CONFIDENCE IN M'KINLEY.
Governor Stone, Of Pennsylvania,
Speaks of His Visit.

Harrisburg, Pa, Aug. 20.-Governor
Stone, who made a flying trip to
Plattsburg, n. Y, with committee to
invite the president of the United
States and Mrs. Mckinley to review
the Philippine war veterans Of the
Tenth Pennsylvania regiment at Pitts
burg, upon their arrival at that city,
was seen in his office today. In speak
ing of the president, Governor Stone
said
THE last time I saw the president
was in the early summer. He looked
overworked. The splendid climate of
Northern New York has apparently
been of great benefit to him and also
to Mrs. Mckinley.
This talk about anti-expansion or
anti-imperialism will die of sheer puer-
ility. The mass of the American people
never did believe i'm such weakness.
We are a nation of expansionists.
THE president is in favor of a most
vigorous prosecution of military meas
ures to suppress the insurrection in the
Philippines. He is a statesman, and
has all the great details of policy and
administration well in hand.
Our time was necessarily limited
but it was long enough to demonstrate
to us this fact. that the president is
fully up to the requirements of our eX-
tended domain and responsibilities.
II think the present congress- when
it assemblies. will be the beginning of
one of the most important. instructive
and interesting sessions in our history,
and the past will look rather primitive
compared with the future.
Il have no doubts about congress.
There may be few who will pull back
but it will only be to their own dis
comfiture. When the issue is made the
people will do the rest. The American
congress is fast becoming the most i'm
portant deliberative body in the world. -

GAVE HIM THE SLIP.
Healy Lost His Boy, but the Police
Got Him.

Word was yesterday received at po-
lice headquarters from the Chief of Po-
lice of San Francisco that a boy who
gave the name of Wetzel, and who said
his parents lived on O street, between
Ninth and Tenth, in this city, was III
Jail at that place. The boy, who is
about II years old, said he went to San
Francisco to visit an aunt who lived
on Golden Gate avenue, but that ne
could not find her.
On investigation the police learned
that the boy held is Charles Huber,
whose mother, Mrs. Fannie Huber,
lives in the vicinity stated. The boy
evidently assumed the name of his
grandparents (WetzeD when arrested.
Mrs. Huber visited police headquar-
tiers, and said she believed beyond
doubt that the boy was her son. She
had made arrangements to have him
placed in a home at San Rafael, and
on Saturday turned him over to Dan
Healy, Officer of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children, CIV
ing the latter 81 to take him down
there.
The superstition is that the boy es-
capped from Healy in San Francisco, and
wandered around until taken in by the
police.

A PRIVATE CoNFAB.
Republican Committeeman AMI
Trustees Hold q Conference.

There was a conference yesterday be-
tween the members nf the Republican
City Central Committee and the Re-
publican members of the City Board OF
Trustees. They met with closed doors,
and just what they said and did is
known only to themselves, for those
present refused after the meeting to
give Record Union" reporter any In
formation on the subject.
Chairman Sims said they did moth
ing in particular, but such as it was
they didn't care to have it made public.
He declared the publication in a weekly
paper of an alleged report of a previous
meeting was all false; that the confer
ences did not concern the public, and
that they were of political significance
only.

CID CITY BONDS.


Up to within a few days ago S6,60U
of the old Sacramento bonds of 1895
remained unpaid, and the supposition
was that they had been lost or de-
stroyed by fire.
But they were not. On Saturday last
they bobbed up serenely at City Auditor
Young's office as fresh and clean AS
the day they We're issued. They came
from Philadelphia, where no doubt they
had lain through all the years since
they were issued in 1858. They were
the last Of the series, and when they
were cancelled there were no more 'yS
bonds outstanding against the city.
They were due in February, 1898, and
drew no interest after that date.
OF the old city bonds there are S3,10O
