Hr. McKinley Salute-d by Spanish
Ships—A Trip to Tallahassee Con-
templated—Wlll Return to
Washington Next “’eck.
. THOMASVILLE, Ga.,- March 23.—
President McKinley and Vice President
l—Iobart returned to the home of Senator
Hanna last evening much refreshed and
pleased with their trip to Jekyl island. .
The. visit has been one of quiet ,enjoy— ‘
ment throughout. Politics out not the
slightest figure. The meeting of Speak-
er Reed and the president was confined
to two exchanges of common courtesies
in the presence of a number of other
persons. At Jekyl the president was
made one of the large island family
and permitted to exercise his own pleas-
ure without any forced attention.
Nearly four hours yesterday were
spent in a pleasant water trip from
J-ekyl to Brunswick. Mr. N. K. Fair-
banks, Mr. H. W. Cannon, Mrs. Nelson
I'age,‘ ex-Secretary Bliss and ladies of
their families accompanied Mr. McKin-
ley to the latter place, At Brunswick
all the shipping, including three Span-
ish vessels, saluted the president’s cut-
ter, the Colfax. H. H. Raymond, south—
ern manager of the Mallory line, had
the big steamer Rio Grande ablaze with
bunting and also presented to the presi—
dent a good sized'Spenish flag from the
bark Tafalla, which had been waved in
salute as the president’s boat steamed
down the harbor to Jekyl last Monday.
It‘ was accompanied by the following
note:
“This is the first Spanish flag which
saluted President William McKinley
after the conclusion of peace between
the United States and Spain and is 'now
presented to the president at Bruns-
wick, Ga., March 20, 1899, with the com—
pliments of Rosendo Torras,‘ late-vice
consul of Spain."

political crisis of gravity, said to be the
most important since 1863, is now oc-

colonies, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, for
the purpose of reintroducing the ob-
noxious tariff bill taxing industrial im'-
plements and literature which the coun-
‘cil rejected on March 15, the governor
at the same time bringing in four new
ofiicial members to outvote the repre-
sentatives. The Jamaica association has
convened public meetings throughout
the country, and it has cabled to Mr.
Chamberlain explaining the gravity of
the situation.

The old saying that “appearances are'
fied one night recently, says the Phila-
delphia Times. Owing to the delay
caused by the snowfall, the cars of the
Seventeenth street. line that run down'
Chestnut were blocked for some time
in the northern part; of the city. When
the first of a. line of ten appeared at the
junction, they . again found progress
impeded. This time itwas the switch—
ing rail which was frozen tight, and
the united efi'orts of the motormeu
could not move it. .There were not
many people in the cars, but those who
were each in turn'applied his strength
to the switching iroiz‘fliven a burly
failed ignominiously. There remained
only one of the crowd who had not-
made the attempt. and he was, in the
parlance of the street, “a bloomin’
dude.” He had spent his time in the
car attentively chewing the end of his
stick and reading the advertisements .
with a self-conscious air. He was like
unto the flowers, gorgeously appareled.
A long brown paddock coat-surmount-
ed an unimpeachable dress suit- and
a large .bunch of violets dangled from
his buttonhole. He got OE and gazed
dreamily at. the proceedings. When
the negro failed. divesting himself of
the long coat, he threw it. to a motor-
man, and, grabbing the iron with ap-
parent ease, he forced back the rail
and held it. calmly 1n place while the .
seven cars passed over it. Then for the g
first. time the people noticed an um i
looked-for breadth of shoulders and '
depth of chest. “Say, mister, ain’t‘you
Sandow?” queried 'alittle gamin. “Not
quite,” laughed the dude. “I only
played quarter for Yale a couple of
years,” which again goes to prove that
appearances are not only deceitful, but.
untruthful.
Snow Stuggens the-‘Automoblle.
The automobile failed to come up to
the standard of the hippo-equus in the
blizzard. One with six-inch tires and

years. caused a blockade in Fourteenth.
