M'KlNLEY OUT EARLY.
Leaves HOlyOke on Special For
Northampton.

Holyoke, Mass, June 19.-President
Mckinley arose early today after a
night of refreshing sleep. Mrs. McKin-
ley, the president said, was rested after
the fatigue of yesterday.
After breakfast at the Whiting man
sion, preparations were begun for the
railroad trip to Northampton to visit
Smith college.
At 9 o'clock the special train bearing
the party left the station, due to arrive
at Northampton at $50.
AT NORTHAMPTON.
Northampton, Mass, June 19.-North-
ampton was dressed in its best today to
welcome the president of the United
States upon his arrival from Holyoke.
Considerable effffort at general decora-
ton has been made and the public
buildings together with many resi-
dences were gay with bunting and flags.
From every trolley pole along the en-
tire route of the parade were suspended
large flags while every few yards were
long streamers rur1ning to each side
and caught up in the center over the
trolley wire, forming a long, bright
archway.
The presidents train arrived on time.
Mr.. William Whiting, the presidents
host at Holyoke, and Congressman Bill
lette and Lawrence, came up from Hol-
yoke with the party and rOusing cheer
went up as the train came to a stop and
President Mckinley stepped from the
platform to enter the waiting carriage.
This welcome was repeated at intervals
and the president and Mrs. Mckinley
were constantly engaged in acknOwl-
edging the cheers.
The presidential train stopped at a
point where the car just could be en-
tered from the car platform.
A reception committee, representing
the city, greeted the party and the local
militia company, with the Grand Army,
presented arms. The procession was
then formed and moved through the
main street to the grounds of Smith
cises were nearly concluded when the
company arrived on the college grounds
The ladies were taken to the residence
of Capt. Henry L. Williams, while the
gentlemen entered the chapel. At the
close of the exercises the president
watched the planting of the class ivy
The party was then driven to the res
idence of Capt. Williams, where a, beau

Mrs. L. G. Hastings made the pre-
sentation speech to which Mrs. McKin-
ley responded very briefly, expressing
her pleasure and appreciation of the
gift.
After a luncheon the entire party
were taken for short drive about the
town, during the course of which the
president reviewed the school children
who were massed at a point along the
route.
AS the presidential party returned
from the drive, they were met bY the
military company and escorted to the
station. AS the train moved away three
hearty cheers for Holyoke were given
by the spectators. The weather was de-

TARIFF NOT ONLY CAUSE.
Franklin McVeagh .Disagrees With
Mr.. Havemever

Chicago, June 19-Franklin McVeagh,
leading independent Republican and
brother of Wayne McVeagh of Penn
sylvania, former minister to Italy, said
today:
1.-The protective tariff is not alone re-
spOnsible for the trust idea, for the
Standard Oil company, the greatest of
all trusts, has never had any protection
and antedates most of the protected
trusts. The low price of sugar now is
not'due, as Mr.. Havemeyer says, to the
natural causes, but because the inde-
pendent refiners are pushing his con-
Germ very hard OF course the trusts
had their origin in the main in a pro-
tective tariff. ten or fifteen years ago.
but that is not the case now"
Former Judge Thomas Moran, a
prominent gold Democrat, agreed with
Mr.. Havemeyer, generally speaking, but
said that everything in the way of ag-
gregations of capital could not be called
trusts.
LAS a whole, however, remarked the
judge, the protective tariff is the par

STOLE $4,000.
Masked Robbers Raid a Trolley
Line Office.
Bind Employ es With Wire and
Crack the Safe.

