M'KINlEY AT NATURAL BRIDGE
President and Party Spend the Day
in Viewing Nirginin's Unique
Natural Formation.

HOT SPRINGS, Va, May 13-President
Mckinley, Mrs. Mckinley and a few friends
visited Natural Bridge, Va, today. They
left the homestead after an early breakfast
and at S:15 started on their trip over the
Chesapeake & Ohio in the special train
which carried the presidential party to Hot
Springs. The run was through a noun
famous and wild country At each station
a group of men and women tried to catch
a glimpse of the executive. A. j. Duncan,
a nephew of Mr.. Mckinley, joined the party
at Clifton Forge
Natural Bridge was reached about noon
Here large number of nondescript con-
veyances, from a four-i hand bus to a
single saddle horse, were gathered about the
platform.
The president was the first to alight,
bowling to the knot of people who had as
sembled. Mrs. Mckinley remained in her
car with DR.. and Mrs. Rixey, it being feared
that the ride over rough roads would not
be beneficial to her.
All along the three-mie drive to the
bridge were negro cabins, and at each stood
a group of men and women and band Of
pickaninnes who waived hats and handker-
chiefs as the carriages passed
After entering the grounds of the Natural
Bridge property the descent by path Is
very steep and jagged to the level of the
stream, which flows beneath the arch. Presi-
dent Mckinley took the lead and progressed
so brlskly over the stones and slippery
places that he was soon in advance of the
leader of the party. Directly beneath the
road of rock were assembled about fifty
young women, pupils at the Hollins semi
nary, near Roanoke, Va, who were there
on an excursion. The president stopped for
,.,tv, h. naI,
each was introduced and shook his hand.
Mr.. Mckinley was greatly impressed with
the scenery and so expressed himself sew
eral times After an inspection Of the cot
tage. first owned by Thomas Jefferson, and
which stands at the end Of the bridge and
a look down the ravine from the top OF the
bridge, the party drove back TO the train

manifest frendliness he had always shown
and also his interest in American literaA :
ture.
Another member Of the court household
told me story that illustrates the en-
peror's simplicity. He went to visit rela-
tive and rang the bell himself. A maid
came to the door.
God in heaven, it is the emperor him
self" she exclaimed, and in her excitement
she slammed the door in his face. His
majesty stood there shaking with laughter
until he was permitted to enter.
The emperor added much to his popu-
cent visit there by visiting the Catholic as
well as the Protestant churches, as he
did in Palestine. He wants to be consd-
cred defender of the faith.
The emperors two eldest sons have just
been sent to Kiel to take course in manual
training. They will go through a course of
practical carpentering, cabinet making and
locksmithing. Both are fond of manual
labor and are expert worknen. The crown
prince celebrated his nth birthday on
Saturday. He is a studious. quiet youth,
who resembles his grandfather, "Unser
Fritz
The last mark of royal courtesy shown to
me by his majesty was a letter bearing
the royal arms and seal, Fraulein Won Gers
dorff having delivered my message to him,
saying that the emperor had accepted with
thanks the homage which Nine. La Com
tesse de st. Maurice had charged Fraulein
Won Gersdorff to offer.

blegram-Special Telegram Prof. Cervello
of Palermo hospital has invented what he
claims to be new cure for consumption.
The principal feature is the inhalation of gas
produced by a powerful antiseptic called
formalina, said to have been already known
Formalina is fatal to tuberculous symptoms
but is also fatal to the patient. Cervello
SAYS he has invented an instrument which
gives off formaina gas in practicable form
and quantity lie tried the method On
twenty consumptivcs in the third stage of
the disease at Palermo hospital Two died
from debility before he could operate.
Thirteen recovered within a month. Five
are fast rega!ning health. The combination
Of sea and mountain air to be had in the
neighborhood of Palermo is said to form one
of the chief conditions of cure. A large
sanitarium in which Signor Florce, owner Of
the wellknown Florce- Rubattino line of
steamers, has invested 100000 lire and a
factory for the manufacture of formaiina IS
being erected. Treatment when all arrange
ments are made is expected to cost fifty
francs a day. Professor Cervello will
shortly go to Berlin to lay his discovery be-
fore the Berlin congress on tuberculosis.
| learn that the Vatican has received a
lengthy sensational report from the clergy
and religious orders in the Philippines de-
scribing alleged American atrocities, pro-
testing against the wholesale slaughter ana
wanton destruction of property and invok
ing papal intervention. The pope is said
to be much moved, but hesitates to direct
an address to Mckinley, fearing rebuff.

