An Extended Conference.
Senator Hanna, Representative Gros-

with the president. They were clos

Senetor Foraker called during the
progress Of the conference, but re-
manned only short time. The i'm
portancc of the consultation may he
judged by the fact that secretaries
Root and Gage, who had business
with President Mckinley, after wait
ing for some time, returned to their
respective department. The consul
tation between the Ohio republican
leaders and the president covered
quite a number of questions, national
rs well as state but was largely con-
fined, it is understood, to the political
situation in Ohio. At the conference
n number of Ohio army appointments
and several other appointments wers
discussed.
The Western Trip.
The presidents trip TO the Pacific

ROCKH|N HEARD FROM.
Another Communication Touching
the Complications at the
Chinese Capital.
IT TOUCHES ON THE INDEMNITY CLAIMS.
Nothing to Indicate that the Cues
ton Is any Nearer Settlement than
When Ii Was First Taken Up
Russia DipIomnticaIIy silent
About Manchuria.

Washington, March 21.-Another
communication was received from
Special Commissioner Rockhill touch
ing the complications that have re-
suited at Pekin from the efforts of
the various powers to reach a uni
form basis for their indemnity claims,
but there is nothing to indicate that
an agreement is any nearer than it
was when this subject was first taken
up by the ministers. Although the
state department is more than ever
convinced that its suggestion looking
to the reference of the entire subject
of indemnities to The Hague commits
sion is the true solution of the diff
Guilty, that proposition, having been
definitely rejected early in the nego-
tiations, is not now before the minis
ters.
No Precise Instructions.
No precise instruction have been
sent to Mr.. Rockhill within the last
few days on this point, owing princi-
pally to the absence of the president
from Washington. 1t is presumed
that, now that the president atten-
ton is again directed to the subject,
there will be more complete detini-
ton of policy.
The situation ut Tien Tsin still fails
to excite the officials here, who feel
that the critical point has passed.
Russia and Manchuria.
A curious fact in connection with
the Manchurian complication is that,
so far, there is no trace of an official
protest to Russia against the execu-
ton of her announced programme IN
Manchuria. 1t is not for lack of dispo-
sition to oppose this policy that the
protest has not appeared, but because
there is no authenticated copy to be
had OF the reputed Chino-Russian
agreement, and, further, no one Of
the powers has yet been found will
ing to take the initiative in challenG-
ing Russia. Our state department has
cxertcd what influence it could to
secure a statement of the facts as to
Manchuria, the result Of which has
been to secure repetition of the
Russian disclaimer Of improper ma
tves, but not definition of the pro-
gramme for the future, further than
it was defined in the Russian pro-
nouncement of August last.

LATEST WHITE LODGE STORY.
King Edward, 1t IN Now Said, VIII
Fit Ii Up for the Duke and
Duchess of Cornwall,

New York, May lat is said that
the king intends to fit up White
Lodge, at Richmond, as an outer Lon
don residence for the duke and
duchess Of Cornwall, says the London
correspondent of the Tribune. The
house is small, but it is admirably
suited for the purpose, and, more
over, the duchess spent her childhood
and girlhood there. At present the
place is vacant. 1t belongs to the
crown, and some of the furniture is
also royal property.
The king. attended only by one 81
the gentlemen of his court, paid a tur-
prise visit to the house Sunday. As
he drove to Kew Gardens he was
quickly recognized and loudly cheered.
The people were wonderfully enthusi-
astic, and the sovereign evidently was
pleased with the warmth of his re-
ception.

San Francisco, May 13.-The IA
tigues of the transcontinetal tour
have proved too much for Mrs. Nc
Kinley, and on Sunday she was
brought from Del Monte to this city
on special train, where she
will remain, at the home of Henry L.
Scott, until she recuperates. The
president accompanied his wife, and
on her condition will depend the re-
maindcr of the presidents itinerary.
Secretary Cortelyou, Monday morn
ing, gave cut the following bulletin
as TO Mrs. McKinley's condition:
Mrs. Mckinley rested well during
the night. and this morning was quite
as comfortable as her physicians ex-
pected her to be-"
President Mckinley will not decide
until later in the day whether he will
go to San Jose or not.
There is some probability of Presi-
dent McKinley's abandoning his pro-
posed trip into the northwest, in view
of the condition of Mrs. Mckinley.
Unless there is a radical change for
the better the presidential party will
leave for Washington soon after the
celebrations in this section are over.
Mr.. Mckinley is very much worried
over the condition of his wife, and it
is even possible that many functions
arranged in his honar for this week
may be postponed or dropped alto
gether. Secretary Cortelyou has Civ
EN- notice that Mrs. Mckinley. should
she continue the trip with the presi-
dent, will not under any circum-
stances engage in any of the social
functions arranged for the party at
any place. but that Mrs. Mckinley
will remain as quiet as possible dur

THE PRESIDENTS PARTY.
Secretary Hay VIII Represent the
President in His Absence.

jacksonville, Cal, May 13.-The
members of the cabinet left Del Mon
te on schedule time, in accordance
with the agreement reached, Sunday,
before the departure of the president
and Mrs. Mckinley for San Francisco,
to follow the original itinerary be-
tween Del Monte and San Francisco.
Secretary of State Hay will represent
the president until the latter rejoins
the party. -.
No advices had been received from
San Francisco regarding Mrs. Nc
kinley's condition before leaving Del
Monte, but the kilograms which came
to the members of the cabinet Sun
day night were reassuring, and it is
believed that after a few days of
complete rest Mrs. McKinley's health
will improve and that the itinerary
after leaving San Francisco will not
be abandoned. The members of the
cabinet are anxious, but not alarmed,
about Mrs. McKinley's illness. They
know her recuperative powers and be-
lieve that week of quiet may re-
store her to her normal condition.
Pajaro was the first stop. The
train remained there ten minutes and
n crowd was in waiting. Secretary
Hay briefly explained the cause of
the presidents absence, but made no
speech. Several little children car
ried roses into the train for the la
dies of the cabinet. The train left the
main line here for the trip to Santa
Cruz.
