PRESIDENT IS CAMPAIGNING Entertains a Large Audience at Quincy, Ill. With an Addres of Thanks. SECRETARY ROOT ALSO HEARD War Secretary Hakes Urgent Plea Thai Administration Should Be Upheld. Cannon boomed and bands played ■“Dixie” as President McKinley alight¬ ed from the Campania, his private car, at the grounds of the Illinois Soldiers’ home at Quincy Friday morning. The sun shone brightly, making almost a perfect day. Fifteen hundred old vet¬ erans, inmates of the home, cheered enthusiastically as the president and the members of the cabinet took car¬ riages to be driven between long platoons of soldiers around the beau¬ tiful grounds of the home. The president was first escorted to an improvised platform, from which he bowed and smiled in acknowledg¬ ment of the veterans’ greeting, shak¬ ing hands with as many as possible. Then, in company with members of the Ioctll committee, the president made a short visit to the Soldiers’ hospital. The presidential party was next driven from the Soldiers’ home to the city proper, a distance of two miles. Company F, Fifth infautry, the naval reserves aud Company F, Eighth Illinois infantry, escorted the party through the business district. The sailors were supplied with Hotchkiss guns, and as soon as president arrived in sight of the pub¬ lic square a president’s salute of twen¬ ty-one guns was fired. Six school children from all the schools the city, public and parochial, massed on the east side of the house, waving flags and singing tional airs as the president appeared. Address. The president and several members of the cabinet delivered brief addresses from the reviewing stand. The presi¬ dent said: “I thank you one and all for this patriotic welcome. It has given me uncommon pleasure to meet this morn¬ ing at the Soldiers’ Home, the men of 1861, the veterans who stood in the trenches and behind the guns in that year of great emergency when the life of the nation hung in the balance. It has given me like pleasure also to meet with the ex-soldiers of the Span¬ ish war from the city of Quincy and the naval malitia representin the pa¬ triotism of 1898. And it is gratifying to me to learn that yon sent from this city one of the gallant young officers who fought with Dewey in Manila bay. This is an era of patriotism, my countrymen. “The United States has never been lacking in gratitude to its soldiers and its sailors who have fought in its cause, and the cause of the United States has never lacked defenders in every crisis of its history. From the revolutionary days to the present, the citizens of the United States have been ever ready to uphold at any cost the flag and the honor of tbe nation and to take all the responsibility which comes from a righteous cause. There are responsibilities born to duty, that can never be repudiated. Duty unperformed is dishonor and dishonor brings shame which is heavi¬ er to carry than any burden which honor can impose. “My fellow citizens, I thank you for this more than gracious welcome and bid you all good morning.” Secretary Boot Speaks. Secretary Root spoke as follows: “Fellow Citizens of Illinois: My humble duty during the last two months is to do what you are doing here today by the encouragement aud inspiration of your presence, holding up the hands, strengthening the soul, and cheering the courage of the presi¬ dent, the chief magistrate of your be¬ loved country, in maintaining its honor and doing its full duty before God and man on the great stage of the world. It is fitting here, almost at the very spot where tie two ex¬ tremes of population, coming, the one from Massachusetts and Connecticut and the other coming from Virginia BOERS M1Y HELD. Most Encouraging News Benches London From Transvaal. A London dispatch says: Most im¬ portant received news Saturday from the Transvaal was probably night, which, if true, indicates that the South African republic is about to yield, or any in case, that the Boers have abandoned all idea of invading Natal. The news is comprised in a cable¬ gram from Newcastle, Natal, which says that farmers who arrived there from the Buffalo river state that the Boers are returning to their homes, leaving patrols along the river. The commanders will remain on the Freo State bor der. and Kentucky, ,he children of New England, and the children of tbe south, shonld join him in doing honor to the president of the whole country, north and south, east and west. There is no partisan¬ ship, no factionalism, in the business in which we are engaged in, helping President McKinley. “No man can shelter himself under the flag of party or justify himself by any declaration of principle in failing to stand behind the men of all parties and all creeds who lie today in the trenches in Luzon. “No man who knows his duty and is a true American will fail to do it. I have no fear, no question whatever, that in the’days and nights that the secretary of war is giving to seeing that the army of the United States is the best fed, beBt equipped and best armed army the world has ever seen, the sympathy and the support of the people of Quincy, of Illinois, of the country, will be behind him and be¬ hind the president. “The cause in which your soldiers are fighting and in which yon, Demo¬ crats and Republicans alike, stand be¬ hind them, is the cause of civilization and of peace. The men behind the guns in Manila today are in front of the schoolbouse, of law and order and will be followed by the men with their text book and Bible, bringing the arts of civilization, respect for law and order, and the welfare of country. No government can live for self alone, nor grow to full stature by the exercise of selfishness. No men and no party of men can be bound to tbe performance of a mission of the great republic for the regeneration and elevation of man¬ kind. It is following today as it has followed in the past, the lines marked out by a Providence superior to the wisdom of presidents and of legisla¬ tures, pointing tbe way of the great march of civilization. “My friends of the city of Quinoy and of the state of Illinois, the presi¬ dent of the United States will be faith¬ ful to the soldier who represents it. His cabinet will be faithful to him and I know that you,*one and all, will stand with us in sustaining and help¬ ing him the great work which you have laid upon him.” The streets of Quincy were literally packed with people. A street fair is in projection, and all along the line of march booths and arches had been erected, most of flaunted the stars and stripes and im mense pictures of McKinley FARMERS IN CONFERENCE.

