President Mckinley. The tragic details of
the assassination and personal remem-
brances of the dead President will form the
theme OF his speech. Colonel DENLY and
President Mckinley were more than po-
litical friends, and few living Americans
are so well fitted TO discuss the martyr
President. He said last night:
MY acquaintance with him began in 1898,
at the time of my removal from the Chi
neSe post. Numerous talks on Oriental
problems led 10 something like intimacy;
and after the Spanish-American war Mr..

Engles a man who had tried to go TO work
at the Conkey printing plant. at Hammond.
when strikers assaulted him and. as he
claimed. barely escaped with his life, but

protect men in their property right, and
added that il would be a monstrOus thing
IL the courts could not give this right. He
said that I'm all English-speaking countries
right TO protect property from lawless in
vasion. Judge Baker allowed the reading
of the afhdavits To continue. and they
showed that Besette had taken an active
part in the strike and in trying 10 prevent
men from taking places in the Conkey
plant
When the defense began it's case in the
afternoon a number of dispositions were
read. and the first witness 10 testify was
Michael Colbert, president of Topographic
cal Union. No. Is. of Chicago, who was
placed on the stand TO discredit the testi-
mony OF several strikers who gave evidence
against Besette.

President Haldeman, Of the City Council.
said last night that the selection of men,
bers of the various cOuncilmanic commit

NEW MAILING FACILITIES.
Plans Prepared for an Addition t.
the PostOfice Il

c. F. Sayles, who has the control Of the
present postoffice site, which was pur-
chased from the government, is preparing
TO erect an addition TO the building to pro-
vide better mailing facilities. The addition
is to fill in the space between the old fed
eral building and the building used for
mailing purposes and the United States
marshals office on Pennsylvania street.
The space is about twenty-five feet wide
and seventy-ive feet long. The proposition
was made by the government. Daggett 81
Co. are now preparing plans for the new
building.
The present mailing room on the south
will be closed and built out TO face the
sidewalk on a line with the rest of the
building. TIL front part OF this room will
be occupied by the su"perintendent's office.
The mailing department will be in the new
building. which will also connect the post
office with the present mailing room. Pro-
vision will also be made so that persons
may pass from the stamp windows to the
mailing room without going outside. The
capacity OF the mailing department will be
greatly increased.

TALK OF FIRE PROTECTION.
The Board of Works COnfers with
Governor Durbin.

A fair share of the business transacted by
Governor Durbin yesterday was devoted to
a consideration of how best to increase tie
fire protection of the Central Hospital for
the Insane in this city, and also of the
Southern Hospital at Evansville. AT each
institution dependence has been placed on
local resources. but the Governor is OF opin-
ion that close connection with the city fire
departments of indianapolis and Evansville
is necessary. The members OF the local
Board of Works paid him a visit yesterday
and the question was considered in an in
formal way. A city official at Evansville
called also and suggested TO the Governor
that the Southern Hospital would be great
~ benefited should connection with that
city's fire department be given IL.
