PRESIDENTS MOTHER DYING
The President at Her Bedside-AH
Members of Family Present.

Canton, Dec. 3.-Ths morning Mrs.
Nancy Allison Mckinley was reported
sinking rapidly and the end appeared to
be near. Before che lapsed to uncon-
scousness she was given to understand
that her son had started for Canton from
Washington. All trains on the road were
put on eide tracks, and the last 101 miles
were reeled off in two hours by the presi-
dents train.
AT 6:55 the president reached Canton.
Upon the arrival at the home of his
mother President Mckinley entered the
sicb room and knelt by the bedside. She
WAS unconscious. The little family
group was com plete. Now, ell that re-
manned was to wait for death, and hope
bsioio II caa2 that motA.E would be
able to once NOR recogn'zF her loving
children.
AS the day wore op, Mrs. Mckinley re-
mained apparently in the came condition
as in the early morning. She, was un-
conscious, showed no evidence OF, auffer-
ing and seemed to be passing quietly IN
to the sleep of death.
President Mckinley believes his moth
er recognized him as he knelt by her bed
side. His sister, Helen, announced his
arrival by saying: "Here, mother, is
william. If you recognize him hold up
your hand" Mrs. Mckinley did raise
her left hand slightly. He grasped the
hand fondly and says he seemed to feel
slight pressure from his mothers effort
to return his greeting. This was the only
incident in the sick room today.
The president is to remain here until 2
O'Clock tomorrow afternoon, when he
will return to Washington to look after
some official business which made it al
m lost impossible for him to leave the cap
| ital at this time. At IL O'Clock DR.. Phil

Snow Storm
In THREE STATES.

YANKTON, S. D., 13ec. 3.-The snow
storm of yesterday and last night still
continues, with no sign of abatement.
All trains into this city are late. The
lack of wind saves railroad traffic from
a general tie-up. Already nearly a foot
of snow has fallen. Present indica-
tions point to its being one of the
heaviest snow storms experienced in
this section for years.
The Iowa lines have had the worst Of
it, trains from Chicago averaging more
than an hour late, while Nebraska
trains have been within thirty minutes
Of regular time. The Burlington's fast
mail was an hour and half late this
afternoon. The roads are making eff
forts tonight to keep their tracks clear.
OMAHA, Neb., Dee. 3.-Snow has fall
len In Nebraska continuously for twen-
ty-four hours, and in some parts of
the state it continues. 1t Is the first
general storm In weeks. At Omaha
the fall amounts to about eight inches.
It is light and dry, and while 1t flies
easily in the wind the drifts it makes
are not formidable obstacles. In the
northern part OF the state along the
South Dakota line the fall was much
heavier. One point, Harrington, re-
ports sixteen inches and still falling at
o'clock this evening Reports from
Western Iowa and South Dakota are
to the effect that the snow is general
throughout this section. AS yet no
damage is reported. Tonight the wind
is rising, and by morning the snow
will likely be badly drifted. This may
blockade railroads.
CEDAR RAPIDS, To-, Dec. 3.-One Of
the worst storms in the history of the
state prevails here. Snow fell all day.
and tonight the storm assumed the
shape of a blizzard. Six inches of snow
are now on the ground, and it is still

been cruising in southern waters, are
just starting on their way northward
to the United States. About the mid
die of last September the German
charge here, Mr.. Reichenau, formally
advised the state department that the
German cadet school ship Stein would
arriveat Charleston, 8. c., Feb. next,
and that the cadet school ship Char
lotte would arrive at the same port
Feb. II. They are to depart on the
5th and 18th of February respectively.
Neither of these vessels can properly
be regarded as warships although they
are attached to the German navy and
carry q large number of young naval
cadets. Nevertheless, the Haytian min
lister fears that their appearance in
Haytian waters just at this juncture,
when the threat has been made that
German warships will make a demon
stratiOn in the harbor of Port au
Prince, may lead to serious trouble
there.
