the same honesty of purpose which he always accorded to them. He
was the President of the whole people, and was received by them
as such with the honors due his great office and his splendid
manhood, from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Lakes to
the Gulf. Pure of life, lofty of purpose, and patriotic in every
endeavor, he was the highest type of our American citizenship.

The prayers of an united people were wafted on high to spare our
President, but "God's will, not ours" was done, and the pain of
personal grief was felt in every American home.

_Resolved by the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Commission_,

First. That in the death of President McKinley, the United
States have lost a President who fulfilled the best ideals of
the Republic.

Second. That in every walk of life, in peace and in war, in
private and in public station, he was faithful to every trust
and did his duty as God gave him light to see it.

Third. That these resolutions be spread upon our record and a
copy thereof sent, with an expression of our tenderest sympathy,
to Mrs. McKinley.


Certain rules and regulations governing foreign exhibitors, which had
been formulated by President Carter of the Commission and President
Francis of the Exposition Company at a meeting held in Chicago, Ill., on
