Correspondence Of the Alexandria aasett

Washington, May 10.
The failure of General Otis to an
nouGce the departure of any OF
the volunteers for home in his dis
patches Of yesterday and to day, re-
porting the departure of six transports
for San Francisco, is not understood at
the War Department, in view of the as
surance that the return OF volunteers
was simply aquestion of transportation
If Gen. Otis is sending back empty
transports his action is utterly irrecon-
ciliable with Secretary Ayers telegram
TO Gov. Thomas of Colorado yesterday,
declaring: "We shall spare no efforts
to effect the speedy return of all the
volunteers in the Philippine Islands,
but it should be borne in mind that the
distance and question of suitable trans
portatioc make it appear slow to wait
Ing families and friends" 1t is nearly
three weeks new since Gen. Otis was
urged in the most emphatic terms to
hasten the discharge Of the volunteers
and start them home as speedily as pos.
sible. He replied that the hrst could
start about the first week IN May

ported the number of invslids or dis'

THE MAY CONVENTION.

Those in favor of electing United
States Senators by the people met in
Richmond today. The signers of the
call for the convention met last night,
but refused to discuss the plans for to.
days work, leaving the methods OF car
rying into effect the purpose OF the
meeting to the committee on resolu-
tons. 1t was proposed that the signers
of the call for the conference should
formulate and submit a plan for the
nomination of Senators. 1t was, how.
ever, decided that such course was not
proper. The convention convened at
noon, and was called to order by John
c. Parker, of Southampton, author OF
the Parker election law. John Goode,
of Mecklenburg was chosen temporary
chairman, and w. A. Anderson, of Lex
ingtop, will be permanent chairman.
After tho committee on resolutions is
appointed recess will be taken and
the report made at q night session. The
convention will probably conclude its
work by midnight.
1t is becoming apparent that the plan
that will be most favorably regarded is
the one that contemplates Organization
in every county and city with view to
instructing legislative candidates when
they are nominated. The proposition
to ask the State committee to call q
convention is losing ground and many
of the wisest men think general pri-
mary is impracticable at this time.
An interesting feature of the general
talk of the lobby last night was the
statement several times repeated that
General Fitzhugh Lee, who had an
nounced himself q candidate against
Mr.. Martin, and then withdrawn, was
greatly opposed to the present popular
movement. This statement was re-
peated with curious frequency.
Senator Martin remained in his room
uost of yesterday receiving callers and
debating letters. Many of the dele
gates to the meeting called to assure
him OF their support and to tell him
that they approved of his record in the
Senate. He had no comment to make
upon the proposed meeting. All he
would say was that he is candidate
and it would not become him to sug.
eest method for making nomination.
ANY plan that the regularly constituted
democratic organizations may adopt
will be perfectly satisfactory to him.

tiers. The Grand Master issued dis.
pensation, which was ratified by vote OF
the Grand Lodge. for the formation OF

in the promises, while in no wise rejecting
on your intelligence as legislators, or upon
your integrity as conscientious represents
tives of our people does emphasize sn earnest
protest against legislation from which might
possibly be evolved, misinterpreted and mis-
understood meanings and it is this fear of
prospective dangers that is moro than suffi-
Gent to justify the propriety of carefully
scanning acts which are sometimes so crudcly
and hastily drawn, that they start as simple
resolutions and end as important ordinances.
1t is true that phraseoogy may not always
impair the validity of an instrument and that
an objection 10 language alone may trench
somewhat upon the hypercritical, but

WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 10, 1899

THE United States went to war with
Spain to relieve the people OF Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands
of the alleged, but, as has been demon
strated, imaginary, cruel oppression Of
Spanish rule; to give them good govern
ment and make them love, instead OF
hate, their own native land. But, I'M
happy as those countries may have
been, they were still theirs, and they
had rights in them that were entitled
to respect. Now their homes have
been seized or burnt, their lands laid
waste, their rights denied and their
blood split. They have now no coun-
try of their own, or that they can even
call theirs.

SAFE ACKNOWLEDGMENT

SAFE RoBBED.-ProfessionaI safe
crackers entered the Office of the Robert
Portner Brewing Company, in Newport
News, early yesterday morning They
blew open large safe and secured
about $40 in cash. Eight hundred dol
lars in cash was taken out of the safe
on Monday night by the agent. The
explosion, it is believed, occurred
about LAO o'clock, as the clock on the
wall stopped at that hour. Thus far
the police have been unable to secure
any trace of the safe crackers. A hole
seven-sixteenths of an inch was bored
in the door of the safe near the combi-
nation, and in this the explosive, sup
posed to have been dynamite, was
placed. The charge was probably a
large one, as the door of the safe was
shattered and the building was badly
damaged from the force of the explo-
sion.

MICHIGAN is republican State, but
its legislature, also republican, has just
imposed heavy tax, not only upon the
incomes of individuals, but also upon
those of corporations. That body does
not hold with five members of the O.

poor men on the necessaries of life, but
wrong to tax the surplus incomes Of
the rich, even though the latter be in.
creased by favorable special legislation
