WOMEN OF CANTON
SALUTE M'KINLEY
Bi. Reception Glveo at the Home of the
Candidate,
AN ADDRESS BY MRS. ALICE JONES
Glowing Tribute to the Personal
Character of the Next President.
Shouters from Norwnlk Destroy the
LawnUther News of the Cam
paign. Canton. June 26. Charles Emory
Smith left at 4 o'clock for Cleveland,
partly to escape the wretched Canton
hotels and partly to have a quiet talk
with Mark Hanna about organisation of
the executive committee. He will re
turn on Saturday and make one of the
principal speeches at the great ratifica
tion meeting In the afternoon.
The reception this afternoon by the
ladles of Canton to Major and Mrs. Mc
K I n ley and the venerable mother of Ma
jor McKlnley Indicates that the candi
date nominated at St. Louis appeals In
sonic way with great power to the sen
timent of the women of this community
for they came forth by the hundred and
by the thousand without regard to par
ty, or sec t or color, to do honor to Major
McKlnley and the two ladies. For
more than two hours an unbroken
stream of women, two and sometimes
three abreast, passed in at the front
doors of the spacious Miller residence,
thence to the receiving room and out
by a side door. There were women of
all ages and conditions. While the wo
men walked through the house the or
chestra, concealed behind a great bank
of ferns, palms and tlowers, played and
the movement of half a thousand
tongues did not wholly drown It. The
house was a bower of bUmm and ver
dure. The tlnwcrs and palms were
thickly studded with tin and electric
bulbs. The light of day was excluded
and the Incandescent burners blazed
forth amid the bloom and leaves, and
from the ceiling the spectacle was a
radiant one.
MKS. JONKS' ADDRESS.
The reception commenced with a
speech. !t wnir made by a Canton lady,
ills. Alice D. Jones. She stood In the
window of the reception room and spoke
to the sea of bobbing parasols on the
lawn. This was before the doors were
opened and assembling hosts of women
had to listen to the speech or go away.
None of them went, for the speech was
good, and Is destined to have wide cur
rency In the campaign. Among other
things, Mrs. Jones said.
"Fourteen years ago on the Sunday
following his nomination, James A.
Garfield walked Into the old home
church, berrlng on his arm his aged
mother, and on last Sabbath morning,
Into the church of hla early faith,
walked our future president and with
hlnv walked his mothei'. With home
anchorage such as this, we women have
no fears that under the coming admin
titration hearth fires will burn dimmer
or counting rooms be closed. Our men
may deal with questions of tariff and
finance and political policy; we women i
believe that the Importance of pure liv
ing is higher than this, and are satis
fied that should you be called to pre
side over the destinies of the nation we
shall have a man at the head with a
character so puru and a record so un
tarnished that any mother here today
would feel proud to know that the
stepping of their little boys might be
in lines parallel with this."
AN AFFECTING GROUP.
All the mothers with little boys felt
the future glow with hope when the
speaker uttered these words and they
applauded her vigorously when she fin
ished. Major McKlnley In a dozen
words thanked the ladles for their pres
ence And took his place with his wife
uml mother to receive the women of
his town. It was an affecting group.
Mrs. McKlnley and the major's aged
mother who Is an attractive old lady,
sat In large chairs on a clluz. There
were palms and tlowers around them.
Major McKlnley stood at the left of his
wife and made the Introductions. Hf
was deeply touched and visibly moved
by the character and the manifest sin
cerity of the Interest which the women
of his town showed In him and his fam
ily. He perhaps never received a more
emphatic und gratifying tribute of
neighborly, not to say sisterly, affec
tion in his life. On the wall back of
the receiving party, almost live feet
above Major McKlnley's head was a
large white crown, the outlines of which
were traced by 88 glowing electric
lights.
The reception today was the first for
mal expression on the part of the wo
men of the liking they have for Major
McKlnley and it was a very unique,
successful and significant function.
Thlsi evening a delegation of cheerful
shouters from Norwalk, some 300 in
number, culled upon Major McKlnley
and trampled the last spots of verdure
from hi beloved lawn. Major McKln
ley took much pride in his lawn and
counted It the most beautiful In Canton.
Tonight U la a wreck but he bears his
loss with becoming good humor.
In addressing the Norwalk Republi
can club, Major McKlnley made a
speech longer than any other he has de
livered since his nomination.
