many OF the features of that draft
may be allayed AS we understand It,
the important change provides for the
calling OF constitutional convention
about as early as the advocates OF such

them. As a matter Of record, the draft
as presented TO the people In Noyem-

all the two or three provisions that Il
contained which excited active opposi-

to meet with the approval OF the
greater proportion of Rhode Islanders.

harm. Indeed it has done good, If Il

While American cities. following the
example of New York, are tending Ia
absorb surrounding communities fol-
lowing the greater town principle.
our English cousins propose to split
up the great metropolis of London be-
cause il has grown too unwicldy 10

an administrative way the largest and
most populous city I'm the world. As is
generally familiar the city of London
and the metropolis represent two dis
tinct governmental institutions. THE
city" covers only square mile OF area
and has resident population OF per-
haps $4,000, while as the business center
of the greater city it's day" population
approaches half million. Its affairs
are administered by lord mayor board
OF aldermen and common council. But
surrounding 1.-THE City, greater Lon
don with it's population of millions is
administered as a county complete i'm
itself and distinct from the municipal
corporation OF London city. Now a
change isproposed and instead OF bring

municipal charter, il is proposed TO split

by no other plan can the interests of

BRIEF SESSIONS.

Boston. Feb. 25-There was only a
brief session OF the senate, the senators

commission were continued. The
greatest crowd was present at the judi
ciary committees hearing on the bill
TO allow ice companies to sell ice from

to take out pedlcrs' licenses, and the
committee seemed inclined 10 favor the
legislation asked for. Bills for regulat-
ing the sale OF electricity were before the
manufactures committee for city in

That is glorious news, indeed. the
safe coming To- port OF the steamship
Bulgaria. The other day the report
that the women and children had been
sent from the apparently doomed ship
In one OF the only two boats available
and had been rescued was the occa-
sion for applause and admiration Of
the bravery and spirit of self-sacrifice
which commonly distinguish the sailor.
Now IT is learned that these brave ana
skilful fellows have saved their ship
and themselves as wen. with her
steering gear gone, her machinery dis
abled, her hold filing with water, the
Bulgaria gallantly withstood the stress
of two weeks OF -Eri-- and hurricane,

brought her through, to the glory Of
manhood and seamanship. II is a stir-
ring story indeed.

The cablret, after considering Dewey's
message relative 10 the present import
ance OF sending the Oregon at once 20
Manila, reached the conclusion that too
much Importance should not be attached
To IL, that Dewey wants the big ship 70
influence the Fillplnos through fear
Secretary Long said when asked for an
explanation Of the reference TO political
reasons in the Dispatch
Il am sure that II has no international
significance. You may state that posi-
lively Probably he wants fine ship
there as the American commissioners are
about due. ard 1t viii give weight to the
American representations"
1t Is suggested from other naval sources
that Dewey wants the oregon to release
n number OF the smaller ships of the
fleet for other work. He has been plan
ming tour among the Islands other than
Luzon with tNe purpose Of establishing
the authority of the United States among
them. 1t Is also necessary TO establish
a close blockade To prevent the insur-
gents from receiving supplies. These
projects require for their execution a
number Of ships. Dewey cannot spare
that at present, but when the Oregon
gets into Manila harbor she viii be suf-

THE OREGON.

The cablegresl from Admiral Dewey
asking for the Oregon was received with
surprise by the officials here. No ono
Knew the nature OF the political reasons
which the admiral says demand the
presence of the peerless battleship. The
cablegram was taken 10 the cabinet
meeting and fully discussed there. No
other subject was considered by the
cabinet. II is thought that a request
for further details viii be made. The
admiral, 1t Is said possibly feels that
the moral effect OF the presence OF the
big ship upon the insurgents themselves
would be good.
But there is an underlying doubt
whether or not The admiral may not be
sighting "a gathering cloud In the east.
and is looking TO the prevention Of any
possible Intervention or Interference by
European powers In the struggle now
in progress near Manila. II is believed
that i'm the big fires much property of
foreign residents and business concerns
was destroyed. That these fires were
caused by the insurgents cannot he de-
MED. and IL may be that some OF the
foreign naval commanders in the east
are disposed 10 seize upon the pretext
that their interests demand protection
to make landing or do something OBJ
noxious TO the United States and likely
TO encourag 81 the insurgents. With such
a strong naval force as would be af-
forded by the reinforcement of Deweys
fleet by the oregon. there could not he
any reason for any such action on the
part OF third parties.
