Statesman, yet friend to truth, of soul sincere ; GROVER CLEVELAND is buried in the Princeton Cemetery, Princeton, New Jersey, in a family plot, a short distance from the main entrance. No monument or memorial has yet been erected (1910). WILLIAM MCKINLEY. On September 18, 1901, the body of Mr. McKinley was temporarily placed in the receiving vault of the Westlawn Cemetery, Canton, Ohio. The McKinley National Memorial Association was organized shortly after the death of the President, for the designing and the construction of a Memorial, which Memorial, with its landscape setting, was entrusted to Mr. Harold Van Buren Magonigle, an architect of New York City. The cost of the Memorial (including twenty-six acres of land), approximated $525,000 through voluntary contribution, chiefly in small amounts. In addition, a large endowment fund was donated to insure its constant care and protection. The ground plan of the purchase suggests the shape of a cross, with the Mausoleum at the intersection of the principal axis. The southerly arm of the cross is formed by a single approaching road from Linden Avenue to the foot of a basin of fresh water (or lagoon) 540 feet long and 50 feet wide at the lower end, widening to 80 feet at the upper end, and flanked by long rows of trees. At the foot of this lakelet the single approach divides into two roadways, continuing up the sides of the lagoon, leading into an oblong plaza at the base of "Monument Hill." From the plaza at the base rises the principal flight of steps, 50 feet wide and 194 feet long, broken by a pedestal supporting a bronze statue of Mr. McKinley. It was designed by Mr. Charles Henry Niehaus, of New York City, who has depicted the President as he made his last public speech, just prior to the assassination at Buffalo, a pose familiar to all citizens, and adapted from a photograph taken while he was making the address. The sculptor has substituted a chair of State (over which the folds of an American flag appears), in lieu of the balcony shown in the photograph. The Mausoleum, which is a circular domed structure 98 feet 6 inches in height, and 78 feet 9 inches in diameter, stands at the head of the flight of steps on an eminence of about 70 feet, known as "Monument Hill." The exterior has a band above the base, enriched with flat, projecting panels, a plain shaft above, and an entablature near the top, the frieze of which is decorated with votive garlands. The top of the dome has an oculus, fifteen feet in diameter, that lights the interior. A flat pairlion is located on the entrance side of the building, and over the doorway of the entrance is placed a lunette executed by Mr. Niehaus, representing the victories of peace. The central figure of the lunette presents the Mother Republic on a classic seat extending with both hands ample protection for all that is worthy in peace and industry. On one side War is personified by an impetuous youth laying at her feet his sword and shield, covered with laurels of victory. Opposite to her, another youth of zealous aspect, typifying Industrial Prosperity, bringing to her the symbols of industry. These figures are placed in relief against a façade of interwoven laurel, the composition in all its detail suggesting the flowering and fruition of peace. Huge Doric columns are placed around the interior of the Mausoleum in such a manner as to appear half buried in the sides of the building. The floor is mosaic, marble having been brought from many states. In the center of the circular tomb, beneath the dome rising fifteen feet from the base (which rests on the main floor), are the sarcophagi, simple and plain. The caskets containing the bodies of Mr. McKinley and his wife are made of bronze. The feet of the sarcophagi are toward the door that opens into the Mausoleum. No artificial light is used, the sun rays coming in through the apertures of the dome alone dispel the darkness. On one sarcophagus, at the foot, is inscribed: WILLIAM MCKINLEY. On the other sarcophagus: IDA MCKINLEY. Within niches on the north side of the dome are placed the caskets containing the bodies of their two daughters, Ida and Mary, who died in infancy. Granite from Milford, Massachusetts, is used in the approach and in the Mausoleum proper; gray marble for the interior of the tomb, from Tennessee; dark green granite for the sarcophagi, from Windsor, Vermont; and black granite, from Berlin, Wisconsin, forms the base upon which the sarcophagi rest.

Le Gouvernement Espagnol renonce vis-à-vis du Gouvernement Britannique, à toute prétention de Souveraineté sur les territoires du continent de Borneo qui appartiennent, ou qui ont appartenu dans le passé, au Sultan de Sulu (Joló) y Comprises les îles voisines de Balambangan, Banguey, et Malawali, ainsi que toute celles comprises dans une zone de lieues maritimes le long des côtes, et qui font partie des territoires administrés par la Compagnie dite "British North Borneo Company." [TRANSLATION. The Spanish Government renounces in favor of the British Government all pretensions of sovereignty over all territories of Borneo's continent which belong or did belong in the past to the Sultan of Sulu (Joló), including the neighboring islands of Balambangan, Banguey, and Malawali, as well as all islands included in a zone of marine leagues alongside of the seashore, and which are a part of the territories managed by the said Company, "British North Borneo."] Under the above treaty, the Spanish-United States treaty of 1898, and the United States-Spanish treaty of 1900, the United States is clearly vested with sovereignty over ". . . all those islands," formerly belonging to Spain, not "comprised within a zone of three marine leagues along the coasts and which form part of the territories administered by the Company called the British North Borneo Company." Under these instruments the possessions of the United States start about one hundred nautical miles south of Sibuto or San Lucia Bay, where the SpanishDutch boundary makes the mainland and separates British North Borneo from Dutch (south) Borneo. Under a strict construction of the "three marine leagues" stipulation, the British North Borneo and United States line begins at Mount |
