ton on Presidents Day, June I3. if Mrs

prepared for his entertainment on that
day.
Mrs. McKinleys illness in San Francis
co necessitated the cancellation of the en-
tire schedule beyond that city including
the visit to the exposition. but when Mrs
Nckinley's condition improved the Presi-
dent began to consider the matter Of full
filing the Buffalo engagement. His abiI-
ity to do so will depend entirely upon ne

THE RANALD GOES DOWN.
Futile Efforts to Save the British
Tramp Steamship.

ATLANTIC CITY N J, June 4-The
British tramp steamship RanaId. whose
cargo Of pitch partly Iiquefied from the
heat and shifted, causing Captain Cassidy
to bring the steamship TO anchor two
miles off Atlantic City. sank this morn
ing where she lay at anchor.
The ship came to anchor yesterday and
lay nearly abreast Of Young's ocean pier,
with list to port that submerged the
rail and brought the water to within two
feet Of her hatches Capt Timothy A
Parker. Of the local life-saving station,
attempted to board the ship yesterday,
but the first mate would not allow him
on aboard However, as he noticed that
the ship was ii a sinking condition Cap
tain Parker decided to keep an eye on
her.
After four powerful ocean tugs had
tried to keel the steamer on her keel and
failed and every effort had been made to
stop the cargo OF pitch from further
shifting. the vessel finally went down at
I:f5 a m. and now lies on the oceans
bottom in thirty-six feet Of water
Shortly after midnight the Ife-saving
crew, which was stationed on the beach
about two miles from the steamer. was
notified that assistance was needed and
Captain Stellman put cut in the surf boat
When the steamer was reached ali of the
small boats were in the water and the
crew stood ready TO pull for the shore
From then on the vessel steadily listed
until at I o'clock she was as far over as
she could be and still float At 1:15 o'clock
the crews pulled away and none too soon,
as the steamer dropped out Of sight and
was swallowed up by the sea. Not the
slightest trace of the vessel is visible. She
lies on level bottom about mile off
the end of Young's pier. Capt. Hamilton
Cassidy and his crew of twenty-four men
came ashore and were examined by health
officers. afterward being permitted to go.
The mail from the steamer, consisting of
four bags and 4 box for New York. was
placed in the local postofHce to be for
warded. Captain Cassidy said this morn
ing that he would have remained on board
but for the fact that the matches were
blown off by the air in the hold He and
his crew saved but little. The cargo is
valued at S3o16Q5 and the steamer Is val
ued at SIG00C0- She was christened the
Clan Ranald twenty years ago and re
Gently changed her name to the Ranald.
The captain and the crew left here on the
noon train for New York.

AGAINST In BXHRASBSSION
The Decision of the President and
Members of the Cabinet.

An announcement That Existing
Conditions Do Not Warrant Calling
Congress Together or Milking Any
Change in The Philippine Policy
After the meeting of the Cabinet today
which lasted until after / o'clock the fol-
lowing official announcement was made
The President has determined that
existing conditions DO not require or
warrant calling Congress together dur
ing the present summer OF making any
change in the policy hitherto pursued
and announced IN regard TO the fhli-
lppIne Islands
This conclusion was reached after an
exhaustive discussion of the matter by
the various members Of the Cabinet At
torney General Knox. who has been max
ing a careful examination of the Supreme
Courts decisions in the insuIar eases dur
ing the past week, submitted to the Cab
met an opinion IN which ne dweIt upon
every phase OF the situation. and not
witnstanding statements 70 the contrary
it was found that his views were not at
wide variance with those entertained by
Secretary Root who has also been devot-
1ilS LlAtl4 LA4lLt t~Aita attS-At-FA " q ~N.N-s
Of the several opinions.
1t was finally decided that the best plan
10 pursue would be to defer any action in
the matter of the Philippines until the
Supreme Court has rendered its decision
in the case now pending which affects the
islands. and that matters viii be allowed
to follow the same course they have been
taking for some time past. The DingIey
tariff duties viii still continue IN force
against the islands as heretofore, and if
the Supreme Court decides that their i'm
position is unconstitutional and Illegal it
VIII only be necessary to refund whatever
has been paid.
1t is also understood from the decision
OF the Cabinet today that the Taft Com
mission viii be allowed TO continue its
work as heretofore. and that the steps to
ward inaugurating a civil government in
possible that the establishment of civil
government may be deferred until after
October when the court viii have rem
dered its decision. This viii simply give
the Commission more time in which to
prepare its plan
While it may be disappointment to the
Fiipinos it is thought that the situation
may be explained to them if it is found
necessary 10 delay. Still, there is little
question as to the eonstitutionality Of the
Spooner amendment in respect TO the au-
thority to establish civil government, the
principal point being the matter Of tariff
duties. There is great relief and much
satisfaction expressed among officials over
the decision against calling an extra
session Of Congress.

