M'klNLev ANXIOUS FOR DELAY.
President Awaiting Result Of Spain's New
Policy Toward Cuba

Washington. Nov. 1S-It IS said to
be the present intention Of President
Mckinley to incorporate the recent
Spanish correspondence in his annual
message to congress. He does not deem
il compatible with the public interest
to publish the full text of the notes
pending further correspondence and tho
carrying out of the promises made by
the Spanish government.
1t is reported that Spain asked to
have the correspondence withheld for
the present for political reasons. The
new ministry fears that its conciliatory
attitude toward the United States, as
shown by its note may cause embai-
rassment at home, and thereby make
1t impossible TO carry out the proposed
reforms. en- the other hand, there il
the fear that jingo members OF con-
gress who have been expecting so much
at the hands of Mr.. Mckinley, may not
be satisfied with all that Spain has
promised and that another outbreak in
congress VIII tend to aggravate the sit
uation in Spain The presidents chief
desire now is to stave off action of any
kind by congress until it can be defin-
itely known whether Spains new plan
Is TO succeed or fail

Afiilistion with Local Assemblies Is No
Longer Necessary.


Longer Necessary.
Louisville, Nov. lS.-The fact has de-
veloped that, with view of recruiting
its ranks. the order of the Knights of
Labor has made radical departure In
its membership system. Heretofore 1t
has been the rule that all members
should be affiliated with their local as
sembles. which are in turn affiliated
with the district assemblies. and these
latter with the general executive board
Under this system, moreover, IL was
necessary that there should be at least
ten members in one place In order 10
organize an assembly and enable any
person to hold membership precisely
as is the case with Masons, odd Fellows
and other secret organizations.
Now, however, the order has adopted
an Individual membership plan, through
which all persons not in the immediate
vicinity Of local assembly are admit
ted to full communion by signing the
declaration Of principles and an appli-
cation for membership and paying the
usual per capita tax TO the general eN-
ecutive board. In this way it is expect
ed that tens Of thousands of people in
the country districts and sparsely set
tied regions who are in sympathy with
the order will be enabled to affiliate
with 1t. They cannot. OF course. be in
tiated according to the ritual, as in
the case of those Joining regularly
organized local assembly or unless a
member of the general executive board
or a special organizer happens to pass
| their way, but in all other details they
| will be regarded as full-fledged mem
hers Of the order.

TO CONTEST THE Will

Are Kept-Mental Incapacity for Many

Not Agree.

Ketcham the bride of but few weeks.
will be bitterly assailed. Not even the
marriage will be admitted, although
there is little doubt Mabel Wallace
Ketcham has a certificate in her posses
sion.
The attorney has already made
move to resist the widow. He has served
a notice upon the Illinois Trust and
Savings bank to restrain her from Sc
curing access to the safety deposit box
in which the deceased kept his securi-
ties. Some intimate that in this strong
box is the marriage certificate. and.
this being the case, it will greatly COM
plicate affairs.
Widow Has the Certificate.
Mrs Ketcham declares, however, that
the very important document is in her
possession and will not leave her hands.
In referring to the marriage Attorney
Purnell intmates that some one was
substituted for John Ketcham. He de-
clares upon the morning OF Sept "a
the deceased was not in a condition to
have signed a marriage certificate. He
deems the fact peculiar that Joseph
Keller, the butler, was not made wit
ness TO the ceremony. as he accompa-
MED the party to Milwaukee.
Rev Roberts. the minister who per-
formed the marriage. does not identify
the picture of John Ketcham as that OF
the man whom he married, and TO add
to the mystery. the butler tells conflict
| ing stories concerning the minor details
| of the peculiar trip to the Wisconsin
| city George Ketcham's attorney viii
| contend that the deceased was botf
| drunk and of unsound mind when hi
| signed the will.

| his death. His physical and mental de
( cay were so marked that he could hav'

The lawyer states that he has abun
