Old Glory to Again Float at Full Mast
Thirty Days’ Period of Mourning for President McKinley Expires with To-Day
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—The thirty
days’ period of mourning prescribed by President Roosevelt in respect to the
memory of the late President McKinley will expire to-morrow, and the flags on
all the Government buildings, which have been half-masted since the 14th of
September, will be displayed again at full-mast, beginning Monday morning.
With the exception of the State Department the
use of black-bordered mourning paper in official correspondence will be discontinued
in all the executive departments after to-day. By the special order issued by
the Secretary of State the diplomatic and consular officers of the United States,
as well as the officers of the State Department, will continue the usual symbols
of public mourning for thirty days longer.
