FACSIMILE HOMES OF
MKINLEY AND BRYAN.
Their Dwellings to Be Reproduced
at the Omaha Exposition
Grounds

OMAHA, March Ex-senator John M.
Thurston, chairman of the Senate Com
mfttee on Expositions, recently suggested
that the Mckinney home at Canton be
reproduced as the Ohio State building on
the grounds of the Mississippi Ex-
position at Omaha. The board of man
ayers approved the idea The building
when constructed will be used as place
OF reception for OhioanS, and it is pro-
OF the late campaign, avoiding as far as
possible anything savoring of PARTISAN
ship.
Noting the action of the board of man
ayers, the friends of William Jennings
Bryan lost no time in putting in prop
Bryan homestead at Lincoln. Citizens Of
Lincoln, Nebr., addressed a communica-
ton to the exposition authorities asking
for permission to place on the exposition
grounds a duplicate of Mr.. Bryan's home
stead and to exhibit therein campaign
said to have no less than a carload.
Yesterday the board of managers
unanimously voted authority to the
buildings and grounds department to al
low the space for such building, making
a. proviso, as was done in the case of the
Mckinley homestead, that the exhibits
be non-competitive and not for sale.
Thirty-f1ve States to date have organ
lied for participation New York, Ken
lucky and Tennessee are the latest COM
mittees appointed. DR.. Chauncey NJ De-
pew heads the committee of the Empire
State, and writes to the management that
he will aid in placing a large state ex-
hibit. State committees for Pennsyl-
vania, Massachusetts and Rhode Island
will soon be announced. Agents in
Canada and Mexico report those govern
ments to be preparing comprehensive ex-
hibitS.

PRESIDENT M'KlNLEY
LISTENS TO A SERMON.
DR.. Hugh Johnson Discourses on the
War Outlook and the Duty of
Americans.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-President
Mckinley occupied his pew at the Metro
politan Church this morning and listened
to sermon by DR.. Hugh Johnson, his
pastor, which dealt at some length and
quite directly with the problem which so
thoroughly engrosses the Presidents
mind. He took the Spanish situation for
his text and during his discourse said:
Zone thing is certain, we shall not have
war unless there is absolute justification
of it. The dignity and honor of the ma
ton shall be upheld and American loyalty
but the calm and firm attitude Of the
Chief Executive assures us that neither
by perjudice, passion, popular clamor,
hysteria nor ambition will this nation be
involved in a deadly strife. Secure from
invasion with ineXhaustible wealth and
resources, with a people full of the mar
tial spirit and able to put ten millions of
soldiers into the fields and cover the seas
with battleships, what have we to fear
from a bankrupt nation that cannot even
subdue twenty or thirty thousand ragged,
ill-fed and poorly equipped Cuban insurg-
entS; or even from an alliance of France
and all the Latin nations against US?
Come the three corners of the world in
arms and we shall shock them
But this power is controlled by intelli-
and only stern duty to its humanity and
civilization, just relations to our fellow
men and national honor will lead US to
let loose the dogs of war. Desiring and
praying for peace, let us hope the extent
and vigor of the war preparations will
avert the conflict and assist the cause Of
peace

HUNTINGTON SHOWS A
STREAK OF PATRIOTISM.
Orders Work Commenced on a Nam
moth Drydock on His Own
Responsibility.

CINCINNATI, March ia special
TO the Commercial Tribune from New
port News, Va, says: Coils P. Hun
tington, principal owner of the Newport
News Ship building and Drydock Com
pany, has given instructions to COM
mence work on the mammoth dry dock
at once. This determination on the
multi-millionaires part is the result of
a conference held in Washington last
week between his lieutenant, Calvin b.
circuit, president of the ship-building
company, and Secretary Long.
Mr.. Huntington will accept no sub
sidy from the Government. He will
furnish the 81, O00, 900 or more necessary
to build the dock and will keep in close
touch with his aids from San Francis
co, whence he will go in few days.
The dock will be, when completed, 900
feet in length and 80 feet in breadth. 1t
will be constructed after the most mod
ern ideas, and will be capable of receiv-
ing two of the largest battleships at
one time. 1t is understood that 1000
men will be employed at once TO push
the work to completion. All of the nee
essary soundings have been made and
the material will be ordered at once.
The site for the new basin will be di-
rectly north of the present dock, which
is now the largest in American waters,
although lacking a few feet of being
| able to receive the first class battle
ships of the navy. The new dock will
be the largest on the continent.

