The President and His Party in the Berk-
shire Bills—Visited the Country Homes
of John Sloane of the D. L. & \V. R. R.
and of Lawyer Joseph Choate.
North Adams, Mass, Sept. ’27.—Presi-
dent McKinley and his party attended
the Congregational Church yesterday,
and the President stayed to Sunday
school. ' - '
Saturday morning a visit was made
to the Berkshire houses of John Sloane
and Joseph,Choate. The home of Mr.
C-hoate is on a hillside overlooking the
village of Stockbridge. The carriages
Were taken into Mr. Choate’s grounds,
and the President was greeted with
great cordiality. A luncheon was soon
served. Many of the Stockbridge cot—
lagers were introduced to Mr. McKin—
ley and the members of his party.
At 4 o’clock .in' the afternoon the
President laid the cornerstone of a
library and memorial hall.
of Adams has by vote decided to spend
$40,000 on this building, whichwvill be
a memorial to the-~Uni-on soldiers who
fell during the war, and also a public
library of handsome appearance. The
names of Grant, Lincoln and Washing-
ton will appear in letters across its
stone front. George Sayles Post, G. A.
R., escorted the President to the site of
. the new building. The cellar and part
‘ of its foundation are already built. A
handsome American flag hung from the
derrick which held .the cornerstone.
There were 3,000 persons gathered about
the place.
The cornerstone was then laid by the
President with a silver trowel. Ascend-
ing the platform, he took his seat, but
there were loud cries for a speech from
him. Finally he arose and said:
"‘MrrCommander, my Comrades and
Fellow Citizens: It has given me very
reat- pleasure to participate with the
citizens of Adams” in this memorial
service, a service which will be remem-
bered by the people of this town, be-
cause it intended to perpetuate patri-
otism and is the testimony of patriotic
devotion. You have authorized by your
,vote the erection of this building that
you may commemorate the
and sacrifices of the brave men who
went out from this community more
than thirty years ago, willing to give
all that they had, and the best they
had, that the Union might be preserved
and the flag continue to float in honor.
Every memorial building like this,
every statue erected to the soldiers of
the war, is a monument to duty well
done, and is a lesson in patriotism to
the generations that are to follow.
A SENSATIONAL SUICIDE.
E. L. Burnett, of Elmim, Leaves a
Letter.
Canandaigua, N. Y., Sept. 27.——The re-
mains of E- L. Burnett of Elmira were
found on the shore of Canandaigua
Lake Sunday. On his per°son was the
following letter:
Charles Hazard, A. M. DeWitt, and
01d Judge Pratt wrecked my life, eight-
een years ago. The vendetta is still
open. They are dead, and I follow into
hell, if need be. E. L. BURNETT.
Elmira for references.
Mr. Burnett came to the Webster
House on Friday and registered as" E.
L. Bronson of Buffalo. He disap-
peared on Friday night and was not
seen, again until his remains were
found. In uhis room was a satchel in
which was, among other things, an
empty vial bearing the label ”mor-
phine.” He was about fifty years of
age. A remarkable thing connected
' with the death of Burnett is the fact
that Hazard committed suicide by
drowning in the Hudson River at Fish~
kill on Friday night. ‘The latter was
at one time a well-known publisher in
Elmira.
TUNNEL CQMPLETION PLANNED.
New York and New Jersey Ma)" Yet
Be Joined Under Water. '
New York, Sept. 27.——-After five years
of inaction the Hudson River Tunnel
Railway Co. begins to show some signs
of life. Lawyer Daniel Lord, of the firm
of Lord, Day & Lord, has filed an auxili-
ary petition in‘ this city, asking the
courts to authorize thewinding ‘up of
the affairs of the company, A similar
petition has also been filed in New Jer-
sea.
'This “winding up” does not mean
that the company will pass out of ex-
Istence, or that the submarine project
.is to be definitely abandoned. 'On the
contrary, these preliminary legal pro-
ceedings point to a very active resump-
tion of this important work.
; The great tunnel was begun in 1874,
and work upon it was continued until
1882, when the death of the projector
led to many complications.
Of this excavation there now remains
only a completed and perfect length of
1,500 feet on the New Jersey side and
some 900 on the New York end- During
he past five years many efforts have
een made by the stockholders to re-
uscitate the enterprise.
SnOw and Severe Storms.
Astor'a, C‘:'c., Sept. 27.—The steamer
lder has anived from Skaguay and
Iyea, bringing twenty-three passen-
'ers. The weather delayed the steamer
nd she had to put into Mainado for
cal, otherwise the passage was an un-
ventful one. Purser'Lambert s’aid:
“White Pass has. been almost inac-
essible to any one, and is quite so now.
now is falling and severe storms have
Cded to the already great difficulties of
ha: route. fl-tegiay is dead.”

says that he has no intention of

at Corbett must defeat Maher, God-

MAY COMPROMISE ON BLISS.-
I'l‘he llln'chlne Slate for Greater Nev:
York.
' 'NeW York, Sept. 27.—The plan ti:
nominate Gen. Tracy for Mayor is tc
be carried out, apparently with ‘thc
expectation that he Will remain in the.
field as .the Republican candidate‘if Mr.
Low remains in the field as the Citi-
zens Union candidate. ‘The politicians
say that when the convention has fin-
ished its work and left the candidates
in the hands of a. committee having
power to fill'vacancies in the ‘event 01
withdrawals, Gen. Tracy might offer tc
withdraw in favor of a fusion candi-
date if Mr. Low would also withdraw.
Such an offer, it is. said, might be ac-
cept d by Mr. Low and the Citizens
Union leaders if they thought that the
candidacy of Mr. Low had become
hopeless, and then there might be an
agreement to unite in the nomination
of Cornelius N. Bliss. While Mr. Bliss
has declined to be considered as a can-
didate, it was said he could not weIl
refuse to accept a union nomination un-
der circumstances which seemed to
make his candidacy necessary to keep
the greater cityout of the power oi
Tammany.
CORNELIUS N. BLISS.
Senator Platt to-day announced the
slate for the Republican convention to
morrow, as follws: . , »
Mayor—Gen. BenjaminIF. Tracy.
Comptroll-er—Ashbel F. Fitch.
President of the Council—R. Ross Ap-
pleton, of Brooklyn.
Lieut.-Gov. Woodruff will be tem-
porary and permanent chairman of the
convention, and Dr. Chauncey M. De-
pewI or Edward Lauterbach will make
the speech nominating Gen. Tracy.
TO KEEP UP THE FIGHT.
Senator Elkins Says that McKen-
na’s Opinion Is Not Law.
Washington, Sept. 27.—An effort is be-
ing made with the President to have
him take action to nullify the opinion
of Attorney—General McKenna on sec-
tion 22, at least for the present. The
friends of the discriminating duties
have communicated with Senator Elk-
ins, and he has telegraphed the Presiu
dent.
The point made is that the Attorney-
General is merely the legal adviser oi
the President, and that the Executive
must himself order the suspension of a
law and assume the responsibility. II
‘has been pointed out to the President
that the Treasury cannot legally decline
to assess a duty until a judicial con-
struction is reached, and that‘ the
Secretary of the Treasury might be-
come liable for the loss of duties if he
ordered his subordinates not 'to col-
lect them, and could plead only the ad-
vise of the Attorney-General. It is
pointed out to the President that if the
decision were the other way the persons
paying the discriminating duty could
appeal #0 the courts, whereas now
there is no remedy,.and the Attorney-
General denies to the railroads inter-
ested the right of having their inter-
ests settled by the courts.
