SieS ST occasion again. Passing on to McKlnley life, the secretary vividly lescrlbed the stirring times preceding the civil war and told of the call to irm that drew William HcKinley, their-17 years of age, from the farm the battlefield. Continuing, the ipeaker aald: "He M theort of youth to whom military life in ordinary times would posses no attractions. His nature was far different from that ef the ordinary soldier. He had other dreams of life, Its prises end pleasures, than that of marches and battles. But to his mind there waa no choice or question. The tanner floating on the morning breeze was tbe beckoning gesture of his coun try. The thrilling notea of the trum pet celled him him and none other Into the rank. "Hie portrait In his first uniform is familiar to you all the abort atocky gure; tbe quiet, thoughtful face; the deep, dark eyes. It Is the face of a fed who could not stay at home when be thought be wee needed In the Held." Urt AJFTRR WAR.

District attorney, representa tive for fourteen long years, governor and finally president. He said Mr. Stedman had called Mc Klnley "The Augmenter of the Stals." and continuing in this vein, said: "It is a proud title; if justly confer red, it ranks him among the few whose names may be placed definitely and forever in charge of the historic muse. Under his rule Hawaii has come to us, and Tutuila; Porto Rico, and the vast archipelago of the east. Cuba is free. "Tb? doctrine called by the name of: Monroe, so long derided and denfedTry alien publicists, evokes now no chal lenge when uttered to the world. It has become an international truism. STATE IS AUGMENTED. "The state is augmented, but It threatens no nation under heaven. Aa to those regions which have come un der the shadow of our flag, the possi bility of their being damaged by such a change of circumstances was in the view of McKlnley a thing unthinkable. To believe that we could not adminis ter them to their advantage was to turn Infidel to our American faith of more than a hundred years." After describing McKlnley's death at Buffalo, Mr. Hay concluded: "There Is not one of us but "feels prouder of his native land because the august figure of Washington presided over its beginnings; no one but vows it a tenderer love because Lincoln has poured out his blood for it; no one but must feel his devotion for his country renewed and kindled when he remem bers how McKinley loved, revered, and served it, showed in his life how a citizen should live, and in his last hour taught us how a gentleman could die."

Some time ago the Becretarytfttie"treamiry received official information to the effect that J. W, Ivey, collector of customs at Sitka, had instructed his deputy at Unalaska not to permit Canadian vessels, presumably about to engage in pelagic sealing, to obtain supplies at the port. Tbe collector w as directed to send a statement of the facts to the department and was Informed that if such orders had been given they must be rescinded. The department received a telegram from Ivey saying: "My instructions were not against vessels engaged In alleged legal fishing, but against Canadian vessels actually engaged in pelagic sealing, which Is Illegal and criminal when committed within the marine jurisdiction of the United States. If there is an ancient treaty between the United States and Great Britain by which British sub jects can commit depredations, de stroying American property and deple ting our revenue of tens of thousands of dollars annually, while our own citizens are denied these privileges, the sooner such treaty is abrogated the better. "Your solicitude regarding interna tional complications with Great Brit ain need cause you no uneasiness, as the poaching season is not yet opened. Your new collector will arrive In time to enforce your orders. My American ism will not allow m? to rescind an order which gives British subjects privileges within our marine Jurisdic tion which are denied our own people. "There Is another matter that may attract your attention. 1 have recently Issued orders to the deputy at Skag way, a copy of which has been sent you, which has put the Canadian offi cers located there out of business and Sent them to their own territory. You are aware of the fact that this officer became so offensive that he interfered with American officers in the discharge of their official duties, opened United States custom mail, dominated over the railway officials, discriminated In the order of shipment In the favor of Canadian merchandise against that shipped from Seattle, established a Canadian quarantine at Skagway. col lected moneys and performed other acts of British sovereignty in a port of the United States, such as hoisting with bravado the cross of St. George from the flagstff of his custom house. I have sent the concern, bag, baggage, flag and other paraphanalla flying out of the country. You may fear the shadow of .international complications and rescind this order, but a Reed, an Olney or a Blaine would not. TO REDUCE THE CHINESE CLAiMS. Washington, D. C (Special.)
