since yesterday the attention of the court has been taken us with the action of Judge Kirby. a 3oung negro against the Atlantic Coast Line for damages in the sum of $10,000 for the loss of an arm while in the employ of the defend ant company. Kir'cy claims that In obedience to the freight conductor's or ders he went in between the cars to couple them and the train came togeth er with a crash, his arm being caught between the bumpers and crushed so badly that amputation was necessary, On the other hand the conductor denies this contention, and the defendant com pany undertakes to show no act of neg ligence on its part.
