DEATH HAS CLAIMED OUR PRESIDENT.
McKinley Succumbed to Effects of Assassin's Bullet at 2:15 a. m.
UNCONSCIOUS FOR HOURS.
Last Conscious Moments Spent With Devoted Wife, Whom He Tried to Comfort and Console.
His Last Words Were "Goodbye All; Goodbye. It is God's Way, His Will Be Done."—Went Into Last Stupor Calmly and Submissively, Fully Aware That It Was the End, and Murmuring the Words of the Hymn, "Nearer, My God, to Thee."—Was Practically Dead Several Hours Before End Came, Being Sustained By Oxygen—Pathetic Scene As Relatives and Friends Took Their Last Farewell of the Martyr—Mrs. McKinley Bears Up Bravely and Shows Remarkable Fortitude—Remains Will Be Taken to Washington.
BUFFALO, Sept. 14.—President McKinley died at 2:15 a. m.
He had been unconscious since 7:50 p. m.
His last conscious hour on earth was spent with the wife to whom he devoted a lifetime of care.
He died unattended by a minister of the gospel but his last words were an humble submission to the will of God in whom he believed.
He was reconciled to the cruel fate to which an assassin's bullet had condemned him and faced death in the same spirit of calmness and poise which has marked his long and honorable 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 is God's way. His will be done."
His relatives and the members of his official family who were at the house, except Secretary Wilson who did not avail himself of the opportunity, and some of his personal and political friends took leave of him.
The painful ceremony was simple. His friends came to the door of the sickroom, 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 consciousness for his final parting with his wife.
He asked for her, 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 same bravery and fortitude with which she has borne the grief of the tragedy which ended his life.
The immediate cause of the president's death is undetermined. His physicians disagree and it will possibly require an autopsy to finally fix the exact cause.
The president's remains will be taken to Washington and there will be a state funeral.
Vice President Roosevelt, who now succeeds to the presidency, may take the oath of office wherever he happens to hear the news.
The cabinet will, of course, resign in a body and President Roosevelt will have an opportunity of forming a new cabinet if he so desires.
Probable Autopsy.
It is almost certain that an autopsy on the president's body will be held to determine the exact cause of death. This is the wish of all the surgeons and physicians who are in attendance. The peculiar action of the president's heart was more or less of a puzzle to them all and Dr. McBurney expressed the opinion that in the interest of science as well as in the interest of the government and the world it would be desirable that the exact cause of death be determined.
Though the president's heart gave trouble from the beginning, its erratic action was at first thought to be due to the shock of the wound, but when the wound had begun to progress favorably the heart gave more trouble and anxiety than ever. Its action became feeble and finally gave out altogether.
The president's death was practically due to heart exhaustion but some of the physicians do not believe there was organic heart trouble. The theory of at least one of the physicians is that the original shock of the first bullet over the heart had much to do with the trouble which caused death.
Before 6 o'clock it was clear to those at the president's bedside that he was dying and preparations were made for the last sad offices of farewell from those who were nearest and dearest to him. Oxygen had been administered steadily but with little effect in keeping back the approach of death. The 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 downstairs. With tear-stained faces, members of the cabinet were grouped in anxious waiting. They knew the end was near and that the time had come when they must see him for the last time on earth. This was about 6 o'clock. It was an awful moment for them.
One by one they ascended the stairway—Secretary Root, Secretary Hitchcock and Attorney-General Knox. Secretary Wilson also was there but he held back, not wishing to see the president in his last agony. There was only a momentary stay of the cabinet officers at the threshold of the death chamber. Then they withdrew, the tears streaming down their faces and the words of intense grief choking in their throats.
Last Meeting With Wife.
After they left the sick room the physicians rallied him to consciousness and the president asked almost immediately that his wife be brought to him. The doctors fell back into the shadows of the room as Mrs. McKinley came through the doorway.
The strong face of the dying man lighted up with a faint smile as their hands were clasped. She sat beside him and held his hand. Despite her physical weakness she bore up bravely under the ordeal.
