Thi official announcement was given t". the press a few minutes after the Pn -ii'itiit! party with the exception of the President and his wife had left .the Pa I nee Hotel for Berkley, across the i,;iy, : attend the commencement' exer tiv at the University of California.. After- the morning consultation Mis. JtiKinhy's physicians were unable to j-.pnrt any improvement and were dis ,(,. 1 to Selieve 'that in some respects the i .tse hail reached a more serious K:!lv. Instantly, after this opinion .W privately reported to the President he ilef-i'leil to cancel his expected visit m I'.eikley. Simultaneously he caused. t!h' announcement to be made through Ni n taty Cortelyou that the whole trip . fi the Northwest and other part of the dn-iitry would be given up. There has l.w ii e ident in San Francisco today anil "tonight the most unusual evidences of both festival and sorrow. The whole ("ijnilation is profoundly depressed by .Mrs. McKinley's illness and by disap pointment over their inability to carry nut the week's program of entertain ment. Yet the splendid decorations and "illuminations which yesterday afternoon PMil evening set the city ablaze with ( ilnr aro still in evidence. The eye f nn rest nowhere 'in the town or in tha li.nlor except on a flag or a piece of Icuting or an electric light. The 1 'resilient remains almost con Ft;.ii:!y at the bedside of his wife. He did nor Ipnve the house today, and dur i he afternoon it was announced that In1 .had.- cancelled his engagements to visit the Bohemian Club tonight and to .mend the banquet of the Ohio Society tiitrnrron- nisrht. It is probable that he "i!: take part in none of the functions arranged in his honor unless Mrs. Mc Kinley's condition should improve im lii. liiately. The cancellation of the en-gag.-nvnt for Berkley caused the keenest f'i-nppointnient. The thirty thousand people assembled on the campus of the I Diversity of California had reached the lushest pitch of expectation at 10 o'clock when carriages were seen approachiug from the railroad station. The Presi-'b-nt of the United States, who was to present the diplomas to the four hun dred young men and Women of the grad uating class, was supposed to be in the tust carriage. The students'' band play ed a patriotic air and the three thou s'md students of the University gave The college yell. As soon as Secretary Hay stepped to the platform, accom panied by the other members of the 'al'imt and the Governors of California niid Ohio, it became noised about that lit" 1 'resident had not come. The cheer ing ceased, the great crowd was silent flnd n few of the young women in the .-!';idii,iting class who had expected to i" , h e their diplomas from the Presi de!! ' hand were .weeping' with disap pointment. The exercises of commencement day Mi r,, earried out perfunctorily and with o'tt enthusiasm. Secretary Hay pre ' titeil the diplomas in the President's nhsr-nee.. After the commencement ex- -ies the cabinet party had luncheon 'he home of President' Benjamin Ide Whc.drr, and later in the afternoon at t tided an informal reception at the h"isp of Senator Perkins in Oakland. ome lime ago it was planned that the I 'resident and Mrs. McKiuley should . i'i'f one of the largest botanical gardens i i;in Francisco to witnessthe ehris tening. iff a new carnation.

May 13. The early 1' iirrin issued by Secretary Cortelyou ri-'rding Mrs. McKinley's illness was ''de about 10 o'clock. "There has been but little change in ; McKinley's condition since last r -'it She has gained nn some respects, ''t lost in others."

They found that Mrs. Mclvinley had-lost nothing since the morning bulletin, ; and is more comfortable now than then.'' It was subsequently learned, however. that this bulletin- should not be taken j to indicate that there was any real im provement, in the invalid's condition. The dysentery, which has now contin ued for nearly a week, has not . yielded to treatment and the patient is able to retain little or no food on her stomach. A close' friend of the President said today: "Mrs. McKinley's condition is not alarming in the sense that her life despaired of. We have seen her rally from sickness so many times that we nave great hopes that within a few days there will be a marked improve ment in her health. The 'impression ought hot to go abroad that her illness is a result of travelling. W nether the fever, caused by the bone felon oh her finger, brought on her present illness is uncertain, but it is undoubtedly true that Mrs. McKinley's state of health was not caused by the fatigue of travel ling. We all know that she is a re markable' traveller. In the present casa we are relying on her powers of re cuperation which, in a constitution so frail, are certainly remarkable." G I R LS' SCHOOL AT PEKIN Closing Exercises inthe House of a Mongol Prince Pekin. Mav 14 The girls' school of the American Board of Foreign Missions closed for the year yesterday. The ex ercises were held in a confiscated build ing belonging to a Mongol prince,' under whose orders twenty girls of this school were massacred last year after the hold ing of similar exercises. The action of the board in providing a refuse for the school was sanctioned by the Ameri can legation. Un r,,- "... ' i.

