Mckinley at Canton.

Canton, Ohio, September IA grand
demonstration occurred here at noon
today in honor of President Mckinley
and Secretary of State Day. Out OF
respect for the presidents wish that
his visit be informal, the affair was to
a considerable extent unorthoriZed and
partook largely of the nature of a
spontaneous outburst of enthusiasm.
The people of the community turned
out en- masse and from the depot to
the Barber residence, where the Nc
Kinleys are the guest of Mrs. Mckin-
ley's sister. the streets, which are
bright and cheerful with flags and
other displays of the national colors.
were a mass of humanity. The arri-
val was so near the noon hour that
employees of many factories succeeded
in securing an early shutdown and
joined the throng about the station.
President and Mrs. Mckinley were
driven direct to the Barber home where
their stay of a few hours was shorn of
all formaIity. Between 4 and 5 o'clock
they boarded a special train on the
Pennsylvania line and proceeded east

A CONFESSED EMREZZLER.
Prominent Citizen of Bath, Me-, Con .
fes>es to Having Been Stealing fol-
Fourteen Years.

Bath, Me, September 1.-Ex-Eiayor
Fritz H. Twitchell, che OF Baths most
prominent citizens and a member of
Governor Powers council and we'll
Massachusetts, is confessed embeZ-
Zler. The amount OF the embezZle-
ment is placed at 100000, but it may
exceed that sum. It is alleged that
for the past fourteen or fifteen years,
during which time Mr.. Twitchell has
been connected with the WOrumbo
Wooden Manufacturing Company, var
iOus sums have been appropriated by
him. These amounts were charged to
the expense account so that the bus
mess had not become involved at any
time. When confronted with the evil
dence, Mr.. Twitchell acknowledged
his guilt, but it is thought no prOsecu-
ton will follow, as the one most deep
ly involved is Galen S. Moses, treas
urer of the mills, who is inclined to
treat the matter as one of personal
wrong rather than an instance of
criminal intent Mr.. Twitchell, who
is at his summer home at Popham
Beach, is in very poor health. He re-
fuses to discuss the situation.
The disclosure in the case was pre-
cipitated by the personal assignment
of Mr.. Moses, which was announced
Tuesday, and in which Mr.. Moses him
self says more than 100000 worth of
property is involved.
Mr.. Twitchell was chosen mayor in
1891, and 1892. He was sent to the
legislature in 1898 and 1895, and this
year he was selected a member of the
executive council. He has been grand
commander of the Masonic command
cry of Maine and is past grand chan
cellor of the Knights of Pythias.

London, September 1.-The war Of
flee was relieved this evening by the
receipt of a dispatch from Ciaro, ex-
planning the sudden interruption of
news from the Soudan which gave
rise to some uneasiness yesterday as
to the movement of the Anglo-Egyp-
tian column now advancing toward
Omdurman under General Sir Herbert
Kitchener
1t appears that telegraphic commu-
nication was interrupted because the
wire beyond Massey Isalnd, about mid
way between Metemmeh and the
sixth cataract of the Nile had been
damaged by a severe storm.
Shortly after the arrival Of this in
telligence came the following dispatch
to the Associated Press from Massey
isalnd dated August Goth, and for
warded by messenger from the camp
at the front to Massey:
There have been glimpses Of the
enemy during the last few days and the
first skirmish took place today, when
an advance guard of cavalry located
a large body of the dervishes at sup
posed outpost near kerreri, about
eight miles north of Omdurman. The
enemy showed a disposition to fight
beating war drums and displaying bat
tie huntings The Montmorency troop
emptied a few dervish saddles, and
three gunboats steamed up the river
in front of the town and shelled thu
dervish position. The enemy's loss
could not be ascertained as the der
wishes were in a hollow; but fleeing
troops could be distinctly seen. The
army is moving slowly. yesterday it
advanced four miles in close forma-

hour later dropped anchor in For.

 London, Feb. 22.-The Marquis of Salisbury in the house of lords to-day said: My lords: Before moving the adjournment, perhaps it would be con- venient that should read telegram received from Sir Edmund Monson (the British ambassador at Paris) with ref erence to matters which have excited some attention: placed in the hands of M. Hanotaux, the French minister for foreign affairs, as soon as I could obtain an interview, a note drawing attention to the report published this morning of a French advance into So- koto. I said that if the report was correct the news must be regarded as of very serious character. M. Ha- notaux replied that he had no knowl- edge of any such proceedings, and that if anything of the kind had occurred 1t must have been done not only with out the orders of the French govern ment but against their wishes and in- structions. as they had no desire to ap- proach Sokoto. He said he did not be- lieve the news was true and he has since communicated to me the assur- ance that there are no French troops in that region" The reading of the dispatch was received with cheers.
