that the amendment is the work of the

The convention will meet tomorrow

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May S.-The
almost superhuman work of the different

Two hundred additional tents were
erected, and while they were very crowd
ed last night and while several churches
and schoolhouses in the suburbs also
were crowded with sleepers this condi-

arrival of 1000 tents from the general
government at Washington, which Chair
man Bours of the housing committee
will have erected at once The military
companies have been Of great assistance
to Mr. Bours with their experience in
rapidly erecting tents, and before tonight
there will be several tented villages in
the city with cots and blankets and "A wa
ter supply in almost every village for
the sufferers. Today there also will be
provided several extra commissary sta
tions in various parts of the city to re-
lieve the situation at the two already es-
tablished, and no doubt there will be one
in each village of tents. There has been
no outbreak of sickness in the city, and
the several cases of nervous prostration
which have been reported are now well
on the way TO recovery.
Thousands Of people have left the city
Those remaining will be able to receive

A DAN IN ARIZONA.
President Has Many Pleasant ENpe-
riences and Awakea In California.

PHENIX. A. T., May S.-The presi-
Dental party spent an interesting day in
Arizona. The beautiful turquoise sky,
bright sunshine and invigorating air af-
forded the party much relief after the
hot and dusty ride of the previous day.
The two hours in the morning at the
Congress gold mine mp in the clouds Of
the Blue Tank mountains were replete
with incidents and were thoroughly en-
joycd. A large American flag was drap
cd across the tunnel through which the
president passed. and after he emerged
he told the little group OF miners who
congregated about the train that he had
seen Old Glory floating from tower and
statchouse and warship in many differ
ent places, but that never before during
his life had he seen the American flag
1000 feet underground. Leaving the
rich mining section in the mountains
1000 feet above sea level, the train drop
ped down into the green Salt River val
ley, with its waving alfalfa meadows and
big herds of cattle. This valley Is called
the Garden Spot of Arizona and was re-
claimed by irrigation. Monday, passing
through New Mexico, and yesterday, in
Arizona, the COW punchers at the stop
ping places along the route inquired vo-
ciferously where TEDDY" was. Many
of the vice presidents rough riders dur
ing the Spanish war were recruited in
this section, and there was much disap-
pointment that he was not in the party.
AT Wickenburg, the scene Of the recent
gold mine strike, the train was halted
long enough TO permit the president to re-
ceive a visit from the school children.
The children presented Mrs. Mckinley
with n cabinet of specimens. The presi-
dent thanked the children in Mrs. Nc
Kinley's behalf and addressed them
briefly.
An accident to the locomotive tender
delayed the arrival at PheniX two hours
and somewhat diSarranged the pro-
gramme there. Nevertheless the party
received rousing welcome. Governor
Murphy and the territorial officers had
met the party at the Congress mine and
accompanied them back to Phenix. At
the station the territorial militia, COM
pany of cowboys on bronchos and some
of the friendly Pima and Maricopa In
dians joined In a wildly enthusiastic re-
ception The party was driven to the
Adams hotel for luncheon and after
ward was escorted to the territorial capt.
tol, where the formal exercises took
place.
At o'clock in the afternoon the presi-
dental party resumed its journey. The
departure was so timed that the Colora-
do desert and old basin of the gulf Of
California, below sea level and barren
of all vegetation, would be traversed dur
ing the night The Colorado river which
is the boundary of Arizona, was crossed
at Yuma, and the party awoke this
morning in California. Redlands, the
first stop, was reached at o a. IN.
