"writs a followi of tha personal part taken
hT President McKtnler In the direction of
affair in the Spaalah war:
Much has been written regarding the per
sonality of the late President McKlnley.
Tela article deals with Mr. McKlnley as the
Ideal commander In chief of the army and
nary of the United States. Never before In
the history of our country was there a
president who ao absolutely and devotedly
eommaaded the fighting forces of the
t'nlted States as did William McKlnley.
During the civil war the conditions were
widely different. The the commanders In
the Held had almost entire authority te do
as they plesaed with the forces of their
commands. Oeneral Grant seldom asked
for ordera from Washington, and he only
Infrequently received any. Not so dur I Ba
the Spanish-American war. Mr. McKlnley
waa, at all times, fully cognisant of even
the minutest details affecting the army and
navy. Conferences were held at the White
House every avenlng, and often lasted until
1, 2 and I o'clock In the morning. There
were present, usually, Secretary of War
Alger, Secretary of the Navy Long and
Oeneral Corbln, the adjutant general of the
army. The president required all military
orders to be submitted to him before being
Issued, and many of them today bear his
corrections In pencil.
Preparing for Invasion.
Tha night of June 7 and morning of the
th will long be remembered by those at
the White House. On the evening of the
.fth, upon the advice of Admiral Sampson
that he had bombarded the forts of Santiago
and urging that an army of not less than
10.000 men be sent there at once, a direct
wire was secured from the White House to
Tampa and General Shafter was Instructed
to rail Immediately. Within five minutes a
reply was received stating that It would be
impossible for him to get away before day
light the next day. Until about 2 o'clock in
the mornlcg telegrams were going to and
coming from Oeneral Shafter. The presi
dent wv-ited to know how many troops and
horses, would go with the first expedition;
If adr.quate quartermaster, commissary and
medical supplies were on board the ships.
Aft?r all this Information had been ob
tained the prealdent said to the operator:
"Tell him" (meaning General Shafter)
"good night and godspeed."
Early that morning, however, fe dispatch
wa received by the Navy department from
Admiral Remey at Key West, stating that
"Spanish armor cruiser, second class, and
Spanish ' torpedo boat destroyer seen by
Eagle, Nicholas channel, Cuba. Destroy
cenvoy. Details follow."
The secretary of the navy aroused the
president from his slumbers, and after
reading the message to him urged that
Oeneral Shafter be directed to delay the
movement until further advised. Again the
secretary of war and the adjutant general
were summoned to the White House, and
as soon as they arrived instructions were
given to delay the movement. It was not
until the 14th that the first troops left
Tampa for Cuban watera.
It waa at such timea as these, when
most of the officials were greatly excited,
that Mr. McKinley'a noble character and
presence of mind were most striking. Not
once did he become excited or ruffled, and
he seemed never to tire. On the other
hand, he was bright and cheerful.
Information at First Hand.
All cipher cablegrams received at the
Etate, War and Navy departments came
over wires that passed through tha tele
graph and cipher bureau of the White
House, and, under the direction of Captain
B. F. Montgomery, signal officer, U. S. A.,
these messagea were Immediately de
ciphered and handed the prealdent, so that
he waa Informed of all that waa transpiring
a soon as the officiate to whom tha mes
sages were addressed. Mr. McKlnley very
often would come to the telegraph bureau
and read the messages sheet by sheet, ai
they came over the wires, and not infre
quently the secretary of war, while reading
the same telegram, would receive a mes
sage over the telephone from the prealdent
directing him to come to the White Houae
Immediately to confer In regard to the dis
patch Just received. The secretary of war
would prepare a reply to a message, then
hand It to the president, who would make
his corrections. '
Colaoel Miller's command aalled from
Manila, to Hollo la December. 1898. Upon
hie arrival he met resistance and, having
no war abip, be was unable to. effect a
landing. Upon General Otis' report of this
fact and that the soldiers were suffering
greatly from the crowded condition of the
transpprta, the secretary of war prepared
an answer. The message was written on
New Year's dsy of 1899, and was aa fol
lows:

Installing
Interesting Side
NEW YORK. April 22. (Special Corre
spondence of The Bee.) The exercises at
tending the Installation of Dr. Nichols
Murray Butter aa the new prealdent of
Columbia university Saturday were the
most Impressive I bsve ever witnessed, and
I have witnessed a grest many formal
ceremonies, from presidential Inaugura
tions, church conclaves and national con
ventions down. The past year has marked
an era In great college functions, particu
lar among them, the Yale bl-centennlal,
the Johns Hopkina quarter-centennial and
the Columbia Installation. While I was
not present at either of the first two, those
who were In attendance upon all three
generall agree that tha last one outranks
the others In representative character and
la Imposing simplicity. An assemblage of
all of the leading lights In tha American
educational world would of Itself be a
notabla gathering, and' in this case the
Importance haa been enhanced by the pres
ence of the chief executive of the nation
and representatlvea not only of the various
branches of the government, but also of
several foreign governments through their
members of tha diplomatic corps.
The handsome buildings In which the
university Is now boused on Mornlngslde
Heights never looked more Inviting, nor
could the occasion have been favored with
more propitious weather. From first to
lsst the program was carried out with no
perceptible hitch. In the room given over
to the reception of the Invited guests, col
lege presidents snd college professors were
welcomed by President Butler and a verita
ble reunion was brought about between
educational associates hailing from all sec
tions of the country.
The academic procession constituted a
display of university Insignia, which would
have been confusing were It not ao attrac
tive. Each member, arrayed in the aomber
academic gown, yet differentiated by vari
colored hoods, Indicating the degrees with
which he had been honored, joined In the
proceetlon, headed by representatives ot
the undergraduates, and closed with Presi
dent Roosevelt, Mayor Low, former presi
dent of the university, and Dr. Butler, the
new president.
I had a most advantageous position along

Co-Operative Housekeeping
The co-operative housekeeping experi
ment started In Sioux City, Ia.. soma
months ago la attracting considerable at
tention, and rightly ao, as It foreshadows
a possible solution of the servant girl prob
lem, which haa become a perplexing one to
housekeepers. The experiment Is such s
pronounced success that a second league of
tha same sort Is being formed to accom
modate famillea seeking admission to tho
first. The organisation la known aa the
Parkslde Co-Operatlvs Housekeeping asso
ciation. It has a membership of five fam
ilies comprising fifteen persons, all of whom
livs within a radius of a block. The cost
of board averages $2.11 a week for an In
dividual. 'The project aeemed feasible from tha
first, because several students' clubs bsd
flourished during the school months of the
yesr in Mornlngslde, the suburb In which
the association Is located." said Mrs. W.
W. Brown, one of the members. In an In
terview with a New York Tribune reporter.
"The first step In establishing the enter
prise was to organize under a constitution
and by-laws and to elect officers. The next
waa to rent a commodious centrally located
two-story bouse. Membership Is limited to
not less than fifteen or more than twenty
persons, and no new member Is admitted
without the unanimous consent of the asso
ciation. Ths by-laws provide that no re
duction shall be made for meals in a mem
ber's absence, unless he or she Is absent
two meals in succession. For visitors pres
ent less thsn three days a charge of IS cents
a meal Is made to the host or hostess. For
ft longer visit, regular rates are charged
for guests. A housekeeper prepares the
three meals a day, and keeps tbs dining
room, kitchen and store closets, etc.. tldv.
She receives In remuneration for her serv
ices $5 a week and board tor heraelt and

The president Inserted la the dispatch.

