THE DACeITs OF BURMAH.

Civilization Compelled These Out
IS laws to Alter Their Habits.
Burmah is one of the countries that
are changing very fast, and one of the
things that has changed in Burmah
Is the sdacoit. The sportive gentlemen
described by Rudyard Kipling and
others, who crucified villagers whole
sale and filed old ladies with kero-
sene, Were flourishing in full vigor less
than ten years ago, but they already
belong as completely to the past as
Dick Turpin and his colleagues in
England. No doubt fresh war, or any
event seriously shaking the British
power or reputation, might produce a
reerudescence of the old disease. but
in the meantime the dacoits have en-
tirefy changed their habits, instead of
living together in bands, In the Jungle
they are scattered through separate
villages in the guise of peaceful cult
yaters.ss During the day each man at
tends to his paddyfields just like his
neighb6fs,- and II is only at night that
they meet together for the dispatch Of
their more important and lucrative
business. Dacoity as defined by law Is
simply robbery committed by a band
of five men or more, and it is important
only because of the Burmans strong
natural propensity toward it, and the
great difficulties which his national
character places In the way of It's de-.
lection.
1t must always be remembered that
Burmah being in a transitory stage
and much less settled than India. ard
the government being extremely short
handedssan immense amount of vari-
Gus kinds of work falls upon each sin

sifnposs ihles for him to exercise any
close orsdetailed supervision over any
particular part Of his district This of
itself renders the detection of criminals
a difficult matter. When the dacoits

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 22.-The mid
dle-of- the-road men, through their
steering committee, took action to-
night which will probably have very
important effect on the convention.
Early in the evening they selected Ig-
natius Donnelly for their candidate
as permanent chairman, and sent a
committee to notify him of his selec-
ton. Mr.. Donnelly accepted, but it
was given out later that the steering
committee had held another meeting
and selected ]. E. Campion, of Maine,
as their candidate for permanent chair
man. The committee realized it was
in a very awkward position, having
notified Donnelly and secured his ac-
ceptance. The reasons given for sub
shutting Campion are that the Mime
sofa delegation and the delegations
which the steering committee repre-
sented made a great protest against
Donnelly's selection, many declaring
they would not vote for him. It was
also stated by the members Of the COM
mittee that Donnelly was a possible
candidate for president.

indicates that the mfddle-of- road

After the convention took a recess
this afternoon middle-of-the-roa
meeting was announced. There was
at once a rush of delegates towards
the speakers stand. Mr. Carter, Of
Georgia, acted as chairman. There
were immediate calls for Stump"
Ashley, but ashe began to speak the
band began to play. Angry men shout
ed: PUT out that Democratic band
and stop that band" After a while
the band was hushed. but by this time
Congressman Harvard had got to the
front and began making a speech. He
talked long and loud against the Bryan
movement. He was followed by
Stump" Ashley, who made another
long speech. There were loud calls for
Coxey, but no response Then "Cy-
clone" Davis made a strong plea for
the preservation of the Populist party,
after which an attempt was made to
do some business. es
Stump" Ashley was elected chair
man and a number of secretaries were
chosen. 1t was suggested that one del
egate from each state be selected to

The steering committee met at the
Texas headquarters, and elected j. w.
Mcfarland chairman, and Henry E.
Call secretary. Twenty-four states were
represented. A number were proposed
for permanent chairman, but it was
finally decided to choose Ignatus DON
nelly, of Minnesota. Some objection
was made to him on account Of his re-
ligion, but this was promptly oyerruled
and the committee determined he was
the best man opposed to Bryan they
could select. 1t was claimed he would
be much better than a Southern man,
as the sectional question might enter
into the contest and 1t would therefore
be better to have a man from the
North. 1t was agreed that Congressman
Howard, Of Alabama, should place Mr..
.Donnelly in nomination. committee

Mr.. Donnelly said he shrank from the

ST. LOUIS, July 22.-The situation
tonight points more strongly to Bry-
ans Endorsement or nomination. In
fact, the Bryan managers declare that
they are absolutely certain that SO
far as the head of the ticket Is con-
cerned they are out of the woods. But
with regard to Sewan they admit pri-
vately that there is grave doubt, and
that there is now probably majority
of the convention against the Bath
ship builder. They are using all their
energies to prevent the complications
that would follow an Endorsement of
Bryan and the nomination Of a, Popu-
list for vice president
The middle men cannot
even get together on candidate for
president. Debs is their favorite, but
the Bryan managers say they have
word that he will refuse further use
OF his name. If Populist Is named
for vice president, there is sure. to be

said, would welcome such bolt, If it

Gen. Weaver has been selected to nom

1t seems probable, therefore, that an

SUSPECT QUEER WORK.
Middle Readers Think They Are
BEING BuncOed,

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. July 22-The mid
dle-of-the-rOad men held an informal
meeting after they left the convention
hall tonight, and there were many ex-
presSiOns of suspicion regarding the
failure to have it lighted. They pointed
out that they had arranged for an ad-
journed meeting an hour and a half
previous to the time set for the con-
vention to reconvene, and that they
would not have interfered with the
convention, as the business they had
to transact could have been disposed
of very easily. 1t was also pointed
out by several delegates that none of
the officers of the convention and no
member of the executive committee ex-
cept Cyclone" Davis, appeared until
within a few minutes Of the time, when
Mr.. Butler declared the convention in
recess. The Texas men were very bit
ter in their denunciation Of the manner
In which the middle-of-the-road men
had been treated, although Mr.. Davis
had made an explanation Of the rea-
son why there were no lights. The
wire connection, which lights the hall,
had been damaged by the rain and it
was said that 1t was the only wire
that had been damaged.
This explanation was not at all sat
lsfactory to the steering committee Of
the middle-of-the-road men, who held
an executive session tonight for the
purpose of determining a plan of &C.
ton. 1t was stated that If Mr.. Butler
did not appear in the convention an
other time the middle-of-the-road men
would take charge and run it them
selves. Another explanation made by
the middle-of-the-road men, indicating
that the Bryan men did not want a
meeting tonight, was that a demon
stration against Bryan such as might
have appeared when the steering COM
mittee reported in favor of the nomina
ton Of Donnelly for permanent chair
man, would be disastrous to the Bryan
interests. Members of the contingent
asserted that the Bryan men wanted
delaysin order to secure men from the
anti-Bryan ranks. i
When, Mary Ellen Lease was about
to talk to the meeting, Gen. Weaver
rushed down and said that she must
not do so. He held a whispered con-
sultation with her, and she then stated
that she would not talk until the hall
was lighted. All of these things, taken
in consideration with the fact that the
hall was lighted within thirty-five min
utes after Chairman Butler adjourned
the convention, and after every dele
gate had left the building, has created
great deal of suspicion in the minds
of the middle-of-t men, that
they are not getting fair deal.'' y
The impression prevails among a
large number of them that they are
practically defeated and that a nonli-
nation will be
