M'KINLEY IS BETTER
And Will Make the Trip to
Philadelphia.

Washington, April 26.-President Nc
kinley has almost completely recovered
from his attack of neuralgia and this
morning he took a half hours walk on
Pennsylvania avenue. He was unac-
companied. He walked leisure1y and
upon his return to the White House,
felt much refreshed. There is no change
in his plan to attend the unwilling of
the Grant monument at Philadelphia
tomorrow. But owing to the fact that
he must bear the strain of the journey
and attendance upon the exercises and
functions which have been arranged in
Philadelphia, he decided not to receive
general visitors today. Only cabinet Of
fcers or those who had urgent business
with the president were admitted.
Capt. Coghlan will be in command of
the Raleigh when President Mckinley
pays his visit of state to the cruiser at
Philadelphia. 1t has been determined
that prior to the ceremonial visit, if at
all, no change shall be made in the
command as the result of the utter
ances of Capt Coghlan. The president
takes the ground that it would be an
unkfnd and unwarranted reflection on
the officers and crew of the ship to alb
stain from paying the visit which has
been arranged for and occupies a prom
1nent place on the programme.

OCEAN LINERS RACE IN.
The Umbria Beats the New York
From Off Nantucket Lightship.

New York, April 26.-An ocean race
took place between the old time rivals,
the Umbria and the New York. The
officers of the Umbria reported the race;
the New Yorks officers did not men
ton it.
The Umbria's lookout reported can
American line steamship dead ahead
at a. m. off Nantucket lightship which
is $50 miles from New York. Her pas
sengers soon noticed that the. engines
seemed to take new life, and she began
to shoot through the water more rapid
ly. The New York's officers apparently
discovered the Cunarder at about the
same time, for a bIacker smoke began
rolling out of her tunnels. The UNI
bria gained steadily and at 1880 a.
m. passed her rival. At 4:49 p. m. she
crossed the Sandy Hook bar, just TWEEN
ty-three minutes ahead of the New
York
The. officers of the New York some
how forgot to mention the sighting of
the Cunarder in the extract of the log
given out at quarantine; the officers of
the Umbria, on the contrary, carefully
mentioned that at 1890 a. M, in lati
tude 40 degrees and So minutes and
longitude II degrees and L minute, they
passed the steamship New York.
An idea of the speed made by the
noon until the liners Slackened down at
crossing the bar into port. In hours
and 40 minutes the Umbria covered 101
nautical miles, and the New York, in
hours and IL minutes, Travelled 1905
miles.

Some said it was a bandanna. hand
kerchief and others said it was a rem
nant of silk to be used for a bathing
suit and had been hung up there to
dry.
The man with the spy glass gave up
his guess and handed the instrument
around but none would bet two bits on
the corner whether it was a piece of
washing or a signal for the Manhattan
Investigating committee to come home.
The crowd hunted up one of the
janitors and inquired from him what
it was they were looking at. The jan
itor explained that it was or had been
a flag. It had not been through any
bombardment nor had it been captured
by the enemy.
Perhaps some one tore that piece out
to make a patch for their trousers"
suggested one.
Where the piece has gone to can not
be told but the lower right hand corner
is missing.
Perhaps some day, my son. said a
man in the crowd who was leading
boy by the hand, you may see a nice
large garrison flag floating from that
dome I say perhaps. If you live long
enough. But it will probably not be
in my day." said the man with a sigh
as he moved away. 1t may be after
janitors are found who have energy
enough to take the flag down at night.

FRYE Is SUSPICIOUS.
Thinks Reeds Change of Base May
Have Politics In It.

New York, April 26.-The World says:
Senator Frye was asked last night
what he thought would be the result
of the Coghlan incident. He said:
"It may result unpleasantly to Capt.
Coghlan but have no idea that a war
with Germany will be the outcome.
There will be no war. If Germany
she would lose her best customer and
would have a revolution on her hands
at home within six months.
Il believe that Speaker Reed intends
to resign. I have been satisfied on that
score for some time.
In my opinion Mr.. Reeds retirement
is actuated solely by a desire to i'm
prove his financial condition, and he
thinks there is a better chance to do so
in New York than in Maine. Still, I
won't say that Mr.. Reed has not also a
political anchor to windward and real
ICES that New York offers many oppor-
tunities for political preferment.
THE situation in the Philippines is
not nearly so good as I should like to
see it. When we were in Paris no one
connected with the commission believ-
ed that more than five thousand soldiers
would be needed there at any time.
81 believe the F'ilipinos will soon
learn that American governors are not
like their Spanish predecessors. The
idea is a, false one. am hopeful that
the trouble in the island soon will come
to an end.
about the coming presidential cam
pajgn? 1 have not given it much at
tention. In my opinion Bryan will be
nominated by the Democrats.
Free silver will certainly be an issue
If Bryan has his way, but it is my be-
lief that the issues of the war will be
the features in the next presidential
campaign.
What will the senate do in relation
to Quay? 1 can't speak for all the SEN
ators, but I know that shall vote to
seat Mr.. Quay"

Relatives

Evansville, Ind, April 26.-WaIter NC
Corkle, % years of age, married and
divorced, refused a whipping in police
court this morning and was sentenced
by Judge. Winfrey to the Indiana re-
formatOry for from one to three years.
McCorkle comes of one of the oldest
and most esteemed families in the city
and seems to be a degenerate. Monday
he stole a fine horse from his grand
fathers barn and sold it to a Gypsy for
$12.50. The theft was traced to him
and he was arrested in the Tender
1oin'' district. Yesterday he was given
the alternative of taking a, whipping by
his grandfather or being sent to the
penitentiary. This morning McCorkIe's
mother appeared in police court and de-
clared that she believed a whipping
would do him no good, and that other
punishment should be given him. 'She's
right said McCorkle; 'let her go the
other way" McCorkle was then SEN
fenced to the reformatOry on an in
determinate sentence of one to three
years.

Pasadena, Gala, April 26.-Hillary S.
Starr, superintendent of Oak Knoll
ranch, has strangely disappeared and
the indications are that he was muir
dered. His brother Charles was assist
ing him in fixing a pump half a mile
from the ranch house. Charles went to
his cabin to put on his working clothes
and when he returned twenty minutes
later Hillary was nowhere to be found.
A lantern carried by the missing man
was found smashed to pieces, and not
far from the door of the pump house
there was evidence of a fearful struggle
having taken place. The tall grass was
trampled down and scattered about

nickels and dimes, from the pockets
of the superintendent and later on his
revolver was found in the vicinity.
