organization which assembled to-day
being confined almost exclusively to
the District OF Columbia.
A federation Of the two bodies has
been advocated for some time past,

basic of union was reached. So far,
however, the plan has not been rati-
fed by the two associations 10 national

that harmonious action will soon be
reached. The convention OF the pres

best authorities say cltarrh is just as
surely a constitutional disease as Is

there is little doubt thai his request will

belief that either the jewelry and other
things alleged to have been found by
the Spanish soldiers did not belong to
Maceo, or else they were placed upon
the body as a ruse in order to brow
dust i'll the eyes of the Spaniards While
Mace pushed on eastward and com
