I SCENES AT OAKLAND M ) rumber of people. At Stockton, through gome misunderstanding, the inhabitants thought the train would stop thirty min- utes. The entire population was at the station and a stand had been erected alongside the track. But the train only halted two minutes. The President ap- peared upon the rear platform and bowed his acknowledgments to the vast assem- blage. He also shook hands with some of those who crowded about the platform. Since the route of the return journey to Washington has been published telegrams Lave poured in upon the President asking him to stop at almost every city and town. Secretary Cortelyou has uniformly responded to these appeals that the Presi- dent was going back to Washington by AT THs AToysx, _— ) OLE WHEN THE PRESIDENT’S TRAIN PULLS OUT. — the most direct route, and that only such stops as the necessities of the railroad companies required would be made. The President desires to go back to Washing- ton as quietly as possible.

Beyond Ogden, where the train leaves the line of the Southern Pacific, the route to Omaha will be over the Union Pacifie. thence to Chicago go over the Chicago and Northwestern. The last stage of the journey from Chicago to Washington will be over the Pennsylvania line. - Mrs. McKinley showed no. fll effects trom her journey up to the time Sacra- o there were no Il effects from the excite- ment attending her departure.

It was expected that the head of the | ation would address a few remarks to | the assembled multitude and a platform | had been constructed mear the track for | that purpose. It was so arranged that he | could step from the cars directly on to a railed elevated stage, but the train did not stop more than a minute, during which time the President shook hands with a | dozen or more people who could reach him and waved his handkerchief at the great throng. Streets Are Jammed. For several blocks the streets were | jammed with humanity, teams and ve- | hicles, and during the brief stop of the train there were hundreds of people who did net get a sight of the chief executive. Those who had crowded around the plat- form where it was expected he would peak were especially disappointed. As the train came rollin= into the sta- | tion the Boys' Band struck up a medley of national airs, but as the train came to standstill the music was stopped at the | request of members of the party on ac- count of Mrs. McKinley's iliness. When the cars stopped the crowd made an effort to close in around them, but this prevented by the police and the heavy which had been stretched around | the enclosure. | [ | | His ure to stop and address the | crowd was explained by the President to {the Rev.

Pecple crowded not the spaée around the statlon and the vacant lot to the east, but the roofs of the station and the adjacent houses were also thronged. Every point of vantage, even the tele- graph and electric light poles were crowd- ed with those who were bent on getting a view of the President. They waved hats and flags and cheered and shouted them~ selves hoarse. As the train stopped for a few seconds cpposite the platform there was a wild rush for the spot in the hope that Mr. McKinley would get off and make a speech. but in another second or o the train moved away.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May %.—The proposed trust of the coal joperators of Indiana is in line with similar movements now in progress in Ohio and Tlinois, and the prospects are that a gigantic combi- nation will be formed with a capitaliza- tion of probably $50.000,000. The trusts in | the three States will be under different | organizations, but, it is said, they all may be financed by the same source, which will make it equivalent to one combina- tion, as the object of the thres will be identical. John S. Bays of Sullivan, Ind., | who represents the trust promoters in this | state, the proposed combination | probably will be known as the Indiana Consolidated Coal Company, and will have headquarters somewhere near the center of the flelds. The minimum capital | stock will be $10,000,000, and it will be fn~ corporated under the laws of this State. The trust probably will close down a nume ber of mines temporarily, as the large operators assert that there is at this time an overproduction. Options have now been obtalned on over twenty of the | twenty-four large companies of the State, According to Mr. Bays, arrangements have already been made to finance the project, and he admitted that the same | persons who will furnish the money in | this State are also anxious to furnish the capital for the proposed trusts in Iilinois and Ohio. e NEW SALMON PACKING COMBINE COMPLETED Forty-Six Pacific Coast Canneries ‘Will Be Operated by the Syndicate.