The health au thorities have become greatly concerned because of the increasing number of smallpox patients discovered on incom ing steamships. The officials at quar antine have decided to take every pre caution possible against the landing of persons af Hit-ted with the disease, for should a few of them gain admission to the city, and remain long at large in the crowded districts an epidemic would most certainly result. Smallpox is widespread in Naples, and all of the cases brought to this port are from that city. Dr. Doty, the health officer, has given order to his assistants that all passengers from Na ples must be closely inspected before being allowed to land, and these in structions will be carried out to the letter until there is no further danger of contagion being imported. Dr.- Doty has also telegraphed Sur geon General Wyman at Washington reporting the great number of smallpox patients who have lately reached here and asking him to instruct his agents in The marine hospital service abroad Tcgarding the disease in Naples and the necessity of taking precautions against its importation. The city authorities have also been requested by Dr. D6ty to order a thor ough inspection of the various lodg ing houses and also to attend thoroughly to the matter of vaccination. The various steamship companies trad ing at Naples have agreed to co-operate with Dr. Doty in the plans he has form ed for barring out the disease, and through -their aid it is believed the source of dancer will be soon cut off. The agents of these lines in Naples have leen instructed to assist the in spectors in enforcing the regulations. A PERSONAL OPINION. The Powers Should Exact the Last Centime from China Pekin, May 15.

I The Strike in Albany Wears " a Serious Aspect ROCKS IN THE AIR Non-union Men Arriving in the City Meet a Warm Re ceptionSoldiers Charge the. Mob with Bayonets Albany, N. T May 15. There are now in this city over ' 2,000 National Guardsmen for. use ln suppressing the strike on the Union Traction roads and protecting non-union workmen who are being brought'here to take the strikers' places. The presence of the militia in Albany has but added to. the frenzy of the strik ers and their sympathizers. Not until the National Guardsmen reached here had fire-arms been brought into -use by them. This occurred when more non union men arrived this evening, when three shots were tired from the crowd at the non-union men. One bullet struck Gilbert HalL-of. Brooklyn, in the arm. He was taken to the Albany hospital. He was a watchman sent here by the Piukerton detective agency. The incident of the day was the ar rival of one hundred more non-union men from New York. Their coming was unheralded until the local papers put out . an. extra at 5:15 o'clock this evening. The men reached here at 5:30 o'clock. They received such a riotous reception f or two miles from the rail road station to the car. barns that one would have supposed that the people has had a day's notice to prepare for the coming of the men. Before the third signal corps, mount ed, passed along the streets leading to the station, which was the first notice that many had-of the arrival ot a sec ond consignment of non-union men, over two thousand people were massed about the square 'adjoining the exits from the union station. The corps, numbering but -forty-five officers and men, were reinforced by about .fifty of the local policemen. Previously a company of the Twenty-third regiment, accompanied by. Pinkerton detectives, had proceeded to the depot to await the coming of the men. As on Monday night several trucks were brought into use to convey the men to the Qail street barn. Five minutes before the train arrived the truck drivers struck. The strikers- and their friends Avere gleeful. Captain Wheeler of the signal corps, rode, up and down his line of mounted men and in a minute sabres were drawn. The difficulty with the drivers occasioned some delay' in the. men . emerging from the station. It was overcome by two sons of the proprietory of the trucks manning two of the wagons while the other two were driven Dy a couple oi ? H. coming non-union men The hew comers leftythe station with mirthful countenances. They were not an ugly crowd to look upon. Som$ carried dress, suit cases and all were 'fairly well dressed. They seemed to view the affair as a picnic and smiled as they beheld the crowd waiting to re ceive them. The men were loaded on the trucks quickly. The police and mil itary men were alert: to prevent disor ders at the start. 