MORE TROOPS WILL GO
GOVERJTMEXT PREPARING TO DIS
PATCH. AN ADDITIONAL FORCE.
Consul-General Goodnow, at Shang
hai, Again Report That the
Trouble la Spreading-.
WASHINGTON. July 6. The State De
partment Is waiting: with almost an
agony of expectation for news from Pe
kln, but none comes. Secretary Root was
In conference with Secretary Hay this
morning, and It was admitted that al
though no more troops have been ordered
directly to China, yet great activity has
been decided upon In the matter of dis
patching additional troops from this coun
try to Nagasaki, where they will be In
readiness for either Chinese or Philip
pine service.
A dispatch has been received at the
State Department from Consul-General
Goodnow at Shanghai, dated July 5, In
which he says the situation is serious and
the Insurrectionary movement is spread
ing. If the allied forces, he said, should
meet with reverses the Insurrection will
certainly spread to Central and South
ern China, resulting In the expulsion and
murder of foreigners in the Interior and
the ruin of trade. A strong force, he says.
Is necessary to check the Viceroys In the
north, and to support the Viceroys in the
EOUth. "
It is understood that all Consuls of the
powers In China have sent Identical dis
patches to their respective governments.
CONDITIONS AT TIEN TSIN.
Thousands of Chinese Dead Abont
the Town.
TIEN TSIN, June 29.- via Che Foo. July
1. and Shanghai. July 5. Those best In
formed In Tien Tsln consider the position
of foreigners In Pekln as almost helpless.
It is hopeless to attempt to force the
way with the force available. Command
ers are willing to resort to desperate
means, but to attempt a forced march
from Tien Tsln with the forces at hand
means certain destruction to the army,
besides slaughter of the civilians left at
Tien Tsln. Enough soldiers are necessary
to defeat the Chinese Army, maintain
communication with the base of supplies
and guard the hospitals en route.
The water supply Is an Important prob
lem in a country furnishing none except
river wells, which are being poisoned.
The Chinese are committing terrible
atrocities upon the wounded. They are
mutilating all the dead which fall into
their hands. General Tung Fuh Slang,
with 10.000 of the best disciplined troops
In the Chinese Army, Mahomedans, are
marching from the southwest toward
Pekln. The army thereabouts numbers
60,000.
The Empress has fled to her Summer
palace. The Mahommcdan Boxers are
-fighting In Pekln. Ten regiments of Gen
eral Mens command, north of Tien Tsln,
are reported to have deserted and gono
to pillaging the country. Residents de
clare that a Chinese commune has been
inaugurated, and that peaceable Chinese
have been the greatest sufferers. The
foreign soldiers are burning the outskirts
of Tien Tsln to deprive the enemy of
shelter, and the Boxers are destroying
outlying villages for loot. The smoke of
a hundred fires can be seen in every di
rection. Tien Tsln was not bombarded for the
first time today for a fortnight. Families
are returning to their homes for their
possessions. The women and children will
be sent to Taku as soon as travel Is safe.
No unfriendly Chinamen are visible in
the streets. A few of the richest, with
their families, are huddled in the out
houses for protection, badly frightened.
Dthers concealed in various houses shoot
At the Europeans on the. street.
The Chinese- dead about Tien Tsln .num
ber thousands. Most of those who have
been killed He unburled In the fields. The
river pf Taku Is full of floating bodies,
and many have been washed under by the
tide. Dogs are feeding on these bodies
along the banks.
The small American contingents every
where distinguished themselves. Captain
McCalla and Major "Waller are at Tien
Tsln. Their men are placed In the lead
of every movement. By common con
sent, the British are close beside them.
The foreigners in Tien Tsln declare, how
ever, that they owe their lives to the
Russians, without whom the smaller de
tachments must have been overwhelmed
on that darkest Wednesday when the
Chinese were r-epslng on every side and
the bravest men were abandoning hope.