NATAL NOT INVADED Advance of Boers Was Not Made As Reported, BRITISH REINFORCEMENTS ARRIVE Matting of Kruger’* Troop* on the Border It No Longer Feared by Great Britain. A London special of Thursday was to the effect that nothing important developed as to tbe Transvaal situation during the day. The Daily Telegraph’s dispatch announcing that the Boers had invaded Natal and seized Laings Nek, now seems to be without foundation. The government has received noth¬ ing to justify the report, although such a move on the part of the Boers would naturally cause little surprise. The British position in Natal was rival considerably strengthened by the ar¬ Thursday of Indian transports with reinforcements of abont 2,500 infantry, cavalry and artillery, all of which will be promptly sent to the front by train, and with their arrival at Glencove and Ladysmith, the Brit¬ ish advanced camps and lines of com¬ munication will be practically safe¬ guarded against the risk of a success¬ ful dash across the frontier by the Boers. The military authorities apparently no longer fear the massing of the Boers along the border, and In fact it has been provided that the Boers shall not make a sudden invasion into the territory. The Natal authorities are rather pleased with this, because they argue tbe tension of waiting will tell severely on the Boers’ discipline; and, moreover, they will soon exbanst the little forage there is near the border and be compelled to fall back on their base, beoause, in view of the defective commissariat, they are unwilling to advance in Natal leaving behind them a foragelees veldt.

It appears to he established by long continued prae tice, and, so far as I am able oh in vestigation to discover, without pre¬ vious challenge.” But even if this objection were well founded, the attorney general says, he does not think the accused should be allowed to avail himself of the objec¬ tion now, because he proceeded to trial without objection to this alleged misjoinder, aud permitted the court to enter on the investigation of all of the different specifications, and himself brought forward his defense as to each of them. The objection should have been promptly taken to be made available. PRSEIDENT (JOES WEST. White House Party Leaves Washington for a Two Weeks’ Trip.

Admiral Stated That the Situa¬ tion Is Very Urgent. A Washington special says: The president, Wednesday directed iho immediate dispatch to the Philippines of a number of vessels of the navy, in¬ cluding the cruiser Brooklyn and gun¬ boats Marietta and Machias. The ac¬ tion is the result of Admiral Dewey's interview, in which he went over the Philippine situation with the presi¬ dent. The orders given are in line with the expressed determination of the president to furnish the army and navy every resource for stamping out the Philippine insurrection at the earliest possible time. At Admiral Dewey’s extended in¬ terview with the president the former went into the Philippine situation at great length, explaining carefully the existing condition of affairs and his views of the outlook, concluding with an earnest recommendation that the Brooklyn and some other vessels be sent at once to the Philippines. The re-enforcement of the present fleet of the Asiatic squadron he urged as necessary and said their dispatch should be direoted as early as possible. The president immediately communi¬ cated with the navy department and instructed the seevetary of the navy to issue an order carrying out the ad¬ miral’s recommendation and to aee that they be got in readinea* at once. The Marietta and Machias, beside* the Brooklyn, will be designated by the navy department along with several other vessels whioh have not yet been selected. The Brooklyn is now with the other vessels of the North Atlantic eqnadron off Machias Tom|>kinsville, Staten Island.. The and the Marietta are at pres¬ ent oh waiting orders. These re-en foreemonts will- and considerable strength to tbe Asiatic squadron and the administration believes their pres¬ ence will fcave a material effect in ex¬ pediting the end df the hostilities. The Brooklyn is an armored cruiser of the first rating, carrying twenty main battery guns and having a total displacement of 9,215 tons, and is so well thought of by Rear Admiral Schley that he desired that she bo as¬ signed as his flagship in the new south Atlantic squadron. The Marietta Is a composite gun¬ boat of 1,000 tons displacement