CHINESE ENTER PROTEST
OBJECT TO BEING INOCULATED
WITH BUBONIC PLAGUE.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The Chinese
minister has received numerous kilograms
from Chinese residents of San Francisco
asking him to have revoked the order
that they shall be inoculated with the
anti-plague serum. The situation i'll San

enforced.
The minister commented upon the fact
that the whites are not being treated,
and expressed the opinion that this was
not fair.
The minister today received a telegram
from the Chinese consul general at San
Francisco, which states that after
thorough investigation, the state board Of
health has officially declared there is no
plague in San Francisco The federal
doctors, however, are preventing Chinese
from entering or leaving the city unless
inoculated. Some Chinese, who have sub

says. became violently i'll. and are now
in a dying condition. All doctors agree
that the operation was dangerous. There
should be no cause for surprise, said the
minister, under the circumstances, that
the ignorant Chinese should think it
conspiracy to kill them. The serum
might be good for other people, but for
the Chinese 1t might be a very bad thing.
The minister has asked the surgeon
general OF the marine hospital service to
have the inoculation stopped, and a
promise was secured to bring the matter
to the attention of the government. II
this does not prove satisfactory. the
Chinese minister says he will make rep

SENTIMENT AND SUPERSTITION
President Mckinley Said to BE
Save to Both.


Save to Both.
Washington Special to New York World.
President Mckinley, whose success has
been achieved en- the lines Of the prac-
teal politician, is slave to sentiment
and superstition.
Mr.. Mckinley has had the size Of his
house in Canton. o., almost doubled. As.
a matter of sentiment he has retained the
old front. 1t was in that house he and
his bride enjoyed their honeymoon, there
that their children were born and died
and ne has desired, while vie ding to the
necessity of having a larger house, to
preserve the appearance of the old one,
hallOWed by the memories OF the years
The president is superstitious about do
ing things over again He wishes to
copy, as far as possible, his movements
and plans of four years ago. He desires
to be notified of his nomination for pres
ident in the same house and room IN
which he was notified IN 1926. The Can
ton Grand Army band has played in every
district state and national convention
that has nominated him since he first
ran for congress, except one. That was
in 1890, and Mr. Mckinley was defeated.
He said the result might have been diff
ferent if the Grand Army band had been
present He has arranged for its attend
anCe at the national convention
SO far as possible, Mr. Mckinley will
endeavor to have the campaign conducted
on the lines that resulted in his election
in 1896. He will go to Canton as soon
as congress adjourns, receive the hotifi-
cation of his denomination there and re
main there until shortly before thu cleo
ton of November 6. taking few short
trips for rest. Reports are conflicting as
to whether he will receive delega tions
and make front-pOrch speeches, as he
did four years ago.
The fact that several sleeping rooms
have been added means that President
Mckinley will be host to many Of his en-
inent political visitors this summer. Ho-
tel accommodations in Canton have al
ways been wretched, and the president
proposes that all who visit Canton to
see him shall be given. suitable entertain
ment.
The new dining room Is the largest in
Canton. and will accommodate twenty
five or thirty guests If necessary.
