a little incident of a visit to Queen

little incident of visit to Queen Victoria.
 Miss Sartain was a member of the International Council of Women, and they were invited to meet the Queen at Windsor Castle. The Queen met them in the driveway. The women were lined up on either side of the road, and the carriage of Queen Vic toria passed slowly through the line, the Queen lowing to right and left. Alter the royal carriage passed out of the gate the Countess of Aberdeen in- vited the women, in the Queens name, into Windsor Castle to have tea.
 Miss Sartain remembered her aunt, who was living with her in Philadel- phia, but who was born before the English Queen, and had gone to school at Windsor. So she decided to put one of the little English biscuits into her pocket, and send 1t to her aunt in America.
 She slipped the little wafer into the pocket of her skirt, and hurried, with a friend, to catch a train for London then down sat Miss Sartain on the biscuit, never once thinking of such thing as back pocket.
 Not till midnight did she remember the biscuit-then, diving into her pocket, she found nothing but crumbs! Miss Sartain gathered the crumbs to- gether, wrapped them in tissue paper, and mailed them to America And the aunt swallowed them loyalty and said, God save the Queen!"

STILL WRANGLING
 OYER AMENDMENT
Cuban Constitution Convention Comes to No Conclusion.
 Several Votes Taken

Havana, April IA secret session or the Cuban constitutional convention was held today and attended by twenty~nVe delegates. Among the absentees were 5enor Giberea, senor Quitas and Gem eral sanguilly, strong supporters of the Platt amendment. The first matter con- sldered was a resolution from the Plan- ters' Association recommending the con- vention to accept the amendment with proviso that the United States govern ment should make reduction of 5O per cent. in their favor over similar pro- ducts from other countries. The resolu- ton was tabled without discussion.
 The majority report of the committee on relations, signed by Senors Gomez' Silvela and villuendas, was read, but ar ter d discussion which showed that majority of the delegates were opposed to it, resolution to lay 1t on the table was carried. A similar disposition was made on reports from Senors De Quesaoa, Tamayo, NuneE and Giberga.
 A motion by Senor Montea8uedo to ap- point committee to go to Wasnington was defeated by a vote of IS to 12.
 It was finally decided to hold public session of the convention tomorrow when an attempt will probably be made to reconsider the Monteaguedo motion.

HAVANA MAKES A
 SPLENDID START
Begins April Without a Single Case of Yellow Fever,
 The Situation

Havana, April i.--For the first time in the history of Havana the month of April begins without a single case of yellow fe- yer in the city Maj. w. C. Gorgas, chief sanitary officer, is confident that with the sanitary measures now being enforced and the valuable information gained dur ing the recent investigations of the yel- low fever commission, there will be but few cases during the coming season. The marine hospital service is also taking pre- cautions against the bringing of infection into Havana from Mexican and other ports. pr. Glennon, chief surgeon, has is- sued orders for a quarantine against these ports beginning April IS.
 It Is thought that many cases in Ha- vana last year were brought In from Vera Cruz which Is only two days sail from Havana. Hereafter passengers from Vera Cruz will be obliged to remain in quaran- tine for three days. The emigrant station is used only as temporary quarters for immigrants who have no employment on arriving here. Under the old arrange ment they remained in Havana, and not being immune, they contracted yellow fe- yer and frequently spread 1t through the country districts. Immigrants are now kept isolated until employment is secured for them, and then they are shipped di- rect into the country. The number of yell low fever cases In Havana has decreased wonderfully since these precautions were taken.
 A regular quarantine station was built by the Spaniards at Mar.el. It Is con sidered one of the best in the marine hos pital service, and will be retained by the United States under the clause In the Platt amendment relating to sanitation.

AMENDMENT FILED
To Charter of United States Steel
 Corporation.

Trenton, N. J.. April 1.-The United States Steel Corporation this afternoon filed with the Secretary of State articles amending it's charter and increasing it's capital stock to LIDO, 600.
 The States fee for the filing of the paper was 1920 900.
 The original articles filed some time ago were only amended in one particular. This amendment was made for the pur- pose of taking advantage of an act pass ed by the recent Legislature.
 Originally the corporation could not merge or pledge it's property or any of the stock of any other company except by the affirmative vote of owners of two thirds of the capital stock. Under the amended charter It Is necessary to have only the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the stock represented in person or by proxy at any meeting of the corporation. The reason for the change Is the fear that the stock will become so scattered that it would be impossible to get two thirds of the entire stock represented at a meeting.

LOOKS LIKE THE
 RUMOR IS TRUE
Trustworthy Information That ToIStoi Has Been Banish-
 ed from Russia

St. Petersburg. April Tt was rumored several days ago, but generally discredit- ed, that Count Leo Tolstoi had been ban ished from Russia because of the at tempted assassination of Privy Councillor Pobiedonostzeff, chief procurator of the Holy Synod, who was shot at early on the morning of March 22 while sitting in his study, the attempt being attributed to a desire for revenge growing out of the ex- communication of Count Tolstoi.
 Owing to the indefiniteness of the ru- nor 1t was disregarded by the correspond ent here of the Associated Press. Now, however, the correspondent has received a private letter from usually trustwor- thy source in Wilma, capital of the gov ernment of that name. showing that Count Tolstoi was reported to have passed through Wilma on March 26, being escorted to the frontier by two gendarmes.

 "Oh, Ethel, How could you? How could you?'

 The campaign has been hot on both sides. Hancey is backed up by the He- publican machine, headed by Congress- man Lorimer, which has dominated the last three Republican city conventions and lost the last two city elections. Ex- Governor Altgeld is opposed to Harrison but his opposition is expected to carry less weight than two years ago when he was an independent Democratic candi- date opposed to Harrison, and z. K.

Russia's Position.

St. Petersburg, April 1.-The Russian government publicists do not cease to emphasize the radical differences between the Russian position towards China and that of the other powers. The Move Vre- mia, developing this, says:
 For others. China is merely a mar ket which they can leave disease, a bet ter one if it become profitable. Russia cannot leave China because of her i'm mense frontier"
 While recognizing the truth in this con- nection, the foreign merchants are prcb- ably less complacent than the Move Vremia in contemplating the possibili- ties of their seeking substitute for the Chinese market
