THE RETURN TO TOWNSVILLE
PRESIDENT LEAVES DISTINGUISH
ED HOSTS ON JEKYL.

He and Speaker Reed Met only
Twice on the Island and Then
I'm the Presence of Othcrs-Presi-
dent Presented the First Spanish
Flag That Salutcd Him After the
Signing of the Peace Treaty-WiH
soon Leave the south.
Thomasville, Ga, March 22.-President
Mckinley and Vice President Hobart re-
turned TO the home of Senator Hanna
this evening much refreshed and pleased
with their trip to JelIyl Island.
The visit has been one of quiet enjoy
ment throughout Politics cut not the
slightest figure. The meeting of Speaker
Reed and the President was confined to
two exchanges of common courtesies in
the presence of number of other per-
sons At Jekyl the President was made
one of the large island family and per-
mitted to exercise his own pleasure with
out any forced attention.
Nearly four hours to-day were spent in
a pleasant water trip from Jekyl to
Brunswick. Mr.. N. X. Fairbanks, II. w.
Cannon, Thomas Nelson Page. ex-Secre-
tary Bliss and ladies' of their families ac-
companied Mr. Mckinley to the latter
place. AT Brunswick all the shipping, in
GLIDING three Spanish vessels, saluted the
Presidents cutter, the Colfax.
H. H. Raymond, Southern manager OF
the Mallory Line, had the big steamer no
Grande ablaze with bunting and also pre-
scented to the President good sized span
ish flag from the bark Tafalla, which had
been waved in salute as the President
boat steamed down the harbor to Jeykl
last Monday. 1t was accompanied by
the following note:
This is the first Spanish flag which
saluted President William Mckinley after
the conclusion of the treaty of peace he
tween the United States and Spain, ana
is now presented to the President at
Brunswick, Ga, March 20, 1899, with the
compliments of Rosendo Torras, late vice
consul of Spain"
This courtesy greatly pleased Mr.. Nc
Kinley.
The presidential train. to a parting
cheer. pulled out of Brunswick at La
O'Clock and Conductor Joseph Palmer, Jr.,
of the Plant System, landed his distin-
guished passengers in Thomasville at 5:35
O clock The presidential party drove at
once to Senator Hanna s, and rested dur
ing the evening.
Friday the President probably will go
TO Tallahassee, returning the same day.
Early next week he will leave here for
Washington.

HANNA WAS SURPRISED.
wondered How Newspaper Men cot
over Onto JeSyI.

Brunswick Ca, March 22.-President
Mckinley and party left Jekyl Island this
morning and came through Brunswick en-
route to Thomasville. Their departure
from Jekyl was the signal for a general
turning out of the club guests to bid them
good-by.
Conspicuous among those on the docks
to give a final adieu was Speaker Reed,
and his parting with Senator Hanna was
especially cordial.
While this Jekyl Island trip has caused
the most elaborate speculation as to the
politics involved, a careful study of the
situation on the field has failed to get
anything like a good political story out
of it.
The conference held in the Sans Souci
apartment house yesterday by Speaker
Reed and Senator Hanna is the only thing
that has savored of the political, and it
was evident that neither the speaker or
Senator Hanna rellshed the idea of hav-
ing it referred to as a conference. The
reference to it in correspondents dis
patches last night was discussed this
morning and Senator Hanna remarked to
correspondent that the meeting in Speak
er Reeds room was purely social and in
no wise had politics concerned in it. He
expresses surprise at the presence of cor
respondents on the island, and more par
ticularly that correspondent was in the
Sans Souci az the time himself and
Speaker Reed were together.
To personal friend at the club house
later Senator Hanna remarked that he
wondered chow in the h he got there"
The trip of the President to-day includ-
ed a ride out over the Brunswick bar on
the revenue cutter Colfax. 1t was an
ideal spring day, and all members of the
party, especially Mrs. Mckinley, thor
oughly enjoyed It. Their arrival here was
marked by the presence of a large crowd
of citizens. and as the President and party
drove through the lines hearty cheers
were given them.

BRYAN TO DINE IN NEW YORK.
Expected He VIII Make II Notable
speech on April 10.

