BOSTON June 13-Among the pleasant
features of the Y. NJ c. A. jubilee conven-
ton now in session here has been the re-
ceipt of a message from the German am
bassador at Washington transmitting

peror says:

hood of Young Mems Christian Associa-
tions of America, assembled for the jubilee
convention, my hearty congratulations.
With pride the brotherhood may look back
on it's past life, which promises further to
flourish and increase. May this expecta-
tion be fulfilled in a rich measure. With
satisfaction l see that the German associa-
tions, active in the same endeavor, take
part fraternally in this solemn gathering.
May the American associations also in the
future train for their great fatherland citi-
Zens who are sound in body and soul and OF
earnest convictions Of life, standing on the
only unmovable foundation of the name of
Christ, whose name is above every name.
"WILHELM l. r.
The convention in reply sent a message
to the emperor expressing thanks and say
ing that the delegates were deeply touched
by the reference to the fraternal relations
existing between the young men of the Ger
man fatherland and America. May our
alliance founded on Christ forever bind the
kindly sentiments which now exist between
the two lands" was the concluding senti-
ment of the convention message.
The great enthusiasm created during yes
terdayS s meeting in connection with the Y.
NJ. c. A. international convention was at a
high pitch for todays sessions, which were
to make up the events of Jubilee day." In
order to emphasize the event four special
meetings had been arranged including the
usual morning devotional and praise service
in Association Hall, very interesting ser
vice in historic Old South Meeting House
in commemoration of the adoption of the
Y. M. c. A. constitution by the Boston as
sociation, a service Of equal interest I'm
Faneuil Hall and finally a meeting for the
railroad branch in Association Hall in the
evening.
Between the first and second meetings an
opportunity was afforded the delegates to
attend a reception by Governor Crane at
the State House at 80 pm. Many of the
delegates were. afforded also an opportu-
nifty, with delightful weather, to see vari-

DISCUSSING PEK1N NEGoTIsF lions.
Views of the Diplomats Expr<.sed ut
the state Department..


The representatives OF the I~lropean
powers interested in China were, at the
State Department today, this beir < diploA
matte day, and the general stata of the
negotiations at Pekin was gone c exIr very
fully with Acting Secretary Hill t.s.e chief
interest centered in the pending enerican
proposition. that the indemnity cErnplica-
tion be referred to The Hague gxibunal.
The other governments have not sxet def
nitely announced their position a. to this
plan. But the prevailing sentimel,5 among
today's callers seemed to be that refer
ence to The Hague would entail sore de-
lay. One of them remarked that i would
mean at least another six months e nege-
tiation. If the Russian governmtt1t con-
ours in the suggestion. as has beef. report
ed unofficially, 1t will materiallstt add TO
the chances that this references ito The
Hague may be made. On the othfr hand,
at least one of the continental powers is
thought to be quite strongly opposed to
removing the negotiations from Pekin.
The United States government has not
protested, and does not intend tes protest
under present conditions, against the main
tenance of large German garrison at
Shanghai, which appears to be attracting
attention in England. The German gov
ernment has been very frank with the
United States in responding to our repre-
sentations In the past, and freely ranged
with the United States in declayation of
purpose, first to maintain the open door,
under all circumstances, and, second, to re-
frain from permanently occupying or re-
tanning any additional territory ia China
Therefore our government is entirely con-
tent to place implicit confidence in the mo-
tiVes or Germany so far as the mainte-
nance Of German force In Shanghai is
concerned.

HI. w. HAPPLE's TRIAL BEGINS.
Steward in COmmissary Department
Under Charges at Manila.

MANILA, June 13-The trial of H. W.
Happle, port steward of the commissary
department. charged with receiving in
monthly instaIlments money from a steve
doring company began today. The defense
is that the money was received as salary
for extra services. The alleged transac-
tions appear on the company's books, and
it is claimed that Happle figures under an
assumed name.
D. NJ. Carman, the former Californian.
who was arrested in February last on the
charge of furnishing supplies to aid the in
surgents, but whose prosecution was aban-
doned last month, is going to the United
States shortly and has asked for the return
of $4,000 paid as security for his appear
ance when summoned for trial. General
Macarthur has declined to order the return
of the money, but probably it will be re-
turned after the inSurrection is over.
General Sumner has returned here and
has reported to General Wade the failure
of the negotiations for the surrender of
Cables. the insurgent leader in Laguna
province. The Filipino apparently believes
he can hold out. now that the rainy season
has begun.
Disappointment Is felt here at the back
ward conditions in southern Luzon. Some
insurgent camps have been discovered and
destroyed. Lieutenant Cowen, with a de-
tachment Of fifty men, killed five insur-
gents near Jovelar.