The Russian Commander. Colonel Wo
tack, arranged the- main body, with the
civilians, to make a sortie In the direc
tion of .Taku. He left 400 Russians to
defend the city and engage the attention
of the Chinese, the intention being for
them to ultimately sacrifice themselves.
The arrival of the Americans saved the
day. Their arrival proved a complete
surprise.
Among the military evidences of Im
mense Chinese preparation for war may
be mentioned that arsenals and store4:
hitherto unknown have been discovered,
with $10,CO0,OQ0 worth of arms and am
munition of the most modern type. These
arms and ammunition have been destroy
ed, with three arsenals outside of Tien
Tsln.
Several thousand troops under General
Nleh are holding the native city five
miles north of Tien Tsln.
It is rumored that 40.000 Chinese will
attack the place at noon today. The
troops are under arms, but the Chinese
failed to materialize. Admiral Seymour
was wounded slightly recently by a spent
ball, which struck him in the shoulder
while in the house with Commander Mc
Calla and Commander Taussig.
The hero of Tien Tsln Is James Watts,
a "young Englishman, perhaps the best
rider In China, who, with three Cossacks,
ran the gauntlet to Taku with messages,
charging through villages under lire re
peatedly. Several foreign commanders
have recommended the quartet be dec
orated. WILD RUMORS FROM THE ORIENT.
Describe the Streets of Pekln as
Running: With Blood.
LONDON. July 6. There Is a mass of
wild rumor from the far East. Though
so contradictory on most points, it con
tlnues "unanimous as to the consummation
of the tragedy at Pekln.
To consistent reports of the massacre
of the whites are now added the addi
tional horrors that savage soldiery butch
ered at the capital EOOO natives, Roman
Catholic converts. This comes In a Shang
hai dispatch of July 5, which only adds
to the report given by respectable Chinese
who have arrived from Chaln-Fu, and
who describe Pekln as an inferno, the
streets literally running with blood. They
confirm numerous stories of executlolns
and untold tortures Inflicted on isolated
foreigners and European soldiers cap
tured by the mob.
The authority of Tung X-u, the Chinese
Imperial Treasurer, who advocated mod
eration, was completely effaced by Prince
Tuan. Kang Ti and Tung Fuh Sian. who
Issued fresh edicts ordering the merciless
extermination of all foreigners in the em
pire. In response to Irfqulries cabled to
Shanghai In regard to the situation at
Pekln. the following cablegram has been
received from an authoritative quarter:
"Shanghai, Thursday, July 5. Prepare
to hear the worst."
The danger, of a general revolt In China
becomes more and more patent, and Eu
rope is being confronted with rapidly in
creasing force with the fact that not
merely the international column may be
forced from Tien Tsln, but that the in
ternational troops of the colonies and
treaty ports will stand In grave danger of
expulsion. In view of the fact that the
previous assurances of the Viceroys have
proved untrustworthy, their promises of
protection for the whites are hardly con
vincing. In the meanwhile, the hitherto uncon
querable Jealousies of the European pow
ers stay the hand of Japan, though it is
hoped an understanding will soon ba
reached. The Foreign Office here re
ceived official dispatches from Tpklo to
day, and the Associated Press' under
stands that the Japanese Government In
formed the foreign officers that. In addi
tion to forces already landed In China,
Japan has 20.000 troops mobilized and
ready for action at a moment's notice
when she receives the mandate of the
powers. Great Britain Is now awaiting
answers from the chancellories to Its pro
The British Cabinet had a long meeting
this morning under the presidency of
Lord Salisbury, and fully considered the
crisis.
In connection with the Cabinet meet'ng,
a story is current that several Foreign
Offlce officials and other government rep
resentatives will start for China, via Van
couver, Immediately, the circumstances
permitting. It is presumed In some quar
ters that they are intended to constitute
a new diplomatic bureau which' will tem
porarily take the place of the Pekln lega
tion. A missionary who has returned to Ber
lin says while In China he learned that
hundreds of Mauser r ifles had been

the bodies of Chinese who had died
abroad.
LIST OF MISSIONARIES.
American Board Fears That Alt Hwe
Been Killed.
CHICAGO, July 6. Officers of the Amer
ican Missionary Board In this city state
that probably 17 or more of their repre
sentatives from the North of China mis
sions are victims of the Pekln massacres,
if the reports from Shanghai be correct.
Following are the names of those from
the Chicago district, whom It is feared
were murdered by the Boxers:
Ament, Rev. William 8., head of the
Pekln Compound, who went to the meet
ing early In May.
Ambrose, Miss Mary E., of the Tung
Cho mission.
Chapin, Mies Abble B., Tung Cho.
Evans, Miss Jane, Tung Cho.
Haven, Miss Ada, Pekln.
Matler, Mrs. Mary Lv, Pekln.

The annual convention of North China
missionaries of the American Board and'
the Board of Interior the woman's
branch of the same organization was
held at Tong Cho, beginning May 22.
Tong Cho is 13 miles north of Pekln.
While the convention was In progress an
attack was made on the town by the
Boxers, and, after some days of fighting,
the building owned by the American
board, where the convention was in ses
sion, was burned. As no report mentions
any one having been killed at this point,
the officers here argue that the members
of the gathering must have fled to Pekln
for safety.
As nothing has been heard from them
since that time, the mission officials fear
they are numbered among the dead In
Pekln.
FR03I JAPANESE SOURCES.
Correspondents Tell of the Condi
tions nt Pelcin.
VICTORIA, B. C, July 6. Correspond
ents of Japanese papers, writing from
Pekln as late as June 13, tell of the dally
arrival there of refugees from all sur
rounding country. Many of the Incoming
parties had been wounded. Some report
having left others behind them dead.
The Boxers hosts at Pekln practically
commenced their work of destruction at
the capital, according tc the correspond-
enta, on Juno 11, when a mob burn-rd
the Summer houses of the Ministers, the
race course and foreign cemetery at Si
Hsan. On the following day thousands
gathered outside the city with banners.
Then, owing to the terror that reigned
among the refugees and the foreigners,
the Ministers ordered all to gather In the
British and American Legations, which
had been secured. Guns were mounted
and other preparations made for a siege.
The custom house and Cathedral also
had been bombarded, but were not held.
On the 13th, the mob attacked the east
ern part of the city during the night and
burned It. This part Included the ca
thedral, the custom house, several mis
sions and foreign houses. Hundreds of
native converts were mafsacrod. Some
were hackedto death wlth swords, and
others driven Into burning houses and cre
mated. At Tien Tsln the Boxers had destroyed
two of the mission buildings and had
massacred a number of native Christians.
On June 13th last, a band of 500 strong
entered the city by the Iron bridge over
the Fd Ho and set fire to the Roman
Catholic mludon and two houoss used as
school 6 by the missionaries. As the na
tive Christians ran out, they were put to
tho sword by the Boxers of pushed back
In the fire. It was not known how many
had been killed. There waa great terror
lest the Boxers should fire the city.
HE KNOWS THE CHINESE.
W. W. Roclchill Describes Condi
tions There in War.
NEW YORK, July 6. W. W. Rockblll,
Director of the Bureau of American Re
publics, who served In China as Secretary
of Legation, when the late John Russell
Young was there as Minister, and who
Is recognized authority In Chinese mat
ters, spoke feelingly In Washington last
night of the Indignities which foreigners
In Pekln are reported to have suffered
after capture.
"This Is something new In the history
of China," he said. "Foreigners have never
before been publicly executed, and we
can by analogy imagine what has hap
pened to foreign women and children In
Pekln. We know mat In me civil wars
of China, the greatest barbarity was
practiced, and It has been the knowledge
of what might be expected which has
given rise to the custom of the con
quered party putting to death its women
and children, before surrendering.
"No doubt the dispatch tells but a small
portion of the horrors of die spectacle
In Pekln. It was only a mttter of time,
anyway, and what followed waa the com
mon practice of barbaric and half-clvlllzed
nations. Had they been merely imprison
ed, their conditions would have been piti
able enough. Any one who has read of
the capture and the tortures Imposed upon
Lord Loch and Sir Harry Parkes In 1S60,
and who knows that' the Chinese prisons
have not been Improved in the last 40
years, can appreciate in part the suff erlngu
which foreign residents In Pekln must
have endured in the last month.
' "There Is little use In trying to portray
what Indignities were heaped upon the
victims before death' released them. With
out question, they were horrible beyond
the Imagination of civilized man. Their
captors add to the cruelty of the Asiatic
the demoniac ingenuity of a race that
is almost civilized, a race which appro
priates the arts of white men without ap
preciating them. The tale to come
from Pekln when entrance Is gained by
foreign troops will be one unequaled In
shudderTforclng qualities since the days of
the Sepoy rebellion."
FIRST CAVALRY WILL GO.
Next Regiment to Be Sent to the
Orient. v
WASHINGTON, July 6. Although the
War Department officials will not admit
it. it Is practically settled that the First
Regiment of cavalry will be the next reg
iment sent to the Philippines for the re-
lief of volunteer troops. The regiment Is
now stationed In the West. The cavalry
detachment at Fort Myer, Va., Is also
booked for an early departure for the
Philippines. It comprises Troops B, G,
H and I of the Third Cavalry, together
with the regimental band. The other
squadrons of this regiment already are In
the Philippines. Other troops supposed to
be destined to the Philippines, for possi
ble diversion Into China, are the home
battalion of the Second Infantry, at Fort
Thomas and Columbus Barracks, the home
battalion of the Fifth Infantry, at Fort
Sheridan, and the home battalion of the
Eighth Battery at Fort SnelUng, Minn.
Their places will be supplied by the Cu
ban battalions of the regiments named,
the excess being used, so far as possible,
for supplying tho garrisons In New York,
Vermont and Georgia vacated by the pros
pective departure of the Fifteenth In
fantry .for the Philippines.

Times-Herald from Des Moines, la., says:
A letter was received here today by Mrs.
Ida H. Conger from her brother-in-law.
Major E. H. Conger, United States Min
ister to China. The letter was dated May
2G. and is as follows:
"The times grow more exciting every
day. The opposition to missionaries and
all foreigners is worse than It has been
for 3) years, hence I am unusually busy.
The Woodwards, of Chicago, are with us.
They are here to stay until the middle
of June. We are still In the City of Pekln,
but hope to move up to the hills within
10 days.
"I enclose pictures of the American
Legation, including besides the Minister,
First Secretary Squires, of New York;
Second Secretary Balnbrldge, of Council
Bluffs, and Interpreter Cheshire, formerly
of Iowa, but who has been connected with
the Legation for 20 years."

STEEL AND IRON TRADE
BELIEF THAT THE BOTTOM
BEEN REACHED. ''
HAS
Sew York Conference Resulted In
Advance In Steel Stocks Weekly
Trade Reviews.
NEW YORK, July 6. The presence In
this city this week of leading officers of
some of the largest steel companies,
coupled with a sharp advance- yesterday
in the prices of steel stocks, has led. Wall
street to believe that Important action
looking to the betterment of the present
condition Is In contemplation. That this
belief Is weil founded is shown. In the fol
lowing statement made by a director of
one of the companies Interested:
"The fcteel and Iron situation has now
practically touched rock bottom, and at
any rato will have reached It befcre the
end of the week. Conferences have been
bxf.d, and others are to be held, at the of
fice of President Gary, of the Federal
Steel Company, between repreojntat!ve3
of all the Important steel Interests.
Among them are tho Federal Steel Com
pany, the American Steel & Wire Com
pany, the Carnegie Steel Company, the
National Steel Company, the Lackawanna
Steal Company and the Maryland Steel
Company, and the result of these con
ferences will be the end of. the existing
demoralization.
