Tine Movements '
The primary essentials of any
Match must be Its iiuallties as a

necessarily depends on the works
If these are right, then, you are
bound to huve a good watch. All
the movements in the watches to

Kins and Walthams, and these, as
you know, are the siandaids of
America, If not uf the civilized
world. They nre full jeweled
throughout the escapements; are
stem winders and stem setters;

warranted by the makers. Who
would ask a better guarantee than
this? The truth Is. It Is Impossible
to llnd u better.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

GOVERNOR'S VETO.
When the house met tonight Governor
Hastings sent in the following veto
message:
I herewith return without my approval
concurrent resolution bearing duto Keli.
21'. IW7.
The resolution provides, first, that all
materials of every kind and character
used hi the construction of the proposed
capltol building or buildings shall bo of
1'ennsylvaida product, whether natural
or manufactured; and secondly, thut all
architects, contractors and laborers em
ployed, whether skilled or unskilled, in
and about the erection and construction
of tho proposed new capltol building or
buildings shall be citizens of Peimsylvn
nlt. I am unable to concur either In tho pur
pose or spirit of this resolution. To for
bid by luw the citizens of other states
competing with the citizens of our own
statu Is unfair to both. Pennsylvania Is
perhaps more richly endowed by nature
thun any other statu with thu materials
that would necessarily enter Into the
construction of our capltol buildings. The
development of our native wealth and
energies has given us numberless arti
sans, skilled In every branch of human
employment. The products of our mines
and factories llnd a' market hi every
state In the union, thus giving Increased
and Increasing employment to the labor
and capital of our people. It would
therefore seem to mo to be most unwise,
from u strictly business standpoint, to
exclude the citizens of other states from
competing with our own people for opr
publlo work, when It Is so manifestly to
our Interest that the citizens of Penn
sylvania should be permitted to compete
freely for the work, both public and pri
vate, of other states. If we draw a lino
around our borders, forbidding the citi
zens of other states to come into compe
tition with our laborers, skilled and un
skilled, and halt ut our gates the stone,
tho Iron und other materials entering Into
tho construction of our publlo buildings,
other states may do likewise and the re
sult would work greuter injury to our
selves than to them.
Hut, apart from and above our own
business Interests me resolution Is sec
tional and un-Anierlcuu in spirit. A na
tion may and often does, by government
al regulations und stututes, grant privi
leges to its own cltlzeiiB pot 11. lowed to
citizens of other nations, but purls of the
same nation ought not to be permitted
to dlserlinlnutc agulnst each other. No
American citizen can bo an alien In any
stato 111 tho union, tie Is u citizen of tho
nation und thu spirit of our government
and Its law does not favor legislation giv
ing the people of any one stato exclusive
rights and privileges because they are
citizens of such state, and no principle
has been more clearly established than
this, nor at greater costs. These rights
of all American citizens were guaranteed
to them by the constitution of the United
States In the provision that the citizens
of each state shall be entitled to all privi
leges and Immunities of citizens In the
severul states.

SPEECHES ON THE VETO.

lution providing for Pennsylvania arch
itects and materials for the new capltol
was read, Messrs, Williams, Hedt'ord;
Foclit, Union, and McGlaln, Lancaster,
made speeches against the veto. Mr.
Hllss said he rather coincided with the
views of the governor, but the resolu
tion in any case would mean nothing
more than an expression of opinion.
After some further discussion Hie con
sideration of the governor's veto, on
motion of Mr. Vporhees, was postponed
for the present. .-. .
Mr. 'Stewart, Philadelphia, .moved to
recommit to the committee an health

certified to by the authorities churged
with the control of the diseases of do
mestic animals in the state whence the
cattle came, certifying that they have
been examined and subjected to the
tuberculosis test and are free from dis
ease. It also gives the state live stock
sanitary board power to prohibit the
importation of domestic animals when
ever in their judgment such- measures
may be necessary for the proper pro
tection of the health of the domestic
animals of the commonwealth.
After clearing the calendar of bills
on first reading the house adjourned

