CANTON, Ohio, November 8.—President McKinley reached Canton at 9:25 a.m. on a special train, occupying the car “Cleo- patra." Accompanying him were Mrs. Mc- Kinley, Gen. Hastings, Assistant Secretary Cortelyou and Stenographer Rudolph Fos- ter. A number of the President’s old friends were at the depot to meet him, and gave him a hearty, although entirely informal, greeting. The fact that his train was not expected until an hour later, according to announce- ments, was responsible for many people who had expected to be at the depot miss- ing the train. The party took carriages and were driven to the M. C. Barber home, where Mrs. McKinley joined her sister, Mrs. Barber. The President merety exchanged greet- ings at th2 house and then proceed2d to discharge the duty that had brought him to Canton—to cast his vote. Accompanied by eight or ten of his’ old friends, he start- ed for the polling place of his precinct of the first ward, three blocks away, walking there and back, responding to the greetings of friends along the way. The voting place is the carpenter shop of Contractor Rimmell. Here the President greeted the judges and other election of- ficers with a hearty handshake. His reg- istration number was called out as No. 192, and he was handed ballot No. 133. It “34 when he entered the booth. The tain inclosing the booth caught over his left shoulder and was allowed to hang there, leaving the President in full view as he prepared his ballot. He laid his siik hat on the shelf of the booth and rro- ceeded to look over the big blanket hal- lot. He called on one of the Judges for a little information, then marked his ballot and came out to denosit it. “William McKinley,” called out the re- ceiving judge, as he took the ballot, omit- ting the street and number of tne voter. The President had been in the booth just one minute and six seconds. The President and those aceompanying him walked back to the Barber house, where the party from Washington will take lunch, and where the President will spend most of the time while in the city. WARSHIPS ORDERED TO SAMOA. Philadelphia Will Sail in Few Days— Yerktown to Follow. SAN FRANCISCO, November 8.—The cruiser Philadelphia has been ordered to Samoa, and will leave within a few days. The Yorktown will probably follow her. It is feared that the approaching election of a new king may result in a revolution, and it is desirable to have war vessels there to protect American interests. The contract for the American coaling station at Pago Pago has been let to a San Francisco firm, and the work will soon be begun. Not Ordered to Samoa. Inquiry at the Navy Department fails to confirm the report from San Francisco that the cruiser Philadelphia has been ordered to Samoa. It is said that no naval vessel is now under orders for that place. Just Lefore the war broke out the department had arranged to send the old crutser Mohi- can on a long yage through che fast Indies with apprentices aboard, and it was in contemplation that on her way home the ship would run as far south as Samoa. But this purpose was abandoned at the out break of the war, and although ibe train- ing ship Adams is under orders to take a number of apprentices on a long practice cruise, she has not so far been ordered to include the Samoan Islands in her itin- erary. a Arrival of Transport Panama. NEW YORK, November 8.—The United States transport Panama, from Santiago and Havana, about whose safety fears were entertained, creating considerable excite- ment prior to her arrival at Havana, has arrived In quarantine. There are on board about 400 persons, including a number of sick men. Captain Hanlon was much surprised to learn that any uneasiness had been felt for the ship's safety. He said that shortly after leaving Santiago he ordered the ves- sel cleaned up between decks. Numerous hoxes and other material were thrown over. board and drifted toward shore, and this no doubt gave rise to the report that the transport had been wrecked. ——————— Declared to Be Insane. A marshal’s jury today declared Gabriel E. Navarro insane and directed that he be committed to St. Elizabeth’s Asylum for treatment. The jury found that Navarro, who is of Mexican extraction, is laboring under the impression that he is being per ted. He is the man who appeared last September at the War Department, seeking the pro- tection of the Secretary of Wat. A clerk at the department referred Navarro to the chief of police, and by the latter he was sent to the government hospital for the ane. —_ Commission Organizes.