"I expect that lower prices will be
fixed for bessemer plg-lron and steel bil
lets, but after that there will be no fur
ther cutting. In fact, this will be the
last time such a state of demoralization
can exist in the steel and Iron trade. The
renult of the conferences will be the es
tablishment of harmonious relations
among all the steel companies. As far aa
steel rails Is concerned their price will not
be changed, aa there are contracts far
ahead which will prevent that."
Among the men who have taken part In
the conference referred to are: President
Gary and C. M. Porter, of the Federal
Steel Company; President Schwab, of the
Carnegio Steel Ccmpany, and President
Clifford and Directors Pam and Elwood,
of tho American Steel & Wire Company.
SIX MONTHS FAILURES.
Most of the Embarrassments Cansed
"by Too Much Speculation.
NEW YORK, July 6. Reports to R. G.
Dun show commercial failures for the
half-year Just closed 5332 In number, with
liabilities of $7i,77,2, but nearly . one
third of the whole amount was In the list
of brokers, agents and the like, of which
265 failed, with liabilities of $22,122,26, and
during the last quarter 115 failed for $1S,-
520.973.
On the other hand, the manufacturing
and trading failures were both smaller
In the second than In the first quarter of
the year, although both were considera
bly larger than In the corresponding quar
ter of last year.
The record shows plainly enough the
disappointment and loss which results
after a year of wholly unprecedented ex
pansion and hopefulness in all lines of
Industry and trade, when It Is found that
a season of halting and delay has come.
To multitudes who have bought too much,
relying upon continued or even Increase
of buying or consumers, this Inevitably
Involves losses, and when out of more
than 1,100,000 concerns In business it Is
found that but one In 200 has been thus
drawn Into misfortune, the evidence Is
quite as satisfactory as when half a year
of extraordinary prosperity appears to
have brought a smaller ratio.
The returns still offer many satisfac
tory features, but they show relative In
crease in number, and large increase In
amount of defaults, and In some especial
lines to which analysis Invites attention
there Is Indicated much soundness. Hap
pily. It Is hardly more than Indirectly
connected with the great branches of pro
ductive Industry or of trade. Speculation
In real estate and In building and con
struction has led to more speculation In
builders materials than Is wholesome,
especially In lumber, so that a number of
commercial failures follow In lumber
dealing and manufacturing and others In
building and manufacture of builders'
supplies.
There is much ground for satisfaction
regarding the geographical location of
losses. As this city has been by far the
heaviest in the brokerage business, all
elements considered, the one large fail
ure of that olass at this point does not
disturb proportions, and Chicago and
Boston follow with no more than a rea
sonable share in the same lines. There
la satisfactory decreases in the volume
of failures In New England, outside of
Massachusetts, and in the Southeast.
Southwest and Pacific States. But it Is
still better that no new centers of weak
ness have been developed In either branch
of industry, spreading into adjacent
states and weakening their returns.
DUN'S REVIEW.
Over Five Thousand Failures for the
First Half of 1000.
NEW YORK. July 6. R. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say: -
Failures In the first half of 1900 were
5S62, with liabilities of $100,570,134. There
were 30 failures of banks, and financial
corporations of $25,822,662, leaving 5332
commercial failures, with liabilities of
$74,747,457.
Iron and steel'products have declined
about 25 per cent since January 10, and
some further decline Is now expected be
fore things are adjusted for another ac
tive season, and efforts to arrange wages
are progressing.
The Fall River committee has decided to
close their cotton mills for a time, and
some of .the largest woolen works have
been closed or much reduced In force. A
large share of the boot and shoe force
Is Inactive, and no change In prices has
resulted since those of some weeks ago,
which, according to later accounts, were
made by fewer of the manufacturers than
was at the time believed.
The crop year for grain la over, and
the outward movement of wheat has not
been stopped, although somewhat dimin
ished by the vagaries in prices.
While exact figures for the year will
not be known for some time to come, they
differ very little from 400.000.000 bushels
of wheat and corn together, which was
almost exactly the quantity exported last
year, while in 1S9S it was slightly larger.
It Is now asked by the most conservative
whether Indian corn has not at last
crept Into such special favor in place of
other grain that a larger quantity of It
will bo required hereafter, lessening the
strain in this country when wheat Is in
short supply, and without curtailing the
supply of the world's needs or the sum
duo to this country on balances. A single
moderately short wheat crop might
change all calculations in this respect for
the future.
THE DULL SEASON.
Railway Earnings Arc Good, How
ever, and Business Failures. Few.
NEW YORK, July 6. Bradstreefs will
say tomorrow: Business Is unusually dull
at this season, and this year no exception
to the general rule Is remarked. A re
view of the past six months, however,
gives little comfort to pessimists. Bank
clearings, It Is true, are smaller by about
11 per cent than they were In the first
half of 1899, but railway earnings are
about 10 per cent larger, and business
failures, as reported to Bradstreefs, are
the fewest reported for IS years back,
with liabilities of falling trades tho
same, with one exception, and that last
year, since 1892. Winter wheat has about
all been harvested In the Southwest and
the yield there has been very large. Co
pious rains In the Northwest, too, have
apparently worked some improvement.
Judging from te more cheerful tone of
advices received from thence this week.
Wool Is dull and manufacturers are
supplying only actual wants. Prices are
at the lowest point reached this season.
In sympathy with the lower opening of
July wool sales at London, where finer
grades are relatively weakest. In manu
facturing ltnes dullness and weakness are
most marked In products of Iron and
steel. Talk of an effort by the great com
bines to control prices in the latter in
dustry Is heard, but In the almost total
lack of new business the basic material,
pig Iron, weakens steadily, some author
ities predicting a 25 per cent reduction
from present prices, which are not at
tracting buyers.
The settlement of labor troubles' Is re
flected In the better demand for building
materials at affected centers, while rains
In the Northwest havo allowed white
pine manufacturers to open their works,
and give employment to many thousands
of men. Southern pine prices are weak
and the market for that material is very
dull.
Anthracite coal has advanced 25 cents
a ton, and while the demand has not In
creased heavily, the feeling In that trade
is rather more cheerful. Sugar has been
marked up again this week, coffee Is
higher, while tea holds the full advance
scored on the outbreak of the Chinese
troubles.
Wheat, Including flour, shipments for
the week aggregate 3,018.832 bushels,
against 3.184,144 bushels last week, 3,
758,972 bushels In the corresponding week
of 1899; 2,728,642 bushels In 1S9S; 2.502,603
bushels In 1897, and 2,167,076 bushels In
isse.
Business failures In the United States
States for the week number 196, as com
pared with 185 last week. 136 in this week
a year ago, 241 In 1898, 213 In 1S97 and 219
In 1S9S.
Business failures in Canada number 25
as compared with 18 last week. 25 In this
week a year ago, 18 In 1898, 24 in 1S97, and
82 In 1896.
The Financial Markets.
NEW YORK, July 6. Bradstreefs
financial review tomorrow will say:
Although activity has been of the re
stricted kind, suitable to the Summer sea
son, and though speculation still has al
most entirely a professional origin, the
past week has witnessed both a strong
and an interesting market. In fact. Its
strength. In the face of dullness and of
adverse political developments at home
and abroad, has been somewhat remark
able. The Chinese situation. Involving
danger of the European markets, with
the possibility of future International
complications, brought a free selling of
stocks here for account of Berlin, and to
some extent for London. These offerings
were, however, readily absorbed, and
Wall street was apparently Indisposed to
borrow trouble by looking too far ahead
In connection with China.
The adoption by the Kansas City con
vention of a free-silver plank without
modification of the 16-to-l principle was
also apparently disregarded, or It might
be said that the market was Inclined to
a belief that this action renders the out
look In the National campaign that Is
'now beginning more certain than if the
Chicago platform of four years ago had
been modified in Its financial sections.
