deepening of religious life and a
strengthening of the purpose of the
citizenship of the country as never
before.
To attempt to give in detail the re-
ports received from all the cities Of
the country, north and south, of the
memorial services held would require
volumes. Everywhere churches and
large halls were filled to overlooking
with grief-stricken people who felt
the nations loss and gathered. to do
honor to the martyred president.
Here in this city and in the larger cities
of the country, New York, Philadel-
phia, Boston, Pittsburg, st. Louis, San
Francisco, etc., big parades marched
in solemn procession through streets
draped in deep mourning.
Business houses were with but few
exceptions closed all day andth build

PALMA FOR PRESIDENT.
ment to he Announced This Week
and Election seems Sure.

Havana, Sept. 23.--Next Saturday
or sooner Tomas Estrada Palma will
be proclaimed candidate for the
presidency of Cuba, with the indorse-
ment of all political parties and with
absolute assurance of election when
the vote is taken. This was decided
by the leaders of the several parties
at meeting called to read the plat
form, addressed to Gen. Rus Rivera
by Palma, in reply to a request from
these parties for an expression of
sentiment on the various propositions
propounded by the Cuban people. The
greatest questions involved are those
of reciprocity treaty with the Unit
ed States, permanent treaty as pre-
scribed by the Platt amendment; the
manner of the paying of the Cuban
army for services during the revoiu-
ton, the systems of collecting rev.
enue for governmental expenses and
the ownership of the Isle of Pines.
The leaders accepted Palma's plat
form by vote of 90 to 2. Great en-
thusiasm prevailed among Palma's
friends. 1t is believed that he will be
elected by an overwhelming majority.
The convention is awaiting the return
of Gen. Wood to settle the matter Of
the electoral law.

DUN'S TRIBUTE.
Comm ercial Agency Comments ON
Death of Mckinley I'm Weekly
Trade Review.

New York, Sept. 20.-Dun's Re-
view this week will say:
when a great leader falls In battle his
army grieves, but does not abandon the at
tack. Rather, It Is urged onward by a
desire to accomplish the task to which his
life was devoted. Victories of peace are
greater than those Of war, and no man has
been so conspcuously associated with the
Industrial development of the United
States as William Mckinley. Facetious
comments on the advance agent OF pros
perity,' were turned to wonder and admira-
ton by the steady gains in business con-
ditions. Instead of buying more than we
sold, foreign mrkets were secured to such
an extent that favorable trade balance
of $3.50, 900 900 was secured for the last fiscal
year. Instead Of London and Paris taking
all the large bond Issues offered, loans were
placed in New York because of the abund-
ance of funds available; even British con-
soils coming here recently.
while achievements little short OF mar
velous have already been accomplished.
the natural resources of the country are
by no means exhausted. 1t seems most
fitting at this time to look hopefully into
the future, and earnestly continue the
march onward and upward under a new
leader, that was planned and desired by
the one who was taken away ere the posi-
ton was fully attained with which HIS
name will be always associated In the
minds of q grateful and patriotic people,"

From all over the world come re-
ports of memorial services being held.
At Manila there were impressive

the late President Mckinley washed
in Westminster Abbey. 1t was at

lishmen of distinction. The service,
which was fully choral, was of extreme
beauty. The Office for the Dead was
used, with the Prayer of Committal
omitted.
The London morning papers again
appear with black borders and long
accounts of the ceremonies in Canton
and of memorial services and tributes
throughout the world. The editorials
generally comment upon the wide
spread sympathy evoked.
At all of the capitals of Europe
flags were at half-mast as token of
sympathy and respect. At Paris,
Berlin, Vienna and Constantinople,
memorial services were held.
Bombay observed Thursday as n
day of mourning for President Nc
Kinley, as in fact did the whole Of
India.
South American countries and the
isles of the West Indies showed their
sympathy and respect by half
masted flags and the holding of
memorial services.
At Santiago, Cuba, most impress
sive service was held attended by
civil and military officers, the foreign
consuls, judges, students, the entire
American colony and thousands of
Cubans of all classes.
In accordance with instructions
from Ottawa, the schools and courts
in Toronto and other Canadian cit
les were closed. Memorial services,
attended by crowds, were held by
the leading churches, where eloquent
tributes were paid to the many
great qualities of the martyred pres
ident, and his favorite hymns were
sung.

CLEVELAND PAYS TRIBUTE.
Bx-President Eulogises Mckinley
Before Princeton students.

