The sacred Constitution, shall it be
changed? That is the question about
which the Virginia Democracy is to-day
most excited So it is and ever has been
with Democracy. 1t will 90 wild over
some sentiment and be perfectly dead to
practical, living issues.
A writer from Tazewell publishes COM
munication in the Lynchburg "News'
which is a strong argument against the
"May conference" men. He says: ga
few individuals have resolved themselves
into a committee on credentials. The
countersign is not the good of all the peo-
Pile, but of the few"
May Day brought JOY to thousands
Of workingmen, who on that day had an
advance of wages. The Sloss Iron and
Steel Company, of Birmingham, Ala, ad-
vanced the wages of 1000 employees, and
the Tennessee Coal and Iron Co., made
an advance for 5000 men. At Cleveland,
Ohio, $500 mechanics had their wages in
creased, while at Springfield, Ohio, l,500
employees of large harvesting manufac-
tory received an advance of 10 per cent.
in their wages. The same thing occurred
at many other points in the United States.
Senator Martins plum tree has been
yiAlding so much fruit that it will be hard
to get the Virginia Democracy to desert
him.
Col. Funston, the Kansas hero, who has
been doing such good service in the Phil
ippines has been made Brigadier Cen
eral by President Mckinley. His ances-
tors went from Southwestern Virginia to
the West.
As soon as Aguinaldo realizes that the
United States Government will not bribe
him to quit fighting, he will bring hostili-
! ties to a close.
DR.. John D. Quackenbos, emeritus pro-
fessor at Columbia University, has recent
ly conducted some interesting experiments
in hypnolism. He has succeeded in these
experiments in curing boys OF the Gig
arrette habit. If such experiments are
successful, hypnotism will be great bless
ing to the human race.
The Richmond papers, the Times and
Dispatch, seem tohave different views of
the plans and purposes of the May con-
ference.
Colonel Henry Watterson has not men,
toned any new name for the Democratic
nomination for President in 1900. What's
the matter with Funston?
The outlook this year for the farmers of
the United States is rather bright, and
still we hear of no famines in Europe.
The.expansion which is most terrifying
to the calamity howlers, is the constant
expansion of the wages of the men who
work in the shops and mines of the coun.
try.
Have the Virginia Democrats ever con.
sidered whether Thomas Jefferson was in
favor of an honest election law?
The Richmond Times says: ''The MAY
convention is running under full head of
steam this week" Look outl that Martin
does not ''bust the biler."

Enjoys Came Direct From A6uinaldO,
THEIR MISSION PRUITLESS.
They Ask for u Truce of Ninety Days,
But the Conference Barren Of Re
suits. AguinaldO Wants peace
With Dignity"

On yesterday there was another con-
ference between General Otis and the en-
voys, who confessed that they came di-
rect from Agunaldo. The Fililinos asked
for truce of three months so that their
Congress could assemble and consult with
insurgents leaders. Otis declined to ac-
cede to the proposition.
The exodus from the insurgents lines
continues. Small skirmishes are still TAX
Ing place between the opposing forces. 1t
is thought that Aguinaldo will yield or
that his support will fall away from him.

For Observation-Disclosures q
MAKE NO new PROPOSALS.
The Commissioners Declare That
Auuinaldo has no Authority to Sur
render the Arms without the Con-
sent of the Congress.

Manila. Nav 2.-Major Manuel Arguelles
and Lieutenant Jose Bernal, of the stan OF
General Antonio Luna, returned here to-
day to renew and press the request OF
General Luna for a cessation of hostilities.
The officers were received in conference
by Major General Z, S. Otis. The pro-
posals which they had to submit differed
but slightly from those which they brought
from the Filipino commander in the first
place. They desired little time in which
to summon the Congress, and expressed
themselves as being confident that the
Congress, will decree peace, because the
people desire it. They represent that
Aguinaldo is without power to surrender
the arms. and that Congress must decide
that question. Incidentally, the Filipino
envoys asserted that Aguinaldo had not
vet made a fair test of his strength against
the American forces because only one
third of his army had been assembled 10
gether.
The envoys presented letter from
Senor Mabini, president and Minister OF
Foreign Affairs in the cabinet OF Agunal-
do. and who is the backbone of the Filipl'
no organization. The communication is
personal and unofficial and seconds Major
Arguelles' arguments.
9sorHER CONFERENCES TODAY
The envoys will see General Otis again
tomorrow. They will sleep tonight IN
Manila. They lunched with General Mac
Arthur at his headquarters on car OF the
armored train at Calumpit before coming
to Manila.
Whether or not General Luna is sincere
in his overtures, the negotiations are CIV
ING the insurgents much needed oppor-
tunitv to rehabilitate their forces. The
truth is that dissensions among the leaders
of the rebels is helping the disorganization
of the Filipino army as much as the
American campaign.
In the course of the conference with the
Filipino ENJOYS, General Otis agreed with
the statement of Major Arguelles that the
people of the Philippine Islands wanted
neace. and he added that requests for pro-
lection are pouring in upon him from all
parts of the country.
Major General Lawton was engaged IN
hard fighting early this morning. Tele'
graphic communication was cut at 3
O'Clock a. M, and there have been no re-
ports from General Lawton since that
time.

