In the last few months was occasioned
at the start.
The Presidential party received a
fattering ovation from the time the
train left Washington. Large crowds
assembled at every station, the coun-
tryside and crossroads each had its
little group Of watchers straining their
eyes to catch q glimpse Of the Chief
Magistrate as the train whisked by.
At Charlottesville the students Of the
University Of Virginia turned out, at
Lynchburgr Senator Daniel, Virginia's
crack orator, made speech greeting
the President, and at Roanoke two
bands crashed out their welcome. At
each Of these places the President re-
sponded to the loud calls made upon
him, and spoke briefly from the rear
platform Of his car.
The members Of the party are as fol-
lows: The President and Mrs. McKin-
ley, Miss Barber, Secretary Hay, Mrs.
Hay, Postmaster-General Smith, Mrs.

PLEAD FOR FORMER SULTAN!
Turks Ask Aid in Effecting His Release
From a Living Grave.

Turks Ask Aid In EnectlnE his neieaso
From a Living Grave.
Paris. France.-The French League
of the Rights of Man has received a
letter from the Ottoman Liberal Com
mittee in Constantinople appealing to
the league to take up the propaganda
for the release Of former Sultan Mou-
rad, who was deposed on August 81,
1876, on grounds Of ill-health and NEIL
tai incapacity.
The committee proceeds, in part, as
follows:
"The deposed Sultan is undergoing q
martyrdom in prison in Tehiragan
more cruel than the sufferings Of the
victim of Devils Island. He was i'm
prisoned on the pretext of madness.
He has not seen human face, e1-
cept that of his jailer, for twenty-five
years, nor a letter, a newspaper or
book. He is not allowed to leave his
rooms. and thus is buried in a living
grave"
The committee urges that, if he is
really deranged, he should be treated
scientifically.

Atlantic Shipping Interests.
London.-The first step in the direc-
ton of the consolidation Of some Of the
biggest transatlantic shipping interests
has been accomplished by the pur'
chase by J. P. Morgan &, CO. Of the
Leyland Line Of steamers. A deposit
on the purchase money has been paid.
The officials of the Leyland Line con-
firmed the report Of the sale. 1t IS un'
derstood that the shareholders will re-
ceive Ella los. for each ten-pound share.
1t is learned that the purchase OF the
Leyland Line is tantamount to Its con.
solidation with the Atlantic Transport
Line. For the present the Leyland
Line will retain It's name and be under
the same management, though changes
in the directorate are likely to occur
shortly.
The result of the projected consolida'
ton would be q steamship company

Washington. D. Gone of the last
cases argued in the United States su'
preme Court raises the question Wnetn,
er the Constitution Of the United
States has ever been properly extend
ed to Alaska and also attacks the Grim
inal code Of that Territory, which was
enacted by Congress in 1899:
The case Is that Of a. w. CORPUS
against the Alaska Treadweli Golo
Mining Company, and the sections OF
the law which are attacked are those
requiring the payment of an annual
tax on the eompany's mercantile estab-
lishment and the stamps Of it's reduc-

tax is unconstitutional because 1t is
not uniform, and that this must inev1-
tably be the holding if the Constitu-

The new naval academy building at An
napolis, Nd, will be the finest structure in
the possession of the Federal Government
outside of Washington. 1t will cost 49,
100000 and house 500 cadets. Allowing
five per cent. as a fair interest on the in

year sunk in the building on account of
each naval cadet. This is, of course, ire
spective of the cost of tuition and support.
