PRESIDENT AND
 MRS. M'KINLEY
Arrive at Canton, Where They Were Greeted by Thous-
 ands of Citizens

Canton, O., July 6.-The train bearing the Presidential party arrived here at 1915 this morning. Mrs. Mckinley stood the journey very well.
 Owing to Mrs. McKinley's illness there was no formal demonstration at the sta tion upon the arrival of the train, 1t being feared that the noise and confus- ion incident upon such reception would have an unfavorable effect upon the pa tient.
 There was, however, very large crowd present, completely filling the sta- tion platform. When the President and Mrs. Mckinley stepped from the train a hearty cheer of welcome went up. In accordance with the wishes of the Presi- dent to make the home coming as quiet as possible none of the reception com mittees that have heretofore welcomed. the President were present as organiza- tions but Were there as individuals.
 The Presidents carriage arrived from Washington several days ago and in it the chief executive and Mrs. Mckinley were driven to their old home For sev- eral days past servants have been busily engaged in preparing the house for the comfort of the President and Mrs. Me Kinley.
 It was said by members of the Presi- dents party that Mrs. Mckinley had stood the trip exceedingly well and that her condition continued favorable.

Japan, the secretary of the Christian Endeavor Society in that country, brought greetings from that far off land in a scroll of Japanese which he read to the great delight of the audience in his native tongue. He then unfurled a magnificent black Japanese banner which he presented to the conve--'an as a token from his fellow countrymen. The Rev. George H. Hubbard of China followed with greetings from the celes- tan Endeavorers, as also did 4he Revs. Alfred Chandler of Canada, William D. Marsh of Australia and w. J. Darby If Evansville, Ind.

grown this original idea of jury. Many states allow less than the whole number of the jury to render a yer lct.
 MT. Beddow of Jefferson favored the minority report. He said great progress had been made along this line in other states. This was Alabamas first oppor- tunity to make an improvement. Great men and good men advocated a majority vote of jury to reach a verdict. Un- der our law one juryman can dictate verdict or make a mistrial. A jury Is the sole exception in America to the rule that the majority rules. An appeal case Is finally decided by a majority vote of the Supreme Court judges. In this en- frightened age should we allow one cor rupt juror to hang jury? Seventy years ago a commission in England 1n- vestigated this matter and reported that the principle of the unanimity of yer dict was unsound and unwise. In Jeffer- son county 5 per cent of the cases re- suited In a mistrial and cost the county thousands of dollars three-fourths rule in Alabama will save the State money and save corrupting influences In the jury.
 MT Boone of Mobile said that a chan cellor in an equity case had the power to pass on facts and majority of the su- preme court affirmed or disaffirmeI his decision Why if one man, a chancellor, has this power, should we refuse to al- low three-fourths of the jury to render a verdict
 Mir Grayson of Madison offered an amendment to allow five-sixths of a jury to render verdict
 MT Grayson's amendment was tabled
 It was then moved to table the mil nority report but this motion was lost by a tie vote of 43 to 43.

DEATH OF PRINCE
 YON HOHENLOHE
Was Former German Imperial ChanceIIor-Had Been in
 Bad Health Some Time

Berlin, July 6.-Prince Von Hoheniohe. former German imperial chancellor died at Ragatz, Switzerland. last evening.
 Prince Won Hohenlohes death was gen. orally unexpected here, as he left Berlin several weeks ago, apparently in good health, although his increasing weakness was evident The Prince arrived at Ragatz extremely exhausted. His death is attributed to the weakness of old age.
 The arrangements for transportation of the body to Germany and the obsequies are not yet fully determined upon, but 1t Is expected the remains will be conveyed to the Hohenlohes' ancestral home at Schilingsfurst, Batavia, where the fani- Iy vault is situated, and where tho body of Prince von Honenlohe's wife Is in- tered It is also expected that Chancellor Won Buelow will break his seaside rest and attend the funeral.
 Although Emperor William has fixed his departure on his trip to Norway for Mon. day next, it is deemed likely that his ma jesty will postpone the date of his depart ure on his trip in order to enable him to attend the obsequies. Owing to Emperor Williams relationship to Prince Won Hohenlohe, his majesty always called the Prince Uncle Chlodwig."
 It is not believed here that the body of Prince Won Hohenlohe will be brought to Berlin before taken to Schillingsfurst.
 The officers of the United States em- bassy informed the correspondent of the Associated Press that the death of the former chancellor was much regretted because of his uniform kindliness toward Americans and American interests.
 Prince Won Hehenlohes attitude through his chancellorship was always fair and conciiatory In regard to Ger many-American relations. Although he was an extensive estate owner, he did not share the agrarian hostility toward the United States. It was certainly ow- ing, in large measure, to Prince Won Hohenlohe's friendly spirit during several years that Germanys rlations with the United States never departed from cor diality. He received many Americans, and was always friendly to them.
 At the time of the death of United States Ambassador Theodore B. Runyon, in 1896. which occurred in the middle of the night, Secretary Jackson went, early in the morning, to inform the cabinet ministers of the ambassadors demise, but only found Prince Won Hohenlohe ready to receive him.
 The Lokal Anzeiger today says:
 "Prince Von Hohenlohe left lengthy memoirs for publication which are ex- peoted to appear soon. Some of them, it is said, are to defend his former policy"
 The papers print laudatory paragraphs of Prince Lohenlohe Only the Agrarian press mingles it's laudatory remarks with criticism, owing to the economic views of the prince

