INVALID WEAK BUT HOPEFUL Prospect of Soon Being at Home Again Greatly Elates the Pa tient and Gentle Sufferer. President Mc Kinley and party, after a sojourn of nearly two weeks in San Francisco, left the California city for Washington Saturday. Mrs. McKinley enjoyed a refreshing night's rest and seemed elated at the prospect of soon being at home. She | was conveyed from the Scott residence to the Oakland ferry in a closed car riage by a circuitous route chosen so the invalid might pass over only smoothly paved streets. She was ac | companied by the president, Dr. Rixey and a trained nurse. An immense crowd had assembled at the ferry depot of the Southern Pacific railway. The large open space at Market and East streets was a sol id mass of humanity through which the police kept open a passageway for the president and uis party. Heads were uncovered as the car riage bearing Mrs. McKinley approach ed, and there was a visible effort to restrain any burst of applause as the carriage with drawn curtains passed slowly through the throng. All re spected the frail condition of the suf ferer and enthusiasm was suppressed. There were no formal ceremonies at the depot. Goodbys were exchanged by the president, cabinet members and others of the party with friends who had come to wish them godspeed and the travelers boarded the ferry boat Oakland. The carriage containing Mrs. Mc- Kinley was driven on to the lower deck of the boat and the curtains were partly raised so sho might obtain a glimpse of the bay and the Golden Gate. As the steamer drew out of the slip, hats and handkerchiefs were waved, and as it swung into the stream the shipping in the harbor dipped their colors in salute. Tumultuous cheers then broke forth on shore and were borne out across the waters —San Francisco’s farewell. At the Oakland mole, where the train was in readiness, the inolosure was roped off. Mrs. McKinley was tenderly helped out of the carriage by the president. When she had been made comfortable in her car he ap peared upon the platform and waved adieu to the throngs beyond the ropes. The presidential train traversed the state of Nevada Sunday and reached Ogden. Utah, at 6:30 o’clock Sunday night. The route lay along the Hum boldt river througn the Ruby and Wasatch mountains and then descend ed into the Salt Lake basin. During most of the day the elevation exceed ed 5,000 feet and snow-clad peaks were continually in sight from the car win dows. The president makes it a rule ordi narily not to travel on Sunday, but the present circumstances were so excep tional that he hid his compunctions in order that his wife might the sooner reach home.

President James O’Connell, of the International Association of Machin ists, announced Friday afternoon that he would recommend to the next an nual convention of machinists at To ronto, beginning June 3d, that a date be set for a nine-hour day without re duction in wages on all the railroads of the country. On railroads which fail to comply with this demand a strike will be ordered The recommen dation will be made in Mr. O’Connell’s annual report. Mr. O’Connell says that such a strike would involve probably one hundred thousand men, including for ty thousand machinists, the others be ing boiler makers, pattern makers and semi-skilled machinists in the various shops. The policy will be to enforce the demand by tieing up practically the entire mechanical service of the roads. It was simply a matter of poli cy, he said, that the railroads were not included in the present strike. Al though a number of them are now in volved, none of the roads were origi nally contemplated in the order de claring the present strike. Mr. O’Con nell says the convention doubtless will fix a date when the nine-hour day must be in operation, and he believes this date should be some day in the au tumn. Friday afternoon Mr. O’Connell said the outlook of the present strike was very gratifying. The headquarters of the strike have been shifted from Washington to Toronto, for which city President O’Connell left at a late hour Friday night. CASTOIIXA. Bears the j?

How To Gain Flesh Persons have been Known to gain a gsomid a day by taking an ounce of SCOTT’S EMUL SION. It is strange, but it often happens. Somehow the ounce produces the pound; it seems to start the digestive machinery going prop erly, so that the patient is able to digest and absorb his ordinary food, which he could not do be fore, and that is the way the gain is made. A certain amount of flesh is necessary foi health; if you have not got it you can get it by taking jpftrs jpineision You will find it just as useful in summer as in winter, and if you arc thriving upon it don’t stop because the weather is warm.

