Platt Amendment Must Speak for It.
self, as 1t Is a Law Of Congress.
Washington, June 10.-The secre-
tary of war has sent communication
by cable to General Wood at Havana
expressing the views of the president
concerning the attitude Of the Cuban
constitutional convention on the Platt
amendment. -
While the message of the president,
transmitted through the secretary Of
war, is not direct official communi-
cation to the convention, it is intend
ed to have the effect of direct warn
ing to the delegates against radical
action.
The message reiterates and empha-
sizes the refusal of this government
to accept the action of the convention
in attaching to resolution adopting
the Platt amendment an interpreta-
tion of it's means. The government
holds that the amendment must speak
for itself, as it is a law Of congress,
and neither the American govern
ment nor the constitutional conven-
tion has the right to say that 1t means
more or less than it's terms set forth
in plain English. All the communica-
tions between the government and the
constitutional convention are regard
ed as unofficial and are therefore not
binding.

THE WAY OF PROGRESS.
There II a Chance For Every Town
;; to Move Forward

There II a Chance For Every Town
to Move Forward. ..,A.. r..
In almost every small town there is
anxiety as to how to thrive. There
are idle people for whom employment
Is necessary, there is some local capital
looking for investment and there is
some business talent ready for develop
ment. :.
The plan recently put into operation
In Lavonia, Ca, furnishes an example
for other towns and industries. There
Is hardly a community in the country
that cannot find some outlet for it's en-.
terprise.
Lavonia is a small town in Georgia,
rather retired In location, but with an
eye to business. It is now a cotton fac
tory town, with a cotton factory presi-
dent and board Of directors whose IT,
ties read just as big as il it were situ-
ated In some great center of industry
Several hundred persons will find sup
port, and Lavonia will be the gamer by
that number. :
The mill is one OF 5000 spindle pow
er, an excellent size for a small town,
or even 10000 spindle mill would be
better, since the same administration
expenses would cover the extra 5000
spindles. One mill, then, of 10000
spindles, or two of 5000 each, with the
one superintendent to cover both, would
be the ideal plan. The two mill system
would set to work two enterprises
which could grow and grow. But who
can set the limits of possibility?
Every bale of cotton raised in the
south has to be manufactured some
where England, in New England
why not right here?
VIII Dot some enterprising young
man In each town of 200 inhabitants
study out this possibility? He may be-
come a mill president.

Pittsburg, June 10.-Major w. H.
DAILY, surgeon general on the staff of
Lieutenant General Miles in Porto
Rico, committed suicide at his home
here by shooting himself in the right
temple. No cause is known for Daly's
deed, unless it be that insomnia
drove him to temporary insanity For
some time past he has been unable to
sleep regularly and it is thought that
after a sleepless night he concluded
to end all. The doctor was a widower
and leaves no immediate family. He
was SO years old and for many years
has been prominent in medical circles.
He gained international prominence
during the Cuban war, as it was his re-
port to the commanding general of the
army that started the "embalmed
beef" investigation.

UP TO DATE COMPASS.
RADICAL CHANGE 8 PROPOSED .a>
~.. NAVY DEPARTMENT..

Time Honored .''Boxing'' to Be Abol-
ished and Degree System Substitute
ed-New Card Has the Advantages
of Accuracy and Simplicity.
According to the New York Herald,
Rear Admiral r. B. Bradford, chief Of
the bureau of equipment, has sent to
well known mariners for criticism a
proposed new compass card designed
by Lieutenant Commander S. B. W.
Diehl, superintendent of compasses.
The object ofsthe proposed change is
to omit the present system of points
and fractions thereof and use degrees
only. The present card contains points
and degrees. The conversion Of one in
to the other, Lieutenant Commander
D1ehl says, is natural result Of the
presence Of both, but is not a necessity,
as would speedily be recognized were
the points omitted.
Accuracy requires expression in de-
grees for courses, bearings and COM
pass errors and not in points, the use of
which is but a duplication Of work.
The circumference Of the proposed
eard is divided into the usual $50 de-
grees and marked continuously to the
right from zero degrees at north to 80
degrees at last, 100 degrees at south,
270 degrees at west and 800 degrees at
porth.
The card is subdivided into divisions
Of ten degrees, accentuated by heavy
lines on the graduated rim and by suit
able geometric figures on the card, each
ten degree division on the card being
indicated In figures by it's appropriate

