most powerful subject in all the empire.
Chang has many yellow jackets. The
one he wore when presented to President
Cleveland was made Of gorgeous yellow

of spun gold. 1t is cut in one piece and
is the perfection of textile art and gar
ment cutting. The last time the jacket
was taken away was on the occasion of
the defeat of the Chinese in Corea and in
the naval battle off the mouth of the
Yalu River by the Japanese. But he was
soon restored to imperial favor and sue

CANTON, O., June 2O.-The Canton
party from st. Louis will be home be-

come through from Orrville to Canton
by a special engine.
The Canton party, however, will not
come alone. The 5000 people who
tried to make personal greeting to Gov
ernor Mckinley after the nomination,
will be augmented daily by the most
tremendous political excursions the
country has ever seen. The first
telegraphic announcement of PARKWAY
visitors to follow the Alliance, Akron,
Massilon and Niles contingents, was a
telegram from J. B. Milholland of New
York to Governor Mckinley, saying:

will congratulate. personally at Canton
tomorrow"
Ten Train Loads From Cleveland.
According to a telegram from Cleve-
land, 10 train loads of people are ar
ranging to come to Canton from the
Forest City within a few days, and
railroad men say that dozens of train
loads of people have contracted to stop
at Canton on their way home from St.
Louis East. Friday morning the Pitts
burg Office Of the Western Union re-
ported that there were congratplatory
kilograms piled up several feet high in
their office, that it was impossible to
send, owing to the rush Of matter there.
Up to that time several thousand had
been received by Governor Mckinley,
the rush beginning even before the
nomination was announced.
