NO MATERIAL CHANGE
Doctors Report Condition of Mrs
Mckinley About the
Same.

Washington, June 6.-Dr. Rixey
left the white house at 10 o'clock to-
night, after an hour and half spent
in attendance on Mrs. Mckinley. He
said:
''There is no material change in
Mrs. McKinley's condition. She re-
mains the same as mentioned in our
bulletin of this morning"
In answer to specinc inquiries he
replied that he could not say there
had been any perceptible improve
ment whatever during the day.
The president tonight continues
hopeful of the outcome. More than
this cannot be said. There has been
no setback during the day, but like
wise no gain. One favorable circum-
stance is that Mrs. Mckinley contin-
ues to get more strength than she
was able to get in the earlier stages
of her illness, ana tonight rested fair
ly comfortable.
The president today, through Secre-
tary Cortelyou, formally notified the
Buffalo exposition management that
he would not be able to attend the ex-
position on the 18th inst, as had been
planned. but added that he hoped to
be able TO do so at some later date.

INDEPENDENCE MISAAP
While Not So Serious as Befell
Other Yachts Put Stop
to Trial.

Boston, June .-Lawson's yacht, In
dependence, in her second sail today
met with her first accident, not very
serious, the jamming Of the steering
gear, but sufficient to stop the trial
after an hour and half of splen-
did sailing, during which she attained
speed on reach of little over
three miles, Of 1871 nautical miles an
hour.
The accident led very unexpectedly
to most thorough test of the yacht S
rigging and her big steel mast, and
the result showed that it would take
a pretty severe blow to dismast the
Boston yacht. The big boom swung
by a 15-knot breeze, swept over the
stern of the yacht at tremendous
speed, Captain Half being unable to
prevent it. 1t was so sudden that none
of the crew was aft with preventer
tackle, and the big mast had to stand
the entire weight of the sail and boom
as it fetched up. There was not a
man on the boat who did not think
the big mast would go, but it stood the
strain magnificently. Previous to the
accident and subsequent gybing, the
yacht was given most thorough test
under full sail in a strong breeze and
showed herself to be wonderful boat.

TO THWART GRAVE ROBBERS.
Body Of Lincoln to be Placed eeyond
Possibility Of Molestation.


Chicago, June 6-The Inter-Ocean
will tomorrow print story saying
that the recent reinterment of the re-
mains of Abraham Lincoln at Spring
field, ILL.,, has been done in such
manner as to leave them in measure
at the mercy of body snatchers, and
that steps are to be taken at once. at
the instance Of robert T. Lincoln. to
have the body placed, as in the for
mer monument, under huge block Of
cement, where it will be out Of the
reach OF any attempt at molestation.
Mr.. Lincoln some time ago gained
the idea that the remains of his father
were not properly secured against
possible desecration by body snatchers
and determined to make an inyesti-
cation on his own account. He went
to Springfield in the disguise Of
Workingman, and spent much time in
and around the new monument. He
came to the conclusion that the pres
ent location of the body left it in
measure at the mercy of anybody who
should desire to carry it away, par
tlcularly as there is no watchman
around the monument at night
He will also take steps at once to
have the matter remedied and have
the body placed so that it will here
after be secure from any interference
whatever.

ceny, the theft of diamond and ruby
ring, the property of a student at
Smith college, valued at $500 and sums
of money aggregating $1,000 addition
al, from various students Of that in

She pleaded guilty and was held in
$1,000 bonds to the granu jury. In de-
fault she was taken to Jail. Her par

Miss Tiff, who had lost two diamond
rings. The detective is young man,
and after being here a few days he
made the acquaintance of several
young people, including Miss Burt.

CHANGED THE TEXT
Cuban Delegates Did Not Quote
Secretary Of War Root
Correctly.

Washington, June Elm view of
the several representations made in
Havana regarding the Interpretation
by the secretary of war to the Cuban
commissioners of the Platt amend
ment, it can be stated authoritatively
that the secretary did not deviate
from the declaration that the presi.
dent and himself had no power to
change an act of congress. It is said
here that the amendments which the
Cuban convention made to the Platt
law and the interpretations of CONVEX
sations with Secretary Root did not
represent his views of the amend
ment. Nor was he correctly quoted
in these alleged statements.
General Wood telegraphed to the
department today inquiring as to the
whereabouts of the letter of Secre-
tary Root explaining in detail the OBJ
jections to the action Of the constitu-
tional convention. It is expected that
the letter will reach Havana within
q very short time. 1t has been delayed
in the mail.

SPICY TRIAL PROMISED.
More Than Murder Charged Against
Mrs. Kennedy.

