WASHINGTON. D. c.. August 2. =
Secretary Corteiyou gave out the In
formation to-day that President Nc
Kinley VIII be unable to attend the G..
a. r. encampment on account OF the
strife In China. II !, 81
+ An official Of the government. discuss
ing the determination OF the President
to postpone his visit to Chicago, says
his action was taken on account OF The
Chinese situation. 1t is expected that
Information may reach this government
at any moment requiring immediate
action, and II is the wish OF the Presi-
dent to give his personal attention to
everything that may develop In China

ment Of the existing conditions. The
President, II is said. realizes that while
he Is going and coming from Chicago.
and while participating IN the ceiebra-
tion in that city. he could not possibly
receive information and give 1t the at
tention which the acute stage of affairs
in China demands.
Great Disappointment.
The probable inability OF the Presl-
dent to attend the Grand Army encamp-
ment at Chicago is great disappoint-
nient TO him. For many months past
he has been looking forward with
pleasurable anticipations TO this oppor-
tunity TO meet his old friends and army
associates, and IL Is only that his PUB
lie duties imperatiyely demand his
presence In Washington at this critical
time that he has decided TO cancel his
Chicago engagement. ,ss
Nevertheless, he has strong hopes
that the tension In Chinese affairs may.
relax within the next two or three days
sufficiently to warrant his leaving the
city for short time. in which event
he will notify the Chicago committee
OF his coming, even if he can arrive
only in time to participate in the clos
Ing exercises of the encampnent The
President fully. realizes that another
crisis is rapidly approaching in China,
and that momentous questions. which
may involve the lie or death OF the
empire, may at any time be presented
for solution. Under these conditions the
President deems 1t 10 be his duty TO re-
main at the seat Of government until
the crisis, for the. present at least, has
passed.
Message Created CONSERVATION.

dent Mckinley as the central figure.
