MCKINLEY SPEAKS.

MCKINLEY SPEAKS.
San Francisco, May 1S.--lt has been
decided that President Mckinley will
visit the Union Iron Works to address
the working men and witness the
launching of the battleship Ohio.
When the president left the Scott
house at 9:4O he walked briskly down
the stairs to his carriage. The care
worn expression of his face which has
been noticeable the past few days had
disappeared. For fear Of disturbing
Mrs. Mckinley there were no noisy
demonstrations; merely respectful lift.

by.
Commissioner George Newhall and
a mounted guard of four policemen
accompanied the party.
The president drove rapidly through
the streets, was cheered enthusiastic.
ally and In response repeatedly lifted
his hat. At the transport dock, he
boarded the government tug Slocum
Besides the cabinet members and la
dies there were on board the little
vessel Governor Nash, of Ohio, and
staff and ladies'; Miss Barber, niece
of Mrs. Mckinley. Miss Deshler and
sister.
AS the Slocum left the transport
dock the screeching whistles. clang.
ing bells and booming cannon made a
volume of sound that could be heard
for miles.
A great fleet preceded the president
out into the bay, all loaded down to
the waters edge with masses of hu-
manity anXiously awaiting to do the
president honor. Bands played popu-
lar pieces and there was incessant
cheering, and cannon doomed from the
warships I'm the harbor.
President Mckinley arrived at the
Union Iron Works shortly after 10
o'clock and found 5000 employees as
sembled at the big yards. He was
greeted with cheer and presented
with a gold plate in memory of the
occasion. He spoke briefly to the
men, thanking them for the gift, and
complimenting them on their skill as
workmen.
After an inspection of the works
Mckinley went to stand where he
saw the launching. When that was
over, he boarded the Slocum and re-
turned to the Scott residence. During

President McKinIey's Tour.

Washington, April 1.-The work Of ar
ranging the itinerary of the presidents
trip to the Pacific coast is proceeding
slowly at the White House, and almost
everything on the program up to the pres
ent time is provisional and subject to
change. The trip is to be in no sense a
speechmaking tour, it being the pei
dents desire as far as possible to avoid
addressing the crowds which will congre-
gate at the various places at which he will
stop Some set speeches at several places
are already arranged for, but the president
will make no rear platform speeches to the
multitudes. Another feature of the trip
will be the substitution of drive through
city for public reception. The trip will
be so arranged that there will be no tray
cling on Sunday. Secretary Cort, lyou,
who is planning the itinerary, is not able
yet to give out even an approximation of
the route and stops.

Cavite, April 1.-At o'clock Sunday

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's report for last week Is
as follows:
A rather cheerful tone was apparent
in general trade and the close of the
first quarter Of the year finds the bust
mes world contemplating total trade
for that period in many cases in excess
Of all preceding periods, while the fu-
ture, with some exceptions, is viewed
with apparent confidence. The ad-
vance of the spring season is of course,
partly responsible for the feeling above
mentioned, allowing, as it does, better
opportunity for wider range Of opera
lions than was possible in the winter
months. First indications as to crop
prospects and the outlook are in the
main favorable. Bank clearings are
showing steady gains over unprecedent-
eddy large totals year ago. Railway
earnings testify to an immense volume
of merchandise passing into consump-
tion and as for some time past the
active demand at advancing prices for
iron and steel is regarded as reliable
index of good general trade to come.
Building is becoming more active
and promises this spring to be the hea-
West for many years past. Hence, the
lumber trades and all lines of builders
hardware note continued or growing
activity. The demand in the latter line
and in agricultural implements at the
west is, in fact, most notable.
AS pointed out week ago, there has
t,tr fv,f hn tidn IN, th a
wool trade, even while some quotations
are technically lower. A good volume
of business has been done at the lead
ing eastern markets and values as a
whole are quit firm. Boston sales this
week are estimated to amount to near
ly 100000 pounds, bought by two
large mills, and the stocks of Montana
wool have been well cleared up.
The boot and shoe trade is in good
condition.
There was little more doing in &C.
reals last week, corn being especially
active, and in the hands of bull clique
advanced to above so cents. Wheat has
been in better export demand and
strengthened slightly in sympathy
with the coarser grain.
Iron and steel have made steady pro-
gress alike in the volume of sales and
in the matter Of prices. The long ex-
pected advance in structural matter
came last week with a gain Of So and

ducts.

me IN strength, yig00 and appetite.
In the first place, it should be noted
that catarrh is one of the most prev.
alent and universal maladies known
to medical science. Nearly everybody
has catarrh in some degree or phase.
In the second place, it should be
noted that Peruna Is the only scien.
tlhc, internal catarrh remedy yet de-
vised.
This explains the almost universal
use OF Peruna. Everybody uses Pc
runa, high and low, rich and poor,
great and small. Peruna has fought
its way out from among the host OF
catarrh remedies, and stands unique
and alone today as the catarrh rem
earned merits it has attracted the at.
tention of the greatest, and the bust.
est, and the wisest people. It is
equally applicable to all ages, to both
sexes, and to every climate.
Nothing in the history of medicine
has ever equalled the growth of this
become a national disease. Peruna
has become national remedy. DR..
Hartman, the inventor of Peruna, has
the United States.
All this is explained by the fact that
Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.
Catarrh is liable to attack any organ
of the human body. Catarrh is not
local disease, but systemic dis
ease. Peruna is not a local remedy,
but a systemic remedy. Peruna
cures catarrh by eradicating it from
the system.
Such cures are not temporary but
permanent.
If you do not derive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use OF
Peruna, write at once to DR.. Hartman,
giving full statement of your case
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.

the Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,
Ohio.

ULT|MAIUM SENT TO China
RUSSIA VERY EMPHATIC.
RUSSIA
EMPHATIC.
Says China Must Sign the Manchur-
rian Convention or Take the Con-
Recommendations Relations
to BE Terminated If China Refuses

Washington, April 2.-Information mas
reached here to the effect that the Rus
sian government, being seriously perturbed
by the course of China in not signing the
Manchurian agreement, largely because OF
the protest made by the several powers,
has conveyed distinct and unmistakabIe
indication to China that if this course is
persisted in there may be an interruption
of diplomatic relations between Russia and
China and termination Of the present.
intercourse between them. This is little
short of an ultimatum that China must
sign or take the consequences of termina-
ton of her friendly relations with Rus
STA.
To what extent the United States will
take cognizance of Russia's disposition to
enforce the signing of the agreement has
not yet been made apparent. 1t appears
to be the policy of Chinese authorities to
consider this as a subject which concerns
the powers quite as much as IL does China.
The matter has become further compli-
Gated by reports reaching Washington that
the Chinese authorities are divided on the
course to be pursued, some of the most
influential, including Lii Hung Chang, urg-
ing that acquiescence be given to the Rus
sian proposals, while others insist on re-
jecting tine agreement. The attitude OF LII
Hung Chang is accounted for by his well
known friendliness for Russian interests.
In this case, however, there appears to be
arrayed against him the strong influence
of the southern viceroys, Chan chi-tung
and Liza Kun-Yi, who oppose the signing
of the treaty.
The reports reaching here show that the
agreement had not yet been signed, Its
status is most peculiar. The time within
which it was to be signed expired last
week, but on that day Yang-Yu, the Chi
nese minister, fell in the legation and hurt
his head so that he was unable to transact
business. This misfortune caused much
amusement here and some irritation in
certain quarters, as it had been recognized
as timely means of avoiding direct ac-
ton on the subject. 1t is not clear to
what extent the Russian intimation has
gone, but in any event it gives an urs-
ency to China's course which has not been
presented thus far.
