M'NNtEY WALKED TO CHURCH
SPENT a QUIET SABBATH AT
SOMERSET, PA.
Villagers Turned Out to See the
President-His Niece Sang a Solo
Will Leave Today.

Somerset, Pa. Aug. 2S.-President
Mckinley came to. Somerset to pass a
restful day. and he has certainly ac-
comDlished that purpose. 1t was the
most delightful of the season here.
The president arose early and passed
All hour walking about town with his
brother. Abner. Here and there he met
ar old acquaintance, and stopped for
a short talk.
The presidents determination to at
tend the morning services at the Meth
odist church became known early, and
by the usual time for opening servises
every seat except those reserved for
the president and his party were occu-
pied.
The altar was tastefully adorned
with white chrysanthemums and .vari-
colored lilies.
Mrs. Abner Mckinley and her daugh-
ter, Mabel. drove to the church in their
carriage. and Abner Mckinley and his
distinguished brother walked. The
presidents wife did not attend.
Many citizens took positions along
the street to witness the presidents
passage to church. This caused the
executive to lift his hat formally along
the way. and he bowed gracefully to
the right and left as he passed along.
The service at the church opened
WIFI MIS-. aDllGI AlEAlIle- 1t the OI-
gan. At the close of the voluntary the
congregation rose and sang Praise
God from whom ali blessings flow"
This was followed by a hymn, Come
Thou Almighty King"
After prayer offered by Rev. DR..
YCungson. Miss Mabel Mckinley sang
a solo. her mother playing the accom-
paniment.
after another hymn by the congre-
cation. the pastor. Rev. Cameron,
preached, taking his text from the 21st
verse, II chapter of the gospel ac-
cording to Luke: The kingdom of God
is within you"
The sermon occupied about 50 min
utes and there was nothing in it to in
dictate that it had been prepared for
the occasion.
After the benediction the president
left with his brother, and walked di-
rectly to the latter's home. A drive in
the country followed. the president and
Mrs. Mckinley being accompanied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Abner Mckinley.
The president is greatly pleased with
his visit here. and regrets that it can
pot be extended. but arrangements
having been made for his visit to the
military cams at Montauk on Satur-
day, necessitates his leaving here at
noon tomorrow

A MASTERY RETREAT.
Predicted That Russia Will Yield to
England.

London, Aug. 29.-The Daily Nails
Pekin correspondent says: M. Pavlof,
the Russian charge d'affaires in China,
who has been appointed Russian min
lister to Corea, will be succeeded by
NJ. de GierS, who is at present accred-
tied to Brazil. NJ. PavlOff's removal is
generally attributed to Great Britain S
sudden change of policy, the object of
which was to impress Russia with the
advisability of recognizing our para
mountcy in the Yang Use kiang valley.
The Russian government has been
quite in accord with Great Britain
desire to limit the matters of sphere
of influence, but when on last Thurs
day il was asked permanently to re-
spect the integrity of this sphere, it
declined to give any guarantee. A
prompt demonstration on the part of
the British fleet in the gulf of Pechili
was a ready answer to this equiVoca-
ton. "
Now that Lord Salisbury has given
a plain indication of his plan of action
it is not improbable that Russia will
execute a mastery retreat from her
present position.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
Shanghai says it is reported there that
the Russians at New Chwang are try
ing to compel native owners of land
there to sell their holdings at absurdly
low prices and that in consequence of
this the Chinese are on the verge Of
an anti-Russian outbreak. The local
mandarinS are, so to speak, between
the croSs-fireS of the Russians and ma
tiVes and are helpless.