New York, March 22-The Jefferson ban
quet of the Chicago platform Democrats of
this city will take place on the night of
April 10. Col. w. ]. Bryan has given posi-
tive assurances that he will be present
1t is expected that he win make a nota-
BILE speech, stating the stand which he be
lieves the Democratic party should take
in the national campaign Of next year. 1t
is planned TO have the LABOR unions take a
very prominent part in the dinner
Eugene Brewster who is managing tho
Bryan dinner, said tonight;
Some confusion has arisen over the
name of the dinner. It was decided at
first not to cali it a dinner of Chicago
platform Democrats, because of Gov. Pin
gree and others, who are Republicans. We
arranged that matter in committee all
right however, and sent the invitation IN
the name of the Chicago platform people
I'VE have such financial backing that
we viii be able to give a dollar dinner
such as has never been held before.
Applications have come from places in
Florida, from Duluth and from Boston. l
wired 20 the Grand Central Palace as
soon as l heard from Mr.. Bryan tonight,
and engaged 1t.
Because of the confusion no invitations
were sent to anybody but Mr. Bryan. We
have learned. however, from Gov. Pingree,
Mr.. Altgeld and Chairman Jones that
they would come any day after April 10 !"
Richard Croker said tonight: II don't
care 10 say anything about MIR Bryan's
letter of declination. I am sorry he can
not understand difference of opinion. As
to the fact that he will go TO the one dol
lar dinner-well, l hope he will help the
cause of Democracy. The more big din
ners there are in New York, the better for
the working people,"
The promoters of the Bryan dinner take
il for granted that Gov. Pingree will be
one of the guests.
Ex-senator German It is understood,
will attend the Croker banquet.

SHERMAN REACHES SANTIAGO.
REPORT OF HIS DEATH WAS
TAKEN SERIOUSLY THERE.

Mrs. Leonard Wood Called on Her
Long Cable Message written.
Flag at Moro Castle Was at Half
Mnst-An Was Changed when the
Fnris ArriVed-The eX-Secretary
Well Enough TO he out.
Santiago, March Flowing to the sup
posed authenticity of the report received
here from Capt. Leigh. the chief signal
officer, regarding the alleged death of John
Sherman, the former Secretary of State,
the weekly reception OF Mrs. Wood, the
wife of Gen. Leonard Wood was post
poned yesterday afternoon.
After the arrival of the American Line
steamer Paris at Santiago and the an
nouncement that there was no truth in the
reports of the death of Mr.. Sherman, word
was sent out that Mrs. Wood would re-
ceive 1t was too late, however, to obtain
the services of the band. In spite of this,
fully 200 passengers from the Paris were
present at the reception.
When the Paris reached here those on
board noticed that the flag flying from
MORO Castle, at the entrance OF the har-
Dor was at half-masr, and 1t was inferred
by the passengers that some important
parsonage was dead. Their surprise was
great when told on being reached by a
tug, that a report was current that MIR.
Sherman was dead
Capt. Leigh gave the signal Office at
| Guantanamo a bad quarter of an hour.
| The men on duty there explained chat
they had received the alleged news of Mr.
| Shermans death from the French Gable
| Company, and, supposing it to be correct
| sent an official confirmation, as they had
no cause TO doubt the authenticity of she
report.
The announcement of Mr. Sherman's
! death obtained so much credence here
| that Gen, Wood even had a cable dis
patch written asking the authorities at
| Washington for instruction as to the spe-
| cial honors they were DESTROYS of paying
| to the remains of the distinguished states
man, but before this message was sent
| the Paris arrived here, and everybody was
! pleased to hear that Mr.. Sherman, instead
of being dead, was improving in health.
Mr.. Sherman continues improving and
| was moved from his cabin on deck this a {.
ternoon for an hour
| Mr.. Sherman's condition this evening
! continues about the same. He rested quite
| comfortably throughout the day, and, i
| anything, is somewhat improved

Side of Gomez.

SIDE OF Gomez.
Havana, March 22.-The military assem-
bly,, owing to the absence of a quorum,
held no meeting to-day but a meeting
will probably be held tomorrow, though
Saturdays meeting is likely TO be the i'm
portant session of the week
The feeling is now that, as it is clearly
impossible for the assembly to raise funds
for the army's use, the most logical
course, all things considered. would be to
disband the army and dissolve. A mo-
ton to this effect will undoubtedly be
made and will provoke hot contest.
The Cuban generals, Diaz, Montague
do, Robau, Nodarse, Betancourt and Pc
raza, held another secret meeting tonight
1t is supposed that, having consulted their
commands they are now prepared to take
the side of Gen. Gomez against the as
sembly.

sued a call TO their colleagues to attend

of Maj. Prudencio Martinez, who was
fatally shot on Monday evening at the

BENEFITS or THE TRUSTS.
They Are Formed to Get rid of Cut
Throat Competition.

London, March 22.-At the banquet Of
the British Economic Association this
evening, Sir Robert Giffen, formerly as
sIstant secretary of the Board OF Trade,
presiding. Prof. Ashley delivered an in
teresting address on the position Of trusts
In the United States.
Prof Ashley said the trusts were main
ly the outcome Of an attempt 10 get rid
OF the disastrous effects Of cut-throat com
petition. The public, In his opinion, had
greatly exaggerated their power to rule
prices. He commended that the general
tendency OF trusts in the United States
was in fact to lower prices as had been
seen in the case OF the Standard on trust
Undoubtedly the trusts gave an advantage
to the capitalists, but they also tended to
secure steadiness in the rate of remuner-
alton for labor and to promote continuity
of employment and an increased stability
In industry.

astrous marine confiagration occurred as
that which took place at the wharf at $50
o'clock this morning. resulting in the de-
