The Virginian-Pilot presents Its read.
ers this morning with another series
of interviews with Democratic leaders
of the State, on the propositions to hold
a convention to revise the Constitution
of the State, and to submit the result
of the deliberations of the convention
to the people at the polls for their YER
dict.
1t is proper to state that several Of
the gentlemen with whom interviews
were obtained were in Norfolk yester-
day and kindly gave us their views for
publication.
HON. E. w. SAUNDERS.
Hon. T., w. Saunders, of Franklin
county. Speaker of the House of Dele
gates. writes as follows:
Your letter Of recent date to hand.
have nothing to submit for publica-.
ton. but agree with you that the office
holders are making no organized OPP
position % the convention.
Il fear the opposition OF accumulated
wealth and the corporations more than
that of the of1ice-holders. Our conven-
ton on yesterday instructed the dele
gates to the Norfolk convention to sup
port the call for the Constitutional
Convention. Yours truly,
'I1. w. SAUNDERS"

Preparing to Strike Crushing Blow
The Beers Will Attempt to Delay this

London, April 6 o. NIT looks to-
day as though the Beers had conceived
the audacious plan OF attempting to
invest Lord Roberts al Bloemfontein or
at least to endeavor to delay his north
ward advance by harrassing the Brit
ish lines of communication.
On his side Lord Roberts is conccn-
trating his forces and preparing to take
every advantage or the bold but risky
tactics of the enemy. lie Is not likely
to strike at any OF heir forces until
he is certain of delivering a crushing
blow.
The situation, in the absence of any
official dispatch from Lord Roberts. is
both mystifying and interesting. There
is little doubt that Lord RAoberts Is
hampered by the necessity for re-
mounts and transport, and the loss Of
the convey guns and all of Colonel
Broadwood's baggage was n serious
matter. The Beers are now trusting 10
what they believe to their superior mo-
bility.
The special correspondents at the
front are now dcnouncing Lord
Roberts policy of leniency toward the
Free Staters. and are calling for an
abandonment of that policy.
a special dispatch announces that
MafekinG was still besieged, but safe,

transport OF British troops across Por-
tuguese territory from Beira, Portu-
guese East Africa. into Rhodesia, hav-
ing been brought up In the Chamber of
Deputies, the Minister of Foreign Az
fairs, Senior Beirao made the follow
ing statement:
1.-THE transport Of British soldiers by
railroad from Beira to Umtali was re-
quested by Great Britain and consent
ed to by Portugal because the British
Government thereby only exercised a
. right recognized In the treaties be-
tween the two countries. The out
break OF war has not abrogated these
treaties, which were concluded and
bigned prior to the war by Portugal in

MOVEMENT GIVEN UP.

London. April 4.-Gencral Colvllle and
General French have given up the
movement against the Beers east OF
Bloemfonten and have rejoined the
mai Nanny. Lord Roberts doubtless
deemed it vain to send from ten to
twelve thousand Of his best troops into
the wilderness with a field transport in
the direction ut n right angle with his
chosen line of advance. The Beers have
probably moved elsewhere. and il to
the southwest General Colville could as
easily strike them from Bloemfontcin
as by following them up across the
plains These differences still leave the
situation bewlderlng for the time be-
ing. The enormously superior British
forces appear inactive in every part OF
the war field waiting yet, probably, for
the accumulation OF material for a
swift advance on the Transvaal from

D. w. MARQUART'S DEATH
Was Due to Ill IS Falling From a Third
story Window.

Guthrie, O. T., Sept. 22.-The circum-
stances surrounding the death of d. w.
Marquart, whose funeral occurred this
week at Norman, are peculiarly sad, ac-
cording to the Transcript: He did not
die Of any disease-in fact, was recover
ing from his ailment and was feeling
better than he had for several weeks.
He was under the care of a specialist in
Louisville, KY, and was at the doctors
private residence On Monday morning
a young doctor had charge of him as
nurse and attendant. 1t was very warm
and the nurse wetn to the door to prop
it open. When he turned around Mr..
Marquart was not in sight, and when a
search was made for him 1t was found
he had fallen through the window. The
room was in the third story and the body
of the unfortunate gentlemen was found
upon the pavement under it. He never
regained consciousness, and died in three
hours, the cause of death being given as
conclusion Of the brain. It is thought
he had gone to the window to get a
breath Of fresh air, and was there taken
with dizzy or fainting spell and fell
through the window head foremost, car
rying the screen with him. Two days
after the telegram announcing his death
was received by Mrs. Marquart, she re-
ceived a letter from him written on Sun
day; written in a cheerful vein and
seemingly with a full assurance that he
would recover.

PLAY DAYS AT BLACKWELL
Enjoyable Festivities and Everybody

Guthrie o. T., Sept 2L-The Ponca
City Courier says of the recent festivi-
ties at Blackwell: The celebration
which closed on Tuesday night at Black
well was a great success in point of at
tendance and in entertainment OF guests
as well. 1t was conducted under the
auspices Of the Blackwell band, which
organization made all the arrangements
and had the proceeds of the street con-
cessions to help pay the expenses of the
two days festivities. The speaking billed
for the decision was a dismal failure,
but it was because the crowd was not
in the humor to listen TO political har-
argues. Bob Neff's party could not lrum
up enopgh people to make a school house
audience in spite Of all efforts. The pa
rades of the two days were very good
indeed under the circumstances The
flower parade Tuesday evening was hand
some and original One of the nuisances
Of the occasion was the rubber ball, with
a rubber tied to it. They promoted en-
tirel ytoo much familiarity to suit the
average person. Many ladies were just
ly very indignant over the rude treat
ment they received. Taking the show all
around the people were well satisfied
