washington. ID. C, Sept. 6.-The
President and Mrs. Mckinley are Tow
completing all the arrangements for
their fall outing in the West. The main
objective points OF the trip win be the
Yellowstone park and the omaha ex-
posItion But the present intention Of
the chief executive and Mrs. Mckinley
q. IN also nav brief visits 10 several
Important Rocky mountain cities. The
president has been under promise 20
make this visit for some time, and only
about a year ago arrangements had
rprogressed nearly as far as they nave
shis year. only to be afterward aban-
Noned. II is vet too early TO give any
thing resembling a reliable itinerary or
che trim. The president has received
many hearty advance assurances OF the
great pleasure II will give the stro?g
men and good women Of this rugged
region 20 have the president and his
wife among them. II is said by those
near TO the presidents family mat
Mrs. Mckinley has particularly eN,
pressed a wish to visit the park anu
that she looks forward with especial
pleasure to that part OF her VISIT.
Governor Smith has Joined with the
chief executives OF Wyoming, ldahor
Utah, Colorado and South Dakota : n
writing the president 10 make the Oma-
6a visit. and in several OF the letters
the governors express the hope thdt
the president will not skip their states
an his srip to the Farther West.
Ii r. an interesting feature or the
newly appointed Industrial commission
that 81 is the purpose Of the admins

dts members, very prominent upon ~
He will probably be It's secretary. n
Senator KYLE is slated for its chair
man. North Is the tariff expert. who
WAS the confidential clerk Of the senate
finance committee and who did so much
20 keen the terms Of the D~ingley-Ali-
son act acceptable to the wool manu-
sacturers. 1t will he remembered thal
Senate Lee Mantle made some very
sharp observations In the senate on
This subject. These remarks did not
prove very acceptable to &. y. d. North
snd some OF his friends. Now North
becomes a presidential member or the
very commission Of which Mantle ls a
vice-presidential appointee. II remains
20 be seen whether North viii have as
much 70 saw in the compilation Of the
report of the Industrial commission as
he did in the work OF the finance com
mittee. He gets well paid as an INDUS
trial commissioner. He got nothing tat
least from the government for his ser
vices with the finance committee. Sen

ate limited that North was handsomely
earning his salary as secretary Of the
National Wool Manufacturers assocla-
tlon. while a voluntary secretary OF the
finance committee. Mantle made n
splendid fight for wool. He may have
a chance 10 do some good watching
out on the commission.
II is settled by the secretary Of war
that the gallant boys Of the 18th u. 5.
A. will finally return 10 their old home
stations. 1t Is. however. probable that
they will first go Jack to cuba as part
of the winter garrison. They are likely
40 get back 10 Montana about an even
year from the time they started for
Tampa.
The significance Of this weeks Yer
mont election. though fully compre-
hended by party leaders here, can best
be understood by political laymon af-
ter the consideration Of some compari-
sons. These are easily obtainable and
come figures made at the democratic
congressional committee give the situs-
ton very clearly.
Upon first thought II may seem sur
prising that the carrying Of a small
etate of the size Of Vermont by $4,000
republican plurality hould be coustru-
ed as a strong INDICATION OF democratic
success throughout the East. But when
Il is remembered that at the CORE
spending election Of two years ago the
state went almost 10000 republican. in
a total vote OF only 80. 200 the signifi-
canoe is apparent As the democratic
vote has actually increased I'm the state,
che entire loss has fallen on the repub-
iicans.
II will be remembered that the first
harbinger Of the great defeat Of the re
