Twenty-nine thousand workers in

u VENTS make sport of the schemes
IL of mice and men. Mckinley en-.
tered the race for the presidency on
the tariff issue. was elected on the
money issue and the greatest
problems that confronted him In the
White House were the fate Of a chain
Of islands of the coast Of Asia and
the destiny Of China
Spain had been engaged for two
years In desOlating struggle to hold
In subsection the revolving island OF
Cuba, and two happenings pushed
Mckinley into the conflict In spite of
himself. In a private letter. the Span
ish minister at Washington scoffed at
the president as "politicastro"-
In plain American, "a peanut poll
tician"-and plainly intimated that
the fair promises which the Spaniards
were giving him were only a trick to
fool the administration and the Amer
lean people. Within week of that
exposure. the battleship Maine was
blown up In Havana harbor, with the
loss of 266 American lives.

VXYILLIAM MCKINLEY challenged
w and disproved the old saying
that the presidency casts Its shadow
on no man but once and that II the
chance be missed then 1t will never
come again. Twice the Republican
nomination seemed to be within Nc
kinley's reach-in the national con-
ventions OF 1888 and 1892. Each time
he put II away, content to wait his
proper turn, when he did not have to
shake the tree to bring down the
ripened fruit of his patience.
Mckinley was beaten for the speak
ership by Thomas b. Reed In 1889, and
he left Washington a defeated con-
gresham only six years before he re-
turned as president-elect. Had he
been speaker. and. instead OF Reed. in
Cured the title Of Gear" or had he
not been turned out Of congress
had he won those smaller honOrs ne
well might never have won the highest
honor. A disappointment manfully
borne enlists the popular sympathy,
and the author Of the Mckinley bill
entered the contest for the presiden-
tial nomination In 1895 as one who had
suffered martyrdom In the cause of
the protective tariff.

The conference at Downing Street
broke up at 20 minutes past 2 o'clock

One member OF the British cabinet,
on leaving the official residence Of
the prime minister, said the Universal
News Service:
Terms speeded to Craig.

ment has been reached.

Gated soon"
A train was kept in waiting from 8
o'clock in the evening with full steam
up, ready to rush the couirers who
would speed on their way to Belfast

A man-of-war was standing outside

member the Maine." the president
yielded. and war was declared. In
ten days Dewey had smashed the
enemy squadron In Manila bay: in ten
weeks another squadron was sunk
or captured OFF Santiago: in three
months and half poor old Spain
threw up the sponge.
1t took twice as long to make peace
as to make war. The Philippines
caused all the trouble. As we had not
captured the islands In the war. many
believed that We should let them
alone. But Mckinley decided to de-
mand from Spain the surrender Of
the Philippines.
Without waiting for ratification, the
president dispatched a military expe-
dition to take over the Philippines,
proclaiming to the revolving Fflipinos
the policy Of benevolent assimila-
ton" The resulting war dragged its
unpleasant length for two years be-
fore the Inhabitants unwillingly bowed
to their new master.
II was the strange fortune Of q
president whose entire public life had
been given exclusively to domestic
questions to plant the flag In the dis
tant Philippines and to send II to the
pink walls of the Forbidden City Of
China. In the march on Peking for the
rescue Of the forgein legations from
the siege Of the Boxers or Chinese
revolutionists, the United States Joined
other powers for the first time In q
military expedition.
Under the high statesmanship Of
John Hay. the secretary Of state. the
United States had already, before the
Boxer rebellion. laid a restraining hand
upon the nations that were footing
Chinese territory and had drawn from
them pledges to keep an "open door"
to trade In the ports they were sells
Ing at the point Of the gun. The
'open door" has remained ever since

II we will only continue to follow II
and should succeed In inducing others
to follow 1t q while longer. until the
giant Of the Orient awakens from his
long slumber and shakes on his for
eign despoilers, an emancipated China

FOWLS KILLED,
THREATENS MAN
Christian Rooster Fined for Gun
Play Against NeighbOr Whose
Dog Killed Chickens.

Christian H. Rooster, 628 Second
street, was arrested at his home at
5 o'clock yesterday afternoon by
Officers William Epperson and
Dave De Smet on the charge of dis
orderly conduct preferred by Levin
Jus De Brackelere, 705 Second
street.
Rooster is claimed to have gone
to De Brackelere's residence to en-
ter a complaint over his chickens
being killed by dog owned by DE
Brackelere. An argument arose
and it is claimed that Mrs. De
Brackelere stopped a shooting at
fray by stepping between her hus-
band and Rooster. Other persons
are then said to have taken a hand
and to have prevailed upon Rooster
&c leave the house.
Arraigned before Magistrate D. ].
Cleland in police court this morn
ing, Rooster was charged with dis
orderly conduct and was fined SO
which he paid.
Rooster claimed that the dog
owned by De Brackelere had killed
several of his chickens and Magis-
trate Cleland ordered Brackelere to
pay Rooster for the fowls and also
TO get rid of his dog. However,
the magistrate warned Rooster
against carrying weapons and
threatening people.
