ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE,

Washington, March 14, 1901.

I..The following proclamation has been received from the President:

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

A Proclamation.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, Washington, March 14, 1901.

To the People of the United States:

BENJAMIN HARRISON, President of the United States from 1889 to 1893, died yesterday at 4.45 p. m., at his home in Indianapolis. In his death the country has been deprived of one of its greatest citizens. A brilliant soldier in his young manhood, he gained fame and rapid advancement by his energy and valor. As a lawyer he rose to be a leader of the bar. In the Senate he at once took and retained high rank as an orator and legislator, and in the high office of President he displayed extraordinary gifts as administrator and statesman. In public and in private life he set a shining example for his countrymen.

In testimony of the respect in which his memory is held by the Government and people of the United States, I do hereby direct that the flags on the Executive Mansion and the several Departmental buildings be displayed at half staff for a period of thirty days; and that suitable military and naval honors, under the orders of the Secretaries of War and of the Navy, be rendered on the day of the funeral.

Done in the City of Washington this 14th day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and one, and of the in[SEAL.] dependence of the United States of America the one hundred and twenty-fifth.

By the President:

JOHN HAY,

WILLIAM MCKINLEY.

Secretary of State.

II. On the day of the funeral at each military post the national flag will be displayed at half staff and the troops and cadets will be paraded and this order read to them. At dawn of day thirteen guns will be fired, and afterwards at intervals of thirty minutes between the rising and setting of the sun, and at the close of the day a salute of forty-five guns.