The president in his last period of consciousness, which ended about 7:40 o'clock chanted the words of the beautiful hymn, "Nearer, My God, to Thee," and his last audible conscious words as taken down by Dr. Mann at the bedside were: "Good bye all. Good bye. It is God's way. His will be done."
Asked to Be Allowed to Die.
Then his mind began to wander and soon afterward he completely lost consciousness. His life was prolonged for hours by the administration of oxygen and the president finally expressed a desire to be allowed to die.
About 8:30 the administration of oxygen ceased and the pulse grew faint, very faint. He was sinking gradually like a child into eternal slumber. By 10 o'clock the pulse could no longer be felt in his extremities and they grew cold. Below stairs the grief-stricken gathering waited sadly for the end.
All the evening those who had hastened here fast as steel and steam could carry them, continued to arrive. They drove up in carriages at a gallop or were whisked up in automobiles all intent upon getting up before death came. One of the last to arrive was Attorney-General Knox who reached the house at 9:30 p. m. He was permitted to go up stairs to look for the last time upon the face of his friend. Those in the house at this time were Secretaries Hitchcock, Wilson, and Root, Senators Fairbanks, Hanna and Burrows, Judge Day, Colonel Herrick, Abner McKinley, the president's brother and his wife, Dr. and Mrs. Baer, the president's niece and her husband, Mrs. Barber and Mrs. Duncan, the president's sisters, Miss Mary Barber, Miss Mary McWilliams, Mrs. McKinley's cousin; the physicians, including Dr. McBurney who arrived after 8 o'clock, John G. Milburn, John N. Scatcherd, Harry Hamlin, all of this city, Secretary Cortelyou and a number of others.
Rev. C. D. Wilson, a Methodist minister of Tonawanda, N. Y., who was the president's pastor for three years at Canton, O., called at the residence to inquire whether his services were needed but did not enter the house. Another Methodist minister who has a church near by remained at the Milburn residence for two hours in the belief that his services might be desired. At 9:37 Secretary Cortelyou, who had been much of the time with his dying chief, sent out formal notification that the president was dying. But the president lingered on, his pulse growing fainter and fainter.
There was no need for official bulletins after this. Those who came from the house at intervals told the same story—that the president was dying and that the end might come at any time. His tremendous vitality was the only remaining factor in the result, and this gave hope only of brief postponement of the end. Dr. Mynter thought he might last until 2 a. m.
House Surrounded by Watchers.
The house was surrounded by a great crowd of watchers. The entire lower part of the house was aglow with light, and the many attendants, friends and relatives could be seen within, moving about and occasionally coming in groups to the front doorway for a breath of air. In the upper front chambers the lights were low, and around on the north side where the chamber of death is located, there were fitful lights, sometimes becoming bright and then turned low.
Secretary Root and Secretary Wilson came from the house about midnight and paced up and down the sidewalk. All that Secretary Root said was: "The end has not come yet."
Despite the fact that vitality continued to ebb as midnight approached, no efforts were spared to keep the spark of life glowing. Dr. Janeway of New York city arrived at the Buffalo depot at 11:40 o'clock. George Urban was waiting for him and they drove at a breakneck pace to the Milburn house. He was shown to the president's room at once and began an examination of the almost inanimate form.
Secretary of the Navy Long arrived at the Milburn house at 12:06 o'clock. This was his first visit to the city and he had the extreme satisfaction of seeing the president alive, even though he was not conscious of his visitor's presence. Secretary Long was visibly affected.
Vice President Roosevelt had been notified early in the day of the critical state of affairs and word had come from him that he was on his way in a special train. There was no longer a doubt that in the approaching death of the president a complete change in the executive administration of the government would ensue. When Mr. Roosevelt would take the oath of office was wholly a matter of conjecture.
President Arthur took the oath at 2 a. m. after the death of Garfield and in that case Justice Brady of New York administered the oath. There is no requirement that the oath shall he administered by a justice of the United States supreme court, although that procedure is adopted when circumstances permit.
