President and Mrs. McKinley left Wash- ington at 11 o'clock this morning for New York, where they will remain until Monday morning. They took the special car Oceanie, attached to the regular Pennsyl- vania railroad train. With the President and his wife were Adjutant General Corbin, Miss Duncan, Dr. P. M. Rixey, Assistant Secretary Cortelyou and B. F. Barnes, ex- ecutive clerk. In New York the party will stop at the Manhattan Hotel. The President will speak tomorrow night be- fore the Ohio Society of New York at a banquet at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Al- though the exact time of returning to this city has not been fixed, it is probable that the party will leave New York at midnight Sunday, reaching here early Monday morning. Secretaries Hitchcock and Wilson and a number of friends were at the depot to see the party off. Secretary Root’s Departure. Secretary Root also left Washington this morning, departing for a flying trip to Cuba. With him were Mrs. Root, Miss Root. Edward Root, his son; Col. Carter, assistant adjutant general; Private Secre- tary Coursey and Maj. Arthur Brooks. The party had the special car Coronet over the Southern railway, leaving at 11:15 a.m. It is expected that the trip will occupy fully two weeks, allowing for a week's tour around the Island of Cuba. The army trans- port Sedgwick is on her way to Tampa, and the party will embark on her at that point tomorrow for Havana. Secretary Root saw the President at the station just before the chief executive left for New York. It is known that the main object of the trip is to enable Secretary Root to confer personaily with Gén. Wood, and as the lat- ter will accompany the Secretary on his tour around the island there will be amplé opportunities for such conferences. Itis gath- ered from rather urgent communications that have been received here from Havana that, notwithstanding the apparent seren- ity of conditions in Havana and Cuba gen- erally, Gen. Wood has reason to feel grave apprehensions as to the future; not alone because of the possibility of outbreaks, but rather owing to the extreme gravity of im- portent questions that are pressing from all sides for immediate decision. Secretary Root believes that he will be better fitted when actually on the ground to give Gen. Wood the henefit of his counsel; hence the present trip. a Marriage Licennes.

Gratitade of Colored M covering His He was old and very black, bent with years and toil, and yet none happier than he as he stepped up and received from Dis- bursing Officer Rogers the envelope which represented a menth of labor for the Dis- trict. The amount the envelope contained was not large, save in his eyes, just $14. But {t meant much, very much, to the old ™an, a8 was apparent from the manner in which he secured it in his worn and tat- tered clothes. With a “Much ‘bleeged, boss," he hobbled off and gave way to the next man in the long line which stood be- fore the paymaster’s desk. .In a short while the old man reappeared. This time he was not happy. Tears flowed down his furrowed cheeks, and it was some time before he could explain to the big policeman that “‘I’se done los’ my money, sah. Ebry cent of it, sah.” Where had he lost it? he was asked, but his answer was: ‘De Lawd knows, sah. I Jes’ los’ it somewhar ‘tween dis here place an’ de avenue. An’ what's mo’ Ise nebber swine to see dat stuff agin.’ And then the poor old fellow just sat down and sobbed. They endeavored to en- courage him to believe that some one would find it and return it, but they could not convince him that it was not gone forever. The big policeman and Disbursing Ofticer Rogers and about every one else were feel- ing almost as badly over the old man’s loss as he did, when in came a man who in- quired if anybody by the name of James Chew had lost an envelope. “Dat’s me, sah," cried the old man. “Ise de unfortunit one dat has done los’ dat berry ving.” x “Well,” remarked the man, as he pulled an envelope from his pocket, “you want to be more careful hereafter, old man. Here it is. Ido not know what is in it.” does, boss,” said the old fellow, fairly jumping to his feet, “dar's bacon an’ cab- bige in it, con bread an’ "Jasses; dar’s de Tent an’ de good Lawd knows what else in dat ar 'velope.

OTHER TRADES MAY BE AFFECTED Trouble May Even Spread to the Business in Canada. COLUMBUS MEN OUT, TOO ———E CHICAGO, Match 2.—War’is now on be- tween the International Association of Ma- chinists and the Chicago Association of Machinery Manufactifrers. As a result of the failure to reach an agreement between representatives of-the two bodies to discuss the questions In dispute, the executive com- mittee of the machinists’ association de- cided to call a general strike of machinists in Chicago, and by night, it is expected that practically every union and many non- union machinists in this city will have laid down his tools, the only exceptions being at the shops which have already signed the agreement. Question of Sympathetic Strike. The strike may take on a much wider range than at first anticipated. A meeting of the executive committee of all the metal working organizations in the city was held today, and the question of a sympathetic strike discussed. It is understood the sen- timent among the men strongly favors such action in case it is found necessary to help the machinists win their fight. Members of the executive council of the Interna- tional Association of Machinists were also started for other cities to investigate the Prevailing conditions, and, if necessary, call out the machinists. No strike, how- ever, has been as yet reported outside of Chicago, except in Columbus, Ohio, where, according to a telegram received this morn- :ng by President James O'Connell, every union man has quit work in obedience to grders from the union. Life and Death Struggle. President O'Connell said today that the trouble had now developed into a life and death struggle for the union, and that there were possibilities of the strike extending to all the metalworking organizations in the country, which would affect nearly 500,000 men. The machinists in Canada are also under control of the International associa- tion, and the strike, according to President O'Connell may also be ordered in that ter- ritory. At present no trouble is anticipated be- tween the union machinists and the var ous railroads terminating in Chicago; as on many of the lines grievances have al- ready been settled. The meeting of the representatives of the metalyorking organizations, called to de- cide the question of a sympathetic strike, took on a broader scope than at first & pected. It was practically a meeting of the business of the Material Trades Council. which includes the unions in every line of metalworkers in Chicago. The meeting re- sulted in a decision on the part of the union representatives to support the ma- chinists in all respects and to order sym- pathetic strikes at once wherever that ac- tion was found necessary. This may in- volve nearly 50,000 men in this city alone. The business agents expressed themscives as confident that their action would be % lowed by the material trades councils in other cittes. _—— Real Estate Transfers.