OTHER VESSLS MEET LIKE FATE Tempest Was Terrific and Staunch Crafts Were Crushed Like So Many Egg Shells—Fearful Experience of Crews. A special from Towas, Mich., says: The wooden steamer Baltimore foun dered in Lake Huron near Au Sable Friday morning and twelve of her crew of fourteen were drowned. The men washed about in the lake for sev eral hours lashed to a piece of wreck age and were finally picked up by the tug Columbia. George McGinnis, a deck hand, one of the rescued, went crazy from his experience. The other survivor, Thomas Murphy, of Milwau kee, second engineer, was able to tell the story of the disaster. The dead are as follows: M. H. Place, captain, of Cleveland; Mrs. M. H. Place, his wife, stewardess; Mi chael Brethren, first mate; Edward Owen, wheelman; G. W. Sears, wheel man; G. W. Scott, watchman; Herbert Wining, watchman; August Anderson, deck hand; John Delgers, second stew ard; P. Marceaux, of Chicago, first engineer; W. H. Parker, fireman; F. Kreuger, fireman. “We were bound from Lorain to Sault Ste. Marie,” Murphy said, “and had in tow a large steam drill and scow. When off Thunder bay last night Captain Place saw that the steamer was making bad weather, for the waves had smashed in the engi neer's quarters and the wash room and water was running into the hold. Captain Place decided to turn about and run for Tawas for shelter. Every thing went all right until we were off Au Sable, when the steamer struck heavily on the bottom. The seas broke over her at the same time and carried away the deck house, then the after cabin and finaLly the smokestack fell. Both rails forward broke in two just aft the forward deck house, and we knew that it was only a few minutes before the steamer would go to pieces. “It is every man for himself now,” shouted Captain Place. The look of despair on Mrs. Place’s face was some thing I shall never forget. It was aw ful. I took the captain’s advice and every man started to save himself as best he could. “Some of the boys took to the rig ring, but McGinnis and I lashed our selves to a ring bolt in a piece of the after cabin and were washed over board shortly afterwards. “The strain was too much for Mc- Ginnis and he went craxy before we had been in the water very long. He tried to throw me off the wreckage, but I talked tc him and encouraged him to hold on. Twice he got loose and tried to drown us both, but each time I succeeded in quieting him. I told him a boat was eoming to take us off, and then I would get him tied fast again. “The Columbia finally came along and picked us up just as I was about to give up hope. I am afraid all the rest of the crew were drowned, inclnd ing Mrs. Place.” Murphy was in the water from 8 o’clock in the worning until 2 o’clock in the afternoon. Other Vessels Lost. The tug Columbia, of Detroit, with a government steam dredge and two loaded lighters for the Soo, was caught in the storm. The lighters and dredge were lost, parting their six-inch cable. The crew of six men is missing. While . searching for her tow the Columbia picked up two men from the Baltimore on a raft. They were almost dead and were taken to East Tawas. An other man was on the raft, but was lost, despite the efforts to save him. Will Operate Independently.

Eliza bethton, the wrecked town, presents a terrible spectacle, and the faster the water receded there the more serious became the situation. The Doe river has changed its course and >s now running through the residence section, over the ruins of many homes. Some of the finest farms in that vicinity have been swept of their soil and bar ren rocks are appearing. Railroad communication was re stored early Friday between Johnson City and Elizabethton over the East Tennessee and Western North Caro lina line. The towns of Allentown and Butler have been more or less de vastated. All the stores in the for mer place were swept away and 1,000 people are without food.

FOURTEEN FOSE U\ Freshet Disasters In Tennesse Worse Than First Reported. EUZABETHTON ALMOST RUIMQ The Majority of Fatalities a < Greatest Property Loss Occurred In East ’ Tennessee. The Tennessee river reached tt height of 35.8 at Knoxville Thursd, afternoon, and then began tributaries in upper east Tennessa where the greatest loss has resulte from the flood, have rapidly recede into their banks, revealing wreckagi of houses and bridges and ruinel crops. The loss of life thus far reported ag gregates fourteen, though it i S no ° t improbable that there are others Three bridges are reported swapt away in addition to the twelve report ed ’Wednesday. There were two road steel viaducts in Washington county, over the Nolaehucky river; Sullivan county steel bridge at Devault’s ford; Ohio river and Charleston railroad bridge near Devault’s ford. The loss at Elizabethton due to the flood is conservatively estimated at about $250,000. The damage to the town of Watauga is estimated at $150,000. The Holston river, near Hogersville, was higher than it has been since 1887. The water touched the tracks on the Southern railway’s steel bridge near there. At Knoxville the flood did a great amount of damage. The Onega, steam er. largest vessel plying the Tennes see above Chattanooga, was wrecked Thursday afternoon, being a total loss. Traffic via Bristol on the Southern railway, Norfolk and Western route, will be delayed until the bridges that were carried away are replaced. The Southern hopes to handle trains by Asheville and Spartanburg, to and from the east, while the road through Asheville, via Salisbury, will not be in use for several days. The damage in North Carolina from floods is far worse than at first report ed, especially to the crops and the fields. Many fertile bottom lands were entirely denuded of soil and are totally worthless. An Southern railway trains between Charlotte and Atlanta were tempora rily operated by way of Columbia and Spartanburg on account of a washout of about 300 feet of a trestle at the approach to the Catawba river bridge ten miles below Charlotte. The heaviest damage to the South era railway is on the Western North Carolina division. In many place* along the line great gaps are found on the track. Asheville is without water. The flood so badly damaged the water works plant that it may be several days before it can supply the city again. LEPER HOME DEMOLISHED. Louisiana People Forcibly Object to Establishment of Lazaretto. The Louisiana state leper board re cently quietly purchased a large plan tation in Jefferson parish, opposite New Orleans, and made arrangements to establish there a leper lazaretto. When the news became public Jef fries and St. Charles parish were aroused to indignant protest and threats were freely made that the torch and the rifle would be employed to prevent the transfer of the leper colony to the point selected. At a meeting Wednesday the board heard vigorous protests of the citi zens of the two parishes, but decided to take no action at present. The pro testants concluded that the board was determined to at least attempt to es tablish the lazaretto in Jefferson. The result was that during Wednes day night the proposed home and other buildings on the plantation se lected were fired and totally destroy ed. The facts will be at once reported to Governor Heard.
