PRESIDENT M'KINLEY VIEWS
THE LAUNCHING OF THE OHIO
Sa~ Francisco, May 18.--.Dramatic
and picturesque as was the sight of
14,000 tons of steel sliding into the full
breasted tide of San Francisco bay, it
was not as splendid and magnificent
as the great naval pageant which ac-
companied it, nor as profoundly im-
"presslve as the greeting extended to
the President by the 4,500 dmployes of
the ship yard.
With the threat of a great strike im-
pending, the President's words to the
working men to-day have an added slg.
niflcance and his reference to expan-
sion and other national questious make
hls speech, probably the last he will
ever deliver on his present tom', in
every respect a notable one.
When the President left the sick
room of his wife every arrangement
had been made to notify him on the
instant of any change for the worse
In her condition. He was driven to the
wharf in a closed carriage, escorted by
a squad of mounted police.
The Gabinet and other distinguished
guests were already aboard the trans-
port tug Slocum, which waste convey
the party to the Union Iron Works two
miles up the bay, when he arrived. The
President's flag, an eagle and a shield
on a blue field, was flying from the
main and the Union Jack was at the
bow as he stepped smilingly up the
gangway to the accompaniment of the
cheers of the thousands who crowded
the neighboring pier heads.
Every wharf on the sea front
swarmed with people. Up near the
ship yards the grim warships of the
Pacific squadron were swinging at an-
chor, with streams of signal flags ex-
tending fore and aft over the peaks
from prow to taffrail. Off near Goat
Island lay the transport Sheridan,
travel stained from her long Journey
across the Pacific. She had Just ar-
".rived from the Philippines and still
bad aboard the Forty-second and
Forty-sixth infantry which she had
brought home.
The President saw her at once and
requested_ that the course of the Slo-
cure be changed to allow him to pass
near her. As the Slocum approached
the~big transport there was a scene of
almost frenzied enthusiasm aboard.
The soldiers, all in their service uni-
forms, rushed to the side sad sent up
cheer upon cheer at the sight of the
President of the United States come
to welcome them home.
The band on the after deck struck up
the 'Star-Spangled Banner." Ther sol-
diers climbed the rails and ratlines
and almost drowned the music with
their shouts. They swung their hats
and acted like madmen. Several of
them brought their reglmantal flags
and waved them frantically to and fro
from the bridge. The ensign at the
stern was dipped again and again. The
salute was answered by the Slocum.
The President was plainly moved by
the remarkable demonstration.
As the Slocum drew near the llne of
steel-clad thunderers of the deep, with
lackies lining the rails, the marine
guards drawn up aft and officers In
full uniform on the bridges, "a puff of
smoke burst like a white balloon from
the port quarter of the battleship Wis-
consin. Admiral Casey's flagship.
Boom! came the report. It was the
first gun from the ships--the first of
of the twenty-one.
Each of the warships, the big, sav-
age battleship Iowa, the long, lean
cruisers Philadelphia and Adams. the
little torpedo boat Farragut and the
revenue cutter McCulloeh. which was
With Dewey at Manila. turned loose
their secondary batteries as the Slo-
cure slowly steamed by.
Beyond the warships the lltte tug
threaded her way through the hell-
day fleet of steamers, yachts, tugs,
barges and every variety of water
craft Jammed about the front of the
ship yard.
Each was black with cheering pep.
Ple and there was hardly one of them
which did not have a saluting gun of
some sort to.add its voice to the roar
of welcome that greeted the President
from the dense crowd of workmen
gathered upon the pier.'
Ashore to the right was a stand cov-
ered with acres of 0apple and beyond
that a hill alive with them. Up the
Pier a bro~d aisle of white muslin ran
through the workmen packed on eith-
er side. Up this path, -arched over
With flags and banners, one of them
bearing the inscription: "The Oregon
has made her record: watch the Ohio,'
the President and his party moved to
a stand where the representative of
the 4,500 employes of the Union Iron
Works, in a neat speech, in which he
asked a heartfelt blesmtng upon .the
head of the Presidevt and expressed
tender sympathy for his suffering
wife, presented the President as a
token of the e~teem, of the workmen,
~lth a gold plate engraved with a
suitable inscription.
"The Presldenffs resl~nse aroused
vnuch enthusiasm. It was in part as
follows:
"I am Inexpressibly thankful to the
l~uler of us for his goodheas and his
mercy, which have made it possible
for me tO be with you here to-day.
