Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. 16.— • The silent form of William McKinley was borne from this city in impressive stare this morning and taken on its last journey to the national capital. Just 11 days ago lie came to the Pan- ■ American exposition in full health and | vigor. H« was received with an enthu siasm that was unprecedented in the annals of the city and fur 24 hours he j enjoyed himself thoroughly. The story of the fouiest of assassina tions, the pathetic stride to recover as outwardly demonstrated while death was slowly working on the v.tals, the breathless hopes of a nation and loved ones, the terrible 24 hours of suspense when death made its final demand ng.iust tuv human skill, ail are matters of history now. Tue brilliant statesman, who but 24 hours before bad outlined his fu ure policy to an assemblage at the Pan- American, tne learned guess *i a great city, was taken out in silent splendor, his career ended so far a- ms uoimuaut personality is concerned, ahhuugu ins policies will remain. Thousands upon thousands watched the impressive procession mis mormtif: moving towards the depot. It was douidy impressive because of its lack of g rgeousness and because of the fact that, closely behind tue pall covered corpse of the dead president, followed the successor to the title and the living cuuirge in the country’s history. Hulla o Up Early. Buffalo stirred early this morning, but eariv as its inhabitants, •ur.ous or sympathetic, awoke to get a vantage place from wincu to view tiie departure of the dead president, polios and sol- diery invd anticipated them. At the Milburn mansion, where the family of the dead statesman slept, at the Wtle.ox mansion, wnere the new president reposed, and down town near the city hali, where tiie silent form of the former president lay, the guar.is wore formed early and tue streets ken: clear of people. It was not a very pleasant morning. The sun *hon«, but the wind blew in long fitf-ul gusts acro«-> the oHy, tearing down tmupiugs and raising clouds of dost. At the Mahntru manuon, where Mrs. McKittlev was, the soldiers wore astir early and there was nure aetivky than has been eiuoe tiie (mooting. By o’cioek there were transfer wsgous and carriages drawn up at the corners near the house and thore within were up and preparing far the joftrney to Wusmug- ton. At 7:86 several people stepped out on the porou and walked down towards the carnage#. Mr#. William McKinley, robed in garb# of mourning and sup ported by Abner McKinley on one side aud Dr. Rix«y ou tne other, wo# the central figaro. To the surprise of ail she walked brtaltiy with her bean quite erect, h*r face hiadsu behtud hex mug black Toil. She got kite th« oarruigv with k«r favunt# aicve, Miss Barber, A burr MdDakey auk Dr. Riuy and they were driven at. ouoe to the depot. So tar a# could hr aMti she sat erect aud unsupported in the carriage Tne famiiy of Abner McKinley, other relatives of the dead urendent, and Sec retary Cortelyou followed hi tteir cur- riagus and me Milburn bouew, Famous now because of lie oounectioa with the great national tragedy, went back into thu p<M»*ssiou of its owner, who bed so kindly given it up to the use of the pres ident and his famiiy.

The raeii were awaiting the body of their late commander-in-chief. A min ute of aweinspiring silence and emerg- i >g from the doors of the city hall there moved the eight bodybearers. tour sol diers aud four sailors. On their shoul ders rested the casket inclosing the body of the country’s beloved one. Away oown the line of soldiery from the aixty-fiith regiment baud came once again th$ strains of “Nearer, My God to Thee.” Behind the long ropes the throng uncovered, aud with bowed heads, waited anti watched in silence. Tenderly the precious burden was borne slowly down the stone steps, along the curved approach, to the h arse. Tue flag draped casket was lifted gently into tue hearse and the doors closed.

The cortege passed into Church street, and winding past St. Paui schurcn into Main street, tne dead president was car ried to Buffalo street. Down Main street the procession moved between masses of people, all uncovered. Tue hign winds from off Lake Erie snapped and flapped the bunting aud crepe with winch every building was draped.

Hearse Arrives at Depot- The hearse stopped in front of the baggage entrance to the depot. As the undertaker took Hold of the door ot tue hearse to open it and the soldier bearers prepared to draw the coffin out, a hu>u fell on the mu.tiruik*. Then from tne head of the column came the mournful eound of “Long Roil.” As it ceased there arose clear and sweet from the bugle notes “Nearer, Mv God to Thee.” The .soldiers bore tiie fl ;g covered casket on their shoulders aud moved io- ward the train a» the band took up tue air of the grand old hymn, “O, God, Our Help In Ages Past.” On tae curbstone stood President Roosevelt, with Senator Hawie.y. The former had refused the advice oi the po lice to move into the depot yard ana wkh i is hat in his hand he stood si lent Iv watching the body being re moved.

Mrs. McKinley aud t-he other mem ber# of the family entered their car half an hour before the body arrived. The journey down in the carnage, from the windows of whioh she could see the emblems iff mourning, affected Mrs. McKinley seriously, aud when she stepped from the carriage, ns-dsted bv Dr. Rixey and Abner McKinley, her limb# failed her and sue would have fallen but for the support accorded her.
