The German Emperor to the Secretary of State of the United States.

[Telegram.]

Danzig, September 14, 1901.

Deeply affected by the news of the untimely death of President’ McKinley, I hasten to express the deepest and most heartfelt sympathy of the German nation. Germany mourns with America for her noble son who lost his life whilst he was fulfilling his duty to his country and his people.

William, I. R.
