Miss Bather Touched the Mutton While
President McKinley Stood By and
Watched the Big Ship Slide Into
the Bay.
Sax Fuanoikco, May 18, Fortunately,
Mrs. McKinley's condition toduy per
mitted the president to attend the
launching of the battleship Ohio from
the yards of the Union Iron Works. To
witness tin; launching ol this ship, was
named in honor of his native; state, was
tho leal object of the president's long
trip across the. continent , and was the
event which has attracted to the Pacific
Coast, the governors ot three state, the
Ohio congressional delegation, several
United States senators and many other
distinguished people.
Dramatic and picturesque us was the
sight of M.OOO tons of steel sliding into
t ho full breasted tids of Sun Fruncn-eo
bay, it was not so splendid and munifi
cent as the great naval pageant which
.accompanied it nor as piofoundly im
pressive as the greeting extended to
tho president by 4500 employes of the
shipyard. With the threut of a great
strike impending, the president' woids
to the workmen taday have added
significance to the event, and his refer
ence to expansion and other national
questions make his speech a notable one.
When the president left tho sick room
of his wife this morning every arrange
ment had been made to notify him on
tho instant of any change for the worse
in her condition. The phjsicians as-Bliied-liim
there was no indication of u
set back, nut at his request telegraphic
connection weie made at the wharf and
at the ship yard, and save for tho time
he was on the water he was not for a
minute away from the direct connection
witli tht! Scott rcsidenca.
KKMAUKAIII.i: DK.MOXHTIIATION.
The trio to Union Iron Works on the
tug Slocum proved to be a triumphal
I jurnoy, tho like of which Iiub not been
witnessed in the country since Admiral
Dewey, upon his return from the Philip
pines, sailed up the Hudson on the
Olympiu. Every cratt in the harbor whb
decked out in gayest uttne. Up near
the ship yards the grim warships of the
Pacific squadron were swinging at
anchor. Oil' near Ooat island lay the
transport Sheridan. SIih had just ar
rived from the Philippines and sho had
aboard the Forty-second and Forty-sixth
United States volunteer infantry, which
ehe hud brought homo. The president
saw her ut once and requested that the
course of the Slocum should be changed
to allow him to pass near her. Ah the
Slocum approached the big transport
there was a scene of almost frenzied
enthusiasm. The soldiers, all in their
service uniforms, rushed to the side and
rent the air witli cheer upon cheer at the
sight of Hit) president of tne United
fetates come to welcome them home. He
stood on tower deck uncovered, bowing
and smiling and waving his handkerchief
until the sound of shouting died uway in
the distance.
Tho president and his party moved to
the stand where a representative of the
IjOO employes of the Union Iron W rks
asked a heartfelt blessing upon the head
of tho president and expressed tender
Hympitthy for his suffering wife, and
presented the president as token of the
esteem of the woiknien, with a gold pinto
engraved with it suitable inscription.
Tim president's response aroused much
enthusiasm.
Then came the launching. At 12 i-'U,',
two and a half minutes before the tldo
was at its highest, Miss Burlier j.ressed
thu button. The last block felt away, at
the same time Miss Barber, a young
lady of seventeen years, let go He
bottle of champagne suspended at the
side of the bow by red, white und blue
ribbon, mid as it crushed against tho
Aide site uttered tho words "I christen
thee 'Ohio.' "
called on Presldent;McKinley thig after
noon. President McKinley especially
requested Gov. Geer to express to the
people of Oregon his regret that lie was
unable to visit them at this time. The
president stated that at some time during
his administration he expected to com
plete his tour as originally planned. In
that event, ho said, he would go direct
from Washington to thonorthweet.
The Ohio congressional delegation will
leave tonight for Portland, Ore., arriving
there Tuesday morning. Two days will
be spent at Portland, including a trip on
the Columbia river.

San Fhancisco, May 19. Mre. Mc

for a while. This welcome news was
given out shortly after 5 o'clock. General

downstairs that Mrs. McKinley was sit
ting up. The president at once asked to
be excused and hurried to the sick room

letin, stating that Mre. McKinley's tern
perature was higher, was dispelled at
10 o'clock this morning, when Secretary

a comfortable night, and that the slight
fever noted last night had subsided.
The president did not attend church,
but remained at home nearly all day

feeling that the crisis had been passed,
and that Mrs. McKinley would continue
