IN CUBAN CONVENTION.
CONSERVATIVES CLAIM THAT THEY
HAVE A MAJORITY

HAVANA, May 20.-The Conservatives
now claim a majority of four in ths
Cuban constitutional convention. When
the convention met today, it was found
that four of the Conservatives were abb
sent, and the disposition to push things,
which had been agreed upon as the pro-
gramme, changed to a movement to
block the Radicals from coming to g.
final vote. The Radicals were also weak
ened by one absentee and q split within
their ranks, which threatens the leader
ship of Juan GusIberto Gomez This lead
er had posed as an uncOmprOmising Radi-
cal, opposing any Intervention by the
United States and publicly declaring that
he would die Of grief II the Platt amend
ment was accepted. Now, however, men
who once looked up TO him as a leader
a--A&Iiate him. claiming that he has ac-
cepted a part of the Platt amendment in
the minority report, and declaring they
will draw up report Of their own. which
will have the proper Radical ring. Those
who take this view are Senores Por-
tuondo, Bravo, Alleman and Eduardo
Tamayo.
Today's session was secret, and prob
ably sessions viii continue secret during
the discussion Of the two reports. Senior
Cisneros moved that Alexandra Roderi-
guez seat in the convention be declar-
ed vacant and that his alternate be ap-
pointed the regular delegate. Finally,
however, it was agreed chat Roderiguez
did not come under the rule prohibiting
delegates from holding Office.
Senior Cisneros took the ground that
the commission who went to Washington
did not inves fgate the feeling in the
United States as they should have done.
but they allowed themselves TO be steep
ed with official views" and did not take
any trouble to learn anything TO the con-
trary. He had received reports adyising
him not to accept the amendment. and
assuring him that the public opinion IN
the United States would sustain re-
lection.
The Conservatives. finding their ma
jority doubtful. asked the privilege OF
tabling both reports for twenty-fouP
hours. An effort will be made tomorrow
to bring out the full strength Of the Con-
servatives, who have virtually agreed to
vote for ths majority report as present-

FIREWORKS GALORE.
At the conclusion of the exercises in
the temple of music there was a grand
display of day fireworks on the esplanade
and about the court of fountains. There
was a first salute of 125 aerial guns fired
from steel mortars. At the same time
twenty-seven twelve-foot balloons, each
lettered with the name Of one of the
Pan-American countries, and carrying be-
low the flag of its country were released.
Forty-five aerial rockets were fired, one
for each state in the Union. There was
also magnificent display of Japanese
daylight works, Orier al kite displays,
daylight bomb cloudshells, setting free
American and Pan-American flags with
souvenirs of dedication day and finally
a grand salute of 500 large gun cotton
rockets.
The Midway was the place where the
set programme ended and the beauties
of the esplanade, court and music were
no match for its popular attractions. The
barkers proclaimed it's wonder in strident
tones and few who entered failed to pay
tribute. An unusual number of conces-
sions are included in the Midway and
many of them give extensive and attrac-
tive performances.
The feature tonight was the electrical
show Many of those who came dined at
the grounds and joined in the night
crowd. The electric tower was daz-
zling display of light and play of the
searchlight on It from below produced

include several thousand persons who
came in through the Lincoln parkway
entrance with the parade.

Yes, especially to America. The

They show it in their policy, which I call
a sensible policy. The Siberian railway

FOND OF THE AMERICANS
CHINESE WANT YANKEE TROOPS
TO STAY IN PEKIN.

WASHINGTON, May 2O.-The war de-
paItment has received from China a pc
titicn presented to Gen. Chafree by a
mass melting Of several Thousand China
men, who assembled in front of the Office
of the provost marshal at Pekin March
q last, and signed by 5000 Chinese resi-
dents of that city, praying the retention
OF the American troops. The petition
told of the good work performed by the
American soldiers and of the thousands
of homeless people who had been fed by
the American Charity house.
Capt. John f. G. TilIoson. Fourteenth
infantry, the provost marshal, in replying
to the petition, said:
1T is needless to tell you that the
United States does not maintain an army
for furnishing the city of Pek.n W tn good
municipal government and as a business
proposition your appeal for the United
States forces to remain longer In Pekin
has little to stand upon.
THAT you will need our pro ection there
is little doubt, and as the broader princi-
pies of humanity most frequently sway
the people of my country your petition IS
not hopeless and shall be glad to refer
1t to our government.
Whatever the result Of your petition,
whether we stay or go, 1t may be graft
flying to you to know that the soldiers OF
the United States, who by force of cir
cumstances came to China as your enc
mics, are now your friends, and We hope
that this friendship may endure"

