His relatives and members of the of-i
al family who were at the Milburn
house, except Secretary Wilson, whc‘
did not avail himself of the opportun
ity, and some of his personal and po
litical friends, took leave of him. This
painfui ceremony was simple. His
friends came to the door cof the sick

and turned tearfully away. He wal%

which has ended his life,
The immediate cause of the presi
dent's death is undetermined. His
physicians disagree, and it will possi
bly require an autopsy to fix the exact
cause. The president’s remains will
pe taken to Washington, and -there
vsill be a state funeral. Vice President
Roosevelt, who now succeeds to the
presidency, may take the oath of of
tice wherever he happens to hear the
news. The cabinet will, of course, re
sign in a body, and President Roos
velt will have an opportunity of form
ing a new cabinet if he so desires.
APPROACH OF DISSOLUTION.
It was shortly after 2 o’clock Friday
morning tuat the physicians and
nurses noticed weakening heart ac
tion. The pulge fluttered and weaken
ad and the president sank toward col
lapse. Tke end appeared to be a
hand. Reatoratives were speedily ap
plied and the physicians fought the
attle with all the reserve forces of
fence. Action was not immediate
nd decisive. Digitalis and strychnine
were administered, and as a last re
rt a saline solution was injected into
the veins. : g

The Buffalo papers all had extras
with the sad intelligence of the presi
ient’s relapse on the streets at day
ight. Omne paper announced that the
yresident was dying. The result was
hat the whole city was thoroughly
wroused and alarmed early, and before
! o'clock crowds of people flocked in
he direction or the Milburn residence
o learn if the latest news was not
aore reagssuring. Many of them re
‘uged to credit the news of the presi
lent’'s sudden change for the worse
int# they had learned by word ol
mouth from the sentries of the presi
lent’s dangerous and critical condi
ion.
Of all the sad household only the
wife did not know the truth. She gur
mised that Mr. McKinley was worse
‘or she wag told it would be bette:
‘or her not to enter the sick chamber
She assented, but it was with a look
»f mute appeal in her eyes.
The president himself geemed tc
realize that his life hung by a thread
Dr. W. W. Johnston, of Washington
wind Dr. Janeway, of New York, two o!
the most eminent specialists in the
United States, were summoned to lend
their skill and counsel, and Dr. Mc
Burney, the noted surgeon, who lef:
Thursday, was recalled.
Vice President Roosevelt and the ab
sent members of the cabinet were alsc
telegraphd for.
Shortly after 10 o’eclock the intimate
friends and relatives of the presiden!
who were telegraphed for hegan ft«
arrive.
Bulleting issued at frequent inter
valg during the day gave but little
encouragement, and before € o’cloek
it was clear to those at the president’s
bedside that he was dying, and prep
arations were made for the last sac
flices of farewell from those who were
nearest and dearest to him.
Oxygen had been administered stea
dily, but with little effect in keeping
back the approach of death. The
ipresident came out of one period of
unconsciousness only to relapse Intc
nother. But in this period, when hir
mind was partially clear, occurred #
series of events of a profoundly touch

He was practically unconscious dur
ing this time. But the powerful heart
stimulants, including oxygen, were em
ployed to restore him to consciousness
tor his final parting with his wife. He'"
asked for her and she sat at his side
and held bis hand. He consoled her
and bade her goodby. She went
through the heart-trying scene with
he same bravery and fortitude with
which she has borne the grief of the
tragedy which ended his life. o
At 9:37 Secretary Cortelyou, who
nad been much of the time with his
lying chief, sent out formal notifica
zion that the president was dying.
Jut the president lingered on, hig
oulse growing fainter and fainter.
There was no need for official bulle
+ins after this., Those who came from
the house at intervals told the same
story—that the preeident 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 post
ponement of the end, which finally
came at 2:15 o’clock Saturday monfff