Princeton, N. j., Sept. 20.-All for
NAL exercises at Princeton university
were suspended Thursday, and at II
o'clock memorial exercises were held
in Alexander hall. The faculty and
board of trustees attended the ex-
ercises in their gowns without their
hoods. The big hall was filed with
students and visitors as the faculty,
led by Former President Cleveland
and President Patton, slowly filed
up the aisle to the rostrum. Presi-
dent Patton opened the exercises
with prayer, read the Forty-sixth
Psalm, made few remarks eulogiz-
ing the late president, and introduced
Mr.. Cleveland, who was visibly af-
fected, and with tears in his eyes,
eulogized the dead president. Mr..
Cleveland said, in part:
"To-day the grave closes over the man
that had been chosen by the people Of the
United States to represent, their sover-
eighty to protect and defend their consti-
tuition to faithfully execute the laws
made for their welfare. and to safely up
hold the integrity of the republic.
"He passes from the public sight not
bearing the wreaths and garlands OF his
COuntrymen approving acclaim Out drHlu
the sobs and tears OF mourning nation.
The whole nation loved their president.
His kindly disposition and affectionate
traits, his amiable consideration for all
around him, will long be In the hearts of
his countrymen. He loved them In return
with such patriotism and unselhshness that
In this hour of their grief and humiliation
he would say to them: 1T Is Gods will,
1 am content. II there Is a lesson In my
life or death, Jet II be taught to those who
still live and have the destiny Of their
country In their keeping
There Is n most serious lesson for all
of US in the tragedy of our late presidents
death. II we are to escape further attacks
upon our peace and security. we must bold
ly and resolutely grapple with the monster
OF anarchy. 1t is not a thing that we can
safely leave to be dealt with by party or
partisanship. Nothing can guarantee us
against Its menace except the teaching
and the practice of the best citizenship,
the exposure OF the ends and aims Of the
gospel Of discomfort and hatred of social
order. and the brave enactment and exc
cution Of repressive laws.
by the memory OF our martyred pres
ident let us resolve to cultivate and pre-
serve the qualities that made him great
and useful and let us determine to meet
the call Of patriotic duty in every time of
our country's danger or need"

THE scHLEY INQUIRY.
A synopsis Of the Proceedings on SAT-
urday-Evidence shows blockade
OF Santiago Effective.

Washington, Sept. 23.-Although
every development at the court of in
curry was not entirely favorable to
Rear Admiral Schley, in the main, re-
suits of Saturdays session were salts
factory to him and his counsel. I'm
portant points brought out were:
That the blockading ships never were
a great distance from the harbor; that
a picket line of the smaller vessels al
ways was on guard at night; that the
| signals seen on shore were supposed
by all to be between Spanish forces;
that the ships were given orders to
coal where they were; that fuel was
absolutely necessary, and that the
slow time made by the squadron on its
way from Cienfuegos was result of
the rough weather.
| Other features of the testimony
were the claim that the large vessels
could have made better time toward
Santiago by leaving the smaller craft
behind, to rejoin the squadron later,
and that Schley's original plan for the
attack on the Colon was not carried
out, his vessels passing the harbor's
mouth at too great a speed to permit
of effective work.
One Of the chief points of interest
was the absolute and unqualified de-
nial that Commodore Schley with the
"fying squadron" was at any time
during the blockading operations 25
miles away from the mouth of Santi-
ago harbor. On the contrary, it was
developed that the extreme distance
during the day time was not greater
than seven miles, and during the night
not more than four miles.
Commander Schroeder, now govern
or of Guam, who was the chief executive
officer of the Massachusetts, during the
war, testified that, in his judgment, the
"fying squadron" did not make as
much speed as it was possible to attain
on the sail from Cienfuegos to Santi-
ago, and he further testified that Com
modore Schley had not used sufficient
effort to destroy the Colon, as that yes
sci lay within plain sight of the ships
of the flying squadron" for more than
two days.
1t was asserted by Commander
Schroeder that no result was secured
from the bombardment of the Colon,
but that il the vessels had approached
nearer>the shore line and steamed by
the entrance of the harbor at slower
rate, it might have been possible to
sink the Colon. Commander Schroeder
said there was no obstacle to going in
closer to shore, and at no time were
the vessels of the American fleet in
danger of the fire from the shore bat
teries or of the Colon.
With reference to the slow progress
made by the flying squadron from
Cienfuegos to Santiago, Commander
Schroeder said there was nothing in
the condition of the weather that pre-
vented the larger ships from making
better time. He said this could have
been done by leaving behind the Vixen.
the Eagle, and the collier Merrimac. all
of which retarded progress. This
would have necessitated abandoning
the two smaller vessels and the coll
lier. but Commander Schroeder con-
tended that they would have overtaken
the fleet the next day at Santiago.

The Mckinley Estate.

Washington, Sept. 23.--It is au-
thoritatively stated here that the late
president left an estate valued at about
5000, 900. This is inclusive of $67, 900 life
insurance. The statement made by a
New York financial paper that Mr.. Nc
Kinley had 100000 life insurance is
wide of the mark. The amount wac
just $4,000, and all of this has been
paid. During his Az years in the presi-
dency Mr.. Mckinley saved about $685.
600 year out of his salary. Mrs. Nc
Kinley will be voted the usual pension
of $1,000 year by congress. A bill for
for this purpose will be introduced the
first day of the coming session.

Chicago, Sept. 20.--While the re-

the country solemn hush fell on

nnnk Robbed.

Republican City, Neb., Sept. 23.--The
Republican City bank safe was blown
with dynamite about one o'clock
Saturday morning. The safe, large
one, was almost completely demol-
ished, parts of the money chest be-
ing blown through the outer wall of
the Sunbury restaurant, 10 feet dis
tant, where seven persons were sleep
ing. The robbers took all the money
and notes and left without clew.
The bank officials decline to say what
funds were on hand, but It is thought
some thing more than $1,000 in cash
was obtained.
