PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT,

who le-ll a vivUm to an assassin's bul
i<-t, almost broke do-wii when 11-a requested
■Mr. Roosevelt, on behalf cifl the members
of tho Cabinet of Uio lc.te President, to
take the prcsardbed oath.
There was not a dry eye In the room.
The new President was visibly shaken,
but ho controlled himself. With the
deep solemnity of' the occasion full upon
him, ho announced to those present that
his aim wpuld be to be William McKin
ley's successor in deed us well us in name.
SIGNIFICANT PLEDGET.
The grt^it far-reaching significance of
this piedge to continue the policy of the
dead President, announced at the very
threshold <A a new governmental regime,
profoundly impressed his hearers, and
President Roosevelt-? very lirst step af
ter taking the oath was in line of its re
demption.
His lirst act was to ask the members
of the-Cablnet to retain, their portfolios in
order to aid him to conduct the govern
ment on lines laid down by him whose
policy ho had declared he would uphold;
Such an appeal was not to be rested
and every member of the Cabinet, includ
ing Secretary of State Hay and Secre
tary of the Treasury Gage, who were
communicatd with in Washington, have
afrreed for the present, at least, to retain
their several portfolios.
President Roosevelt reached Buffalo at
1:40 this aftetnoon, accompanied only by
his private secretary "William Loeb, Jt.
An immense crowti. which had been await
ing his arrival for hours, vrae gathered
about the station eager to catch a first
sight of tho President. The train, how>»
ever, did not enter tb» station propo*.

and conducted him to an automobile which
his friend, Ansley Wilcox, had in wait
ins.
SOLEMN DEMONSTRATION.
The demonstration which greeted his ap
pearance was in keeping with the solemni
ty of the occasion. These who saw him
did not raise a cheer, but attested their
respect by lifting their hats.
As soon as he entered the vehicle, the
chauffeur turned lever and the automo
bile went skimming- away to the residence
of Mr. Wilcox on Delaware Avenue.
Twenty mounted police- clattering along
on either side could v/ith difficulty keep
the pace which the automoble set.
Prsident Roosevelt declined to make any
statement whatever for publication. "I
was so shocked," said he, "by the terri
ble news brought to me last night and by
the calamity which it entailed upon the
country, as well as by personal sorrow
which I feel, that I have had no time to
think of plans for the future conduct of
ths office which has been so suddenly and
sadly thrust upon me."
The President arrived at the Wilcox
home at 1:45 o'clock, his only attendants
being Mr. William Loeb, Jr.. his secre
tary, u-nd Mr. Ansley Wilcox.
With hardly any conversation he re
tired at once to his room, where he
batiicd and dressed. At 2:30 o'clock he
•was ready to leave for the MJlburn house,
Where t» desired to make his official
call o>s condolence. Ho was escorted by
a detail from the Fourth Signal Corps
and mounted police. So rapidly did his
driver proceed that his escort was left
a coupla of blocks behind', with the ex
ception ot tho commanding: officer and a

GANGRENE WAS
CAUSE OF "DEATH
Any Surgical or Medical Treatment
Was Powerless to Save Life
of the President.
MILBURN HOUSE, BUFFALO. N.
!*., Sept. 14.— The following report of
the autopsy upon the remains of Pres
dent Mclviniey was issued at 5 o'clock:
The bullet which struck over the
breast bone did noc pass through the
skin end did little harm. The other
bullet passed through both walls of
the stomach near its lower border.
Both holes were found to be perfectly
closed by the stitches, but the tissue
around each toic had become gangre
nous. After passin.? through the stom
ach the bulled passed into the back
walls of the abdomen, hitting and tear
ing the upper end of the kidney. This
portion of the bullet's track was also
gangrenous, the gangrene Involving
the "pancreas. The Ur/ict has not yet
been found 1 .
There was no sign of peritonitis or
ilsea.se of other organs. The heart
walls were very thin. There was no
evidence of any attempt at repair on
the part of nature and death resulted
from the gangrene which affected the
stomach around the bullet wounds as
well as the tics'ics around the further
course of the bullet. Death was un
avoidable by any surg-ical or medical
treatment, and was the direct result
of the bullet wounO.

