the five Filipino gentlemen who came
to the city yesterday to visit the
tomb of William Mckinley and pay
their respects to Mrs. Mckinley One
of the party, Senior Ortega, was taken
i'll in Cleveland and did not come to
Canton.
These gentlemen are members OF the
Filipino commission of AZ that has
charge of the Island exhibits at the
worlds fair, and prior to going to St
Louis they have been making a tour
of the country to learn something OF
its magnitude and customs, SO that
they can return home with an intelli-
gent idea of the nation that has estah-
lished a protectorate over their own
land
In appearance the men, with one ex-
ception, resemble the Mongolian race
The exception is Leoncio Liquete. who
was rather tall and slim, and to all
appearances was as his name indicat-
ed, of French extraction. All were
intelligent looking and prominent in
their own country. Two only could
talk English with any degree of ac-
curacy, although all could speak lit
tie. They seemed pleased with their
reception and voted Canton nice city.
When they arrived over the Valley
road shortly after 1 o'clock they were
met by delegation of citizens in au-
tomobiles. Mayor Smith was the head
of the delegation. The others of the
party were Judges William r. Day,
T. T. McCarty and Ralph S. Amber,
William A. Lynch, George B. Frease,
Lieut.. Ferguson. Lieut.. Leo Dame

w. l.. Day, George H. Leggett, Major
Frank Baird, Denver C. Hughes, Har-
vey H. Miller, John Buchanan and
Fred S. Hartzell
The party was taken to the McKin-
ley hotel where a nice luncheon was
served, during the discussion OF which
the Filipinos talked freely of their
impressions of America, or Status
Unitus," as they called 1t.
Leoncio G. iquete is editor of one
OF the leading papers of Manila. He
spoke English, French, Spanish and
several of the native dialects. Juan

Auditor M. w. Oberlin the school
enumeration of the institution. There
are 55 white boys and AZ girls above
the age of six years, and four colored
lads, making total of 101 This does
not include any below six years.

could express Both these gentlemen
expressed great pleasure when they
met Judge Ralph S. Amber, as they
were personally acquainted with Judge
Byron s. Amber, his brother, who
has been upon the bench in Manila
for some time They stated that Judge
Amber was very popular jurist on
the island and that the people there
very much regretted that he was COM
ing back to this country. Mr. Sumul-
ung stated to Morning News repre-
sentative that he had tried many cases
before Judge Amber and had assisted
him some in learning or translating
some of the languages and dialects.
In cases there witnesses will give tes-
timony in several languages, much to
the confusion of one who is not ac-
quaiuted with all the languages spok-
en-. Each native tribe has It's own dia-
lect.
The Filipinos learned to regard Pres
ident Mckinley very highly during the
early days of reconstruction and occu-
patton and there was general regret
at his death, as it was felt by the
more intelligent people over there that
he was their friend. For this reason
these members of the commission
wanted to go back and say to the peo-
pie that they had been to Canton and
seen the tomb and widow of the mar
tyred president.
All three of the army officers who
were in the escort party had seen SER
vice in the Philippines and were able
to converse with the visitors in their
native tongue, thus relieving the
guests of any embarrassment.
After luncheon the party was escort
ed to the Mckinley home where they
were each presented to Mrs. Mckinley,
who greeted them kindly. From there
they went to the-eemetery and placed
floral tribute upon the bier of the
dead president 1t was rather an inn
pressive scene, as these new wards OF
the government stood beside the tomb
and expressed their regard for the
dead American.
During the afternoon heavy rain
storm prevailed and the automobiles
were discarded and the party went in
ciosed carriages.
The party took the $40 train back
to Cleveland, from where they go to
Detroit today. They are due at St.
Louis on July 6.

Of the city in dying condition. His
face had been crushed in and his skull
fractured, evidently by blows from a
beer bottle. He died ON the way to
the hospital, without giving any in
formation as to how he was injured.
The circumstances indicate. however,
that he was brutally oeaten to death
by gang of thugs. That such a

seeing it on populous street is a
mystery. The police have no clue to
his assailants.

Marcus Libberman (or Silverman

he Stimulates suffering in order to get
