10:30 o'clock tonight made this statement
ns he left tho White House:
"Mrs. McKlnley Is now resting comfortn
hly. Her condition shown no change us
comrarcd with the situation announced In
this morning's bulletin. She has not lost
any ground, nor. on the other hand, has
there been any perceptible Improvement.
Sho Is Just tho same ns when wo saw her
this morning."
Dr. Illxej, wh"n asked regarding the re
sult rf the microscopic examination of the
patient's blood, snld he had nothing to
say on the subject and that If nuythlng
wns given out It would bo after a consulta
tion of three physicians. Ho said there
had been no unfavorable developments dur
ing the day.
Some apprehension has been felt ns to
tho possible unfavorable effect of tho warm
weather, but n heavy rain fell today and
brought lower temperature and much satis
faction wns expressed nt the Whlto House
at the temporary relief. Mrs. McKlnley
ordinarily suffers little from the heat of
the summer at Washington, but the possi
ble effect of It nt this time. In view of
her low vitality and tho necessity for
guarding against anything In tho nature of
a sinking spell or a drain upon her
strength, caused somo anxiety.
Tho complaint from which Mrs. McKlnley
suffered In San Francisco Is not entirely
checked, but ll is said to bo under better
control. Despite somo reports to tho con
trary. It Is slated emphatically at tho
Whlto House that Mrs. McKlnley has not
grown any worse.
The president saw no rallors this even
ing. At -I o'clock this evening he went out
unaccompanied nn the customary drive,
but returned suddenly after being out less
than twenty minutes.
Dr. Hlxey says Mrs. McKlnley's ability to
maintain hnr condition under the wenther
conditions In Washington Is in her favor.
TO A THOUSAND REPUBLICAN?

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Juno 7. Tho Atso
elotlou of Young Republicans of Missouri
held their second annual banquet nt the
Midland hotel In this city tonight, nt which
Senator Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana
wns tho guest of honor. Tbo banquet was
nttcnderl by more than n thousand young
republicans from all parts of tho state.
Senator Fairbanks responded to tho toast,
"Building a Nation." He snld in part:
"Building a nation Is tho sentiment upon
which I nm to address you nnd I want to
ask what, political party in this country
has a butter right than the republican party
to. consider that subject.. Tlur genius,. and
great Btntcsmnnshlp of the republican party
have mado this nation what It Is today.
For forty years tho republican party has
bcon responsible for the laws enacted by
our congress, nnd since republican rule bo
gan under Lincoln to tho present tlmo our
population hns grown from 33,000,000 to 73.
000.000 people. How grateful wo should
bo to tho men who have bullded this na
tion. From the time of Wnrhlngton we bavo
had men of great genius In control of na
tional nffalrs nnd to ropublicnn control
moro than thnt of nny other party do wo
owe our present greatness.
"A nation, to endure, must be built on
principles of honor nnd political parties to
endure must advocate such principles,
tilnrj of IIpiiiiIiIIoiiiiIniii,
"To tho glory of the republican party It
may be said that it has the courage of its
convictions. It has passed the laws which
It has outlined In Us platform. In lS'.'i! our
convention met In St. Louis and doclarcd for
n gold standard. In tho campaign thnt fol
lowed wo were called 'gold bugs' aB a term
of reproach. Some of us shrunk from thnt
term. Tonight wo accept that name feel
ing that it Is nn honor to wear it. I
Ihko rend in the dally papers that a latclv
extinguished democratic leader has been
dispensing oratory in your state. After
hearing tho young republicans hero tonight
I don't blnmo htm for coming. The re
publican party Is charged by the opposition
with trying to overthrow the republic and
establish an empire. Thit charge should
como from some other than tho democratic
pnrly and should bo placed on some other
than the republican party, which has ever
been the party of liberty In this country.
"Wo republicans In Indiana sympathize
with you republicans In Missouri. You hnvo
to contend with the brutality of tho gerry
mander, the Invention of the democratic
party, we, in Indiana, resolved beforo
high heaven to stifle this Infamous system
nnd have our rights and wo rarrlcd out
that resolution.
"I want to see you Missouri republicans
do tho same thing and I believe you will.

