WITH MR.. M'KINLEY.
Visitors From the Far East and Far
West in His Library.

Canton, Ohio, Nov. 3O.-Almost every
train seemed to bring a visitor to Major
Mckinley this morning and the President
elect has not been without visiting states
man at any time today.
Mrs. j. Ellen Foster, president of the
Woman's National Republican Associa-
ton came in early and had Il consultation
with Major Mckinley on several subjects.
She was followed by John r. Thomas, OF
Illinois, Representative Charles y. Fowler,
of New Jersey, both of whom had short
interviews with the President-elect. The
extremes of ofthecOntinent met In the ma jor's
library at noon, when Mr.. Henry Cabot
Lodge. of Massachusetts, shook hands there
with NJ. II. DeYoung, of San Francisco.
Mr.. De Young is looked upon as a
formidable candidate for a Cabinet posi-
ton should the Pacific slope at last gain
recognition, which seems to be at least
probable. He had a long conference with
Major Mckinley, and, in company with
Senator Lodge, lunched at the Mckinley
home
DR.. T. n. Jameson, national committee
man from Illinois, arrived this morning
and Will meet Major Mckinley this after
