CHEERS FOR M'KINLEY
SUNDAY CROWD BLOCKS HIS CAR
RIAGE IN A PATERSON PARK.
The President, with the Wife of Vice
President Hobart, Attends Church
and Passes a Quiet Day.

PATERSON, N. j., Sept. 4-President
Mckinley spent a very quiet day here. He
attended morning services at the Church of
the Redeemer in company with Mrs Ho-
bart. In anticipation of his attendance the
church was well filled, and after the service
the President shook the hands of the min
lister and a large number of members of the
congregation.
Owing to the intense heat of the afternoon
the President remained quietly at the home
of Vice President Hobart until o'clock.
when he went for a drive with Vice Presi-
dent and Mrs. Hobart. A number of curious
persons had been lettering around all the
afternoon to catch sight of the President,
and when he emerged from the house ne
was greeted with cheer.
AS the carriage containing the President
and Vice President was driven through
East-side Park it encountered an immense
crowd, assembled there to hear the concert
of the Second Regiment band.
The presidential party was Immediately
recognized, the band struck up the Presi-
dents march, and the crowd made a rush
for the side of the drive. Park rules were
forgotten, and the crowd trampled down
grass and flower beds in the anxiety to get
a glimpse of the executive. The carriage
was forced to such slow pace that a num-
Der of persons were enabled to grasp the
Presidents hand. Leaving the park, fol-
lowed by cheers from the people, the Pres
ident was taken to the North Jersey Coun-
try Club and shown over the house and
grounds. This evening was spent quitely at
the Vice Presidents residence.

FREE-FOR-ALL CONVENTION.
POpulists Expected to Have a TrOub-
lOus Time at Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, o., Sept. 4.-The Populist
national convention that convenes here at
a. m. tomorrow is not likely to be har-
monious. The Illinois delegation, consist
ing of the state chairman and three Others
had a conference tonight with J. A. Park
er, of Kentucky, and a number of local
Populsts The Illinois delegates said they
were instructed not to go into a regular
nominating convention at this time, but
simply to participate in a national confer
ence of the middle e-of-th -roaders. Dele
gates from Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky and
Ohio, who are not thus instructed stated
after the conference that they were op-
posed to admitting the Illinois delegates
under such instructions. After the Populist
conference in Omaha last June, the national
organization, headed by Chairman Milton
Park, of Dallas, boted and called a national
convention at Cincinnati at this time for
the reorganization of the Populist party.
This call was afterward withdrawn. but
Wharton Barker, of Philadelphia, j. A.
Parker, of Louisville, and others insisted
that the call was not legally withdrawn
and that the convention will be held al
though there has been no regularity or uni
formity in the selection of delegates. 1t
will be a mass convention with free-for-all
contests.

immeasurably proud Of its marvellous


achievement.
1.-THE President was particularly solicItous
about the condition Of the men who are ILL.,
He went to Camp Wikoff to ascertain for
himself whether the men in the ranks need
ed anything that they were not getting.
His orders were that they should want for
nothing, but he desired personally to know
whether those orders Were being carried
out. After several hours of patient investi-
CATION and careful examination he left
camp satisfied that the men were being as
well cared for as they could be in a field
hospital. He took no officials word for any
thing. He had gone to the camp to see for
himself and his conviction as to the condi-
tions was reached only after he had come
in personal contact with those conditions.
In the hospitals he went from ward to ward,
almost from cot to cot. stopping every few
seconds to talk to the sick men and cheer
them with kind expression or a grasp of
the hand. Tt was an experience not soon to
be forgotten. Such visit as President Nc
Kinley made to Camp Wikoff yesterday is
almost unique in military annals. He went
to the camp equipped with knowledge, judg
ment and experience to make an investiga-
ton. He had served in the camp and in
the field himself and he knew just what
ought to be expected in the circumstances.
That ne was reasonably we'll satisfied with
the conditions as he found them is in itself
a guarantee that they are not far wrong.
Conditions have changed materially dur
ing the third of a century since the civil
war. This was noted especially by every
one of the old soldiers in our party yester-
day. In the hospitals at Camp Wikoff the
patients have plenty of ice, milk lemons
seen in the field hospitals during the last
war. Then, too each cot is supplied with
fresh, clean sheets and pillow cases every
day, and there are trained female nurses
to look after the wants of every patient
These things now are the tribute grateful
government pays to its splendid soldiers.
who. in adding lustre to the fame of their
country, have won for themselves a glory
that time will not DIM"
Secretary Alger said there was no inten-
tion of abandoning Camp Wikoff. The
troops, will be kept there so long as it may
be dedmed desirable to keep up the camp.
He pointed out that 1t was essentially
detention camp a place of recuperation. and
not a camp of mobilization. Naturally,
therefore. as soon as 1t had served it's pur-
pose it would pass away as a military camp.
rumor was given some currency that
the camp, having been found by the Presi-
dent to be unsuitable for its purpose. was
to be abandoned Immediately. This Secre-
tary Alger pronounced to be without foun-
dation. 1t probably grew out of the order
issued by the President that the regulars
at Camp Wikoff. whose former posts had
been east of the Mississippi river. proceed
as soon possible to their old stations Sec
retary Alger said that this order had been
decided upon ten days ago, and had no pos
sible relation to the condition of the camp.

SURGEONS ON THE CARPET.
How Gen. Wheeler Ripped the Red
Tape OF mt Camp WjkoR.

CAMP WIKOFF, J.. l., Sept. 4.-Since
General Wheeler began to get the run of
this camp, bringing system out of chaos,
things have been much better for the SOL
diers and there have been fewer complaints.
A few days ago when General Wheeler sum-
moned Colonel Forwood and all of the regi-
mental surgeons to his headquarters and
told them that he had received a complaint
of a lack Of medicine from all sides, the
principal complaint having been made by
DR.. Woods, of General Ames's division, he
demanded to know from each surgeon
whether this was true or not, and each and
every one replied that it was. Then turning
to Colonel Forwood. he said:
How about this? Didn't you tell me
that there was enough medicine here for
everybody"
Il did. and there is plenty" said Colonel
Forwood. THE whole trouble is that the
regimental surgeons don't send for it. If
they send for it they will get it,
Then you have enough for the present?'
said General Wheeler. Il have sent for
more and it will be here before long. Now.
