A RESTFUL DAY.
President Mckinley Attended
Church at Somerset.

SOMERSET Pa), Aug. 2S.-Presi-
dent Mckinley came to Somerset to
pass a restful day and he has certain
ly accomplished that purpose.
1t was the most delightful season
here. The President arose early and
passed an hour walking about town
With his brother, Abner. Here and
there he met an old acquaintance and
stopped for a short talk. The Presi-
dents determination to attend the
morning services at the Methodist
Church became known early and by
the usual time for opening the services
every seat except those reserved for
the President and his party, was oc-
cupied.
The altar was tastefully decorated
with white chrysanthemums and varied
colored lilies.
Mrs. Abner Mckinley and her daugh-
ter, Mabel, drove to the church in their
carriage and Abner Mckinley and his
distinguished brother walked. The
Presidents wife did not attend
A drive in the country followed the
services, the President and Mrs. Nc
Kinley being accompanied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Abner Mckinley.
The President is greatly pleased with
his visit here and regrets that it can
not be extended, but arrangements
have been made for his visit to the mill
itary camp at Montauk on Saturday,
which necessitates his leaving here to-
morrow

MANY DIFFICULTIES.
They Stand in the Way of the
Cars Proposal.

LONDON, Aug. 2S.-The Daily Gra-
phic" this morning, referring to the pro-
posal of Emperor Nicholas, says: 1T
would be idle to attempt to ignore the
many and grave difficulties standing in
the way of the attainment of the Gear
wishes; but 1t cannot be possible to
doubt the sincerity of the magnanimoUs
proposal"
Enumerating the many obstacles IT,
the attainment of the object sought, the
Standard" suggests that the Gar has
the matter largely in his own hands,
adding: IF Russia would abandon her
aggressive policy In China and else
where, the era of universal peace would
be perceptibly nearer"
The Times" says, editorially: THE
note breathes a spirit of generous, per-
haps, indeed, almost quixotic humanity
"a spirit familiar in the illusions Of
Missionaries, but too seldom found in the
utterances of great sovereigns and re-
sponsible statesmen.
1t looks at present al though all the
great Powers might be willing to enter
the conference. While the United
states might be expected to lend a ia
Voraple ear to appeals tending in anv
degree to lessen the weight Of the i'm
perlal responsibility she is about IN
undertake, her industrial policy is close
~ AKIN to our own and her abiding in
terest in the maintenance of peace ,s
hardly less vital"

of the men is extremely bad. Ambu-
lances were found to be necessary to
convey them to the steamer.
Three transports will leave tomorrow
for Guantanamo, Baracoa and Sagua
for the Spanish prisoners there. The
condition Of the men is distressing
The transport Knickerbocker arrived
this morning with the second battalion
of the Fifth Infantry, the Second and
Third Battalions of Second Immune
Regiment, which will leave tomorrow
for Baracoa and Sagua for garrison
duty at those places.
General Toral and staff and a few
other officers will leave next week on
the Leo XIII. Over 200 Santiago ref
ugees arrived from Jamaica to-day and
others are coming soon, now that peace
is restored. The Spanish hospital will
be renovated and put into shape for an
American hospital. It's location is ex-
cellent and it has a. capacity of 1000.
Upon the arrival of a Spanish Major
recently it was discovered by accident
that he had several trunks filled with
silver jewelry, valuable articles and
money, evidently the result of footing
the houses of residents during the con-
fusion attendant upon the Caney exc
dus. Large amounts of money were
carried away by Spanish officers.

ment Erected to Him.

day upon the occasion of the unwilling

giving the deeds Of the deceased nota-
bly, the liberation of the peasants from

ferred upon his co-operators as a sign

SICK SOLDIER BOYS.
Pennsylvania Governor Sends a
Train to Bring Them Home.

CINCINNATI Aug. 2S-After the
middle of last week Governor Hast
lngs of Pennsylvania raised $4,000 in
cash in thirty minutes In Philadelphia
to equip hospital train to bring home
the sick of Pennsylvania regiments
from Chickamauga. A train of eight
cen hospital cars was equipped and
started for Chickamauga with astound-
ing promptness Tonight it arrived
homeward bound with 211 Pennsylva-
MIA soldiers, thirteen New Workers. one
Ohio anda one Rhode Island soldier. and
left with its overjoyed freight an hour
later for Pittsburg. Both on the down
trip and the return Governor Hastings
devoted his personal attention to all the
details of transportation. Arriving in
Cincinnati tonight he filed 164 tele-
grams to friends of soldiers and to
those preparing for their reception in
Pennsylvania. AT Chickamauga yes
terday he took the sick from hospitals
against the protests of officials who
wanted them to wait for a transcript
of their muster rolls. Fourteen SOL
diers, too i'll to leave, were left in the
Red Cross Hospital

EX-GOVERNOR MATTHEWS.
He Passed Away From Paralysis at
: Ingale Last Night.