MAY “ACcEPT REWARD. Decision Affecting Gifts ef Appre- ciation Made to Police. Detectives F. M. Helan and-T. B. McNa- Mee some time ago recovered certain goods alleged to have been stolen-from the resi- dence of Mr. Clarence F. Norment. “Mr. Norment was so well pleased with the work of the local sleuths that he handed them, as a slight token of appreciation of their efficient work, a neat sum of money, which they promptly declined to accept. Mr. Norment subsequently. called upon Commissioner Wight, who has immediate charge of the police department, and left @ check of 850 for each of the-men. the Commissioner directed that the men be allowed to accept the money. - Speaking of the matter to a Star reporter’ today, Mr. Wight said that, while the Com- missioners do not desire that their action in this case shall be,taken.as an unyielding precedent im such ters, they do not see any impropriety in efther members of the police or fire department accepting dona- tions from citizens who tn such a manner express their appreciation of particularly fine work done by the men. But, explained Mr. Wight, under no circumstances should members of either department accept gifts of money or valuables directly, but must, upon being handed suth marks of apprecia- tion, forward the same to the Commissién- ers, through their superior officers, togeth- er with a written statement of the facts in connection therewith. Then, if the Com- missioners conclude it would. not be im- proper to permit an acceptance of the gifts, they will be delivered to the men through the proper chamnels. arene” aeons A REMARKABLE RECORD. Campaign Work Performed by An- sintant Secretary Davis, At Seattle, Wash., last night Webster Davis, assistant secretary of the interior, closed a remarkable campaign trip, deliv- ering his’ fiftieth address, after having passed through sixteen states and territo- ries and traveling in the neighborhood of 5,000 miles. Mr. Davis left this city on the afternoon of September 19 and opened the state campaign at Detroit, Mich., on the night of the 20th. From there he went into Indiana for three dates, and then to Mis- souri for three, but the dernand in the lat- ter mentioned state was so great that he made eight addresses in four days at dif- ferent points, five in Oklahoma 1n two days and ten in Kansas in five days. On Saturday, October 8, he opened the new Convention Hall at Kansas City, Mo., with an audience of 12,000, and then went over to Kansas City, Kan., and spoke to an au- dience of 8,000. From Kansas he went to Nebraska and made two addresses, three in South Dakota, three in Wyoming, eight in California and five in the state of Wash- ington. The reports from his meetings have been flattering, the newspaper accounts be- ing usually quite elaborate and sounding his praises in high terms. One feature dwelt upon has been that his addresses never gave offense to even his bitterest po- litical opponent. Private advices state that he is in the best of health, notwithstanding the strain of traveling and speaking. TO BE BROUGHT HERE. Many War Relics for the National Maseum. Orders were sent from the Navy Depart- ment today to the commander of the Leoni- das, at Norfolk, to~bring that vessel to Washington so that a great quantity of valuable relics of the war, and particularly of the naval battle pf July 3, may be transferred to the National Museum here. The Leonidas has a number of tive-inch rifles aboard, and all of the ordnance of the Maria Teresa except the big 11-inch turret guns, which could not be removed without lifting the 4urrets off the ship. The museum authortti@s have facilities for the display of the relics in an advantageous position. ——$$_$—_-+_____ INDIAN CORN IN GERMANY, Remarkable cregse in Importa- tions From) America. Commercial Agent Moore at Weimar re- ports to the State partment that. the past decade has witnessed a phendmenal growth in the importation of American In- dian corn into Germany. “The first im- ports,” he said, “took place in the fifties and were of slow growth at first, but dur- ing recent years they have been far more rapidly developed than those of any other cereal coming through the North sea ports. This rapid increase is a sign of the increase in German cattle raising, and the depend- ence of German farmers upon foreign cat- tle foods. In 1897 it was perhaps especially due to the damage caused by rain to the Oat crop. “The principal and almost only source of corn supply Is the United States. Bremen and Hamburg are the great corn-importing centers of Germany. In the 1897 the ar- rivals of corn at Hamburg were 618,361 ton: valued at $0,996,000; and at Bremen 242,954 tons, valued at $3,808,000. The in- crease over 1896 was most remarkable— nearly 50 per cent. “Corn ts fed to cattle in Germany. Its use as an article of human food has been practically unknown. There seems no rea- son why corn meal should not be as much used here in bread making and in the prep- aration of other food as in the United States. There is a field here of vast possi- bilities, and one that would seem to require but little effort to secure. —.~— VOLUNTEERS DIS HARGED. Army Officers Who Will Be Relieved From Service.

