WISCONSIN PRIMARY ELECTION BILL
INTRODUCED.
Measure Said to he the Most ImpOR-
tant Of the Session and Repre-
aemts Governor Ideas.
BY Wire From Madison, Wis, Jan. -.


The primary election bill, which unques-
tionably is the most important measure Of
the entire session, and one which excites
great interest, was introduced in both
houses of the legislature yesterday after
noon
This bill embodies the issue upon which
MIR. LaFollette made his sensational fight
for the governorship.
LaFollette's home representatives, Sena-
tor Miller and Assemblyman Stevens. pre-
sented the measure In their respective
houses, and in each case it was referred
to the committee on privileges and elections
Thebill 10 understood to represent Gov
LaFollette's ideas. and to be a composite
production. typifying the best thought Of
the governor and others having the conf
dence of the executive.
The measure Is radical 1t abolishes eau
cuses and conventions entirely; provides
that the primaries shall be conducted exact
ly as elections are; that persons can be
voted for at the primaries whose names are
on nomination papers signed by per cent
of the electors of the party in the state.
district, county or oity, as the case may be,
but the right to write in any names the
elector chooses Is not forbidden; that at
the Same time. precinct party committees
are chosen at the primary; that the inspec-
tors duly certify up to the secretary OF state,
county or city clerk the results of primaries;
that party chairmen meet and count the
precinct returns and announce the nominal
tions; that, in the case of state officers and
congressman and legislators the county
chairmen shall meet in Madison one week
after each primary election and determine
who Is nominated. and that finally the NOM
inees shall be voted for at the general cleo
tion as now provided for by law. Platforms
are to be made by the nominees in a unique
manner. The privilege Of Independent ac-
ton at the polls is not abridged.
Some highly important bills will be intro
duced in the legislature this week and the
serenity that has characterized proceedings
thus far will doubtless be ruf1ed strong
effort will be made to pass a bill repeating
or greatly modifying the Orion law, by
which insurance companies are made to pay
q heavy tax. However, 30 far from letting
down In the taxes of corporations the tax
commissioners will present bills providing
for an increase OF 100000 in the taxes Of
railroads.
A report is not. expected before Wednes-
day from the assemblymen committee on
privileges and elections on the Wander Cook
contest, arguments In which were finished
last week. Thus far the committee has
agreed on all the points discussed. but the
main points have not been reached and
there is no expectation of q unanimous re-
port.

Montgomery, Ala, May 29.-Booker
L. Washington, III behalf Of his race,
has presented to the constitutional
convention an appeal for conservative
action. The address reminds the con-
.vention that the negroes came here
against their will but have been bene-
fitted, trained and Christianized. They
have ceased for 20 years to be an
offensive element in politics. Leading
members of the race have persistently
urged the negro to learn to trust the
white man. For these men: this is a
crucial time. The negro pays some
direct taxes. He pays much more in
directly through his labor. He is the
main producer OF wealth and gen.
orally contented and law-abiding.
Already the emigration agent and
exodus associations are at work on the
negro's fears that his citizenship and
schools will both be taken away. The
relations are now reasonably salts
factory between the races. Anything
that will unsettle the negro now, when
he is settling down to thrift and COM
mon sense would injure both races
The address pleads that all incentive
for right and useful living be not with
drawn from the young negro: It con-

straightforward ENCOURAGED,
Cedar Rapids, a., May 29.-Presi-
dent McKinley's special train sped
across the state of Iowa during the
day. Few stops were made, but the
train was slowed up at the principal
towns and cities and the president ap-
peared on the rear platform.
This is Secretary Wilson's home
state and he shared honors with the
president. At Tama, where Mr.. Will
son formerly resided, there was a big
crowd to greet them both, but no stop
was made. At Marshalltown the local
G. A. R. post was lined up at the sta
ton.
Mrs. McKinley's condition has con-
tinued to show steady but not rapid
improvement since she left San Fran
cisco. She is gaining some strength
and the president is much encouraged.
She has not yet left her couch, how
ever. DR.. Rixey does not desire to
have her tax her strength but he per-
mits her to sit up in bed the most
of the day. The president is at her
side much of the time.

CONFEDERATE VETERANS MEET
Eleventh Annual Reunion in Session
at Memphis, Tenn.


Memphis, May 29.-Nearly $500
members of the United Confederate
Veterans, representing 1881 camps of
the organization, met in Confederate
hall for their 18th annual reunion.
Generals Fitzhugh Lee, Joseph Wheel
er and John B. Gordon were present.
Before the meeting of the convention
in Confederate hall the Confederate
Ladies Memorial association held in
Calvary church memorial meeting
for Jefferson Davis, at which a memo
rial address was delivered by Bishop
Thomas E. Gailor of the Episcopal
church. The exercises of the day
were almost entirely confined to the
welcoming addresses delivered by the
repres cntatives of the people of Mem
phis and of the state of Tennessee and
by members of different organizations
affiliated with the United Confederate
veterans. The only actual business
performed was the completion of the
permanent organization and the ap-
pointment Of the committees on res
Olutions and credentials.