Without unseemly haste the members of the cabinet will tender their resignations and the new president will then be free to initiate his own policy and choose his own cabinet.
Shortly after midnight the president's breathing was barely perceptible. His pulse had practically ceased and the extremities were cold. It was recognized that nothing remained but the last struggle and some of the friends of the family who had remained through the day began to leave the house, not caring to be present at the final scene.
Such an intense state of anxiety existed among the watchers that rumors gained frequent circulation that death had already actually occurred. The arrival of the coroner gave rise to one such rumor and a flood of groundless dispatches were sent saying that the end had come. These were speedily set at rest by an official statement from within the house that the reports of death were groundless and that the president still lived.
Coroner Wilson said that he had been ordered by the district attorney of the county to go to the Milburn residence as soon as possible after the announcement that the president died at 11:06 p. m., and had hurried up so that there would be no delay in removing the body.
PAN-AMERICAN CLOSED.
Till After Monday as a Mark of Respect for the Deceased.
BUFFALO, Sept. 14.—The Pan-American is closed today and will remain so until Monday out of respect to the memory of the late martyred President. Today was to have been Railroad Day, Indiana Day and Vassar college day at the exposition. All have necessarily been postponed. Today was to have been one of the greatest days of the fair. Sept. 28 has been fixed as the postponed date.

CAUSE OF DEATH.
Physicians Say Due to Toxaemia in the Abdominal Cavity.
BUFFALO, Sept. 14.—Dr. Wasdin came out of the Milburn house at about 2:15 this afternoon. He stated that an autopsy upon the body of the president had been performed, but that the bullet had not been found. He announced that death was due to toxaemia in the abdominal cavity.

A PROCLAMATION.
Mayor Brown Requests Flags at Half Mast and Mourning Emblems.
On account of the sad and tragic death of William McKinley, president of the United States, and as a mark of our high appreciation of his sterling character, and his devoted National services as well as a tribute of what his life and work have done to shed new glory on the American home, on American patriotism and American statesmanship, I request that all our citizens unitedly join in giving expression to their heartfelt sorrow, by the fitting decoration of their business buildings, and their homes, by hanging the Stars and Stripes at half mast, until after the last funeral rites shall have been observed, and by closing all the factories, schools, and places of business throughout the city during the time of the observance of the funeral services of our third martyr President.

PAGE FOUR—EDITORIALS.
William McKinley.
The seeming assurance of the president's speedy recovery, which had been made stronger by each succeeding bulletin from his sick room, was rudely shattered by the news of yesterday morning. The nation realized at once and all too fully that the fighting chance for his life which was said still to remain was only a forlorn hope. And the tolling of the bells which announced his death simply ended the waiting for an event, the coming of which had been regarded as only a question of hours.
But feared and dreaded as that event had been during the week preceding, and certain as it had seemed through all of yesterday, the blow when it fell was none the less heavy, the grief none the less intense, than if death had followed at once upon the firing of the fatal bullets. Rather was the weight of loss and sorrow made greater by the events of the intervening days. The people at large, personal friends as well as political foes, had come to know William McKinley as they had never known him before. The kindly and forgiving spirit, the simple modesty and uncomplaining patience, the manly fortitude, the sincere religious faith and the Christian resignation of the man, shed a greater luster about him than that which any earthly office or place could give, and made his character shine far more splendidly than all of his brilliant achievements.
It was a strange fate which decreed that the three most gentle and sympathetic, most peace loving and forgiving, most tender hearted and kindly spirited, and at the same time three of the bravest of American presidents, should be sent down to death by the assassin's bullet. No more courageous man than Abraham Lincoln ever lived. Garfield and McKinley had worn the nation's uniform and faced bullet and ball on the field of battle. Such a death for such men seems like the very irony of fate.
The manlier qualities as well as the more lovable were combined in William McKinley. Great ability, sound judgment, inflexible determination when sure he was right, keen perception, persistency and firmness all were there, and were as thoroughly characteristic of him as were his genial and courteous manners and his unvarying thoughtfulness and kindness.