power dally nt a minimum height. To feed
this reservoir n canal thirty miles In
length would be built, its head In Butler
county and its mouth nt tho Elm creek
Juncture with tho Platte, In Dodge county.
Tho canal would run nlong the south side
of the Platte, through Saunders county, at
a distance of at least a mllo from tho
river, with a fall of one foot to the mile,
passing the towns of Lluwood, Morse Bluffs
nnd Cedar BlulTs, In Its course leading
gradually from the Platte valley, up
umong the hills, on to tho tabic lauds,
where tho reservoir Is to be located.
Tho power plant would bo erected op
po.ilto Fremont, the power being trans
mitted by electricity to Omaha, Council
BlulTs and Lincoln, where dupllcnto power
works will hnvo to bo erected for redistri
bution of electrical energy.

Aceo-d!ng to the statement mado by the
proimu ii, the Idea of a great power plant
nt this point was suggested by tho su
perior natural advantages to Fremont par
ties early in tho '00s and the magnitude of
the undertaking and its importance hnve
grown constantly. Tho stntcraent con

handling iuetory Interests In tho east for

there also.
The panic conditions of hm and for some
years thereafter forbade the posilhillty of
llnaneliig the enterprise. Hut funds wero
subscribed In Fremont tor the surveylim of
the canal In ISM, which resulted early In
1S'.I In the Incorporation by the Fremont
people of the Fremont Canal and Power
company. Including nil tho leading business
men of tho city, with the necessary menus
for tho systematic tollowinK up of tho en
terprise. Surveys nnd crons-sectlonlng
were continued that year nnd nn curlier
short canal lino abandoned, tho present su
portor ore discovered and tho necessary
llllngs made with the stuto authorities nt
Lincoln.
In the summer of U&l L. C. Lloyd, who
had then recently organized tho First Na
tional bank nt Gothenburg, Neb., hud had
some experience -ilso In eannl construction
nnd was an entluihluHt on the Fremont sit

undertook to tlnanco tho Fremont enter

wero entered Into with hlni by thu Fremont
Canal and Power lompaiiy to that effect.
Similar arrangements liavo been renewed
from time to time with him, to the entire
satisfaction of thu company, without Inter
ruption to tho present time. Thor' has al
ways been n very close eo-i.r tuition be
tween tho company and Mr. Lloyd, and tho
latter has stuck to the financing of It with
n tilth and persistence worthy of tho splen
illil eauso which it Is.
Tho llnanclug efforts of 1803 nnd ISM were
with parties In Chicago and Duluth. und for
a tlmo seemed In a lair way to succeed, but
thoMi years were unfavorable for tho

In 1S0S, In view of Omaha's brilliant sue

ment :
"Tho deputation from the National Amer

tho American Medhal association yesterday
said nothing about the canteen question,
which docs not come within our scope nnd
on which there Is as much difference of
opinion In our association as there Is in
society at large. Our protest was solely
against the method of dealing with the
social evil lately adopted in Hawaii and the
Philippines, by subjecting women of bad
character to 'certified examination.' To
this wo woro oppesed unanimously. It Is
also an error that we wero received with
uproar. Rev. Annn Shaw nnd 1 were list
ened to with perfect courtesy, except by
Dr. Seaman, who criticised ns under the
mistaken ImprcsFlon that wo had come to
talk against the canteen. Tho doctors lls

