Cannon Now For Revision.

That Uncle Joe Cannon, who as
speaker of the house has been known
as the bulwark of stand-patism, would
run for the presidency as a tariff revi-
sionist was asserted at Chicago by his
close friend, Senator Hopkins, who Is
himself a candidate for reelection on
the same platform. He says that Can
non has admitted all along that some
schedules needed revision, but held
that none should be touched until the
whole list could be altered consistently.
This he thinks should be done after the
next Republican victory.
Monopoly Curber Passed.
With only six votes in the negative
the New York senate passed the long
contested measure designed by Gov
ernor Hughes to bride the big public
service corporations of the state. 1t
had been previously passed unanimous
ly by the assembly, and the few slight
changes made by the senate were con-
Cured In by the lower house. This
bill creates commissions to be appoint
ed by the governor to regulate the af-
fairs of corporations both in city and
state. In New York city the rapid
transit commission will be superseded
by one of the governors choosing. The
new commissioners will have vast au-
thority, their consent being necessary
to all changes in equipment, franchises,
stock issues, regulations as to labor,
schedules, rates, mergers, ETC. They
can order more cars or motive power
when needed, compel erection Of sid
lngs and fair dealing to all alike
Freight bulks must go without break
TO their destination, and no railroad
may have an advantage over any 9th
or in the transfer of through freight
Legal action brought by the commits
sion has precedence over all other cases
except election matters.

FIVE members each, one for the big city
and the other for the rest of the state

airy; counsel for each, $4,000, and sec
rotary, $4,000. Five years Is to be the
term of Office Each commission must
report annually TO the governor.

Caused Profound Sorrow.

News Of Mrs. MckInIey's Death
Caused Profound Sorrow.
Washington, May 27-While little
hope was entertained here for her re
covery, the news of the death of Mrs
Mckinley caused profound sorrow in
the national capital, where she so
long made her home while her hus
band was a member Of congress and
later president. President Roosevelt
learned of her death shortly after 2
O'Clock when ne received a TELEGRAM,
from Secretary Cortelyou, who has
been in Canton since Mrs. Mckinley
was first stricken. He Immediately
announced that he would leave for
Canton Tuesday night. to attend thu
funeral.
The kilograms announcing that
Mrs. Mckinley had passed away were
posted on bulletin boards here and
the news spread rapidly throughout
the city. Scores of kilograms Of
sympathy were sent to Mrs. McKin.
ley's sister, Mrs. Barber, by promi-
nent government officials, diplomats
and others who had known Mrs. Nc.
Klnley when she was the first lady
OF the land. President Roosevelt and
members of the cabinet sent words of
coincidence as soon as they learned of
her death.
Rev. DR.. Bristol, Mrs. McKinley's
pastor, who will be unable to attend
the funeral, in speaking of the death
Of Mrs. Mckinley in his sermon last
night, said:
"The death of Mrs. Mckinley will
touch very tender chord of feeling
and regret IN every American heart.
No woman has ever occupied warmer
place in the affection and veneration
OF our people. The unspeakable sor-
row of her life admitted her into the
the most holy places of the sanctu.
sry of nations sympathy. Her life,
associated with that of her illustrious
husband will sver be enshrined in the
most hallowch memory of her coun-
try"
After attending the funeral on Wed.
nesday, President Roosevelt will go
to Indianapolis, where he will deliver
an address on Decoration day at the
unwilling of the monument erected to
the memory Of Major-General Henry
W. Lawtor, who was killed in battle
In the Philippine islands. From Ind
iaDapolis he goes to Lansing, Mich,
where he will deliver an address en-
May 81, at the celebration of the
fiftieth anniversary of the founding
Of the Michigan Agricultural college,
which was the first institution OF its
kind established in the United States.
The president and his party will re-
turn to Washington next Saturday.

The officers of the Commercial Tele-
graph Union of America decided to ap-

various cities by abolishing high sala-

Fund to Fight Labor Unions.
During the annual convention Of the
National Association of Manufacturers
at New York 300 members were pres
ent and James w. Van Cleave of st.
Louis presided. Secretary Cushing
said they had fought successfully
against further legislation for the
eight hour day and against court in
functions. Treasurer Stillman said the
association now had an annual income
OF $1S0000. A committee of thirty
six was appointed to raise 100000 a
year for three years, the money to be
spent in educating the public as to the
right view to take in labor disputes.
A poll of the 300 members on tariff
revision showed about three to two in
favor of limited and reasonable re-
vision Immediately after the next presi-
dental election. President Van Cleave
came out for federal corporation law
for all enterprises engaged in inter-
state business.

Mutiny Scare In India.
All pretenton to proceeding under
ordinary forms of law disappeared in
the steps recently taken by the British
rulers of India to crush in it's incipi-
ency the widespread mutlny OF the ma
tives, whose leaders have been ruth
lessly banished or imprisoned. The
drastic action of the officials showed
the extent to which the movement had
progressed. At Lahore, where two ed-
tors of native papers were arrested for
seditious writings, crowds of people
formed to cheer the men as they were
taken through the streets to prison.

ropeans were in danger. All garrisons

tridges are served.

mala to terms for the murder of Gen
eral Barillas while under the protection
of the Mexican government.

cussion of the recent conspiracy

ton condemning terrorism was then
offered by the Constitutional Demo
Gratis and passed. Recently the police
raided the committee rooms of the
radical members of the douma, and
this caused great feeling. They say
that the stories of the conspiracy were
faxed in order to discredit the radicals
In the douma.
At LODI a party Of terrorists held

Important Labor Controversies.

The strike of the 10000 longshore-
men at New York city was continued
without serious disorder, and the strike
leader, Corners, said he was confident
1t would be only a matter of a few
days when the big ocean steamship
companies would have to surrender.
One fatality occurred In a saloon quar-
rel when detective shot wildly into a
throng of strikers and killed an limo
cent bystander. Some of the liners
were compelled to sail with only a
part of their usual cargo, and it was
asserted that the big Adriatic returned
with the same cargo she brought over
rather than break the schedule of her
sailing day. Sixteen of the stevedores
signed an increased wage scale and
took back 1000 men, which greatly ei.-
couraged the strikers.
's5-At Buffalo 1000 freight handlers quit
work on the docks, their demand being
for 20 cents an hour and recognition Of
their union. This virtually ties up lake
traffic at that port
The strike of section hands on the
New Haven road became general from
New York to Boston Monday, taking in
5000 employees. Their leaders failed
to gain an audience with the compa-
ny's engineer Of maintenance of way,
TO whom they wished to present their
demand for more wages.
The International Association of Ma
rhlnists has taken its stand squarely
FOR the eight hour work day. 1t is an

quarters are in London. The move

York locals OF the Amalgamated Asso-

the first home of their early married
life.
This wedding anniversary was the
beginning Of year and two months
of residence in Canton, during which
time Mr.. Mckinley was nominated
and elected president of the United
States.
At Washington, as the first lady OF
the land. she was unable to act as
hostess at brilliant social functions.
After the crushing blow which came
to her when the assassin's bullet
struck down her husband, friends de
SPARED of her life for months OF
more. However, she rallied, and for
several years enjoyed better health
than usual. She would not consent to
leave Canton.
Among her diversions was the Gro
chetting OF slippers which she bestow
ed as keepsakes to friends, handed to
needy or gave to bazaars. More than
$500 pairs of slippers were knitted by
her and given away. Mrs. Mckinley
was fond of flowers, the rose being
her favorite for many years. In re
cent years the presidents carIatior
shared a place In her admiration.
After President McKinley's death
she expressed desire to join him
end prayed day by day that she might
die. Later, however, she frequently
told friends she desired to live until
the completion of the Mckinley mo
soleum, which is the gift of the na
: ton. and which is to be dedicated or
