the CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT

The MADISONION has been requested
BY several electors to explain the pro-
posed amendment to the constitution,
which will be voted on next Tuesday.
It IL proposed to amend section 2of arti-
Gle 9, which now reads as follows:
"Section 2. Every male person of the
age OF twenty-One years or over, possess
ing the following qualifications, shall
be entitled to vote at all general cleo
lions and for all officers that now are,
or hereafter may be. elective by the
people, and upon all questions which
may be submitted to the vote OF the peo-
ple: First, he shall be a citizen OF the
GATED States; second, he shall have re-
sided in this state one year immedlate-
~ preceding the election at which he
offers to vote, and in the town. county
or precinct such time as may be pre-
scribed by law: provided, first. that no
person convicted of felony shall have
the right to vote unless he has been par
doned; provided, second, that nothing
herein contained shall be construed to
deprive any person of the right to vote
Who has such right at the time of the
0AVRVAOAA VI Uul9 SOISbAtulioi' PiO' 'NS"s
that after the expiration of five years
from the time of the adoption Of this
constitution no person except citizens of
the United States shall have the right
to vote"
The amendment reads as follows:
Every male citizen of the age of q
years who shall have been d citizen of
the United States for ninety days, an
iphabitant OF this state one year next
preceding an election, and for the last
thirty days a resident of the county, and
who shall have resided in the precinct
in which he may offer to vote sue time
- may be prescribed by Law. shall be
entitled to vote at such election in the
election district Of which he shall at the
time be q resident, and not elsewhere,
for all officers that now are or hereafter
may be elective by the people: provided,
that no person convicted OF felony shall
have the right to vote unless he has
been pardoned."
II will be observed that the proposed
amendment clothes the voter with the
authority to vote only for officers. The
words land upon all questions which
may be submitted to the vote of the
people" are missing in the amendment.
1t may be an error on the part of the
Trainer OF the proposed amendment, and
it may not. At any rate, if it carries il
may take awaythe right Of the elector te
vote upon all public questions save the
election of officers. Under the cir
sumstances it should be voted down.

At the eleventh hour, there has

has been no such party in the state.

Judge Lott position on the silver is

Judge authorizes the MADISCNIAN TO
say for him that he believes the United
States can arrange her own financial
policy without waiting for the consent
of any other power: that he believes in
the free coinage OF silver at the ratio of
sixteen to one, and that in the further
ance of this belief he proposes to vote
Tor the Bryan electors. Alter this
frank statement we trust no one will
question Mr.. Lofts loyalty to silver.
Next Tuesday the electors Of Madi-

of his judicial economy in no uncertain
manner. We would not be surprised
to see him poll 400 out OF the 1000
votes cast. We trust that Beaver
head will do as we'll in promotion.
Judge Showers is not pushing himself
in this matter. He is not dragging
the judicial ermine in political mud
by going around the district soliciting
voters. Remember this fact. He stands
on his record. and no man has surer

The Sons of Eli Made
Things Lively at Yale.
Demolished the Frame Work
For WOOlSey Statue.
Declared it Will Never Be Dedicated
at Place Selected.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, June l.--Pande-
monium. .reigned on the Yale campus this
morning when the seniors discovered
that workmen had started upon the
work of laying the foundation Tor the
Woolsey memorial statue ON the senior
baseball ground in front Of the time
honored fence. At recent meeting of
the corporation of the university 1t was
voted to erect the statue at this place.
Such courDe would deprive tho seniors
OF the enjoyment Of a famous Yale pas
time. Efforts have been made to have tho
corporation reconsider, but this morning
workmen placed in position q frame
work by which to mark out the lines Of
the foundation.
AT the close of the devotional exercises
in Batteli chapel the seniors discovered
ii. In JwinklinR the ball grounds were
tnronged with seniors, every window i'm
Durfee dormitory was opened and there
was fearful din OF yelling and howling.
The frame work was torn to pieces and
burned to ashes on the campus under the
very eyes OF the professors and instruc-
tors. The seniors danced madly about
the fire, jeering ut the university treasu-i
rer, w. w. Farnum, and Professor An
drew w. Phillips, who the students all
lege were in favor OF and instrumental in
the decision placing the statue at this
place.
After the bonfire, a committee of sem
Tors went to the office OF the academic
dean, Professor III. z. Wright, andsin-'
formed. .him.that there. would be trouble
il further attempts were made to put the
statue on the ball grounds. They said
they would paink.it green, and might
tear Ii down. In summarizing they vowed
that the statue would never be dedicated.
,, at that point, as advertised in the pro-
gram for commencement, already pub
lished. The students maintain that they
are,wiiling TO petition the corporation, or
do anything looking to the selection Of
some other site, but Professor Wright in
formed them that, In his opinion, tho
action of the corporation is final. The
seniors are watching the ball grounds
closely, ana trouble is expected II the
workmen attempt to place In position the
foundation.
The Yale Alumni Weekly, out TODAY,
contained vehement editorials deprecat
ing the action OF the corporation and
urging reconsideration.

