Tri.Cities Should Make an Early
Bid for Visit From
Executive.
WILL GO TO PACIFIC COAST
To Be Accompanied BY Mem.
bers of Cabinet and
Others.

Plans are under way at Washington
for trip by President Mckinley and
party to the Pacific coast. The timer.
airy has not yet been completed, and
hence offers another opportunity iol
the tri-cities TO bid for visit from
the nations chief executive.
The present intention is to leave
Washington in May. The route west
will be the southern. 1t is the ex'
pectation to do California leisurely,
Stops of several days will be made in
the vicinity of Los Angeles. At San
francisco the president will witness
the launching of the Ohio.
Additional interest will be given by
the presence of members of the cabi.
net and their families. 1t is the presi
DENTS desire to have as companions
as many of his secretaries as may be
able to make the trip. There will be
20 or 80 people in the party. Cabinet
meetings will be held and necessary
public business will be transacted en-
route. Secretary Cortelyou and some
other members of the executive staff
will goa A presidential train will
accommodate the party. - A month OF
possibly more will be consumed. The
president goes not alone for recrea-
ton. His purpose is to acquaint him
self with conditions in portion of
the country which he expected to visit
in his first administration, when he
was compelled to defer his plans on
account of the war.
After doing California the president
and party will go to Oregon and
Washington, returning slowly by the
northern route. The arrival in Wash
ington will not be until some time in
June.
Should See the Arsenal.
If the southern route is not foreor-
dained via some road that bears away
from here. it is in order to suggest
that the itinerary for the honorable
party be arranged to include the tri-
cities and Rock Island arsenal. The
Rock Island will thence bear the party
as far to the southwark as there may
be desire to GO, or the c., B & O.
will do the same thing. 1t will be
vastly better for the arsenal if the
whole administrative household can
have look at it, and this seems to be
the opportunity of all others. If any
thing is accom- plished in this matter
the work must be done soon. Other
places will be after the party. and ar
rangements will be made. The busi-
ness men and everybody else with in
fuence ought to be at work on the
matter. There is a tri-city general
committee for such purposes as this

Clifton, Ont, Places Strong Guard
Over Alleged Dynamitcrs.
Buffalo, n. V, April PA Niagara
Falls special to the Express: says:
Chief Youngs, of the Dominion
police, his force of half dozen regu-
lar policemen and 200 armed deputies
are guarding the Jail at Clifton, Ont.
where are confined the three men
charged with blowing up Lock No.
81, of the Weland canal, at Thorold.
Ont, Saturday evening"
The extraordinary precautions tax
en- for the guarding of the men is the
result of Il rl,mor that reached Chief
Youngs to the effect that 400 Buffalo
grain shovclcrs were on their way
here to libcratc the prisoners. The
militia of the district, the Fort "
fourth battalion, has been warned for
service and can be molilized at Clifton
at short notice. 1t is believed by many
persons that the dynamiters were
sought TO blow up the lock for the
canal, thereby preventing the passage
of grain through the canal from Port
Colbornc to Montreal. With the canal
closed, it is argued, the scoopers OF
Buffalo might have more work than
they would have with the canal open
This line of reasoning. aided by r,i,
mors of an impending invasion OF
scoopcrs from Buffalo resulted i'm the
heroic measures taken by Chief
Youngs.
1t is believed the force at hand will
be able to repcl any party that may
attempt to release the men from Jail
That such an attempt will be made is
not generally credited.

President Mckinley is believed to
have set a day during the coming
fortnight for conference with lead
ers of both the regular and union re-
publican factions, with a view to
bringing them together. There is no
doubt President Mckinley has at last
given ear to the opportunities for a
single ticket i'm Delaware. and has
asked for Il personal interview with
Colonel Dupont and Aldicks, leaders
OF both factions.
The unions have made their prop
osition. Their scheme is to pitch in
and elect Il ticket with Il fair repre-
scniation Of each faction upon it. and
equal representation in the Philadcl-
phia convention. provided that all re-
publican legislatures shall go into
caucus and ballot for their choice;
that the highest man voted for be
selected for the long term senatorship
and he next highest man be chosen
for he short term. This will certain
lv mean that the senators will be Dll-

will be enough republican friends for
each to carry out this plan. The
union republican leaders promise to
make known the result at Washing
