stop of a few hours at least. will be
made at Austin to enable the President
to view the magnificent capitol building.
the largest in the world special invi-
tation has been extended TO him by the
citizens of that city. 1t is thought probable
that a meeting between President McKin-
ley ana EleSlueui i'laZ, bI h'Nl'b. WIN
be arranged for at El Paso.
The President will probably spend at
least ten days in California, the greater
portion of the time in san Francisco,
where the battlcship Ohio is To be
launched on May Is He viii stop en
route for a day or two at Los Angeles,
where elaborate preparations are being
made for his reception, including a very
artistic decoration of the city IN his
honor He will also spend a day or two
in the Yosemite Valley.
After leaving San Francisco the party
viii pass through Oregon and Washing
ton. stopping at several OF the more inn
portant cities for short time.
The route home has not Yet been
definitely decided upon, but il is thought
that the party will spend couple OF
days in Yellowstone Park, and then pro
ceed TO Duluth, with several stops at in
termediate points. At Duluth the party
may take one of the fast steamers to Buff
fa}o for the purpose of visiting the expo
Sition The complete itinerary has not yet
been definitely decided upon. but this
route is considered highly probable. The
President intends visiting the Pan-Amer-
ican Exposition. and he viii doubtless
take this opportunity of doing so.
From Buffalo he will return TO Wash
ington for a few days. and then leave fOt
New England where he viii be present
at the commencement exercises at Har-
ward on June 26. 4 special invitation has
been extended to him through Senator
IIoar, and he has accepted He VIII also
visit several other places in New Eng
land.
Thus I'm about two months time the
President will have made a complete cir
cult Of the country from ocean TO ocean,
and have visited about four-hfths OF the
States of the Union.
All of the members Of the Cabinet viii
accompany Mr. Mckinley upon his West
ern trip, as viii also Secretary Cortelyou
and a working force Of clerks in order
10 enable the officials Of the Government
10 transact their duties while away from
Washington. one car of the special train
viii be devoted exclusively to Office pur-
poses. and viii be fitted up with all pos
siblc conVeuiences.
The President is looking forward to a
very pleasant trip. Mrs. Mckinley's
health is better now than il has been for
some time. and there is little doubt but
that she well be able to stand the iOur-
ney without any difficulty. DR.. Rixey viii
accompany the party.