5 As soon, as .the first truck' was ready to .proceed oh its way Captain Wheeler threw ."'out a line to protect it. The corps was formed into a hollow square, Hanking the trucks on all sides and the mounted , men - pressed close against the vehicles to protect their charges as best they Could. No time was lost in starting for the Quail street barn, where the .new-comers were to be quartered. The.meri'had iot reached. Maiden Lane, a block from the station, before mis siles began to fly. The worst hailstorm imaginable was not comparable to the shower of bricks, stones and everything and anything that the crowd cou'd lay its hands on to hurl at the frightened beings" in the wagon. Pandemonium .had broken loose and the people seemed mad with thirst for the blood of the non-union mem They were? called all kinds of names- Cries of "Kill" the -,' aud other blood-curdling oaths were heard. The signal-corps didthele duty man fully, tit was a trying position for the men who. had never been called upon to perform such duty before.. This is the lnton niilitary organization of Al bany and iu its rank are many of the best athletes of the city. They charged l he-crowd many times. Whenever the people sot off: the sidewalk they rode the horses at them, but this was of no avail. As soon as the troopers and the wagons had passed by the .people-left the sidewalks and closed in from be hind. They followed, hurling defiance a the troops and threats at the non union men. The 'strain was too much for some non-union men, and at Mai dcr Lane three of them jumped from the trucks. One was hit with a brick in the face as he-jumped, but when they reached the sidewalk they were rot molested. The scenes of Broadway .n-cre repeated In-State street. Here the people who had congregated had J their pockets ' filled with stones. The J , v ., : ' signal corps pressed closely against the trucks and got right in the way of the missiles. Two of the troopers were, unhorsed by being hit withrocks. Neith er v?as seriously injured; ' They re mounted at Once and plnuckly resumed xheir march. Another trooper was hit" iii' the jaw and others were struck with bricks. When the "trucks left the station they were following one another, but as the fusilade continued the drivers and their passengers became demoralized, with fright. The crowd pressed on and the blood-curdling cries and hisses made a scene that was terrifying. The men hud dled and crowded about each other, threw their arms around one another and tried in every way t to protect themselves. Four leaped from the wagon and were not molested. - ' Washington avenue was at last reached. , This is the street in Lwhich the wealthy residents of the city make their homes; but here the assault was more fiendish and more bitter than else where. As the north side of the capitol was passed the bricks that went hurl ing through the air outnumbered any previous fusilade. Huddled and crouched down, fear written all over their faces, the non-union men continued on. - A couple more left. Then came the fipst shots of the strike. Just as Albany's fashionable club house, the Fort Orange, was passed, there was a loud report. It was repeated twice, and as the third shot rang out there was a cry, "My God! I'm shot." This was answered with a derisive laugh, but no more shots were fired, for the signal corps men . wheeled around There was a menacing gesture to reach their holsters which had a salu tary effect. The men at last got to the car barn. At least .a dozen were covered with blood from head to foot. But they were a brave and plucky lot, and said they had been in as bad strikes in St. Louis and Chicago. The men were taken up stairs and the ambulance was quickly summoned. An examination showed that not a man had : escaped uninjured. .About fifteen had been cut by the missiles, and one Hall had been shot. Bandages and arnica were called into play. When the ambu lance arrived Hall was - the only' man who Avould go to the hospital. The-am-buJanee was escorted to thevhospkal ry, a guard from Company K of the-Twenty-third Kegimeut. . . .. . The. crowd at Quail street, in Central avenue Jiad become greater than ever before. They prtshed back the guard and seemed bound to get into the street and --at the car barns. Major Case, of the Twenty-third, called out the relief. Instantly the command, "Fix bayonets!" came. The soldiers grasped their rifles with a firm grip. "Charge them," came next. . The crowd showed no desire to go back, but as soon as the guards men came at them on a dead run; their rifles extended and the cold steel looking threateningly at . them, the . crowd be came panic-stricken. A number were 1 trampled under foot. ' aT wo were prodded with the bayonets, one being a newspaper man. ' The street was soon cleared, but It was only for a short "time, and all night -the the crowd kept pressing against the guard line!' -'Shortly after the charge -Detective O'Connor discovered a' pick pocket in the crowd. He promptly ar rested him.' The cry went out that a striker had been arrested, and there was a rush for the officer. Before he was aware of what had . happened - his prisoner was wrenched loose and he was taken by the strikers to their head quarters. He was lionized. The situation in Aioany tonignt nas a very dark aspect. The fact that there . ...... ... i i v ! are -:,in national -guarusnieu uere, ready for trouble, with from twenty, to a hundred rounds of ammunition in their belts and their ever-ready bayonets, does not seem to have depressed the bellig erent spirits of the strikers and their sympathizers.
