Y. M. c. A. CONVENTION.
General Joseph Wheeler Is Che of
 the Delegates.


 Boston, June i1.-A great congrega- tion greeted President Edwin L. Schuy of Dayton O., as he called to order the International Jubilee Convention of the Young Mems Christian Association in Mechanics' Building today.
 The afternoon service was held in Trinity Church, and Rev. Charles Cuthbert Hall. D. D., of New York, preached the sermon.
 wm. E. Dodge of New York, pre- sided at the evening meeting in Me- chanics' Hall. when the State and city welcomes were delivered. The princi- pal address was by General McCook of New York.
 Among the distinguished delegates who reached the city today were Gen. Joseph Wheeler of Alabama, and An dre Siegfried. of the Y. M. C.. A. of Paris; Lord Kinnard of Scotland. ,. and H. De G. Waldegrave. W. H. Mills and J. H. Putterill, prominent in con- nection with the London branch of the Association.
 In the evening the report of the Committee on Nomination of Officers was presented. It recommended for President Wm. E. Dodge of New York. Thornton, Atlanta, Ga. and James E. Hardy, Louisville. A. G. Knebel, Asheville, N. C., was named as As- sistant Secretary.
 This report was adopted and those named became the permanent officers of the Convention. Today a protest was circulated signed by Bishop Nal lalieu and others against the use of the Museum of Fine Arts to- morrow night for a reception to the delegates and their friends. The pro- test is based on the fact that the stat uary in the nude is exposed to the pub- lie gaze in the museum and the claim that a reception there would commit the '. NJ. c. A to an approval of such displays.

 Governor Jelks in Texas.
 The first news of the death of Gov ernor Sanford reached Montgomery through a private telegram by way of the railroad wires, the office of the Western Union Telegraph office being closed It was midnight when the .n- formation came and all effort to reach
 Eufaula was futile, although an at- tempt was made to ascertain If Cover nor Jelks was at his home. Later 1t was learned that Mir. Jelks Is in Beau mont. Texas, on a business trip. Scv- eral telegrams were sent to Beaumont
 last night, but no information from Governor Jelks was to be had.
 Hon, Alfred M. Tunstall of Greens

 sentatives. is in Montgomery and if 1t proves to be correct that Governor Jelks is in Texas. Mir. Tunstafl may assume the duties of the Chief Exeou- tive until the Governor returns to the State.
 Funeral Arrangements. A number of the personal friends of the Sanford family were in consuita- ton until daylight this morning con-
 corning the arrangements for the fu-
 neral. They had received telegrams from Capt. T. D. Sanford that the body of the Governor will be inferred either in Auburn or Opeltka. The | time of the funeral was not indicated I The Sanford family has relatives m | Louisiana and Texas. and 1t Is possible | the funeral will be delayed. The statement was made positively that the body of the Governor will be brought to Montgomery today and that 1t would lie in state in the Cap Itol.

NEWS IN MONTGOMERY.
President Knox of Convention Ex-
 presses Profound Sorrow.


 presses Profound Sorrow.
 While the delegates to the Constitu- tfonal Convention have realized for sev- eral days that Governor Stamford was seriously i'll, his death was not ex- pected, and the announcement at mid night that the distinguished Chief Magistrate Of Alabama had passed from earth was received with the pre- foundest sorrow by those who heard the sad news before they retired.
 The information was borne to Hon. John B. Knox. President of the Con- stitutional Convention. by represent ative of The Advertiser. MT. Knox was awakened at his hotel. He was deeply pained to learn of the death of the Governor and said 1t was a great formation as to the condition of the Governor before retiring and had not expected the end would come during the night. MT. Knox carried the news to Hon. Alfred M. Tunstall of Hale. Speaker of the House of Representa- tives, and Hon. Edward deGraffenreid of Hale, who were sleeping in rooms adjacent to MT. Knox.
 Convention May Adjourn.
 While it is impossible to anticipate the action of the Constitutional sym vention, it is believed that the body will adjourn this morning immediately af- ter the announcement of the death of the Governor is form ally made in the Convention. Several delegates who discussed the matter last night said that it was probable the delegates to the Convention would attend the funeral of the Governor in a body and on a special train.
 It is a coincidence that there was a lengthy debate yesterday in the Con vention upon the question of creating the office of Lieutenant-Go In the most delicate manner possible the delegates referred to the illness of Gov ernor Sanford and in more than one instance pathetic reference was made to contingencies that might arise in the event of his death. This debate. how ever, was not by any means brought about by the illness of the Governor. The Convention was merely discussing a section of the Constitution which is to serve in future years.
 Devotion of His Sons.
 The devotion of the sons of Governor Sanford to their distinguished parent was SO tender and true as to be the subject of comment. When his father became Governor of Alabama, Capt. T. D. Sanford, himself a distinguished lawyer with an exceptionally lucrative practice. came to Montgomery to serve as Private Secretary. The son knew that the father was in feeble health. He desired to be near him, to relieve him as far as possible from the burden and cares of State But Governor Sanford was extremely conscientious. While having unbounded confidence in the ability, discretion and Judgment of the son. who had sacrificed business in terests for the welfare of the parent. the Governor ever insisted that the peo- ple of Alabama had given him trust which must have his personal time and attention.
 Coming to Montgomery to take up the reins of office before he was able to be out of his bed. the Governor, dis regarding the pleadings of his devoted family, continued to visit the Execu-

Continued from Seventh Page.

In the worlds broad field of battle,
In the bivouic of life
BE not liks dumb, driven cattle!
Be hero in the strife!
Trust no future howe're pleasant!
Let the dead past bury its deadi
Act-act in the living present!
Heart within and God DER head;
Lives of great men all remind US.
We can make our lives sublime,
And departing leave behind us
Foot prints on the sands of time;
Foot prints that perhaps another,
Sailing DER life's solemn MAN,
A foriorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and wait"
The Governor was roundiy applauded
upon the conclusion of his address, after
which he met and received the congratu-
lations of many of those who had heard
him.
The following resolution were offered
and adopted:
Resolved, That this society appreciates
more than can be expressed the visit of
Governor A. D. Gambler, who laying aside
the duties and cares of his high office, has
honored us with his presence to-day. 1t
is a tradition that one of the last official
acts of General Oglethorpe, the founder
and first governor of Georgia, was to visit
Bethesda before his final departure from
the colony. Since then this hallowed spot
has been honored by many who have held
the highest Office in the state, who by
their presence lent encouragement to
those in charge of this sacred trust.
therefore be it resolved. That the
thanks of the Union Society of Savannah
be returned to Governor Gambler for his
presence to-day, and he be requested to
furnish a copy of his able and instructive
address for publication in It's records OF
the 15lst anniversary.

Secretary Clay Says Army VIII Only
Be Recruited to About $4,000.

Atlanta. April Ex-senator A. S. Clay be-
lieves the army will not be enlarged to
the fun quota allowed by the new army
bin. He has just returned from Washing
ton, where he held a conference with
President Mckinley regarding the ap-
poiutment of several Georgians IN tho
army. Mr.. Clay does not think that
many Georgians will land. because he
thinks the army will be recruited to only
about 1900 men and this would necessa-
riiy limit the appointments in the DIFF
ferent states.
Senator Clay called to pay his respects
to the President and to urge the APP
pointment of several Georglans now IN the
volunteer service.
