 the Federalist, the writings ol Thomas Jefferson, and others who
 participated in the framing and
 erection of the general government
 of the United States, it is learned
 thas there were presented to the
 constitutional convention several
 different plans of organization. One provided a single chamber for legis-
 lation, to be elected as is the house
 of representatives in the plan which
 was finally adopted, an executive,
 judiciary, but no senate. That
 plan was opposed by all the small
 states. Then three great states
 New York, Pennsylvania and Vir-
 ginia-would hold a majority of
 representation in a legislative body
 so selected, and by combination
 they could carry their united in-
 terests Should opportunity present or necessity requirel against the in-
 terests of all the rest. To meet the objection of the smaller states the
 plan of bi-cameral representation
 was adopted and a senate in which all the states would be represented with equal power was created. Had that not been done the representa- tives from the smaller states would have withdrawn from the conven- ton and the constitution would have never been created Even with that concession the people of the smaller states were very solici- tous and ratified the instrument with no little misgiving Several states were dilatory in doing so, and one state-Rhode Island-with- held ratification for a period of years, until her people perceived by the actual practical workings of the federal constitution that the senate gave each state ample protection.
 The advocates of the so-called 1 home rule measure for Arizona present for adoption proposition almost identical with that rejected | by the smaller states in the framing | of thd constitution In fact, it is | not quite so good, for under the { plan which was then rejected each ! state would have a vote upon all ] while all that Arizona would have under the plan now would be simply the privilege of sending a delegate to to look on and see the work of legislation done. He could protest, but he could not enforce ais protest by voting or by yielding he power he would enjoy by hav- ng vote upon all measures.
 So the proposition now under consideration is practically a little ,it worse for Arizona than that which was rejected by the original tates. As then proposed the peo- ,le of each state would enjoy the fight to elect their executive, judi iary and local legislature, and would beside have a voice and vote

Meeting of the international
Commercial Congress
De YelOpes the Fact That Other
American Countries
WANT TRADE WITH Us.
Would Rather Do Business
With the United States.
Representatives Ask That Fa-
ciIities Be Provided.

Philadelphia, June AT yesterday
session of the International CONNER
| cia1 congress, Mr.. Robertson (dex)
said in the course of an address that
the reason her majesty's United King
dom controls so much of the trade of
the various countries is because she
subsidies steamship lines and sends
! her emissaries of trade to the remOtest
( parts Of the earth and says: L want
to buy what you have to sell, and want
to sell you something. L am asking
you to take you home in my own
Ship
Continuing, Mr.. Robertson said:
THE products of the central and
southern American states will never
be brought here until you provide some
way to transport that which you wish
to sell and provide some way to bring
back that which your neighbors
through the south have to sell. They
want to buy from you, and they want
to interchange their products"
Captain Graca (RiO Janeiro) stated
that at the banquet he had presented
a somewhat lengthy letter to President
Mckinley and that distinguished gem
tleman had informed him he would
forward a reply as early as possible.
A copy of the letter was read to the
conference. A portion of the letter is
as follows:
1T is our hope that your government
will endeavOr to develop by means of
congressional action a system of navi-
cation between our countries which in
the past years has been so badly neg
lected and for which everything is
ready in both countries except the
practical means to carry it out. In fact
I maysay that people in both our great
countries are suffering for the want of
practical means of navigation, which
is to connect them, and only needs the
stamp which can be had by legislation,
the details Of which I propose to pre-
sent to our government at an early
date.
1T is also my intention to propose a
plan for the establishment of an inter-
national banking system between your
great country and ours which will en-
able US to do business with each other
without being compelled to pay
a commission to England, as
is the case at present. I have
plans by which the banking
system can easily be made practi-
cable and mutually profitable, and it
would be very wrong indeed If we were
not able to carry them out. The very
greatest hnanciers have assured me
that an Immense business can be done
in a direct way between our two coun-
tries, and I already assure you that
some of the most solid banking houses
of both countries are ready to go into
the American-Brazilian International
company"

WHEAT-Liverpool was again the lead
ing factor in the wheat market during
the morning, weak opening there caus-
ing a like feeling here. July started at
67720679sc, against yesterdays closing price
of 681sc. A small cash business yester-
day, favorable weather and an advance
of points in the condition of the Ohio
crop were also factors. Buying by scalp
ers at the opening decline caused a brief
reaction to 672z9675sc. but when Liver
pool cables We're received showing radi-
cal weakness, the market dropped quick
ly to 674sc. Northwest receipts were mod
crate, 314 cars, against 407 last week.
CORN-Was weak on heavy selling
Receipts S57 cars, were largely over the
estimate. July opened AQ3sc lower at
241sQ2414c and held at 241kc.
OATS-Were very dull and weak fol-
lowing corn July opened &c lower at