Among other things, he said: "No
man anywhere through the country
doubts where the Republican party
stands today. It stands for a re-united
country; it stands for the American
factory, the American farm, the Ameri
can fireside, for American labor and
American wages and American pros
perity throughout every part of our
much loved land. It stands for a pro
tective tarm tnat protects every
American Interest (loud applause); it
stands for a reciprocity that reel pro
cates that gets something for what we
give from the nations of the world. It
stands for the reciprocity of Blaine and
of Harrison, and of the great Republi
can party (loud applause), and It stands
now. It has always stood for sound
money (vociferous cheering) with
which to measure the exchanges of the
people; a dollar that Is not only good at
home, but good In every market place
of the world (cries of "bravo"), and
with these principles emblasoned on our
banner this year, 1896, we appeal to the
deliberate judgment of the American
people, and as Lincoln used to say,
'there la no safer tribunal in the world
than the American people,' and to that
tribunal we confide and submit our alma
and purposes this year."
HANNA AS MANAGES.
No Better Man Could Have Been Se
lected to Conduct Campaign.
Cleveland. Ohio. June 26 An inti
mate friend of Major McKlnley said
today: "The appointment of Mark
Hanna as campaign manager was
about the shrewdest political move Mc
Klnley has made In all his career. Han
na not only devoted his entire time to
the cause but he contributed freely to
ward its expense. A canvass existing
over several years Is an expensive un
dertaking and the money had to come
from somewhere.
"Mr. Hanna has said recently that the
canvass cost him $100,000. Of that
amount J3S.00O was contributed by
friends of McKlnley throughout the
country. As one Item of the expense,
It may be said that the cost of keeping
the friends of the cause posted on Its
progress was $2,500. It was done by
mailing 1.600 copies dally of one of the
local olllclal organs to the convention
delegates and leading Republicans In
all parts of the country. That was
done for several months and was but
a single feature of one of the most
perfect political organizations ever
made in a illttcal campaign."
YELLOW JACK IN CUBA.
Forty-one Case and Four Deaths at
Sagua La Grand Sanitary
Precautions Taken.
Washington. June i6. The most
alurmlng reports from Cuba with re
spect to yellow fever comes from Sagua
La Clrand, where, the marine hospital
service is advised by its lust report,
there are 41 cases and four dvathu. It
is expected thut within a very short
time the fever will become epidemic
and if It does not become virulent In
the city of Havana all previous ex
periences will be set aside. The depart
ment has, however, received no advices
to the effect that cholera has appeared
anywhere on the Island.
This summer special precautions will
be taken to prevent the Introduction
fiom Cuba Into the United States of
yellow fever. Each of the four revenue
cutters patrolling the Florida coast
carries sanitary inspectors to Intercept
fishing smacks and othet vessels com
ing direct from Cube with no intent
to enter legally any port of entry; and
also for the purpose of Intercepting any
returning filibustering expedition or
refugees seeking to land Kurreptiously
sanitary inspectors either huve been or
wlil be stationed permanently In Hav
ana and Santiago and such inspectors
will be sent to every seaport of Cuba
to report to the marine hospital service
of the prevalence of yellow fever. .
BALLINGTwTbOOTH'S RICNIC.
A Square Meul and Clothing for 3,000
of Chicago's Poor Cbildrru.
Chicago, June 26. t'nder the auspices
of the American Volunteers, a picnic of
enormous proportion l was given yester
day at Washington Park to tin.' city's
waifs. Three thousand urchins weie
thus enabled to get a glimpse of nature
and to partake of a good square meal.
It was a poor children's day, by the
grace of a proclamation by the mayor.
Big piles of hats and clothing furnished
by Chicago in.-rchants were distributed
among the children prior to taking the
trains for the park.
The transportation of so many young
folks won a problem with which Bal
llngton Booth and Colonel Fielding, the
territorial commander of the Volun
teers, wrestled for several hours. It re
quired twenty-eight coaches to accom
modate the crowd. At the park, hun
dreds of ball games were started. The
bands played concert music and the
boys nind girls rolled on the green
sward and dabbled In the water to their
hearts content. Lunch was th n served,
and the way that the Ice cream, cuke
and sandwiches disappeared kept the
waiters hustling. Remarks by Com
manders Booth and Fielding concluded
the day's programme. ,

Programme of Next Week's Confederate
Jollification in Richmond.
FINE MONUMENT TO JEFF DAVIS
Its Corner Stone to Bo Laid with
Ureal Ceremony in the Former
Capital of the ConfederncyOlner
Prospective Exercises of a Notable
Reunion.
Richmond, Va., June 24. During the
three days beginning with June 30 this
city will be filled with ex-confederates
and their friends to see laid the corner
stone of the Jefferson Davis monument.
