Dramatic Manner and is
Dying in Hospital.

Paris June Boulevard Goering, for

A WARM WELCOME.
President Mckinley and His Wife
Again Domiciled in Their
Old Home.

Canton, O., June 30.-At 1890 a. H.
today President and Mrs. Mckinley
reached Canton. Fifteen minutes later
the President was in his own home, the
remodeled cottage in North Market
street, made famous in the campaign Of
'96, shaking hands with the members Of
the citizens reception committee of 1896,
who had arranged the informal reception
and escorted him through crowded streets
to his home. A minute later he was on
crowd which filled the streets and
tramped the grass just as the crowds did
four years ago.
President Mckinley said:
My Fellow Citizens: 1t Is needless for
me to say that we are very glad to get
one of you as of Old And the pleasure is
very greatly enhanced by the warm and
hearty welcome which my old neighbors
and fellow citizens have given me here
this morning, for which | most profoundly
thank you all.
These remarks were wildly cheered.
The reception was entirely non-parti-
san, a welcome of friends to friends. 1t
was accompanied by boisterous rejoic-
ing that seemed by continuation of the
outbreak of joy with which the news of
the denomination was received last week.
the eastern limits of the city. Whistles
all over the city joined in the deafening
welcome.
When the party left the train, the citi-
zens' reception committee of ninety-siX,
wearing the badges which became famii-
lar then. opened the way to the carriage.
The Presidents private carriage took
Mrs. Mckinley and her maid directly to
the Barber home. The President, Sec
rotary Cortelyou and other members of
the party were driven direct to the Nc
Kinley home through the business sec
ton Of the city. The Canton troop and
the mounted reception committee of '96
led the way. AS the house was reached
the g. A. r. band played Home, Sweet
Home
What Canton did in welcoming the
President, other cities along the route did
to the extent of the opportunity offered
by the brief stops of a fast train. From
daylight ON there was an almost contlnu-
Gus ovation for the train. The President
responded by appearing on the platform
and acknowledging them with bows and
waving of his hat. Both the President
and Mrs. Mckinley appeared to be in ex-
cellent health.

Taku, June 27.-The greatest anxiety

Admiral Kempff believes that large rein

The remainder of the British and 300

chiefly of Russians and Germans took up
the route chosen by Waller. They were
repulsed however.
Chinese Exploded Mine.
On June 81 the Russians became en-

First Major Waller reinforced them and

one of the boats.
Chinese Side with Boxers.
Admiral Kempff opposed the policy Of
attacking the Chinese army unless they
began hostilities. 1t is now admitted
that the powers attacking the forts
turned the Chinese into allies with the
Boxers. Americans think this might
have been avoided. Admiral Kempff
has held aloof from hostilities beyond
movements necessary to rescue Ameri-
cans.
The forces ashore number 10000, of
which 5000 are British; 1900 Germans;
1000 Russians; 5000 japanese, and the
remainder American, French, Italian

with great determination. We repulseG
them, with a loss Of about 100 killed. Our

We pushed forward to Anting and en-

Extensive destruction of the railway in
our front having made further advance by

MRS. STACEY INDIGNANT.
Says Senator Plat Snapped His Fin

New York, June Ex-senator Plat,
according to Mrs. May Banks Stacey,
member of the West End Women's Re
publican club, snapped his fingers in her
face recently.
There is a slight difference of opinion,
for Senator Platt is too polite to contra
dict a woman. He doesn't remember"
any such incident. Senator Platt's state
ment today was characteristic.
81 have no recollection of being party
to any such incident" he declared. Il
always try to treat persons with courtesy
and if ever / do otherwise it is because
they deserve it.
The members of the West End club
have declared that Mrs. Stacey must
have been mistaken in what she said,
but Mis-. Stacey points out that one isn't
apt to mistake swapping fingers for a
gentle greeting, Mrs. Stacey talked
quite frankly about the incident today.
IF the club wants to support Senator
Platt, that's their business" Mrs Sta
cey declared. "What l said is true.
He did snap his fingers right in my face,
and his words as he did SO were:
