forced by 200 special deputies, 800 pO-
Hcemen and over 100 Pinkerton de-

shed and riOtous scenes of yesterday
viii be repeated with much greater
fatality. The results of yesterday
are: One man dying, fully 20 or 80 in
iured, so men out of $50 brought here
by the company induced to desert,
the trolley wires cut, cars demolished
and the police almost pOwerless to
control the thousands Of men patrol

ever, insists that it viii run its cars
with protection and it is said that
300 new nOn-union men are in train
near the city waiting for the troops
to make their entry safe. Eight men
have been arrested for rioting, two
only Of whom were strikers. At mid
night three companies of the Tenth
battalion took their stations at three

Compels Him to Cancel Proposed
Tour Of the West.
WILL REMAIN At IHVALlD's BEDSIDE.
As Soon a. Her Health Permits He WIN
Take Her to the National Capital by the
Most Direct Route, But he May Be Kept
In San Francisco Several Weeks by
Her sickness

San Francisco, May 15.-At ten
o'clock Wednesday morning Secretary
Cortelyou informed the Associated
press that Mrs. McKinley's serious
illness compels the president to abOn-
don his proposed visit to other states
to which he had looked forward with
so much pleasure. As soon as Mrs.
McKinley's health viii permit he will
return to Washington by the most di-
rect route.
Secretary Cortelyou also issued the
following bulletin as to Mrs. McKin-
Iey's condition: There has been but
little change in Mrs. AcKinley's con-
dition since last night. She has gained
in several respects and lost in others"
The president remained quietly at
Mrs. Scott's residence all day and did
not take part in any of the exercises
programmed for him.
It is learned that Mrs. McKinley's
condition is considered serious by the
physicians attending her. 1t is very
probable that if she RECEIVERS Mrs. Nc
Kinley will be unable to leave San
Francisco by next Monday when the
stay of the presidential party was to
have been terminated. The president
will remain here with Mrs. Mckinley.
President Mckinley did not go to
Berkeley to attend the commencement
exercises at the University of Califor-
MIA, but the members of the cabinet
and others of the presidential party
crossed the bay on the revenue tug
SIOcum. The guests were taken to the
university grounds and the exercises
of the day were observed with Secre-
tary Hay acting in the presidents
stead. The presidential party was en-
tentained at luncheon by President
Benjamin Ide Wheeler, of the Univer-
sity of California
The president is scheduled to leave
San Francisco on Monday next. It is
not unlikely that he may remain some
weeks. Until Mrs. Mckinley is fully
recovered from her illness, DR.. Rixey
directs that she be not disturbed. It
is said that the president will not go
east until his wife is able to accom-
pany him.
Secretary of the Navy Long may
leave the presidential party and depart
for the east at any moment. He has re
ceived word that his daughter, who
has been living in Colorado Springs
for over year for her health, is dan
gerously i'll.
