OF Corporal Punishment Discussed In the
Prison COngress-Texns Delegates We're
the Only Ones Who Favored the System.
AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. 4.-The most i'm.
portant subject discussed in the prison
congress Friday, judging from the in
terest NANTES ted was 1.-The abolition of
corporal punishment" This subject
excited SO much interest that the chap.
lains at their afternoon session
almost forgot the object Of their meet
ing and drifted into the matter again
and it was on at the
time of adjournment. The only two
men who came to the rescue of the
corporal punishment system was super.
intendent Whatley, of the Texas peni-
tentiary, and Superintendent Hoyt,
of the coiored reformatory. Both
these gentlemen said that dement's
and dungeons might work in the
east, but the Texas and Colorado
horse thieves and robbers had to be
dealt with more severely. Mr.. Whatley
advocated spanking paddle" Quite
number of wardens. including j. w.
French, of Fort Leavenworth, were op.
posed to corporal punishment.
At the afternoon session of the con.
gress the chaplains held their meeting.
News was received of the death of Geo.
H. Hickox, of jackson, Miss, and the
association drafted suitable resolu.
tions of respect. Inasmuch as the
death left vacancy in the presidency,
the first vice president Rev. VIM. j.
Bait, of Junction, Mass, was elected
as his successor.
The night session was devoted to
general debate by the wardens on COR
poral punishment and the reading of
papers. The committee having charge
of the selection of place of meeting
for the next year, have invitations
from Philadelphia. Omaha, Indianapo-
lis and Columbus, o.

SLEEP OF DEATH.

Mother Mckinley Slowly Dying-The Presi.
dent Leaves for Washington.
CANTON, O., Dec. Cat 1O:3O o'clock
Saturday DR.. Phillips said of Mrs. Nc
Kinley that she is holding on to life
in a remarkable manner. There has
been no appreciable change since his
visit of an hour ago. The president
retired to his room and endeavored to
secure some sleep.
At 1920 o'clock DIR. Phillips left the
Mckinley house. He said Mrs. McKin.
ldy will never return to consciousness
and recognize her family; she is sleep.
ing herself away and may die at any
moment and may possibly survive the
day.
At 1:45 p. m. President Mckinley en-.
tered carriage in company with Mr..
Chas R. Miller and went to the Penn.
sylvania station to take the regular
train for Washington. His last act
before leaving the house was to go to
the room of his mother to take prob
ably his last look at her in life. She
was entirely unconscious of his pres.
ence and there could be no farewell.
The patient remains in the same con.
dition as has prevailed all day.
The president when he entered the
room he spoke lovingly to his
mother, and bending over her
bed, fondly kissed her goodby. She
showed no evidence Of realizing what
was transpiring and deeply affected
by the scene, the president bade .
hasty goodby to the family and entered
the carriage.
CANTON, O., Dec. 6-At 9:45 o'clock
pm, Sunday DR.. Phillips left Mrs. Nc.
Kinley. He said she was growing
weaker rapidly now and he scarcely
thought she could survive the night.
She is in no pain or distress, simply
quietly passing away.
At 1:15 a. m. Monday there was strong
hopes that Mrs. Kinley would survive
the night. She is much weaker than
at any other time butts resting quietly
and gradually passing away. The
whole family is about the bedside ex-
/. pecting the end.

THE GERMAN FORCE
At kiao.Chau Bay, China, viii Number
Over Four Thousand Men.
The Germans VIII Not he Led by the Al.
lurements Of France, Russia or Eng.
land to Devlate From q Policy of
Moderation In China.

BERLIN, Dec. 6.-When the German
reinforcements, consisting OF four com.
panies of marines, numbering 90 off,
GERS and 1900 men and a company Of
naval artillery numbering 200 men, ar
rive at Kiao-Chau bay, for which point,
as already cabled, they will soon set,
they will bring the total German force
there up to $500 men, the largest body
Germany has ever sent beyond Euro.
pean waters. It Is understood that
the reserves had to be drawn upon.
The admiralty denies that other
European squadrons have entered the
harbor at kiao-Chau to watch Ger.
many's proceedings, and 1t is believed
that Admiral Won Diedrich would pro:
test vigorously against such an at
tempt.
The Kolnischezeitung regards the
expedition as having two-fold aim,
first, to obtain missionary reparation,
and second, to obtain the eession of
Kaio-Chau as payment for past services
rendered China by Germany in connec-
tion with the conclusion of peace with
japan.
There is much self-congratulation
among the Germans that the mission.
Nary incident absolves the governments
from the tedious and perhaps abcrtive
process of automatically claiming q
coaling station in the form of de.
mand for treaty port or a settle.
ment on perpe etual lease. 1t is believed
unnecessary to take Great Britain
into account as she is over-occupied
elsewhere, while japan is not likely to
rresist the isolation of Germany, Rus
sia and France.
This is the contention of the Kol.
nisch Zeitung. At the same time it
says that Germany will not be led by
the allurements of France. Russia or
England to deviate from policy Of
moderation in China.
Emperor William received Sunday
the president of the reichstag, Baron
Won Buol Berenberg, and the vice
presidents. Herren Schmidt and SPAIN.
In conversation with them he express
ed a desire that the governments naval
bill should form the subject of busi-
ness-like deliberations, as party poll
tics ought to play no part in the de-
bates on such a question.
His majesty further declared that
Germany's relations with foreign pow.
erS were good

MOTHER M'kINLey
Hovering Between Life and Death-Her
Children at Her bedside.

