PRESIDENT AT THE FAIR.
Enters Buffalo Through the Portals of
the Rainbow City.

Buffalo, Sept. 5.--President McKin-
ley entered Buffalo through the portals
of the Rainbow City. The screening
Of whistles and the booming of guns
greeted the presidents train as it
passed along the lake and river front
over the Belt line tracks to the
grounds. AS the train dashed past the
front a salute of 81 guns doomed
forth from Fort Porter.
An immense crowd had assembled
at the railroad terminus at the expo
sition grounds to await the arrival of
the president, and when President Nc
Kinley, with Mrs. Mckinley leaning
on his arm and surrounded by the re-
ception committee, emerged from the
entrance to the terminal station a
great cheer went up from the assem-
bled thousands.
President Mckinley, with Mrs. Nc
Kinley and John G. Milburn, president
of the Exposition company, entered
the first carriage, which proceedeC
slowly toward the Lincoln park en-
trance. Cheer after cheer went up
from the vast throng. The president
acknowledged the salutations Of the
crowd by bowling and raising his hat.
Mrs. Mckinley, who looked remark
ably we'll after the tiresome journey,
also smiled happily.
The carriage paused for a moment
on the triumphal bridge to give lne
occupants a moment to take in the
beauties of the grounds. 1t was then
driven rapidly to the home of Mr..
Milburn, whose guest President and
Mrs. Mckinley and the members of
their party will be during the stay in
the city.

American Shippers Have Captured the

Washington, Sept. 5.-Consul Gen.

ton to the state department, says that
the central Office for the preparation
Of commercial treaties at Berlin, in
recent circular publication, points out
as especially significant signs of the
times the fact that elaborate prepare
tions are now in progress for the per-
manent supply of American coal to
Northern France and Switzerland. The
present preparations include the crea-
ton in port in Northern France Of
an immense receiving station,
equipped with modern American ma
chinery for unloading, screening and
grading coal and for making briquettes
from the refuse dust and slack. For
the Swiss trade the French railways
have granted special freight rate
Of IL francs ($2.2D per ton, and with
this concession it is expected the
American coal will be able to under
sell and replace the supply which
Switzerland has hitherto drawn al
most exclusively from Germany.

The visit Of Vice President Roose-
velt at the state fair Monday proved a
great card for that exhibition as the
management no doubt figured on when
they secured his promise. His address
was strong one, probably one of the
strongest ever delivered on like &C.
casion in the northwest, and was
purely Rooseveltian in every sense in
its strenuosity. In the evening at the
rooms of the Minneapolis club, Hon.
Thos 81. Shevlin rendered Mr.. Roose-
welt banquet, which was fitting
close of the days program and was at
tended by a number of the leading
men of Minnesota and the northwest,
several of whom responded most
fittingly and eloquently to Uoasts pro-
posed. The rooms were most beauti-
fully decorated, and the banquet all
that could be desired. The whole
thing reflected. great credit upon Mr..
Shevlin, whose guest Mr.. Roosevelt
was during his stay in the cities, and
as Minnesota's representative on the
Republican national committee, it was
eminently fitting that Mr.. Shevlin
should SO extend to the vice president
the splendid hospitality he is so cap
able of giving in recognition of the
nations representative of strenuous
citizenship.

The Washington correspondent of
the st. Paul Dispatch says that the
friends of other possible candidates for
the Republican presidential nomina-
tion in 1904, are some nervous over the
movements of Theodore Roosevelt, and
while they have all along laughed at
the effect his trips might have upon
an event so far distant, yet this last
trip and the manner he has been re-
ceived not only in Minnesota, but also
in Illinois, where Gov. Yates and other
party leaders have openly announced
themselves in favor of his candidacy
has had a tendency to make them
nervous and the formation of Roosevelt
clubs throughout Kansas and at other
points in the west, does not tend to
allay that nervousness. The men who
were SO anxious to nominate Roose-
welt for vice president SO as to put him
on the shelf, are now having lots of
leisure in which to wonder why he
will not quietly stay on the shelf.

Vim. J. Bryan in a recent interview
acknowledges that he was fairly beaten
in 1896 and 1900. Up to last year he
used to hold that corporate intere SITS
intimidated the people and SO beat
him out of the presidency. The result
last November seems to have been an
eye opener, and he is now aware of
the fact that it's the people who put in
the votes against him.

Senator Vest of Missouri has written

Senator Vest OF Missouri mas written
a letter to friend in which he de-
clares that while still strong bime-
tallist, he thinks conditions have
changed SO that the silver question
should not be pressed at present.
While he processes great admiration
for Bryan as a campaigner, he ex-
presses his total distrust of him as a
party leader and does. not think him
fitted for such. Vest maintains that
there is no longer any reason for di-
viding the Democratic party, therefore
he holds that Bryan shows poor judg-
ment in advising the Democrats of the
United States to send no one as dele
gate to the national Democratic con-
vention who does not favor the Chi
cago or Kansas City platforms in every
clause. Such course he says will
still commit the party to free coinage
and drive away from it thousands of
voters who desire to remain with it.
Referring to leadership and the fact
that Bryan lacks the traits of great
leader, Senator Vest says leadership is
a peculiar and rare talent. ga man, Z"
he continues, "may be an orator,
lawyer and statesman, yet not neces-
sarily good leader. Jefferson, Van
Buren,, Lincoln and Mckinley have
been great political leaders and man
ayers in this country and Mr.. Nc
Kinley has never had a superior in
that regard. - Senator Vest has al
ways been a strong supporter of Bryan,
stood by him in both his presidential
campaigns, but he is not blind to the
results, and the fact that Bryan polled
a large vote, does not in the least lead
him astray of the fact that Bryan is
unpopular and can never win. While
his conclusions will not be pleasant
reading to Bryans ardent admirers,
yet they are nevertheless true, and
seem to be forcing themselves upon a
large element of that party who are
tired of following false issues to such
overwhelming defeat.

The state fair this year seems des-
tined to be a record breaker in all re-
spects. The first day surpassed in at
tendance that of any previous first day,
as a matter of course, because of the
visit of Vice President Roosevelt. Yes
terday was Minneapolis day, and it is
said the record of attendance was
again broken. Where is it going to
end, if this record breaking is kept up.
1t was thought last years record
would be difficult to break.

A Philadelphia millionaire by the
name of Elkins recently left the bulk
of his fortune for the benefit of super
anuated teachers in the public schools
of that city. 1t is said that nearly
100 applications have been made by
teachers for the assistance which this
bequest is designed to render, and the
amount which each will receive annu-
ally is $500. Contrary to many in
stances in such requests the executors
have found that the resources of the
estate left are much larger than at
first supposed and will foot up to over
81, 5000, 90, which after other legacies
are deducted will leave about 81, $50, :
600, which will produce a revenue of
about $40, 600 year, which will allow
for about 100 annuitants. There have
already been about 100 applicants for
the annuity, and about forty have
been certified to by the board of educa-
ton of that city as eli
glDle under the terms or Mr.. Elklns
will and it is thought that before the
close of the year, the number certified
by the board will be sufficient to
abolish the entire income of the prin-
cipal so set aside. Mr.. Elkins has
opened way which other millionaires
might follow with honor all over the
country. There is no more deserving
person than teacher after a quarter
of a century or more of faithful work,
and that one such should be in want,
has we'll been said to be reproach to
our system. No better disposition of
great wealth could be made, than for
their relief and comfort.