Wounded During the Engagement.
LONDON, June 4-The pessimistic
spirit in regard to the South African
war situation mas been revived by the
detailed report of the fight with Cen
eraI Delarey from General Kitchener
which reached the War Office today,
having been sent from Pretoria.
The heavy list Of British casualties
shows that the Beers fought with their
time determination as though to
give proof that although their forces
have been greatly reduced, they are
neither discouraged nor demoralized, as
has been frequently alleged in recent
dispatches.
During the-kattle at Vlakfontein, De-
Iarey's burghers did great damage to
the British who opposed them. Six
English officers and ffty-one men were
killed and six officers and 115 men
wounded One officer and seven men
are missing.
General Kitchener's report on the en-
gagement follows:
''Dixon's report says ! 80 men with
seven guns were engaged on our side
Our force returned TO the camp at
Niakfontein. when the enemy, under
cover OF the Eeidt fire. rushed the rear
guard, consisting Of two guns. 80 Yeo-
nlanry, and 100 Derbyshires. The
Beers temporarily captured the two
guns.
The remainder of the force then
came into action and the guns We're o.
re-captured, the enemy TepuIsed, and
the BCcr position occupied
Our casualties were 6 officers and 81
men killed and officers and 115
wounded and ] officer and men miss
ing ore officer and four men have
since died from their wounds Forty
one Beers were found dead on the
ground. Further Boer casualties are
unknown RC-euforcsments are being
sent. KITCHENER"
Even in official circles. The discour-
aging effect Of General Kitchener's re-
port is apparent. It is assumed that
there will soon be a determined and
concerted effort to crush Delarey's
force

Three Men Known to BE on a Se-
cret Mission of Destruction EIude
tie Aufhoriti~s-Lfsts of Dangerous
Persons Being Prepared at Geneva
GENEVA, Switzerland, June 4-The
European authorities have become great
Iy concerned over the evidence of re-
newed activity among the violent class
Of Anarchists. and the police Of Russia
are especially alarmed because Of the IN
settled conditions in the Empire OF the
Gar
It is feared that the Anarchists are
planning further attempts on the lives Of
crowned heads and there is secret activi-
ty among the police of almost all the
European countries.
Many police from Russia have arrived
in this city within the past few days and
they are cooperating with the Swiss au-
| thorities in the preparation of a list OF
Anarchists known to be dangerous 1t is
expected that as soon as this list has been
completed it VIII be secretly sent to al
parts of the world and the police of the
various nations notified 10 look out for
the persons named therein.
The principal reason for this renewed
activity in the work of running down the
dangerous apostles of violence against
those in the highest authority is that the
continental police have lost all trace of
three men who are known to have been
entrusted with an anarchistic mission,
They were followed until recently when
they suddenly efuded all surveillance and
the most painstaking efforts have failed to
locate them The Russian police fear that
they viii accomplish their mission be-
fore they can be apprehended-
News reaches here from Paris that a
list of Anarchists is also being prepared
in that city and the French authorities
are making great efforts to discover the
whereabouts of the three men who have
disappeared
The police refuse to tell whether or not
they are familiar with the details OF the
plot which this trio is expected to carry
out. but their increased activity leads 10

tentions of the Anarchists and are deter
mined 10 foil them
