M'KINLEY OUT EARLY.
He Made Two Speeches Before
Breakfast This Morning.

NoblesviIle Ind, Oct. 21.-President
Mckinley today addressed two immense
audiences before he had breakfast at
Logansport and Kokomo. At the latter
place the scene was one of the most
inspiring of the entire Transnississippi
tour.
In spite of the dampness and the cold
wind that swept down from the north,
tine crowd was enormous. Hundreds of
school children were present, each pro-
vided with flag, and all giving lusty
cheers for the president.
The booming of cannon and shrielting
of steam whistles aroused the president
from sleep shortly after six, and at
O'Clock he spoke to 5000 people at
Logansport Komoko was reached at
1880 and here the president was warmly
cheered by a gathering that seemed
wholly out of proportion to the size of
the town.
At Logansport the president was in
troduced by Senator Fairbanks. He
said: My Fellow Citizens-AbOut
week ago I entered your state at
O'Clock in the morning and was greeted
by tens of thousands of people in the
city of Terre Haute. An hour earlier
I met this great throng of my fellow
countrymen. But since Dewey entered
mania Day OH that early AllUA4lAAiB III
May there has been no hour too early
for the people of the United States to
assemble to rejoice over our national
victories and to manifest their desire
for an honorable peace. (Applause.)
The flag never seemed so dear to US as
it does now and it never foated over
so many places as it does now. Gap
plause.)
"a voice in the crowd: 1T will stay
I have rejoiced as I have journeyed
through the country at the PATRIOTISM
of the people. The flag of our country
is in every mans heart. (Applause-l
is in every mans heart. (Applause.)
That is a good omen for our country
Our army and our navy have done prlL-
liant service, have added new honors TO
the American name; given new mean
ing to American valor and 1t only re-
mains for US, the people, VINO IN
country like ours are mastertuA Wheh
they speak, to do the rest and 10 Wrlte
into honorable treaty the just fruttage
of this war I thank you for this call
and bid you all good morning.
At Eokomo the president spoke as
MY Fellow Citizens:-I thank you
most sincerely for your warm ana cor
dial welcome. 1 do not nlslnterpreC lts
meaning. It means that the people OF
this community are standing together
for country and for civilization Ihe
war has made US a united people. We
present a spectacle Of SeVenty-uVe NH
limos of people, representing every race
and nationality and section, united IN
one faith and under one flag, ana that
the glorious old stars and stripes we
love so much. And we must continue
to stand together, so long as we nave
any differences with another natlon,
then it will be time for US to resume our
old disptes at home. But until then
time we must stand for a common pur-
pose and stand together until the set
dement's of the war shall be embodled
into the permanent form OF pupLc
treaty"
At Tipton, which was the next stop.
the president spoke in part as fcHoWs-
my Fellow Citizens:-We have late
" had such a revival of PATRIOTISM IN
this country as we have never had since
the earliest days of our history. NoLtn
and south are now together brought,
thew own the same electric thought, in
peace a common flag salute and in war
follow a common flag wiling 70 ole
beneath it's folds. That is what the
IvaT has done for the people OF the nj
ted states What it has done for other
people is yet to be determined and as i
look into your faces, 1 know that you
would have this nation help the op-
pressed people who have by the war
been brought within the sphere or our
Influence (Great applauSe.)
The firing of the cannon in honor or
the presidential visit at KOkomo was
attended with disastrous results. James
Jones was instantly killed by its preTna-
ture explosion and another was ser
iousIy injured and may die. More than
90 stops are scheduled for today in
Guiding Indianapolis, Cincinnati and
Columbus The president viii probably
make his last address during the trip
at Newark, o., tonight. A special car
attached to the presidential train is
