TCESD4Y VS. ELECTION.

The election was quiet and tanle
throughout the State, due to the fact
that the opposition TO the convention
and to the democratic party which
had pronounced i'll favor Of it had
practically petered out before the day
of election, and there was no g,eatin-
centive for muc!. effort. Good eiti-
zeus OF ali parties were in favor of tile
convention. which fact accounts Tor
the weak opposition set up against II
and the party favoiing it.
The Constitutional Convention was
voted By an overwhelming majority
and the Democratic nominees we've all
elected with the exception Of tie del
egates from three or four PARISHES.
AT the present writing it is estimated
that there viii be about three Popu-
lists aud one Republican i'll the con-
yentlon; all tie other delegates being
Democrats.
The Democratic party will thus be
In absolute control, and will have it
In Its power to adopt whatever meas

SETTLED BY DEWEY.
He Took the Philippines Out of the
Peace Negotiations.

New York, Aug. PA dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Senator Frank Cannon of Utah made
a short call at the White House and
frankly announced his sympathy with that
policy in the far east which would not haul
down for SPANS benefit the flag hoisted

pines. He said that in his judgment it
would have been well to compel Spain.

SEE A BRITISH DEFEAT
Frenchmen Think They Have Scored
Heavily in the Peace Protocol.

Paris, Aug. 22.-The general well-in-
formed Madrid correspondent of the
Paris Matin telegraphed that Sir H.
DrummondWO the British ambassa-
dor at Madrid, did his best to perform
the DUTY which NJ. Cambon was des-
tined to perform, but that Premier Sa-
gasta energeticaIly declined and direct
ed the Spanish ambassador at Paris to
urge M. Delcasse to charge Ambassa-
dor Cambon with the task But even
then, according to the Matin, English
diplomacy did not lose heart. The Brit
1sh ambassador at Washington ap-
preached President Mckinley, who at
first wished the peace commission to
meet in Washington Spain then in
sisted on a neutral capital and Sir
Julian Pauncefote proposed London,
and insisted so hard that he nearly sue
ceeded in getting his wish, but the
president finally decided on Paris,
wishing thus to give the French repub-
lie striking proof of his recognition of
the tact with which the negotiations
had been conducted by NJ. Cambon.
Perhaps this dispatch in the Matin
suggested an article in an evening
newspaper, which again, as have al
ready cabled in two or three similar
instances, pronounces Cambon's sue
cess England's discontinue.
But all Frenchmen do not take this
view of the matter. Thus the leading
that NJ. Cambon's name is at the end
of the protocol which debases a nation
friendly to France. The writer of the
article then becomes anxious for the
future, and declares this is but the pro-
logue of a drama to be acted a few
years hence between Europe and the
United States, now developed into a
warlike country.
There is not unanimity, however in
the hue and cry against Great Britain.
One of the editorials in today's Rappel
advises NJ. Delcasse to cultivate the
friendship of England. But the tone of
the French press unquestionably is still
that the Spanish-American protocol is
not only a triumph of French diplomacy
but a success gained at the expense
of England. Secretary Day and MT
Hay doubtless are aware of this, and
will be on their guard when the peace
commission meets here.

VETERANS OPPOSE REED.
Will Send Men to His District to De-
feat Him.

New York. Aug. 22.-Thomas B. Reed,
speaker of the house of representatives.,
has drawn down upon himself the
wrath of a large number of veterans
of the civil war by his opposition to
bill favoring old soldiers presented at
the last session of congress. Determin-
ed effort will be made by working in
his district to defeat his reelection to
congress In a heated meeting of the
Brooklyn and New York War Veterans
and Sons association held last evening
the movement was started.
The bill which Speaker Reed opposed
provided for extension of the civil ser
vice laws in such manner that war vet
Grams should have the preference in
federal appointments all over the coun-
try Joseph W. Kay, at the head of the
executive committee of the association,
went to Maine recently and laid before
the speaker their strong protest against
his opposition to the bill
Mr.. Kays report stirred the meeting
to Indignation. Speaker Reed was de-
nounced bitterly as a traitor to the
veteran" and it was resolved that the
association would use every effort to
defeat Mr.. Reed this fall.

LEES VIEWS ON CUBA.
Believes the Island Will Be Rapidly
Americanized.