Kansas City, June 6.-Lulu Prince
Kennedy listened today to half a doz.
en- witnesses recite the details OF her
killing of her husband, Philip H. Ken
nedy, hardly moving muscle, or
showing particle or emotion. Later,
without apparent cause, she bent her
head and cried, but only for few
moments.
In stating their side OF the case,
Attorney Nearing for the defense,
said that they would show that Kenne.
dy had ruined Lulu Prince; that he
refused to live with her and then, in.
sane from worry and remorse, she
committed the act of murder. He de.
MED that she had had improper rela-
tions with Patten, the baseball play
er.
Prosecutor Hadley, answering in re
buttal, declared that the state would
show that Kennedy was not respon-
slble for the woman's ruin; that Mrs
Kennedy had sustained improper re-
lations with other men long before
she met Kennedy, and almost up to
the time OF their forced marriage.
Several witnesses examined corrob-
Grated the scene at Kennedy's Office
at the time of the killing, each testi-
flying to the fact that Mrs. Kennedy
appeared perfectly cool as she fired
at her husand. She told one man
who was holding her brother: 'Let
him go; l did the shooting and then
when the policeman arrived and was
holding her hand, she exclaimed, ac-
cording to one Witness: ''Let SO my
hanas; I want to fix my hair" which
she did in a matter OF fact way.
Another witness said that the defen-
dant's TWO brothers and her father
were in different parts of the building
at the time. r. j. Costello, county
employe, told of meeting G. w. Prince,
her father, at tne' entrance of the
building a moment after the shooting
took place, and of remarking to the
latter: four daughter upstairs is
shooting her usband. You could
have prevented this if you had wanted

QUESTIONS CONSIDERED BY IN.
DUSTRIAL COMMISSION.
BENEFICIAL TO LABOR
American Civilization and High
Wages Necessitates Equal
izing Agency.

! Washington, June The Industrial
commission at it's session today con
sidered the tariff question, with Incl.
dental reference to trusts, witnesses
/ being Congressman Robert w. Tay.
! lor OF Ohio and DR.. Geo. G. Gunton
! president of the New York Institute
of Social Economics.
! Taylor asserted the general princi
+, pie that the history of the country, for
the past few years, and present con.
! dition, demand that there should not
be the slightest relaxation of the tar
+! if principles as now embodied in the
Dingley law. Returns of the tariff to
trusts, he said, is only incidental. The
Dingley law embodies, he said, the
idea that American civilization is on
a higher plane than that of any other
country and requires higher reward
for it's labor to maintain that excel
lence. Whenever the labor cost is
,, greater here than elsewhere it is nee
essary mat there should be an equal
lzlng effect such as the Dingley law.
Primarily, therefore, a protective tar
/ iff law was in the interest Of labor.
Even the farmer, he said, gets a re.
ciprocity benefit.
How is the farmer benefited by a
| tariff on steel?" asked Colonel Liv.
{, ingston.
I'm the first place." replied the wit
ness. there is not much tariff on
iron and steel, except, possibly, on tin
plate. We pay out in wages not less
| than $2O,000,0OO. That means that the
| consuming power or the American
people at home is increased to that
extent and l think that the effect of
| that increased consumption is suffi-
cient to recoup the farmer for any
supposed. increase OF the cost to him
of iron and steel articles which he
may purchase
! Taylor announced himself as op-
| posed to the principle involved in the
trusts, because, he said, he considered
human nature too weak to entrust in
few people such power as is in
volved in trusts. He thought abuses
were certain and that the result would
be what he called governmental So
cialism or governmental ownership
of the articles controlled by trusts.
Taylor said that distrustful as he was
of the trusts, he had no remedy to
suggest. He did not accept the theory
that the trusts alone could be trusted
to reduce the cost of commodities.
lnstancing the United States Steel
company, he said that it's securities
amount to $1,5OO,OOO,OOO, while their
cost had not been one-third that
amount. He had no doubt that the
holders of those securities would de,
mand returns upon them. He said
he would oppose the Babcock bill,
placing iron products on the free list
because the result would be to de-
stroy independent effort, while it
would not especially injure trusts, as
with them the only effect would be to
reduce labor. On general principles
he thought discussion of the tariff at
this time would be unwise and unde
sirable. He did not consider trusts
an outgrowth of protection, but con-
ceded that incidentally trusts might
be benefited by protection, "just as
sunshine may cause weeds to grow"

Shown to be Much Smaller Than
Popularity Supposed

Ottawa, Ont, June 6.-Ofhcial or
gans of the government are preparing
the country for disappointment in
store when the official census returns
are made known. Instead of the con-
fident predictions of six millions and
over, returns so far completed indi-
cate less than 5,50O,0O0. The fact
is due to steadily diminishing per-
