M'KINLEY'S PLANS.
Hopes to Take Vacation Some Time

Hopes to Take a Vacation Some Time
In October.
Washington, Aug. 13.-President Nc
Kinley said today that the mental and
physical strain of the last few months
had been severe upon him, as upon all
officials who had been bearing the
weight of great responsibilities, and
now that the war was over and the
sufferingS that war involves were at an
end, his feeling was one of profound
thankfulness. Work in connection with
the appointment of commissioners to
negotiate a treaty Of peace, the prepar-
alton of their instructions and other
important matters, he said. probably
would necessitate his remaining in
Washington until some time in Octo-
Der, when he hoped to be able to take a
short rest. The work of the peace COM
mission might occupy month or so,
and he hoped that in his next annual
Thanksgiving proclamation he would
have the very great pleasure of an
nouncing to the people the fact that
treaty of peace had been signed.
Secretary Day spent some time at the
White House today in consultation with
the president, but later it was stated
that the conference had no reference to
the personnel of the peace commits

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Predictions of Heavy Receipts Caused
a Slump In Wheat.

Chicago, Aug. 13.-Liverpool quotations,
instead of showing any sympathy with
yesterdays higher prices on this side,
were little lower than the latest of the
day before. That gave the direction to
speculative sentiment here at the start.
First trades in September wheat were at
6624 down to 6612, against 671sQ671z, last
nights closing figure. The weather for
maturing what was still unharveSted of
the spring crop was all that could be de-
sired, and reports from the northwest
were far from encoura ging to the longs
in the market. A dispatch from up north
said it was confidently expected Mime
apoliS and Duluth would in about two
weeks be receiving an average of 400 cars
a day.. In addition 70 that, about one
hour after the opening, Minneapolis re-
ported cents a bushel drop, in price of
cash wheat to arrive. Such information
and foreShadowings of the future drove
from the minds of the traders all con-
Germ about the days actual receipts,
which were as conspicuouSly short of last
year movement as they have been for
some time. The market was kept from
getting radically weak for time by esti-
mates that Chicago would only have 100
cars of wheat Monday, but that gave way
again TO the IMPENDING free movement of
spring wheat, and the market wound up
very heavy. September closed I5sc lower

Corn was steady for September, but

During the last presidential campaign
the character of President Mckinley was

our land. They alleged that he had leased
certain property in Canton, Ohio, that had
come into the possession Of his wife

"A careful investigation, which was
made by DR.. Smith, editor Of the Pittsburg
Advocate, disclosed the fact that the lease

and design of the said corporation Is here
by declared to be the founding and MAIN
tanning of an asylum for the insane, the
entire management of which shall be
vested in the said trustees
The advocates Of the bill do not devote
much attention to the argument of their
opponents that respect for the memory of
the founder should not allow the associa-
tion in the title of another name. They
contend that Mr.. Sheppard was never par
dcularly anxious to have the asylum
named after him, as indicated by his re-
mark when the project was first discussed
that he wanted no such enduring monu-
ment to his fame.''
In the meantime there is every indication
here that barrel of money has been
opened, and that the lobby will take a
strong hand in the. attempt to defeat the
bill. Their policy will be to get as many
members as possible to abstain from vot-
ing, or to stay away, in order to prevent
the measure from securing the necessary
votes to pass it. Under the constitution of
the state. every bill must have at least 46
votes before 1t can become law no mat
ter how many are present. The votes must
be affirmative and the only danger the bill
runs Is that not enough members may vote
for it to fill the requirements of the consti-

News Received Here of the Guate-

Senor Lazo Arriaga, the Guatemala.n
minister to the United States, received an
official cablegram from the minister of
foreign affairs of Guatemala yesterday af-
ternoon announcing the assassination of
President Barrios and the succession to the

and the government departments are car

Thls last assurance, coupled with the i'm

methods of the country is a special source
of qualification to the officials of the Guate-