The One Hundred and Thirteenth Gen.
eral Assembly at an End.
Philadelphia, May 29.-The 18th
Presbyterian general assembly was
dissolved by Moderator Minton after
having been in session for nearly two
weeks, during which time many mat
ters of. the utmost Importance to the
church were considered. Chief among
these was the question regarding the
revision of the confession of faith.
After a discussion continuing nearly
four days this momentous subject was
referred to special committee of Fl
members, who will make recommends
lions as to the manner in which the
creed should be revised and present
them to the next general assembly,
which meets in: New York.
The closing hours of the assembly
were devoted to routine matters. The
report Of the committee on temper
ance urged ministers to call the at
tent1on OF congressman in their dis
trlcts to the necessity for the CON-
pletion of legislation now pending re-
garding the drink traffic in the islands
OF the Pacific. The report also urges
the government to take effective ac-
ton towards the suppression Of the
liquor traffic in all of our new possSss-
sions. The committee on the Peoria
plan of selecting standing committees
approved the system.
In accordance with the resolution
offered by John H. Converse Of this
city, special committee: of evangel-
istic work was appointed.
In dissolving the. assembly Mod
orator Minton made an eloquent ad-
dress and before the final benediction
was pronounced the commissioners
sang the beautiful hymn "Blest Be
the Tie That Binds"

the assembly is in effect to, exclude

terpreted by some of the delegates to.
mean the expulsion of members of the
church who now: belong to. the secret
societies. M. G. McKittrick of Los
Angeles, CAL, said he would rather
cut off his right hand than to vote for
the expulsion of members of secret
societies already in the church. = /,

ers, that If. we pass this report with

Some of the members of the as
sen1bly who are most violently op-
posed to secret orders, objected to the
section of the report of the committee
which removes the ban of the church
from organizations which ''do not in
-culcate a Christless religion" -
Rev. R. Campbell moved to strike
out the section Of the report which
said the report does not include such
orders, holding that labor unions
should not be approved by the church

Cincinnati, May 29.-Colonel James

Confederate navy during the Civil
war, died in poverty at Milford, aged
81 years. He was graduate of Ed

England, but resident of Texas and
a friend of General Samuel Houston.
He served under Taylor in the Mex
lean war. Before the war he was one
OF the owners of the famous Tredegar
iron works of Richmond, Va. The
Civil war swept away his fortune and
since then he has battled unsuccess-
fully in the effort to build up new
fortune. He invented a high pressure
engine but: could not bring it to a
financial success. In a trunk in this
city he had 100000 of Confederate
bonds and money. Three weeks ago
his wife, who bravely shared his i'll
fortune with him, died, aged so, and
Mrs. Spencer of Milford gave her

Havana, May 29.-The Plat amend
ment was accepted by the Cuban con-
stitutional convention during the day
by a vote of Is to IA. The actual
vote was on accepting the majority
report of the committee on relations
which embodied the amendment with
explanations of certain clauses.
The radicals made a hard fight at
the last moment ard Senores Por-
tuondo, Gomez and Tamayo bitterly
arraigned the Conservatives. Senior
Tamayo was particularly vindictive
and declared that everybody who
voted in favor Of the Plat amend
ment was a traitor to his country.
The convention compelled him to re-
casions personal encounters seemed
imminent.
Senior Gomez spoke for more than
an hour and his speech undoubtedly
won over Senores Castro, Robau and
Manduely. He appealed to the pa
triotism of delegates and rehearsed
the long fight for independence, de-
nouncing as perjurers all who favored
the Plat amendment on the ground
that they had sworn to draw up a
constitution for an independent re-
public.
Several Conservatives rose and
asked Senior Gomez to retract, but he
absolutely refused.
The convention will continue it's
sessions, which will be devoted to
drawing up the election law.

EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS.
President May Call One to Pass Phil.
ippine LeqisIation.

ippine Legislation.
Washington, May 29.-The decision
of the supreme court in the DeLima
case, if followed in the Philippine
case, as it is assumed it will be, might
result in the calling of an extra SEES
sion of congress. In the DeLima case
the court decided that the duties col
lectedy on Porto Rican goods befoIe
congress enacted the Foraker laws
were illegal and must be refunded. It
is presumed that the court, following
the same lines of reasoning, will de-
eide that the duties collected on goods
from the Philippines were also illegal
and were, and are, subject to free
entry into the United States until
congress acts as it has already done
in the case. of Porto Rico. Such de-
cision would mean not only the refund
ing Of duties heretofore collected but
would open the ports of the United
States to merchandise and goods. of
every description from the Philippines
until congress meets in December. 1t
is palpable that importers might take
advantage OF this to ship goods into
the United States through the Philip
pines and thus defraud the govern
ment of it's revenues. Whether the
danger from this source is great
enough to warrant the calling of con-
gress in extra session is one which
will be decided only after full delibera-
ton. 1t is possible, however, that this
danger may have been already OBJ
waited in the enactment of the Spoon
er resolution delegating temporarily
to the president the power to govern
the Philippines. This may be con-
sidered an act of congress within the
of the Downes decision af-
firming the constitutionality of the
Foraker law. It is delicate question
and one which the president and his
advisers will consider in all it's bear
ings before coming to a conclusion.

San Legislature TO ACT.
Washington, MAY 29.--Administra-
ton officials displayed a keen interest
IN the reports from San Juan showing
the manner in which the decisions of
the supreme court in the insular cases
were received in Porto Rico. They
are not surprised at the disappoint-
ment expressed as they realize that
the islanders would prefer free trade
with this country instead of continu-
alton of the imposition of the Is per
cent of the Dingley rates. The opera
lions of the Hollander bill providing
scheme Of internal taxation will be
carefully watched here, and the hope
is expressed that it will prove ade-
quate for the purposes for which it
was intended. It is said President
Mckinley will obey the provisions of
the Foraker law and proclaim free
trade when the Porto Rican legisla-
ture declares an adequate system of
1nsular taxation is operative. The
Foraker act is mandatory on this SUBJ
Ject. AS the Hollander bill has not
yet become effective the officials here
suggest it is rather early to discuss
the question of the amount of revenue
that will be raised under it's proyis-
ions. The future alone can determine

this form of construction among the
large ships of the navy. By this new
system the entire structure, including

guns about in their track.
