AT THE TOMB OF M'KINLE7.
terry Yesterday-Mrs. Mckinley
Holding Her Own.

Canton, o., Sept. 23.-Dr. Rixey said
last evening that there had been no
material change in the condition OF
Mrs. Mckinley. and that she was do
ing as well as could be expected. He
said:
"She went out for two hours drlv-
ing Yesterday and still seems to be
holding her own."
Yesterdays drives were taken in
the family carriage, an open surrey,
which the president had sent on from
Washington for use during the sum-
mer vacation. DR.. RiXey and Mrs. G.
Barber accompanied Mrs. Mckinley.
The first trip was to the cemetery,
yesterday morning, and it was taken
at the request of Mrs. Mckinley.
A much longer drive was taken dur
ing the afternoon at the suggestion
of the doctor, who feels that his pa
tient is benefited by all the outdoor
life she can stand and "a be induced
to take. These outings have always
had a tendency to produce sleep and
rest and to increase the appetite for
her, and they now have that effect
to a degree at least. 1t is understood
that Mrs. Mckinley is securing fairly
good rest in the midst of her sorrow
and grief.
There was placed on the Mckinley
casket. yesterday, by Judge William
r. Day a large floral wreath from
the emperor of Russia. Judge Day re-
ceived a telegram from Charge de At
flares De Wollante of the Russian en-
bassy at Washington, requesting him
to have this wreath placed on the
casket Of the late president. 1t is
oval in shape and eve feet by six.
1t is composed, on one side, of Ameri-
can Beauty roses, and on the other
side of orchids. The base is of Sage
palms, the entire wreath being inter
spersed with small cocoa ferns, tied
with orchid satin ribbon.
The resting place of h late presi-
dent was visited by thousands of peo-
pie. yesterday, probably over twenty
thousand persons entering he gates
of Westlawn cemetery between the
early hours OIL the morning anu the
late hours of the evening. The at
fractions were the floral tributes sent
for the funeral which a been ar
ranged on either side of the vault.
They are still in a very good state
of preservation, and probably will be
for several days longer.
The guard of regular soldiers pa
trolled a very wide circle around the
vault and the flowers yesterday so
hat a long line could view the flowers
at one time, and thus they prevented
serious congestion.
A number of beautiful flowers were
also placed On the graves of the Nc
Kinley children, which are also pro-
tecte1 by a patrol of soldiers. Many
CT the crowd wandered from the vault
to the private lot, many also climbed
the high knoll in the new cemetery.
the prospective site of the permanent
Mckinley tomb monument, all agree
ing that it was the most appropriate
location.

SHE'S EVERY INCH A RACER.
But Columbia Must Do Her Best OF
Shamrock Will Carry on
the Cup.

New York, Sept. .23.-Saluted by
scores of vessels as she was towed
through the East river yesterday
morning, the cup defender Columbia
flying the pennant of the New York
Yacht club at her masthead, looked
every inch the racing craft that she is.
The Columbia reached the Morse iron
works, in Brooklyn, at noon, and at
one o'clock she was hoated into the
sectional dock, astern of the steamer
Old Dominion. In two hours the yacht
was high and dry and blocked up in
position for her last cleaning before
the great international race.
Stages were slung all around her
before dark, and early this morning a
gang of men were put to work burn
ishing her bronze hull.
The yacht had many visitors yes
terday. among them several yachts.
men. Tt was learned that the Column
bia is using the old defenders boom
n mainsail with which she won the
trial races at Newport. 1t is not like
ly that any change will be made in
either the boom or the sail until after
the first race.
1t is safe to say that fully 5000 peo-
pie visited the Shamrock IL. at the
Erie Basin dry lock yesterday
Expert opinions were not lacking
from both those who had visited the
defender and the challenger. Former
Commodore John c. Prague, who has
won races with his yachts in the
old days than any other, said:
Il like the shape of the Shamrock,
and if her sails are as good as the
Columbia's she will win the cup. Her
rigging is strong and her mast is in
the right place. Another good feature
is that her boom comes down close to
the deck. She looks bigger all over
than the Columbia, and L feel sure she
is a fast boat"

President Roosevelt spent his first
day in Washington as president of the
United States (the 20th) in picking
up the threads of public business of
a routine nature, which must be dis
posed of by the chief executive. 1t
was almost a day of drudgery.
The London Statist says the chief
danger to the Roosevelt administra-
ton is a collision with Germany over
the Monroe doctrine, and that this
collision may come while America is
not prepared and Germany is pre-
pared. We may be sure Germany will
only respect the Monroe doctrine so
long as she feels too weak at sea to
challenge it."
