staff of General George Crook and with
Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley cam
paign. He faced the battle clouds from
which rained Kissing lead at Cedar Creek,
at Winchester, at Fishers Hill at Ope-
guam and on other fields at that period.
On. that historic day when the gallant
Phil Sheridan rode his foamlng horse
from Winchester young Major Mckinley
was rallying the troops at Cedar Creek,
and Sheridan speaks of it with pride in his
memoirs.
AT Berryville Major McKinley's horse
was shot from under him. He holds
commission of brevet-maior in the United
States Volunteers, issued in 1864, for gal
liant and meritorious services at Opequam,
Cedar Creek and Fishers Hill. This COM
mission was issued by Abraham Lincoln.
Major Mckinley accompanied General
Crook to Cumberland, III Maryland, where,
after the capture OF Crook and General
Kelley, General Hancock retained Major
Mckinley on his staff until the brave
young soldier was assigned to the staff of
General Samuel s. Carroll, commanding
the veteran reserve corps at Washington.
The future President of the United States
looked on with tear-filled eyes and bosom
swelling with Loyalty and pride when
Grant received the sword of Lee at APP
pomattox. Not until the end of the war,
September, 1865, did young Mckinley lay
aside his sword.
Art connoisseurs will not approve of the
taste ofGovernor Mckinley in the selec-
ton of pictures with which to adorn the
walls OF his Canton home. Instead of
Psyches, nymphs and satyrs, Venuses de
Milo who do not bear arms and rea a.istic
monstrosities by Munkacsy, or "A Maiden

from the life OF General Ulysses S. Grant,

surrender of Lee to Grant a Appomattox,
fine engraving of Abraham Lincoln, and
other subjects of like kind, which prove
that Governor McKinley's loyalty and pa
triotism are foremost In his thoughts. 4 y =

sion from which there could be unmis-
takably no appeal. That expression will
go down in history, although it sounded
commonplace there among the common
place people, who failed to take in its full
signifcance-the patriotism of the re-
mark.

from Manhattan, tits misdemeanor.
'Thats SO" remarked the man who had
disfigured his counry's flag with bad let
tering. "Write your autograph and your
name on sheet of paper ana that will be

The Governor readily com piled with the
request, and for ten minutes WAS busy
writing his autograph. When ! asked
him for one for THE CALL he replied:
~ will give my autograph to the San
Francisco CALL with pleasure" and he
dashed off Yours. truly, VIM. McKin-
ley" in those bold, square characters, so
like the man himself, mentally and ply
sically.
In his speech on this occasion the Gov
ernor made the first political utterance
since his name was mentioned for the
Presidency. In few simple words he
laid his finger upon the cause of the
trials which now afflicted the working
people of this Nation when he said that
he was glad to have demonstrated in his
native town that tin plate could be made
in America. His next sentence was
greeted by chorus of cheers:
when l have given the American
workingman days wages and a davis
work / will be satisfied.
The Governor received me very cor
daily, but in reply to my request for a
statement from him on his conception of
public policy designed to secure the great
est happiness to the greatest num- ber of
the inhabitants of this country he said
that while he would be pleased to favor
the San Francisco CALL in every way he
could it would be impossible for him to
make any statements at this time for pub-
lication, for the reason that he might he

II have declined to state anything of
that kind to Murat Halstead, John Rus

correspondents from the ether

Washington. Nov. 5.--More gold is

BIMETALLISTS MEET.
Encouraged by The Election Of Mckinley,
They Urge Agitation for Inter.

London, Nov "a meeting of the
members of the Bimetallic League has
been in session all the afternoon, en-
gagged in the work of drawing up ami
festo. Members from Birmingham,
Manchested and elsewhere are in at
tendance. The document, which will be
issued tonight, Is signed by Messrs. A.
l.. Denham, II. r. Greenfel Robert
Barclay, II. c.. Gibbs, and II. Mac
Neil. 1t claims that McKinley's cleo
ton Is a victory for International BIZ
metallism, and quotes the money plank
of the st. Louis platform. Continuing
it says:
IN these circumstances, and in view
of the strong agitation for free silver
or natural Limetallism in State and

TRIED THE NEW MACHINES.
All Votes Registered satisfactorily in
Rochester,, n, Y.

Rochester, n Y. Nov. 5.-The Myers
ballot machine was tried on the larg
est scale, and put to the severest test
yet attempted i'm this city on Tuesday
On the whole, the result was very sat
isfactory. Heretofore the machine has
been used only in small and unimport-
ant town elections. The common coun-
Gil here was induced to try it only at
the last moment.
Voters were surprised at the ease
and rapidity with which they were
able to make their political preferences
known. Those that voted the straight
ticket, and had, therefore, to push only
one knob, met with no perplexity what
ever. They could march i'm and out at
the rate of from two to four a minute
Those voters that voted split ticket
required little more time. They had
to push a knob for each candidate
they voted for. Still they voted with
surprising rapidity. Sometimes the
votes were at the average rate Of two
minute. But sixty and seventy votes
an hour was the average
One of the most satisfactory fea-
lures of the machine was the rapidity
and accuracy with which 1t permitted
the result of the election to be known.
Within twenty minutes after the clos
ing of the polls the cOmpany's central
office was in possession of the result of
the voting for presidential and guber-
material candidates in all the districts
except half a dozen. These were OBJ
tained by 6 o'clock. By o'clock the
result of the election in all districts
on all the candidates was known ac-

TRAGEDY OF A FIRE.
Girl Is Burned to
Death in New York.

New York. Nov. 5.--A fire occurred
shortly after half past twelve this af-
ternoon in the five story double brick
fiat, 546 West One Hundred and Twen-
ty-sixth street and gutted the building.
Mamie Deacher, years old. the
daughter of Policeman George Deacher,
was cut off by the flames and burned
to death, and her father, in attempting
to rescue her, was himself badly burned
about the face; hands and arms. Sew
eral other persons We're scorched and
slightly burned either in escaping from
the house Or in the work of rescue. a
policeman and several citizens did
heroic work in risking their lives to
save the tenants of the house, whose
means of escape were cut off by the
flames and who would have inevitably
been burned to death but for the
prompt aid given them, along window
lodges to an adjoining building. The
origin of the fire has not been definitely
aScertained.

Mr.. Adams was treasurer of Kings

WOMEN AT THE POLLS.
They Made Mistake in Casting
Some Of Their Votes.

Denver. Col. Nov. 5.-The woman
vote was very large in this city and in
most of the towns of the state. The
emblem of the National Silver party
was a picture of Senator Teller, and
many women placed their cross beside
that emblem, thinking they were vot-
ing for Teller and his interests, while
in fact, such votes We're for Bryan cleo
tors and the Populist state ticket. This
fact alone will probably cause the de-
feat of the legislative ticket in this city
favorable to Teller, although it will not
affect the final return of Teller.
Women served as clerks and judges
of election to good advantage and there
were "a number of canvassers and
watchers of that sex

Curacao. Nov. 5.-A large consign-

ed for the Cuban insurgents has been
seized here by the Danish Government,
and will he contiscated. The material
was brought by the brig Curacao from
New York, and was intended to be
transhipped by another vessel. An at
tempt was made, it is claimed, to land
the stuff off the coast Of Cuba, but the
effort was failure.
The boxes have on them, it is said,
the mark of Bartram Bros. New York
merchants, and Were shipped as
chloride of lime and caustic soda. The
consignees refuse to accept the ship
ment. There Is in the lot nearly 100
boxes of arms and ammunition.
