DRAMATIC INCIDENT.
Mckinley and Wheeler Pose in Histor-
 ic Tableau at Savannah.

Savannah, Ga., December 19.-An intense ly dramatic incident occurred during Presi- dent McKineys visit to the Georgia State Agricultural and Mechanical college (col- ored), yesterday The hall was crowded with negroes. The president, in the course of his speech, was telling the story of a col ored sergeant. His colonel had delivered the flag to him with this injunction: Ser geant, place in your hand this sacred flag. Fight for it; yes, die for it; but never sur- render it to the hands of the enemy" "That black soldier" said the president, with love of country and pride in his heart answered: T will bring the flag back in honor colonel; CT report to God the reason why" In one battle in carrying that flag of freedom, he was stricken down. He fell with the folds of that flag wrapped about him, bathed in his blood. He did not bring it back, but God knew the reason why.
 "At San Juan hill and at -fsl Caney'-at this juncture the presidents voice choked with emotion. With an effort he half turned and extending his arm towards Gen. eral Wheeler, said:
 "But here is General Wheeler, he was there. He can tell you better than can.'
 The effect was electrical The audience went wild. General Wheeler started as if to arise, but realizing the impropriety of in terrupting the president, even to thank him, sank back. The president, with fine tact, realizing his embarrassment, took a step forward and extended his hand. General Wheeler arose and grasped it.
 For full minute the ex-federal soldier and the ex-confederate soldier stood with clasped hands, looking each other squarely in the eye and smiling, while the former slave race surrounding them shrieked cheer upon cheer. It was an historic picture.

ROBSON STAR AT
 KISSING CARNIVAL Kansas City Affair 0vershadowed
 all Past 0scuIatory Events. FAIR MISSOURI MAIDENS
To the Number of 2e7 Filed by the Ala bamian and Received the Merri- mac Salute -ExpectedI It and
 Were Not Disappointed.

Kansas City, Mo-, December 19.-Lieuten- ant Richmond Pearson Hobson. United States navy, was the central figure in an osculatory carnival at the Coates hotel this afternoon that clearly overshadowed any of the kissing affairs in which the gallant Alabamian has figured since his return from more serious duties at Santiago. When Lieutenant Hobson arrived from Chicago at 2 o'clock this afternoon he was cheered by several hundred persons who had gathered at the railway station. A reception com mittee waited with carriages and all along the route from the station to the hotel the Merrimac commander was recognized and cheered. The streets in the vicinity of the hotel were crowded. In the corridor of the hotel, supported by the local reception com mittee, Lieutenant Hobson received and shook hands with sevral hundred men. The more exciting part of it came a few minutes later, when the lieutenant was escorted to the parlor on the second floor, where over four hundred wonien-young, old. handsome and plain, waited to greet the popular hero. Most of them came to be kissed and 267 of them by actual count were not disap- pointed. Some of the more maternal of them received a cordial hankshake and were passed up the line, but the younger element who showed the least inclination were embraced and kissed. Tonight Lieu tenant Hobson divided honors with Major General A. R. Chaffee. they being guests of honor at the annual banquet of the Kan sas City Commercial club. General Chaffee, who has been in the city for several days responded to the toast "The Fifth Army Corps in Cuba"
 Lieutenant Hobson spoke to the toast, "The American Navy"
 After the banquet Lieutenant Hobson de- parted for Denver, en route to San Fran cisco and Manila.

 The socialist delegates were again sat down upon today. They urged the federa- tion to send delegates to an international trades union congress to be held in Paris in 1900. A delegate asked of Messrs. Thorne and Inskip, the fraternal delegates here from the British trades congress, their opinion of the proposed congress. The Englishmen both expressed the opinion that it would be composed chiefly of socialists, and advised the federation to have nothing to do with it. Their recommendations were concurred in by an overwhelming vote.

RUSSIAN LOAN.
Decided Not to Float the Czar's Paper
 in This Country

New York. December s.-Information con- corning the Russian government loan sought to be placed in this country was given out today by J. & w. Seligman & Go. This firms London representatives cabled to the New York house asking whether CT not they could place 4 per cent. three-year Russian railway bonds, guaranteed by the Russian government The matter was considered and decided in the negative. Isaac N. Seligman sad today:
 Russian government per cent. bonds are selling in this market at. between 102 and 104 The bonds of the Russian govern ment are generality taken in this country in exchange for concessions by that gov ernment. For instance the life insurance companies of this city probably own $5,- 00O,0O0 to s7,e00,000 which they have pur- chased from the Russian government and hold in pursuance to a contract with the Russian government permitting them to transact a lfe insurance business in Russia.
 ''We made careful inquiry among bank CTS in this city and although we found some bankers prepared to take an interest in the proposed loan at the same time we did not find sufficient interest taken by others and so dropped the business. We do not think that the present moment is opportune for selling Russian bonds in this country. If the favorable balance of trade continues, however, it is not improbable that within a year or two these bonds can be placed ad- vantageousy in our market"
