YOUNG AMERICA MAKES A HIT.
Iowa School Boy Interviews President
and is Dined by Cabinet.

Clinton, May 31.-Mark Mckee, Of
this city, pupil of the high school and
tho editor OF the High School Optimist,
is the only newspaper representative
that had the distinction OF interview
ing Precedent Mckinley on his home
ward trip from California.
Mckee is bright and manly young
fellow, typi' al young American, full
of energy and possessing the required
amount of nerve. He went to Cedar
Rapids and wired the President at
Tama that he would be at the train
on It's arrival at Cedar Rap
ids and as a representative of the
Cptimist would like an Interview. He
received no reply, but when the train
stopped at Cedar Rapids he went to
the platform and made himself known
to Private Secretary Cortelyou, who
received the boy and introduced him
to the President Mckee says McKin.
ley received him cordially, and talked
with him for about ten minutes. In
behalf of the high school, Mr.. Mckee
rendered the President the sympathy
OF the pupils, and said all hoped for
Mrs. McKinley's speedy recovery.
The President inquired about the
population OF Clinton, the schools and
churcnes and industries When told
that the city would be disappointed on
account of the train passing through
after dark, the President said he was
sorry to disappoint the people, and he
hoped to be able to address them at
some future time.
Secretary Cortelyou introduced Nc
Kee to the members of the cabinet, who
invited the boy to dine with them. He
was given the place of honor beside
Secretary Hay. When the train was
ready to leave Clinton the meal had
not been finished, and when the con.
ductor asked Mr.. Cortelyou if he was
ready to start, the latter told them to
hold the train until they had finished

IOWA DEMOCRATS HOPEFUL.
Think They Can Carry State If Repuh

uSdIo w tNok iNottittidkC SutIitfitItSs
Chicago, May 30.-George A. Huff
man, chairman of the democratic state
committee of Iowa, called at democrat
ic national headquarters here and an
nounced that if A. B. Cummins Is de-
feated for the republican gubernatorial
nomination next August the democrats
will have chance to carry the state.
Mr.. Cummins is posing as the anti
railroad champion, and the prejudice
against railroad corporations is said
by Chairman Huffman to be SO strong
in the Hawkeye state that his defeat
would be almost certain to induce a
reaction which would give the demo-
Gratis an excellent opportunity to carry
the state.
THE railroad question will be the
paramount issue in Iowa this fall
said Chairman Huffman. while rail-
road property has been assessed at 10
or IL per cent of its fair cash yalua-
ton, other property has been assess
ed at 25 per cent in accordance with
the statute. The people of Iowa are
tired of this notorious discrimination
in favor of the railroads and are clam.
oring for a change. The railroads are
fighting Cummins, and have secured
first blood by fixing the state conyen.

MAJOR MAHoN AT ALBA.
Made the Address of the Day at the
Memorial Exercises,

Among the many successful decora-
ton day celebrations was the one at
Abba which was addressed by Major
Samuel Mahon of this city. The day
was very propitious and large
crowd was in attendance. The meet
ing began at 1870 o'clock and includ-
ed among others, several patriotic
songs, and the reading of President
Lincoln's Gettysburg address. This
was followed by the address of the day
by Major Mahon. Concerning Major
Mahon the Abba Union says:
Major Samuel Mahon, of Ottumwa,
made mastery address. Major Ma
hon was member of the 7th Iowa In
fantry, went out with company from
Ottumwa, and his service in the army
covered period of more than four
years. His speech was extemporane-
Gus, a fact we regret, because we
should like to have printed it entire.
He said in part:
He addressed his hearers as COM
rades and friends, first the boys" who
were seated upon the front seats and
second all hearers who were his
friends, and the old soldier friends up
on this occasion.
The Major thought it placed him in
hard position to make an address af-
ter the reading or Lincoln's patriotic
words, but he needed to have said
nothing about it, when he himself
made such patriotic and noble remarks
as followed, but he turned it off nice
ly by placing himself on an equality
with his fellow comrades by adding
"and hope you will not refuse to lis
ten to few words from an old soldier
like yourselves" The Major remark
ed that he noticed narrowing circle
around the stands as each memorial
day came round, and said he felt like
addressing younger men on whom the
destinies must fall" Continuing he
said, This decoration day has double
significance-to decorate the graves,
and the advent of the Goth century.
Those born in 1910 and before have
seen one.half of the history of this re-
public" Addressing those who had
taken part in the recent conflict" he
quoted Caesars words and said the old
soldier could say, Cali this saw and
part of it was"
"Old soldiers are privileged to rem.
iniscent-are getting to live in the
past Today of all others we can
trace the line of memory back to camp
life, to the time when we held up our
right hand and swore to sustain the
| flag and the constitution"

MORE TROUBLE.
cubans Tave Not Complied With the
Plat Amendment

Washington, May 31.--The admins
tration has decided that the action OF
the Cuban constitutional convention
in accepting the terms Of the Platt
amendment with notifications and in.
terpretations of their own, is not "sub.
stantial" and not in compliance with
our terms within the meaning of the
amendment, and Secretary Boot will
convey this intelligence to the conven.
ton. This decision was reached at al
cabinet meeting today. The meeting
lasted over an hour and half and had
been preceded by an hours conferences
between the President and Senator's
Plat, Conn and Lodge of Massaohu-
sets. as the author Of the amendment,
The President desired to learn the
views of Platt, also those of Lodge,
who was one of the influential mem.
bers of the committee on foreign rela-
lions.
Not Fair Interpretation.
At the cabinet meeting Root took
the position that the interpretations Of
the Plat amendment contained in the
constitution adopted by the convention,
and the whereases appended to it,
went out side Of fair Interpretation
OF Its meaning, and was unacceptable.
In this view the cabinet conourred.
cubans Must Comply.
When asked as to what would be
the next step OF the government aften
the Cuban convention had been noti-
fed of the rejection of its action, one
of the members of the cabinet said the
government would do nothing further
until the convention again acted, and
that as long as the conditions OF the
Plat amendment were on the statute
books, compliance with them must
precede our REIMBURSEMENT and con.
troll over the island.
Discuss InsuIar Gases.
The cabinet also discussed the decfs
sions of the supreme court in the ins
sular cases, and especially their bear.
ing upon the forthcoming decision Of
the court in the Philippine cases. IL
was the general opinion that in some
phases the Delima decision might be-
applicable to the Philippines but thas
in other ways it might be held entire.
ly inapplicable. No definite concIu.
sion, however, were reached.
