President Mckinley is likely to have q
chance to take vacation soon, and he
needs and deserves one as much as any
Woodworking man in America. He has
not had a moments rest since the Cuban
troubles eliminated last winter, and has
labored from sixteen to eighteen hours
day, seven days in the week, during the
intense heat that has driven from Wash,
ington everybody who was not compelled
to stay there. Thus far this has been the
hottest summer known in Washington for
many years, and the heat has been aggra-
waited by unprecedented humidity. The
President and Mrs Mckinley both have
endured the ordeal in n remarkable man,
ner. He has fortunate disposition and
can endure heat and fatigue better than
most men, while she enjoys hot
weather. and during some of the torrd
nights. while other people were painting
for breath, has sat complacently under
the portico of the White House with
shawl over her shoulders.
The President has no definite plans far
Their than that he has promised to Visit
his brother Abner, who has taken cot
tage near Long Branch for the summer,
and he will probably run down there win
Mrs. Mckinley for a few days as soon as
he can get away.

London, Aug. 23.-Henry Labou-

ing army would be necessary II the
United States We're to embark on Il
spirited foreign policy of annexation.
This army" he declares, would
soon crush out democracy ut home and
in the end some popular general would
feel 1t his duty to save society by max
ing himself such n president as the con-
stitution never contemplated.
1.-THE Old World" he continues. Gin
Its dealings with the New. assumes an
attitude of condescension as ridiculous
as it Is unwarranted. One of the sd
lent features of the late war was the
honest. generous and chivalrous con-
duct of the United States government
forces and people from the beginning to
the end of the campaign. 1t is only
just to express the general feeling of
admiration which the new chivalry has
created throughout Europe"

The Navy Department has not yet

to Omaha for Colorado Day has been
adopted by the Western Passenger AS

September 18th, good for trains Sep
TENDER 9TH and Sth, for continuous
passage, with n ten-day return limit.
Tickets will be of the sebastian"
form. requiring their deposit In Omn-

mileage OF $40 miles to Omaha, and
so the fare from Denver, Colorado
Springs or Pueblo will be S1OSO.
The Colorado roads have agreed up
on n rnte of one fare for the round trip
to connect ut common points for Omn-
In. Some Of the trunk lines wanted
1-cent rate for all over the state, but
this the mountain roads could not see
their way to grant. AS 1t Is, the fare
from the most extreme part of the
state to Omaha and return will be
about $50. and, Of course, much less
from points near Denver. 1t Is be-
lieved by the railroad men that the Mt

most important subject before the Cab
met meeting to-day was the instruc-
tons to he given to the Cuban and Por-
to Rican military commissions. a set
of Instructions In each case had been
prepared and We're read mt the meet
ing. but MS they We're found not to con-
form in several particulars. to the views
of the Cabinet. they will be recast on
somewhat different lines within the
next two or three days and presented to
the President for his approval. 1t is
said that these Instructions will deal
almost entirely with matters of detail.
The commission will be charged with
providing troops for the occupation Of
cities and towns MS rapidly as the Span
ish forces are withdrawn: the collec-
ton of the customs and other revenues
and the maintenance of peace; they
will receive the arms md other public
property surrendered by the Spaniards,
and exercise all of the functions of
government over the surrendered terri
tory until such time as the President
shall otherwise decide. 1t is believed
that the commissioners TO both Cuba
and Porto Rico will be ready to sail for
their posts of duty within the next few
days.
