HU Lut Words Were "tied's Will be Dono !"-lien! al no Will be Burled at Canton, Ohio-Roosevelt Sworn In as Presi dent. HILBUUN House, BUFFALO, N. Y., September ll.-President McKinley died at 3,10 o'clock thia morning. Ho had been unconscious since 7.310 p. m. His couscious hour on earth vana spent with tho wife to whom ho devoted a lifetime of onre. Uo died unattended by a minister ot tho Gospel, but bis last words wove an humble submission to tho will of tho God in whom ho be lieved. Ho wns reconciled to tho cruel fato to which an assassin's bullet bad condemned him, and faced death in the same spirit of calmness and poise which has marked bis long and honor able career. His last conscious words reduced to writing by Dr. Mann, who stood at his bedside when they were uttered, were as follows : "Good-bye, all, good-bye. It's God's way. His will be dono." His relatives and members of the official family wore at the Milburn house, except Secretory Wilson, who t 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 conscious ness for his final parting with his wife. He asked for h?r 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 samo bravery and fortitude with which she had borne the grief of tho tragedy which has ended his life. The immediate canso of tho Presi dent's death is undetermined. His physicians disagree audit will possibly require ..n autopsy to lix the exact cause. The President's remains will be taken to Washington and thero will be ft State funeral. Vice President Roosevelt, who now succeeds to tho Presidency, may take the catii of office wherever he happens to hear the news. The Cabinet will, of coarse, resign in a body and President Roosevelt will havo an opportunity of selecting a now Cabinet if ho so desiree. The Tage of the people of Buffalo against tho President's assassin when they learned to-night that he was dying waa boundless. Thousands sur rounded the. Jail, and the entire police force of the city and two regiments of militia were utilized to insure his pro tection. Before 0 o'clock last ovening it was clear to those at the President's bed side that ho was dying and prepara tions were made for tho last sad offices of farewell from those who were near est and dearest to him. Oxygen had been administered atcadily, but, with little effect in keeping off the approach of death. Tho President came out of one period of unconsciousness only to relapse into another. But in this period, when his mind was partially clear, occurred a series of events of profoundly touching character. Down stairs, with strained and tear-stained faces, members of tho Cabinet were grouped in anxious waiting. They knew tho end was near and that the time had come when they must see him fer the lust timo on earth. This was about l> o'clock. Ono by ono they ascended tho stairway-Sec retary Root, Secretary Hitchcock and Attorney General Knox. Secretary Wilson was also thero, but ho held back not wishing to seo tho Prenden t in his last agony. There was on?y a momentary stay of the Cabinet officers it the threshold of the death ctumbei. Then they withdrew, the tears stream ing down their faces and the words of ntense grief choking in their throats. Kiter they left the sick room tho phy sicians rallied him to consciousness md the President asked almost in itantly that bis wife bc brought to lim. The doctors fell back Into the shad >ws of tho room and Mrs. McKinley arno tbrongh the doorway. The tr on g face of the dying man lignted ip with a faint smile as their hands rere clasped. She sat benido him and leid his hand. Despite her physical weakness she bore up bravely under he ordedl. Then his mind began to wander and non afterward he completely lost con ciousness. His life was prolonged for ours by the administration of oxygen, nd then the President finally ox reseed a desire to be ni!owed to die. ibont 8.30 the administration of oxy en ceased and the pulse grew fainter nd fainter, flo was sinking gradu Uy like a child into the eternal slam er. By 10 o'clock the pulso co cl il not inger be felt in his extremities and ley grew " cold. Below stain the rief-stricken gathering waited sadly >r the end. \ All the efreuing those who had has med here fast aa steam and steel mid carry them drove np in carriages r were whisked up in automobiles, all axion* to get here before death came, ne o''the last to arrive was Attorney emeral Knox, who arrived at 0.80. \? promptly went up-stairs to look for ? . tho loot time upon the face of his chief. The Rev. C. D. Wilson, a Methodist minister of Tonawanda, N. Y., who was tho President's pastor forthr?o years at Canton, called at tho residence to inquire whether his services were needed, but did not cuter the house. Another Methodist minister, who has a church nearby, remained nt tho Mil burn residence for two hours in tho belief that his services might bo de sired! At 0.87 Secretary Cortolyou, who bad been much of tho time r.i thc ci his dying chief, sent out formal notili cation that tho President wns dying. But he lingered on, hip pulse growing faintor and fainter. There was no need for oflicial bulle tins after this. Those who carno fruin tho houso nt intervals told tho sninc Btory-that the President was dying and that tho end might como at any time. His tremendous vitality was tlu only remaining factor in the result and this gave hopo only of brief postpone ment of tho oud. Tho President, in his last period ol consciousness, which ended about 7Ai p. m., chanted the words of tho hymn "Nearer, My God, to Thee," and hil nudiblo conscious words ns taken dowi by Dr. Mann ut the bedside were "Good-bye, all,- good-bye. It is God'i woy. HIB will be dor e." Minutes lengthened to hours am midnight came with the President stil battling against death. Secretary Root and Secretary Wilso: came from the houso about midnigli and paced up and down the sidewall All that the Secretary said was: "The night has not come yet.1' Despite the fact that vitality coi ti uued to ebb as midnight approach o no efforts were spared to keep tl spark of lit' > glowing. Dr. Janewn; of New York, arrived at the Buffo depot nt 11.40 o'clock. George Urbt was waiting for him and they drove ? a break-neck paco to tho Milbui houso. Ho was shown to the Pres dent's room at onco and began an e: nmination of the almost inammn form. . ; Secretary of