THE M'KINLEY ANCESTRY.

N Y. Commercial Advertiser
The following facts concerning the an
cestry of the Mckinley family were part
OF letter written to a gentleman in
Scotland and forwarded to friend IN
the United States in January, 1900:
Probably Mr.. Mckinley does not know
that his ancestors were closely connected
with the district about Annie, Callander,
Scotland. believe annie was the home
of the first family of that name. / have
genealogy of the president traced back
to Macduff, Thane of Fife, who slew
Macbeth. 1t is written and vouched for
by Edward A. Claypool, a Chicago
genealogist.s
A descendant of Macduff held high mill
tary rank under Malcolm w. and his
son was known as Mac-an-toisch (Gae-
lie: son of lie chief or foremost), and
was chief of the MacIntoshes. Ultimately
the line of descent became Farquharsons,
sons of Farquhar (MacIntosh). and pos
sessed estates in the Braemar district Of
Aiberdeenshire.
The twenty-first in the line of descent
from Macduff was F'inlay Farquharson,
called Finlay Nor from his great size and
strength. He was killed at the battle OF
Pinkie while bearing the royal standard,
Sept. 10, 1547. He had four sons, who
took the name McFinlay or MacIonulay

For seven generations the eldest SON
of the Annie branch was named John,
and six of them were buried at St
Brides. My grandfather was last of the
name who was tenant of Annie He
died in 1872 His widow, four sons and
two daughters emigrated to Canada,
where their descendants are still scat
tered about. His eldest son John was
lieutenant in the Ninety-second High
landers, and was wounded in the battle
of Quatre-Bras QS15), and his son John
died unmarried some years ago in New
Zealand. My mother was the eldest
daughter and married Robert McLaren,
who had been tenant in Stank, at the
foot of Ben Ledi, but took Annie" after
the MeKiniays left Five of my brothers
went to America-one is a farmer in
Michigan, U. S. A, and two others have

I have heard a story of my great
grandfather, John McKinlay, at the
time of the As. His laird, Stirling of
Kerr, who had Ieanings to the side of the
Stewards, wrote to him to ask if he could
raise few men for the pretender Nc
Kinlay, having read the letter, locked it
up and went out to visit his neighbors
quite in an ordinary way, and in the
course of conversation inquired what
they thought of Prince Charles claim
He found that they were entirely oppos-
ed to the movement, and. had no idea of
joining or supporting it in any way. He
retired home. therefore. and having first
burned the laird'S letter, he set out on
his pony for Keir house, near Dunblane
where he had an interview with the
laird and told him he could not hope
for any men from the Annie district,
and, at the same time, advised him not
to entangle himself with the rebellion
Having accomplished the object of his
journey, he returned home and said no
more about the matter. After the re-
belffon, the laird of Keir was tried for
his share in it, and narrowly escaped
losing his head. If McKinlay had not
been SO prudent and cautious about the
lairds letter, it would have supplied the
positive evidence needed to condemn
him.

gent and shrewd race of men. was told

GERMAN SHIP SUBSIDIES

1t is now little more than two months
heIore the opening of the next session
or congress. Before the Fifty-seventh
congress lies no insignificant task Cues
tons OF insular polity must be settled
and national legislation adjusted thereto
The commercial relations with the ma
lions of the world must be readiustad
along the lines of the country's ambt-
lions and its industrial needs. The new
problems affecting capital and production.
OF labor and consumption, must be soly-
ed or, at least, an attempt must be made
toward a solution. Matters cognate to
our commercial expansion must be taken
up. Ocean transportation and the de-
Neiopment of new foreign markets; tele-
graphic communication with the Orient.
lsthmian and internal canals; irrigation
and national forestry, are all matters
with which the first session of the Fifty
seventh congress is expected to deal.
The duty Of the government regarding
some of these questions is so plain that
"a wayfaring man, though fool. can
not err therein" Some have been dis
cussed by the nation and welI-digested
plans for their accomplishment decided
upon. But the way to the accomplish
ment of the more important propositions
is as yet unblazed by precedent. The
Fifty-seventh congress in its general
work must carry compass, ak ard chain.
A doubtful question left over bv tho
Fifty-sixth congress and which is liable
to become aggressive and insistent Is
that of ship subsidies. While the people
are almost unanimous in their opposition
to the plans formulated in tie various
editions of the Hanna-Payn Frye bill.
that measure has the support of a dis
tinguished minority of the dominant par
ty in congress and the backing of unlim-
tied capital. Just what effect the new
Morgan interests will have upon, the

RIcHARD CROKER.

