published there that an officer of the

His majesty was not hit, the despatch

sassinate his majesty by firing at him,

CONDITION GREATLY IMPROVED
President and Mrs Mckinley Will Go
 From San Francisco to Canton.

From San Francisco to Canton.
 San Francisco May 20.-At an early hour to-day no change has been re ported in the condition of Mrs Mckin- ley, although her condition has great ly improved The physicians have named q week or ten days as the short cts possible time in which she can gathc~,strength to make the trip across the coIAtinent TSe immediate mem bers of the p.S antial party will therefore rems,S Sss here for that length of time, though it is probable that the others will leave for the east during the present. week. The president and Mrs Mckinley will go direct from San Francisco to Canton. At Mrs McKin- ley's old home, surrounded by familiar faces and with every comfort, 1t is said that her recuperation will be more rapid than if she went to Washington. President Mckinley will probably go on to Washington, returning to Canton as soon as the more pressing public business has been disposed of.
 President and Mrs Mckinley will oc cupy a different car from that which brought them to this coast, but one Of the same kind and fully as luxurious. The train will go east by the Ogden route.
 No stops of any length will be made, at Sacramento or elsewhere en route. The president will not leave the train though he may speak briefly from the rear platform at one or two important Ncities.
 The president expressed the hope yesterday that nothing would prevent him from reviewing the school chil- dren of San Francisco to-day.
 Secretary and Mrs Hay expect to leave immediately for Washington Postmaster General Smith and Secre- tary Hitchcock and Secretary Wilson will remain with the president. Seere- tary Long, who left yesterday for Col orado Springs, will proceed to Wash ington as soon as possible

OXFORD OFFICIAL
Thinks It is Counting Defeat to Meet
 Harvard and Yale First.


 Harvard and Yale First K London, May 20.-According to pri- yate cable dispatches from New York, the proposal of the English university authorities to hold an athletic meeting at Montreal before they meet the Americans in New York is opposed by Harvard and Yale, whose athletes want their meeting with the Oxford Cambridge team to occur first. In reference to this prominent Oxford official said:
 Oxford and Cambridge are not in the least likely to give way on this point. Quite apart from the proba bill ity that Toronto and McGill may prove a weaker combination than Harvard and Yale and therefore Oxford and Cambridge would naturally prefer, in their semi-trained stage. to compete with the less formidable opponents first, the Oxford and Cambridge men would be perfectly Justified in protect ing their own interests before anything else. We. are receiving a continuous stream of advice not to court certain defeat by doing the bulk of our prepar- ation in the vicinity of New York dur ing the intense heat of August and most of September. Therefore we are seeking more fnvigorating quarters in Canada, will complete our training there and will visit New York at the latest moment to September 2S. if the Canadian sports are fixed for Septem- Der 14 as proposed.

DEDICATION DAY.
Holiday Crowds Were Astir Early at
 the Exposition.

the Exposition.
 Buffalo, N. Y, May 20.-Lowering clouds that carried dark threats of rain and wind that blew in fitful gusts marked the opening hours of Dedica- ton day The holiday crowds were astir early and the earlier trains brought thousands of recruits to their ranks. The exposition grounds and the business districts of the city where the military and civic parade formed were the centers that attracted the largest numbers. Thousands of yards of bunting futtered in every street and few in the throngs failed to display some insignia or souvenir of the fair. In a spirit of patriotism the American flag has been made the chief played everywhere. Next to that the exposition flag which takes color and design from all the Pan-American ban nerS added an attractive feature to the decorative scheme. The exposition grounds were opened at o'clock. The temple of music where the formal ex- ercises of the day were held was the center of attraction although every part of the Rainbow city had it's ad- miring crowds
 The military parade formed at the city hall and the foreign and state commissioners and distinguished visi- tors were received at the main en- trance to the municipal building. They were welcomed by representatives of the exposition commission and later escorted to their carriages. The sun broke through the clouds at 9:3O with q half-hearted promise of bright day.

derstanding with their help on this basis and everything in that line is moving along without hitch. Why cant tfe manufacturers and the tocl- makers and machinisss do likewise?
 It would be hard to find a more in teii:gcnt appearing body of men than tic toolmakers and 1nachinists of Wa teEi Lly who are l.oM out on strike fer a nine hour day. Perhaps the same thing ;nlght be said cf the men who re- mained at their benches. but it is the fe!lows that have fa:ed the musi: and ara cut We are talking about. 1h.y collected in groups about the center to- day and talked of the probable out come of the struggle in a calm, but dispassionate way which showed that they had not made leap in the dark, but gave the subject full consideration before leaving their benches. Some of them have never been seen on the streets before on working day and in consequence to many their faces are new and if one did not know what was going on he would think that a convention was being held by some state organization and that the men on the streets were the bright, brainy fellows selected to attend the session and were doing a little sightseeing during a recess. It is. hoped that the difference between these men and their employers will be adjusted in q few days, for it is safe to say that none of them wants to be idle and it is equally true that the concerns where they have been employed are very much in need of their services and would hardly think of dispensing with them alto oetber and run their chances of getting others to take their places

 Busy in the Rigging.

Bristol, R. T., May 20 Although tho rain, which for two days had prevented the Constitution from taking her trial sail, ceased soon after a. n., to-day, it was cloudy and disagreeable and the yacht remained at her moorings all the forenoon. MT Duncan and the Heres hoffs are waiting patiently for clean weather The delay was improved by the Herreshoff workmen in making some minor changes in the topmasE spreaders, while the Constitution S crew were busy over the rigging.
 By noon the weather showed signs of clearing but the wind was blowing from the northeast very strong and there was quite a sea in Narrag gansett bay.
 MT Duncan said to-day that he would remain here until the boat could go out on her initial spin.
