Mrs. Mckinley Gone to- Select Her In
auguruI GOwn-The Majors Visitoss--

CANTON. o., Jan. 25-The west-bound
Pennsylvania train tonight carried Mrs.
Mckinley and her sister. Mrs. NJ. c. Bar
ber and Captain Hestand, as passengers.
They are to be the guests of Captain and
Mrs. McWiliams. of Chicago, their cousins,
for several days. At present Major McKin
ley does not expect to join his wife i'm Chi
cago. Much has been said and written con-
cerning Mrs. Mckiniey's inaugural gown.
and some of Sundays metropolitan papers
contained an alleged full description of the
dress. together with illustrations of Major
and Mrs Mckinley as they are expected to
appear at that event. Inquiry TO their
truthfulness was made by a reporter and
the positive information was given that not
one thread of the inaugural gown had yet
been selected. Mrs. Mckinley will, possi-
bly, select her costume at Chicago this
week, but thus far the nearest approach to
the gown is the receipt of samples of goods
which were sent q few days ago.
Among the early visitors at the Mckinley
residence this morning were three Tennes-
see legislators, who came to present the
name of III. Clay Evans, of their State, for
the Cabinet. They were received with the
usual cordiality by the President-elect and
a conference followed. They say they were
given their request.

gresham of Natchez, Miss, accompanied
by Mr.. G. F. Bowles, of the same place
We're callers during the morning. While
they said their presence here was merely
TO pay their respects TO ''Comrade McKin-

was said concerning colored men for post

for other offices. Hon. j. NJ. Wilson, jr.
of Kentucky. was also caller.

a like manner. said he did not believe that
any member Of the committee would be in
cluded i'm the official household OF the in
coming administration.