and with a main battery equipment of six guns. The Machias, with a displacement of 1,177 tons, carries a battery of eight guns. Their commanders are all vet¬ erans of long experience in the ser¬ vice. The Brooklyn is commandefl by Captain Theodore F. Jewell, who has seen fourteen years of sea service and much mmre than that on shore sta¬ tions; the Maehias by Lieutenant Com¬ mander Leavitt C. Logan, with fifteen years of sea service, and the Marietta by Lieutenant Commander Edward H. Gheen, whose record shows seven¬ teen years of sea service. The Brooklyn’s formidable equip¬ ment will make her of invaluable gen¬ eral service, while the Marietta and the Machias are expected to be of much usefulness in the numerous shallow waters about the archipelago where larger craft cannot go. It is not known how soon these vessels can bo ready, bnt their orders are to get away as early as possible, and no delay is antieipated. Their commanders will report to the depart¬ ment when they are ready to proceed and on arriving at Manila will report without delay to the admiral com¬ manding the Asiatio station, for or¬ ders. BAIL REFUSED ACTRESS. Judge JS-ttIll Remands Miss Julia Morri¬ son to Prison. At Chattanooga, Tenn., Wednesday, Judge Floyd EstUl refused to grant Miss Julia Morrison, the murderess of Actor Leidenheimer, bail, and she was returned to jail to await the January term of court. When Judge Estill announced his decision Miss Morrison broke clown and wept bitterly. Iu delivering his decision Judge Es till stated the proof agaiust the pris¬ oner was of such a damaging nature that, under no circumstances, would ho admit her to bail. He said the state had conclusively proven that the murder was malicious, willful and premeditated. DEWET IS DETACHED Admiral Is Formally Relieved of Flagship's Command. HIS PENNANT WAS HAULED DOWN. Flag UuttsMt Brumby and Lieutenant Caldwell Are Alto Detached From Duly Temporarily. A Washirgton dispatch says: Ad¬ miral Dewey made an early Btart Wed¬ nesday to fill a number of engagements. A'tar breakfast he joined one of his as¬ sociate officers for a long stroll, and on returning, proceeded to the navy department accompanied by Admiral Farqubar, the new com¬ mander of the North Atlantic station, aud Captain Lamberton, his ohief of staff. Few people were aware of the ad¬ miral’s coming, so there was not much of a demonstration when he entered the department. The admiral went to see Secretary Long and talk over his plans for tlie immediate future, and as to these, Secretary department Long gave notice that the perfeot liberty was willing to give him to do as he pleased. The admiral was, therefore, at his in¬ stance, detached formally from the Olympia. Later in the day the exec¬ utive officers of the Rhip at Tompkins ville was telegraphed to haul down his flrg and thus terminate his connection with the cruiser which for more than two years has been his home. The detaohing of Admiral Dewey from the Olympia had the effect of de¬ taohing Lieutenant Brumby, his flag lieutenant, and Lieutenant Caldwell, the admiral’s secretary, from the du¬ ties they have heretofore performed for him. An order was issued, how¬ ever, directing these officers to report to the admiral in connection with his shore duties. This is only temporary, to allow the admiral to catch up with the mass of correspondence, and is not the assignment of a permanent staff. After hie visit to New England, Ad¬ miral Dewey is expeoted to return to Washingtan to meet his colleagues of tfee Philippine commission. Secretary Long said that the admiral’s time probably would be fully occupied in the deliberations of the oommission for some months to come, and mean¬ while, in order to leave him free for this work, he will not be assigned to any naval duties. Further than this point, the department has not yet un¬ dertaken to define its plans for Ad¬ miral Dewey’s future. When all of these details had been arranged, the admiral walked over to tbe white house to keep an appoint¬ ment made tfith tbe president to dis cubs the Philippine situation. The admiral remained with the president an boar. President Schur man, of the Philippine commission, was also at the white house, and joined Admiral Dewey as he left tbe president.

The Georgia State Fair Promises To Be a "Hummer.’' A dispatch from Atlanta says: Ev¬ ery available inch of space in tbe ex¬ hibit halls of the state fair has been taken by exhibitors.