CAN'T y, o., Dec. 4.-Friday morning
Mrs. Nancy Allison Mckinley was re-
ported linking rapidly and the end APP
p. ared II ar.
81 S:5j the president reached Canton
f., mo her was still alive. Upon
h., arrival at the home of his
mother President Mckinley ent cred
the sick room and knelt by the bedside.
She was unconscious. The little fam
lily group was complete. Now all
that remained was to wait for death
aad hope that before it came the
mother would be able, once more, to
recognize her loving children.
AS the day wore on Mrs. Nancy Alli-
son Mckinley remained apparently in
the same condition as at early morn
ing. She was unconscious and showed
no signs of suffering and seemed to be
passing quietly into the sleep of dea tn.
The president and other members of
the family were at her bedside. intent
on doing everything possible to
contribute to her comfort and hop
ing almost without faith for a
rally and for a sign of recogni-
tion. There was no encouragement
given them by the attending physician.
Late Friday afternoon members Of
the family at Mother McKinley's bed
side felt that she was steadily growing
weaker and could not last much longer.
Mrs. Duncan, of Cleveland, who was
summoned from Chicago, was the last
OF the children to arrive. she reached
the sick room at 1880. No effort was
made to arouse the patient to see if
she would recognize her daughter as it
was felt that it would be useless. the
mother being then entirely uncon-
scious.
CANTON. O.. Dec. 4.-Dr. Phillips and
Mr.. Abner Mckinley were seen at ten
o clock Friday night just otter they
left the bedside OF Mother Mckinley.
Mr.. Mckinley thinks his mother is
sinking very fast and fears that the
end is not far off.
He says she barely recognizes the
members of the family and seems to be
growing weak rapidly.
Dr. Phillips said: Mrs. Mckinley is
barely conscious and is sinking very
fast. She may not last longer than
morning, but the indications at this
time are to the contrary.
AT 2:30 Saturday morning there was
no perceptible change in Mother Nc
ki nley's condition.
President Mckinley will be in Wash
ington for the opening of congress
next Monday, whatever may be the is.
sue of his mothers illness. Although
there has never been in the history OF
the government case exactly similar,
it is generally understood by
those best informed on such mat
ters that it is necessary for the
president to be at the capital in person
for the opening of a session of congress
to receive the joint committee from the
| two houses and that until this commit.
tee has waited on the president and re.
ceived his communication the regular
business of congress can not proceed.

TRADE REVIEW,
Business Throughout the Country More
Animated Owing to Colder Weather and
the approaching Holiday Season.


Animated Owing to Colder Weather and
the approaching Holiday Season.
NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Bradstreet's Sat
urday will say:
General trade throughout the coun-
try has presented rather more aninla-
tion owing to colder weather ANA the
approaching holidays. While clothing,
dry goods, hats, shoes and notions,
hardware and fancy groceries have
been in a little better demand from
both jobbers and at retail in the region
tributary to Chicago, ST. Louis, Om ina,
St. Joseph St. Paul and Kansas City,
the tendency of business has been to
slacken. This is noticeable in iron and
steel and in further depression in cot
ton goods, print cloths having made q
new low record in price.
The appearance of a better demand
for filling in purposes has had a favor
able influence at points in Tennessee
and the gulf states. On the Pacific
coast the feature of business is we'll
maintained by export movement from
nearly all ports. The lower price for
print cloths is followed by sharp re-
action in wheat and lower price for
Indian corn. Oats are slightly higher
and coffee has advanced, in addition to
which there remains long list of
the staples, pr ices of which are un-
changed. The domestic grain trade
continues to look with equanimity on
the unprecedentedly large quantities
of wheat exported from both coasts
week after week, the continuation of
which is an evidence of the apprecia-
tion of the relation of supply
to the grain trade abroad.
The total exports of wheat
(four included as wheaD from both
coasts of the United States and from
Montreal this week aggregated $685.
96O bushels, 100000 bushels larger
than last week and within 225, ,oU0
bushels of the largest weeks exports
on record. They compare with total
exports in this week last year of $685.
900 bushels, of 8, 1856, 900 bushels in 1895;
SOIL 900 bushels in 1894, and 2,55S, 900
bushels in 1898.
Corn exports show heavy gain over
last week, aggregating d. 5S5, ,sO6 bushels
against 2,S69,000 bushels last week. L.
75S, 900 bushels last year and 1867, 20
bushels in this week of 1895.
Exports of other cereals, such as
oats, rye, barley and buckwheat, have
also been very large and the total value
of our cereal exports during the week
just closed promises to be fully $9,OOO,-
600.
There were $50 business failures re-
ported throughout the United States
this week, compared with 233 last
week, 359 in the first week in Decem-
ber, 1896, 315 in the like week of 1898,
3a2 in 1894, and as compared with $50
in the corresponding period of 1895.
There are 81 business failures reported
throughout the Canadian dominion thi,
week, compared with "a last week Al
in the week one year ago, and 80 two
years ago.
