M'KINLEY'S WELCOME
To Jekyl Island Participated in by
Speaker Reed

Brunswick, Ga, March 21.-President
Mckinley rested last night on Jekyl
Island, the beautiful winter club home
of a number of eastern millionaires, on
St. Simon's sound, ten miles up the
coast from Brunswick. With him are
Mrs. Mckinley, Vice President and Mrs.
Hobart and Senator Hanna. They are
the guests of ex-Secretary Of the Inte-
rior Cornelius N Bliss whom the presi-
dent promised to visit last year. In an
other cottage on the island is Speaker
Thomas B. Reed. All persons in any
way concerned in their presence at
Jekyl Island assert positively and unre-
servedly that the visit of the two rival
political leaders at the same time Is a
mere coincidence. Whether any i'm
provement of their strained personal or
political relations will be one of the ac-
cidents of their inevitable meeting on
the island no one will predict.
The speaker probably will leave Jekyl
this afternoon or Wednesday and the
presidential party on Wednesday fore
noon. The run of the presidential train
here from Townsville over the Plant
system was rapid and without incident.
A committee from the Jekyl Island club,
comprising ex-Secretary Bliss, Author
Thomas Page, Gable Promoter J. A.
Scyrmzer and Coal Operator Joseph
Styckney of Philadelphia, welcomed the
president, and assisted by Mayor At
kinson and former Mayor Crovatt, es-
corted him to Jekyl Island. The presi-
Q0nI was STeeIeu WITH IL rev cheers
which he slightly acknowledged by lift
ing his hat when he emerged from the
train and assisted Mrs. Mckinley to the
carriage which took them to where the
revenue cutter Colfax lay in waiting.
Another small volley of cheers broke
forth as the boat cast off and started on
the trip to Jekyl.
Speaker Reed, some club members,
and a score of pretty girls in summer
frOcks, were at the waters edge to greet
the presidential party. The big speak
er's attitude was characteristic, his
hands behind his back and his head
thrown back and upward. When the
president walked ashore, Mr.. Reed snlil
ingly raised his hat and said: How do
you do. Mr.. President" Mr.. Mckinley
acknowledged the greeting with a low
bow and How do you do, Mr.. Speaker"
The president and Mrs. Mckinley en-
tered a carriage and drove away. Late
in the afternoon the president and Vice
President Hobart went out driving. The
stay of the president at Jekyl will be
made pleasant and likewise as infor-
NAL as possible. No reception will be
given and Mr.. Mckinley and the others
will be treated during their stay as a
part of the islands large family. The
president and party are Quartered in the
cottage of Frederick Baker who is in
Europe travelling. The president and
Mrs. Mckinley rested for an hour or
two, and at dinner had with them Mr..
Bliss, Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Nelson
Page, and one or two others.
The meeting of the president and the
speaker at the wharf was watched with
interest by all persons assembled.

SUMNER CAMPS AGAIN.
Secretary Alger Will Arrange For
About 5000 Men.

Washington, March 21.-Secretary AL
ger has come to the determination to
maintain summer camps for the United
States troops in the southern states and
the delegation of Georgians who called
upon him yesterday to secure that OBJ
ject will be so informed 1t is also the
intention to maintain one of the camps
in the neighborhood of Atlanta. The
only condition is that the present Geor-
gia quarantine regulations which oper-
ate so as to prevent the movement of
troops absolutely demanded by the mill
tary needs of the case, shall be adapted
to the requirements.
The number of troops to be located
at any one camp will not be large. for
it is said at the department that only
about $4,000 soldiers will be so located,
but there is likely to be much changing
around among the men. Troops return
ing from Cuba are to be detained in the
Georgia camps, about twenty days at
least before being sent to their homes,
or to the northern posts.

STUMBLING BLOCKS.
Washburn College Trustees Select an
Impossible Rate For Paving.

