formation in regard to the worlds pro-

somewhat of a surprise to many to
learn that for the past three years the
worlds annual consumption of sugar
has exceeded the worlds annual pro-

made possible by a surplus which has

BY FRANK HARVEY MILLER.

Montgomery, June 8.-(Special.) )-The committee on suffrage and elections is having all sorts of time wrestling with this most difficult problem. Probably no two of the committee are agreed as to what is the best plan. All are agreed that some scheme of registration is nec- essary and 1t Is probale that the payment of a poll tax will be made prerequisite to voting. The poll tax will remain as at present, viz. $1. 50, and it will probably b. required to be paid one year before an election so as to prevent as far as possi- ble candidates buying up votes by paying the poll tax of the voters. A man would hardly care to pay for a vote a year be- fore 1t was to be delivered.
 Beyond these two features the commit tee are at sea. Many of them want the grandfather clause and many think it is unconstitutional and therefore unwise to adopt 1t. Some want the understand ing clause while others think this would violate the pledges of the Democratic platform. Some are in favor of an all ternate property qualification, and these are disagreed among themselves as to the amount, while others are opposed to any property qualification entirely, while some are opposed to it's becoming effective at the present time though willing for 1t to go in force some years later.
 There probably never was a constitu- tional convention that attempted to settle this question under such handicaps. In addition to being bound by the fifteenth amendment the hands of the convention are tied by the Democratic platform, an instrument which, hurriedly gotten up in day. greatly hempers the work of the constitutional convention. None of the other constitutional conventions of the southern states which attempted to deal with this problem were bound down Dy pledges. Altogether the committee has a hard nut to crack.
 One reason why the committee has such divergent views is because each member has been studying the. question for him self and has arrived independently at his own conclusions. The convention for the past two days has excused this committee from attending its sessions, and the com mittee has been holding sessions Of It's own At these meetings every member has been allowed full presentation of his views, and at the meeting today the mat. ter was referred to subcommittee or

GREAT EXPANSION
 IN THE LOAN ITEM Corresponding Increase in New York Bank Deposits Noted CAUSED BY UNION PACIFIC Considerable Decline in Consequence of the Increased Loans-Commis-
 sion Houses Are Heavy
 Borrowers.
CAUSED BY UNION PACIFIC

New York June S-The Financer says:
 One of the surprising features of the New York bank statement of June is the expansion of s21,2S 400 in the loan item The effect of this increase was shown in a corresponding rise in deposits, and as this in turn necessitated a very much larger reserve the excess surplus suffered a decline of about eight million of dollars, the loss of nearly three mill Hon in cash holdings having been an ap- preciable factor in this respect The pres- ent excess stands at SIS, ,341 ,500, as against $21, ,253, ,050 for the proceeding week. The decline Is equivalent, therefore, to 3 per cent, which for one weeks operation is unusually large The increase in the loan item can be attributed in part to Union Pacific convertible bond operations which called for heavy accommodations during the week and the fact that one bank which had a great deal to do with the transaction reported an increase in loans of about eight millions strengthens this theory.
 In addition, however, 1t is known that commission houses have been borrow ing heavily especially on long time, and this also assisted in swelling the volume of outstanding loans. With reference to the loss in cash of $2, ,9S1, 400, 1t is to be re- membered that the statement of the banks for the previous week accounted for only about half the gold taken for export, and the remainder probably shows in the present exhibit. The cash totals are still nearly million dollars | at variance with known operations of the week, but this is to be attributed to the misleading system of averages on which the statement is compiled. It is worthy of note that discrepancy of about 10,0OO- 900 now exists as between the clearing house statements and the most accurate preliminary statistics based upon known operations extending over a period. of three or four weeks and the assumption that the condition of the banks from a cash standpoint is better than shown in the present statement Is not warrant ed. The excess surplus. however, is large enough at this time to minimize the ef- feet of the heavy changes noted, and It is not regarded as likely that money quotations will show material fuctua- tiOns

Dr.. Rixey Stated at II O'clock Last Night That She
 Was Improving

Washington, June S-Dr Rixey left the White House at Il: 80 o'clock tonight after visit that extended over two hours He said:
 Mrs. Mckinley's condition is about the same as reported this morning. She has rested comfortably today There has been no material change though possibly there has been barely percepti- ble improvement. She is now sleeping soundly."
 The feeling at the White House tonight was little more hopeful. Mrs. Mckinley has been resting much better than usual the past few days. and this has been an important factor in fighting the disease There were no unfayorable developments during the day. Dr. Rixey stayed half hour longer than usual tonight and spent considerable time with the President The President for an hour or more dur ing the afternoon was with Jefferson Reynolds of New Mexico. relative of Mrs Mckinley

Attempted Lynching.

