M'KINLEY'S CONDITION.
The President. Elect Has Recovered
from the Fatigues Of Campaign.

Canton. O., Nov. 9.-President- elect
Mckinley has so far recovered from
the fatigue incident upon the labors Of
the campaign just closed that he has
again resumed the methodical manner
of living that has characterized his
every day life for many years past He
arose at the usual hour this morning.
disposed of his early mail, which was
not OF an uncommonly large quantity,
and then in company with Clark Ton
ner. of Canton indulged in a walk
about the resident portion of the city.
The air was cool and bracing and the
pair walked at brisk gait for nearly
an hour. After calling at his moth
er's residence the president-elect re-
turned to his home. He announced
that he was feeling excellent and at
once plunged into his favorite occu-
patton of perusing pile Of newspapers
that daily come to him In the mail.
Although Major Mckinley has never
had any newspaper experience he has
a faculty of disposing of and getting
the meat out Of huge pile of news
papers that would reflect credit upon
some of the most trained exchange edi-
tors OF the profession. There were no
callers of prominence at the Mckinley
residence up to 2 o'clock this afternoon,
and taken altogether this has been the
most quiet and uneventful day Major
Mckinley has passed in many months.
The newspaper men who were on
duty at the Chicago national head
quarters and who were banquetted in
New York by Chairman Hanna, will
pass through Canton at 1925 tomorrow
morning. Major Mckinley will drive
down to the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne
and Chicago depot where he will meet
and greet the correspondents enrOute.

IL Bryan and Free Trade Game in
She Would UnderselI Us In Cotton
Fabrics..COai Loaded on ships
for ~ Per Ton.

San Francisco, Nov. Sd. p. Thomp-
son, of Portland, has Just arrived on
the steamship City Of Rio de Janeiro
from Japan. Thompson Is an ex-
United States minister to Turkey, hav-
ing served there during 1892, and has
spent several weeks in observation and
recreation in the mikadO's domains.
The Japanese are preparing to be-
come independent in military and COM
mercial matters" said he THE spirit
which controls them in every class Is
that of desire for independence. They
propose first to have navy. To this
end they have let contracts for cruis-
ers in the United States and in Eng
land. But the government intends to
have many Of Its battleships built at
home. A dry dock Is in course Of con-
struction at Nagaski, and il will. in
time, be followed by iron and steel
works, where cruisers and men or war
may be built. Because of the low labor
cost they may be constructed more
cheaply in Japan than here.
Had Bryan been elected president
and free trade policy adopted We
should have met strong competition
from the Japanese factories. Already
there are 5000 factories In the city Of
Osaka, and many Of these manufacture
cotton cloths. They are buying Ameri-
can cotton, and without q tariff they
could return this in cloth at lower
prices than We could make 1t. At Ma
gaski coal was loaded on the Oriental
steamships at 81 per ton."

Chicago, Nov 81. Hermann & Com

two armed robbers late this afternoon,
who secured about 5000 worth Of dia-

In money and escaped. Mr.. Hermann
proprietor, and c. A. McGurty, a clerk
were the only occupants Of the room
when the robbers entered. They were
preparing to close up the days busi-
ness when they were confronted with
drawn reolvers. The outlaws ordered
them into one corner Of the room and
then bound and gagged both. While
one rObber watched over them with his
pistol in readiness his companion rifled
the safe Of its contents and slipped a
quantity Of gems into his pocket. Mr..
Hermann's watch was taken from him.
The robbers escaped as they had en-
tered and passed out into the street
without exciting suspicion.
1t was several minutes before the
proprietor and the clerk could release
themselves and the robbers had made
good their escape. The matter was re-
ported to police headquarters and a
dozen officers were detailed on the case
No clue to the identity of the robbers
has been found. They are said to be
not more than twenty-one years old.