Yesterday for shooting General Walker,
One of his counsel declared in his speech
that Davis was peacemaker; and 1.-THE

peacemaker whose friends at first boldly
denied that Davis did the shooting and
then had him to come into court and con-
fess it?

4 Few Pertinent Points in
Connection With This
Display and Sale,

There is a price point below which quality can
not exist. With all the Economy of close buy
ing, close figuring and modern methods of manu-
facture, there are certain items Of cost which Can
not be eliminated
Lookout for trash.
The Children's sale here at special prices is
worthy Of more than the usual amount Of atten-
ton.
Firm, evenly woven percales, piques, lawns,
calicoes and nansooks Of good weight, but not of
the weight that comes of loading the fabric with
starch; sewing that shows attention by skilled
work people; good lengths correct widths; gener-
Gus hens and new trimming.
We do not say 25 cents worth 80 cents-only
25 cents. The items marked 81 are more than
twice as good as those marked so cents, even
though there may be shade more proftin some
of the last.
These little dresses come in all the popular
shades Of lawns percales ginghams, and calicoes,
trimmed with aces and braids. The white ones
Of figured piques, plain nansooks and India
linens, are trimmed with rufles finished with
lace; also ribbon and novelty braids The verdict
Of the ladies who have seen them is: "They are
beautifully made" The sizes are from to II
years, prices from 40 cents to $3.50 each and
not garment in the whole lot that is not good
value
But you are the judges.

Readable AdYertisem

The merchants of Washington are setting
a pace for those of the other cities of the
country In the matter of preparing their
trade announcements to the public a
glance through the advertising columns of
The Star will amply show how superior are
the modern statements from the shops and
stores to those of few years ago, before
the mel chants learned the lesson of pub
icity. To the average person there is often
no more readable portion of the issue than
these advertising columns, replete with in
formation and affording a bright, accurate
picture of the city's daily life. The art of
advertising has advanced materially in this
particular in a very short time. and it is
the Judgment of all experts in the national
field that Washington deserves a large
share of the credit for the innovation. The
advertisement readers-who have increased
remarkably in number since the new ideas
began to prevail-appreciate the change
They now find the perusal of the trade an
nouncements in The Star pleasure to
which they look forward from Issue to is
sue The merchants have learned, for one
thing, that the more frankly and fully they
take the public into their confidence the
more surely the public will patronize them.
therefore these announcements reflect the
fluctuations of the trade and the causes
winch contribute to produce rising fall
ing prices. 1t is difficult to estimate accu-
rately the educational effect of this de-
parture from the former method of merely
stating the name and location of the es-
Enlistment and leaving il to the caprice of
the customer to determine whether he will
purchase or not BY this process of in
fusing certain amount of literary quality
into the advertisements the merchants take
the first long step toward the customer in
invitation and instruction. Thus the new
method is Of benefit to all concerned, the
merchant, who stimulates a wholesome in
terest on the part of the possible pur-
chaser; the customer, who finds where he
can buy best and cheapest. and the news
paper, which by serving the medium of
communication between these two parties,
broadens its range of circulation, increases
its power as d popular agency and secures
a profit which both sides are willing and
eager to pay for the privilege of using this
daily bulletin.

The National Verdict.
From the New York Evening Post

From the New York Evening Post
Although no Federal officials were chosen
yesterday, except in four congressional dis
tricts to fill vacancies in the House of Rep
resentatives, a national aspect was given
to the campaign in so many states that the
result must be accepted as a verdict of the
country on the Mckinley adminfstratio ton,
and especially on its policy of expansion
The Judgment of the people was SO clearly
expressed that no room is left for doubt as
to the attitude of the nation Ohio is the
state upon which all eyes have been CEN
tered. The important feature of the result
is that. leaving Cincinnati and Cleveland
out of the account, the state at large gives
a much greater majority in support of the
Mckinley administration on its policy of
expansion than 1t gave in the corresponding
election two years ago, before that policy
had developed. The President has his own
state behind him. Endorsement of the adj
ministration is equally clear elsewhere
Iowa furnishes the clearest test of popular
sentiment regarding the expansion issue
In that state there were no local, personal
or factional considerations involved. A
democrat of high character ran against the
excellent republican governor The demo-
Gratis dropped the silver issue, and made
their fight on the question of expansion
The republicans met them without shrink
ing. The result is a greatly increa sed re-
publican majority.
similar state of feeling has been die
closed everywhere. The issue of expansinp
was made openly and clearly yesterday in
the Franklin Ha mpshire district of Massa
chusetts, where Mr.. Parsons, who as a re.
publican member of the last legislature on

an independent. with democratic support on
his record, and was beaten by 600 votes in
