M'KINLEY'S VACATION.
Will Not be Taken Just Yet Though
it Would be Welcome.

canton o., July S-Letters cont1n-
ued to come in this morning from points
along the New York Central and BOs-
ton and Albany railroads making in
quiries as to the time Maj. Mckinley
will pass along these lines on his way
to Boston and ROXbury, Mass, for a
vacation and rest.
AS said in these. dispatches Maj. Nc
Kinley felt compelled to abandon the
idea of enjoying the pleasure of such a
visit which his friends have been ad-
vising him to take.
Despite the stirring times through
which he has passed. he looked more
cheerful and in better health this
morning than for many months.
When asked what authority there
was for the revival of the story that
he would visit Roxbury, he replied that
no matter how much pleasure it would
have given him to have been able to
take such a trip, his determination of
last week had not been changed.

Atchison Champion Rep): Those
who are denouncing Senator Teller and
those who followed him out of the St.
Louis convention are not injuring Mr..
Teller or his friends, but they rather
serve to invite severe criticism of the
critics themselves. The ill treatment
given the friends Of silver was not the
voice of the people of the western. cen
tral or southern states. That foolish
and unwarranted attack upon the sill
yer dollar did not come from the homes
of the land, but from the counting

cause it Can't Increase Fixed
CHARGES.

It is stated that one reason why the
AtchiSOn hesitates about buying the
Atlantic & Pacific is that the former
road cannot afford to increase its fixed
charges. This assumes, OF course, that
the Atlantic & Pacific can earn only
enough to pay taxes and can contri b.
ute nothing TO the payment of interest
on the bonds which might have to be
issued for purchase.

ample. in new Atchison As, besides pre-
ferred stock, which might be given, the
fixed charges would be increased by
$500, 900. AS the Atchison is not now
earning much more than the fixed
charges under the new plan, an in
crease like this might prove embar-

SPECTER FROM THE DEEP.
British Bark Long Since Given Up

specter from the deep arose in the noon
report from Cape Flattery, which
brought the first tidings of the Brit

Donald, which had long ago been given
up for lost.
One hundred and seventy-one days
ago the CambusdoOn sailed from Java,
bound for British Columbia to load,
and from that time until this nothing
has been heard from her. Seventy
guineas had been offered in reinsur-
ance on the vessel. She will probably
so in to Victoria.