Other Notes.
In no city in the country, perhaps,
has President MoKinley's death occa
sioned more genuine and sincere sorrow
than in this, the onco capital of tho Con
federacy.
In many ways this people have given
evidence of their Ifeelings, and this Sab
bath day will bo one that will long be
remembered by the citizens cm' Richmond.
In nearly, it not all, the churches there
will be references in the .prayers or ser
mons to the dea.thi of the President.
Some of the ministers are expected to
make extended remarks on the subject.
It had been partly planned to hold a big
mass meeting- of citizens in the Academy
-elf Music this afternoon, but after a fur
ther conference it was determined to
■postpone this meeting until the day of the
President's funeral.
The Governor issued a proclamation
closing all the State offices from noon
yesterday until Tuesday morning. In
obedience to his instructions the Howit
zers will begin firing- this morning: at
sunrise, and, continuing until sunset,
fire guns in the Capitol Square every half
hour. ,
(Both the State and United States flags
were placed at half mast upon the Cap
itol building. Many other flags, including
those on the Chamber of Commerce
building. The Times building', the cus
tom house and Lee Camp Hall were hai 1 *
masted.
ACTION OP CONVENTION.
The Constitutional Convention passed
appropriate resolutions a.ndl adjourned'
out of respect to the memory of the
President.
Throughout the city wherever one went
the tragic death of the President was
the almost sole topic discussed; In busi
ness circles there was no fear expressed
at Mr. Roosevelt's administration. It
was the general opinion expressed' that
he would follow in the footsteps of his
predecessor and carry out the policies he
had mapped out. This view of the sit
uation was confirmed by Mr. Roosevelt's
remarks after he had taken the oath of
office.
It is probable Richmond will be well
represented at the President's funeral in
Washington. There is a movement on
foot to send; a delegation of Confederate
veterans, and Captain C. O. Saville is
trying to arrange to take tho Richmond
Grays. It Is highly probable the City
Council, whSch will meet this morning 1 ,
will send a committee. Governor Tyler

TUB CASKET.
WILLIAM McKINLEY,
Born January 29th, 1543-
Died September 14th, 1901.
The foregoing is tho inscription on the
casket that will contain the remains of.
the martyred President. It is of red ce
dar, handsomely carved and covered with
tho finest black broadcloth. The interior
is finished with copper, over which is a
full tufted satin covering. A French bevel
plate glass runs the full length of the top
of tho casket.
The outside case is made of red cedar,
finely finished. The corners are capped
with polished copper and the handles are
of the same material. On the top of the
case is the copy plate board, a duplicate
of the inscription on the casket.
MRS M'KINLEY BRA\L.
Mrs MclCinley, feeble and broken-heart
ed as she is, bears up under her great
sorrow with remarkable fortitude, and
Dr Klxev says he believes she will be
able to go through the trying ordea of a
state funeral. A death mask will be
made by a Washington artist "named
Caret. All the President's relatives and
friends agreed that it was desirable that

should be preserved for the sake of his

POISONED /JIXET.
The report of the autopsy has again
„4 rise to a theory hinted at a day
fr two after the President >-as .snot .that
Czolgosz. in order to insure the accom
plishment of his purpose, poisoned the
bullets which he fired.
Tho gangrene found in the path of the
bullet is thought to be strong evidence
in support of this by Dr. TVasdln-. one
of the consulting physicians. Dr. WM«n
is considered an expert of high standing
in the matfine hospital service.
A. chemical and bacteriological examina
tion of" the remaining bullets in the pistol
will however, confirm or abolish mis
theory and' such an examination will un
doubtedly be made at once- by the au
thorities." But whether this
established' of not, it seems probable that
tho result of the autopsy will give rise
to a medical controversy.
WILL AROUSE DISCUSSION.
Thr> gangrened condition of the interior
wounds which the physicians thought
were healed, and' the fact that the phy
sicians announced positively that the kid.
ney which the bullet tore in its passage
through the abdomen was uninjured, were
so contrary to what was expected by
the public after the statements of the
physicians dmring the progress of the case
that discussion seems Inevitable.
The poisoned bullet theory might, of
course, account for the sudden and- puz
zling reversal of President McKlnley's
condition Just where the physicians laidi
such great stress upon his Improved- con
dition and gave such strong hope of his