The return of Richard Croker to New
York directs public attention again i'm
mediately to the recognized leader of
Tammany Hail. No man in the entire
country is more successful in having gen.
eraI attention directed toward him than
Croker
There is hardly a newspaper in the
United States which at one time or other
does not break out in denunciation of
this man. He is much more an object
eff public Reproduction than was Tweed at,
any time until the exposure of his crimes
came about. Yet it must be accounted
very remarkable circumstance that
Croker possesses the respect and devo-
ton of the members of the political or
ganization of which he is the head
and of many most estimable people in
nowise connected with politics who know
him personally.
Judged by the newspaper representa-
lions OF him Mr.. Croker is private and
public malefactor. This estimate is by no
means confined to the Republican news
papers. 1t is almost universal Of course
to any discerning man, no matter how
badly prejudiced against Croker or Tam
many, all this is absurd Standing in the
hight of the greatest publicity, the butt Of
the assault of every political Iampooner,
treated as social and moral outcast by
reputable and disreputable alike in pub
lie life outside of the ranks of Tammany.
1t is none the less true that no one has
ever been able to put his finger on even
a single transaction, public or private on
the part of Croker, which justifies such
unstinted abuse, or, indeed, which offers
the slightest palliation of such ill-treat-
ment
Twenty years ago this man was the
victim of an unjust and unfounded charge
OF murder He had been repeatedly tried
for that crime. One of the anti-Tammany
politicians who is now a leader in the So
called reform movement in progress in
New York was the chief agent in hay-
lns croker arrested and tried for the
crime which he did not commit and which
his accuser knew then and has always
known he did not commit. AS the con-
sequence of that charge Croker was ex-
lied from social and political life alike.
While an important factor in the man
agement of Tammany no leader of the
organization would dare to take the re-
sponsibility of making him the incum-
bent of any public Office of note. 1t
was left for Abram S. Hewitt, while
mayor of New York, to undo the in
justice from which Croker had 50 long
unjustly suffered. He appointed him to
the office of police commissioner, and i'm
mediately after. on the death of John
Kelly, Croker attained his present prom
inence as leader OF Tammany : Han.

REVERSED By CHAFFEE.
Filipino Captains Sentence to
Death Overturned by the General.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-An official
mail Just received at the war department
from the Philippines contains the records
OF number of atrocious crimes COM
mltted by natives, who were tried before
military commission.
An interesting case is that of Eroberto
Gumbano, an insurgent captain, tried for
the murder of President Gobuyan of the
puebla of Pavia. He was convicted by
the military court and sentenced to be
hanged, but Gen. Chaffee released the
prisoner on the ground that his action
in the premises was in accordance with
civilized warfare. Gumbano proceeded
to the puebla of Pavia with thirty SOL
ders for the purpose of attacking the
American garrison. The presidente de-
manded Gumbano's intention He
was answered that the garrison
was to be attacked He protest
ed and attempted to retire Capt
Gumbano informed him he was q pris-
oner and grasped him by the shoulder
The presidente seized the captain by the
throat, whereupon the latter killed him
Gen. Chaffee, in reviewing the case,
said that the accused was acting under
regular commission and was a part
and parcel of the hostile army.
The apprehension of deceased as a
prisoner" says Gen. Chaffee Ito pre-
vent the defeat of a military movement
against garrison of the enemy was a
legitimate act of war. The deceased re-
sisted arrest at his own risk and al
though the resistance was brave and
admirable act and the death which re-
suited is to be deplored, felonious kill
ing cannot be distorted from the facts"

ireland, where the spelling of his name
was changed to Mckinley. as the Irish
pronounce it.
His descendants went to America, and
the presidents descent has been traced
in Mr.. Porter's book on that line. OF
course, I cannot say whether the con-
nection with Macduff is correct, but my

many generations, that the McKinlays

FIRST Time ON RECORD
TELEGRAPH SERVICE WAS UNI
VERBALLY SUSPENDED
For Five Minutes Yesterday After
noon Million and a Quarter
Miles of Wire Were
Dead.

CHICAGO, Sept. 19.-One feature alb
solutely unique in history characterized
the military obsequies 1t was the
sllencing of the telegraph. Never before
since electricity was first put to use as
a means of communicat ton from city to
city and from country to country has
there taken place, it is said, anything
paralleling even in a small way what
was done this afternoon on a scale that
was gigantic. Upon orders from the Of
ficials of the telegraph companies, or
upon the common impulse of the opera
tors where instructions were not re-
ceived, the entire telegraph system OF
the United States was suddenly hushed
for five minutes at 2:30 p. M. the hour
set for placing the presidents body m
the vault at Canton. At that mo-
ment on all the huge network of wires
from the Atlantic to the Pacific not a
"sounder" in the land gave a single tick,
and the great ocean cables were pulse
less as the corpse of the late chief mag
1strate himself. More than once prior
to today thousands of miles of railway
and vast armies Of men, industrial or
military, have paused as a tribute to the
dead, but the cessation of the telegraph
for such cause, or indeed for any rea-
son, is without precedent in the worlds
record 1t is estimated that fully lO0,-
ously paid homage to the memory of
President Mckinley The total number
of miles of wire affected was upwards OF
100000. In the Western Union Chicago
office hundreds of operators all arose at
their desks when the moment came and
joining their voices sang with deep feel
ing the presidents hymn, Nearer, My
God, to Thee" The wires of the Associa1-
ed Press the Postal Telegraph company,
the North American Telegraph com
pany, the Chicago & Milwaukee company
and all similar organizations were in
cluded in the general stoppage Prob
ably the most remarkable method of
producing complete silence on the wires
free from all possibility of interruption
was employed by the Postal Telegraph
company. AT a given signal the dy-
namos were disconnected at once, literal
ly draining the circuits of electricity so
that everywhere the wires were technic-
ally and literally dead
