PRESIDENTS SPEECH.

Mr.. Mckinley said a:
Gentlemen of the Union League: An
after.dinner speech is to me always
difficult performance; an after'election
speech after a dinner is still more diff
cult task, and l shall do little more than
make acknowledgment to this patriotic
association for its unceasing loyalty to the
Government: for the earnest support 1t
has given to the present administration In
the trying years through which it has
passed, and express my sincere thanks for
the great honor this meeting and demon
stration bring to me.
"We must not withhold generous ac'
acknowledgement from that great body OF
our citizens, who, belonging to another
party, powerfully assisted in the achieve
ment of the result which you celebrate to-
night; nor from the other large body,
former members of our own party, who,
with honesty Of purpose, separated from
us few years ago and have now returned
and are home again to stay. Nor is any
accounting for the victory either just or
accurate which leaves out of the calculs-
ton the almost unbroken column OF labor
engaged in mechanics and agriculture,
which rejected the false doctrine OF class
distinction as having no place in this re-
public.

The export trade of the United States

Trade reports indicate that the coming

By special request, we publish second

From what we have heard ballots quite
as bad as those used in Scott county we're
also used in Dckenson and Washington

would permit.
We notice that none Of our Democratic

make reference to the official ballot used
in Scott county at the recent election. The
reason, perhaps, is that they cannot de-

To Seek Alterations.

Washington, November 26.-The State
Department has been informed OF the
agreement or understanding or prelimin-
sry treaty lit is not possible now to learn
in lust what form the matter stands, j
practically reached by the foreign minis
ters at Pekin. 1t is not regarded as proper
to give out for publication at this time any
detailed information respecting the agree
ment. 1t may be stated, however, that
the agreement stands very poor chance
of receiving the sanction Of all the powers
represented in the Pekin conference, un'
less some material amendments are per-
mitted.
lust what the Objectionable features are,
can only be surinised, in view OF the ad'
verse decision of the authorities respecting
publication. But accepting as accurate
tire statement from Pekin that the basis
of the agreement is to be found In the
French note, it is easy to perceive that
there are no less than two points which,
if concluded in their original shape. would
not meet with the unqualified approval OF
our government. For instance, the Presi-
dent expressly reserved bis opinion as to
the proposition that the Taku forts be dis
maptled. He also withheld approval OF
the French proposition that there be a
permanent military occupation at two or
three points on the road between Tientsin
and Pekin.
Unless the ministers at Pekin have made
yerv substantial change in the require
ments of the French note. therefore, II
may be predicted that this government
will feel obliged to seek some alterations IN
the arrangement before it gives adherence
There is some reason to believe that the
indemnity provision has taken such an ex
cessive form as to make it impossible fol
the Chinese government to meet the de
mand, and this fact, taken in connection
, with the unreasonable demands of some o
the powers respecting punishments, may
; require our government to make activ'
efforts to have the demands moderated
r TLere are indirations, too, that IN thes
efforts our government is to receive tn
support of one of the most powerful Of tn
governments represented in the Pekil
conference and one which generally ha
been supposed of late to have favored al

SOLEMN OCCASION.

Nothing in government can be more
impressive than national election where
the people delegate their power and invest
their constitutional agents with authority
to execute their behests. The very CHAR
acter of the transaction clothes it with col

are always momentous. What lesson in

portance and the far-reaching consequence
es of the electoral contest which ended on

but an emphatic declaration Of the people
of what they believe and would have main
tanned in government.
UNQUESTIONED ENDORSEMENT.
"a great variety of subjects were pre-
sented and discussed in the progress of the
campaign. We may differ as to the extent
of the influence involved, but We are all
agreed as to certain things which it settled.
1t records the unquestioned endorsement
of the gold standard, industrial indepen-

pansion, reciprocal trade, the open door in
China, the inviolability of public trust and
the independence and authority Of the
judiciary and peace and beneficial govern

impaired, the American name unimpeach-

IN ARMENIAN DIsTRICT.

Moreover, being located in the Armen'
ian district where 80 many outrages upon
Christians have occurred, it is extremely
desirable that our government should have
some impartial representative to watch
over interests of American citizens.
The last adverse decision of the Turkish
government in this matter has not modi-
fed the orders to the big battleship Ken
lucky to proceed from Naples to Smyrna
She sailed today, and should arrive in
Smyrna in the ordinary course Monday or
Tuesday next. 1t is, of course, not ex'
pected that the ship is to make war single
handed on Turkey, but it is thought that
the moral influence Of this exhibition OF
American naval power may be beneficial
in settling the question of exaquatur, as
well as the long pending missionary claima
against Turkey.

Washington, November 4.-The Tur'
kish authorities refused to grant an exc
ouatur to DR.. Thomas II. Norton to act
as United States Consul at Harpoot, the
indications point to some retaliatory meas
ure on the part Of our government in the
near future. The Turkish contention now
is that they permitted United States
consulate 20 be established at Erzeroum
under al implied understanding that the
United States would abandon its claim to
a consulate at Harpoot.
That there was some shadow Of founda-
ton for this understanding is admitted;
but it is still the purpose of the United
States to establish this consulate, because
the British government has since been
permitted to locate q consul at Harpoot
and, under the favored nation clause Of
our treaty with Turkey, the United States
government claims the same commercial
privileges as Great Britain. There is be-
side a peculiarly potent reason for the
presence of a United States representative
at Harpoot, for at that point is located
some Of the most important and flourish
ing American missionary interests in Tur.