A message received at the Navy Depart- ment from a naval officer in New York called attention to the report that the Spanish cruiser Maria Teresa had been seen off Cat Island. The officer expressed his belief in the accuracy of the report and suggested to the department that the repair ship Vulcan, now at Norfolk, be sent at once to make search for the derelict. The department acted at once upon the suggestion. A telegram was sent to the commandant of the Norfolk navy yard, di- recting him to place the Vulcan in com- mand of Captain McCulla, the captain of the yard, and send her with al dispatch to look for the Teresa. A similar order was cabled to Captain Converse at Guan- tanamo, directing him to send the big wrecking tug, Potomac from that place rorthward on the same quest. She goes in charge of Commander J. E. Craven, and the department believes that she will be in the vicinity of Cat Island within thirty- six hours. The Vulcan was one of the ves- sels which was. towing the Teresa to Nor- folk when she was supposed to have foun- dered, and the department believes that she will reach the scene of the wreck in about forty-eight hours after leaving Nor- tolk. Location of Cat Island Cat Island lies about thirty miles south- west of the spot where the Teresa was last seen, and, it is said at the department, if the vessel did not founder outright within a very few hours, after having been cut adrift, she wouid almost certainly have fetched up on the shoal beach of Cat Is- land, for the wind and tide set directly on that beach. If so, the location ts much more favorable for saving the ship than the position occupied by her off Santiago, where the bottom was covered with rocks and the wreckers worked at great disad- vantage. Captain McCalla was selected for the command of the expedition because of his great energy and ability for this par- ticular class of work, and the officers de- clare that if any man can save the Teresa and bring her into port he can. Belief at the Department. It is the belief of the naval constructors that the Teresa took water aboard almost altogether through the decks, and not through the hull, as would appear from the first accounts of the loss of the shi. These decks were rude temporary construc- tions and were entirely unsuitable for rough weather. The fact that the reports indicate that the ship settled by the nead and that water ran into the coal bunkers and thence into the fire rooms goes to bear out the constructors’ theory. It also tends to give color to the report that the sh p may not have foundered at once, but have drifted ashore on Cat Island. It is pre- sumed that the wrecking company which had the vessel in hand will take immedi- ate steps to recover the ship if possible, in order to secure a large salvage, which was almost within their grasp when the sbip was cast off. ——____+ 0+ —_______ MARIA TERESA MAY BE AFLOAT. Lieut. Hobson Explains the Possibil- ities in the Case. From the New York Journal Today. When Lieutenant Hobson heard yester- day that the repair ship Vulcan and the wrecking tug Merritt had arrived at Nor- folk and that the crew of neSther of them had seen the former Spanish cruiser In- fanta Maria Teresa sink in the storm off the Bahama group of islands on November 1, his eyes sparkled and he sald: “I cannot venture an opinion, because I know absolutely nothing more than what I bave seen in the papers, but when I left Santiago I sub-divided the Maria Teresa into seven sections, which are all airtight, with the exception of the magazine section, which could not be repaired. I have no doubt that the remaining six sections were closed, and if they were I am positive that she would not sink unless the patch on the port side, under the turret, was knocked out, or some of her plates, under the great strain of a stiff northeaster, fell out. If any of these accidents happened she would, of course, after laboring some time in the heavy swell, have gone to the bottom. But if the patch held its place and the plates did not fail, she must be still floating about water-logged and will fetch up on some of the reefs to the westward of San Salva- dor, where, I regret to say, it will not take long to pound a hole in her bottom.’ TO LEAVE CAMP MEADS. When the Regiments of the Second Corps Will Go South. Orders were issued last evening at Camp Meade by Gen. Young for the general move- ment of the 2d Corps to the new camps in the south.

Every dog has its day; so have some cats. The latest possession of the bachelor girl is a cat. Any cat will do, so it’s a cat and doesn’t scratch; scratchy cats are de- barred. In a certain sense it has taken the place of the mandolin. Time was when the mandolin formed a necessary part of the mise en scene, and by its help the bachelor girl could make very effective tableaus of herself with the wide ribbon around her neck and her tapering fingers straying over the wires and occasionally eliciting a plunk-plunk, merely that and nothing more. Now, the cat! When the bell rings the bachelor girl attitudinizes under an over- hanging drapery of soft falling silk, with the cat in her arms, and as the door opens to the caller she looks up with a helplessly appealing expression. The proper thing to do under the circum- stances is to stand for a few minutes over- come with aé@miration. ‘The visitor, if masculine, goes away with fitting visions of a charming home of his own where a cat plays a leading part. If the visitor is feminine she appreciates also the possibilities of the cat pose, thinks with regret of the obstinacy of the baby who refuses to allow itself to be folded into pliant attitudes, and determines to urge her husband to exchange the baby for a cat at the first favorable moment.

