selling the stock of the whisky trust

to disperse without further attempts at
violence.
Father John Burns, pastor of the I'm

crowd and asked them to preserve the

Fourteen Thousand Ton Fighting
Machine Successfully Launched
at Noon Yesterday.
President Mckinley the Central Fig.
Tire at the Christening of the
New Warship.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16.-Fortunate.
ly Mrs. McKinley's condition today per-
mitted President Mckinley to attend the
launching of the battleship Ohio from
the yards Of the Union Iron works. TO
witness the launching of this ship named
in honor of his native state, was the real
objective of the presidents long trip
across the continent, and was the event
which has attracted to the Pacific coaS;
the governors of three states, the Ohio
congressional delegation, several CnitCd
States senator's and many other notable
and distinguished people. Dramatic as
was the sight of 140o0 tons Of steel slip
ping into the full-breasted tide of San
Francisco bay, it was not so splendid and
magnificent as the great naval pageant
which accompanied it, nor as profoundly
impressive as the greeting extended to
the president by the 4,500 employees of the
shipyard. With the threat of a great
strike impending, the presidents words
to the workingmen today have an added
significance, and his reference to the
expansion and other national questions
make his speech, probably the last he
will deliver on his present tour, in ev-
cry respect a notable one.
When the president left the sick room
of his wife this morning, every arrange
ment had been made to notify him on
the instant Of any change for the worse
In her condition. The physicians assured
him that there was no indication of a
setback but at his request telegraphic
connections were made at the wharf
and at the shipyard, and save for the
time he was on the water he was not
a minute away from direct connection

at her peak fouled and in a twinkling
Beyond the warships the little tug
threaded ner way through the holiday
fleet Of steamers, yachts, tugs, barges
and every variety of water craft jammed
about the front of the ship yard. Each
was black with cheering people and there
was hardly one of them which did not
have a saluting gun of some sort to add
its voice to the roar of welcome that
greeted the president from the dense
crowd of :Workmen gathered upon the
pier. Ashore, to the right, was a stand
covered with acres Of people and beyond
that a hill alive with them Up the pier
a broad isle Of white muslin ran through
the workmen packed on either side. Up
this path, arched over with flags and
flowers, one of them bearing the inscrip-
ton, 1.-The Oregon has made her record !;
watch the Ohio" the president and his
party moved to a stand where the rep
resentatives of the 4,50O employees of the
Union works, in a neat speech in which
he asked a heartfelt blessing upon the
head Of the president and expressed
tender sympathy for his suffering wife,
presented the president, as a token of
the esteem of the workmen, with a gold
plate engraved with a suitable inscrip-
ton.
The presidents response aroused much
