THE PRESIDENTS PLANS.
Mr. Mckinley Not to Return to
Washington This Week.

N1NnAIEIBn MS " Sth-
SAN FRANCISCO, May 21--Mrs- Nc
Kinley continues to improve and is very
much stronger today
Although the bulletin issued by SecTe-
tary Cortclyou at o'clock last evening
left some reason to believe that the Pres
i5ent would consider from time to time
during the progress of Mrs Mckinley :
convaIescence the question of attending
public functions which the citizens Of this
city are arranging IL his honor, it is eX-
pected that there will be no elaborate pro
gramme Of events.
AIr. Mckinley has not vet seriously con
sidered attending any event except the
school chiIdreR's s review on Nanness Ave
nue. today. There Is some talk of having
him attend an afternoon reception Of the
Ohio Society. but the President has not
consented
In general the President wishes to avoid
as many Of the events as possible for he
has passed through a period of great aHX-
iety on account of Mrs MckiHIey's des-
perate illness and he Is looking forward
to the time when he can see her safely
removed to her home in Washington
Probably il will be several days before a
date will be set for the return to the
Capital.
The plan to start back the last Of this
week, which was considered up to yes
terday. has been given up. This is not be
cause of any change for the worse in
Mrs. McKinIey-s condition. but simply be
cause the physicians win not recommend
a long journey for the invalid before she
has had time to recover her normal
strength

NEW WARsHIPs PLANNED.
Construction of Powerful Vessel,
Being Considered by the Navy.


Being Considered by the Navy.
After consultation with the naval board
of experts Rear Admiral BowIes. chief Of
the Bureau Of Construction and Repair
was today authorized TO proceed with the
preparations Of designs for the construc-
ton of the largest and most powerful
war vessel ever considered by the United
States Navy The proposed battIeship viii
be leo tons heavier than the greatest
naval vessel ever constructed abroad.
The naval board has had the matter
under consideration for some time and
has come to the conclusion that the limit
in the size Of the battleshfp has not been
reached by the British 15,090-ton vessels,
which have been duplicated by the
Georgia and Virginia type
Rear Admiral Bowles believes that
16,0o0-tOn battleship can be built with
greater speed and heavier batteries, yet
without increased draft, which it is in
tended 10 avoid, owing TO the shallow
American harboTs.
Plans viii be submitted to Congress next
session for one I6.G90-ton battleship mount
ing four Pinch, sixteen S-inch, and thirty
two 3-incE guns-a- battery not equaIed BY
any fighting vessel ever built This bat
tery would surpaSs the combined batteries
OF any two aTmored cruisers and with a
speed Of twenty-One knots the new ship
VIII be the most powerful on the seas.

COMMITTED BY THE PRESIDENT.
The Sentence of Boyd Wallace
Changed to Life imprisonment.

Changed to Life ImprIsOn nment.
Executive cIernency has been extended
in the case Of Boyd Wallace, clored, con-
demned 10 be hanged on Monday next for
the murder Of his haH-brother. Robert
Stafford. in this city. The President wiz
ed to the Department Of Justice this
morning committing the death penalty TO
life imprisonment. Presidential action was
taken in view of the recommendation OF
Attorney General Knox. who endorsed the
petition pleading for the Communication of
the sentence The petition was also ap-
proved by the Prosecuting Attorney ana
by the trial judge in the case
TIL opinion Of the Attorney General, ac-
companying his recommendation for ex-
ecutive cIemency, is addressed to the
President, and is as follows:
The petitioner, Boyd Wallace, a negro
was convicted of murder of one Robert
Stafford, his half brother, in the District
of Columbia, and Is under a sentence to
be hanged on May y instant 1t appears
from the evidence that the killing was the
result Of fight in which the condemned
cut the deceased with a large knife in
fiictiuS a wound in the abdomen which
resulted in the death of the deceased in
about six hours
THE quarrel and fight which terrni-
mated in the killing were OccaSiOQed by
jealousy and Tsvalry between the decea ased
and the condemned concerning one Har-
riet jackson, who had lived with the con-
demned as his wife for five or six years
and until short time before the killing
The evidence shows that the deceased
followed the condemned and said Harriet
Jackson from the house where all three
resided into a shed in the rear of the
yard and probably provoked the quarrel
and fight.
Under all the circumstances as shown
by the testimony l concur with the Dis
tTIct Attorney and trial judge in beIiev-
ing that this is 4 case where the jury
might reasonably have qualified the YER
dict by reporting guilty without capitai
punishment and l recommend that lie
sentence of death be commuted to ia
prisonment for life

seemed to be greater satisfaction on

During the entire meeting there was
not manifested any objection to a de-

on the conservation of the sources OF
supply for the upper plateaus. They
were, they said, only anxious that the
development be made, and no license
granted which was not one which was
certain to be utilized directly for the
| development of the water, and not as
an asset to persuade capital to take VI
| the plan.
