MRS. M'KINLEY TOO UNWELL
TO CONTINUE THE JOURNEY

San Francisco, May 1.-THE sud-
den illness of Mrs. Mckinley has
caused an unexpected change in the it.
inerary of President Mckinley. He
arrived in this city quietly this after
noon, several hours ahead of the time
scheduled. The state of Mrs. McKin-
leys health was such this morning
that the President decided to leave Del
Monte and bring his wife to this city
Immediately, to the home of Henry L.
Scott, where she could have complete
rest for a few days and where n spe-
cialist could be consulted If necessary.
A special of two cars and a locomotive
was made up from the Presidents
special, and at 1890 o'clock the Presi-
dent, Mrs. Mckinley, Miss Barber, the
Presidents niece; Secretary Cortelyou
and wife. DR.. RiXey and Mr.. II. L.
Scott and wife, left Del Monte for San
Francisco, leaving the remainder of
the presidential party at Del Monte.
Only few hundred people greeted
the President upon his arrival in this
city. His coming was not generally
known, and only those who Glanced to
see the bulletins posted by the news
papers, announcing that the President
would reach the city at 4 p. m, await
ed the train. The President, in order
to avoid the crowd that was expected
to assemble at the Southern Pacific de-
pot at Third and Townsend streets,
left he train with his little party at
Valencia street, n station in the south
ern part of the city.

Washington, May 13.-A general
strike, involving directly 10000 ma
chinists, and indirectly 10000 men in
the Woodworking trades, is expected
to take place on May Goth unless some
arrangement is effected in the mean
time. This is the statement made last
night by President James O'Connell of
the International Association of Ma
chinists, who has his headquarters in
this city. The demands of the men,
the refusal of which threatens to pre-
cipitate the strike, Mr.. O'Connell said,
are for working day of nine hours
and an increase Of 12h per cent. in
wages, or, in other words, ten hours
pay for nine hours work.
The matter, he said, has been under
consideration for some time, and ev-
cry effort has been made by the ma
chinists' association to avoid resorting
to strike, but such action, he says, is
now necessary if the workingmen hope
to attain the end they are striving for.
Some time ago through the efforts of
the international association and the
National Trades Association, the en-
ployers of about twenty-five per cent.
OF the men who would be affected by
the strike, made concessions by which
a general workday of nine hours was
to become operative on May Goth of
this year. The question of an increase
of wages, however, or its equivalent,
the granting of ten hours pay for nine
hours, remained unsettled. Saturday

When the train, consisting of bag
gage car and the Presidents special
cOacn, stopped at Valencia street,
Mrs. Mckinley was carried in a
steamer chair by two colored porters
from the private car to n closed car
riage in waiting. She was heavily
yelled and the President and Dr. Blk
by followed close behind. Mrs. Nc
Kinley was gently placed in the car
riage, and the President and DIR. Rixey
took seats in the same vehicle. The
President was quite pale. and looked
serious. The rest of the party fol-
lowed in carriages. Mr.. and Mrs.
Scott had arrived at their residence
ahead of the President, and were wait
ing to receive their distinguished
guests. Mrs. Mckinley was again
lifted out and placed in an invalid
chair and carried into the house.
Secretary Cortelyou. when ques-
toned concerning Mrs McKinley's con-
dition, stated that there was nothing
alarming in her present indisposition
and that perfect quiet and rest for a
few days would restore her to her
usual health. 1t was the impression,
however of those who saw Mrs. Nc
Kinley that she is very i'll and that
her present state may result in an en-
tire change of the Presidents pro-
gram.
Mrs. Mckinley is said to be suffer-
ing from nervous prostration brought
on bv the tiresome trip and bone fell
on one of her hands.

BENEFACTION TO BE

Chicago, May 13.-After tour of
the West, including visits TO several
colleges which had been the objects of
his benefactions, Dr. ID. X. PearSons
has returned to Chicago and an
nounced that he has drawn n line
through Chicago and has disinherited
everything and everybody east of that
line from any share in the money he
still expects to give away.
Not one penny, DIR. Pearsons says,
ever will go to any institution east of
Chicago. The million or two dollars
which he intends to dispose of within
the next year is all for the West
DR.. Pearson's statement was drawn
out partly by the visit of trustee of

from business in Chicago. Hereafter
he will devote himself to gardening,
raising chickens and driving about the
country near his place Mt Hinsdale.

FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND MEN
TO BE AFFECTED BY A STRIKE

association and the national association
of machinists held a conference in New
York, at which an attempt was made
to reach an agreement on the wage
matter, so that the strike proposed for
May Goth could be avoided.
Mr.. O'Connell, however, says that the
employers refused to arbitrate the
question of wages nationally, but that
they expressed a willingness that this
matter would be settled by employers
locally, each individual case to be treat
ed as such. This method Is unsatisfac-
tory to the representatives Of the ma
chinists' association, who express the
opinion that this would prolong indefi-

Upon his return to the city, Mr.. O'COn-
nell promptly prepared the order for
the strike, and it was sent out by mail
yesterday.
Mr.. O'Connell says that about 200
firms whose employees represent prob
ably twenty per cent. of the 100000
men who will be affected by the propos-
ed strike. have signed agreements for
the reduction in hours of labor and the
increase of pay, so that the agitation
on the subject already has benefited
them materially.
For prudential reasons the executive
committee has determined not at this
time to apply the strike order to the
railroads. Whether it will be done in
the future will depend altogether on
developments.