Philadelphia, June ia gang of
masked robbers, probably ten in num-
Der, early this morning raided the re-
ceiving office Of the Fairmount Park
Transportation company at Belmont,
in Paramount Park and after holding
up the receiver and five other employees
of the railway blew open the safe,
securing $4,000, the company's receipts
for two days
Frank Leaven, receiver, Frank Wat
son and Henry b. Whitehouse, conduc-
tors; James Cavanaugh, fireman of the
power house, Philip Eaves, electrician
and William Cadmus, labOrer, were
bound hand and foot with wire. In
addition to the men who actually COM
mitted the robbery, others operated
miles away from the scene by destroy
ing telegraph and telephone wires con-
Meeting with the trolley cOmpany's
main office.
The Fairmount Park Transportation
company operates various lines of troll
ley cars through the park for pleasure
riders, the traffic being unusually heavy
on Saturdays and Sundays, the robbers
evidently decided upon this morning as
being good time to make a big haul.
The men above named were all in the
office when the burglars made their ap-
pearance. Each intruder was armed
with two reVolvers and they took the
was the work of a few moments for the
robbers to pinion the wOrkmen, who
were rolled over to one side of the room,
with their faces to the wall Ten min
utes later the safe had been cracked
and the gang disappeared.
The entire city detective force is on
the case
Frank Levan, the night receiver one
of the men bound and gagged by the
robbers told this story of his expert
ence:
While I was standing at the office
door. I heard footsteps in the rear.
Turning, 1 saw two men with masks on
their faces. They had two big revol-
Vers and took me into the conductors
room and tied my hands and feet with
face to the wall In the conductors
room 1 saw Whitehouse was also being
bound and gagged.
When we were laid on the floor a
man was detailed to guard us. In a few
minutes in came another victim, who I
think was Watson, a conductor and
he went through the same thing. Then
two more came in and were bound.
The burglars worked quietly. 1t only
took them ten minutes to blow the
safe. The guards frequently threaten
ed to shoot US if we made the least out
cry or motion. I think they must have
had wagon to take away the cash be-
cause it was very heavy to get away
with.
Shortly after the money was taken
our guards left. Finally Philip Eaves,
the electrician. got himself unloosened
and he then unlOosened US.
II tried to reach the city hall be wire.
but the wires of both telephones had
been cut and had to run in the pitch
dark across country to the Belmont
pumping station where 1 gave the
alarm and they informed the detec-
tiVes.

CALL SLOAN NAMES.
British Press Bitter Towards Ameri-
can jockey

London, June 19-The afternoon news
papers today are insisting that Tod
Sloan, the American jockey, in spite of
his denials, is the man who assaulted
a waiter at Ascot on Thursday. The
Evening News is indignant at the fact
that the jockey club has apparently
decided to let the matter drop and is
stirring up public feeling against him.
The paper says: The English jockeys
by their behavior and general bearing
have succeeded during the last twenty
years in totally altering the social sta
tus and it is hard lines on them that a
foreigner should come to England and
bring disgrace on the profession with
out any official notice being taken of it.
The next time Sloan appears on a. race
course he will learn what the public
thinks of him. The fact that he denies
what fifty people witnessed may display
American bravado, but in no other way
will it better his position.
The Star publishes several abusive
letters calling Sloan IAN American
stable boy and a ''Liliputian Yankee -
The same paper asserts that after care
full investigation it was shown that it
was Sloan and no one else who struck
the waiter with a champagne bottle,
completely opening his lip, so that
large portion of it hung over his mouth
The waiter is still under the care of
a doctor.

Canada Issues an UItimatum to
Mother England.
Says She Must Choose Between
the Dominion
UNITED STATES.
Is Forced to Yield to
Her Unruly Child.
Boundary Settlement Farther
Away Than Ever.

New York, June ia special to the
Journal and Advertiser from Washing
ton says: Canada has served notice
on England that she must choose be-
tween the United States and her North
American dominion in the settlement OF
the Alaskan boundary question. 1t is
stated on the highest authority that this
statement represents accurately the
condition submitted to England which
has delayed the negotiations between
Ambassador Choate and Lord Salisbury
on the provisional line of the modus
vivendi. This portion of Canada is
known here officially. The official to
whom it is known feels authorized in
saying that there are only two ways out
of the difficulty, the first that Canada
will voluntarily recede from her de-
mands for a Pacific tide water port, or
second that the United States shall
surrender the principle laid down by
Secretary Hay in his tentative boundary
line that America will not grant tenn
porarily or otherwise any port facili-
ties to the Canadians.
That Canada will yield is considered
by the state department officials as inn
probable.
land has been forced to yield to Canada
and that the United States and Eng
land are wider apart today in the con-
troversy than at any time since the ad-
sion. The present situation in the light
of this important news, is that the con-
fiict which the provisional boundary
line was intended to prevent may be
precipitated at any moment and with
greater show of probability when it be-
comes known that England has decided
to stand irrevocably behind Canada
DENIED IN LONDON.
London, June 19.-The officials of the
colonial office today were shown the dis
patch from Washington saying that
Canada had served notice on Great
Britain that she must choose between
the United States and her North Amer
lean dominion in the settlement of the
Alaskan boundary dispute. They de-
clared that the story is wrong both in
substance and fact and that it can be
further reaffirmed that modus vivendi
was reached early last week as cabled
to the Associated Press at the time
The arrangement, which is a verbal one,
deals with the question on broad lines
One or two minor details are still under
discussion and when they are settled a
final arrangement will be drawn up
Generally speaking it may be said that
the boundary agreed upon follows the
SUBMITS of the White and Chilcoot
passes.