At the same time will be held the sixth
annual reunion of the United Confed
erate Veterans. The reunion and lay
ing of the corner stone will bring to
gether the largest gathering In the
south since the war. The advisory com
mittee, of which General Peyton Wise
Is chairman, have been hard at work
for weeks preparing for the reception
and entertainment of the veterans, and
It Is estimated that not less than 100,
OoO people will attend the reunion.
Those will come from each of the
southern states, from some of the west
ern states and th? District of Columbia,
and not a few from the north and
northwest. There are in the organiza
tion known as the United Confederate
Veterans nearly 1.000 organized camps.
Many of these will come to the reunion
in a body. In addition to the veterans,
more than twenty camps of Sons of
Veterans will be here, and a large pro
portion of the members of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy, repre
senting each of the southern states,
besides thousands of prominent citi
zens from all over the south and south
west will Individually help to swell
the Immense gathering. Many mili
tary organizations will be quartered
here at that time. General Aionso L.
Phillips, commanding the First Bri
gade Virginia Volunteers, Is at the
head of the committee to receive and
quarter the military. Crack companies
of Infantry, cavalry and artillery ot
the south will be here to the number
of at least 20,000 to take part In the
ceremonies. Letters of Inquiry about
rates and quarters are pouring in upon
the committee from all parts of the
country, arid a conservative estimate
places the number of people who will
visit Richmond at that time at 90.000.
ENTERTAINMENT PROVIDED.
All of the committees are making pre
parations upon an extensive scale to
receive the visitors. The city council
has made an auproprlatlon of $22,000
to assist In the arrangements. Private
subscriptions vr. more than double
this amount. An immense auditorium
with seating capacity of 12,000 Is now
nearly complete at the exposition
grounds In the western limits of the
city. In this the business sessions of
the body will be held. The auditorium
will be elaborately decorated with con
federate flags, banners, shields and pic
tures of confederate generals and of
ficials. An Immense band will discourse
music from time to time during each
day.
In addition to the usual bustness.such
as proposed changes in the constitution,
the election of officers, appointment of
committees and selection of the next
place for meeting, a question of great
importance to several southern states
will be brought up for decision and final
action by the body. This Is the location
of the Charles Broadway Rouss Con
federate Memort.' museum. Mr. Rouss,
a wealthy merchant of New York, and
who was a soldier in the confederate
army, offered to give $100,000 for the es
tablishment of this Confederate me
morial museum, h the Confederate vet
erans would raise a similar amount to
be added to this donation. Already
nearly the entire amount has been
raised by the camps, and this, It Is
thought, will be greatly Increased.
At the last reunion the question of the
location of this museum came up, and
among the cities asking for It, were
NatJhvllle. New Orleans, Atlanta,
Charleston. 9. C, and Richmond. A
committee consisting of one member
from each southern state was appointed
at Houston to make a recommendation
to the United Confederate veterans.
This committee met at Atlanta, Ga.,
i last October, but failed to reach a deci
sion, They wlil hold several meetings
during the reunion here and are expect
ed to recommend one of the cities com
peting. The principal arguments used
In favor of Richmond are that she was
the capital of the Confederacy ,and that
there la already a large Confederate
museum here In the old Jefferson Davis
mansion (formerly the white house of
the Confederacy) with relics to the value
of 8100,000. It would make a fine nu
cleus around which to establish the pro
posed battle abbey of the south. The
funds for the establishment of this
great museum will reach somethjng like
iL'SV.O'JU oeiore tne structure will be
erected.
TABLEAU OF SOUTHERN BEAUTY.
Another Important question will be
the recoinmedatlon of a history of the
United States to be used by the public
schools of the south. With the histories
In use there has been great dissatis
faction upon the grounds that they
are not accurate and are prejudiced by
sectional spirit. The committee ap
pointed for this purpose Is expected
to recommend to the general body the
adoption of a history. which gives more
glory to the Confederate soldier ard
leans mere toward the south's vlifw of
the late war.
Ther will be many interesting feat
ures of the reunion. Cie of these will
be the tableaux of southern girls who
will act as sponsors for their respective
states. Tfcvse youngf ladles have been
eetectfcd by the several state command
ers of the veterans on account of their
social distinction, their personal beauty
or by reason of gallant services rendered
by their fathers In the civil war. Some
of the young ladies are recognized belles
of the south. The sponsors will be en
tertained here by the Daughters of the
Confederacy, and will be given a recep
tion which will be ab rllllant social
function, bringing: together the beaut .
fashion and wit of the state and many
distinguished people of the south.