tho Navy Long arrive at the Milburn houso nt 12.00 o'cloc This was his first visit to tho city ai he had tho extreme satisfaction seeing the Presidentalive, eventhoui ho was not conscious of his visito: presence. Mr. Long was visibly a footed. Vice President Roosevelt had be notified early in tho day of the critic state of affairs. There was no lon? a doubt that in the approaching den a complete change in the executive a ministration of the Government wot ensue. When Mr. Roosevelt wot toke the oath of office is a matter conjecture- I President Arthur took the oath a a.m. af ter the death of Garfield, a in that case Justice Brady, of N York, administered the oath. Tin is no requirement that tho oath sb be administered by tho Justice of t United States Supremo Court, ni tho a that procedure is adopted when c cumstances permit. Shortly after midnight the Prc dent's breathing was .barely percej ble. His pulse had practically ceai and tho extremities were cold. lt \ recognized that nothing remained 1 the last struggle, and some of friends of the family, who had remo ed through the day began to leave house, not caring to be present at final scene. Such an intense state of anxiety i?ted among tho watchers that rum gained frequent circulation that dc had actually occurred. It is almost certain that an auto on tue President's body will be hold determine the exact causo of der This is the wishjof all of the surge and physicians who were in nttendar The peculiar action of the Preside; heart was more or less of a puzzle ? Dr. McBurney expressed the opie that in the interest of science as x is in the interest of the Governm ind tho world it was desirablo that sxact cause of death be detcrmin The President's heart gave trou from the beginning, but- its err, lotion war at first thought to be to shock of tho wound, but when pound had begun to progress fovc >ly the heart gave moro trouble ; mxioty than over. Its action beet 'coblo and gave out altogether. The President's death will be dm mart exhaustion, but some of tho p Jcinns do not believe them wasorgr leart trouble. Tho theory of at lc ?ne of the physicians is that tho or ia! shock of the first bullet over leart had much to do with tho trou , hich caused death. The announcement of the do ai! he members of the Cabinet was m lyWebb Hayes, who said: "It ie ver." Mrs. McKinley last saw her hush etweeii ll and li. At that time st by the bedside holding hia ha 'he members of th3 Cabinet were bitted to the sick room Bingi" at 1 imo. Tho ac tn ni death'probably occm bont2 o'clock; it being underst int Dr. Rixey delayed the annoui iont momentarily to assure himge?: Th? announcement of' the new moo whiting below was postponed 1 tho members of tho family it lui raw n. Through Secretary ( riyou the waiting newspaper mon jived tho notification. In a t ?ero was tho keenest cxcitemen the broad avenue, but there waa no Bt inblanco of disorder. When tho news was imparted to i lioso down-stairs a great sigh of an guish went up from the strongmen thero assembled. The members of the Cabinet, Senators and friends remain ! ed but a few minutes. Then with mournful and bowed heads they came out into tho darkness and went away. There was not ono among them with dry eyes and some moaned in an agony of grief. The military guard was augmented immediately upon tho announcement;. The wv.it ing crowds melted away rap idly, giving expression is unmistakable terms to tho great sorrow they felt. Within a brief space of time tho news paper men, tho police, tho sentrieaof the guard nnd those whoso duties kept them abroad were the only persons in evidence within tho immediate vicinity. Those present at the time of tho President's death were : . Secretary Cortelyou, Dr. Rixey, Miss and Mrs. Harber and Mrs. Duncan. Tho city, not only in those parts near the Milburn house, but all over, and even out in the Exposition grounds, went into a state of ferment when the news of the sudden collapse of the President was announced. Tho ill news of the early day bad been some what softened by tho later afternoon announcement that there was a Blight improvement, and the sudden an nouncement of his approaching* disso lution came as a great surprise. At the Pun-American grounds it was an nounced that he was dead and the ma jority of tho immense crowd turned towards the city. In the city itself the papers refrained from any anticipa tion, but mnde it understood that there was no hope. 11 seemed but an instant when crowds formed at every corner, swarmed towards the newspaper bulle tins and, when ?hey found tho rumors were continued somebody shouted: "Let's lind the assassin!" With an impulse the crowd started for tho station bouse, where Czolgocz is confined. Telephones were utilized and tho police notified, and when the crowd arrived they found the police, out iu force. Superintendent Bull, anticipating trouble, called out the entiro force, and in addition asked 4th brigade head quarters to bo in readiness to assist. Col. Welch, in charge, answered by ordering two companies each from the 05th and 74th regiments to their armo ries, to await immediate call. Around the station house, it is estimated, at 8 o'clock at least 0,000 people were gath ered. They wore not particularly ugly and were quiet, and when the police pioceeded to drive them back there I was little resistance. At ft o'clockthey had been sont back two blocks on each side of the police station, and before 10 o'clock, weary with waiting for de finite news, they had dispersed or gone to the newspaper bulletins. Up about tho corners near the Mil burn house was a picturesque, but rather a gruesome, scene, when it is remembered that the crowds gathered there were awaiting the President'? death. BUFFALO, N. Y., Sept. 14, 7 p. m. Theodore Roosevelt took the oath as President of tho United States at 2.80 o'clock this af ternoon. The oath was administered by Judge Hazel, of the United States District Court. When Secretary Root announced that Judge Hazel was ready to administer tho oath. Mr. Roosevelt said: "I shall take the oath at onco in accordance with your request and in this hour of deep and terrible national bereavement I wish to Btat?? that it shall bo my aim to con tinue uosolutely unbroken tho policy of President McKinley for the peace and prosperity and honor of our be loved country."