'brought on by you," snd amended ths
concluding lines to read, "that Its purpose
Is to give them a good government and se

He added:
"It IS moat desirable that Miller ahould

On the sams day, upon advlcea from
Oeneral Brooke that the United Statee flag
had been raised over the inland ot Cuba, a
dispatch ot congratulation waa prepared by
Secretary Alger at the White House, aa
follows:
"January 1, 1809. Brooks, Major Oeneral:
Ths president Instructs ma to send to you
and your command hla best congratulations
upon ths auccesatul and peaceful turning
over of the Island of Cuba by the govern
ment ot Spain to your forces." Ths preal
dent corrected ths dlspstch to read, follow
ing th word "peaceful," "events of the
day," and by atrtklng out "beat" before
"eongratulatlona."
The order below shows that President
MeKla'.sy at times even designated the
reglmenta for active service:
"Washington. D. C. General Corbln: If

imity to the procession as It passed. Not
only were the familiar faces with which I
bsd become acquainted during my college
days numerous, but also a generous rep
resentation from the west of people welt
known in this section.
In the procession were two chancellors
of the University of Nebraska Dr. James
H. Canfleld, who now presides over the
deatlnlea of the university library at Co
lumbia, always with fond recollections of
his career in our state, and Chancellor
Andrews, who Is now guiding Nebraska's
Institution of higher learning. Another
striking figure was that of General Brooke,
resplendent In military uniform, who later
asked after a number of friends, dating
from hla location In Omaha aa commanding
general of the Department of the riatte.
Still another familiar countenance was
that of James M. Woolworth, who passed
along with the other gowned dignitaries
In his capacity as chancellor of the Epis
copalian diocese of Nebraska.
Around about In the audience were sev
eral people well known to Nebraskana.
Just behftid me sat Professor Frank A.
Ftttpatrlck, formerly superintendent of the
Omaha public schools, but now connected
with a book concern of Boston, who had
been associated with President Butler la
his work In the National Educational asso
ciation. Near him was W. E. Annln, who
shines In Omaha on occasions, though now
located at Denver In a responsible posi
tion In the poetsl service. He la s cousin
of President Butler and had come on to
participate in the Installation ceremonies.
On one side was Dr. Albert Shaw, the bril
liant editor of the Review ot Reviews, who
greeted me and recalled his visit to Omaha
during the great Transmlsetssippl expo
sition. Close by waa Horace White, the
veteran editor of the New York Evening
Post and one of the few remaining repre
sentatives of the old pioneer school of
Journalism. Not far on the other elde was
Carl Schurz, still active and vigorous In
spite of accumulating years. A few rows
In front of me eat Andrew Carnegie, the
great ateel master, who la planting publio
l'brarles all over the country, and to whom
South Omaha, Lincoln and many other Ne

of gratitude. It is needless to say that
Mr. Carnegie on his entrance received spe

overs of the first two meals. Members are
at liberty to Introduce dishes that are fa
vorites In their own homes, and If they wish
to do so, to prepare them In the kitchen In
their own way. . This plan Insurea a good
many especially toothsome dishes prepared
by women whose specialties they are. One
of the women and her husband, with the
housekeeper as counsel, act as purchasing
committee. All bills are paid by the treas
urer. "All ths members of the association are
friends of long standing. They comprise
the county superintendent of public Instruc
tion and hla family; his brother, a minister,
and hla family; the deputy reeorder and
wife, a retired farmer and wife and a com
mercial traveler and family. All own their
own homes and are people of moderate
means who have been accustomed to keep
one servant. All agree that the acheme

to say nothing ot the gain In health and
patience to the wlvea and mothers of the
community. To them the aervsnt problem la
solved and the queatlon dropped.
"The social feature Is a etrong point In
favor of the association. One learns to
look forwsrd to ths ( o'clock dinner with
pleasurable anticipation. The plan has
worked wonders In bringing Into the fresh
winter air threo times a day women who
have formerly housed themselves carefully
from cold and atorm. Families in which

of time for visiting, and hostess and guest

preparations.
"Tha auccess of the enterprise haa given
rise to the suggestion that a suitable build