PROCURING WAR SUPPLIES
Strongh Odds Being Strengthened for
Resistance Of Government
Forces.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, March 13.-Oriental adj
vices received to-day on the steamship
Argyle state that the pirates who in
fest Canton and vicinity are becoming
holder and no longer hesitate to add
murder to their other deeds of violence.
The pirates have become exasperated
over the efforts of the celebrated black
flag general to capture them. Recently
they captured junk laden with arms
and ammunition intended for this gen.
erals soldiers. The junk was proceed
ing up West River when a party of
pirates succeeded in boarding her at
landing place. The supplies were taken
to the pirate stronghold and distrib-
uted among a hundred fellow pirates.
This event has given courage to the
desperadoes, while causing much alarm
at Canton.
A junk which had been up the river
with a cargo of rice and was returning
with the proceeds in silver was cap
tured near Shansha. The captain and
part of the crew were murdered, sew
eral sailors being permitted to live on
condition that they would turn pirates
The pirates secured both the silver and
the junk.
On another occasion several Canton
gentlemen engaged a small steamer to
take them sixty miles on a hunting
expedition. While they were inland the
pirates seized their boat and all their
belongings. The hunting party waited
for several days before they learned
what had happened or could procure
another craft to take them home.
The pirates are said to be strength
ening their strongholds and procuring
war supplies sufficient to last them for
years. Their idea is that if China be-
comes involved in another war they
will have abundant opportunity to
plumber the richest sea coast towns.
Should European war ships be sent
after them in a war of determination,
as many hope will be done, they pur-
pose taking refuge in Formosa or
some island in the Esiatic Archipelago
Only two pirates have been captured
in some time, and they were promptly
babeaded

POWER FOR MANY TOWNS.
Waters of the Kaweah River to Be
Harnessed by Man.

VISALIA, March 13.-An important in
dustrial enterprise has just been per-
fected here by William H. Hammond.
Mayor of the city, and A G.. Wishon,
manager of the water works. With them
is associated w. G.. Henshaw of the
Union National Bank of Oakland. Thess
gentlemen propose to bring electric force
amounting to 1900 horsepower to Visalia
from a point in the mountains thirty
miles east of here. They will utilize the
waters of the Kaweah River for that
power, building plant on the river and
conducting the power to the city by wire.
The plant and its appurtenances will
cost 5000 900 and 1t is expected active work
will be begun in few days. By the 1st
of next August the promoters expect to
have lights burning and wheels humming
in Visalia.
Not only this town, but several of the
neighboring towns, such as Tulare, Por-
tervilIe, Lindsay and Exeter, will be sup
piled with power. The present electric
light plant here will probably be alb
sorbed by the new company, as will the
water works, as the price of electric
lights and the cost of running machinery
will be greatly reduced.
Mr.. Hammond will be in San Francisco
on Monday to see about the incorporation
of the company, which will start with
about $500, 900 capital stock.

The Legislature is still harassing the
ministry with questions. They are de-
termined, especially the members of the
House, to ascertain to the minutest de-
tail how the Government has been con-
Quoted for the past five years before
they proceed to actual legislation. They
cannot understand why the Govern
ment has not insisted upon the planters
obeying the law by bringing in a pro-
portionate number of white laborers for
every hundred Asiatics, and they
clamor for the general enforcement OF
the bonds given by the plantation
agents. 1t is understood that the plant
ers prefer to pay the penalties on the
bonds to introducing the labor re-
quired, owing to the difficulty of pro-
curing a suitable class.
The continued ill-health of Captain
James a. King, Minister of the Interior,
has compelled him to take a voyage to
Australasia and return. He is broken
down by hard work. Unfortunately
his chief clerk, Major John A. Has
singer-the John A. Russell of Hawaii

also been sick from the same cause.

