-which is to carry J'resitlont and Mrs.
McKinley and their party on their
long excursion across the continent,
and back made its stnrt Monday pre
cisely on schedule time, over the
Southern road. Before ten o'clock
many people had congregated about,
the station and when the president
and Mrs. McKlnley arrived, as they
did about 10:20 o'clock, the building
was thronged and many persons were
congregated on the outside. There
was a cheer as the president's immedi
ate party drove up to the station, and
a, general demonstration of affection
nntl regard as the head of the nation
And his wife made their way through
the crowd to their train. Mrs. Mc
Kinley found the drawing room of the
private coach which she and the presi
dent are to occupy decorated beauti
fully with roses and other flowers.
She spoke gratefully of the thought
ful care of her friends and seating
'herself beside a window, facing the
crowd, continued to smile and bow
to acquaintances until the train
moved out. The president took his
position on the rear platform of the
Olympia beside Secretary Hitchcock,
lint In hand, a brilliant carnation in
his buttonhole and a smile upon his
face. .Just as the minute hand of
the big clock in the station touched
the 10:30 point the train started up
on its 10,000-mile jounrney. The crowd
cheered enthusiastically and waved n
good-by. The demonstration was
continued until the trnin left the en
vironments of Washington, the crowd
extending well to the city limits.
The first day of the president's long
tour to the Pacific const lay through
an historic section in Virginia, ncross
the valleys of the Itapidnn and James,
in sight of the homes of Madison and
JeiTerson, up past the peaks of Otter,
so dear to the hearts of the Virginian,
into the picturesque Blue Ridge
mountains. The Tennessee line was
reached at 10:55 last night with the
arrival of the train nt Bristol. The
presidential party received a flatter
ing ovation from the time the train
left Washington. Large crowds as
sembled at every station, the coun
try side and cross roads each had its
little group of waving watchers
straining their eyes to cntcli a
glimpse of the chief magistrate as
thn train whisked by. At Charlottes
ville the students of the University of
Virginia turned out, nt Lynchburg
Senator Daniel, Virginia's crack ora
tor, made a speech greeting the presi
dent, and at Roanoke two bands
crashed out. their welcome. At each
of these places the president respond
ed to the loud calls made upon him
and spoke briefly from the rear plat
form of his car.

trinl of James Callahan for the kid
naping of Kdwnrd Cudahy nt the open

place where his captors held him. Ho
positively Identified Callahan ns tho
man who put a pistol to his head and
made him a prisoner nnd who guarded
1)1 tn most of the time. Callahan be
trayed no emotion when the kidnnped
boy declared he was one of tho nb
duetors, but a cynical smile played
faintly over his features.
Tho boy said ho could not have Iden
tified Cnllahan from simply seeing
lilm. He admitted that he identified
Callahan principally by his voice, nnd
said that he would not be able to
Identify him by his appearance alone.
In answer to a direct question tho boy
wild lie wns as certain of tho identity
of Cnllahan ns he was of the identity

Lender of tho Chicago Hoard of Trad
Hull Predicts Thnt 1'rlrrii Will Go
Higher Than nt Present.

dications on 'change Thursdny that
George H. Phillips, the young leader
of the corn bulls, was changing his in
terest in corn from May to July.

tween 2,000,000 nnd 3,000,000 bushels.
At the same time he bought henvily
for delivery in July, which sold from
two to nearly three cents cheaper
than May. On the May corn sold he is
said to have n profit approximating
$200,000. As a reason for buying the
latter future he clnimed that corn in
July would be worth even more than
it is now, owing to depleted country
stocks. In connection with this as
sertion he pointed to the fnct that
Thursday's receipts here, 72 cars, aro
the smallest in years.

