WASHINGTON. Dec 7. The board or trustees of the McKinley Memorial Asso ciation met here today. Ryerson Ritchie, tho secretary, reported that the work or the organization has so far advanced that within 10 days the wnole country win do covered by the state and local committees. From Hawaii, Governor Sanford Dole, who has accepted an honorary member ship of the board of trustees, writes that he expects a most satisfactory contribu tion, as the people of Hawaii thought a treat deal of President McKinley. Gover nor Hunt, of Porto Rico, is very sanguine, and from Alaska the thousands who have gone to the gold lields assure the associa tion their hearty co-operation. From New England the people have al ready responded generously. Similar as surances come from many other quarters. Many schools have taken up the plan en thusiastically. In Minnesota Governor Van Sant has given assurances of J20.O00 from the school children alone. Governor Hunt, of IdaHo, has set apart a special day for school contributions. A deputation from the William McKin ley National Arch Association formally proposed to the meeting a co-operation of the two memorial associations In the col lection of funds, and that tho total thus collected shall be divided, one-third to go to tho construction of an arch, at Wash ington. .Later in the afternoon, and after a full discussion of the proposition, the McKinley National Memorial Association decided not to accept it, and adopted the following resolution: "Resolved; That it la the sense of the trustees of the McKinley National Memo rial Association that the Held of popular ( subscription should be left to it for rais ing the sum necessary to provide a sulta- ( tole memorial to the late President at Can ton, -where his body Hes, and that this association should Join with the William , McKinley National Arch Association, of Washington, In memorializing Congress to erect a national memorial at the capt- i tal of our country, to commemorate his cervices to the nation." It was insisted by Judge Day, Senator ,Hanna and others that all popular sub scriptions should bo applied to the erec tion of a memorial at Canton, where the late President lived for so many years and where he lies buried, and where Mrs. .McKinley will eventually rest beside him. While it was lioped that Congress would take the matter in hand and erect in the National capital some fitting memorial to the martyred President, tho opinion was general that the people of the Nation would prefer that their contributions should be used suitably to mark his tomb in Canton. The resolution will be pre sented to the Memorial Arch Association at a meeting to be held next Monday af ternoon. No Vacancy on ilie Commission. WASHINGTON, Dec 7.

FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND WASHINGTON STREETS LABORI AND DREYFUS LAWYER DECLINES TO TELL STORY OP BREAKING OF1 NEGOTIATIONS. The Affair, It Is Said, Will Dominate the Elections Next Year, as It Did in 1S9S. PARIS, Dec. 7. The general expecta tion of sensational disclosures in Maitre Laborl's explanations of his rupture with Dreyfus has thus far been disappointing, as he announces that his lips are sealed by professional secrecy from telling the story of the actual breaking off of rela tions with the Dreyfus family. His ar ticles up to now nave taken the form of a personal polemic against MM. Relnach. and Bernard Lazare, but they have gone to show how wide Is the breach between Dreyfus and Relnach and the former's, champion. The anti-Dreyfusard press naturally ex ults over what they describe as a "dis play of dirty Dreyfusard linen," and with Machiavellian intentions urge Maltre Labor!, now that he bas been thrown over by his urrgrateful friends, to reveal the whole Dreyfusard conspiracy against the army On the other hand, M. Yves-Guybt, in ihe Slecle, says the adversaries of Dreyfus are mistaken If they imagine, that any proof of his guilt will emanate from the polemics of his former friend, but he I repeats -nls prediction that the Dreyfus affair will dominate the elections of lSKi as it did those of 1898.

Welder con siders Pittsburg: the best center for tho establishment of such an institution, and ho intends to make an Investigation there, but Chicago and Philadelphia are still being considered. The government has examined the suggestion to send commer cial students also, but 4s Indisposed to adopt this step until the Industrial experi ment shall have been tried. M. Welller's Inquiry in the matter of trusts will occupy about four months, during which time he will visit all the industrial centers of the United States. At the head of an electrical business, he already has relations with all the metal lurgical concerns. The government !s anx ious to have a competent opinion upon the effects of the formation of big trusts, and to what extent they count in the industrial progress of tho United States. This matter is of peculiar Interest to France, which !she only European coun try enforcing tho law. dating back to the Revolution, absolutely prohibiting any form of trust. M. Welller said: "The results of my Inquiry Into the in dustrial situation will enable the govern ment to Judge whether It will be tho bet ter policy for France to seek to work hand In hand with the United States in the Industrial movement rather than to enter into a struggle with her."

This most Import ant haul seems to have been the work of "Major Wools Sampson. This officer's ad mirable handling of the troons at Brak- enslaagt, after Colonel Benson was mor tally wounded, redounded very much to his credit, and his capture of the Boer laager southwest of Ermelo ought to make his promotion certain.