held in April.
Easter is the time when the plants
and grass come up and summer winds
begin to blow. Easter is kept in re-
membrance of Christ's resurrection on
the Sunday following Good Friday,
the day of Christ's cruciixion.
About the eleventh century the festi-
walls in Europe were held in from one
to eight days and it was then consid-
cred the right time for baptism.
The market places were closed and
aims were given to the poor. On
Easter day the people greeted each
other by saying ''The Lord is Risen, "
and 'The Lord is Risen Indeed"
The Jews used eggs in the feast of
the Passover which comes about the
same time as Easter. It is said that
the best Mathematician of that age
were employed in determining the day
of the festivals. Among the Greeks the
day was used for the cleansing of lep-
ers.
At the present time Greek priests tell
the peoples fortunes by examining the
sacred water held in a marble basin
within the oracle which is seen by the
priests best friends.

An Essay on Easter.

Never was the measure of sorrow so
full as on the succeeding Sabbath day
Easter eve) of the II of Nissan, cor
responding with April 7'h of our reck-
oning, which was spent by the diciples
and other frie nds of Jesus in over
whelming grief; grief not only
prompted by the loss of beloved
friend and teacher, but b. the greater
oppression which sprung from the
knowledge that He who had been cruel
fed had died for all, that in His death
and sacrifice the world might be re-
deemed to life everlasting. In their
profound sorrow they were partially
sustained by the hope that He would
rise on the third day, as foretold; but
with all their faith THY did not in
plicitly believe in The fulfllment of a
bodily resurrection. The chief priests
and Pharisees, impressed by the Won
derful events and portents that had
accompanied His death, seemed now
to have more confidence in the fulfill.
ment of the prophecy of a resurrection
than the disciples, and in their alarm
they sought permission of PLATE to
set a watch of soldiers about the
sepulcher and even place seal upon
the stone that covered the tomb, think
ing that if not so guarded the body
might be stolen away, and the dis
ciples then claimed that Jesus would
rise from the dead.
In the middle watch of the Sabbath
night, suddenly there appe AIRED to the
soldiers on guard at the tomb dazz:
ling light, out of which came an angel
that broke the seal of the sepulcher,
and then rolling away the stone, sat
upon it. So great was the soldiers
alarm at this wonderful apparition
that they fell faint, but soon recover
ing themselves they ran away from
their post of duty to Jerusalem and
reported what had befallen them.
The morning the third day, after
i the Jewish Sabbath-the Saturday. If
our reckoning-had scarcely dawned,
when the two Marys and certain other
women, among whom was ore named
: Joanna, started tow ard the tomb TAX
ing spices and linens with which to
embalm the body, contriying in their
minds as they walked thither, row they
should remove the stone. It was be-
4 fore sunrise when they reached the
sepulcher, the light of the day having
just begun to break in the eastern
portals, and to throw athwart the
light heavens pencils of golden beams.
AS they came near, their surprise was
very great to discover that the large
stone had been rolled aside, by which
they believed that some one had come
and taken away the precious body Of
their Lord. But to make sure, they

Easter.

When we think of Easter, generally
the next thought which occurs to US in
connection with the celebration of that
day is the thought of the egg feast,
which we are all so we'll acquainted
with. But do the housewives thoughts
go no farther than the dainty cakes,
and salads and La this and La that,
which she is preparing for the Easter
day festival? Or does the happy con-
sumner of this bounteous repast, stop
to think of more than just the excellent
cooking, of Mrs So and So? Or is
the knowledge of the sacredness of the
day with US, and are we conscious
that this is the Lords cav, and of
what occurred upon this day, so many
years ago? Do we think of the Christ
who was crucified that our sins might
be forgiven? OF he who was laid in
the tomb and who came forth and as
cended into heaven as he had fore
told? Do we not all upon the Easter
day know and ealize that it is the lay
that the Saviour arose, and that it is
day held sacred by all the churches
and christian nations? That it is one
of the hottest of the Lord s days?
There is room for great deal OF
thought and study, IN regard to how
some of our holidays came about.
We, one and all, know why thetwenty.
second of February came to be cele.
brated. If we know this, then how
much more important is it that we know
