CANTON, O., Jan. 2S. President
Roosevelt Inst night participated in u
notable tribute to the memory of the
late President McKluley. lie was the
principal orator at a banciict given
under the auspices of the Canton P.e
publtcnti 1'iigue In commemoration of
the blrthd iy of McKinley. Surround
ed by friends, neighbors and business
and political associates of the dead
president, he pronounced n brilliant
and eloquent eulogy upon the life and
works of .McKluley, n eulogy by ninny
regarded as the most beautiful and
hartfelt tribute ever paid to the mem
ory of the distinguished dead.
Among the 457 guests assembled
bout the boards were some of the
Biost distinguislfed men in the civil,
public and political life of the country.
Among those seated nt the speakers'
table besides President Roosevelt were
Judge William II. Hay, who acted as
tORstmnster; Secretary Uoot. Secretary
Cortclyou. General S. B. M. Young,
General Leonard Wood, General Luke
E. Wright, vice governor of the Phil-if-plncs,
mid Surgeon General Itixey.
President Roosevelt said In part:
Mr. Toastmaster and Gentlemen
ThrouRhout our history, and indeed
throughout history generally, it has been
given to only a very few tnrlco favored
men to take 10 mnrked a lead in the
crises faced by their several genoratlons
tbat thereafter each (Hands as the embod
iment of the triumphant effort of his fen
eration. President McKinley was one ot
these men.
If during the lifetime of a generation no
crisis occurs sufficient to call out in
marked manner the energies " the stron
gest lender, then of course the world does
net and cannot know of the existence of
sacb a leader, and In consequence thera
ara long periods In the history of every
nation during which no man appears who
laaves an indelible mark in history.
It was friven to President McKinley to
take the foremost place in our political
life at a time when our country waa
brought face to face with problems more
momentous than any whose solution we
have ever attempted save only in the
Revolution and in the civil war, and It
was under Ills leadership that the nation
solved these mlphty problems arisht.
Therefore he shall stand in the eyes of
history not merely as the first man of his
generation, but as among the greatest fig
ures in our national life, coming second
only to the men of the two great crises In
which the Union was founded and pre
served. President McKinley's rise to greatness
had in It nothing of the sudden, nothing
of the unexpected or seemingly accidental.
Throughout his long term of service In
eengress there was a steady Increase
alike in his power of leadership and In
the recognition of that power both by his
associaies in public life and by the pub
He itself. Session after session his Influ
ence in the house grew greater; his party
antagonists grew to look upon him with
constantly increasing respect, his psrty
friend with constantly increasing fuith
and admiration. Klght years before he
was nominated for president he was al
ready considered a presidential possibili
ty. Four years before he was nominated
only hiB own high sense of honor prevent
ed his being made a formidable competitor
of the chief upon whom the choice of the
convention then actually fell. In he
was chosen because the great mass of his
party knew him and believed In him and
regarded him as symbolizing their ideals,
as representing their aspirations.
But even as a candidate President Mc
Kinley was far more than the candidate
nf a party, and as president he was In ttie
broadest and fullest seuse the president
of all the people of all sections of the
country.
His first nomination came to him be
cause of the qualities he had shown in
healthy and open political leadership, the
leadership which by word and deed Im-
presses itself as a virile force for good
upon the people at large ana wnicn nas
nothing in common with mere intrigue or
manipulation, but in 1896 the issue was
fairly joined, chletly upon a question
which as a party question was entirely
new, so that the old lines of political
cleavage were in large part abandoned.
All other issues sank in Importance when
, compared with the vital need of keeping
our itnuncini system on me nign anu
honorable plane imperatively demanded
by our position as a great civilized power.
As the champion of such a principle
President McKinley received the support
not only of his own party, but of hun
dreds of thousands of those to whom he
had been politically opposed. He tri
umphed, and he made good with scrupu
lous fidelity the promises upon which the
campaign was won.
The president then spoke of the un
' foreseen problems which President Mc
Kinley had to face brought about by
the Spanish-American war nnd the con
sequent acquisition of Porto Kico nnd
the Philippines and said:
A weaker and less farsighted man than
President McKinley would have shrunk
trom a task very difficult in itslf and
certain to furnish occasion for attack and
misrepresentation no less than for hnn
ost misunderstanding, but President Mc
Kinley never flinched. He refused to ;
consider the thought of abandoning our
luly in our new possessions. Again his
policy was amply vindicated. Peace has i
vome io tne islands, uigetner with a
greater measure of individual liberty and
self government than they have ever be
fore known. All the tasks set us as a re
sult of the war with Spain have so far
!een well and honorably accomplished,
ind as a result this nation stands higher
han ever before among the nations of
.aanklnd.
President McKinley's second campaign
was fought mainly on the Issue of ap
proving what he had done in his first ad
ministration and specifically what he had
Jone as regards these problems springing
nut of tne war with Spain. The result
was that the popular verdict In his favor
was mure overwhelming than it had been
ifet'ore.
No other president In our history has
seen high and honorable effort crowned
.vl in more conspicuous personul success.