William McKinley's public career was as splendid and successful as his private life was pure and gentle. From a beardless stripling in the ranks he rose to be a major in the [civil] war of the Rebellion. From prosecuting attorney of his county he rose to be governor and president. He championed an industrial policy which has made his native land the envy and the wonder of the world. He carried the nation successfully through a great war, or rather through two wars, and saw peace at last assured, our territory vastly increased and every branch of trade and industry throbbing with a life and prosperity such as had never before been known.
He was at the summit of his greatness and his popularity. He had won golden opinions from all sorts of people. He had served his country as it has been given to few men to serve her. Yet all he had done for himself and for her did not become him more than the manner in which he laid life aside when the final summons came and he said to the wife whom be had loved and cherished for so many years: "God's will, not ours, be done."
His life was gentle, and the elements so mixed in him, that nature might stand up and say to all the world, This was a Man.
President Roosevelt.
A different type of man in some respects from William McKinley will now be the nation's chief executive. But he is one who has proven his courage, his patriotism, his moral and intellectual fiber and his brilliant talents in the stress of war as well as in the field of letters and civic life. He will accept the great burdens which he must now assume with a profound sense of duty and of responsibility. He has never yet flinched or failed. We believe that his immense energy and endurance will be found equal to every task, and that he will devote himself to the work which now falls to him with an inflexible determination to do the right thing at all times, and to merit the approval of the great nation of which he is now to be the head. That he may discharge the duties of his high office with conspicuous success will be the wish and prayer of every patriotic American.
TOILING OUT THE NEWS.
Fifty-eight Taps of the Fire Bell Tell of the Death of the President.
The news of the president's death came over the wires to Cortland soon after 2:15 o'clock this morning. Chief H. P. Davis and Superintendent Jas. F. Costello of the fire department had waited till nearly that time before leaving the Western Union office, in order that the news might be given by tolling the fire bell. They had left for their homes, however, before the news came, but were telephoned to and immediately returned. The false reports of the president's death, at two different times before, led them to take every means possible to ascertain whether or not the news was authentic. It was indeed too true and at 3:20 o'clock Superintendent Costello began to toll the bell, thus proclaiming to the sleeping city the sad intelligence. Fifty-eight taps were sounded to correspond to the age of the president.
The tones of the bell sounded strangely sorrowful as they fell upon the still night air. No one was alarmed at the thought of fire, for all understood the message it carried, and it touched a tender and responsive chord in the hearts of the people of Cortland.
CITY TAX SALES.
Real Estate Sold by the City Chamberlain for Payment of Taxes.
City Chamberlain G. J. Maycumber made six sales of city property today at the courthouse for unpaid taxes. Half of the sales were made for just the amount of the taxes and expenses, while the other three went for considerable more. Seven parcels were advertised, but the one on Hamlin-st., owned by J. E. Winslow, was settled for by the payment of the amount upon it before the sale took place.
The other six parcels were sold as follows:
Madison-st., six vacant lots assessed to George Baxter, amount of taxes, etc., $81.33. Sold to Eugene Calkins for $81.33.
East-ave. house and lot assessed to Wm. Daniels. Amount of taxes, etc., $33.98. Sold to Hector Cowan for $200.
Evergreen-st., house and lot assessed to Mary A. Knapp. Amount of taxes, etc., $22.91. Sold to Dr. E. M. Santee for $22. 91.

Floral-ave., house and lot assessed to J. G. Ford. Amount of taxes, etc., $22.27. Sold to Jennie A. Kinney for $42.

THE BOARD OF HEALTH
Entertained by Commissioner Santee at His Little York Cottage.
The board of health, including Mayor Chas P. Brown, chairman of the board, Dr. Paul T. Carpenter, city physician, and Commissioners W. A. Stockwell, Fred Ryan, H. L. Bliss, Geo. T. Chatterton, and Dr. C. D. VerNooy,, with City Clerk Fred Hatch and a STANDARD representative went to Little York last evening upon invitation of Dr. E. M. Santee, the member of the board from the Second ward, to spend the evening at his cottage at the lake. The party left Cortland at about 6:30. P. M., in Liveryman F. H. Maricle's new tourist wagon, drawn by a lively span of bays.
