M'KINLEY AT SAN JOSE.
He Made Speech and Hurried Back
 to San Francisco.

San Jose, Cal, May 13.-Thousands of persons between Delmonte and San Jose who have been anticipating a sight of the President for months, were disappointed today. The Presidents s presence in San Jose for an hour this afternoon took the edge off the dis appointment here, where the rose car nival was being held in his honor, and where the floral display surpassed any, thing seen in this part of the country. After leaving Delmonte this morning, the Cabinet carried out the itinerary as originally planned, stopping at Pa ioro and Santa Cruz and visiting the big trees in the San Lorenzo Valley, but they had no heart to put into the festivities in the absence of their chief and the keen regret of the peo- ple was written on their countenance.
 Many expressions of kindly sympathy for Mrs. Mckinley were heard at each stopping place. At Santa Cruz, Secre- tary of State Hay was the representa- five of the President in answer to the address of welcome made by the Mayor.
 The Presidents presence here barely saved the day. He ran down from San Francisco in his special car, ar irving just as the Cabinet train pulled into the cit from the South. But he
 
 At S:SO o'clock when they were con- cluded, he left for San Francisco. The President responded as follows to the Mayors address of welcome:
 MT. Mayor, my fellow citizens: oSeerve that face not only this null titude of Americans, but a thousand old Ohioans, who, with many of my fellow citizens, give us welcome. We are all proud of our States, and well We may be whether We come from the North or from the South. We are proud of our birthplace and of our State citizenship, but above all, We rejoice in the great nation, the glory of it's achievements, in the flag which repre- sents liberty and law and the constitu- tion of the nation that shelters us all.
 we have seen everything in Califor- mia; we have eaten of your fruits and your fishes; we have enjoyed the per fumes of your flowers; we have visited the ancient mission churches where the altar of religion was first raised and whose chimes have sounded through the centuries their message of hope and benediction; we have heard the dash ing waves of your ocean; we have felt the sunshine-and we have been tanned somewhat by it's rays-but we have all the time felt the warm touch of yopr hearts. We saw at Redlands the other day that they sprinkled their streets with oil and we discovered the other day that they bored for it at Los Angeles and got it.
 We have met your people-your brave men and women-we have met the pioneers who builded and founded this State; we have met all conditions of people and wherever We have gone we have seen smiling, happy and con tented faces and have heard the cheers of school children from one end of this State to the other. Here am greeted in this, the first capital under your constitution. a constitution that dedi- cated the territory of California to liberty and union forever-whose people asked and were admitted into the Union of States and received the pro- lection of the federal constitution and from that hour until now the people of California have been loyal to the gov ernment and to it's every interest.
 "In peace or in war you have been faithful. We live, my fellow citizens, under a constitution that was made for four millions of people, and yet it has proved adequate for 750O0.000 of people. It has embraced within it every national duty and purpose, and has never stood in the way of our