D0BLIN A PERJURER.
St-nsntlonnI Testimony In the Less-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. Philip
Poblin repudiated nil of his testimony j
in the I,esslor bribery charges nt yes- ,
terday's hearing before the naval nf- J
fairs committee, lie swore that Qulgg
had never authorized him to offer Less- J
ler $3,000 for his vote on the Holland
boat bill and that nil his testimony on ;
that point given on Saturday was false. ,
His testimony was as unexpected as i
it was sensational. He said he made
the statements he did on Saturday to
substantiate Congressman Lessler's
chnrges. He declared that he knew
nothing of them until summoned to
Washington by Mr. Lessler, who told
him what he would be expected to say
before the subcommittee conducting
the preliminary investigation.
Lessler was much excited when he
heard Doblin'a refutation. "I would

said
Lessler. "I ennnot understand what
he means by his testimony today."
Quigg nnd his counsel, De Lancey

Lessler at Hoblin's aftlon.
CRAZY WOMEN CREMATED.
Fifty-two Patients In London Hos
pital l'erlsu.
LONDON, Jan. 28.-Fifty-two in
sane patients, all women, have been
burned to death by a fire at the Colney
Hatch asylum.
The fire occurred in the Jewish wing
of the institution. The flames spread
with great rapidity, and before they
could be got under control five wooden
buildings, including dormitories and
the doctors' apartments, were de
stroyed. Ail the efforts of the offlcinls were
directed to removing the insane iu
mntes, but the latter became wild with
excitement nnd so panic stricken that
not only were they unable to help
themselves, but greatly Impeded the
operations of those trying to save them.
There were nearly COO women in the
burned annex nt the time the fire was
discovered, nnd most of them were
safely transferred to the main build
ing, which was uninjured.
Some, however, escaped nnd nre still
at largo. '

the question of the construction and
improvement of the public highways
as now exists. When the first bill
making an appropriation for the Na
tional road from Cumberland, on the
Potomac, in Maryland, to Wheeling,
on the Ohio, was passed by congress
in 1S00, and when the first actual
work of construction began in 1811,
the matter of getting communication
between the Atlantic seaboard com
munities and the Ohio and Mississip
pi valleys was a subject of vital con
cern to the people of the Country.
The steamboat had not been invent
ed at the time when the first bill was
passed. In 1811, when the work of
building the road actually started.
the first steamboat west of the Al-
leghenies went down the Ohio and
started on its route between New Or
leans and Natchez. It was a dozen
years after that time, however, be
fore steamboats became in any way
numerous on eastern or western wa
ters. But the steamboat did not
meet the need of opening communi
cation between the east and west.
The mountains stood in the way, and
the railroads did not begin approach
ing the Alleghenies until about the
close of the first quarter of that
century. The National pike was ex
tended to the Ohio river, as contem
plated, and was then pushed across
Ohio and Indiunu to the Illinois line,
with sections of it built farther west.'
but in 1838, when railroad building
had proceeded far enough to absorb
the country's attention to the exclu
sion of the construction of turn
pikes, the appropriations for the Na
tional road stopped. The imperious
necessity of improving and extending
the present public highways and of
constructing others, as a matter of
national economy, is forcing itself on
the attention of the United Slates.

Not Felony to Steal Ooal
The grand jury of Wyoming county
last week decided that the theft of
coal at this time is not a felony. The
agent of the I). L. and W. railroad at
Nicholson, Pa., swore out a warrant
against Ulysses Grant Myers, of that
borough, charging him wiih the laiceny
j of coal from the company to the value
of twenty dollars. The grand jury '
weighed the mauter carefully and de
cided that it is not a felony to steal
