President Mckinley 10 Personally
Investtgate Conditions nj Camp
Wikoff.

Cleveland, O.. Aug. 31.-While Presi-
dent Mckinley very much desires TO
pay more than a brief visit TO his old
home in Canton, he fnds that the du-
ties of his office are such that hs will
be Obliged to cut his visit there TO a
mere call.
The president will spend a couple
of days in camp at Montauk Point and
Camp Wikoff, SO as to correctly inform
himself as TO the condition of affairs
and the truth Of the reports that have
been circulated, from personal OBJ
servation and contact with the men.
The presidential party will be at Col.
Myron L. Herrick's residence, The
Overlook" on Euclid heights, in this
city, until Thursday morning. when
they will leave for Canton.
Big preparations have been made to
receive President and Mrs. McKin-
ley there by their old friends and neigh
bors and the people Of Canton in gem
eral. 1t was the intention to make
the occasion a civic jubilee. All this,
however, will now be reduced in a
measure from the fact that President
Mckinley and party will only be in
Canton for two or three hours. and
will then take train for New York.
Undoubtedly the president will be
given royal welcome during his short
stop-over in Canton.
On the eastern trip. which is part
OF the pr gramme outlined, the presi-
Dental party will hardly stop longer
at New York than will be necessary TO
catch a train for Camp Wikoff and
Montauk Point.
The president will probably be in
camp al the two places mentioned on
Friday and Saturday. leaving Mrs. Nc.