The trustees of Washburn college, at
their meeting Monday afternoon, were
of the opinion that the college can not
afford any paving unless the proposed
route is changed from Warren street
to Fifteenth street and thence south to
the college. This would tax the college
for but one small group of lots, While
the Warren street route proposed would
tax two other groups on corners as
well.
Some of the property owners who
favor paving appeared before the truS-
tees meeting and stated to the truS-
tees that the Fifteenth street route was
out of the question, for the reason that
a paving petition could not be secured
on that route for two blocks and that
every taxpayer was a resident and with
but two or three exceptions would pro-
test.
Judge F. G. Adams and one or two
others, property owners on the FIT
teenth street route, are said to be the
only taxpayers favorable to paving.
Judge Adams said: Il should be great
ly pleased if we could secure pave
ment. L certainly shall not stand IN
the way of any public Improvement,
but so far as the Fifteenth street route
is concerned, even with my assistance,
there would not be enough other prop
erty owners on Fifteenth street ana IN
the next block on College avenue, pro
posed to be paved by that route, to
make the required petition for paw
ing"
The conditions are OlIIerent III Ih0
next block south on College avenue.
That block is quite we'll built up and the
property owners on the west side, which
is out of the city, propose to pay in ad-
vance if paving is ordered.
The property owners along the War
rem street route are now looking into
the merits of macadam paving, ana
some of the college trustees expressed
themselves favorable to paving with
that material and favorable to paving
Warren street south to the college
grounds. One very strong argument IN
favor of that route is that it is not cut
I'D with trolley line as is College ave-
nue.. and the paving tax will be more
evenly distributed.

REV. MR.. GARLOCK's PAST.
Rev. ]. d. Knox Says He Has Been
Useful ReviValist Elsewhere

To the Editor of the State Journal:
The article in the Journal of yesterday
about Rev Mr.. Garlock does him some in
JUSTICE in that 1t states he refused 70 leave
the First NJ. E. church when requested to
90 so by the pastor. This L know to be
contrary to the fact. Even when some
of us We're making an effort to have the
request revoked, MIR. Garlock told me and
others: Never mind; it is fixed and can
not be changed" and we found it difficult
to get him to remain until Saturday even

In addition to this, he had once en-

the benevolent causes. Rev. Mr.. TrirnbIe
said he believed that Mr.. GarlOck deserV-

by Presiding Elder Trimble.

French Faith in British Honesty

story is being told. for the accuracy of
which we cannot vouch, but which is
probably true. and which illustrates the
implicit confidence of the continent in
British fairness Some merchants of Havre
recently satisfied themselves that France
and England would come to blows over
Fashoda, and believed that in this case
Havre would be the first place exposed to
bombardment. They cast about. there
fore, for ways of protecting their goods.
and finally decided to insure them at
LloydS. feeling assured that whatever the
law. the British underwriters would pay
for goods, upon which they had accepted
risks. This is good a testimony to
British probity as the conduct of the Afri-
dis. who. when ready to revolt against
the white rule. sent their women into
Peshawur to be taken care of. is to British
humanity. We believe that whenever war
is probable on the continent masses of
money are invested in London, and that
many of the great bankers could tell
strange stories of the reckless confidence
placed by enemies in British firms. Yet
the very same men are not certain that
the British treasury is not spending secret
service money in promoting the Dreyfus
agitatiOn.-London Spectator.

A SALT PALACE
Is to Be Erected in Salt Lake City of
Rock Salt

Salt Lake, Utah March 21.-Some
thing new in the way of palaces is to be
erected in this city shortly. Cities in a
cold climate erect ice palaces, but Salt
Lake intends to put up a salt palace.
Millions of tons of rock salt are avail
able and a committee, already appoint
ed, is to meet tomorrow to complete the
arrangements. 1t is said there are no
difficulties in the way of making the
proposed palace entirely of salt. When
completed it will certainly be a novelty
and will doubtless attract visitors not
only from the intermountain section,
but from all parts of the country.
