Plans For Mckinley Monument.

CANTON, OHIO, Sept. 90
Judge William r. Day and others
of the funeral committee yester-
day took steps looking to a per-
manent monument organization.
Papers were drawn for incorpor-
alton under the laws of Ohio of
the National Mckinley Memo
rial association. :" 1t is to be
made national in scope and per-
sonnet from the first, and its pur-
pose is to build a memorial mon
ument in Westlawn cemetery.
The plan is to have the whole
counGry unite IN defraying the
cost of this tribute, making it a
popular move, rather than to Sc
cure large appropriations or
contributions in any one quarter.

CUBA and the GRAND Army
Some of the Questions Facing President RoOev are the Trade
Relations With Cuba and tnr Retention of PenOn
Commissioner Evans.

Ter. he Will say lldl since he -
not in position 10 know any
thing about the merits of the
case from personal observation,
and is not a member of the or
ganization, he does not feel war
ranted in trying to solve the
problem. He will point to the
well known fact that Mr. Evans
has the Endorsement of what
seems to be the conservative,
and therefore the strongest, ele-
ment in the Grand Army body,
and says that until the veterans
can get together they ought not
to expect executive interference
or action. Meanwhile Mr.. Ev-
ans, should he choose to do so,
will continue to discharge the
duties of his Office.
Much interest, as far as the @.
A. r. is concerned, attaches to
the policy yet to be announced,
of the new commander in chief,
Judge Torrance, of Minneapolis.
AS is known, the national en-
campment in Cleveland, when
on the point of taking up the
regular business of the order,
adjourned out of respect to
President Mckinley, who had
just died. Judge Torrance and
the other officers had been
elected. but this is as far as the
work of the encampment had
been carried. All business mat
tiers including the report of the
pension committee, were referred
by the encampment, with power
to act, to Judge Torrance and
the new council of administration.
They will take them up in a few
weeks and begin to announce The
Grand Army policy for the COM
ing year. That announcement
will have strong influence on
the anti-Evans agitation in
Washington, which always gets
under way about the time con-
gress convenes.
AS candidate for commander
in-chief, Judge Torrance occu-
pied conservative middle ground
between two bitter extremes. and
this, by the way. was what led
to his triumphant election on the
first ballot, the order feeling that
it could not afford, in view of all
circumstances, to commit itself
to an Endorsement of Gen. Sick
les or of Gen Stewart. The for
mer represented all the bitter
fight that has been made on Ev-
ans. and indirectly on Mckinley
for retaining Evans. The latter
represented the friends Of
Evans Indeed, it was charged
at Cleveland that he was Evans
personal choice for comman-
der-in-chief. Judge Torrance
stood betN cen these two ex-
IRENE positions. When asked
about the pension question, he
replied that he had very decided
views regarding it, but should
refuse to make them the basis
of an appeal for votes. No ole,
therefore, is in position to say
what his pension policy will be
as commander-in -chief. 1t is not
difficult, however, to believe
that he will not make the spec
tacle of himself and of the order
that was made by his predeces.

preston passed over his coun-
tenance that he was thinking of

cent untainted faith he sought
and obtained comfort from the
father confessor.
Finally he broke the spell

That was all.
The moment seemed to repre-
sent crisis in the inner life of
the assassin. His questioners
respected his silence as sacred
and troubled him no more.
The party arrived in Auburn
at 3:15 a. m. The prison is only
about fifty yards from the depot.
Awaiting the arrival of the train
was crowd of about two hun
dred persons. Either for fear
of the crowd, which was not very
demonstrative, or from sight of the
prison, Czolgcsz' legs gave out and
two deputy sheriffs were compelled to
practically carry the man into the
prison.
Inside the gate his condition be-
came worse and he was dragged up
the stairs and into the main hall. He
was placed in a sitting posture on the
bench while the handouts were being
removed, but he fell over and moaned
and groaned, evincing the most alb
ject terror.
J AS soon as the handouts were un-
locked the man was dragged into the
principal keepers office. AS in the
case of all prisoners, the officers i'm
mediately proceeded to strip him and
put on new suit of clothes.
During this operation Czolgosz
cried and yelled, making the prison
corridors echo with evidence of his
terror. The prison physician, DIR.
John Germ, examined the man and
ordered his removal to the cell in the
condemned row, which he will occupy
until he is taken to the electric chair
The doctor declared that the man
was suffering from fright and terror,
but said that he was shamming to
some extent. The collapse of the
murderer was surprise to every one.

COL. MEADE ON THE STAND
HE SAY LAUCHHEIMER WAS VERY
DRUNK AT THE BOSTON PARTY.
Another Witness Says the Major Wore
Only ENTERTAINMENTS and N
White Helmet.

