APPLAUDED MUCIT.
The Chief Lxcciillve Declares Thai
"The Flag, Whenever Assailed,
Will Bo Carried to a Tri-
umphant Peace."
Platteburg, N. Y., Aug. 10. —Prosi
dent .\fcKinley, accompanied by Pri-
vate Secretary Cortelyou, left Hotel
Champlain Tuesday morning at a few \
minutes past 11 o'clock and was driven
down to the auditorium on the grounds
of the Catholic Summer School of Amor
tea at Cliff Haven, on Lake Champlain.
A triumphal arch of evergreens, inter-
laced with American flags, had been
erected at tho entrance to the grounds
and the auditorium and many of tho
cottages on tl.e grounds had been gaily
decorated with flags and bunting in
honor of the president's visit. The road
from tho hotel to the summer school
grounds was lined with people anxious
to get a glimpse of tho president. Ah
the president entered the auditorium tho
spectators arose and sang a song coin
posed fur the occasion and sot to tho
music of Donizetti's "El Puritani."
Rev. M. E. Lavelle, president of tho
Catholic Summer school, introduced
President McKinley. Father Lavelle's
speech was frequently interrupted by a
hearty applause, and when during tho
course of his remarks ho predicted that
the "many millions of people recently
brought under our protectorate would
make American citizens as loyal, as
sturdy and as true as those that are here
today," the audience cheered enthu-
siastically.
As President McKinley arose the au-
dience applauded, cheered, waved flags,
handkerchief's and parasols until he
made a motion for them to d. • i-1. lie
said:

give ex pre- - ion of my high apprecia-
tion of t.h? gracious welcome you have
given ma hero and the more than gra-
cious words of commendation uttered by
your president Whatever the govern-
ment of tho United States has been able
to accomplish since 1 last met you, has
been because the hearts of lit.! people
have b n with the government of the j
Unite 1 States. Oar patriotism is neither
sectional nor sectarian. We may differ
in our political and religious beliefs,but I
we are united for our country. Loyalty
to the government is our national crood.
We follow, all of us, one flag. It ;
symbolizes all of our purposes and
our aspirations; it represents what we
belie> ■ and what we mean to maintain
and. wherever it floats, it is the flag of
the free, the hope of the oppressed, and
wherever it is assailed, at any sacrifice;
it will be carried to a triumphant peace.
We have more flags hero than we ever
had before.aThey are in < vidence every-
where. 1 saw them carried by the little
ones on your lawn and as long as they
carry these flags in their little hands
their will be patriotism in their hearts.
That flag now floats from the homes of
the millioi % even from our places of
worship; it ■ seen from our schoolhous -s.
from the shops, the factories, tho min-
ing towns and it waves from tho camp
of the pioneer? in tho distant outposts
and on the lumberman's hut in ttie
dense forest.
*lt is found ill the house of the hum-
blest toiler, and what it represents is
dear to his heart. Rebellion may delay,
but it cau never defeat the blessed mis-
siou of liberty and liuinanity. Thank
you again for this most cordial and gra-
cious greeting."
He spoke slowly and deliberately, in
a moderate but earnest tone. Only once
did he raise his voice, when lie said that
the flag whenever it is assailed will "he
earned to a triumphant peace." The
ch• ••ring interrupted his speech at this

Ilermosillo, Mex.,Aug. 10.— One hun-
dred and fifty Yaqui Indians in the em-
ploy of tho Grand Central Mining com-
pany at Minas Preaotas, 00 miles south-
east of here, quit work Saturday and
Sunday started to leave tho camp
when they were arrested by Mexican
authorities and are now under a strong
guard; Several hundred more Yaquis
are in the employ of the company in tho
state of Uncus, but it is not believed in
view of the arrest of their tribesmen,
that they will attempt to got away.
There is a growing confidence i^ ho
ability of tho Mexican author!) •

CARNEGIE'S CONTRIBUTrON
He Semis Additional Funds to tho Anti-
Imperialist League Headquarters.
Boston, Aug. 10 —In transmitting his
latest contribution of $1000 to tho Anti-
imperialistic league, Andrew Carnegie,
writing from Skibo castle, says:
"I have asked my cashier to send you
another $'000 to enable you to carry on
the good work. I aril greatly pleased
with your reply to those who denounced
the true patriots as traitors. It is they
who trample American principles under
foot who are traitors, not we who stand
for the doctrines of our fathers."
In support of tho claims that Admiral
Dowey is an anti-imperialist, the league
offers official correspondence betv.ven j
the vaiious consuls and tho admiral.

IT IS SMALL POX!
Wi»at Is Fvldently a Cane of tlie l>readetl

In this City.
j It is the policy of the NEWS to give
j all the news obtainable and it often hap-
j pens that items which the management
j are sorry to publish are of much imprfr-
■! portanee to the general welfare of the
morals and h- alth of the citv. What is
evidently a well developed case of small
; pox made its aprearance in this city
' this morning whem Wm. Davis, a ne-
! gro who was brought to this city for
the purpose cf instituting suit against
I the railroad company, broke o.it over
I he upper part of the body.
Drs. Edwards, Ilonevcutt and Odell
went to the scene which is in the south-
western part of the city and made a
i thorough examination of the man an l
j each pronounced the breaking out to be
| a case of small pox.
j Dr. Edwards says: "If this is not a
j case of the disease I will be greatly
I fooled. The symptoms of the case are
! acrtrate and I have no doubt about it.
| You may say however that there will
j be no danger to the people of the town
i as the case will bo well guarded and a
pest house established to which all who
have been exposed will be taken. "
To a Nkws reporter Dr. Odell said
"ft will be a day or two before a physi-
cian could go on a witness stand and
- wear that the c i ;e is small p x. but
all the symptoms are those of the dis-
ease, Every effort is and will be taken
, to arrest, the spread of the disease and
every persoa who could possibly have
b-en exp i- 1 will be plac-d in a pest
house this afternoon and night."
