But I am here to give the opinion which his friends entertained of President McKinley, of course claiming no Immunity from criticism In what I shall say. I believe, then, that the verdict of history will be that he met all these grave questions with perfect valor and Incomparable ability; that In grappling with them he rose to the full height of a great occasion, in a manner which redounded to the lasting benefit of the country and to his own immortal TO HAVE GIVEN A SWORD. Congress Bestows high Honor. At 17 years of age, William McKinley heard the summons of his country. He was the sort of youth to whom a military life in ordinary times would possesij no attractions. His nature was far different from that of the ordinary soldier. He had other dreams of life, its prizes and pleasures, than that of marches and battles. But to his mind there was no choice or question. The banner floating in the morning breeze was the beckoning gesture of his country. The thrilling notes of the trumpet called him—him and none other—Into the ranks. His portrait in his first uniform is familiar to you all —the short, stocky figure; the quiet, thoughtful lace; the deep, dark eyes. It is the face of a lad who could not( stay at home when he thought he was needed in the field. He was of the stuff of which good soldiers are made. Had he been ten years older he would have entered at the head of a company and come out at the head of a division. But he did what lie could. He enlisted as a private; he learned to obey. Hte serious, feasible ways, his prompt, alert efficiency soon attracted the attention of his superiors. He was so faithful in little things they gave him more and more to do. He was untiling in camp and oil the march; swift, cool and fearless in fight. He left the army with flehl rrtnk when the war ended, brevctted by President J.incoln for gallantry in battle.

SHUPP, OPTICIAN, A GREAT GATHERING Washington, Feb. 27.—There was another sensational turn in the Tillnmn- McLnuriu imbroglio yesterday, when Lieutenant lioveruor Till man of South Carolina, a nephew of Senator Tillman, sent a dispatch to President itoosevelt requesting the latter to withdraw his acceptance of an invitation which the lieutenant governor had extended to present a sword to Major Mieah Jenkins, who served with the rough riders during the Spanish war.

The least desirable form of glory to a man of his habitual mood and temper— that of successful war--was nevertheless conferred upon him by uncontrollable events.

'JT.— The members of both houses of Congress assembled in the hall of the House of Representatives today to hold a memorial service in honor of the late President. William McKinley. The hall was packed to the doors with*dlstinguished men. The speaker called the assemblage to order at five minutes before 12 o'clock. The galleries were a blaze of color, the costumes of the ladies Hashing brilliantly among the sombre garments of the men. When Prince Henry arrived, the Speaker and members arose as one man. The royal visitor was escorted down the center aisle by Representative Grosvenor and Senator Foraker, and the members remained standing until he was seated. William McKinley, one of tliat sensible million of men. gladly laid down his sword and betook himself to his books. He quickly made up the time lost in soldiering. He attacked Ills Ulackstone as lie would have done a hostile entrenchment; finding the range of a country law library too narrow, he went to the Albany law school, where he worked energetically with brilliant success; was admitted to the bar and settled down to practic—a brevetted veteran of 21—in the quiet town of Canton, now and henceforward fprever famous as the scene of his life and his place of sepulture. Here many blessings awaited him; high repute, professional success, and a domestic affection so pure, so devoted and stainless that future poets, seeking an ideal of Christian marriage. will find in it a theme worthy of their songs. This is a subject to which the lightest allusion "Seems profana« tion: but,it is impossible to speak of William McKinley without remembering that no truer, tenderer knight to Ins! chosen lady ever lived among mortal men. If to the spirits of the just made perfect is permitted the conbdmisness of earthly things, we may be sure that his faithful soul is now watching over that genUe sufferer who counts the long hours in their shattered home in the desolate splendor of his fame. In dealing with foreign powers, he will take rank with the greatest of our diplomatists. It was a world of which he had little spceial knowledge before coming to the Presidency. But Ills marvelous adaptability was in nothing more remarkable than In the firm grasp he Immediately displayed in international relations. In preparing for war and in the restoration of peace he was alike adroit, courteous, and far-sighted. When a sudden emergency declared itself, as in China, in a state of things of which our history furnished 110 precedent and international law 110 safe and certain precept, he hesitated not a momeht to take the course marked out for him by considerations of humanity and the national Interests. By patience, by firmness, by sheer reasonableness, lie improved our understanding with all the great- powers of the world, and lightly gained the blessing whiclA rightly belongs to the peacemakers.