WASHINGTON. June 7. Tho cnblnet was
In session over two hours today discussing
thu Cuban and Philippine situation. A
communication has been received from
Governor General Wood repaidlng tho
prospect for the constitutional convention
accepting the Piatt amendment, but Its
contents nro not made public. It can bo
stall d, however, that there is a hopeful
feeling In administration circles that after
the first horcneas wears oil the convention
will see thu wisdom of accepting tho termn
of the auundment. Thu answer to General
Wood Is to be sent tomorrow nnd thn lan
guage of that lotiimunlcntton Is under con
sideration today.
Meanwhile tile ciimlng stntus In Cuba Is
to be maintained No action looking to tho
calling of another convention Is tn contem
plation It tho present convention should
decline to uccide to these terms.
During the conference between Secretnry
Root and the Cuban commission the secre
tary wrote a letter to Senator listt of Con
necticut, who Introduced the Piatt amend
ment, asking for his views relative to In
tervention, as monUomd in the third clauso
of tho amendment. Senator Piatt replied,
and his lettci was furnished the commis
sion confidentially by tho secretary of wnr.
and was Incoi pointed Into nnd made n part
of tho acceptance of tho Piatt amendment
by tho constitutional convention. Tho let
ter, however, appeared In n Havonn paper
and todny was mado public by tho Wnr de
partment. Following Is tho text of tho letter:
I'liilt'x Letter,
"I nm lit receipt of your letter of this
dale. In which you say that tho memhers of
the commission of tho Cuban constitutional
convention fear Hint the provisions rclatlvo
to Intervention, mode In tho third clnuee of
tho amendment which has come to bear my
nnme, may have the etfeet of preventing
the Independence of Ctib.t und In reality es
tablish a protectorate or suzerainty by tho
United States, and ou request that 1 ex
press my views ot tho question raised.
"In reply, I beg to state that tlio amend
ment was carefully .prepared with the, ob
ject of avoiding any posslblo Idea that by
the acccptanco thereof tho constitutional
convention would thereby establish n pro
tectorate or suzerainty or in tiny manner
whatsoever compromise the Independence or
sovereignty of Cube, and, speaking for my
self. It seems impossible that such an In
terpretation can be given to tho clause. I
bellevo that the amendment should be con
sidered ns a whole, and It ought to be clear
on reading It that Its well-defined purpote Is
to securo and safeguard Cuban lndepcndtnc
and set forth u once a clear Idea of tho
friendly disposition of tho United States
toward tho Cuban people and to express In
tention on their part to aid them, if neces
sary, in tho mnlntennncu of said Independ
ence. These are my Ideas and although, ns
you say, 1 cannot speak for tho entire con
gress, my belief Is thut such a purposo wns
well understood by that body. Very re
spectfully yours, O. II. PLATT."
CuliiiiiN Will VI eel Wednesday.
HAVANNA, Juno 7. Tho Cuban constitu
tional convention will hold a meeting next
Wednesday to dUcuts tho Instructions re
ceived yesterday from Washington regard
ing tho Piatt amendment. ITftcccn dele
gates who voted In favor of the amendment
have held meetings and are tinnulmous In
thinking tho amendment must be accepted
In n manner ncceptublo to tho United States
government, and they nre determined to
force tho radical element to nccept their
view under a threat of dissolving tho con
vention. Tho radicals strongly oppose ills
solution and todny somo of the extremis'
admitted that It would bo better to comply
with tho Washington Instructions.
TAFT TO HAVE MOST TO SAY

II In Cnnililliftlnu.
WASHINGTON, Juno 7. Tho piogram
looking to the establishment of civil gov
ernment In the Philippines Is being
formulated In tho shapo of an order
which is to be promulgated shortly. It
Is said that there Is no definite conclusion
as to whuthcr iho powers of the civil ad
ministration will bo exercised under the
general wnr powers of tho prosldent or
tho authority vested In him by tho Spooncr
nniondmetit. That, however, Is considered
a matter ot detail. Tho main point Is
that tho civil administration, which will
bo cnullned largely to thn municipalities,
will bo vested In Ihu head of tho Taft com
mission and such other olllclnls as may bn
designated, and that they will excrclso
their functlonr. subjoet to tho direct au
thority of the secretary of war, to whom
all reports will be made.
Civil administration under military su
pervision, sni-h ns Is contemplated, Is snld
not to bo anomalous nnd tho civil govern
ment In New Mexico and the southern
stated during tho early stages of Iho re
construction period are pointed to as be
ing substantially annlagous to what Is
proposed In tho Philippines.