INGALE 0nd.) Aug. 2S-At O'Clock
this morning at the quiet Meharry
homestead, where he was taken imme-
diately after his sudden aff1iction. ex-
Governor Claude Matthews passed
away peacefully, surrounded by hi
Wife and all the other members Of his
immediate family.
There was prayer service, accompa-
MED by the singing of hymns at the
bedside of the dying Ex-Governor.
Mrs. Matthews was very much affect
ed and stated that she would give any
thing in the world if her husband would
manifest by single word his faith IN
Jesus.
AT . O'Clock the minister in the course
of services asked the dying man if he
believed in Jesus
Inc answer. as plainly as any one
could articulate it was Yes"
The three physicians regarded this as
miraculous, as all agreed that the par
tlcular brain affected by paralysis was
that governing the speech, and the ex-
Governor would have probably never
talked, had he lived.
1t was the only word he spoke after
he was stricken
He immediately lapsed into q pro-
round coma. from which he did not re-
cover before he passed away at ,..3D

Although Senior Sagasta did not state
the nature Of this measure, it Is sup
posed it will provide for Ahe continual
ton of suspension.
THE Government" said the Premie~,
will not discuss in any form the ques-
tions of peace and war, indeed, the
deputies would be entirely lacking IN
the material necessary for a decision
The debate could not be issued on con-
crete, positive facts, founded on indis-
putable documents, since the necessary
information has not yet arrived. I be-
lieve no discussion of the surrender OF
Santiago and Manila will occur, nor
of the destruction of the Spanish fleet
unless trustworthy data and exact
proofs are at hand. Moreover, no dis
cussion is permissible of matters at
present under consideration of the SUI
preme Councils of War and Marine.
Mistakes or plumbers may have been
committed, but thus far we have not
sufficient material to Judge.
Another reason why questions of
peace and war should not be discussed
is that the diplomatic relations are nov
being carried on and a debate on these
subjects might be provocative of COM
plications. It must not be said that
peace is. signed and discussion not al
lowable. Peace is not signed Spain
is still at war with the United States.
The two nations have merely concluded
a suspension of hostilities in order to
negotiate peace. These negotiations
may be brought to successful issue,
but it might happen that hostilities will
be recommended"

WASHINGTON, Aug ga few

of all the hospitals in Camp Thomas
and to report instantly any lack of at

Tonight the following telegram, under

Adjutant General Corbin from General
Boynton:

in all essential features The facts eff
fectually dispose of all recent sensa-
tional adverse criticism. Report will
be written out Tomorrow"
The results Of General Boynton's in

Department great satisfaction They
have implicit confidence in General
Boynton and are satisfied that his in
vestigation has been thorough and its
results, as he states them, are ac-

SAN MARCOS ARRIVES.
The Scene at the Landing Was Pa
thetic in the Extreme

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-The transport
San Marcos, which sailed from Key
West August 22d, arrived this morning
with two batteries of the First T. S.
Artillery, two companies of the Third
Texas Volunteers and the general hos
pital corps and a detachment from tae
corps Of engineers. The total number
of men aboard was $40, of which il
are officers
Sixty of the worst cases We're re-
moved from the San Marcos this after
noon.
Nearly all the men are convalescents
from the general army hospitals at Key
West and Tampa. Ten were sent to
the New York hospital one to Gov
ernor's Island and the remainder to
Fort Hamilton and Fort Wadsworth
Very few of the men were able to
walk. The scene at the landing was
pathetic in the extreme. The men could
not be transferred on stretchers and,
clad in pajamas, their emaciated forms
were carried down the plank
-, Private Stephen Easton, Troop K,
First Volunteer Cavalry, was the only
man landed at Governors Island, as the
field hospital on the island is crowded
IIe is suffering from melancholia, hav-
ing lost his voice and hearing as the
result of a fever contracted while serv-
ing before Santiago. During the trip
to this city his attempts to end his
life became SO frequent and determined
that it was necessary to have a guard
watch him night and day. Easton en-
listed in the Rough Riders from New
Mexico. He is of Mexican descent
The men are delighted over the fact
that they have arrived in New York
They complain, however, that they
have not received their pay for two
months. There are a number OF men
On board who are suffering with
wounds, but the majority of them are
recovering from malaria.
The men also complain some Of lack
of suitable accommodations while on the
ship. In the main, however, the trip
from Key West was without incident.

through the medium Of foreign Embas-
sadors at st. Petersburg, has been kept
profoundly secret until to-day, at the
express wish of Count Muravieff, the
Foreign Minister, SO that it might be
first promulgated on the day Of the

kremlin to Alexander II.
There is reason to believe that it
formed the subject of communication
between the courts of ST. Petersburg
and Berlin previously and in all proba-
bility the support Of Germany, at least,
was secured in advance.
Russia, with her chronic fairness
ana her large enterprises in the Far
East to provide for out of a budget
which is being drawn upon more and
more each year for materials of war
