The movement for the popular#elec-
ton of United States senators is NOV
ing slowly, but it is surely moving. At
it's last session the legislature Of Penn
sylvania authorized the appointment
of committee Of two senators and
three representatives to confer with
the legiSla lures of other states with the
view to bringing about the submission
of an amendment to the federal consti-
tuition for the election of senators and
also Of president and vice president by
popular vote. This committee has just
held a meeting in Philadelphia, at
which it was announced that communi-
cations have been received from the
secretaries of state Of every state in
the Union except Arkansas and that in
the western states particularly there Is
a strong feeling in favor Of electlng
United States senators by popular vote.
It, was decided to ask other states to
send representatives to a conference to
be held next spring with the view Of
adopting uniform plan of procedure.
There is unquestionably strong senti-
ment throughout the country in favor
of the election Of United States SEN
ators directly by the people, and the
plan suggested in Pennsylvania seems
likely to concentrate this sentiment in
to an extremely effective force.

HEROIC RESCUE
IN DANYlLLE
A Negro Driver Saves the Wife of
Portner's Manager, Who Was III
n
in a Burning Building.
Especial Dispatch to The Times


DANvILLE. VA, August 7--Fire broke
out at 1915 p N. to-day close to the shed
annex of the Robert Portner Brewing Com
pany's agency, just across the tracks from
the Southern Railway depot. The alarm
was promptly turned in, and the fire de-
partnent hurried to the scene. In less
than five minutes two streams were at
work on the buildings, that were found to
be in light blaze along the whole rear of
the two-story and lowered main building,
and rapidly sweeping toward the front.
In the northerly room Of the second
story, Mrs. J. ". Gibson, wife of the local
manager, was found in bed i'll and in se-
rous danger, the room being filled with
smoke and tongues of fame occasionally
breaking through the wall.
She was rescued by being carried tender
ly down ladder in her bed clothes, by a
colored driver of Portner's, William Law
son. who rescued her at great personal
risk, and was hurried to a place of safety
and rest in carriage.
The department made a plucky fight, and
though the roof of the shed annex, store
room, work-room. ETC.. fell in from the tin
roof, most evrEthng of value had been
saved before this. The tower was de-
stroyed and the rear of the main building
badly injured, but the loss will not be
great, unless the bottling and handling
machinery Is destroyed, which II is now
thought is not a fact.
It was what is termed "a nasty fire to
fight" SO many angles, corners, divisions.

buildings. but the men fought it in the

Not only was the Southern Railway de-
pot in danger, but the gasometer was but

SERIOUS DIFFERENCES.
The Powers Said TO be at Odds in Re
gard TO Van. Tse Valley.

(By Associated Press.)
BERLIN, August 1.-THE German For
eign Office admits that serious differences
have broken out between the Powers with
reference to the advance itself and to the
measures being taken in the Yang Use
Valley. GermanyFs opinion regarding the
steps Great Britain has taken in the Yang
Use region is one of disapproval, inasmuch
as Germany, with a number of other
Powers, Is as much interested as England
in keeping the Yang Use Valley open for
commerce.
The Foreign Office believes that in this
particular all the Powers except England
are agreed.
It is learned that the United States En-
bassy has Informed the Foreign Office
that the American Government desires un-
der ali conditions that the Yang Use
Kiang be left open for American trade.
and that Washington will also oppose all
schemes for the division of China, no mat
ter from what Power they may proceed.
1t is understood that this attitude is
fully approved by the German Govern
nent since it comedies with the wishes of
Germany.
The correspondent further learns that
Japan on this same question has aban-
doned England and has already sought
and found the friendship of Berlin.