o'clock, it was run into from behind
by double-header wildcat freight In
the second car from the caboose of

of train No. 81: Elmer Polhamus,

Each ten degree division of the card is
further subdivided into half and quar-
ter divisions and appropriately marked.
Every fifth degree line of the gradual
ed circle between the ten degree divi-
sions is marked in figures, indicating
it's appropriate number from zero de-
grees or north.
The cardinal and intercardinal direc-
tions are emphasized on the card in
geometric figures. In illustration of
the simplicity; of the. proposed card
Lieutenant Commander Diehl COM
pares the present card Of $50 degrees,
having 80 points, one Of which repre-
sents 1114 degrees, one-half point 5.625
degrees, one-quarter point 2.8125 de-
grees, with the proposed card, also Of

Lieutenant Commander Diehl says he
believes the proposed marking Of the
compass card would result in greater
accuracy in navigation in it's relation
to the compass. Courses would be laid
IN degrees and more accurately noted,
as, the approximate course Of 8. w. by

Mrs. Mckinley Continues to Gain,

Washington, June 10.--The slight
Improvement in Mrs. Mckinley which
manifested itself the latter part of the
week continues and the hope begins
to be felt that she may after all re-
cover from the present attack. The
improvement, however, is so slight as
not to :change materially the extreme
gravity of the case.
The usual consultation of physicians
was held during the morning and at fts
close the following bulletin was Is
sued:
Mrs. McKinley's physicians report
that she passed very comfortable
night and continues to improve"
The fact that Mrs. Mckinley has
more than held her own and that no
unfavorable turn has occurred is con-
sidered in every way encouraging, but
as this result is due partly to the
constant use OF powerful medicines
ihe physicians fear the effect of re-
ducing the stimulants, and likewise
have to cope with the effect on her
system by the constant admfnistra'
tion Of the only means Of prolonging
her life and making absolute recovery
at least possibility. These stimu'
lants and the complaint from which
she suffered in California, which is
now under better control. however, so
weakenS her mower If resistance that
apprehension is ever present that a
sinking spell may occur suddenly from
which she cannot be rallied.

Port Royal, Pa, June 1.-THE
Pittsburg Coal and Coke company's
shaft No. 2 at this place is again on
fire, after. steady running for seven
years. and over 80 men are in the
mines, many of whom, it is feared, will
never be heard from again.
About 6 o'clock smoke was seen to
be issuing from shaft No. 2, which is
on the line of the Pittsburg and Lake
Erie railroad. It is thought the fire
started from an explosion and that
six men were in the mine at the time
Of the explosion, the men being Jack
Peoples, Tony Stickles, Frank Daven.
port, -. DAILY, Lawrence Settler and
John Stakes. Stakes and Settler were
not near the place In which the explo-
sion occurred and upon the arrival of
a rescue party they were quickly
brought to the, surface, after being
nearly overcome=by after damp. They
could give no information as to what
had caused the fire and told the. res
cue party that four other men were
entombed: :.About z o'clock Superin-
tendent William McCune of West
Newton, general superintendent of
this district; Dennis Wortley, pit boss
of the mine; Michael Roy, foreman
Of the Euclid mines, and several other
bosses, with about 20 men, went down
shaft No. 1, which is just opposite
on the Baltimore and Ohio side of the
river, and
Have Not Been Heard From Since.
About three hours after the rescue
party had been in the mine two more
explosions were heard. Meantime the
crowd around the opening of the shaft
had increased, the crowd including
many mothers, wives and sisters of.
men entombed. All sorts of plans
have been suggested for the rescue
of the men. Some talk of turning the
river into the mines, but many are

ing the miners. All that would be
necessary to let the deluge of water
loose in the mines would be to pull
plug which was placed in the mines
after the explosion of seven years
ago and the water would rush in the
mines at a rapid rate. DAILY, one of
the men known to be in the burning
mine, went in for the first time in the
morning, and it is not known who he
is or where he is from.
At II o'clock four men volunteered
to go down shaft No. 2 and No. 3, and
one man down No. 1, but up to this
time 1t is not known whether. they,
have succeeded in making any rescue.
Gas and smoke are issuing from the
mines and over 200 men, women and
children are waiting for some news of
relatives. Doctors have been called
and assistance is being offered on
every side.
