NO EXTRA SESSION THIS
SUMMER.

Those who are not disposed to take
events as a matter of course may be
somewhat puzzled by the newborn but
sonorous movement to set, straight
way, about the selection of delegates
to Constitutional Convention. In
view of the fact that It was the I'M
doubted sentiment of the Democratic
State Convention. as also of Senator
Daniel and Attomey-Gener Monta-
que, that nothing should be done in this
matter after the May election until the
Presidential campaign was over, the
sudden pressure on Governor Tyler to
call an extra session OF the General As
sembly is food for thought, IL not for
amazement. That the people of the
State are In hot haste to have the pres
ent Constitution revised. there Is no
reason to suppose. The light vote poll
ed on the call for convention pre-
cludes such an hypothesis. Constitu-
tlonal revision, however necessary, is
not regarded by the great body of the
people as of such extreme urgency that
the selection of the revisionary body
can not wait until after the Presidential
election. Clearly the demand for an
extra session of the Legislature this
summer does not come from the people
OF Virginia.
The program we gather from the pub
lie prints that are supplying extra see-
sion sentiment Is to have the General
Assembly meet this summer, to pro-
vide that the Constitutional Convention
shall consist of a small number OF del
egates and to provide for their election
this fail.

dozen others in the dining car beside my

dragged very far, but was torn from the

by spreading rails The forward coaches

passengers were due to broken glass and
were more in the nature of cuts and
scratches. rather than broken limbs or
more dangerous cuts The accident hap
pened shortly after IL o'clock and 1t was
nearly 6 o'clock before the special train
started on through. The injured per-
sons were taken to Chippewa Falls as
quickly es possible while physicians were
soon at the scene of the accident, caring
for those who appeared to be more Sc
r;ously hurt. For an accident of the
kind the passengers in general were in
deed thankful to escape as lightly as
most of them did. 1t was remarkable
that more persons were not badly hurt,
or, perhaps, killed.

LONDON, Feb r22-Lord Roberts list
of forty-nine killed and wounded officers,
including two generals, in the engage
ments up to Sunday evening, causes
anxiety, especially as in the official lists
neither the loss of the Welsh and Essex
regiments nor those of the mounted in
fantry are included. This is about the
number that fell at Colenso, where the
non-commissioned officers and men
brought the total losses to about SOO
1t is considered strange that when send
ing his casualties Lord Roberts gives no
information as to the result OF the fight
ing. If he has sent such report the
war office is Withholding 1t. Moreover,
nothing is known as to what took place
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. There
was absence of details from Lord Rob
erts dispatch, contrasted with his rather
full narratives during the first part of his
operations, which produces uneasiness
among military observers. The morning
newspapers, both editorially and critical
ly, express the opinion that Gen. Cronje
has been able to beat his pursuers, and
is being reinforced by rail from Lady
smith, and by forces on foot and horse
back from Northern Cape Colony, as well
as the late beleaguerers Of Kimberley.
AS the correspondents with Lord Rob
erts are silent, the kilograms from Boer
sources receive some credence. The lat
ter aver that Gen. Cronje, while the Brit
ish were endeavoring to surround him at
Praaderberg and Koodoes Rand, received
reinforcements under Dewel, and that to-
gether the Boer commanders fought the
British to a standstill.
However all this may be. public opinion
will not be reassured until the war Office
issues explicit statements Of successes,
which, of course, would clear away the
gathering doubts respecting the uninter-
rupted success of Lord Roberts forward

morning The wreck was caused by
spreading Of the rails, which ditched the

capped without injuries. A special train,

made for carrying the passengers to that
city. The train arrived there at s p. m.

The through passengers who were on
the wrecked train arrived in ST. Paul at
o'clock this morning. By this time
some of them who thought they had
escaped without injury began to feel the
effects of bruises and the severe shaking
up they received, though none complained
of serious injury. Arne Seboe, of Rob-

wreck His head and hands were plenti-
fully bandaged on account Of cuts and
scratches from broken glass. Mr.. Se-
Doe was in the smoking car, the third of
the train, when the accident happened.
The coach was dragged some distance
on its side and the broken glass flew in
all directions. Mr. Seboe was cut about
the head and had two deep wounds on
his face, one on the cheek and another
on the chin. Arthur Cook of Menasha.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21-The investi-
cation Of the mining troubles and the
conduct of the United States forces In
Idaho last summer continued today be-
fore the house committee on military af-
fairs.
Frederic c. Robertson resumed his
narrative, begun yesterday, giving the
legal proceedings he adopted in behalf
of the imprisoned miners, and the dit-
fculties he claims to have encountered
from the military authorities. state and
court. He says he was refused permis~
sion to be present at the inquest of those
killed during the outbreak and was un,
able to communicate with the accused
miners as to their rights, although rep
resentatives of the mining company were
present. He protested to the attorney
general that the miners were being de-
MED the right of counsel.
The witness said Gen. Merriam was in
charge Of the bull pen" These were
improvised quarters. as no prison was
available and consisted of old buildings
and box cars surrounded by a wire fence.

c. Rankin, treasurer Of the Populist ma

was not very hopeful that the party

an The recent split in the party, Mr..
Rankin says, is due to the enormous IN
crease in the output of gold, which has
done much to discourage those Of the
party who were with the Democrats In

NATIVES WARNED.
The arrest Of a Tagal on the charge Of

Mia yesterday, it is said at the depart

icy toward the insurgents who still re-
main under arms. AS the summary pun
ishment of guerrillas cannot be had until
some action has been taken to declare the
termination of the application Of the rules

some kind of proclamation to the natives,
warning them that if they defy the rules
or pursue predatory warfare, they will
be treated as guerrillas when captured

that the army has reached the end of It's
functions in the islands, and that the
time is ripe for the establishment of civ
II government throughout the archipela-
go. 1t is hoped that the personnel can
be complete before the end of next week.
1t appears that Mr. DENLY was obliged to
decline reappointment as commissioner,
on account of physical inability to stand
the hard work that will be involved
throughout the visit to all islands to set
up local governments.

MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE.
Innocent Man Sent to Prison by Fed
eraI Authorities.

OTTUMWA, To-, Feb. A-An unfor-
tunate miscarriage Of justice has just
come to light here. w. A. Daggett, of
Abba, was arrested two years ago by
United States Marshal Wray, charged
with violation of liquor laws. He was
bound to the grand jury and indicted.
When he was arraigned before Commits.
sioner Hunter here, he avowed his In
nocence, and reiterated the denial of
guilt before the federal court of Keokuk.
He was sentenced to one year, however,
and has just been liberated. Meantime
Wray had been superseded by w. T.
Richards, who took an interest in the re-
peated denials, and first inquiries result>
ed today in the arrest of William Le>
van, of Abba, for perjury. Richards says
he has undoubted proof of Daggett's in
nocence, as he was in another part of the
country. Others are implicated and ar
rests will follow
