FINAL DATE FIXED.
The United States Proposes to TAX G
Possession OF Cuba Dec. 1.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 9.-The
situation over the failure Of the Span
ish government to agree to withdraw
its forces quickly from Cuba has be-
ccme serious, and it may be necessary
for the United States to adopt stringent
measures to compel the Spaniards to
adhere to the conditions Of the peace
protocol.
The administration is determined not
to grant the Spanish beyond Dec. 1
in which to surrender authority to the
American representatives. That deci-
sion has been communicated to the
American members Of the Havana evac-
uation commission, and the Spanish
commissioners will be informed that
further delay will not be tolerated.
The United States will not insist on
evacuation Of the island by all the
Spanish forces by the date fixed, but
on Dec. 1 the American military COM
manders in Cuba will take possession
of all custom house and other public
buildings in their several districts.
If 1t Shall be necessary to use force
to accomplish this, force will be used.
The administration is hopeful that the
Spanish authorities will bow to the
inevitable when they have learned
what the United States government
proposes to do, and all trouble will be
aVerted.

There was more excitement at the
Auditorium yesterday morning than
there will be tonight, when Charles
AStor Parker'S troupe of four or five
bicycle riders begin racing, or rather
riding around the dinky little track.
The girls came over from Minneapolis
and were safely placed in their board
ing house on Exchange street. Then
they wanted to go to the Auditorium
and try the little saucer. They went
with their wheels, but only got as far
as the door. The custodian said he

The girls will have to do some prac-

them is intense, so much so that while
they may eat at the same table, each
one must have a side of her own to

The President and Mrs. Mckinley at
Canton for Mr.. SaxtOn's Funeral.
CANTON, Oct 9.-The homecoming
Of President and Mrs. Mckinley today,
for the funeral Of George D. Saxton,
was attended with a most touching and
pathetic scene at the Pennsylvania
station. President and Mrs. Mckinley
were first out of the car. AS they ap-
preached, the. crowds, with heads I'M
covered, bowed silently, opening pas
sageWay through which they passed.
The president and party went direct
to the Barber home, which is the Cd
SaXtOn homestead, and was the Canton
home Of the McKinleys during his life
in congress. Except when the presi
dent, accompanied by Mr.. Barber, took
q short walk, the party remained at
the Barber house all day.
The funeral arrangements were con-
Cludcd after the arrival Of the party.
They are to be held from the Barber
home at o'clock Monday afternoon,
and will be private.
The train bearing the cabinet and
other officials from Washington to the
Omaha exposition will arrive in Cam
ten Monday evening, and about 9
o'clock the private car of the president
will be attached thereto and he Will
join the party. Mrs. Mckinley, it is
thought tonight, will not undertake the
trip, but will join the president on his
return. She will remain in Canton sew
eral days and will more than likely go
to Chicago with Mrs. Lafayette Nc
Williams and Mrs. W. A. Goodman. her
cousins, who are expected to be here
fer the funeral services.
The day has brought no new develop
ments in the murder case. Mrs. George
remains in jail. The coroner will re-
sumo the testimony on Monday.
