PRESIDENT MCKINLEY
Is Enjoying Every Moment ol His Visit to
Massachusetts.
Holyoke, Maes.. June 19.—"I am en
joying this trip very much indeed, and
had no idea the country about here was
so beautiful," said President MeKinley,
today, as he was seated in a rocking
chair in the observatory on the summit
of Mount Tom. His whole manner and
the great improvement that is notice
able in his face bore out the assertion
and were an earnest of what results
will yet be accomplished, as far as rest
and enjoyment areconc Tiled, before the
New England journey is end'd.
Notwithstanding that the day had
been a long and tedious one, both the
President and Mrs. McKinley stood the
strain incident to the great demonstra
tion at Northampton and the journey
back to Holyoke very well indeed. Tin
trip to Mount Tom, in the late after
noon. was a welcome change from th.
turmoil of the morning, while the quiet,
homelike pleasant evening hours were
a litting climax to a very busy day.
Almost the first incident of the day
was the narrow escape of the Presi
dent's carriage from being struck by a
runaway horse, just as they emerged
from the Whiling residence, prepara
tory to taking the train for Northamp
ton Hut a miss is as good as a mile
anu there were 20 feet to spare in this
ease, so the only harm done was sim
ply a little excitement for the moment.
The entire morning was tak- 11 up
with tile visit to Northampton and
Smith college. The parade was an in
teresting feature of the programme,
followed by the senior chapel day excr
eisi of the fill lose. Here tile Pr si
dent and has party occupied the plat
form and listened to the exercises by
the graduating elass of Iret young wo
men and to a resume of the w ork of the
year as given hy President i... Seely,
of the college. I
During these services, a beautiful
loving cup of cut glass, trimmed with
silver, w as prt s aited to Mrs. McKinley
hy I’.ethseda chapter, order of ICastern
Star, and later the entire party, with
the exception of Mrs. McKinley* wet
taken for an hour's drive about tit'
city.
The only sp* rial incident of this dm
was when the President, noticing a
venerable gray haired man seated in a
chair near the curbstone, ordered Ills
carriage driven near th spot while li
shook hands and spoke a few words to
the aged gentleman. He was Urn.

unteers. during the recant war. at
which place Mrs. McKinley had been
resting while the others were seeing the
city. lie fore they entered the carriages
again. President McKinley went out
upon the grounds and shook the hand
of each member of Co. I. which had
done escort duty for him during the
pa ratio.
N'niwithstanding the lateness of the
hour when the palatial ear “Uoekrim
mon” reached the Whiting home, some
of the members of the party decided
to continue on the South Hadley in or
der that they might witness portion
f til-- seniors' presentation of "A Mhl
sumirv r Xight's Dream" at Forest
park. Those who made this journey
were Abner McKinley and wife. «{corgi
K. Morse and wife. Miss Helen McKin
ley. sister of the President: Miss T’uck
i of Canton. )hio, and Mrs. G.
K. (Hidden of Boston.
M W. B. Plunkett of Adams, who
will lie the President’s host after n. xr
Wednesday, left the party at the sta
tion and took the train for Adams.
Those who went to South Hadley re
turned about T.:io and a re-union was
held at the Whiting home. The even
ing's enjoyment consist*-! of a little
entertainment of a musical character,
the i|uartet from the Second Congre
gational church md Prof. W. C. Ham
mond. the church organist, furnishing
the programme. Incidentally a few
songs wo-:* sung hy all the company.
Such evenings as these are especially
enjoyable to the President and the
songs wen* mostly of his* sel-etlon.
During the evening. Senator Tyner of
Holyoke, called and introduced Sena
tor So.Ule of New Bedford. Senator Joy
of Winchester, and Senator Diseombe
of Falmouth, to the President.

BOTH EAGER FOR TREATY.
Favorable Progress being Wade on i-ranco
American Reciprocity Treaty.
Washington, June IP.—Negotiations
on the Franeo-Ameriean reciprocity
treaty wire continued at the state de
partment. today, and it is understood
that the next few days will determine
whether it is possible for the two
countries to come together on a tradi
treaty. Tiie concessions to he granted
to the I'nited Statis are already set
tled, so that it remains only to deter
mine what artleb s are to lie covered in
the concessions to Franci
Instead f picking out c< rtain articles
on which to grant concessions to this
country. the French proposition is to
grant the entire list of articles in the
minimum schedules. Tti return for this
i ’omniissioner Kasson has suggested a
eei tain number of articles on which re
duction of duly will be allowed to
France. The Palis authorities think
this hardly goes far enough and is
short of a full equivalent for granting
the whole minimum schedule to this.
The parly to the negotiations are
quite hopeful of securing definite re
sults within the next few days. It was
feared for a time that the unsettl 'd
condition of the French cabinet might
retard an understanding, but matters
are proceeding without rcfer-tiei to the
political uncertainties in Paris. Im
portant propositions in fact, have
passed bet ween Paris and Washington I

SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS.
James Bari ett of Georgia. Says They Arc Worse
Than Ever Before.
Washington, June 19.—The industrial
eommission has somewhat changed its
plan for tin* work of the sub-commit
tees during the summer months by re
voking its order for the appointment
of special committees to investigate
the elevator trust and the mining in
dustry west of the Mississippi river and
Instead of authorizing all the regular
sub-committees to sit during July and
August. Under this arrangement the
agricultural commission will take up
the elevator question, going to the
Northwestern states for this purpose
and the mining commission will go
West for the purpose of looking into
the conditions affecting mining in that
region. The latter commission will
hold its first meeting in Denver. July
12. The sub-committee on manufac
tures will make a tour of New Eng
land during the summer.
James Dan-eft, vice president of the
Georgia State Agricultural Society, was
the only witness, today. IP- spoke up
on the agricultural conditions in the
South, saying they were worse, today,
than they had ever been in the history
of the country. He said the cotton in
terc3|ts were especially depressed
prices, last year, amounting to a little
over four cents a pound.
The witness said that nearly all the
plantation labor was done by negroes
and that there was practically no im
migration because of the cheapness of
labor and the social conditions.
The railroad rates were such as to
render it impossible to longer make
waterrnellon growing profitable, and
the same was true of other garden
products. "The railroads are both the
daddy and the mammy of the trusts,”
he asserted.
Mr. Darrctt said the census of lS'.ta
had shown that Augusta, where lie
lives, was the most illiterate place in
lie United States and lie thought this
fact was due to the presence of too
much politics in the schools.
