WILL START SUNDAY.
CONDITION OFF Mrs. M'I<INLIEY CON-
TINUES TO IMPROVE.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 22-Mrs Nc
Kmley has passed another comfortable
day. Secretary Cortelyou said to the
Associated Press tonight that she con-
tinues to improve and is now doing nice
ly. When asked if he could state def
initely when the president would leave
for Washington, Secretary Cortelyou re-
piled: 81 can only say that the pres:-
DENTAL party proposes to depart on Sun
day If Mrs McKinleys condition viii
permit There is a possibility, however,
that start may not be made until
Monday. All depends on the state Of
Mrs. McKinley's health"
President Mckinley was a guest of the
Knights Templars at the Mechanics
pavilion this afternoon. The president
arrived at the pavilion about O'clock
being driven direct from the Scott resi-
dence. The president was met at the
pavilion by a procession of 500 Sir
knights from this city and other cities
of the state in full rega1ia and escorted
inside the building, where 1900 people
had already assembled The appearance
of the president on the platform caused
a demonstration that shook the largo
building. Gen. W. II. L. Barnes opened
the programme with a graceful speech,
introducing President Mckinley. Fol-
lowing the introductory address of Gen.
Barnes, a choir of $50 voices sang the
"remplar's Prayer" With the accompali-
ment of a band of sixty pieces, and the
effect was most impressive Then Presi-
dent Mckinley responded to the address
of welcome
Every Knight and Mason was provided
with small American flag. They were
waved necessarily all through the exer-
cises. The feature of the programme
was a presentation Of a beautiful silk
American flag to President Mckinley.
The flag is a spear head Of gold. Fol
lowing the presentation of the flag, THE
Star-Spangled Banner" was sung by the
audience and there was patriotic dem
onstration which will be long remember
ed by all who Witnessed it, This closed
the exercises for the afternoon and the
president returned ITO the Scott resi-
dence.

KANSAS JUDGES In JAIL
REFUSE TO ORDER TAX LEVY FOR
RAILROAD NEVER BJIIT

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 22-S. G.
Peden, one of two st. Clair county
judges recently sent to Jail for refusing
to order tax levy to pay interest OH
bonds for a railway in that county that
was never built, Is said to be willing TO
obey the federal courts mandate. Mob
law had previously been threatened in Ct
Clair county at the slightest sign OF pay
ing for the bonds, and II Judge PeIen
should agree to the levy it is believed
by federal officials here that the citizens
of that county will deal severely with
him. For years the judges Of that
county have refused to order the levy
and when ordered to do 80 different sets
of judges have been ordered sent to jaiI
by federal courts sitting in Kansas City.
Two sets of judges have spent their en-
tire terms behind the bars A month
ago three Of the newly elected Judges
stole into Osceola at night to hold court
and to issue a tax levy to run the coun-
ty. Judge Peden and Judge Thomas
hewitt were arrested and brought here,
the third judge escaping to the woods.
Judge Peden was sentenced to the
Bethany jail and Judge hewitt to War
rensburg. Judge Peden sent his resig-
nation to Gov. Dockery today and saws
If it is not accepted he will obey tho
order of the federal court and sign an or
der for the tax levy

new ORDNANCE TRUST
COMBINATION OF ARMAMENT AND
AMMUNITION MANUFACTURERS

AMMUNITION MANOF'ANTCH Hf1tUS.
NEW YORK, May 22.-The Herald will
say tomorrow The Information has
leaked out that an American ordnance
and navy armament syndicate is form
ing which will consist Of the briggs
Seabury Gun and Ammunition company.
Of Derby Conn.,, and the American Ord
nance company, controlled by Charles r.
Flint, of this city This proposed new
company, it is stated, will not be identi-
fed with the Cramp- -Vickers-B Bethlehem
company, and it Is the intention of its
management to operate the company in
direct competition with the long projected
Anelo-American Gun and Shipbuilding
combination.
The first step toward the formation Of
the company was taken some weeks ago
when the control of the Driggs-Seabury
Gun and Ammunition company passed
into the hands of financial syndicate,
in which c. r. Flint and G. Williams are
interested No formal merger of tho
two companies has as yet taken place,
nor is there likely to be complete con-
solidation of the two companies for some
time to come, as other and more extern
sive plans are pending which, it is stat
ed, must mature before the actual con-
solidation takes place. The capital stock
or the Dr1g8S-Seapury company 10 Sl,VVV,-
COO and arrangements have been made
to increase the capital stock to So, 600.
1t was learned yesterday in connection
with the consolidation of the Cramps
and the Vickers-Maxim companies and
the purchase of the controlling interest
in the Bethlehem Steel company that the
gun and ordnance department of the
English concern, and not the complete
plant, would be bought. This report wo-s
confirmed by Henry Seligman, Of j. & w.
seligman & Co., who is director of the
Cramps Shipbuilding company.