At the cottage a hearty welcome awaited the party from the hospitable host and hostess, who made all members of the company feel perfectly at home at the well furnished and equipped summer home. Trilby, the bouncing big St. Bernard, went down the line with a greeting for each that increased in enthusiasm as she neared the end. Unfortunately for him, Commissioner Bliss was the end man, and the greeting he received nearly knocked the official over the bank and down into the lake below. All through the evening after that experience, when the 160 pounds of dog flesh went bounding toward the commissioner from the Fourth ward, the nearest tree was used by the thoroughly frightened upholder of the health code as an anchoring post.
After each member of the party had received a cordial welcome, the doctor announced that his yacht was ready for a spin around the lake, and the gentlemen began to seat themselves in it for the ride, till only two, Mayor Brown and Clerk Hatch, were left on the dock. The mayor cast a critical glance at the boat, sizing it up from stem to stern. His eyes then wandered out over the glassy surface of the lake, and an ashy pallor was seen to spread over his countenance.
"Come on," said Dr. Santee encouragingly. "The boat will carry twenty easily."
The mayor, however, was not willing to chance the deep, and he brightened a trifle as he said something about it being necessary for him to remain safely on land so that in case everything did not go well with the voyagers he could organize another board of health. Clerk Hatch choked a little and said that he presumed the mayor would not like to be left alone, and that he would stay with him. At no time, however, was he within two shades of being as white from fright as was Mayor Brown. The yacht plowed out into the lake leaving the only two Baptists of the party on dry dock.
The trip was a very pleasant one and those who took it believe that the doctor's equipment for entertaining is complete.
After the trip on the lake the gentlemen were escorted to the diningroom [sic], where a delicious repast was served by Mrs. Santee. Fried mountain oysters, prepared in a most appetizing manner, disappeared before the members of the board, with first honors going, of course, to Dr. Carpenter.
While at the table, the sad news of the president's critical condition was received over the telephone line from Cortland, and this spread a gloom and sorrow over the party, as was manifested by the moist eyes that resulted from the news. The return trip was begun soon after the report was received. A vote of thanks was given both Dr. and Mrs. Santee for the very enjoyable evening that was afforded.

A Cottage Social.
A cottage social will be held at Mr. A. Sager's, 22 Lincoln-ave., Monday evening Sept. 10, under the auspices of the Epworth league of the Homer-ave. M. E. church. A silver collection will be taken. Mr. Curtis G. Morse of Boston has kindly consented to be present and a short program will be given.
Death of J. D. Call, Jr.
Joel Dwight Call, Jr., died at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Call, 138 Main-st., at 6:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon, from heart trouble, aged 22 years, 9 months and 5 days.
It will be remembered that on July 16 last Mr. Call received a very severe shock from live wires on the Brunswick hotel, while saving his employer, George H. Gleason, from what, without his help, must have been death. Since that time he has not been well, and it is thought that he suffered more from this shock than was at the time generally supposed. His death is a shock to a large number who knew him and particularly to his mother, who has been ill for many months.
The funeral will be held at the house Monday at 2 o clock.

GRAND UNCLE WAS MURDERED.
William McKinley the Elder in County Down, Ireland, in 1798.
Mr. M. F. Cleary calls our attention to the fact that 103 years ago this month, in 1798, William McKinley, grand uncle of William McKinley, the late president of the United States, himself an Irish patriot of the Presbyterian faith and a defender of his native land against the tyranny of England, was seized by a murderous band and hurried away and put to death in his own county of Down, Ireland. The murderers claimed to be acting for the government and considered McKinley a rebel, but he was a patriot and a lover of his country. He was finally buried in the old cemetery of the county Down. Mrs. Cleary's ancestors came from that same country.
