I can omise to the people of San Francisco, of t-ro; Angeles, of Oakland, of San Jose and rn(her California cities, a treat whenever ey have the chance to hear him. He talked politics to-night. He has anked Politics at other cities in the South. may be some question as to the dell- cy of this, but there is no question of the and ability when he make his oratorical tack. And he fits his words into seu-clseices with the skill of an artist completing mosaic.

Some of the sentences are long, they balance beautifully. I'll recoiu- end him to anybody who wants to hear a .1 "leech well spoken. tTV A Speech Well Spoken. tim voice is low, out ii carries wu. 1 1 i A ft.

i And qh, what a splendid politician. He Ii me here into a Democratic community JgCd made a plea for all his Republican doc-Zi nes, and it would be a sorry crank who aid take offense. Suu'We always will have arrferences," he Ti to these men of Louisiana, "men who 'i0nk for themselves always will have cou-? on public questions and those conductions cannot always be the same. But iat are our differences?" Talks on Politics. Then he went on to say that when his eyes 'ned toward ex-Congressman Blanchard felt that they had not differed on river '3 harbor appropriations.

'How about the Nicaragua canal?" shout-somebody in good Democratic fashion. 'I cannot pursue that, because it IB not to disclose top much unanimity," was quick reply. And we are all for Rood money and" Yity of It," he Insisted in closing out the foiects on which there could be no differ-, of opinion.

It is a wondrous thing to be a "smart" man, and this of ours is "mighty smart." Good Tante and Tone. lis talk'on New Orleans, on Jefferson and Si ffkson, was in good ta3te and good tone. ti 6 words were not only well used, but vl inflected. Occasionalyy there was a at: of flapdoodle about the old1 flag and rbning of "Stars and Stripes" sounded oj gularly like the bubbling effort of George "Perkins, but I'll pledge my word that J. 'Jody in California who neglects a 5' no to hear President McKinley make a tlech will miss a lingual treat.

i Jor the welcome of Governor Heard, Henry T. Gage can make him seem like choolboy speaking his first piece, and as fslc orator Mayor Capdeville is not to be (ii uispered about on the same continent with les D. Phelan. But if the Palace Hotel up a better banquet thT the St. tries had1 to-night, asd Pol- lSc will have to step around mighty lively.

Though New Orleai to-day out a good deal of bunting on Canal et and made a very pretty showing for a blocks, there was no such getir ral deco-on as we are accustomed to in Sat) Fran-o for similar events.

ut beyond this Fpaem of golden effttl- circling the President's carriage like iilr shine by the reflected glory of the occa sion the lesser actors in a great drama striving for the center of the stage. As a spectacle. It was not impressive. As an evidence of hearty good feeling It was all any man could ask for. New Orleans was doing her best to make the President wel come.

The Official Welcome. The train rolled in on time. It Is the habit of that train to be on time. All other trains stop in order that there may be no de lay. Then, when the train had rolled In, the whistles shrieked their welcome and the cannon boomed theirs.

President McKinley escorted his wife to her carriage, and then gave himself over to the bowing and scrap ing officials. He took his place in a carriage with Governor Heard and Mayor Capdevelle, and after the usual Southern deliberation the parade moved up between the banks of expectant thousands. President McKinley goes through that sort of an ordeal remarkably well. San Francisco has seen Grant's easy indifference, the smug insincerity of Hayes, the frowning condescension of Harrison. Well, McKinley really seems to enjoy It.

He bows and waves his hat with a smile that has an apparent touch of gladness In it. His pals face lights up as if this were the greatest fun he ever knew in all his life. No wonder they say in Washington that he is the greatest politician who has sat in the Presidential chair since Buchanan; and remember that a statesman has been described as a dead politician. I fancy that McKinley will have earned consideration as a statesman, and be may get there before he dies. The I'rcnideut'n Enjoyment.

It took two hours to get the President from the depot to his hotel. Secretary Hays' carriage broke down at the start, and that began the delays. After this the thronging populace and an efficient police made the progress tedious. Some in the Presidential party complained bitterly. Not so the President.

He took it all in the best of temper. Even when tile Governor, the Mayor and our old friend, ex-Congressman Boatner. had to make a flying wedge and carry him through the crush at the St. Charles and part an inopportune address of welcome by Carleton Hunt, Secretary of the Navy in Buchanan's Cabinet, he laughed laughed like a football player taking the ball down the field behind a successful interference. They cheered him clear to the elevator, and kept crying out for a speech, which at that time they did not get.

"I hope they haven't killed you," said Boatner, when he had deposited the Presi dent in his room. "Oh, kindness doesn't kill," chuckled the Presiddent, and then lay back on a couch as if he were just about tired to death. More lelln and Cheer. Meantime Mrs. McKinley had been graciously cared for by the committee appoint ed for that service, and the other ladies of the party had been "received" and made to feel at home.

After a little rest the Presi dent, with the Governor and the Mayor, arove out to view the illuminations on Canal street. Again the yells and the cheers, the tossing of hats and waving of handkerchiefs went on, and once more the crowd crushed behind the great visitor into the hotel. They were held back by policemen from Invading the banquet hail, but they stood in the lobby gaping pleasantly and let the night past. And the President stuck to it until after midnight, and no man in all that company ccuta jrave suspected that be did not enjoy every minute of the day. Somehow the good Lord always keeps the American people from having a fool for a President.

