THE TRAMPSARE MARCHING ALL BOUND FOR DAN
 ViLLEs ILL.
THE BIG MEETING JUNE l6.
Nine Interesting Delegates Pass Through Pine Bluff in a
 Private Car

A rather comical delegatioa of tourists passed through Pine Bluff Wednesday afternoon over the Cot ton Belt road. They are not the kind of tourists that that companY takes a delight n hauling, however, but rather a class of people that it despises and avoids them at every possible opportunity. They were tramps. There were nine in number add they each had on a tin can for a badge. They were en route to Danvllle, H., where on June 16, one of the most novel conventions of the present century will convene. They were not the tramps of fiction, but the common, every day Wandering Willies
 When a Graphic reporter called at their headquarter, which was on side track in the Cotton Belt yards in the eastern part of the city, one was being assisted by the other eight of the hungfy-looking party, preparing a speech, which upon being questioned he said he would deliver at the big convention. They refused to give their names, but added that we would doubtless hear from them after they reached Dan vile.
 There are hundreds of these inter esting Knights of the Road mak ing their way to Danvllle just now. A call for this meeting was made sometime ago. Quite as unique as the conYention is the "cal. 1t is handy sticker or poster that eau be easily placed upon a fence or a lamp post. They were we'll circu lated by the tramps throughout the United States and the convention wilt be one of nhe most complete successes ever known in the history of Illinois.
 The hoboes have drawn up an ex- cellent program for the occasion, the exercises to take place in large tent erected free of charge by a wealthy citizen of that place. While in Danyille, barns, barrells and tents will house the delegates A sand lot. owned by Onion Cotton" notel proprietor of that city, has already been announced as the meeting place. College graduates reduced by drink will take an im- portant part in the discussions of the convention.
 It is claimed that over 100 unions of tramps exist in the United States. Those who join are first examined and it is necessary for them to be post-graduates in the art of calling for handouts and counting ties. They are also required to answer intelligently the following and | numerous other questions of like nature:
 How much territory have you covered in the last five years?
 Did you ever panhandle dookie? |
 Do you prefer box car to Pull manP
 Did you ever leave town by policeman's request?
 Will you help to establish a free soup house in every railroad town?
 Have you eyer been thrown from a side-door Pullman?
 The 'sboys' talked very interest ingly about their meeting, which they say will surpass the National Democratic convention which was held in Chicago in 1896.
 It was only a short while before the 'bums" saw the approach of an engine and knowing that their Especial" car would soon depart, they huddled themselves together in the corners thereof and continued their journey.
 Keep your eyes on the Associated Press reports and you will see the full proceedings of the Tramps' Con

blue storm serge, with lighter blue silk
trimmings, 4 stylish hat OF black, with
plumes and wing trimmings and a
small bunch of white flowers. She wore
q black feather boa, and brown Kid
gloves. Although little pale, she was
looking we'll. and gave undivided at
tention to the proceedings The next
hour was given over to technical for
malitics. j. J. Grant was formally ap-
pointed assistant prosecuting attorney
and objected to proceeding without the
attendance Of Russell Hogan, twelve
yedr-oid boy witness. whom the sheriff
could not find. and who Is wanted by
both, sides. 1t was admitted that il
present he would testify as before the
coroner, and us set forth In his atli-
davlt.
prosecutor Pomorine said he was em-
barrassed by the absence of this wit
ness, as well as by that of Mrs. Althouse
and Peter Quinn, but would not ask
continuance on that ground He did not
believe that Hogan properly questioned
would testify as Mt first. \ suspension
was granted TO admit the testimony be-
fore the coroner II the witness could
not be produced in person. The defense
reserved the same right.
At the coroner's inquest Young Ho-
gan testified that he saw person In
black come from the Althouse property
just uf.er the shooting and pass on
the opposite side OF the street EIc did
not know whether It was man or a
woman. He said he could not tell
whether 1t was Mrs. Althouse or Mrs.
George.
Then the forty names In the special
jury venire were called and all an
swered. The defense then challenged
the array of jurors. adding long tech
meal motions. formally attacking the
jury commissions work, allegations Of
irregular service by the sheriff on the
Jurors, etc. The latter were argued.
Arguments on the challenge to array
was carried into the afternoon, and 1t
was o'clock when the courts decision
was announced. The challenge was set
aside and the venire was sustained.
Then the examination Of Jurors one at n
time began. This baGe fair to be