DYNAMITE IN DENVER.
Company From Germany to Establish
q Factory There

Denver, June 4-There is a strong prob
ability that Denver will be selected as
the site for one of the dynamite factories
to be erected in this country by the No
bel Dynamite company of Germany, the
most powerful manufacturer of high ex-
plosives in the world.
Word was received here yesterday that
the agent of the company is now in this
country, looking over the ground for the
erection of these factories, of which 1t is
thought that there will be at least three
one in San Francisco. one in the east
somewhere and another in the mining
center of the country. Very little is
known of the movements of this agent,
the informal ton being merely that he is in
the country and supposed to be in the
west. The facilities for transportation
and the fact that nearly all the ingredi-
ents for the powder can be secured in this
city render it very probable that Denver
win be chosen as the site of one of the
factories.
The Importance of this industry is
shown by the fact that the product of
the three factories now in operation in
California is about 16 600, 600 pounds per an
mum. valued at more than S1,5O0,Ooo. All
of the powder used in COlorado-about
5000, 900 pounds per annum-is made in
California.

TRIP OF THE SERVANTS.
200 Chicago Swedish Girls Going to
Stockholm.

Stockholm
Chicago, June 4.-Swedish servant girls
200 of them-are going from Chicago to
take part in King Oscars jubilee in Stock
holm. And they are going in the end Of
the ship that gets into port last. They
came over in the other end. but they
have made some money in Chicago htch-
ems and the steerage is not good enough
for them this trip.
The servant girls will have plenty of
money when they get to Stockholm, and
they have formed resolution to burn it.
The story has leaked out through the
agent of the steamship line who is going
to ''chaperon'' the party on it's long pleas
ure trip. To his amazement he has
learned that in this bevy of servant girls
there are only a few who have not in
their pockets drafts for sums from $500 to
81 900. He was surprised when they de-
manded and paid for frst-class passages,
His surprise became amazement when he
found that they had pockets lined with
cash and were going to spend it during
their trip.
The servant girls have been looking for
ward to the trip with the keenest delight.
They have been going without spring bon
nets and new dresses for two years.
Nearly everyone of the 200 came to
America with a steerage ticket and a
meager bundle containing their earthly
possessions. Now they are going back in
sumptuous style Not all Of this fortu-
nate 200 are from Chicago. Not few
will join them at other cities.
In the same ship will be people who
hire Swedish girls and who will sleep in
berths no dOwnier than those the girls
will occupy. The excursionists will num-
Der about 400 and the entire party will be
the largest of it's kind that ever left Chi

The Results of ImPerfect Digestion

The Results of ImperFect Digestion
of Food.
Every living thing, plant or animal con-
tains within itself the germs of certain
decay and death.
In the human body these germs of dis
ease and death Called by scientists Pto-
manies), usually the result of imper-
feet digestion of food; the result of in
digestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly digest
the food. The result is a heavy, sodden
mass which ferments (the first process OF
decay poisoning the blood, making it
thin weak, and lacking in red corpuscles
poisoning the brain causing headaches
and pain in the eyes
Bad digestion irritates the heart caus-
ing palpitation and finally bringing on
disease of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ, ev-
cry nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal, and
weak digestion shows itself not only in
loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley,
said the best start in life is a sound
stomach Weak stomachs fail to digest
1000 properly, because they lack the pro-
per quantity of digestive acids Qactic and
hydrochloric) and peptogenic products;
the most sensible remedy in all cases of
indigestion, is to take after each meal,
one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
because they supply in a pleasant harm

The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach

LoNDoN's SENSATION.
CFrom the chicago Times-Herald

NErOm the chicago 1ImeS-Herald.)
Rudyard Kipling's poem on Philip
Burne-Jones' painting. THE Vampire
with that work of art itself, is the talk
of the two continents. The picture is
hung in the exhibition of the new Lon
don gallery. It is an odd and an original
representation of the medieval folklore
tradition of the ghost or simuIacra which
returns from the grave to suck the life
blood out of living men. The vampire
may be the soul of man or woman, and
its purpose in draining the vitality of
earthly persons is to nourish the deca wing
corpse in its cerements. Burne-Jones
represents the vampire as a most beauti-
full woman. She is bending over the form
of a dying man lying in bed, with a great
red spot upon his breast from which the
last of his lifes blood is Oozing. The
painters conception of the vampire is
new, as popular superstition ever at
tached to the death-dealing ghost an as
pect of horror, and old prints extant are
by no means as pretty as the work of the
son of the famous painter. Mr.. Kipling
takes another view of the matter, and his
poem is the practical conclusions to be
drawn from the painting by his cousin.
He interprets the female to be a heart
less creature who totally lacks apprecia-
ton of her lovers affection, and after
AenAA45 must VI HIS A41S leaves MN uyAltB
with never a regret. The painting fasci-
mates and horrifies almost all who see it,
while the poem horrif1es without fasci-
mating. Theophile Gautier uses the story
OF the vampire in La Morte Amoureuse,"
in which he tells the tale of a woman
whose soul Satan releases by night in or
der that she may absorb the blood of her
lover. The priests discover the cause of
the trouble and her tomb is effectively
Mr. Kipling and Mr.. Burne-Jones have
managed to make no end of talk which
will certainly last through the season
in London.
