CHARMED With THE TRIP
MCKINLEY RETURNS TO WASHINGTON
HIGHLY GRATlFlED.
General Impression that the Trip has Cemented
Wonderfully The Good Feeling Be-
tween North and South.

Washington. Dec 20.-The Presilen-
tial party, after an absence of several
days in the South, arrived at the Penn
sylvania station over the Southern Rail
way at IL: 80 o'clock this morning exact
ly on schedule time With the exception
of Mrs. Mckinley. who was slightly in
disposed at Atlanta, every member of
the party has been in the best of health
and all pronounced the trip most enjoy
able, and IA splendid success in every
way Everywhere a stop was made the
President was received with greetings
and demonstrations of an enthusiastic
character, and during the entire week
there was not disturbing incident. The
run from Columbia, S. c., was unevent-
full. and on arrival here the splendid
train of six Pullman cars under the per-
sonal supervision of General Agent
Brown, was run up the Sixth street sid
ing, where all alighted. The President
and Mrs. Mckinley were driven to the
White House at once.
The last morning aboard the Presi
dental train was spent chiefly i'll fare
well visits paid upon each other by
members of the party. The President
received all his guests in his own car
He expressed his entire satisfaction over
the trip. In this sentiment every mem.
Der of the Cabinet aboard heartily co
incided, while Generals Wheeler and
Shafter repeated the eulogistic express
sions already made in their public
speeches. The general impression pre-
vailed that the trip had cemented to q
marvellous degree the good feeling be
tween North and South. and had brought
into prominence the excellent condition
and capabilities of the army. The ori.
ginal object Of the visit to celebrate the
peace with Spain, lost its significance
directly after the Presidents memorable
mtterances regarding the care of the Con.

dom of trade. and we would get rid OF
Il naval, military, political, racial, so
cial problem, and an everlasting,
perpetual foreign policy. Mr.. VIII
liams' remarks were listened to with
careful attention. and his colleagues gave
him hearty round of applause when
he concluded.
The Agricultural Bill was then pass
cd The provision inserted in the bill
to be used as means of retaliating
against Germany and other countries
was passed with slight amendment
which gives the Secretary of the Treas
ury discretion in refusing the delivery
of goods, adulterated or deleterious to
health instead of making refusal to de
liver such goods mandatory. The bill
carries S3,696.322, or $751; more
than the current law.
Several resolutions from the River
and Harbor Committee calling
upon the Secretary of War for estl-
mates as to the cost of certain proposed
river and harbor work were adopted. In
the list is Deep Greek, of Virginia.
The Conference report on the Army
and Navy Deficiency bill was adopted,
and at ) o'clock the House adjourned.

ley Post, 139, q. A. r., has written u
letter to the Post severely condemnine
that portion of McKmley's address at
Atlanta suggesting that it would be
proper for the Government to assist in
caring for and preservation Of Confede
rate cemeteries. The letter says:
Perhaps it is better for me to- stay
away from Grand Army gatherings for
a little time ut least until recover from
the shock of the statement recently
made by President Mckinley at Atlanta.
| love the South and her people. and no
one rejoices more than | at the splendid
spectacle of a reunited country, pre-
sented during the recent war with Spain.
But / cannot believe that it is the duty
of the nation to give the same attention
to the graves of the men who sought 70
destroy it as to the resting places of
those who died for its preservation. God
forbid that any word should come from
my lips or pen calculated to revive the
sad memories of the past. Let us ex-
tend the warm hand of fellowship to our
Southern brothers. Let us give to them
ungrudingly of our love. But let us not
do any act or approve any policy from
which future generations may infer that
the great American Republic in the clos
ing years of the nineteenth century had
become so blind that she could not dis
tinguish between her saviors and her
would-be destroyers."

THE NORMAN QUESTION.

New York. Dec. 20-There were about
200 persons present at the meeting OF
the WOman's Board of Home Missions
of the Presbyterian church in this city
to-day The object of the meeting was
to inaugurate an aggressive campaign to
prevent the seating of Brigham III. Rob
erts, an avowel polygamist. as represent
tative from Utah in the Fifty-Sixth Con-
gress.
Eugene Young, a grandson of Brigham
Young, spoke. He said among other
things:
There seems to be a disposition in
the East, particularly among the politi-
clans, but even among thep churches, 20
treat the revival of the Mormon issue as
a minor matter. There is an inclination
to view the election to Congress of Il.
III. Roberts-a three or four ply polyga
mist. still living in polygamy, as an un-
avoidable outcome of that condition in
Utah and n mere question of personal
morality. Some day they will see, as
those who know Mormon ambitions see
now, that Mr.. Roberts is a mere instru-
ment, the representative of mighty
forces. They will learn that through his
election people three hundred thousand
strong have turned from American lib
erty and American morality and have
taken the initial step toward the estab
lishment of a hierarchy, foreign to our
institutions and our social laws, in the
midst of our republic. If the dragging
polygamy into the House of Representa-
tives, Mr. Roberts is representing the de-
fiant sentiment of the whole Mormon
people. then the people must not rest
until Congress has cast him ont as
warning TO all covenant breakers and
polygamists."