Conservative people, of course, give due
weight to the uncertainties that are lia
ble to develop in connection with domes
tic politics, and there is In such quarters
a due recognition of the dangers that are
Involved In China. This seems to have
brought back many large financial Inter
ests, but on the other hand money Is
easy and the enormous disbursements of
Income on July 1 have brought a largo
supply of funds Into the stock market
for reinvestment. Although scattered,
the buying of dividend-paying stocks has
been large and persistent, and commission-houses
report a considerable demand
of that kind, which, of course, reduces
the floating supply.
The fact that rains have Improved the
wheat situation In the Northwest and
have caused expectations of half a crop
to replace the estimate of a total failure
of the Spring wheat yield In three Import
ant states, also helped the market and
caused covering of shorts throughout the
list. The belief that a change for the
better is at hand In the Iron trade also
had a good, effect on the Industrials, In
the railroads, the anthracite group was
the active feature of the week, with
sharp advances In several of the mem
bers, giving rise to the Idea that some
Important deal Involving trunk line inter
ests Is In prospect.

ROOSEVELT AT CANTON
A CONFERENCE WITH THE PRESI
DENT AT HIS HOME. '
Speeches From the Front Porch by
Both of Them The Towns
people's Demonstration.
CANTON, O., July 8. The home city of
the President today accorded to his col
league on the Republican National ticket
an ovation almost unprecedented even In
Canton. It would be hard to say whether
the citizens of Canton voiced a more
demonstrative welcome to President Mc
Klnley or Governor Roosevelt, yet it may
be said with truth that Canton did not
discriminate In today's demonstration, the
first occasion on which the Republican
candidates for President and Vice-President
personally met since the Philadel
phia convention.
Governor Roosevelt arrived in Canton
over the Valley Road at half past 5. His
only companions from Cleveland to Can
ton were the newspaper men who have
accompanied him on his long trip to
Oklahoma. As the Governor alighted
from the train the whistles blew and
cannons boomed and an immense crowd
gathered about the station and gave him
a mighty cheer of welcome. The Presi
dent's secretary, George B. Cortelyou,
was the first person to meet him as he
stepped off the platform. Carriages were
In waiting. All along the line from the
station to the McKlnley residence, nearly
a mile, the streets were lined with peo
ple and Governor Roosevelt was kept
busy bowing his acknowledgments to the
acclaims of the peoplo of Canton. A brass
band, giving forth patriotic airs, led the
procession. The carriage In which Gov
ernor Roosevelt rode was surrounded
with small boys shouting at the highest
pitch of their voices, and by bicyclists
who seemed anxious to feast their eyes
on the sight of the Rough Rider.
The yard of the McKlnley residence
and the streets adjacent were literally
packed with humanity when the Gov
ernor alighted from his carriage and
walked briskly toward the house. Then a
tremendous cheer burst forth from the
assemblage. President MclKnley was
standing on the porch waiting with out
stretched hands to greet his associate on
the National ticket. When they shook
hands the scene was Inspiring indeed. The
assemblage was clamorous for speeches
and when something like quiet was re
stored, the President Introduced Gov
ernor Roosevelt In the following words:
"I cannot exowress the pleasure it has
given to me to see the enthusiastic wel
come my fellow citizens have given to
Governor Roosevelt, and I now have the
pleasure of presenting him to you."
The Governor spoke but a few words,
but his voice rang clear and loud and
the great crowd had no difficulty In hear
ing him. He said:
"My fellow citizens. I thank you most
cordially for the way you have come
forward to greet me. I know that none
of you, least of all my old comrades here,
will grudge my saying that I thank par
ticularly those who wear the buttons that
show they fought In the great war (ap
plause). "I cannot say how I appreciate this,
coming as it does from the townsmen of
the President, who Is now In a peculiar
sense my leader and whom I shall follow
and support with every ounce of strength
that there Is in me. And, at least, there
is to be said for our side that we know
what we believe. In Kansas City they
have had a little difficulty in finding out
what they believe. I see by the papers
that they had some difficulty, extending
finally to a vote of 26 to 24. in putting In
free silver. Now, we believe with all our
faith In a dollar with a hundred cents.