Another Interning feature of the re
union will be the mammoth chorus of
1,000 trained voices, under an efficient
director, who will crowd Into an evening
at tm.py Confederate onr and south
ern plantation melodies as possible.
"Dixie." "I'm a Good Old Rebel."
"When This Cruel War Is Over," and
other songs that "Johnny Reb" loved
to hum while, treading the picket lines,
will be heard on the slope of the cap! to!
square, beneath the shadow of the old
Confederate statehouse.
A striking feature of the reunion
will be the gathering of Moeby's fam
ous rangers, followed by an elaborate
banquet at night Among the speak
ers who will respond to toasts on this
occasion will be John C. Ropes, a well
known historian of Boston, Mass., and
Major W. H. Forbes of the United
States army, an ex-federal soldier who
was raptured by Mosby's men at the
battle of A Idle.
LAYING THE CORNER STONE.
The crowning feature of the reunion
will be the laying of the corner stone of
the Jefferson Davis monument. The
ceremonies Incident to this will be con
ducted by the Grand lodge of Masons
of Virginia. General John B. Gordon,
who Is comma nder-ln-chlef of the
United Confederate Veterans, will be
chief marshal of the parade, which
takes place at S o'clock, and is expect
ed to be the grandest ever seen in the
south. General Gordon's chief of staff
will be Adjutant General George Moor
man of the United Confederate Veter
ans. General Stephen D. Lee, com
mander department east of the Missis
sippi United Confederate Veterans, will
be the orator of the occasion, and
Bishop John C. Gronberry of the Meth
odist Episcopal church of Virginia, will
offer the prayer.
Mrs. Jefferson Davis and Miss Vartna
Davis, familiarly known aa the "daugh
ter of the confederacy," will be pres
ent as the guests of the Jefferson Davis
Monument association. It Is expected
that there will be about 70,000 people In
the parade. The committee on design
offered $1,000 for th best design, 1800
for the second and $200 for the third.
Many weU-known architects submitted
designs and the monument will be th
largest and handsomest ever erected by
southern people. Already a large
amount has been raised, and It Is ex
pected that the monument will coat
about $200,000. It will be plaotd in the
center of Monroe park, on of the moat
beautiful spots In a fashionable quarter
of the city. Th site was donated by
tne ony council of Richmond.
MISSIONARIES ESCAPED.

Kidnaping Infants.
London, July 18. The Dally News
has a letter from Canton, China, this
morning, giving aa aocouat of the at
tack upon the American mission at Kl-ang-Yln
on May IS last, aa was report
ed at the time by the Associated Press.
Th Dally News correspondent says
that a crowd gathered on account of
th slander which had been disseminat
ed that the missionaries were kidnap
ing infants. "Sure enough," th letter
continues, "the body of a child was
found beneath some dried leave in th
garden,
"Th Mandarin refused to protest
the mission, and as th crowd was
armed with poles, knives and sickles.
the missionaries would certainly have
been killed, If they had not escaped Over
a wall to th fort on a hill nearby."

Alabama Senator Dissasies Biraotal
IsmCountry Should Nt Wait.
Washington. June M. Senator John
T. Morgan, of Alabama, baa addressed
an open letter on th silver question to
William C. Whitney la response to th
latter' communication of June $1. Af
ter saying that Mr. Whitney's letter Is
entitled to th slneer respect whloh it
receives from th whole people," Mr,
Morgan discusses the question of an in
ternational agreement, and says:
It seems to be a very vague and dis
tant hope that Great Britain will ever
yield to Buropean or American states
a real participation In her financial pol
ler by treaty agreement. -
Th senator assumes that no Amert
can statesman can present mtsb a plan
a our government will VW eonsent to
adopt, or can agree to under th cotieti
tutlon, and makes th friendly chal
lng to Mr. Whitney to state the plan
"which you would advise the Democ
racy to accept aa a basts, at least for an
international agreement."
Th senator concludes aa follow-: "As
you seem to agree with th Democracy
of the south and west tnat silver should
be fully remonetlsed, I respectfully sub
mit it to your oaaosd judgment whether
this restoration of therlit of our peo
ple Is not more justly to be expected
from the action and power of our own
government that has never fatted in
sue aa effort, tluui from Oreait Britain
or any combination of Buropean po '
era, who will do nothing of th kind, ex-
ceptSttpon th Inducemeat of some selflah
motive."
