ON THE RETURN JOURNEY.
Presidential Train Reaches Ogden
Itnh-MrS. Mckinley Standing
the Trip Wen.

Ogden. Utah May 26.-The presi-
Dental train traversed the State Of
Nevada to-day, and reached Ogden at
$50 o'clock tonight The route lay
along the Humboldt river, through
the Ruby and Wasatch mountains, and
then descended into the salt Lake
basin. During most of the day the
elevation exceeded five thousand feet,
and snow-clad peaks We're continually
in sight from the car windows; At
this season of the year the ride across
Nevada is exceed ngly disagreeablc.
The heat is oppressive and the dust
from the desert is frequently blind
ing. Fortunately for Mrs. Mckinley,
one of those heavy rain storms which
so rarely visit this region swept COM
pletely over the state last night, lay
ing the dust and tempering the at
mosphere. 1t rained also several
times during the day. The weather
seemed almost like a special interyen-
ton of Providence for the benefit of
the gentle sufferer Mrs. Mckinley
had passed a comfortable night cross
ing the Sierras last night, but the trip
to-day was looked forward to with
some apprehension. The rain, how
ever, relieved the anxiety, and Dir.

Kinley was standing the trip very

THE PEARL HARBOR STATION.
The Naval hoard Adheres to the
View that Pearl Is the Only De-
fensiye Harbor in Hawaii.

Washington. May 26.-The naval
board having charge of the location
of naval station on Pearl Harbor.
Hawaii. has completed its work. The
board adheres to the view that Pearl
is the only harbor in the Hawaiian
group capable of complete naval de-
fense. 1t is only five miles from Hon.
nl,lln- Ai,,ol. .sf tho surrounding 1uuu
has been occupied for commercial
purposes. The board proposes to
leave this shore land for commercial
purposes, and. if possible, TO locate
the naval station on the large islands
lying in the middle of the harbor. As
some of this island land was raised 10
a high price since it was learned the
government might want it, the board
is disposed to consider much larger
tract OF island land, so that the final
selection may be made with less re-
striction. The improvement Of the
harbor contemplates a deep water
channel across the coral bar at rha
entrance, and heavy batteries on each
side of the entrance.

EUROPEAN CROP OUTLOOK.
Adverse Weather Conditions VIII

London, May 26.-The Mark Lane
Express, commenting upon the ad-
verse weather conditions, says: "At
present there is no probability of the
wheat harvest beginning in July even
in Sussex and Thanet, while in East
Anglia, il is not likely to be gathered
before the third week in August, The
present cereal year, therefore, will
have to ind food for j5 weeks.
Reports from Austria-Hungary
show over an average wheat promise
in the Austrian Tyrol, Hungary, Bo.
hemia and Silesia; a fair average in
Crota aud Bosnia, and below the ay-
erage in Galcia and Pennsylvania.
I'm Algeria the harvest Is beginning

With what tact his majesty preserves

ship with the king dated from the
time of the royal visit to America,
when Col. Eliot acted as the mentor
OF the then prince of Wales. lay dy-

not had any intimate relations with
the king for many years, but his
majesty, hearing of the soldiers con-
dition, Immediately drove to tie club,
got out and inquired sympathntically
for his former friend, and these Wis
its were continued daily until Col.
Eliot died. Princess Christian also
called at the club, for Eliot was for
merly a member of her household.
She walked straight to his room, said
few words and kissed the dying
mans hand.