equipped dining rooms, each ot which will
seat about thirty persons. Interest la the

barter's Sarprlalag Dispatch.
On July 15. just after the land battle
around Santiago, General Shafter, la a dis
patch to tha adjutant general regarding the
surrender, reported that the Spanish com
mander desired that hla troops be allowed
to retain their arms. The following answer
waa written by Secretary Alger, under di
rection of the president:
"EXECUTIVE MANSION, Washington
Major General Shafter: Your dispatch Is a
surprise to the president and me. What
you went to Santiago for waa the Spanish
army. If you allow It to evacuate with
lta arms you must meet it somewhere else.
This Is not war. If ths Spanish commander
desires to leave ths city snd Its people, let
htm surrender, and we will then discuss
the question aa to what aball be done with
them."
The order below la In the handwriting
of Mr. McKlnley, and waa aent to General
Miles aa soon as ha landed in Porto Rico:
"How many troops will you require for
ths csmpalgn In Porto Rico After being
on the ground do you revise your orlginsl
figure of 40,000"
It will be remembered that when our
soldiers were encamped st Chlckamauga
and other places their friends and relatives
aent them all klnda of dellcaclea, such. In
many Instances, being very detrimental to
the health of the men. To ahow the presi
dent's personal supervision over such small
details, below la given a copy ot aa Item
prepared by the adjutant general for pub
lication in the dally press, which It waa
thought would atop tha practice:
"The sending of dellcaclea to tho army
by generoua people will not longer be en
couraged by tha War department, aa It baa
been found that auch delicacies for troops
In the field are Injurious rather than help
ful. The aecretary of war euggeata that
doaatlona of this character be sent to ths
bospltsls only, and that tha Burgeon of the
army be consulted aa to where they will
be most needed."
This ths president emended to read:
"The sending ot dellcaclea to ths srmy,
'although moat generous and fully appre
ciated by tha authoritlea,' will not be
longer encouraged by the authorities," etc.

same time unique, follows:

President
Procession,
ia the procession of caps and gowns stopped
before him to shake bands with him.
A noticeable feature pt the celebration
was the pert assigned to the women. If
any ooe harbored doubts that co-education
was part and parcel ot the modern
university they would soon have been dis
pelled. In addition to the platoon of Bar
nard girls In the undergraduate division
and their chaperonea ot Instructors,
nearly every large woman's college was
represented by its president and principal
professors, equally, distinguished with the
men with their gaily colored caps and
hoods that pass In collegiate circles as
the only recognised rewards ot merit.
Not that the women predominated In num
bers, nor that they occupied a place on
the epeaking program, but their partic
ipation on equal terms was the significant
point. I have witnessed several college
formalities at various Institutions, but In
none were the women so prom
inent aa here. I believe it would have
been an Inspiration to all women sincerely
Interested in achieving equality ot the
sexes to have viewed this striking object
lesson, teaching that In the field of
higher Intellectual endeavor the real
work ot men and women In the cause of
aclence, literature and art receive equal
recognition whenever on the eame level,
It la unnecessary to go into the speeches
that were delivered at the Installation ex
erclsea nor the after dinner talks at the
alumnae banquet that followed. They were
all In the happiest vein, particularly those
of President Roosevelt, Mayor Low and
President Butler, and all opened up a
vista of glorious promise for the useful
ness of Columbia under the guidance of
lta new executive. Special stress was
laid on the fact that the great universities
of the country are no longer rivals, but
helpmeets a truth reinforced by the
character of the Installation exercises, par
tlclpated In aa they were by official mes
sengers of good will from nearly every
educational Institution ot Importance.
Entering upon his new work under such
ausplcloua circumstances and equipped for
hia duties aa few college presidents have
ever been. President Butler Is sure to
keep the standard of Columbia In the very
front rank oft the onward movement ot
American education.