"I have wanted to see the men of
the UniOn Iron Works. I have known
6f their skill. I have seen their gen-
ius dtsplaFed in their workmanship. I
have observed what your spokesman
has so well said, that suffering under"
~alddisadvantages of fuel, indeed thou.
s 0f miles away from the raw ma-
erlalm which go to make a ship, you
have yet persevered and triumphed
and made as good ships as have ever
8aiI~l the sees.
"As the head of the nation, I want
to thank the people of this coast for
their noble work during the Spanish
~ar. And I want to make special ref-
erence and acknowledgement, for I
raay~ not have another opportunity,
to the gallant First California volun-
teers, that were amopg the first in the
field and almost the last ¢o leare ~it,
and perform~l conspicuously gallant
I~rvlc~ in the eompaign In the Phil-
Ippine lslands~
"No one can stand surrounded by
tl~ Workmen of this great eatablish-
v~el~t without recalling the aplendRl
.Work dose by the ships yoii hazel
~l!ded and their prlcelces services to ]
tl~_ Country, [
t~l'Whh~n Admiral Dewey was direct. [
to lg0to Manila and destroy the[
lmnl#~i']~ee¢ vr capture it, he~ made [
the Olympia, which you builded, his
flagship, and his command, directed
from that ship, perfomed one of the
most brilliant achievements in the an-
nals of the American navy.
"Nor can we forget for a moment
that it was yot~r skill and genius that
made the Oregon. The hours of anx-
ious waiting will never be known
when the Oregon started to join the
fleet at Santiago. Days and days we
heard not one word from her. But we
had confidence in the stout ship you
had builded, and we had confidence in
that gallant officer, Captain Clark,
who commanded it. I shall never for-
get the early morning when Captain
Clark telegraphed from the Florida
shore:
" 'The Oregon is here and needs no
repairs and is ready for action.
"And she went and performed mag-
nificent service for the country. I
want to thank you men of the Union
Iron Works for your assistance in thd
defense of our common country. I
want to thank you for having builded
ships that have maintained the honor
of the United States and added new
glory to the navy of the United
States.
"I don't want a ship in the American
navy built this year to be any better
than the Ohio. I say that to you
among ourselves. I say it to you work-
men who are going to build her, for
I have a great deal of pride in the old
state.
"I have a great deal of pride in the
name, but proud as I am of my native
state. I am a thousand times more
proud of the nation that is over all the
states, supreme and sovereign and
glorious in its mission of good will
and liberty to all mankind.
"What we want is to build more
ships. We ought to have a good com-
mercial line from here to the Philip-
pines, made in the Union Iron Works,
built by American workingmen and
manned by American sailors and car-
rying the American flag.
"We have overcome distance. We
not only want a commercial line. but
we want a cable from here to the Phil-
ippines.
"We want it to be an "American
cable, that cannot be cut by any power
in the world. They say trade follows
the flag. The telegraph must follow
trade.
"My fellow citizens, we have great
problems before us. We never had
more important ones. We have ex-
panded. Do you want to contract?
It is not a question of whether we
will acquire the Philippines or Porto
Rico, or Guam, or Wake island, or
Hawaii, or Tutuila. We have ac-
quired them: they are ours. The ques-
tion is, shall we give them up? (Gen-
eral cry of "No.") And from one end
of this country to the other comes
answer. They are ours not to sub-
jugate, but to emancipate; not ¢o rule
in the power of might, but to take to
the distant people the principles of
liberty, and freedom of conscience and
of opportunity that are enjoyed by the
people of the United States.
"Our flag never goes anywhere' ex-
cept it carries blessings. Our flag
never oppressed anybody, but it has
given freedom to every people over
whom it has floated.
"Having said this much, I only want
to thank you all for this cordial wel-
come. I am glad again ¢o meet the
workingmen of my country. All my
public life has been devoted in effort
to giving the workingmen the best
opportunity, the best chance for good
wages and steady employment.
"When labor is well employed, the
country is safe, and when labor is well
employed there is contentment and
happiness in the homes of the labor-
ing men.
"Let me say that I shall carry this
beautiful souvenir of the employes of
the Union Iron Works with me and it
shall abide with me so long as I" live,
and shall be passed along to those of
my family that shall follow me as ~)ne
of the dearest token I have ever re-
ceived from my fellow countrymen."
The ceremonies connected with the
launching were simple. There was no
speech-making. Mrs. Ida Eckert Law-
rence of Ohio read an original poem.