How to Make It So as to Aveid Mi Effects. From the London Standard. Dr. Goodfellow of the East London Tech- nical College gave an address recently in the lecture hall at the Agricultural Hall upon “Tea and Tea Drinking.” This was one of the series in course of delivery in connection with the international exhibi- tion and market now being held. Mr. R. C. Jarvis of Birmingham, president of a com- mittee of the Grocers’ Federation, occupied the chair. Dr. Goodfellow, who illustrated his lec- ture by a number of chemical experiments, said the most common of the stimulating beverages was tea. There was a great difference in the physiological effects of black tea as compared with green tea. The processes employed in the manufacture of green tea developed a much larger percent- age of the narcotic principle than was the case with the ordinary black tea, and the special mode of treatment of the very high- ly cultivated Chinese teas also accounted for the wide difference in aroma which the higher class developed. Tea upon analy- sis consisted for the most part of water cellulose and woody fiber, and there were several soluble constituents which readily dissolved in hot or boiling water—the solu- ble bodies in the infusion which gave to the beverage its characteristic properties. The most important and interesting of these bodies was a nitrogenous substance termed theine. This possessed exceedingly power- ful stimulating and restorative properties and acted chiefly on the nervous system, while in a minor degree it acted upon cir- culation. There was also another sub- stance in tea, which was an aromatic oil, and gave to the infusion a characteristic odor. When present in considerable pro- portions it had a narcotic effect upon the nervous system. A third soluble body, which was present in varying proportions, was tannic acid, and this constituent gave to tea its inju- rious properties, and was a powerful strin- gent. Tannic acid had the power of con- tracting the blood vessels and preventing bleeding, and it alse had a peculiar hard- ening action on the delicate mucous mem- brane of the stomach and bowels. In pre- paring tea the points to be borne in mind were to develop the aroma and to obtain the maximum of theine with the minimum percentage of tannic acid. In order to se- cure these results it was necessary to have two hot, dry earthenware teapots and as soft a water as possible. The earthenware teapots should be placed in front of the fire to get them theroughly warm; when the water came to the boil the tea should be placed in one of the hot teapots and al- lowed to remain with the cover on for about half a minute. Bolling water should then be poured in as quickly as possible and the pot allowed to stand under a cozy for four minutes. The time of standing would vary according to the character of the tea used. The infusion should be used at once. On no account was a second brew permissible. When the tea leaves were al- lowed to stand for a considerable time in the hot water notable quantities of the tannin were dissolved out. When, there- fore, hot water was added to the tea leaves that had been standing in the pot the re- sult was chiefly a solution of tannic acid, which, being astringent and biting in taste, the properties were looked upon as the strong tea of the brew; but as the stimu- lating properties of tea’ depended upon the theine it was obvious that special tea did not produce the refreshing effect for which tea was E Very often the deep common tea was due simply to the tannin which was present, and such tea was usually poor in theine. Very high-class téaxz did dot produce, even on lengthened infusions, deeply colored brews. Such teas usually possessed high percentages of theine with low ns of tannic acid. The physiolegical effects of drinking properly prepared tea in modera- tion were those of stimulating the nervous system, increasing the circulation and ac- tivity of the sweat glands, but theine acted as a general rouser to the brain and higher nervous centers. The increased circulation produced perspiration, so that it was scien- tifically true to say that e cup of tea cooled, the increased flow of perspiration leading to loss of heat from the body. When tea was plaints should be careful not to carry tea drinking too far. The golden rules ha laid down with regard to tea drinking were: Always to use good tea; use water which had just got to the boll; infuse about four minutes; do not allow the leaves to stand in the infusion; avold second brews and the used tea leaves; avoid tea at the principal meal, and, if suffering from heart or nery- ous complaints, only use the very finest qualities of tea, with short infusion. If this could not be afforded they should avoid tea altogether.

The ves- sel is the double-screw steamer Hitachi Maru, built of steel and having the follow- ing dimensions: Length, 462 feet: beam, 40 feet 2 inches; depth, 33 feet 6 inches; draught, average, 25 feet: gross tonnage, 6,150; displacement, 11,600 tons; freight ca- 150 tons. "The vessel is fitted with xpansion engines and four boilers, her indicated horse power being 3,500 and her speed 14 knots. The Mitsu Bishi Com- pany have begun the construction of a sis- ter ship to the Hitacht Maru for the same company. The Mitsu Bishi Company have lately completed at Nagasaki a granite dock 371 feet long, and their, shipbuilding yard has facilities for the construction of vessels up to 500 feet in length, and ground enough has been added for four vessels to be on the stocks at one time. Ships of 300 to 450 feet are now being built. Their No. 1 dock has been lengthened so that it can now take in vessels of the heaviest draught ne. | up to a length of 500 feet, while a patent | slip and siding can take vessels of over 1,000 tons register. The docks will accom« modate five vessels of ordinary size at on time. ‘The old obstacles that used to ii loving couples are out the marriage of date.
