CANTON, o., Ian. 25.-Aiajor McKin-
ley had some little time to himself Mon
day, the visitors not being as numerous
or asking for extended conferences as
usual. During the intervals between
calls Major Mckinley chatted pleasantly
with the newspaper men and members
of the household. and would divide his
time with these and Mrs. Mckinley.
Much has been said and written concern
Ing Mrs. McIlinley's inaugural gown,
and some of Sundays metropolitan pa
pers contsined an alleged full descrip-
tlon of the dress, together with lllustra-
tlons of Major and Mrs. Mckinley as
they are expected to appear at that
event, and inquiry az to- their truthful
ness was made by an Associated Press
representative. The positive informa-
tlon was given that not one thread Of
the inaugural gown had yet been select
ed. Mrs. Mckinley win possibly 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 a few days ago.
Among the early visitors Monday
morning were the three Tennessee legis-
lAtors. who came to present the name Of
II. Clay Evans, Of their state, for che
cabinet They were received with the
usual cordlallty by the Presldent-elect,
and conference followed. They say
they were assured that careful consider
alton would be given their request.
Hon. John Il. Lynch. the colored ex-
congressman, of Natchez, Miss, accom-
panied by Mr.. C. F. Bowles OF the same
place. were callers during the morning.
While they say that their presence here
Is merely to pay their respects to Com
rade Mckinley" II is understood that
great deal WAS slid concerning colored
men for postmasters and recognition
OF cOlored men for other offices.
Prof G. V. TTentamone, Of Florence,
Italy, who has been in the city for sever
al days. and -who is an attache OF the
Italian legation at Washington, left this
morning for Marquette. Mich. He paid
his respects to Major Mckinley on sat
urd-y last.
The west-bound Pennsylvania train
tonight carried Mrs Mckinley and her
sister, Mrs. NJ. c. Barber and Captain
Heistand, as passengers. They are
TO be the guests OF Captain and Mrs.
McWllliams. Of Chicago, their cousins,
for several days At present Major Nc
Kinley does not expect to join his wife
in Chicago.
When the Tennesseeans had said what
they could for II. Clay Evans, and
Brooklyn had paved the WY for n genu-
inc boom OF Congressman Francis NJ.
Wilson, Of Brooklyn. Fremont Alder. OF
the San Francisco Bulletin, secured an
audience TO say few words for Judge
waymire for the interior portfolio. He
says the place win go to his man or TO
Judge McKenna, and will not admit that
the chances OF the latter are not one
whit better than those Of the man he
means To boom.

Escape OF Two women.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, Jan. 25.-Fire to-
night destroyed the DIllaye block and
part OF the Butler block and damaged
the Keller block. The following stores
were burned out; W. W. Kimball Co.,
pianos and organs; New York Cloak
House. Palmer's millinery store. The
total loss is about 100000, mostly IN
sured.
The Intense cold and heavy gale OF
wind made fire fighting the hardest KIND
OF work. The flames were confined With
in high walls and 1t was impossible 20
reach them with streams, except from
the Sallna street front. Finally lines OF
hose were laid on the roofs OF adjoining
buildings and after five hours OF work
the flames were under control.
The store OF j. W. Yale g. Co., was
crushed by the falling Of the roof OF the
Butler block. Col. ]. w. Yale. Mrs. Wes-
ley Yale and Mrs. George X. Frazer,
prominent society people, were in the
store on the ground floor The falling
tlmbers cut them on from the street and
as the rear OF the establishment was q
mass of flames. II seemed almost impos-
slble that they should escape. They sue
caeded in crawling down the freight ele-
vator shaft. however, and forcing their
way through masses of debris, escaped
by the cellars of adjoining property, :.

Hemisphere was that a people held the
inRlienable right 10 establish their own
form OF government. The senator trac-
ed the bloody struggle OF Cuba TO es-
tnblish its own form OF government.
There has not been Ten years Of peace
since 1850. This prs5s:it war was but
second period or the frst war. 1t was
inspired by the same hopes and direct
ed by the same leaders. The end In
view was to throw on Spaln's control
OF Cuba and give 1t 10 the Cuban peo-
pie What was the United States to
do In this state? Must Congress, he ask
ed. wait for the executive branch TO
act, and In answer he presented many
opinions 90 show that the commerce
clause" OF the constitution giving Con-
gress power over commerce was not
restricted TO trade and traffic, but was
commerce meaning intercourse"
and extended to the intercourse be-
tween the United States and all for
eign governments and people.
This power OF Congress was so pri-
mary and paramount, Mr.. Turpie as
serted, that Congress could execute the
powers of the president, even to the
appointment Of postmaster, a minis
ter or an ambassador, IL the executive
branch failed 10 perform Its functions
as established by law When Congress
made 4 law as to the relation which
the United States was to sustain to-
ward a foreign government, 1t could
perform all acts to carry this law into
execution, even to the appointment of
temporary diplomatic officers, In case
the executive failed to act.
Mr.. Turpie characterized Captain
General Weyler as the Herod of Hava-
na, the murderer Of women and chill
dren and as an ''indescribable, dimin-
utlve reptile"
These bitter words were incident to
Mr.. Turpie's speech OF two hours on
the Cameron Cuban resolutions. The
speech did not develop the criticism Of
the secretary of state, which had been
foreshadowed by Mr. Turpie's remarks
last week. as the senator confined Elm-
self largely to a careful analysis OF the
constitutional rights Of Congress, his
conclusion being that Congress, as rep
resenting the people had primary and
paramount authority over recognizing
new governments.
Mr. Turpie frequently turned aside
from his argument TO pay glowing
tribute 10 the insurgent government
and its leaders General Maceo was eu-
logized as hero whose memory would
be honored by the people of Cuba Libre
as the American people honored the
heroes OF revolutionary days. In con-
nection with General Maceo's death the
senator referred with bitter denuncia-
tion 30 General Weyier. Mr.. Turpie did
not conclude his speech and expects to
proceed tomorrow.
