This Effect Immediate ly Sent, to Brooke by the Secre tar7 of War. Washington, May 20. President Mc Kinley returned to Washingtoi this afternoon,. ful)y rested after his vaca tion. He spent the last day of his vacation leisurely making- he trip through the Shenandoah valley. At Strasburg- Junction an old fellow shouted , "Mr. President, I expect you will find it--pleasanter going down ihe valley today than on another occa sion." Another old fellow hobbled up to the station tnd said, "Mr. President, I want to shake hands with you, and I am an old rebel, too." At Cedar Creek, President McKinley said: "Here's where they drove ,us pell mell across the creek but we came hack and took our old ground." A great crowd awaited the train at Harrlsoriburg-, Va. President McKinley was- escorted -to the -public square, where Colonel Roherer introduced him, saying: "Let me introduce to you as the president of the "United States one whom we can call, for the first time in forty years, the presiden of a united country.' President McKinley acknowledged the welcome aadN said: "I heartily join witK Colonel Roherer in. cohgratu- latiows upon a united country. We are now happily one in purpose and one in patriotism. It rests on us and those who follow us ito see that this union of states, established by)ur fathers, rep- presenting, liberty and justice, shall not perish from earth." (Prolonged ap plause.) At Woodstock several old confeder ate soldiers were present, with General Williams at "their head, who addressed the president, saying: "I am one of those who shot at you. 'I'm glad we missed you, and now I'm glad to take your ,hand." President McKinley thanked them for their kind - senti ments. Immediately after his return McKin ley had a conference with Secretary Alger, at the conclusion of which Sec retary Alger cabled General Brooke at Havana to proceed- with the distribu tion of the three million dollars, on condition that the Cuban surrender their arms. This marks an end to the embarrassment arising from the negotiations between Generela Brooke and Gomez. Although the agreement between Gen eral Brooke and Gomez was a modifi cation of the original instructions, it is of such a character that President MeKinley and Secretary Alger had no hesitation in-approving it after alf the facts in connection with tne matter had been fully discussed.

Meeting Called bv Colored Women, and Opened by One of Them. She Said Neroes Ritrntw a.-a O "J bliW(U Should Be Legally Punished, Pro vided White Women Testify. Boston, May 20. There was a lar- attendance today in'Chickering hall at the. meeting called by the colored wo men to protest against the lynchings in the south. The soeakera inninri Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, Mrs. Edna JD Cheney, Mrs. Alice Freeman 1ViI- wona$ Kuffln Ridley, Mrs. Edwin jj. jneaae and Mrs. Tiivtioi- t Wilson, the last named colored. Mrs. Wilsdn presided over the meet ing. She began - the. speaking with a" carefully prepared address, wherein she gave figures showing how lynch ings have increased from 108, in 1888, to 177, in 1898. Of the number of negroes lynched, less than., one-fifth of them, she alleged, were accused of crimes against women. There was no reason Uwhy lynching should be resorted to In the south, for-all the officers of the law were whites. Any negro rightly accus ed should be legally punished, provided the white woman tells her story in op en court and allows herself to be cross examined. ' ' - " , "We stand on the constitution," ehe added, "and demand that the negro be tried and be confronted by his accus ers." Mrs. .Cheney said; "Th noma orflft and cunning and the 'spirit is being: brought to bear on "the. negro, question that was brought to bear on the civil war. Southern men are trying to de stroy the basis ofjthe colored man as a citizen. The south does not regard them as citizens." Mrs. Ridley said: "Thia trouble re sulted from the teaching of contempt for the negro which the white man gave his children." Mrs. Julia Wardv Howe said, the in fluences of slavery had outlasted the system and were still working. She. said the negro had little to expect from the men who smeared his body with oil and burned him at the stake. The way to meet the situation was for the government to send to the tates where lynchings occur some military repre sentation of its authority; She de plored the weakness of the government in meeting the issue. Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer, pitied the- white race as much as the black, forthe disgraceful, heartbreaking acts of brutality toward the negroes were more serious in- its effects -upon the "whites than on them. The speaker urged an appeal to the southern wo men. Mrs. Mead said it would be well for the women of the south to remember, in-approaching uthe question of the ne- , gro, that it was their own fathers who k were responsible for-the mulattoes..Tb speaker referred scathingly to the press; ident and the badge Jncident and said';' what the south wanted was a "spirit ' of inquiry and not of rebuke" from the north. - f '"What we, need in the south," she; idded, "is Justice., Crime never was-, lessened by brutality." - 200 Pairs Worth 90c AT 60cts PER PAIR We have just closed out & large man nfactnrera Btock of extra heavy Sterling Ril Ter Lipk Cnff Buttons which we. are o'ffering:. for ($0 cents " per pair aa long as tlieyJast .
