CHANGE THE DATE.

One hundred and seven years ago today
George Washington was inaugurated Presi-
dent of the United States, and with that
event the government of the republic may
be said to have been duly installed. IL is
to be regretted that for some unex planned
reason Congress did not adhere 10 that
date as inauguration day, instead OF sub
shutting for it the fourth day of March,
which has no historical Significance, il
most unpropitious for any out of-doOrs
demonstration, on account of the inclem-
ency of the season, and unduly abbreviates
the .short'' session. Congress has been
repeatedly urged to make a change. but
so far all appeals and arguments have been
of no avail.
Washingtonians especially appreciate the
unsuitability OF the fourth day of March for
Inauguration purposes. Nine times out of
ten the weather has been such as to max
paradins hardship aud a menace to the
health of the paraders. and the genera
incelemeucy OF the season deters many
people from coming to the capital WHO
would otherwise be glad to testify by
their presence the interest they take in the
induction into office of the first officer
of the government. On the last day of
April however, the "ethereal mildness" OF
spring generally dominates the atmosphere;
at any rate. there is not nearly as much
danger of colds of more or less severe type
as there is in the early days of March.
As already stated, there is no historical
appropriateness in the selection of the
fourth OF March. ANY other dfy>piight be
chosen Just as well, for that matter. But
a distinctive interest and significance at
tacbes to the date on which George Wash
ington first took the oath OF office as Presi-
dent, and that niomentous event would be
and ought to be appropriately commence
rated by taking that day as the one ON which
a new administration takes hold of the
reins Of government

There is, however, the same Paci-

TAKE AN OFFICER TO CUBA.
Regular Army Man viii Accompany
Colonel Eitzhugh Lee.

Washington, May 7.-Consul General
Fitzhugh Lee is to be accompa MED to
Havana by an officer of the regular
army, Major Edward NJ. Hayes, Sew
enth cavalry, better known among
army officers and on the plains as
Captain Jack" Hayes. Mr.. Lee and
Major Hayes served together in the
army before the late war, and they Were
warm personal friends. The two men
met in Washington. They saw the
president and talked the matter over.
and 1t was arranged that Major Hayes
should go to Cuba. 1t is stated. how
ever, that he will not have any official
relations with the consulate. but will
be in Cuba simply as an army officer
on leave of absence.
He will, however. give Consul General
Lee the benefit of his advice and assist
ance. 1t is believed to be part of
President Cleveland's general plan of
arriving at a thorough understanding
Of the condition Of affairs in the island
from military point of view.

to order at l0.15 o'clock. Hon. Richard

chairman. During the night the Nc
Kinley forces completely routed the
opposing faction, and a plank was in

adopted by the convention giving full
endorsement to Mckinley and instruct
ing the delegates to the national con-
vertion to vote for him for president.
The platform also declares for pro-
tective tariff which will afford adequate
protection to the wage workers and
producers of the country. 1t also

money and opposes the free coinage of

AComprOmisc Report by the Eligibility
Committee Is Adoptcd-Rights OF the
Delegates Have Been ReIinqnishcd.


Cleveland, Ohio. May 7.-Bishop Foss
presided at the session today of the
Methodist general conference.
DR.. a. j. Kyett presented the report
or the committee on eligibility. which
provided for a compromise of the wo-
man question.
The proposition was In substance to
allcw the women delegates to keep their
seats, on the understanding that 1t
should not establish precedent, and
then to re-submit to the annual confer
ence during the next four years the
same constitutional amendment. or one
similar to that, which lately barely
failed of adoption by the three-quarters
vote.
The report further provides that the
action of this general conference should
be without any prejudice to the rights
OF any women delegates to any future
general conference under the constitu-
tion as such general conference may
construe or interpret it,
Rev. Dr. kyett moved the adoption
OF the report and said 1t is needless
TO say that there are questions on
which we could not agree. While the
! debate was progressing. many from
both sides were in free consultation.
The full report was adopted by an al
| most unanimous vote. The announce
ment OF the vote was greeted with pro-
lonsed applause.
Just where the three ladies who with
drew stand Is a question. The confer
| ence has given them the right to sit
in the convention with the understand
ing that their seats are challenged, but
1t is agreed that they are not to be in
| terfered with. But it is claimed that
the ladies by their voluntary withdraw
al from the conference have relin-
quished all their rights
Bishop Andrews is of the decided
opinion that they are out.
The conference decided to maintain
the two-thirds rule in voting for the
election of bishops, though a strong ef-
fort was made to have the majority rule
! substituted.

afternoon. General r. a. Alger, ThOm-

delegates large. Thcl convention
adopted resolutions instru, ting for Nc
Kinley SO long as his name is before
the national convention.
The platform demands the repeal of
the Wilson b:ll and favOrs high rev.
enue tariff and reciprocity
The line In the financial plank de-
clarlng against the free and unlimited
coinage of silver was received with
much applause.
A hot debate followed which lasted
for an hour, and which was only ended
by Delegate Crisy, of Midland. moving
that the financial plank of the Minne-
apelfs platform of 1892 be substituted
for both the majority and minority re-
ports on the subject. This was received
with favor and the substitute was
adopted and then the resolutions as
amended went through with a rush and
the silver men raised a mighty cheer
over their victory.