Apparently, they have 52 per cent of
faith In a 4S-cent dollar. I do not Intend
to do more this afternoon than again
thank you most cordially, and to say that
I appreciate what this greeting means,
coming as it does from the home of the
President, I shall try to show myself not
wholly unworthy of the way In which
you have met me this afternoon."
The President and the Governor then
retired to the house, but the crowd was
not satisfied. The demands for McKln
ley were so persistent that at length he
stepped out again upon tho porch. A
great cheer went up, which he silenced
aMth a wavii of his hand.
) "T nnlv annear." said the President.
"that I may say to you that I am going
to be with you most of the Summer."
Cheers and laughter followed this re
mark of the President and the crowd soon
after broke up. At dinner the only guests
at the McKlnley residence besides the
regular household were Governor Roose
velt and Judge and Mrs. Day. President
McKlnley and Governor Roosevelt were In
conference most of the evening, .but noth
ing could be learned as" to the matters
discussed.
The Governor left for New York at
1:50. "I am going direct to Oyster Bay
tomorrow afternoon," he said, "and we
are going to have some fireworks, a sort
of belated Fourth of July celebration."
Governor Roosevelt refused to discuss
the Kansas City platform or tho candi
dates. ROOSEVELT AJSD HANNA.
Campaign Plans Arranged The Sen
ator on the Democratic Platform.
OI1EVBL1AND, o., July 6. Governor
Roosevelt spent eight hours In Cleveland
today. He left at 2:35 in tho afternoon
for Canton to visit President McKlnley.
Senator Hanna did not accompany him.
The most of the Governor's stay In Cleve
land was taken up by a consultation with
Hanna. Governor Roosevelt said:
"I have been conferring with the Sen
ator about the itinerary that we shall
follow out this Fall. It has been de
termined that If possible, I shall visit
all the Rocky Mountain States."
Senator Hanna, when asked for an ex
pression on the Democratic platform,
said:
"From what I have read. I can see that
it Is a cunningly devised scheme to catch
the unwary and the unthinking voters. I
think the most labored effort In their
document was to create a difference be
tween expansion and imperialism. It was
rather amusing to see their line of de
marcation; they apparently rely upon
the Constitutional question to establish
thnt difference as to whether the flag
follows the Constitution or the Consti
tution follows the flag. We are perfectly
willing to meet that Issue on their own
hypothesis. So far as the free sliver
plank is concerned. I think all Republi
cans will be satisfied. It is certainly sat
isfactory to me."
ARMY REORGANIZATION.
Root Is Preparing? a Bill
Kext Session.
for the
NEW YORK, July 6. A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Root Is preparing a bill for the
reorganization of the regular Army even
more radical in nature than the one
submitted in the last session. In order
to obviate all antagonism from members
of the staff of the regular service, the
Secretary has sent a circular letter to
all chiefs of bureaus, calling for their
recommendations relative to regulation
of staff as appropriate to their Individual
departments.
The Secretary said he had decided to
have the new bill provide for the com
plete reorganization of the artillery along
the same lines as proposed in the old
measure. It Is also Intended by the Sec
retary to ask for relief for the cavalry.
It seems to be his opinion that the caval
ry should be Increased from 10 to 12 reg
iments, in order not only to give a larger
mounted force, but to make promotions
faster among officials.
An official In close touch with the Sec
retary says It Is the Intention of the de-
1 w.-.-j ,- -- -- ---- -
I oartment to ask Congress for a standing
. -
1 army of not less man i&.uw men. An
army of this slze It Is estimated, will be
needed to successfully cope with the sit
uation In the Philippines.