Washington, Aug. 22.-Before leaving
here for Jacksonville Gen. Fftzhugh
Lee said regarding Cuba:
THE first work which will have to
be done in Cuba will be to make ar
engagements by which all the municipal
machinery can be put into operation IN
all the towns, and governmental ma
chinery throughout the island. There
will have to be military control, sup
pose, until such time as the people in
tereSted can organize and put into OPP
Grafton a government which should be
stable and strong enough to impartial-
Iy protect the interests of Span1ards,
Americans, Cubans and the people or
all other nationaIities now on the is
land, or who may hereafter go there.
1.-The Spanish property holders, mer-
chants and all other classes OF span
iards naturally would unite with all the
rest of the conservative inhabitants for
the preservation of the interests of all
the citizens and think they will help
the natives and the Americans to main
tain a strong, safe government rms
would be natural, for no class OF peo-
pie would be more interested than they
are in maintaining property and all
other rights The most difficult prob
lem TO solve is the first organization OF
a preliminary form of government: as
later the island will be very rapidly
Americanized, and all such questions
will take care of themselves.
LAS to the probability of the Cubans
attaining a state government, pre-
nation will be issued setting apart a
date for the holding of general cleo
ton for a chief executive OF the lsland
and for a legislative body to which all
matters affecting the future of the is
land will be referred. This executive
body will probably adopt CONSTITUTION
and make the proper laws to put into
operation the political form of govern
ment. -.
LAS to the army of occupation which
will be necessary to maintain our posi-
ton with respect to Cuba, $4,000 men
will be ample to garrison the whole IS.

CAMPAIGN BOOK.
Populists Give Reasons for Folding a
Constitutional Convention.

The POpulist campaign handbook, a
publication of 35 pages, was issued last
night by the Populist state central
committee. The following are the titles
of the chapters composing the publfca-
ton:
THE Platform 1.-THE Peoples Ad-
ninistratiOn,' Attorney General
BOyle's Speech of Acceptance1' 1.-THE
Initiative and Referendum "A Stock
Yards Catechism,' AN Insurance
Catechism,' why a Constitutional
Convention" "A Populist View" by
Judge r. A. Sankey, Wichita; "A Re
publican View an extract from Cover
nor MorrilPs message; 1.-The MetropoI-
tan Police Law "A SchOOlbOOk Cate
chisn,' THE Labor Bureau" Twenty
Laws Passed by the legislature - THE
State Agricultural College" "Peniten-
tiary Coal Who the Candidates Are, -
Maximum Freight legislature
Under the title, who the Candidates
Are the pictures of the candidates on
the state ticket are printed with re-
views of their lives and performances
in politics. The advantages of state
ownership of stock yards and state in
surance are set forth in catechism
style, and a demand made for the in
itiative and referendum and maximum
freight legislation. The demand for a
constitutional convention is made on
the following reasons:
First-The constitution limits the
submission of amendments to not ex-
ceeding three at the same time, thus
this method.
Second-The amendments submitted
at a general election are lost sight of
in the political campaign, neither party
making an effort to call the attention
of the people to them and explaining
their importance; hence they are over
looked by the voters, in a great meas
ure.
Third-The constitution, being non
partisan and intended for the equal
benefit of all the people, neither it, or
amendments to it, should be submitted
al any general election. but at special
election held solely for the purpose of
adopting or rejecting it.
Fourth-The easiest, cheapest and
safest method is to have a constitution
al convention, and let it frame a com
plete constitution, meeting the require
ments of the present day, and submit
ting it to the people, to be voted upon
after full discussion. each article sep
arately. Then, if there is anything the
people do not want, they can vote it
out, and no one will have to vote for
something he does not want in order to
get what he desires.

of Pressmen's union No. 8; George
Thompson, organizer of Typographical
union No. 16, and John w. Friedrich.
Deinart and Thompson were charged
with conspiracy and arrested on war
rants issued from the circuit court at
Crown Point, Ind. Their bond was
fixed at $500 each, and as local bonds
men are required they had to spend the
night in Jail. They took their arrest
philosophical1y, and ridiculed the idea
of a conviction on such a charge. They
also say they will be able to furnish
bonds today. Friedrich is charged with
assaulting John W. King, a foreman
in the Conkey press rooms.
A warrant for conspiracy was OBJ
tanned for George W. Day, president
of Typograph union No. 16, but he is
in Chicago. Other warrants are also
said to have been issued. Senator w.
H. Gostlin assaulted John Garrett, one
of the strikers, yesterday afternoon. He
knocked Garrett down and kicked him,
it is said. A warrant was sworn out
charging Gostlin with assault.
