Gen. w. O. Oates Advocates an Rdu-

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May 19.-Tba
paramount issue before the Alabama
constitutional convention, which meets
mere tuesday, is the elimination of the
negro vote. Other matters to be con-
sidered are: Smaller counties for the
state; reform in the judicial system: the
elimination of local legislation from the
work Of the general assembly and school
taxation.
There is disposition to do away with
the chancery courts as useless, the pres
ent constitutional common law courts
having the same jurisdiction.
The stand Of Gen. William G. Oates,
one Of the delegates for a modified suf-
fragist clause, is widely discussed. He
said:
81 am for honest elections, which are
the basis Of our government-state and
federal-but which cannot be uniformly
held in Alabama except by a revision
and publication OF the elective franchise
by extrpating therefrom dense ignorance
and corruption.
THE suffrage clause should not. IN
terms, exclude anyone from the elective
franchise on account Of race, nor require
an educational or property qualification,
but intelligence and good character
should be made the test. No felon, no
man of VIGOROUSLY bad character, no man
VINO mas not pdld MS poll lax, no Hlslu
who has ever sold his own or bought
the vote of another, nor any one who
cannot read inteligently or understand
when read to him any section Of the con-
stitution should be allowed TO register as
a vote. And In order that no injustice
be done by registration to any one legally
entitled TO vote an appeal should be given
from such decision to the courts.
1.-THE Acknowledgement of the whole ne
gro race would be unw4se and unjust.
The negroes constitute a large majority
of our state population, over oOOOO'
Among them are many honest, INDUS

When volunteers are wanted to hght our
battles they furnish their quota. some
have acquired property and pay their

TIE-UP is TREMENDOUS.
About 1000 Machinists ON PhiladeI-
Dhfa Line Out

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 19.-Abnut
1000 mackinists will go on strike in this
city tomorrow for the nine-hour day, ac-
cording to John J. Keegan, business agent
in this vicinity for the International AS
ISOLATION of Machinists. There are about
G 600 machinists in the city employed by
about $50 firms. OF these firms forty
seven will go on nine hours tomorrow.
Committees of machinists Will call on
the Baldwin Locomotive works, Cramp
Shipbuilding company, the MidVale Steel
works, Pennsylvania Iron Works conf
pany and the Southwark Iron foundry,
which firms employ about 1900 men,
and which have not yet signifed their
willingness to grant the demands of the
men. If the committees are not success
full In their efforts, Agent -Keegan says
the men at these places who belong to
the union will Immediately be called out.
1t is expected, however, that only
small proportion Of the men employed
at the establishments named belong to
the union and that, therefore, an order
to strike would not materially affect
operations at those places. Three firms
In the city which are working not more
than nine hours a day will not be APP
preached for the present. One firm is
pledged to arbitration and the other two
because of business relations cannot
give an answer to the men until June 81
The German Machnists' union and the
Amalgamated association an English
organization, which are not affiliated
with the International association have
decided to stand by the latter and their
members will go out whenever the In
ternatiOnals men are ordered to strike.

NEW YORK, May 19-Whether tomor-
row is to see the beginning of ma.
chinists' strike which shall rival the one
IN the engineering trades in England,
which played so important a part in
the opening of the markets of the world
TO the Americans, is problematical
Leading labor men and representa- tives
of the leading employers say today that
they thought pending questions would
be settled without any general strike
1t is intimated that J. P. Morgan might
be appealed to and requested to use his
influence with the great Industrial COM
binations in the interest of peace, thus
preventing any trouble in much the same
manner as the great coal strikes have
been prevented in the past.
Meetings of machinists were held at
various places in this city today to dis
cuss the local situation. After getting
reports from all the shops in the met
ropolitan district the general report was
that shops employing about half of tie
grant the nine-hour day and 1215 per
cent. increase of wages and that not
more than 1900 men at the outside would
go out on strike. Among the New York
shops, where strikes are regarded as
possibility, are the Barr Machinery COM
pany, where about $50 machinists are
Employed the Hoe works. with about 200
machinists, and the General Incandes-
cent Arc Light company, with 250 ma

works, with 700 machinists, may eX-
perience a strike, while trouble is also

Demands of Machine Men VIII PrOb-

NEW YORK, May LIT is said that
the dangers of a strike on the part Of
the 800 men employed In the twenty-four
machine shops of Jersey City is remote
for the reason that the majority Of the
men are receiving maximum wages.
The largest single shop in Jersey City
is the locomotive works in the suburb
of Marion, where ESQ are employed, be-
sides helpers and others. Two weeks
ago the demand for the nine hours and
$3.50 minimum rate was made. The men
have not received a formal reply. but
officers OF the company. with whom a
committee conferred on Saturday after
noon did not seem adverse to granting
the demand The answer will be given
tomorrow morning. The men will rep TT
at the works, and If the answer is not
ready Will probably remain at their
tenches until noon at least waiting for
it. If favorable answer is not re-
ceived by that hour, or If an adverse an
1SWer comes earlier, a strike will be de-
clared.

SULTAN OF JOLO.
GEN. BATES SAYS Hrs SUBJECTS
WANT PROTECTION OF
STRONG NATION.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 19.-Gen. J. G.
Bates, who has just returned from the
Philippines, is quoted in the Examiner
as giving the following account of his
dealings with the sultan of Jolo and
the manner in which he obtained the
sultan's good will after the islands had
been coded by Spain.
1.-THE Mohammedans who recognize the
sultan of Jolo," he said, differ from
the other natives of the islands in the
fact that they preferred to have the pro-
lection of strong nation. and frankly
declared that if the United States did
not want to take them they would appeal
to some other great country.
AS commander of the department of
Southern Luzon, it became my duty to
treat with the sultan of Joio l found
his people to be very much like oar ma
tive Indians, and 1t seemed to me that
1t would be better to get them in an
amicable mood than to go in for an
Indian war. Gen. Otis put $1,000 in sill
Yer at my disposal ana after they had
given all the concessions that the gov
eminent wished | made few presents,
but they did not get a cent until they
had come to our terms. There is moth ng
extraordinary about these people They
are willing to fight and Go not lack in
bravery, but they have little knowledge
of firearms and are not as formidable as
the Indians of this country.
After my first consultation with the
sultan, the people of Manila were amaz-
ed to learn what had been accomplished,
and it was declared that the United
States had in six weeks secured from
the natives more than the Spanish were
able to get in three centuries. All we
wanted for beginning was the pacifica-
ton of the country and to have it so
that Americans may travel freely with
out danger of molestation. This we Sc
cured by continuing the methods inaugur-
ated by the Spanish, who had been pay
ing the sultan of Jolo almost as much
money as we do without obtaining any
guaranty of peace in the island.
