The circumstances attending the
adoption Of the legend "E Pluribus
Unum" as the motto Of the United
States have never been fully explained
by the historians. It was probably used
ON coins-and some say upon early
colonial flaRs-long before it was regu-
larly recognized by the leading officials
Of the new republic The Oldest coin
bearing the motto in full is n colonial
cent coined by New Jersey in the year
1886. The same year it appeared ON
small medal recognized among the col
lectors of coins As "the confederate. :"
This medal was a national token, be

EinIey is rapidly recovering from the
effects of the mental strain and arduouS

ing expressed himself as being quite
fully rested. He is in excellent health
and spirits. The PreSident-elec spent
very quiet Sunday. He took short
walk early in the morning, attended
church as usual, and in the afternoon
went for a drive. The balance OF the
day Major Mckinley passed quietly IN
his library. Among those who called
were: Charles @. Dawes, member OF the
Executive Committee of the Natlonal
Republican Committee; Ferdinand w.

Captain A. I. Wimberly of New Or

The determination of Major Mckinley
10 remain in Canton until the middle of
this week on account of the feeble con-
LItion of his wife may keep the storm
cloud of political interest central over
Canton for some days longer. The
character of the visitors to Major Nc
kinley has changed a good deal since
his election. During the campaign,
when the railways made low rates,
people from the lowIy walks of life who
came to Canton. Now the visitors are
largely of the political holding or
office seeking classes, and only aspir-
ants for places of the higher grades
take the trouble to come to Canton.

CO ngratulations in person many people

official positions are beginning to come
in by mail in large numbers and they
include requests for all sorts of ap-

ited quantities continue to reach Mrs.
Mckinley. Every room in th~ horse
is radiant with them and the supply
was so large yesterday afternoon that
a Wagonload was divided among sick
friends and the patients in the City

HAN0TAUI And THE SULTAN.
HIS SPEECH SCARED THE TURK.
ISH RULER INTO REFORM.
He at Last AWakens to the Fact
That the Powers Mean
Business.

PARIS, Nov. SIT is evident that
the speech delivered in the Chamber of
Deputies by NJ. Hanotaux, Minister of
Foreign Affairs, has had an extraordi-
nary effect upon the Sultan of Turkey
and has produced results that the most
sanguine almost despaired of ever see
iCg.
The statement cabled last night by
the United Associated Presses as to the
attitude of the Sultan after he had
learned what M. Hanotaux had said
and the many reforms he promised in
consequence of the attitude of France
was official, it having emanated from
the Foreign Office here. Seldom if ever
has partial fulfillment followed so close
ly upon Turkish promises, and it is
believed here that all PROMISES of re-
forms by the Sultan will be carried out
as quickly as circumstances will per-
nit, particularly as NJ. CamboE, the
French ambassador to the Porte, has
received precise instructions from the
Foreign Office to watch the application
of preliminary reforms by the Turkish
administration.
AS stated in last nights dispatches,
the Turkish ambassador here a tele-
graphic report Of NJ. Hanotaux's speech
sent one Of his Secretaries to NJ Cam
bon, who impressed upon the Secretary
that there was urgent necessity for the
Sultan to adopt measures to reassura
the public opinion and satisfy Europe.
The French representative spoke with
TO uncertain tone and the whole con-
yersation was repeated by the Secre-
tary to the Sultan, who apparently re-
allied that the time for trifing was
passed. At any rate the Turkish En-
bassador at Paris yesterday visited the
Foreign Office and informed NJ Hano-
taux that the Sultan had decided upon
widespread and radical reforms. Among
the promises made by the Sultan was
one to dismiss the Vail of Diarbekir
for the share he took in the disorders
there. and this has already been car
r:ed out. Kahlid Bey will replace the
dismissed Vail.