WAR PLANS.
In Chief of Trans
Vaal Army
To Sweep Over South Africa
Like a Whirlwind.

London, June 19.-The st. James Ga
zette this afternoon claims to have re-
ceived from an absolutely reliable
source at Pretoria, the capital of the
Transvaal the plan of campaign which
will be followed by Gen. Joubert. COM
mander-in-chief of the Beers in the
event of war between the Transvaal
and Great Britain. Gen. JOubert's
force, it appears, will consist of 10000
men armed with Mauser rifles, In ad-
dition to 46 quick firing guns and 1000
artillerymen, most of them drawn from
the German and Dutch armies. With
these troops and help expected from the
Orange Free State, Joubert expects to
take the offensive Immediately after
the declaration of war, enter the Orange
Free State and march on Kimberly,
the British diamond mining center in
West Griqualand, which forms four
of the 20 divisions of Cape Colony.
Kimberly is about 100 miles north
west of Bloemfontein. In his march on
Kimberly, Joubert will use the railroad
as far as available, expects to capture
the town with slight loss and blow up
the De Beers diamond mine. Stimuli
taneously it is added the railroad from
Cape Town to Bulawayo will be de-
stroyed by Boer sympathizers and
agents in Cape Colony who will destroy
the Port Eliza beth Pretoria line south
of Bloemfontein to prevent others from
using it.
Finally Immediately after Kimberly
is captured, Gen. Joubert will advance
on Cape Town, the capital of Cape Col
ony through the western provinces,
where the Dutch predominant and are
expected to join the Beers. Joubert
calculates that he will be master of
Cape Town fortnight after the declar-
alton of war and that he will then be
able to dictate terms of peace.

PLEASE WAIT.
That Is What Congressman
Charles Curtis Says.
Promises to Tell About the
Famous Agreement.
SOME HARD BLOWS.
Claims Cy Leland Forced Him
Into First District.
Wanted to Defeat Curtis and
BrOderick.

Nothing is attracting more attention
among politicians than the controversy
about the congressional situation in the
First district
Congressman Curtis expects to be re-
nominated and is busily setting his pins
to accomplish that result. w. J. Bailey
and his political manager, Cyrus Le-
land, are determined that Mr.. Curtis
shall not be renominated, but Mr..
Bailey must have the plum. Mr.. Le-
land claims to have an agreement sign
ed on behalf of Mr.. Curtis, in which
they make him promise to stay out of
the race in the First district next year.
Congressman Curtis has been withhold
ing his fire but he made a few COM
ments to a Journal reporter today.
'I notice. said he, that Mr.. Leland
says it is too early to take up the fight
in the First district. I am glad that he
has come to my way of thinking, es-
pecially since he and Mr.. Bailey have
been working for three months in the
interests of Mr.. Bailey in the First dis
trict.
Mr.. Leland has a good deal to say
about me not belonging in the First dis
trict. beg to remind him that he is re-
SpOnS1ble for me being in the First dis
trict. He secured the passage of the
bill putting Shawnee in the First dis
trict for the purpose of defeating Mr..
Broderick and myself and electing Mr..
Bailey. I know what am talking about
for Senator Fulton told me this. Le-
land was willing to allow the Populists
to elect a congressman in the Fourth
district for the sake of getting Mr.. Bal
ley into congress.
''I expect no favors from Mr.. Leland
for in the presence of Bailfe Waggener
in Washington he served notice ON me
that I should not represent the First
district. 1 knew that Leland would do
all he could to defeat me.
"a great deal has been said about an
agreement but 1 ask that the people re-
serve their judgment in the matter un-
til they can hear both sides of the ques-
ton. Mr.. Leland has exploited his side
and in due time I will explain the mat
ter, think, to the satisfaction of every

REOPEN WAR ON SCHLEY.
Hodgson's Statements Will Be the
Basis of Inquiry.