Canton, O., Mnreh 1. The. president
elect left Cunton at 7 o'clock this even
ing, thousands ot his fellow citizens
bidding him adjeu, in showers of (Ire
works and illumliiunts to the iiccom
panlinent of hearty cheers. The citi
zens, together with business men, had
arranged for a public demonstration to
bid farewell to their beloved and hon
ored citizen and neighbor. The local,
mllltla joined in the demonstration niftl
at Clio headed by the famous (lyilnd
Army band, marched to the McKlnley
home. As they countermarched, Major
McKlnley, escorting the coming first
lady of the land, appeared at his front
door. Their uppearanee wus the signal
for cheers and right heartily were they
given. As they walked from the fa
mous front porch tn,the coach in wall
ing, there was a frantic effort to obtain
a shake of Major McKlnley's hand.
This was Impossible, as the programme
admitted of not a liniment's delay.
Major McKlnley paused but a few sec
onds ere he entered the cab, to ralst his
hat to the thousands of people, men,
women and children, congregated there.
Tills was the signal for another out
burst of applause. Major McKlnley
then assisted Mrs. McKlnley's maid
into the cab, following her a second
later and the ride to the depot ivnS be
gun. All along the route, ubout a mile,
the streets were Jammed with people,
hundreds coining from towns adjacent
to Canton to bid the -Major good-bye.
Cheer after cheer was given them and
many women were seen to weep an the
president-elect's carriage, drawn by
four richly caparisoned white horses
passed along. Major McKlnley low
ered the window in the cab as he left
the house and from the opening waved
his hat and Mrs. McKlnley her hand
kerchief to the surging, shouting mul
titude. The space about the station
was packed for squares by people who
struggled Ineffectually to get near the
train which was guarded by the com
panies of militia. As the president
elect and Mrs. McKlnley stepped upon
the rear platform of their car the
shouts and cheers of the people again
arose. Major McKlnley seated his wife
Just Inside the door and stepped upon
the platform.
MAJOR M'KINLEVS REMARKS.,
The cheering was repeated, but quick
ly ceased us the president-elect raised
his hand. His words were:
My Neighbors and Friends and Fellow
Citizens: On the eve of departure to the
seat of government, soon to lissome the
duties of an arduous responsibility, as
great as can devolve upon any man,
nothing could give me greater pleasure
than tills farewell greeting, tills evidence
of your fileiidsblp and sympathy; your
good will, and I am sure the prayers of
all the people with whom I have lived so
long and whose confidence and esteem are
dearer to me than any other eaithly hon
ors. To all of us the future is a sealed
book; but, if I can by otllclal act or ad
ministration, or utterance In uny degree
add to the prosperity of our beloved
country, und the comfort and well being
of our splendid citizenship, I will devolo
the best and most unselllsh efforts of
my life. (Loud, continuous applause and
cries of "We know you will, major.")
The assumption of the chief magistracy
Is of such grave Importance that parti
sanship cannot blind the Judgment or ac
cept any other considerations but for
the public good of all to every party and
ever section. With this thought upper
most In my mind, 1 reluctantly take leave
uf my friends and my neighbors, eherlsli
Ing In my heart the sweetest memories
and the tenderest thoughts of my old
lioniu thu home now and I trust my
homo hereafter, so long as I live. (Tre
mendous applause.) I thank you and bid
you all good-bye. (Another round of ap
plause.) When he concluded there was n fran
tic effort to reach Major McKlnley but
the truln was signalled to start. As It
moved out of the station the rain
which had been threatened all even
ing began to fall a fitting benediction
to the farewell scenes which had just
been ended.
Major .McKlnley's hist day In Canton
was a busy one. There were a thous
and things to look after, and good byes
to be spoken to hnlf a hundred friends
and neighbors. Dr. Phillips, the fam
ily physician, was an early caller and
gave the president-elect a clean bill of
health. Mrs, McKlnley is in fairly good
health, but leaves her Canton home
with reluctance.

and "God bless you," when they caught
a glimpse of the well known face and

Wllkes-Rarre, Pa., March .1 Shortly
after 5 o'clock this afternoon the resi
dents of Wyoming, six miles northeast
of tills city, were startled by a report
.which, resembled an earthquake.
Houses were shaken on their founda
tion and In the excitement people ran
out into the street when It was discov
ered that the surface over the Mount
Lookout mine, operated by Simpson &
Watklns, was, cavlnir in. When the
Clash came the postolllee building on
one of the main streets of the town was
the first to go down. It sank a distance
of 2."i feet and Is a complete wreck.
It was with dilliculty that the malls
were removed to a place of safety.
John Deibyshlres house adjoining. Is
also a wreck, the foundation being car
ried down fully 20 feet, the Inmates
having a narrow escape with their lives.
There are at least a dozen other houses
tonight that are In imminent danger of
being wrecked.
At the time the cave took place there
were many miners In the pit who had
to wade through water and quicksand
up to their necks In order to escape
with their lives. There are 'i mules In
the mine and there Is little or no hope
