SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., MAY is
Fortunate Mrs. McKJmey s condition
today permitted the president to at-
tend the launching of the battleship
Ohio from th-- yards of ti: I nion Inn
"Works. To witness the launching of
this ship, nana 1 in honor of his native
state, was the real objective of the
president's long trip aero. th < <>n-
I tinent and was the ev< nl which has
attracted to the Pai-illc coast the gov-
ernors of three states, the Ohio i >>n-
gresslonal delegation, several United
States senators an>l many omer nota-
bly and distinguished people. Dramatic
and picturesque as was the sight of 14.-
000 tons of sty 1 sliding into the fall-
breasted tide of San Fraiu isio buy.
it was not s*o splendid and magnificent
as the gre.it I val ,p .a n t
companied it. nor as profuunniy im-
pressive as the greet in<; extended to
the president by tbe 4,500 employee ol
the ship yard.
With the threat of a gr- it strike
impending, the pre:-ident's words to the
working men today have an added sig-
nificance, and his reference to the ex-
pansion and other national questions
make his speech, probably the last he
will deliver on his present tour, in
every respect a notable one.
When the president left the sick room
of his wife this morning every arrange-
ment had been made to notify him on
the instant of any change for the worse
in her condition. The physicians as-
sured him there was no indication of a
setback, but at his request telegraphic
connections were made at the wharf
and at the shipyard, and save for the
time he was on the water he was not
for a minute away from direct conne. -
tlon with the Scott residence He wax
driven to the wharf In a closed car-
riage, escorted by ti squad of mounted
police. The cabinet and other distin-
guished guests were already aboard the
transport tun Slocum, which was to
convey the party to the Union Iron
works two miles up the bay, when he
arrived. The president's flag, an eagle
and shield on a blue field, was flying

at the bow as he stepped smilingly up
the gangway to the accompaniment of
the cheers of the thousands who black-