Washington, June 19.-Secretary Long
and the bureaucrats of the navy depart
ment have determined to reopen the
Schley-Sampson controversy. 1t was
officially stated at the navy department
today that Lieutenant Commander
HOdgSOn'S statement regarding the al
legged cOlloquy between himself and Ad-
miral Schley would be investigated by
the department officials. The investi-
cation will of course be a secret in
QUESTION, at which Admiral Schley is
more than likely to be badly treated
A number of the ranking naval Offi
GERS who have made insinuating re-
marks regarding Admiral Schley's con-
duct on the day of the battle off Santi-
ago will doubtless be called upon to ex-
plain their own conduct The indica-
tiOns are that Admiral Schley's friends
will demand a senatorial investigation
to settle the matter.
Captain RobIey d. Evans C"Fighting
Bob') has made several declarations
regarding Admiral Schley'S conduct
both before and during the naval en-
gagement off Santa agO.Admiral Schley's
friends are now claiming that while
the admiral was standing on the bridge
of the Brooklyn directing the fight in
person, Captain Evans was behind the
coming tower of the Iowa, directing
the movements of his vessel from that
position.
1t is also asserted that during the
battle Captain Evans son, a naval ca
det, was sent below at the command of
his father, while a younger and more
inexperienced cadet was placed on duty
in a more exposed position. Admiral
Schley is now visiting friends in Mary
land.
Admiral Sampson will be relieved of
the command of the North Atlantic
squadron next fall and the logical sue
cessor is Admiral Schley, but it is be-
leved his enemies in the navy depart
ment will carry the fight so far as to
keep him out of this command.

HERE A CHANCE.
Topeka Has an Opportunity to Get
Ball Team With Little Expense.

With the disbandment of the Western
Baseball association comes the chance
for Topeka to have a frst-class club
once more at a nominal expense.
Those who have been interested in
baseball heretofore point out the fact
that if some one will start the ball
rolling club can be had here for 60
or 80 day schedule and good ball be the
result Enporia has a club. Topeka,
Atchison, st. Joe and Leavenworth
could secure players from the western
association at reasonable figure and
could arrange and carry out a summer
schedule. St. Joe has new grounds and
is anxious to get into some sort of an
association or league.
There is an excellent chance to get
good players" said Secretary Al Mauck
of the 7. A. A. 1.-The players who sign
ed with the western association will be
out of a berth for the summer and will
be willing to sign at a figure these
smaller towns can afford to pay
Clarence Smith said: Il am ready
to help if some will start the work. We
might have a four or six club league on
so or 80 day schedule and play the
season through. If some one will take
this up believe enough can be inter-
ested to make it a success. Many let
ters have been written here by good
players who are anxious to come to this
part of the country and play for the
summer

OPINION IN BOSTON.
Henry w. Lamb Says .Havemeyer
Told the Truth.

Boston, Mass. June 19.-Henry w.
Lamb. president of the Free Trade
League, said today:
Mr.. Havemeyer's statement that the
tariff is the mother of trusts was so
good that it was pity that the rest of
his argument was not little better 1t
is prOba BILE, however, that it will help
the people to realize that the way to
tackle the trusts is to attack protective
tariff
cut off protection and you cut off
the claws of trusts. Mr.. Havemeyer's
statement and the attention it will at
tract, ought to give great help to the
movement expressed already by many,
even of the Republican papers of this
country, in their demand for the re-
moval of every protective duty which
supports a trust"

EARTHQUAKE FOR VICTOR.
Fourth of July Committee to Get Up
Novel Entertainment.

Victor Colo June 19.-The local
Fourth of July celebration committee
has approved plans for the production
of an artificial earthquake.
Ten tons of dynamite will be exploded
on the summit of a mountain near here
whose altitude is about 1900 feet above
sea level.
1t is believed that the explosion will
be felt in certain directions for a dis
tance of nearly $50 miles, by reason of
the great altitude at which it will occur.
Governor Charles S. Thomas will de-
liver an address here on the Fourth,
will press an electric button and
through that medium, will explode the
dynamite. Instruments will be placed
at distant points to record sound wave
results.
