A Royal Shopper.

The dowager Empress Frederick of Germany has a truly feminine love of shopping and simply delights in visit ing London shops. When she is stay ing at Buckingham palace she often goes out on shopping expeditions. On these occasions she uses special car riage without the royal trappings, and the servants are clad as those of any ordinary lady or gentleman. Thus it often happens that the empress is not recognized, and very frequently the first intimation that the shop assistants have of the exalted rank of their cus- toner is when the address is given as Enquiries Entrance, Buckingham Pal ace."

It takes the New York girl to get up new fads. She is continually racking her brain in order to find something that will afford amusement and at the same time give her some occupation. The latest fad is gathering souvenirs of the war, and the troops and sailors have met an enemy who is more per- sistent than were the Spaniards. The new fad was started recently. In fact, nothing was thought of collecting war relics until the battleship Texas arrived home from the scene of action. Some of the men had picked up few curios in the shape of Spanish coin, Mauser rifles

Their Services May Not BE Needed in
Cuba at All.
WASHINGTON, May lit is be-
coming more and more evident that
the volunteer army will see little of
the fighting in Cuba. Day by day
the Government is massing the regu-
lars along the Southern coast. If it
were necessary twenty thousand of
them could be embarked for Havana
by to morrow night.
Two weeks from now fifty thou
sand will be in position to reach
Cuba in twenty-four hours. The
citizen soldier or volunteer in the
meantime is going through the
methOdical routine Of camp life and
army tactics at some point in his
own State or one of the points of
general Capitalization. The regular
army, by an amendment to be added
to the army reorganization bill this
week, will be increased ten thou
sand men. This will bring the total
number to Il 900, which the Govern
ment believes at present to be
sufficient for military operations in
Cuba. While the volunteer forces
may have a chance to display their
patriotism, the indications are that
they will not.

CHARTER. MAKERS
 MEET AGAIN
The Matter of Public Utilities Under COnsidera-
 ton.
Important Provisions Adopted Con- corning the Granting of
 Franchises.

The Board of Freeholders elected to frame a new charter for the city met again yesterday afternoon and spent con siderable time in discussing the manner in which street railroad franchises may be awarded in the event of the charter being adopted. It was finally decided to limit all franchises to twenty-five years and to award them to the highest bidder who, in addition to his bid, guaranteed to the city per cent of the gross receipts of the first five years, per cent for the next ten years and per cent for the last ten years The sum thus obtained will be for the Street Department.
 It was also decided to have the Super visors advertise annually for all goods and materials required for the city's use; the contracts to be let to the lowest bid der. In the event of some article not ad- vertised for in the original bids being afterward needed the Supervisors will be required to award the contract for fur nishing 1t by a system of competitive bidding.
 section introduced by Dr. An derson empowering the Supervisors to set aside $25 900 to be used in sinking artesia n wells to supply the public buildings with water was referred to the legislative com mittee for consideration.
 Another provision, introduced by A. w Thompson. providing that the eighteen Supervisors to be elected under the char ter be elected in the odd numbered years was referred to the same committee.
 On motion of P. H. Mccarthy, it was decided to incorporate a section in the franchises for heat power, light, tele- phonic and telegraphic service be award ed to the highest bidder, in the same manner as railroad franchises

nediately after the acquittal Special Revenue Agent Thrasher began gath ering testimony for a second indtct- ment on new charges, it being deemed unwise to bring up any of the counts on which Welburn had been acquitted because his counsel could plead once in jeopardy. Miss Cornell. who work ed for a while in Welburn's office, and Miss Nellie O'Brien were examined be- fore the Grand Jury several weeks ago and they told about their having signed vouchers for certain amounts when they received lesser sums from Welburn.
 Several other witnesses were exam ined as to similar transactions, and af- ter all the testimony had been gath cred there was, and it still continues, a long period of delay. Week after week passed by and no report came from the fury. Then it leaked out that there was a hitch, and that it had been caused by disagreement between Special Agent Thrasher and the United States Attorneys off1ce as to the man ner or matter of the indictment to be submitted to the jury. The matter was kept very secret, and both the special agent and the United States Attorneys office declined to be inter viewed on the subject.
 It became Known yesterday, now ever. that an agreement had been reached by all the clements of the pros ecution and that the indictment would be presented to the jury next Tuesday at the regular meeting, and that it would be acted upon favorably 60 the Government in all probability. Where Welburn is remains unknown to the prosecution. There is no doubt in their minds that he Is purposely keeping out of the way and concealing his present place of abode. About a week ago the authorities learned that a letter had been received in the city by a friend of the ex-Coilector, the letter being dated on December 29, and postmarked January TO- It had been mailed at Welburn's old home in Amarillo,

the party was very slight since he could not get a member of the committee to present a resolution which he has been carrying around for the last fortnight. When the committee ad- journs to-day he may deem it wise to return to the office of Labor Commits sioner and see whether he cannot find something there in the line of official duty to engage his time and energies Measured by ordinary standards ho is a flat failure as lobbyist for annexa- tion, but measured by his lack of use fitness as a Labor Commissioner some distinction may apply to him as a lob byist.
 In an interview published at twilight Fitzgerald spoke of having had proxies rendered to him for use in the commit tee meeting to-day. It was said by leading Democrats last night that one of the first rules to be established to- day would be one limiting the use of proxies to members of the State Com mittee. The Labor Commissioner is not a member of the State Commit tee.
 The chances are that the committee to-day will not consider the place or time for holding the next State conven- tion of the party. Sacramento is mak- ing a vigorous effort to secure the prize, and a committee of interested citizens from the capital caucused at the Pal ace Hotel last night on the subject. Pressure may be brought to bear to persuade members of the committee to take up the matter at this meeting. It was mentioned in the general talk of committeeman at the California Hotel last night that a halfway promise was made four years ago, when Sacra- mento was chosen as the meeting place. that Los Angeles should have. the next turn.
 The new primary election law will engage the attention of the committee in the session to-day. Steps may be taken to authorize counsel to represent the party in court. The indications are that the party will hold an early convention this year.
