on the loss of our late beloved Queen and Empress, and the late President was swift to flash across the wires a message of sympathy to our King, who is now condoling with Mrs. MCKINLEY. Mere words are a poor vehicle with which to convey our grief and horror at a crime that has shocked the civilised world; but it will, I hope. be some comfort to the widow and some consolation to the people of the United States to know that wherever our common tongue is spoken, their mourning and regret are shared.
The Resolution was carried unanimously.
ADJOURNMENT.-The Council then adjourned till Thursday, the 26th day of September, 1901.
HENRY A. BLAKE,
Read and confirmed, this 26th day of September, 1901.