ACQUITS CALLAHAN.
Alleged Kidnaper of Edward Cud
ahy, Jr., Turned Loose by Jury.
Judge linker Was Much Chagrined nt tho
Verdict nnd Administered u Scathing
Kohuko to tho .'Men Who Alndo
Up tho Verdict.
Omnhn, Nob., April 20. After con
sidering over night the guilt or Inno
cence of James Callahan the jury an
nounced yesterday morning that he
hnd no part In the kidnapping of Kd
wnrd Cudahy, Jr. The verdict was an
evident surprise to tho court, nnd
Judge Baker expressed his disgust
in emphatic terms. Callahan was ar
rested on two other counts which tho
stnte is not now prepared to say will
bo made use of, ns no new evidence
Is at. hand and tho expense of going
over the ground ngnin is considerable.
The jury notified Judge Baker at
nlno u. m. yesterday that It had set
tled upon a verdict and the news
spread among attorneys nnd inter
ested parties so that an audience of
50 awaited the 12 men as they filed
into the courtroom. Callahan occu
pied his usual seat and betrayed no
apprehension as to the outcome. His
face was u blnnk ns lie watched tho
verdict unfolded nnd rend. As tho
words "not guilty" were pronounced,
however, Cnllahan half rose to his
feet, his lips parted in a smile. His
relief found no sympathy among the
audience, however, and he turned his
eyes gratefully to the jury.
Judge Baker studied the wording
of the verdict for several minutes In
silence us though he had doubted the
evidence of his ears. Then he wheeled
in his chair and addressing the jury
rebuked them in the most vigorous
terms. "If Callahan had made his
own choice of a jury." he said, "he
could not have selected 12 men who
have served him more faithfully. If
the state for its part had made the
selection I know of no men it could
have named who have been less care
ful of its interests. The jury is dis
churged without the compliments of
tho court nnd the prisoner is like
wise turned loose ns to this trial, I
presume, to continue the criminal
practices in which you have failed to
check him. I do not know what, mo
tive nctuated you in reaching this de
cision, but I hope none of you will
ever nppear again in this jury box."
The jury wns evidently ill nt easo
during this nrrnignment, but. did not
make any response and filed rapidly
from the box ns soon ns it wns at
liberty. In the hallway Callahan
mumbled his thanks and shook tho
jurymen's hnuds. Tin's proceeding
wns one of embarrassment under the
contemptuous eyes of the court olll
cers. Chief of Police Donahue says
ho will urge Mr. Cudahy to at once
withdraw tho proffered reward of
$5,000 for tho apprehension of Pat
Crowe. "Crowe might easily make an
nppenrnnoc and claim tho reward
himself," said Chief Donahue, "ns the
evidence against him Is no more di
rect than that against Callahan. In
my 18 years of experience with crimi
nals 1 have never heard more abso
lutely convincing evidence presented
than that presented against Cnllahan.

ABOUT PORTO RICO.
Wealthy Planters Blamed for tho
Present Unsettled Condition.
Secretary Hunt Says tho Opposition to Gov.
Allen Comes from Men Who Do Not
Want Free P.ducutlon Intend
ed to tho Poor.
Sua Juan, P. R., April 27. It Is not
likely that more emigration agents
will como here. Those already here
had 2,000 unlives recruited for Hawaii
and expected to ship 1,000 of them on
tho steamer Californlan Wednesday,
but sho sailed with only 511 emi
grants. The ngents announce that
this Is due to the opposition of tho
planters, who wish to retain the la
borers available until harvesting be
gins nnd that therefore nny further
attempts on a large scale to promote
Immigration will be useless. Secretary
Hunt snys the alcaldes nnd other ofil
clnls in tho interior towns acknowl
edge thnt the times nre much better
than u year ago nnd that tho pessi
mists nre gradually changing their
opinion. The recent appropriation for
road work will provide employment
for hundreds of people and open up a
wonderfully rich coffee country which
nt. present is difficult to reach.
Mr. Hunt snys there Is no doubt that
tho entire opposition to Gov. Allen
proceeds from tho disappointed party
which did not vote in the elections of
1900 nnd which Is now so anti-American
thnt its chief prohibits his fol
lowers to accept government appoint
ments. Yet tho richest planters nntl
merehunts in tho Island nre enrolled
In this party. Level-headed people sen
progress In the near future. The fed
erals do not. like to see the school
houses springing up. They nre rich
nnd do not worry about the education
of their own children, but It. tinnoys
them to see the poorer elnsses being
educntcd to their intellect mil level.

a wur which found some palliation iti
the fact that tho Chinese had killed
.10,000 unlive Christians nnd 100 Kuro

plans, Minister Conger said he would
remain in this city until Saturday
morning, when he would leave for his
