the statements OF the interested So
called trade reviews ne accepted, busi'
ness failures are more numerous now
than they have been for years past, and
a dispatch from that good republican
State OF Vermont, of yesterdays date
reports the failure of q savings bank
tiere, because those to whom it had
made loans could not raise the money
to pay what they had borrowed. These
are prosperous times for those who

AN EXTRA SEssIoN.-A dispatch
from Richmond says: Governor Tyler
has fixed on q schedule concerning the
constitutional convention matter, In
which it is thought al will acquiesce,
one of which will obvate the necessity
of mixing State and national politics
in the fall election and yet not create
Injurious delay to the convention move
N nt. He proposes to call the legisla-
ture in extra session on November 10,
hold the election for delegates in jan
uary, call the convention Immediately
after, and then permit the people to
vote on the action OF the convention at
the May election. This plan would
prevent any break or hitch In the
terms OF any Of the officials OF the
State, the legislature OF 1902 electing
all the county and circuit judges and
other officers for their full terms Thus
it will be seen the entire question will
have been disposed Of before the next
regular session OF the legislature. in
December, 1901, when that body will
be ready to proceed under the new
constitution and shape the laws accord
ingly. 1t s believed. when this plan
is outlined, that those who advocated q
Gail of the legislature in July, will &C.
cept 1t and that there will no longer
be any division in the party on the
subject.

THE CHINESE TROUBLES

The trouble 10 China continues. The
international forces from TieD Tsin were
yesterday forty miles from Pekin, fight
ing their way. Two more trains started
from Tien Tsin, carrying 219 Russians
and 81 French marines. A dispatch
from Shanghai, not confirmed, says
four thousand Russian troops are
marching toward Pekin. British Off
Gals do not credit dispatch from st.
Petersburg that, as an understanding
between Russia and the other powers,
six thousand Russian troops are held 10
readiness at Port Arthur to leave for
Tien Tsin.
The Emperor OF China, through his
| confidential advisers, has proposed that
the foreign powers shall remove him
from the palace III which he lie confined
as prisoner, declare the Dowager En-
press usurper and establish protec
torate to govern the country through
the Emperor.
Another report states that Emperor
Kwang Hsu, is reported to be anxious
to GUST the Dowager Emp :ess and re-
sumo his power.
A csblegram states that there has
been street fighting in Pekin since ear.
ly Sunday afternoon. The Russians are
making large purchases Of canned pro-
visions at Shanghai, and everything
points to an outbreak OF hostililies. All
British missionaries will probably be Or
dered to return quickly to treaty ports.
The United States, according to dis
patches from Copenhagen, have given
HEARTY adhesion" to the scheme for
European demonstration. The Russian
Minister in Pekin, who also acts as the
envoy OF Denmark, is credited with
having sent dispatch to the Danish
Foreign Office to the effect that dem
onstration has been planned, under the
leadership of England and Russia, in
| which all the great powers and several
| of the smaller ones will take part.
The Navy Department has received
the following cablegram from Admiral
| Kempf, at Taku, China:
"In case all Communication to Pekiu
| is cut, not able to 90 alone; if other ma
tons 20 will join to relieve Americans
pending instructions. Situation seri.

Romano publishes letter from Arch
bishop Ireland to Cardinal Rsmpolls,
the papal secretary OF state, written
May %, in which Ireland denies having
views contrary to the Pope's regarding
the temporal dominion Of the papacy.

of Norfolk, president of the Catholic
Union OF Great Britain, in which Ire
land is said to have denounced the tenn
poral power Of the Pope and to have

TUESDAY EVENING. JUNE 10, 1900.

GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT is q parry
map. He was once civil service re-
former, but be has gotten over tna'
youthful vsgary, and has become a
s,alwart, even going so far as TO oner
a sanctuary to his murderous pal, the
insurgent ex-cIaimant Of the governor
ship of Kentucky. Heis rich, too, and
could not lose, but probably ssin' oy
obeying his party's call. Therefore,
even though he would rather fill his
present office another term, it is by no
means likely that if the national repuo-
licsu convention next week should
nominate him for Vice President, he
would refuse to accept it and march at
the head OF the trust forces, and lead
them as he is alleged by his touters to
have led the rough riders in skirmish
during the Spanish war.

FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED. -Richa. ~
Dye, a union veteran, was found dead
in the Potomac river near the bridge at
Hancock, Md, on Sunday. He left
Cumberland Tuesday, going down the
railroad track. He gave no intimation
to Scott Kelso, with whom he resided,
that he vas going away, but his object,
it is thought, was to enter the Soldiers
Home at Washington. He was last
seen on Saturday wandering along the
railroad track, but his body was found
nearly quarter of mile away from
the railroad In the river with deep cut
across the forehead. Foul play is sus-
pected.
Dye was an experienced horseman
and had been in the Kelso family for 80
years. John Kelso, father OF Scott Kel-
80, provided for him in bis will. Dye
fought four years in the Union army in
Company c, Second District of Column

THE RIDDICK TRIAL.

At Lswrenceville yesterday the jury
10 the case of Rev. J. E. r. Riddick
whose counsel pleaded insanity as cause
for the murder OF DR.. w. p. Temple
after having the case under considera.
ton since Saturday noon returned the
following verdict "We, the jury, find
the prisoner guilty of manslaughter and
ascertain his punishment at three years
10 the State penitentiary."
When at ten o'clock in the morning
the jury had not agreed, Mr. Davis, fol
toe defense, suggested a compromise
verdict of maDslaughter. III do moi
want to force any mans conscience" be
said, shut as this is not matter OF fact
but OF opinion, suggest compromise.
Commonwealth Attorney Buford die
DOT think the jury should be kept TO-
gether any longer than was necessary
to ascertain that, upon full discussion
and comparison OF their views, they
we're unable to agree. He coDtended
that il the prisoner was not insane, be
was guilty OF murder 10 the first degree
The jury retired to their room again
and 10 few moments returned with the
verdict.
Mr.. Davis moved that the court sci
the verdict aside as being contrary tC
the law and evidence. He said the
motion was m erely a formal one and he
did not think he would insist on it, but
wished to consult the other attorneys
and asked that the court be adjourned
till the 19.h, which was done.
Riddick told bis counsel that he left
the question OF an appeal entirely in
their hands. There will hardly be an
appeal. Riddick will be sent to the peni
tentiary in few days. If he proves t.
be insane he will be sent to an asylum
The verdict is a most unsatisfactory
one to the people. They would have
been satisfied at eighteen years In toe
penitentisry and nothing less.

the navy department that the effort
made in some of the French newspa-
pers to connect Lieutenant Sims, late
naval attache at Paris, with the dis
closures relative 10 the French gun are
based UDOn misrepresentation of the
facts. Lieutenant Sims was slated for
sea duty many months ago. and, in
fact, the department named and sent
over a successor to him in the capacity
Of naval attache TO the United States
embassy in the person of Commander
Giles 3. Barber. Lieutenant Sims was
detained in Paris for some months by
the department at the request of the
Pollock heirs, having been charged
with the distribution of the munificent
prizes bestowed by them upon the in
ventors of devices for saving life at
sea. However, this work was wound
up some time ago, and Lieutenant Sims
was ordered from Paris to Gibraltar
solely for the purpose of joining there
the battleship Kentucky, which is max
ing her way to Manila, via Suez. He
boarded the Kentucky and began his
work long before the first publication
relative to the disclosure of the secret

Inadequate accommodations.
Further specifying, the complaint
states that the car taken at Seattle
was wholly UNFIT for use by the travel

children of the troupe contracted ty-
pilOid fever, four of the children con-
tracted diphtheria and five were in

is alleged that the theatrical company
was guaranteed at Butte on Oct. Is,

an adequate car in good sanitary con-
dition and keep il so.

claimed for loss of profits in necessar-

$500 for money expended for medical
attendance, medicines and disinfect-
