The President Returns

Washington, December 15-President
Mckinley, the members Of the cabinet
and others who went to Canton reached
Washington shortly before IL O'clock
The special train was stopped just out
side the station yard and the members
of the party were driven to their homes
The president and Mrs. Mckinley nat
urally were fatigued with the strain to
which they had been subjected. but stood
the trip we'll, and the president himself
was ready to look after some matters of
personal business after a short rest 1t
is understood to be the present inten-
ton of the president to omit all social
and official functions at the White house
for a period of thirty days from the date
of the death of his mother. Most of the
official receptions are usually set down
for dates after the first of January. so
that the principal omission, if the pres
ent order is carried out, will be the New
Years day reception, which will be less
felt than any other from the fact that all
the elements that go to make up this
function. even the general public are re-
ceived by the president at one or the 9TH
er of the special receptions.
Twenty minutes after the presidential
train left Canton last night il struck and
instantly killed Louis Moinet, a laborer
walking on the track. The president was
much disturbed at the distressing acci-
dent so soon after the sad ordeal of the
day.

mot A TRUE BILL"
The Baltimore Grand Jury Ignoves the
Bill Against the American for Libel of
Senator Wellington

Baltimore, December 15.-The grand
jury today ignored the indictment
against General Felix Agnus, on the
charge of criminally hbelling Senator
George l.. Wellington in The American
on the morning of November 26th. That
morning The American published an arti-
Gle clipped from The Washington Post
~and commented upon the article favora-
bly,, saying that the statements in it
were true. The article in question was a
very bitter attack upon the official career
of Senator Wellington. telling things
which he had done and other things
which he might do in the future.
Three days after the Baltimore arti-
Gle appeared, Senator Wellington ap-
peared before the grand jury and had
General Agnus presented for criminal
libel. An Indictment charging criminal
libel in four counts was drawn up and
printed, but the action of the grand jury
does away with the proceeding for this
term of court at least.
On the same day that the presentment
was found. Senator Wellington fled in
the superior court a civil suit for 500 600
damages against General Agnus. This is
still perdfng. 1t is not believed that Sem
ator Wellington has had anything to do
with the discontinuance of the prosecu-
tion in the criminal case.
The American tomorrow will say:
Two weeks ago Senator George l.. We'll
lingtons of this state, appeared before
the grand jury of this city and COM
planned that he had been criminaly libell-
ed by The Baltimore American. Upon
his representations the grand jury pre-
sented General Felix Agnus. the publish
er, to the states attorney for indictment
Yesterday this indictment was returned
to the court endorsed ignored This re-
suit is all the more gratifying because
The American did nothing to bring it
about. Ever since Mr.. Wellington invit-
ed an investigation of himself in the
courts The American has been ready and
willing to meet him. 1t has always found
justice at the hands of both court and
jury and it simply begs to repeat what it
said the morning after the presentment
was announced 1t then quotes its edi-
torial of December 1st, in which it said
it would meet the issue and that it would
be intimidated by no one.