DAY AT MILBURN HOUSE.
Picket Line of Infantry Kept Back Crowds
That Gathered.
MIL.BURN* HOUSE, BUFFALO, X. V..
Se-pt. 14.— Absolute quiet prevailed In the
neighborhood of tho Milburn residence
through the early hours of the day. '^f.s
police maintained the linos on Delaware
Avenue and the streets which intersect
it, and double picket lines patroled by in
fantrymen protected tho house from any
intrusion. Many persons came to tho out
er police lines and gazed in silenco at
th<» house where the body of the dca.l
President reposes.
Pathetic figures in the crowd wore
scores of oid Grand Army men, who trri-jve
at tho less of a comrade. Their bitter
ness at tho crime seemed melted In re
gret. Many of them pleaded with the po
lice for admission, to tho lines, declaring
that it was their right and privilege to
guard the body of the nwn who had
fought in their ranks and was their com
rade. The police regretfully enforced the
order against them.
A heavy, da.mp fog- still turns over the
city and gave the air a chill that was
penetrating. At S o'clock a company of
the Fourteenth Infantry, commanded by
Lieutenant James Ware, came t» relieve
their comrades who had been on sjuard
for twnty-four hours. The formalities of
posting the ne\* guards took place at
once.
BEAKS tTP WELQj.
None, who came *tr> show their fnrmw
for the dead President failed to ask so
licitously for Mrs. MeKlnley. It was
known that she was not strong physt
catly. and there was grave fear for the
consequences of the suffering and shock
she had experienced. The first word of
encouragement came from tho servants
of the (household, who said that sho was
still in li/?r room _and had apparently
rested well. This report -was amply con
ttrmed at 5:45 o'clock by Dr. WasJin, who
had called at the house to see her. He
saia that she taid not only rested fairly
well, but was showing eneour.':gins
strength in her grief.
Mm Rartier and Miss Mclviniey, sisters
of the dead statesman, drovo to tho Mil

once, escorted in. .Both showed deep

Abnrr McKinley. brother of President
McKinley, drove to >the MObum house at
10 o'clock, accompanied T>y Lieutenant
James McKinley, Colonel Brown and- Mr.
Meek, d 2 Canton. Tho police removed 1 the
rape lines and tho carriage rolled slowly
uip to the entrance, to tho house, Mr.
McKinley bent forward in his seat in the
carriage and shaded hi.s eyes with his
hands. "When he alighted he walked
slowly wp to the door of tho house, with
his eyes downcast and head bent. His
face plainly showed the strain and grief
of the night.
CAMERA OIBN TRRKPRESSrB^Q.
At 10 o'clock the Milburn house, which
all through tho morning had been silent
nnc 1 to outward appearances deserted,
showed its first stir. The relatives of
President McKinley began arriving, and
the waiting attendants stood at the open
dror to receive them. Mr. Milburn joined
the party at 10 o'clock, and for a time •
stood" at the door with bared head with
some of the friends of the McKinley fam
ily. By that time great crowds were bank
ed at the ends of the rope enclosure, but
perfect order was observed.

COLUMBUS, 0., Sept. 14.— Clarence M.
Jones, prcprietor of the Press-Post, was
rescued from a mob of several thousand
people this evening by the police and a
squad of police is now guarding the
building In which tho printing plant is
located.
To-day's editions of the paper contained
both editorial and hemlines referring to
the dead President in a manner offensive
to a grief-sTicken people, and popular
indignation was soon manifested by the
gathering of an excited crowd in front of
the Press-Post office.
Threats were made, but no overt act was
committed until the carriers started with
their bundles of papers for delivery to sub
scribers The crowds made a rush tor the
first boy who appeared, seized his papers
and made a bonfire of them in the streot
This was kept up until there were no more
papers to burn and then the crowd wMcfc
had grown to large proportions, becam'
demonstrative, threatening to wreck the
m remtS places,
but Mr Jcnes remained in the building,
anu Sringto leave.alone, MMta

'quad of men. He addressed the crowd,
counselling moderation and appealing to
them to-disperse. Hte speech had a. quiet
ing effect and a few minutes later Mr.

ficers,' emerged from the building, entered
a hack and was driven away amid the
jeers of the crowd.
The crowd dwindled somewhat, but did
not disperse and ngatn became demon
strative. The r">Hf ? were powerless and
stood looking on, while the. crowd pro
cured a ladder and took down a largr*
sign from the front of thp building and
carried it out Into the street. The sign
was quickly reduced to kindling and
another bonfire was started. More police
were summoned, and ropes were stretched
