President Elect Arrived There
at This Morning.

Canton. o., Dec. 16.-In order to join
his wife and ir measure for rest.
Major Mckinley left Canton at 9:27 this
evening. to spend a week in Chicago.
The Pennsylvania company put a
private car at his disposal. He was
accompanied by Charles G.. Dawes of
Chicago, Captain H O. Heistand, his
acting confidential secretary, and by
correspondents of the United ASsoci-
ated Presses and several important
journals.
Major Mckinley expects to reach
Chicago about o'clock Thursday
morning. and will go at once to the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Lafayette
MacWilliams. where his wife is stay
ing. Major Mckinley will probably re-
main in Chicago until next Wednesday
night, and he may return by way of
Cleveland. stopping for night with
some of his friends there. This is the
second time since his nomination that
Major Mckinley has left Canton. The
other occasion was his visit to Cleve-
land at the time of the Centennial
celebration in that city, July last.
Major McKinley's health is sound. but
he feels the need of some rest and
recreation. His toll for six months
has been incessant. and judged by
ordinary standards. excessive.
The cabinet will be discussed in Chi
cago.
THE Wisconsin situation" said John
Hicks of Oshkosh, ex-minister to Peru.
who was here to see Major Mckinley
today, will, of course. be talked about
some while Major Mckinley is in Chi
cago. Wisconsin is not remote. and
some of our people will want to say
a ward about Mr. Payne, or ex-Gover-
nor Hoard who are the cabinet posi-
bilities in Wisconsin. Mr.. Payne is the
choice of a large number of people who
are active in politics. and Ex-Governor
Hoard is strong with the farmers.
They would like TO see him made sec
rotary of agriculture.
Among the callers at Mr.. McKinley's
residence today We're L. S. Manning.

Springfield. o.; General H. Richardson,
of Chippewa Falls, Wis.
Major Mckinley is giving all the
time left him by callers to the consider
alton of his cabinet. He has not COM
menced even to think about his in
augural address and has no intention
of setting to work on it before Feb
ruary.s

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 5000
AFTERMATH OF !
THE COUGHL|N EXECUTION 5;
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Those who have witnessed executions in
Utah never saw one carried out with
more precision than that OF Patrick
Coughlin on Tuesday. There was not a
hitch in the proceedings from the time
the plans were laid by Sheriff Dickson and
Bob Caiverly, of Evanston. until they
were consummated, when at the signal
gwen, the contents of four Winchester
rines poured into the heart of the victim
1t was decided to shoot him in Sage Hol-
low. because that was a secluded spot
where no great crowd would ac-
e Gu and indeed it proved
could have been found in the
vicinity. Sage Hollow is about three miles
from Woodruff. direct. although in order
10 get the eXecutioners into the tent
where they would not be seen Calverly
caused the reporters to be driven TO the
place by a round about trail while he
crossed low divide in a smaller wagon.
Bob didn't fool any one in particular. be-
cause when the press boys arrived it was
noted that several familiar faces. which
had been noted the evening before. were
not there when the shooting was done.
By the way the shooting was all right
The target, a tracing of which is here
with appended, shows this. Some may
say 1t was poor shooting because every
bullet did not find a lodging place in the
diamond in the center. But it must be
remembered that mans heart is a COM
paratively large object. Every shot fired
struck Coughiin in the heart
Death was announced in four minutes
DR.. Hooker, of Evanston, agreed with
DR.. Lee, of Randolph. in this matter. al
though the former stated Tuesday night
that he agreed with his colleague in order
TO not conflict and displease the general
public. He declared Coughlin did not
suffer an instant. However the medical
men may assert as to minutes. layman's
judgment is that death was as swift as
if a bolt of lightning had struck him.

DUCKS AND DEER.

Hilarious Time.

Georgetown, S. c., Dec. 1.-THE gov
eminent launch Water Lily came up to
the city this evening. reaching here
patches from the presidential party. The
president IS in good health. deer drive

broke camp this afternoon and embark
ing on the Water Lily came from the
Santee through the Mosquito Creek
canal 10 the lighthouse tender W;staria,
which was anchored in Winyah bay, near
South Island. After receiving the party
and taking on board the baggage and
bags of game. the Wistaria steamed
over to Muddy bay, where she lies to-
night. about mile distant from the
Annadale Club lodge.
President Cleveland and his COM
panions will go ducking in the marshes
tomorrow morning. and if the weather
IS as cold and windy as IL has been to-
day they will have fine sport
The president and party viii remain
at Friends Field until Saturday, going
ducking each morning, and as an invita-
ton has been extended them by the
Donaldson Brothers for deer drive on
their lands. 1t IS probable that they may
yet have the pleasure of adding q buck
or two 10 their list of game.
Mayor Morgan received an acknowl-
edgnent from President Cleveland this
evening of the invitation and resolutions
extended by the city council and citizens
to attend a reception here as he masses
through on his return to Washington, in
which he states that his plans are not
definitely formed. but that he will answer
definitely in a day or two.

surrounded in mystery. The body is

not shown, and also the alleged writ
ten statements of Gomez son. 1t is
also significant that no Cubans have
surrendered since the leaders alleged
death, proving either that it Will not
affect the revolution, or that Maceo is
not dead. Many rumors are afioat in
connection with Maceo's death, and
all are confusing. One is that a ma
Jor at CabezZas, MatanZas. telegraphed
that Maceo passed near the town with
large force. Many couI-ierS have been
sent to investigate, but have not re-
turned. The Cubans disbelieve the
story that MaceO was killed by treach-
cry. They say Maceo was not easily
trapped, and would not accept a flag
OF truce even from Ahumada. The ma
rine authorities are indignant at Wey-
ler's statement that Maceo crossed the
trocha in boat, and it is said have
cabled to Spain protesting. The min
