saw people gathered like that. He conse-
qucntly made brief address.

Kingston union station, four miles away.

CANTON, o., Aug ga thousand work
men from the twcnty-eight pot,eries of
East Liverpool, o., travelled seventy miles
yesterday morning to call on Major Nc
kinley mt his home. This glazed ware in
dustry has been established in America
since Major Mckinley was sent to con-
gress from this district twenty years ago
Chairman W. L. Smith, Colonel ]. n.
Taylor and W. d. Blaks headed the dele

worker and an eloquent talker. The visi-
tors on the way to Canton and later on
their march to McKinley's residence at
tractc l recruits until 5000 enthusiastic,
cheering people gathered about the Nc
kinley home. The spokesman for the visi-
tors dwclt on the thrift principally.
Another Visit from Farmers.
1t was nearly I o'clock when n party Of
seven carloads of Knox county farmers
reached Canton by special train. They
had the Centcrburg, O.. cornet band with
them, and no more enthusiastic delegation
has reached Canton than they. A local
farmer headed the parade with q load of
ncw-mown hay. They were a sturdy
looking set Of men, and cheer after cheer

Critchticld, of Mount Vernon, son of a
Knox county farmer, made n neat presen-
tation speech. Major McKinley's response
was repeatedly interrupted with applause.
lie said the hartlships of the American
farmers came from too many competitors
over the whole world.
Some Comments on the Tariff.
They also came from the fact that the
farmers best customers, the American
workingmcn, had been largely out of
work for the past three years. The Re-
publican party could not dispose of the
competitors, but it could help the Ameri-
can market for the farmer. The home
market, under protection, consumed 81
per. cent. of the American agricultural
products. He said that the home market
Is the best market; that the factory was
the farmers best friend; that prosperity
had come through the factories, and not
through the minis. He said he had no
fear of the farmers vote. In 1892 they
had stood firmly and loyalty against free
trade. They would stand against free
trade and free silver this year.
Touche. on the Money Question.
To lower the standard of value would
not give the farmer any actual gain. But
the panic of a free trade and free silver
policy would but add to the hardships Of
the last three years. He quoted from the
presidential messages of Fillmore. jackson
and Buchanan tn show that low tariff
policy had always worked To the hardship
of agriculture. He said free silver would
not cure ovcr-production of farm products
or ;hc undcr-consumption Of the American
people. Free silver would not close the
wheat fields of Russia, India or the Ar
gcntine Republic. That the farmer as
we'll as the workingman wants his pay in
an honest dollar.

RumOred That the President
Is Preparing Another
Message
And That in 1t He Will Give
Congress His Views Of
Cuban Affairs.
He and Secretary Olney in Con-
ference Cabinet Meeting
Postponed.

WASHINGTON, April 8.-Secretary
Olney called early at the White House
and remained in close consultation
with the president, undeterred by the
notice that had been sent to the other
members, to the effect that there would
be no cabinet meeting. There is reason
to believe that the meeting would have
been postponed regardless of the ap-
pearance of the measles among the
children at the White House, in order
to afford the president an opportunity
for private deliberation with the chief
member Of his cabinet sfor there was
story current, and it is believed well
founded, to the effect that the two were
engaged in the preparation Of a
Special Message to Congress.
OF course this was Immediately as
sumed to relate to the Cuban situation,
and to be an exposition by the president
of the actual state of affairs on the
island, as revealed in the reports Of the
United States consular officer and other
trusted sources of information. There
is o resolution before the president.
passed at the instance of Senator Hoar
of Massachusetts, calling for this in
formation.
1t is reasoned that the president in
transmitting the information asked for
may. feel it his duty in view OF the
overwhelming majority, by which the
Cuban concurrent resolutions passed
both branches Of congress, to
Come Out With . Plain Statement
of the reasons that influence him in
preserving unmoved the position he has
assumed towards the insurrection in
. Cuba, showing from the best obtainable
information that has reached him, that
regardless of the sympathy he may feel
personally for the insurgents, he is
absolutely bound by the facts as he sets
them, by precedent, and by the dictates
of international law, to persist in his
attitude. This view of the matter 1of
course applies only so long as the u <osi.
dent is left free to decide upolf the
course to be followed by the govern.
ment, since it may be that he would
Take An Entirely Different View
of the matter if congreg rshould send to
him a joint resolution smbodying the
features Of the concurrent resolutions,
and assumed that by 80 doing the legis-
islative branch had taken the direction
of the matter out of HIS hands While
it is thought likely the president may
send in q message to congress in trans
mitting the Cuban information request
cd, it is not certain that this message
will be more than formal letter Of
transmittal. There are good reasons
why the consular reports should be
handled very guardedly, since our con.
suls have to continue resident in Cuba,
and the work on which the president is
believed to be engaged may be in the
nature of a statement Of facts or sum-
mary of the main features Of the conf
dental consular reports.