Tho departure of the duke of Abruzzi for
Scandinavia on a polar expedition is the
event Of the week. He refused an ofiiciaI
farewell and left quite quietly. He is very
confident of success. The bulk of his sup
lies left Italy in 1,5OO portable cases. Each
class of boxes has its own color, so as to
permit of easy recognition. Among the
means of amusement is an automatic piano,
and among the provisions are 1000 bottles
Of liquor for extraordinary circumstances, as
the duke and his companions ordinarily drink
water tea and coffee. Besides the duke, the
expedition includes two Italian naval officers,
one DOCTOR two Italian sailors, four Alpine
guides, ten Norwegian sailors; several Es-
quimauX who are to look after 100 dogs for
the sledges, to be obtained at Archangel. II
is calculated the journey will occupy
eighteen months and cost 5000, GOO francs.

Is Indifferent about the attitude Of the Royal

an English and Afrikander one. Our settle
ment is quite a private affair. We want to
maintain that character Moreover, we are
only just settled. The experiment is only
in its infancy so the fuss made about 1t
is altogether premature. Our object is to
make life as free, pure and beautiful as
possible. We have no laws in our colony.
We recognize no distinction of class or be-
lief. no legal marriage, In fact, no social
conventions whatever. We are all equal.
We work for ourselves and each other.
There is central committee charged with
selling such commodities as are required.
The product goes to fund for all. Each
colonist lives in a hut and works with his
hands. Luxury is unknown among u.s. but
we cultivate science and art. Each colonist
possesses piece of land which he eultivates
in addition to other work. such shoe

suits 1 devote ten hours daily to agri-
cultural labor and also attend the sick. Our
colony numbers fortyt three souls. We are
working happily and contentedly together,
but do not conceal from myself that diff
culties must arise and the system will be
put to a test in overcoming them"

it was being lowered into the vault. The
tragic circumstances are now apparently for

shot his father dead at a shooting party.
Herbert was only 49, and for months his
grief and horror were nconsolable. He then
made long tour round the world and on
his return entered the army His social po
sition was affected by HE change from the

statement, Presidential message. Congress

ance sheet to impress fully on public attention
the unique. envlnblo and wholly unrivalled
financial position which the United States bears
among tho nations OF the world. On Dec. 1 the
total debt OF the United States was 81 .036.-
100000. This is a large debt when measured
by ordinary standards, but OF relatively small
account when considered in connection with
he fact that thlrty-two years ago the debt Of
the country was nearly three times as large and
the interest four times greater than IL is at
present. The United States is not the only
country which has n large debt. but It is
the only country which Is steadily decreasing
It's debt, while ut tho same time enormously
increasing its resources. In this respect the
financial position OF tho United States is abso-
lutely impregnable, and its credit Is steadily
on the increase.
Great Britain's debt is now about SS7 per
capita. that OF France Sis. OF Holland 300.
and OF Italy S75. The per capita debt OF the
United States Is less than S15. and the
security for its payment Is increasing oil
the time. Again. from another point OF view
the financial position OF the United States Is
the envy and marvel OF the f1nanciers of all

Portugal. England has an income tax and
many stamp taxes. a house tax. and collects
about 20 per cent. OF It's revenue from direct
taxation. France has q tobacco monopoly. reg

and almost countless local taxes. OF which the
octroi, on goods entering cities, is one. Austria