At 12:22~ two and one-half minutes
before the tide was at its highest, the
time set for its launching, there sud-
denly shot up into the face of the in-
dicator "Ready."
Miss Barber pressed the button. The
last block fell away. At the same time
Miss Helen Deshles, a young lady of
seventeen, in a light gown, with her
hair braided dow~ her back in school-
girl fashion, let go of the bottle of
champagne suspended at the side of
the bow by a red, white and blue rib-
ben, and as it crashed against the
side she uttered the words, "I christen
thee 'Ohio.'"
Released from its bonds the heavy
hull of 14,000 tons of steel went
ploughing through the thick grease of
its cradle. Slowly, a~ first, then faster
and faster, she slid down the ways,
taking the flood majestically and pil-
ing up the water in great waves be-
fore her. The~ band crashed, whistles
blew and the multitude shouted.
No ship ever given to~ the navy has
taken her lfiltlal plunge into the sea
under more favorable auspices, or in
the presence of a more distinglilshed
company.
The trip back to the city was al-
most a repetition of the Journey to the
yard. There was the same wild dem.
castration from sea and shore.,

WASHINGTON GOSSIL
The War Department has published
the reorganization order prescribing
the strength of the various branches of
the military service upon the basis of
77,287 men and a staff of 2,783 men,
the enlisted strength being 74,504 men.
By the order each cavalry regiment
will consist of twelve cavalry troops of
eighty-five enlisted men each, making
the total strength of the cavalry
branch 15,840 men. The coast artillery
will consist of 126 companies of 109 en-
listed men each, making 13,734, and
the field artillery of thirty batteries of
lo0 men each, making a total artillery
force, field and coast, of 18,862 enlist-
ed men. The thirty infantry regiments
will consist of twelve companies of 104
enlisted men each, making the infantry
strength 38,520 enlisted men. The
three engineer battalions mill have
four companies of 104 enlisted men
each, with a band, and will have a

About the middle of September the
Postoffice Department will advertise

all star routes in Colorado, Wyoming
and all other western states, the con-
tracts to cover a period of four years.
In the letting of new contracts, the de-
0artment will require that bidders
shall live in the vicinity of theirroutes,
thUS putting an end to the speculative
bidding which has prevailed in the
past, whereby eastern contractors
have secured a majority of western
contracts at a low figure, and depend-
ing upon the local sub-contractors to
perform the work required. This ser-
vice has never been satisfactory. Aside
from this innovation, however, all bid-
ders will be given to understand that
each contract calls for the new system
of box delivery, whereby carriers will
be required to deposit nmil in boxes
of settlers living along their routes,
where such settlers request such ser.
vice and erect boxes along the road-
side. It is expected that the new con-
tracts will be at slightly advanced
rates, but the fact that local bidders
will be recognized over speculators,
and because of the extra service re-
quired by the. box delivery, the depart-
ment thinks the extra expenditure is
Justified.
Some time next fall. says William E.
Curtis in the Chicago Record, when {he
new desks which have been ordered
for the House of Representatives have
been delivered by the contractors, the
old desks, which have been in use
since 1872, will be sold at auction, and
there will doubtless be a demand by
hero worshipers for those which were
used by President McKinley, Colonel
Bryan. Thomas B. Reed. John G. Car-
lisle, Mr. Blaine, General Garfield,
Sunset Cox and other famous mere
Congress provided that members of the
house cou~l have the privilege of buy-
ing their dwn desks at a given price,
and many of them will doubtless
choose to do so. There was a similar
auction sale when the desks were
changed in 1872, and active bidding for
those which had been used by Henry
Clay and other famous men of the
past generation. You will find now in
the houses of old residents of Wash-
ington some (~ those desks, and they
are highly treasured. " It should be
enid, however, that there are always
several desks arttributed to famous
men. This is unavoidable, because an.
der the rule of the House the desks are
drawnby lot at the beginning of every
Congress, and the members seldom oc-
cupy the same seat twice in succession.
The desks are numbered and the door-
keepers have a record of their history.
By~ looking at the book they can tell
you who has used any one of the desks
you may happen, to name. You will
find half a dozen with which Mr.
Blaine has been associated, and an
equal number that have been used by
Pre~tclenf McKinley. This detracts
somewhat from their value, but does
not destroy the sentiment.
The~ United States geological survey
has completed its plan of operations
for the new fiscal year. It includes
zome very important work in Colorado
