The Honan Shansi (correct referred ko by Mr. Goodnow as the place where the vice roy appears to favor the Bo:.eis, is sal:; at the State Department to be a t a ally two separate provinces of a. extent, lying in the western and north ern portion of China. Shansi iroeaniiig wesiorn island is the province lying directly west of Chlhli. in which Pek':i is iocated. Honan adjoins Shanst on . the south. The two might prestnt an almost impossible barriir if. as Mr. Goodnow's dispatch indicates, they are dtsaffc ted and undertake to oppose the northward march, of the armies ol Li Hung Chang and' the other great southern iccroys upon Pekin.

Mckinley formally notified. Large Cro-wd at Canton Hear a the No ti'ication Speeches. Canton, O., Special. Under an azuie eky, with the sunlight glinting through ithe leafy trees, with the banner of the Republic draped above hire, William McKinley was on Thursday, offic ially notified of his second nomination by the Republican party for the highest office in the civilized world. Grouped about him were leading men of hi.? party, while surrounding his Canton home were the friends among whom he has lived for more than 30 years, together with vast crowds from the surrounding towns of his native Statet The scene was inspiring, as, to the el oquent words of Senator Ixtlge, the Preside responded in a ringing speech. There was plenty of enthusi afem and to spare and to many of the pointed utterances of both Senator Lodge and the President, there was hearty ind cordial approval shown. Important features of the speech of, no tification by Senator Lodge and the re sponse by President McKinley were tho references to the Chinese situation. This caused a great deal of discussion during the conferences following the formal speech making, and the impres sion created was ithat these utterances were a notification to the world that the United States intended to preserve all its rights in China. The impressive portions cf the President's speech were his references to the maintenance of the goid standard, and the financial public fai:h, the preservation of a pro tective tariff, the enlargement of our ! market, and especially the catchey phrase "prosperity at home and pres tige abroad." When lie- asked. "Shall . w: gt back to the tariff of four years i ago?' thrre were shouts cf "No! No!" 1 from every paTt of the audience. A p.-o- uuigeu encer greeiea n;.s words reia- the to the maintenance cf our auihor iiy in the Phii ippiues. There was a most Impressive shoi.t wLen he declared that there should be continued legislative control over the ! territory possessed by the United wdth "liberty and humanity." His de claration that tho United States had "reclaimed 10,(X),000 human beings' from imperialism" was a decided hit and thpr1 wr- ii-y . . to repeat the sentence. Hits turn of the word used so much by the oppcsl- tion was considered one of the adroit features of the speech. While the speech of the President closed the "ormal notlf'catiori therehac! not been oratory enough for the gath- eiirg. r.til other sppakers were, ( ailed Senator Hanna chairman of the na- tJOIiai COmni!!ter: Chas. Kmerv Sm h pa-i.pr. of Hawaii, and Senator Lodge, were heard, the last named spiking twice. The speakers, with the excep tion of Colonel Parker, who was call ed out of compliment, to he Pacific Islands, took occasion to refer to the recent action of the convention in Kansas City. R was the first public occasion in which Republican speakers had attempted to dissect and criticise the platform recently adopted by their opponents. Peuafor Fairbanks evi dently intended to male the money question the dominant !ssue of the ampagn. denying that with 16 to 1 in ihc-ir platform, -ne Democrats could make "imperialism" the leading h-sue. Senator Hanr. 1 adjured Republican this campaign Postmaster General Smith warned hi henrers that Demo- ' era tic s-ucecss woiwd disarrange the business interests of the country.