EUROPEAN STATION
 IS RE-ESTABL|SHED Rear Admiral Cromwell Has Been Placed in Command HIS FLAGSHIP CHICAGO The European Station Was Discon- tinued Just Prior to the Begin
 ming of the War With Spain in 1898.
HIS FLAGSHIP CHICAGO

Washington, July 6-The Navy Depart ment has issued formal orders re-estab- fishing the European station with Rear Admiral J. B. Cromwell In command. The cruiser Chicago is ordered to pro- ceed from Rio and will be the flagship of the admiral. The Albany and Nashville have sailed from Singapore en route for the new station. The headquarters of the squadron will be designated by Admlra, Cromwell and probably will be in the Mediterranean.
 Admiral Cromwell at Rio has acknowl- edged the receipt of his orders It Is ex- pected that the rendezvous of the ships at the time they assemble will be Gi braltar. The European station, although marked on the naval maps, has not been in actual existence since just before the breaking out of the Spanish war. Srior to that time the several ships had been in lhe Mediterranean and the San Fran cisco and the Bancroft made a hurried departure from those daters to avoid the complications likely to ensue when that war was declared.
 The limits of the station are Port Said, at the entrance of the Red Sea, on the east, and a line running north and south through the Atlantic from the southern most point of Greenland to Para on the north coast of Brazil and thence east ward. This includes the Azores and all of the waters of Euroge and North Af- rica.
 Admiral Cromwell has been until now commander-in-chief- of the South Allan tic station, and his new assignment creat- ed vacancy which will be filled for the present by Captain Pendleton of the At lanta, now at Rio. If additional ships are sent to the South Atlantic later a rear admiral probably will be named for the command, but for the present there is no purpose of increasing the ships on that station. Neither Is there any present prospect of adding to the ships on the European station The re-establishment of the European station Is said to be en- tirely devoid of political significance and to be simply a move in the regular pro- cedure of the navy to place the service in the same condition that 1t was prior to the war.

Berlin Correspondence Of the London Chronicle
The Berlin city council. having decided to
place a group OF ornamental fountains in
Friedrichshain, a park in the northeast of
the city. accepted the design OF their city
architect, Herr Hoffman, Models of the
proposed fountains occupied a prominent
place in the recent exhibition of Berlin
modern architecture, and were there viewed
by the kaiser. His majesty has now re-
fused his sanction to the carrying out of
the design, and in an autograph letter ex-
plains his reasons for this step. In his
majesty's opinion the idea Of the ornamen-
tation Of fountains illustrating well-known
German fairy tales is too garish and
snowy, and he proposes certain alterations
which he desires to be carried out The
prevalent opinion in municipal circles Is
that there is no legal authority for the
monarch to require that plans for the or
namentation of Berlin STALL be subject to
his sanction, especially in such case as
the present, Friedrichshain being absolute
communal property. and 1t Is feared that
fresh fuel viii be given TO the conflict al
ready preparing between the crown and the
municipal authorities.

something about here that caused me to
feel that she was just playing that part.
So l kept an eye on her and wasn't very

grin on her face, and, pushing her way
through with an umbrella, giving vent TO
many an audible expression of surprise
over the beauty of some of the displayed
articles that caught her eye, and calling
the saleswoman honey and employing the
nanny dialect perfectly, when she stop

was almost on the point OF fnwardly de-
claring that my suspicion had been unjust
and of feeling a trifle ashamed of having
imputed dishonest motives to an old-time
southern NANNY, who seemed, after all, to
be genuine. when, as they say, IT hap

wanted a divorce from her husband in or
der that she might marry another man.
The husband declined to sue her for a
divorce and she had no ground upon which
to sue him for one So she deliberately
got herself arrested for stealing so that
he would have to get a divorce from her.
She told me all this in the most naive way
in the world, and said that she was very
happy with her new husband.
