The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-02-17

Boston, Feb. 16-The Home Market
Club gave President Mckinley and his
cabinet a most magnificent greeting
tonight. No word of less emphasis or
less comprehensive meaning describes
either the proportions or the character
of the audience which packed the great
hall in the Mechanics building as
probably it never was packed before,
or satisfies the spectators memories
Of the intense enthusiasm which char
acterized that noble gathering of peo-
pie.
There was a turmoil of excitement
when the presidential party entered
and took their seats at the tables, and
ever after it was eager to break out
afresh. "The Star Spangled Banner"
as played by the band, was one of the
notable occasions for the waving of
handkerchiefs. The entire audience
rose, the president and his cabinet and
all others who were with him turned
and faced the band, and the president
himself Joined in the singing. There
was a similar demonstration when the
Hon. William B. Plunkett of Adams.
president of the club, began the speak
ing.
Gov. Woleoft was very enthusiastic
ally received the people rising, waving
handkerchiefs and napkins and wind

THE INDEMNITY,
Paragraph Striker Out in
Sundry Civil Bill.

Washington, Feb 1.-two sensa-
tional and unexpected things happened
in the House today during the consid-
GRAFTON of the sundry civil bill
The paragraph carrying the appro-
priation of $2O,OOO,OOO for payment to
Spain under the terms of the peace
treaty, was stricken out upon a point
of order made by Mr.. Wheeler, a Ken
lucky democrat, VINO declared that he
opposed the appropriation on principle
and would resort to any technically
to defeat it.
The point of order was debated for
hours, its determination Ringing upon
the question of whether the ratifica-
ton of the treaty blythe Senate and its
signing by the president, vitalized II
without the action of the Spanish cor
ties.
Mr., Hopkins (rep) of Illinois who
was in the chair sustained the point OF
order against it and upon an appeal his
decision was sustained, 149 to S.
Mr., Cannon then attempted to. have
the appropriation inserted by 1nani-
nous consent, but Mr. Wheeler again
objected.
After the sundry civil bill had been
completed and reported to the House
MI Iltppuih VI IOWd, llioNeu 10 re-
commit it with Instructions to report II
back with the Nicaragua canal bill in
corporated in it. This was an unex-
pected movement. The motion was de-
clared out of order by the speaker
whereupon Mr.. Hepburn appealed, and
Mr.. Payne of New York moved to table
the appeal. The vote upon the latter
motion resulted 81 ayes to 81 nays. AS
no quorum was developed, the friends
of the canal bill managed to carry an
adjournment until tomorrow.

WILL NOT PLAY DARTMOUTH
Holy Cross Baseball Schedule Does Not
Call for Game With the Hanover Team

Just as soon as Manager Donnely fills in
one date the Holy Cross base ball sched-
ule for '99 will be complete. 1t will then
be ready for publication.
For the first time in many years the
Holy Cross team has been granted per-
mission by the faculty to remain away
from home over night Heretofore it has
been a strict rule with every athletic
team that out-of-town dates must be so
arranged as to make possible the return
of the Holy Cross men to college that
night This has. of course, prevented the
college team from making any extended
trips, such as are allowed in almost every
other college.
A month or so ago, however, Manager
Donnelly prevailed upon the advisory
board of the faculty to sanction a game
with Fordham at Fordham, which means
York over night. The Fordham date is
May IL. Manager Donnelly attempted
also to make a longer trip that might re-
uuire the absence of the team from col
lege for three or four days. The faculty
would not consent to more than one night
away during the season, and the trip was
accordingly given up,
! 1t will be surprise to great many to
| learn that Holy Cross has no game sched-
uled with Dartmouth. For several sea-
sons the Hanover team has always been
| the Memorial day attraction at the coll
| lege grounds in this city, but this year
| Dartmouth will not meet Holy Cross
That no game has been scheduled is the
outcome of the trouble which arose be-
| tween the foot ball authorities of the two
colleges last fall. Dartmouth. it will be
remembered, was scheduled to play here
but owing to a dispute over the guaran-
| tee the game was cancelled and never
| played The Holy Cross men felt sore
and when a proposition was received for a
base ball game next spring the scheme
was quickly turned down.
| The schedule, it is said, comprises about
| the same games and colleges as were met
Hast year.

SELECTMAN TAFT'S CAREER
Was Chairman of Northbrldge Board and
Staunch Republican.

Whitinsville, Feb. 16.-Francis E
Taft Of Northbridge left for Boston this
afternoon, apparently in the best OF
health and spirits. He seemed to be
in robust health.
Mr.. Taft was member of the old
TART family of Northbridge hill, and
has been resident Of this town nearly
all of his life. He followed farming
and stock and poultry raising, and had
not been in public life to an appreciable
extent until the last five years
About five years ago the Northbridee
NIL district demanded recognition on the
board of selectmen. and Mr.. Taft was
placed before the town caucus nomin-
ated. and at the April meeting in 1898
was elected to the board of selectmen
Tor term of three years. Two years
ago he was elected to the chairmanshiu
OF the board. Last fall Mr.. Taft re-
ceived the republican nomination for
representative, but was defeated at the
Dolls by the democratic nominee, DR.,
Charles II. Hartman.

dent of the Home Market Club dinner
tonight was the sudden death of F. e.
Taft of Whitinsville. He had Mr..
Whitin's place at table A on the stage.
Mr.. Taft seemed very much excited
when President Mckinley entered the
hall. Afterward Mr.. Taft apparently
had little appetite for dinner and took
little interest in conversation. Suddenly
his neighbors heard a gurgling and
coughing, and then he fell from his
chair He was carried, apparently
lifeless, to an ante-room, where medical
aid was summoned as speedily as pos
sible, but it was of no avail. Heart
disease was the cause assigned.
The news of death was kept as quiet
as possible, but it spread through some
portions of the great hall, though it
did not appear to reach the presidential
party.
