CAUTION FROM DIR. R1xEY.
says That Too Much Encouragement,
Must Not BE Entertained Re-
gardiny Mrs. Mckinley.

Canton, o., Sept. ss.-At ten O'Clock
Saturday morning DIR. Rixey said:
MRS. McKinley's grief is intense. She
is doing as well as could be expected,
however. Too much encouragement
should not be taken at this early day
regarding her"
To all outward appearances the
Mckinley home is but one of the pref
ty comfortable homes of North Mar
ket street, Oanton's most desirable
residence section. No guard sur
rounds the beautiful lawn. and no
doorkeeper stands at the door to greet
and hold in check the steady stream
of callers that was wont to seek adj
mission during the life of the late
president. Within is grief-stricken,
heart-broken woman, well-nigh pros
trated by bereavement such as few
women have ever been called upon to
bear. She is showing remarkable
fortitude and her friends are encour-
aged to hope, but are still apprehen-
sive. There has been no material
change in her condition during the
past "a how're.
1t is thought that Mrs. Mckinley
may be able to go for short drive
during the middle OF the day. She will
be encouraged to do so If possible.
Weather conditions are favorable, and
it is felt the drive would do her good
The day was bright and much warmer.

.LOUBET CAUSES A STIR
Significant Utterance of President
Of France Regarding Franco
Russian Alliance.
ARE PLEDGED TO HUMANE SETTLEMENTS
Believed That Remark Referred to
Affairs In South Africa-Move to
Secure Arbitration for Boers-Brit-
ain Stirred Up Over Reverses Re-
ported by Lord Kitchener.

Betheny, France, Sept. 23.-In his
speech at the luncheon which fol-
lowed the review Saturday, President
Loubet created somewhat of sensa-
ton by saying:
1.-The Franoo-Russian alliance is
pledged to settlements inspired by
justice and humanity"
Whether rightly or otherwise, some
of his hearers took the remark to re-
fer to affairs in South Africa.
Before the luncheon the car,
czarina and President Loubet re-
viewed 100000 troops on the Plain of
Betheny. The march past lasted from
10:45 a. m. till 1: 10 p. M, terminating
in magnificent charge of 10000
cavalry The spectacle was very i'm
posing, as the infantry went by $50

Beers Are Seeking Arbitration.
The Hague, Sept. ss.-Baron Van
Lynden, the minister of foreign at
fairs, has forwarded to the legations
and members of the council of the
court of arbitration copy of the
Boer appeal for arbitration, with a
notification that he intends to bring
up the appeal for consideration at
the first meeting of the council. The
date of the meeting is not fixed.
Anxious Over Reverses.
London, Sept. 23.-While Mr.. KrugG
and DR.. Leyds are drawing up peti-
tions to President Roosevelt and the
GEAR, asking them to intervene, the
fighting Beers are helping themselves
in South Africa by celebrating the ex-
piration of the period in which Lord
Kitchener proclaimed they must sur
render by four notable successes, kill
ing SO officers and men, mounding So
and capturing five guns and 300 men.
The situation is singularly like the
opening of the war, two years ago, the
names of the same places recurring in
the dispatches. Utrecht, where Maj.
Cough was entrapped, was the scene
of similar ambuscade 10 months
back. Acton Homes, where the Beers
Friday reappeared, is 10 miles south
west of Ladysmith, and the Natal col
onials are mastering for the defense
of the Tugela, as when Gen. Joubert
invaded Natal in 1899.
In Cape Colony fighting is again go.
ing on south of stormberg, in terri
tory traversed by raiders and their
pursuers half dozen times.
The governments publication OF
these reverses causes an outburst of
evaporation against the conduct of
the war, not in South Africa, but by the
ministry. The great ministerial jour
nails accuse the government of trying
to run the war ION the cheap" by not
providing Lord Kitchener with suff.
cient resources.
The Times, while it has no misgiv.
ings as to the final issue, accuses the
home authorities of lack of organized
sustained effort, of disposition tc
postpone military for financial consid.
erations and of failure to grasp the
| moral and intellectual damage which
the prolongation of the struggle in.
ficts on the empire.

Democratic State Platform.

We, the democrats of Iowa, in con-
vention assem- led, rereby reaffirm the
principles of the democratic national
platform adopted at Kansas City, July
S, 1900, and without surrendering our
convictions or abating our loyalty to
our national policies, we believe this
campaign to be particularly one that
should be confined to state issues.
Resolved, That the fundamental
principle of democracy, equal rights
to all and special privileges to none,
applies in full force to the subject of
taxation. The democratic party be-
lieves that the burden of taxation
should be borne equally by all taxable
property. We pledge the members of
the general assembly to formulate
and urge the adoption of such law
as will compel the burdens of taxation
to rest on corporate and individual
property alike, without favor or ex-
emption of any interests.
1--WE demand economy in the admin
istration of state affairs, the repeal of
the mulct law, the enactment of To-
cal option law, the abolition of offices
of state printer and state binder, and
the contracting for supplies for the
state with the lowest responsible bid
der.
''We cordially invite all honest men
of the state to unite with us in secur-
ing the enactment of these principles
into law"