WAS IN FINANCIAL STRAITS.
Probable Explanation of the Suicide
of Louis Stern.

BERLIN, June 13.-Further reliable news
about the death of Louis Stern, the former
United States commercial agent at Bam-
berg, Bavaria, who committed suicide June
10, by shooting himself, shows he had not
made any returns to the State Department
during the last eighteen months, but If he
owes money to the United States, it is only
a small amount On the other hand,
number of people in the United States, for
whom Stern had collected estates in this
country, have entered complaints that he
had not remitted the amounts collected.
Judgment for 1900 marks against Stern
was recently rendered by the Bamberg
court, and the deceased committed suicide
the very day the 1900 marks was due.
Stern had accepted fine commercial po-
sition at Bamberg, but the firm nullified
the arrangement when it learned of the
judgment.

NO TROUBLE WITH INDIANS.
Reports Sent Out Proved to Have Lit
tie Foundation.

DENVER. Colo, June 13.-Reports of
trouble with the Indians near Fort Washa-
kie, Wyo., are unfounded. Even the re-
pert of the killing Of an Indian by white
sheep-herder Is false. Col. Jesse M. Lee.
commandant at Fort Leavenworth, who
was sent by General Merriam two weeks
ago to Fort Washable to investigate the
alleged troubles with the Indians, has re-
turned and made his report to General Mer-
riam.
General Lee. in his report, asserts that
the Indians have made no complaint that
the agent has not given them sufficient seed
grain to plant and thereby raise their crops
but this is found to be simply complaint
and to carry with 1t no indications what
ever OF hostility. The story of the kill
ing Of an Indian by white sheep-herder
grew out OF shooting between two sheep
herders, both white, in which neither was
hurt.

GOV. TYLER's ADDRESS.
A Strong Appeal for Progress In the
state.

RICHMOND Va, June Ex-Governor
Tyler, by special invitation, addressed the
constitutional convention this afternoon.
He was heard with close attention, and the
address was received with every manifes-
tation of approval. The governor said In
part:
Mr.. President and Gentlemen of the
Convention: The honor you have done me
in inviting me before this convention is
deeply appreciated. l know that you have
assembled here amid the clustering memo
ries of this old capitol at the command of
your patriotic hearts to do for old Virginia
the service of loyal sons.
A century of happy and prosperous ex-
lstence has demonstrated the truth, the
power and the blessings of our constitu-
tional government You can congratulate
yourselves and the state that the work you
are called to do is not in the nature of an
experiment. Our great Anglo-Saxon race
through centuries of racial development
has evolved the fundamental principles of
self-government and has laid deep and wide
and strong the everlasting foundations of
all social and political rights, and on such
a foundation the builders of our republic
erected here structure, symmetrical or
nate ana ntiy Joined together. AS the years
go over our heads some defects are reveal
ed, some weak places are detected some
unequal strains upon the structure are dis
covered. and you are called together the
lberty-loving sires, to overhaul the struc-
ture, not to tear 1t down; to repair. not to
lay waste; to renew and adjust NOT tn
plan anew.
In my last message to the general assem-
bly,, in discussing the question of consti
tutional reform, l presented my views in
the following language:
Constitution Makers
'Virginians can surely lay claim to be-
ing makers of constitutions, and in these
weighty matters are able to give the world
a product of enduring strength and SIM
phcity. The present unsuited constitu-
tion, foisted upon conquered people at
the conclusion of our civil war by an
alien government is expensive and cum
bersome. 1t should be amended and re-
written. We should meet the question
courageously like Virginians should, and
meet IL for all time. There are several
plans open for your consideration One
to submit a call for constitutional con-
vention to the people; another to amend
the present one through separate legisla-
tive enactments; or you might select a
iCint committee from the members of the
TWO houses of the general assembly as
| had the honor to recommend to the last
legislature, or appoint such a committee
from the citizens at large, whose duty 1t
shall be to study and formulate such