HE PRESIDENT AT VICKSBURG VICKSBt'RG May 1. Through the low valley of the Yazoo the Presidential special sped southward to New Orleans today. This was the first time a President had visited Vicksburg since the days of Zachary Taylor, and the Presidential party was received with the greatest enthusiasm. The party disembarked Just outside of the city at the National Cemetery, which is located on the site of tho plane where Pemberton surrendered to Grant at the end of the memorable forty days' siege. Sixteen thou sand Union dead are burled here.

The party drove through the cemetery and from the Grant-Pemberton monument they obtained a fine view of the Mississippi. Here was pointed out to the President the projected Yazoo canal. Then the party moved into the crowded, fiag-festooned city. At the Courthouse square, which was also elaborately decor ated, the President was introduced by Mayor Trowbridge and addressed fully 10,000 people. Hia remarks created much euthusiasm.

On the way back to the station the President's carriage was stopped to give him an opportunity to address several hundred children. JACKSON May 1. The Presidential train arrived here at 11 o'clock sharp, fifteen minute ahead of time. Hun dreds of people had congregated at the de pot and gave a royal welcome to the Presi dent and his party to the Mississippi capi tal. Governor Longino welcomed the President on behalf of the people and State.

The President said in part: This country of ours hw hen growing In the past few years, growing whether we wanted it to or not.

TAX OICOltK CAUSE A STRIKE British Miners Await Action of House of Commons.

LONDON, May 1. Whether or not the miners of all Britain will actually strike depends largely upon the trend of discussion of the. coal-tax resolution which will come up in the House of Commons to-morrow. It is admitted, however, by Liberals and Conservatives, that their action will have no effect so far as a repeal of the coal tax is concerned. The whole country condemns the strike, Although It is generally supposed the coal owners have been backing the miners with the object of bringing pressure on the Government to modify the coal taxation project, since the federation reached Its decision to strike some of the Influential owners are counseling prudence.

The miners' reason for advocating a strike appears to be based on fear that the owners will reooup themselves from the tax by an equivalent rt-duc-tion in wages. LOS ANGELENO CHARGED WITH A FELONY. Orphan Girl Who Was Taken Into J. B. Woods' Family Ordered Sent to Rescue Home.

He a Congressman, but had scarcely begun the'; political career that ended by placing him in the presidential chair for the second time. That McKinley was always popular with the Grand Army men was manifested during his pilgrimage to this city jvith them on the Occasion of their national meeting here. While he attained no great degree of prominence outside his own delegation, he was regarded as a leader among the Ohioans, and as such was tendered, many courtesies not usually extended to strangers.

Though coming from afar his membership of the House of Representatives gave him an acquaintanceship not enjoyed by the majority of the delegates, and his stay was marked by several social events Of considerable importance in which he- wai the guest of honor. 1 Benjamin F. McKinley of the postofflce, the President's uncle, says that his dfstln- guished nephew was favorably impressed with San Francisco at the time of his encampment experience. "He called at my home at that time and of course I was glad to welcome him," said "Uncle Ben" Mo-' Klnley, who speaks of his relation- ship. "He had not then thought of being' President, so far as I know.

At least, he said nothing about It to me. He appeared to be about the same as he has been ever since, so far as his personal maoaer concerned. He is always considerate and somewhat reserved in his demeanor.) "The first visit of the President to this city was several years before the encampment, and then he came simply as a private citizen and remained only a short time, devoting the most of his attention to hia relatives." TRAIN NOT TO TRAVEL FAST According to the Southern Pacific offlclalg, the President's train Is not to make particularly fast time on Its swing around the oon-i tinent. The idea to maintain a fair speed, only increasing it when unavoidable delay! make It necessary. The train will be given a clear track, as the right of way over all other trains, from the time It leaves Washington to-day until returns there, six weeks hence.

On the different roads ths train will travel It will be preceded by special engine. The latter will run flvt' minutes ahead, the idea being to reduca to a minimum any possibility of obstructions or accident. Trainmen of the Southern Pacific are wondering what engineers and conductors will be chosen to pilot the presidential special over the run from New Orleans via San Francisco trf Portland. It is understood that the head officials of the company in this city have left the selection of the em- ployees to the superintendents of the varl-ous divisions, they being considered tha best qualified officials to say who are th-most reliable and experienced enginaart, firemen, conductors and brakemen.

ERS FIX THE Committee Agrees That $275,000,000 Is the Proper Sum. PARIS, May 1. The Foreign Office has received a dispatch from Pekln announcing that M.

Pichon, the French Minister, presented to-day the report of the Committee on Indemnity. The amount China Is to pay has been fixed at 1,363,000,000 francs. How It. Is proposed that the Indemnity be distributed among the Powers is not set forth, but the dispatch docs not 'mention The Hague, it Is thought the ministers are hopeful of being able to settle the proportion to be received by each power by discussion at Pekln. Official advices received here from Pekln say the ministers are divided into two parties In the discussion to decide how China is to raise the indemnity.

France, Germany, Russia ant? Japan agree In favor of raising the customs duties, which can bo relied upon to produce a great part of the requisite sum, and the imposition of a duty on Juuks, which will constitute a tax on International navigation, and the taking over of some of the likin (provincial transit duties). On the other hand, tho United State and Great Britain decline to agree to an increase of the customs duties, but they do not appear to have presented a counter proposition. The faeH that the United States and Great Britain have joined hands on this question has caused surprise here. It was hoped the United States would stand with France and Russia. The result will be to greatly protract the negotiations.
