The Cabinet will resign in'a-body, to give the new President an opportunity of forming

THE LATE PRESIDENT MCKINLEY.

The autopsy report on the body of the late President McKinley, saya that nothing could have availed against the gangrene which was found to have developed in the tissues along the track of the bullet which pierced both walls of the stomach, and tore the kidneys.
The body of the late President now lies in state at Washington, and will be interred at Canton, Ohio, on Thursday, which day has been proclaimed by President Roosevelt,' a day of mourning and prayer.
THE NEW PRESIDENT. President Roosevelt after taking the oath of office, declared that he would continue, President McKinley, which he said was for absolutely unbroken, the policy of the late the prosperity and honour of the country.

The New President. A deal of interest must naturally centre just now in Mr. RooseveLT, who, by the unfortunate death of President MCKINLEY at the hands of an assassin, has now suc- ceeded to the Presidency of the United States. Mr. ROOSEVELT has stated that he intends to continue, absolutely unbroken, "WHERE ARE THE POLICE," is the title the policy of his predecessor, as he con- of a pair of photographs which have been sent siders that that policy was conducive to the to us.

But and the constable standing afar off and care can he do so? That is a question which fully looking the other way. will puzzle the heads of politicians until such time as Mr. ROOSEVELT has proved his fitness or otherwise for the great task which he has undertaken.

When we think that the bullet of the miscreant for the third' time in the century has done its work and the latest president of the United States of America has fallen by the hands of the assassin; it would not be seemly for me, at this juncture, to say anything: in praise or disparagement of the late President's policy. The young man after his great services in the Civil War climbed along the path of fortune until he was chosen President of one of the
greatest nations on the earth and accepted the great responsibility. Like Lincoln he has. fallen after leading the nation safely through a great crisis. Nothing remains but to express our horror and "detestation of the crime, our sympathy with the nation, our condolences with Mrs. McKinley, and our admiration work faithfully performed.