Princeton, Ind, July S.-Henry Rey- nolds 30 years of age, who was arrested in Mount Carmel, H.. Friday night charged with assaulting Lyda Case. the 13-year-old daughter of q priominent far mer near here, was lodged in jail here today after narrowly escaping being lynched. Learning of his capture today. fifty infuriated men crossed the river in- tending to lynch him. News of their com ing caused the authorities at Mount Car mel to abruptly stop his preliminary hearing and he was hurriedly sent to Princeton under guard of the sheriff and a posse. Extra precautions have been taken to protect the prisoner from fur ther attempts at lynching. Reynolds has confessed. The girl is in serious con dition.

Both Trains Were Entirely Demolished and Six Men
 Are Now Dead
SEVERAL MORE ARE INJURED

 Impact Occurred.

Binghampton, N. r., June s-WhlIe a freight train on the Lackawanna was taking water at Vestal, ten miles west of here al 9:15 tonight 1t was run into from behind by a double header wildcat freight. Tn the second car from the ca- boose of the stationary train was a large quantity of dynamite. which was exploded. Six men are known to have been killed, three others are thought to be In the wreck. and number of others are known to be badly injured. The dead are:

THE SUFFRAGE QUESTION
 IS DIFFICULT PROBLEM

seven, with instructions to frame an or dinance and submit 1t to the committee on Monday. The committee will then probably take couple of days to discuss it and will report to the convention about Thursday, when some lively debates may be anticipated The first ordinance for the convention to digest will be that on executive department which has been made the special order for Tuesday.
 There are many of the suffrage commit tee who favor an educational qualfica- ton. but in order to carry out the party pledges not to deprive any white man of his vote the grandfather clause has to be worked in conjunction with it.. This pro- vides that those who could vote on Jan uary l. 1867, and their sons and grand sons shall not be deprived of the right to vote. By examining the laws in force in the southern states at that time it will be seen that only white men were all lowed to vote. Thus the grandfather clause construed in connection with these laws is clearly violation of the fifteenth amendment.
 On the other hand if an educational qualification with an alternate property qualification is adopted, or even the pay ment of a $1.50 poll tax as a prerequisite to voting, 1t is quite doubtful if the new constitution would be adopted by the present voters in the State, and thus the work of the convention would go for naught.
 Some of the delegates said prom inent lawyer in the convention. 'are will ing to vote for any plan of suffrage without regard to it's constitutionality These however, are small minority Others are willing to vote for the grand father clause. hoping that 1t is constitu- tional I believe, however if the abstract question of its constitutionality was pro pounded to them in their office without regard to the probability of it's being adopted by this convention. they would give 1t as their opinion that the plan IS unconstitutional."
 .I believe the convention will vote in favor of the grandfather clause" re- marked another delegate, for the reason that many of the delegates have gone around making speeches saying they were in favor of it at time when they had not studied the question very much, and they will now feel bound to vote for it."
 Thus it goes. There are all sorts or opinions You pay your money and take your choice, or rather In this case, you can take your choice without having to part with any of the coin of the realm

Perry, O. T., June S.-The storm which passed over Eastern Oklahoma last night was one of the most severe since the opening of the strip. A feature of the storm was the extent of the territory covered. Sweeping down from the Kan sas State line. and covering about fifty miles in width, the rain. wind and hail swept over the country as far south as old Oklahoma. The rain simply fell in torrents from early in the evening until midnight. The fury of the storm centered in cyclone at about 6:30 p. m, which formed at a point near the Kansas State line and just on the county lines of Kay and Grant, Oklahoma. The twister took & southeasterly course and was most dis astrous on a belt of ten miles square in Eastern Kay county and the little town of Eddy was struck and of the twelve

and Tonkawa, a distance of about eight miles, was laid waste. Farm houses with barns and outbuildings were blown away but the occupants all escaped without injury.
 Fine fields of wheat in the midst of harvest was laid waste. The tail end of the tornado fell with terrible force upon Tonkawa. Thirty dwellings and business houses were scattered like. so much loose lumber The citizens of the town had been watching the advance of the tornado ard had sought shelter in caves and eel lars No fatalities are reported at this point, strange to say, only a few per sons receiving a, scratch. A few miles from this point the tornado seemed to go up in the air, and the country below did not suffer much from the storm except by washouts, stiff wind and hail, which damaged wheat and fruit.
 The financial loss by the storm is about S10e,000.