NEW YORK. Nov. 30.-The taking of
evidence In the Meade court-martial ended
to-day. The last witness on the stand was
the accused himself. After the cross-exam-
ination Of Colonel Meade the court handed
this question to the judge advocate:
"In using the word 'collusion' in your tes-
timony before the court OF inquiry, refer
ring TO Colonel Denny and the architect,
Mr.. Boring. did you mean IT in a monetary
sense?"
INC, sir; / lie IT." replied Colonel
Meade. The word was not mine. Tho
cross-examination aroused the expression.
and In the heat and hurry of cross-exami-
nation I inadvertently copied Major LAUGH
eimer's phrase. I meant that from the let
ter written by Mr.. Boring to Colonel Den
ny IN which 1 was accused of habitual
intoxication and that all OF the men of my
considered me an imbecile and
many other things. I inferred that the
architect was associated with Colonel Den
ny IN his efforts to make trouble for me-"
On direct examination Colonel Meade was
asked concerning the party at his home in
Boston. In reply he said: When 1 testi-
fed concerning that matter. 1 did so under
protest. L was ordered TO do so and had
10: L did not want 10, for l did not con-
slider the matter pertinent to the case.
Colonel Meade. referring 10 Major LAUGH
heimer, at. the Boston party, testified: "He
was very drunk. He was noisy, Obtrusive
and Objectionable. l kept him in my library
some time In order that he might recover
himself. Later in the evening he sat In
the parlor while the youngsters were sing
ing some songs and he wept. 1 saw him
weep"
At the morning session the defense de-
voted its attention to the alleged miscon-
duct OF Major Lauchheimer, one of the
formal accuser OF Colonel Meade, Captain
M J. Shaw and Lieutenant h. Harrison,
OF the marines, both testifytng that the
major was intoxicated at q party given by
Colonel Meade In Boston IN 1897. r. l..
Meade, son of the accused officer, testified
that the major was ct the party in maudlin
condition The same witness also testified
that on the occasion that Major LAUGH
heimer is alleged TO have visited Captain
Fuller's quarters In questionable condition
the major appeared clad only in his under
garments and a white helmet. Edward E.
Allen, Of Boston, who attended a Meade
party, also gave testimony as TO the alleged
condition OF Major Lauchheimer.

french Ambassador Forced to Listen
TO PrO-AngIO-American Speeches.

LONDON. Nov. 3O.-Amusement has been
created among the members of the diplo-
matte corps by what is termed the French
ambassadors ordeal at the Thanksgiving
dinner given under the auspices of the
American Society in London. throughout
the evening NJ. Cambon was obliged to
listen TO perfervid expressions of Anglo
American brotherhood, which, toward the
end Of the nner. developed into enthusi-
astic prophesies that the world would be
controlled by English-speaking peoples,
without a single reference to France, ex-
cept by Henry White, United States charge
d'affaires, who, with a tactful utterance,
officially disowned the thoughtless treat
ment of the chief guest and got himself out
from what might have been an awkward
predicament.
Poor Cambon," said a member of the
diplomatic corps TO a representative of the
Associated Press, felt very uncomfortable
but outwardly he took the whole affair as
a rather good joke on himself. 1t is like
~ TO be a long time, however, before he at
tends another such banquet. Ii was a great
mistake 10 invite him" The affair has
created no little annoyance TO the Ameri-
can embassy.

Denial of a Rumor that He Was Com

War on British Securities.

LONDON, Nov. 3.-In anticipation Of
this being the last appearance in public of
Theodore Jackson and Laura Jackson (Ann
O'Delia Diss De Barr on their committal
for trial at the Old Bailey, the Police Court
was crowded to-day. The principal witness
during the days proceedings was DR.. Mary
Adams, whose testimony, the female pris-
oner declared at the last hearing, would
prove that the present charges were the
result of a conspiracy on the part of the
promoters Of a rival sect known as the
Koreshan Unity. The female prisoners
cross-examination of DR.. Adams led to sew
eral scenes, during which Mr.. Jackson de-
nounced DR.. Adams as the murderess Of
her husband.
According to the evidence Of DR.. Adams,
she left France in 1899 and got mixed up
with the prisoners at Glen Echo, a suburb
Of Washington. She further testified that
the prisoners obtained from her money I'M
der false pretenses and lured her to New
York. She accompanied them to England,
Paris and Cape Town.
Finding that the trend of DR.. Adams's
evidence was unpalatable the female pris-
oner shouted: Your husband died of poi
son, didn't he?"
NO." replied DR.. Adams.
At this point the male prisoner jumped
to his feet. .
you are a murderess," he shouted.
Mrs. Jackson Gained her husband and
then continued to c~ross-examine DIR. Ad-
ans. who denied that she was ever ac-
cused Of numbering her husband. When,
later, she was examined by Charles w.
Mathews. senior counsel to the treasury,
DR.. Adams related her own experience witt
the prisoners, which ressmbled incidents
related by the girl victims. While at Cape
Town the Jackson establishment was so
notorious that the soldiers mobbed the
house.
After further testimony had been pre-
sented in regard to the male prisoners
malpractices the prisoners both denounced
DR.. Adams with shouts of liar" and per
turer." The prisoners were committed for
trial at the Old Bailey on Dec. s.