MANILA, april 4.-General Mac

Ing with the Fourth Montana regiment,
the Fourth cavalry and two guns OF the

opcd the fact that there are fully one

no engagement.

Of Malolos Is Inadequate.
The belief Is spreading among the
residents here tina: the effect Of the
capture OF Nialolos. the former rebel
OF the United States Philippine com-
mission, VIA be to convince the natives
that Agulnaldos bubble has burst.
DR.. Schurman, president of the COM
mission, said: THE Filipinos have
been asking increasingly: What do you
propose to do for u.s.! The proclama-
ton answers the question, and It
should satisfy them."
Col. Charles DENLY, member of the
commission. and former minister to
China, remarked: 1T Is the most i'm
portant proclamation since the declara-
ton OF independence. Spanish, Tagalo
and English versions have been printed,
and 1t Is proposed to circulate them

They will be sent TO the lake towns BY

had, In order to satisfy his own mind,
made n chemical analysis of residum
from the beef used on the Panama and
had found distinct evidence OF the pres
ence of boric and salicyllc acids. He
then referred agatn to the report of the
war commission, In which reference had
been made to the use Of these drugs, Ae
intlmatlon being that a brace of them

Replying, DR.. DAILY asserted that the
chemicals were detrimental to health
and they could only be used at the peril
Of those taking them.
No matter what authority says these
chemicals are safe they are not SAFE"
said DR.. DAILY emphatIcally.

Here DR.. Daily introduced Joint re-
port made by DR.. Clark, chief chemist
and DR.. Hlldebrandt, chemist Of the
geological survey. on an analysis made
by them Of residum from the beef used
on the Panama. In this report they
said they had examined the powder fur

In response to general question, DR..

nation conilrmatory OF what he had
testified to, but which had come to him
In q confidential way, rendering 1t i'm
proper for him to give the names Of
those supplying the facts. In truth q
ban had been placed upon the informa-
tlon. He thought that some forty or fif-
ty persons had spoken to him in cor
roboration Of what he had said. These
were the proprletors Of slaughterlng
houses and the manufacturers OF chemi-
calls. One manufacturer had told him
that he would have been compelled to
go out Of business but for the patronage
of the beef men. He said after some
questioning that he would ascertain
whether he could give the names OF
these people to the country"

WASHINGTON, April 4;-Only five
of the eight members of the cabinet
were present ut to-day's meeting. the
absentees being Secretaries Gage. Alger
and Long. The principal subject un-
der discussion was n long cablegram
from Mr.. Schurman. chairman of the
Philippine commission. now at Manila,
which was read by Secretary Hay. The
purport Of the message which received
most attention was that which indicat-
ed that Aguinaldo's power over his fol-
lowers was largely based upon coercion
and fear of violence in case they op-
posed him. This message. taken in
connection with recent Information re-
ceived from General Otis. has led to
the belief among members Of the cabl-
net that the end of the trouble with
the Fillpinos Is near Mt hand.

Ponc,s Condition.

LONDON, April 5.--The Rome corres-
pondent Of the Daily Chronicle says:
"The Pope is able to be up and about,
but he cannot do his customary work,
and the vatican routine has to be exc
cuted without personal reference to
him. The danger from his fainting fits
has been exaggerated, and the real
cause of anxiety Is his Inability to take
sufficient nour!shment. His holiness
may keep going SO long as there Is no
extra pressure upon him, but his life
will hang by slender thread unless he
gathers strength with the returning
spring."
