PRESIDENTIAL PARTY return
MRS. MK1NLEY STRONGER
Can Make the Journey safely-Im-
mense Crowds Gathered to See the
Party Depart-No Formal Cere-
monies at Depot.

San Francisco, May 26.-The pres
idential party, after a sojourn Of
nearly two weeks in this city, left for
Washington a few minutes after 10
o'clock this morning. The physicians
in attendance on Mrs. Mckinley held
their last consultation, and after they
had announced their decision that
Mrs. Mckinley was strong enough to
endure the transcontinental journey,
preparations for the departure were
rapidly made. Mrs. Mckinley seemed
elated at the prospect of soon being
at home. She was conveyed from the
Scott residence to the Oakland ferry
in closed carriage over circuitous
route, which was chosen so that the
invalid might pass over only smoothly
paved streets, the Earring basalt
blocks which are laid on many streets
being avoided. She was accompanied
by the president, DR.. Rixey and a
trained nurse. the rest of the party
proceeding to the starting point in a
more direct way.
An immense crowd had assembled
at the ferry depot of the Southern
Pacific, the wide expanse afforded by
the junction of Market and East
streets being a solid mass of human
ity, through which the police with dir.
ficulty kept open passageway for
the president and his party. Heads
were uncovered as the carriage in
which Mrs. Mckinley rode ap-
preached, and there was a visible eff
fort to refrain from an outburst of
applause as the vehicle, with drawn
curtains, drove slowly through the
throng. All respected the frail condi-
ton of the sufferer and enthusiasm
was suppressed.
There were no formal ceremonies at
the depot. Goodbyes were exchanged
by the president, cabinet members
and other members of the party with
the friends who had come to wish
them God speed, and the distinguished
travellers boarded the ferryboat Oak
land. which made special trip for
their accommodation. The carriage
containing Mrs. Mckinley was driven
onto the lower deck of the boat and
the curtains partly raised, so that she
might catch glimpse of the bay and
Golden Gate.
AS the steamer drew out of the slip
hats and handkerchiefs were waved,
and as it swung clear into the stream
the shipping craft in the harbor dipped
their colors in salute. Tumultuous
cheers then broke forth on shore and
were borne across the waters as San
Francisco's final farewell to President
Mckinley. his wife and the accom-
panying members of his official fam
lily.
At the Oakland mole, where the
train was in readiness. precautions
had been taken to prevent a crowd.
The Enclosure was carefully roped Off
Mrs. Mckinley was tenderly .helped
out Of the carriage by the president.
and when she had been made COM
Portable in her car he appeared upon
the platform and waved adieu to the
throngs beyond the ropes.
Colfax, Cal.-After leaving Sacra-
mento the presidents train assembled

ing the snowcovered peak OF Cape
Horn Just before dark. There were no
incidents of the trip during the after
noon. The train is due to reach Og-

Lowell, Mass, June 13.-The head
of the body of the woman found i'll n
Chelmsford wood lot on Sunday has
been discovered by two detectives I'M
der bridge near where the original
discovery was made. The head is that
of woman about 30 years of age,
with dark hair and sharp features. II
was In excellent state of preservation
and the coroner decided that decapita-
ton probably took place within five
days.
Later in the day the remains We're
identified as those of Mrs. Blondin of
Boston. The identification was made
by Mrs. Margaret Casey of Lawrence
sister Of Mrs. Blondin. The dead wo-
man married Mr.. Blondin, Il French
Canadian mill operative, last Febru-

Is at present.
Mrs. Blondin had been missing since

working in asmill there and their court
ship covered only few months. The

About two months ago Mrs. Dlondin
returned to Lawrence and visited her
sister for a. few days. 1t was slid
that she and her husband had sepa-
rated because Blondin wanted her to
accompany him on trip to Canada
and she declined to go.

Idea Is to Somehow Neutrnlize tho Votes
of the Negroes.
Havana, June 17.-Some of the dele
gates to the constitutional convention
are considering the ACCESSIBILITY Of
making an attempt to alter certain
clauses of the Cuban constitution. The
proposed changes are in regard to the
universal suffrage, the election of gov
ernors of provinces and the personal
responsibility of the secretaries of tho
president for all their acts. They pro-
pose to substitute for the first two re-
stricted suffrage, and the nomination
of governors Of provinces by central
power, and to abolish the third alto
gether.
Opinion is divided at present as to
the possibility of altering the consti-
tuition, which itself says that this can
only be done by the congress- In re-
gard to universal suffrage, the major
ity of the delegates at present seem to
be in favor of leaving this question
alone. Manuel Sanguilly says that
this will not make any difference, as
the local cliques are those that rule.
By having universal suffrage the peo-
pie will be content, but they will not
exercise any real power.
A Radical delegate to the convention
is quoted us saying: Better leave the
question alone, as ways can be found
to prevent tile negroes and other IL
literate portions of the population from
voting"

of dropping off the foot of that boot
shaped congressional territory. The
western part should take the heel, sole

and red leather top, both of which
might be made over into useful gar

But as the Third district, as trib-

called the .monkey wrench" district
perhaps the west would be willing to