Bodies Being Taken From
River at St. Louis.
Belief That Many Lost Their
Lives in the Stream.
Eighty-Five Miles of Streets Were
Filled With Debris.

ST. LOUIS, June At has been feared
that large number of the people now
reported missing from East st. Louis
found watery graves.
In the light of the recent developments,
IL seems as though these fears were not
unfounded, for in the past two days two
bodies have been dragged from the Mis-
sissippi's waters. The body of an unknow
woman was taken from the Mississippi
today at East Carondelet. 1t is still uni
dentihed. Tony Messing, who formerly
lived at 1886 North Nineteenth street, wes
found In the water near the Pittsburg
dixie near the East st. Louis elevator.
Messing was employed at the Donk
BROTHERS, coal yards and was known to
have been near the river front at the time
of the storm. IL was supposed that he
was blown into the river. In addition
TO this large NUMBER of horses and other
animals have been found in the debris
which has collected along the banks. A
numb ber OF these horses were fully harm
essed and as the storm occurred at time
when the river front was crowded with
teams going to and coming from st.
Louis with the last load for the day, IL
is thought that number of drivers also
have been swept into the stream. There
Is no way TO fully determine the mum ber
OF missing.
There have been just S5 miles of streets
obstructed by debris as a result of the
tornado. All OF these streets have been
made passable and VIII he cleared up in
ten days. In the city there are $50 miles
of improved streets, so ii can be seen to
what extent the tornado interrupted
traffic. The storm district. on it's outside
lines extended from the river on the west
TO lower Grove avenue on the east and
from Olive street on the north to Lynch
street on the south. This comprises an
area OF six square miles. The extreme limits
were three miles east and west and two
miles north and south.
An adequate idea OF the damage can be
formed when II Is stated that II all the
houses damaged and blown down were on
both sides OF the one street, that street
would be just 50 miles long. The figure
is gwen by the street com missioner who
has been through the entire district and
from the reports OF his general superin-
tendeut.

other question was as to the expediency
OF this large expenditure at time of
financial stringency.

OF the navy" said Mr.. German, "but
am unalterably opposed to building four
ships, considering the condition of the

MIR. Chandler asserted that information
before the naval committee showed that
the cost OF production of armor plate at
the C8rnegie and Bethlehem works was
less than 800 ton, and that by COM

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS
SIR-rhe facility with which the So
called reformer distorts what Is said in
an interview is remarkable. Mr. Isaac
8. Foster stated at a meeting OF the East
Providence Town Council yesterday that
"Mr. Reeves had told aim that ii was
not his music that drew the crowds down
there Crescent Park but 1t was what
they got afterward."
That statement was unqualifiedIy false.
What / did tell him was this: That. 1
had been at Crescent Park several seasons,
and had never seen or kncwn of any
serious difficulty; that on the whole, the
crowds were fully as respectable and
orderly as at any place j had been en-
gagged at, intimating that the trouble was
from the upbridled license OF the places
in the immediate vicinity OF Riverside,
the outpouring Of the drunken crowos
that boarded the cars at Riverside's no.
torious "Midway," and filed the respect
able patrons of Crescent Park with ols-
gust. i would pe an idiot, indeed IL
had made such a statement or even
thought it. For on the drawing powers
OF Reeves band we get our engagements
IL cannot be possible that 80 astute man
as Mr.. Boyden would engage the Ameri-
cam band on sentiment 1t ie merely es
a matter of business that he expends
nearly $50, 900 the coming season on the

cent Park, which is conducted with as
great regard of propriety and decorum as
