NOT LEFT WASHINGTON
BEFORE SINCE THE WAR WAS
THREATENED.
He WILL HAVE A QUIET TIME
With no Ceremonies Attached viii Make a
Short Step at Middletown but Will not
Review the Troops Stationed
at Camp Meade.

Washington, ID. c., August %
President Mckinley announced this
afternoon that he will leave Washing
ton for Somerset, Pa, at 8 o'clock next
Saturday morning to visit his brother,
Mr.. Abner Mckinley. He will spend
Sunday there, and on the way will stop
off at Camp Meade, Middletown Pa,
for about half an hour.
This will be the first vacation Presi-
dent Mckinley has taken since the war
was threatened 1t will be of very
short duration, occupying in all, accord
ing to present plans less than Il fort
night He will leave here at 8 o'clock
Saturday morning on Il special train
of Pullman cars. Mrs. Mckinley will
be with him, and they will have Il small
party of friends as guests. The Presi-
dents wish is to have as little display
and publicity of his movements as posi-
bic, he desiring quiet trip unhampered
by ceremonies. Accordingly, his plans as
made up do not include a general review
of the troops at Camp Meade. The
train en- route to somerset will make Il
short stop at Middletown, where the
President has planned to stay about
half an hour. or just long enough TO
look over the camp. but not to stay
long enough to warrant any general eX-
ercises. This is due to his personal
inclination to omit all ceremony He
. will next proceed direct to his brOther's
home to remain over Sunday. Beyond
that point his plans are not finally set
tied. He has promised to make Il visit
to Camp Wikoff. ut Montauk Point, l..
L., when the condition of the troops will
permith them to march in review and
it is possible that he may go there next
week He has special desire to see
the heroes of Santiago, and will en-
deavor to reach Montauk ut as early a
date as their physical condition war
rants.

THAT HAS NEVER LED TO ANY
THING BUT ILL AND
TROUBLE.
ARRA'GNS THE CONDUCTS OF THE WAR
As a Spectacle cf Incompetency in Failing to
Provide for the Sick and Wounded. We
Have Lost the Boon of Peace and
Cotton Only an Enormous Debt,

Ashefeld, Mass, August 25.-The
twentieth annual dinner in aid of San
derson Academy was given this after
noon with Charles Elliot Norton, Pro-
fessor Emeritus, of Fine Arts of Har-
ward University, presiding.
The principal address was by Professor
Norton, who devoted himself to a discus
sion of the late war. He said in part
"And yet our hearts have been heavy
with new weight of care and the very
brightness of the sunshine has but deep
cned by contrast the cloud of our sorrow
full thOught-sOrrowfu that our nation
should have turned its back upon its
old ideals, and, standing at the parting
ways, should have chosen that ancient
path familiar to the ola world, worn
by the bloody feet of hapless genera
tions and which has never led to any
thing but ill-the path of aggressive war,
of foreign conquest, of alien territorial
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, the path that leads
from trouble to trouble.
THE black and brutal visage of war
has indeed been lighted up from time
to time during the summer by the gallant
deeds of our men in service and by the
good conduct and marvellous good fortune
of our navy. and by the general temper
of humanity displayed so soon as the
actual fight was over by both officers
and men. But it has taken on Il deeper
shade Of gloom from the needless suffer
ings which our brave soldiers have had
to endure from the lack Of due provision
for their needs alike i'll camp, on field
,ryI in, hrss t,I hag 81 mic
able spectacle of incompetency, for
which account must be rendered and
penalty eXacted."
After review of the events leading
up to the war, Professor Norton said:
Peace has nominally come. The ac-
tuaI conflict has ended. but less than 100
days of war has resulted in revolution
in the United States The foundations
on which the Republic has rested have
been unsettled, the principles upon which
the Government depends have been viola
ted; we have undertaken obligations
which neither our Institutions nor our
national character enable us properly to
discharge, we, the one great military
power in the world, have suddenly joined
the ranks of the nations burdened with
great armies and navies; we have loaded
ourselves with IN enormous additional
debt. and with an enormous increase Of
annual expenditures permanent and OPP
pressive tax upon the industry Of the peo-
pie, and further. whatever disposition
may be made of the Philippines, we are
already, through holding them and claim
ing the right to dispose of them, brought
into entanging relations with the nations
of the old world and run the risk of
losing the incstimable boon which has
hitherto been ours, of freedom in the
complications of the international poll
tics of the old world, and of remaining
the Independent masters of our own for
tunes. 1t is, indeed, momentous revo-
lution."'

ENGLISH-RUSSIAN SITUATION.

London, Aug 25-The dispatch cabled
from London to New York to the effect
that Lord Salisbury before leaving for
France informed her Majesty, the Queen,
that in the present critical state of the
relations with Russia he must resign
unless her frequently expressed veto up
on the prosecution of diplomacy to the
point Of war during her lifetime was
withdrawn and he was given an absu-
lutely free hand; and that thereupon
the ministry made definite proposals to
Russia, which, in effect amounted to an
ultimatum, is an elaboration Of the cur4
rent gossip of the clubs and the sensa-
tional weekly newspapers, and is obvious
ly impossible of confirmation or denial.
Circumstantial evidence all goes to dis
prove the statements.
England abandoned the open door pol
icy because Russia closed the door in
her face. as has been pointed out and
retreated to the policy of spheres of in
huence because it is necessary to appear
to have some Chinese policy.
Two British ships were withdrawn
from Chinese waters yesterday.