been intrusted to the ubiquitous Min
lister of Foreign Affairs, who has hel1

HARDNESS OF OFFICIALS.
Wait Until Neighbors Conclude an
Investigation Before They
Take Action.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA. March 1.-TWO weeks ago
Henry King. a wealthy rancher of
Yelm Thurston County, was murdered,
apparently for his money. His muir
derers secured everything valuable, in
Guiding his watch, and then set fire to
his house. So carefully was this done
that the first search revealed no trace
of Kings remains, and the neighbors
concluded he had gone away the day
before the fire. Three days later he
had not returned, and more thorough
investigation was made. In corner of
q dark room searchers discovered his
bones and skull A deputy coroner who
was sent over from Olympia hastily
removed the remains, but practically
no official investigation was made.
On Friday the neighbors again took
the matter in hand. making the first
critical examination of the entire prem
ises. They found that the deputy cor
oner IN his haste had left a portion OF
Kings skull on the spot where the body
had lain. On a piece or board which
the remains had prevented the fire from
completely consuming blood was DIS
covered. and on some moss similarly
protected IrOln Tic tilC iiAoAC 1AOON
stains were found. In the ashes where
the body had lain they found bullet.
The committee is satisfied that King
was murdered. Several weeks ago he
returned from Olympia with winters
sr1pply of provisions and considera bic
money he had drawn from the bank for
use in buying cattle. Not a remnant or
burned provisions Of any kind did the
neighbors discover, but trail of beans
was found leading for some distance
away from the house. No charred rem
nants of clothing or bed clothes were
discovered. and not coin nor even
pocket knife, after a most careful
search among the enhers. A clay pipe
near the remains and an oil can were,
save the cook stove. all that remained
of the mans belongings.
Robbery was thus plainly the motive
Of the murder. but it is doubtful II the
murderers can be traced at this late
day. They were presumably members
of the army of criminals now travel
ing between Portland and Puget Sound
in consequence of the Klondike rush.
Yelm is on the railroad line to Port
land, and directly on the route of such
travel.
Yesterday Sheriff Billings and Prose
cutting Attorney Mitchell drove to Yelm
from Olympia, and are still making an
investigation. King was unmarried,
and had relatives in Canada.

UNCLE SAM AFTER TH0S E
BRAZILIAN CRUISERS.
Negotiations for the Purchase Of
Two New Warships Practically
Concluded.

NEW YORK, March ia Washing
ton special to the Herald says: Two
vessels of the Cincinnati class of cruz
sers-the Amazonas and her sister ship
will in all probability be added to the
American navy within the next forty
eight hours Only formal consent of
the Brazilian Government stands in the
way Of the successful contamination Of
negotiations for the purchase OF these
ships. In view of the fact that the
Washington authorities have received
assurances that this consent will not be
withheld, they confidently believe that
the American union-jack will be run up
on the mastheads Of these vessels by
next Tuesday. Commander w. H.
Brownson. the naval commissioner sent
abroad. will arrive in England on that
day. and he will hasten to Elswick to
make an inspection and see that the
ships are in all respects of the best pos
Sible character.
So far as the Armstrong;, builders of
the Brazilian ships, are concerned, the
authorities have been assured by Lieu
tenant J. C. Colwell, q. S. N, now in
London, who has been conducting the
negotiations, that they will be satisfied
TO part WITH LflG sSSSClS, PROVIDED the
Brazilian Government is willing 1t is
suggested in naval circles that the Bra
lillian authorities may only consent to
the sale of the ships on condition that
the Armstrong; build them two others.
with all the improvements Of design
and battery which have been made
since the Amazonas and her sister ship
were laid down. The result of such an
agreement would necessitate payment
by the United States of a much larger
price TO the Armstrong;, with a bonus
to Brazil, than has been heretofore es-
timated.
1t is the general impression among
officials. however, that Brazil will be
glad to get rid Of the ships AS the
Herald said this morning, they were
offered to the United States a few
weeks ago at comparatively low val
uation, the price being less than the
cost of the Cincinnati and Raleigh,
which were built in the Government
Navy Yard. 1t has been roughly esti-
mated by an official in position to
know that this Government would have
to pay about $40 per ton for each
craft, which would bring their total
cost, complete in all respects and ready
for sea, to between $3,000,000 and S4.-
Geo 600. This would be quite a large in
crease over the original price at which
this Government could have bought
them.
In order to obtain consent of the Bra
lillian Government the Embassy In
London and the legation in Rio Janeiro
are making representations to the Bra
lillian Minister to England and the Bra
lillian Government.
