lev Is very much concerned about the
reports of his mothers illness and has
asked to be kept constantly informed
as to her condition. At any other time
he would go at once to Canton, but the
nearness of the convening of Congress
makes it important that he should be
here. The first thing that Congress does
on assembling is to send communica-
ton to the White House announcing that
it has convened and is ready to proceed
to business. A recess is taken by each
house to await the return Of the COM
mittee. Just what would be done in case
the President were away from the cap
ital Is not known, as no case of that kind
can be recalled. Should Mrs. McKin-
ley grow no worse the President will
either make flying trip to Canton or
defer visiting his mother till next week.
It has been determined that the Pres
ident and Mrs. Mckinley will go to Can
ton. The Presidents absence will not
prevent the Presidents annual message
being sent to Congress, as communica-
ton between the President and the
Congressional Committee can be estab-
lished by telegraph and the message sent
to Congress by the Secretary Of the
President.
OFF FOR CANTON
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-President
Mckinley left the city at 1920 tonight
over the Pennsylvania road, to hasten to
the bedside of his sick mother at Canton.
where he will arrive tomorrow. With
him went Judge Day, assistant secretary
of state, the two occupying the Pullman
car Davy Crockett. attached to the reg
ular train. The president had made
hurried arrangements for his departure,
and during the afternoon disposed of a
large volume of business awaiting his
attention. He reached the station un-
attended few minutes before the time
for the train to leave. Desiring to avoid
any demonstration, the president in
structed the coachman to drive to the
baggage entrance. where Assistant Sec
retary Day, Secretary Porter and Ex-
ecutive Clerk Cortelyou awaited him.
The presidents stay at Canton will
depend upon the condition in which he
finds his mother. If she improves he
will return to Washington in time for
the opening of congress and later again
go to Canton.

cLARKs CASE CLOSED DR. EvANs's FORTUNE
By ASKING THE CONSUL TO
RESIGN
The Consulate Not Sacked, But the
Occupant Fired Out for Non
Payment of Rent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Secretary
Sherman has closed the case of Emil
ZClark. consular agent at Piura Peru,
which attracted much attention some
months ago by calling for the resigna-
tion of Clark. On April 90 last Clark
was ousted from quarters used below as
the United States consular office and
above as a residence.
1t was stated at the time that the con-
sulate had been sacked, the house plum
dered, and ar indignity put upon it's
government through it's representative.
The state department promptly called on
MI. Clark for particulars, which lie said
he would furnish. The Peruvian min
lister, Senior Eguiguern, put different
phase on the matter by submitting q
statement that Clark was in arrears to
a considerable amount on rent for the
building, that only the lower portion
was used for consular purposes, al
though he had placed the United States
coat of arms on all the doors of the
house, thus using the American emblem
for ignoble purposes. The courts had
given regular decree against Clark, it
was stated. directing him to vacate the
premises for non-payment of rent, and
in pursuance of this decree he was
elected.
Secretary Sherman waited until re-
Gently for Mr.. Clark's statement and as
this was not furnished after five months
the secretary directed our minister at
Lima, Mr.. Dudley, to call on Clark for
his resignation, unless the proofs Of the
alleged sacking were in hand. Mr..
Dudley had evidently not received the
proofs. for he has notified the state de-
partment that he has called on Clark for
his resignation.
