Presidents Plans for the Day.
In an authorized statement made by r.
wing M. Scott the future movements of the
President, SO far as decided upon, were an
nounced as follows, subject to change or
revocation, should Mrs. Mckinley not i'm
prove:
For today the trip up Mount Tannalpais
and all other events arranged for the day
have been abandoned. At night the Pres-
dent will attend the banquet given by the
Ohio Society.
Friday the President will receive the
school children in Golden Gate Park, de-
voting as much of his time to this event as
Is possible. The knights Templar, League
of the Cross. camp fire, etc, will not be
visited by the President.
On Saturday the President hopes to be
present at the launching of the Ohio. In
the event of hiS being able to do so, spe-
cial wire from the Scott home to the scene
of the launching will be arranged. so that

Miss Barber, niece of Mrs. Mckinley, has
been selected to launch the battle ship, in

1t Is probable that President Mckinley
and his entire party will remain in San

Mckinley. The complication of troubles
which brought her low was peculiarly ex-

sible to state when she will be able to
travel.
There is no intention at present of disor-
ganizing the party, and unless new plans
are formed all the cabinet officers now
here will remain at their chiefs side, and

rected from San Francisco. Cabinet meet

IRON AND STEEL PRODUCTION.
H. b. Butler of Chicago Before the
industrial Comm issiOn.

Mr.. Hermon B. Butler of the firm of j.
T. Ryerson & Sons, iron merchants OF
Chicago testified before the industrial
commission today concerning the iron and
steel industries and the combinations in
themselves. He said there is now a greater
demand for these commodities from con-
sumers than ever before, but he did not
consider the situation abnormal. He did,
however. think that much of an increased
demand is apt to be speculative. especially
when good times are approaching. He
said he had no anxiety concerning trusts,
as he believed that If they put up prices so
as to insure abnormal profits competition
inevitably would arise and thus result in
benefiting the public. He said that iron
and steel products can be produced more
cheaply In the United States than abroad.
and that in his opinion the time had come
when the tariff on them could be dispensed

OF course, the result does not argue that
the challenger is out of the hunt. Prob

Perpetual Morton Machine.

An improved automatic or se1f-act-
ing gravity wheel is the modest title
of an invention by Herbert Rose of
Australia, which has recently been pat
ented all over the world, and which, if
the claims of its inventor are realized,
promises to supersede steam a mo-
tive power.
The invention relates to the con-
struction of gravity wheel, with con-
centric rings, secured to arms radiat-
ing from the center. These arms or
weights act balance and drivin G
levers and are SO nicely arranged

two-thirds heavier than those on the
upward grade in action-that a natural
falling of the weights the former
grade insures perpetual motion.
cessation of the driving force can
only be effected by preventing the
weights from falling, and this is done
by a very simple contrivance in the
form of a spring which acts all the
weights simultaneously. Taking a
wheel forty feet in diameter and three
feet wide, it is estimated that it will
carry 1850 weights and that the driv-
ing power will be equal to 1.443s4 tons
