President Returns to Washing
ton This Morning.
Crowds COngregate at All the
Stations.
HE DOES NOT SPEAK.
Shows Himself ON Rear Plat
form Several Times.
Cabinet Meeting Called as Soon
as President Arrives.

Washington, Aug. 2.-President Nc
kinley, accompanied by Secretary
Cortelyou. reached Washington at 1880
this morning. They Travelled in a spe-
cial car attached to the regular Penn
sylvania train which left Canton yes
terday afternoon.
At all the stations through Ohio and
Pennsylvania, while daylight lasted
crowds congregated. While the presi-
dent appeared on the rear platform.
several times in response to the greet
ings Of the people the stops were brief
and he made no attempt to speak.
At Economy, Pa, Mr.. Abner McKin-
ley, the presidents brother, boarded the
train and rode with the president as
far as Pittsburg. The president was
met at the train by Secretary Root,
General Corbin and Executive Clerk
Prttden, who accompanied him to the
white House. There is no particular
significance in the presidents trip to
Washington at this time.
When he returned to Canton two
weeks ago he arranged to come to
Washington every fortnight to dispose
of such official business as has accumu-
lated in the meantime and go personally
over the Chinese situation with his cab
met advisers.
In this way the necessity of sending
many bulky papers to Canton for his ex-
animation and signature would be avoid

pOrtunity periodically of consulting with
the members of the cabinet. 1t is off,
cially stated that nothing had developed
in connection with the Chinese situation
which especially demanded his presence
in Washington at the present time. 1t is
the presidents intention to return to
Canton tomorrow night.
After the president had reached the
White House call for cabinet meet
ing for IL this morning was issued. Aside
from this the cabinet officers who are
in the city, win hold an individual con-
ference with the president. Secretary
Long who intended last night to start
for bingham, Mass. ,on his annual vaca-
tion, remained over and called on the
president on his way to the station this
morning. While the secretary had
new dispatches from China. he discussed
the general phases of the situation with
the president. He announced that the
president was unusually well and in fine
spirits.

NEW JERSEY TO ACT.
Secretary Hay Requests Official
Investigation of Plot
Against Humbert.

New York, Aug. 2.-In compliance with
an urgent representation made by Am
bassador Fava, the Italian representa-
requested the governor of New Jersey
to take measures to obtain evidence pre-
liminary to the prosecution of any per-
sons within his state who conspired to
bring about the assassination of King
Humbert, says the Washington cores
pondent of the Herald. Within a very
short time. therefore the authorities ex-
pect to have officially determined the
question whether the crime was the re-
suit of conspiracy Matched in the Uni
ted States.
The communication received at the
state department from Baron F'ava
shows clearly that he has placed detec-
tives at work to put the responsibility
for the crime upon the shoulders OF
those persons in Paterson who conspired
with Bresci to murder the king.
Baron Fava has not. of course, asked
for the extradition of any persons who
took part in the conspiracy, nor is he
likely to do so as such a request could
not be entertained by this government. .
1t may be, however, that the laws of
New Jersey contain a provision under
which the conSpirators can be prosecu-
ted
The administration is especially anx-
fbus to show Italy that it proposes to
take whatever action it can to punish
any persons who conspired with Brescf
against the king. 1t is appreciated that
until vigorous measures are taken Italy
will not consider that this government
has behaved in friendly manner and
the cordial relations which exist be-
tween the two governments may in con-
sequences be endangered.
