to serve as electors.
Senior Rafael Portundo, although in
a hopeless minority, protested against
senators being elected by an electoral
college instead Of by the people direct.
He contended that the requirement thai
electors should be property holders OF
professional men, was ~undemocratic
| and favored rich Cubans.
Article III, section Z was SO modified
as to make only native born Cubans
eligible to the senate.
A similar clause in Article II, section
II, which was to be considered this at
ternoon brought about a deadlock il
the convention. 1t was in reference tC
the qualifications of the president, AND
the old Gomez fight was revived. Ir

Cubans, while the admirers of Genera
Gomez advocated the retention of tn
clause in the original draft makins
eligible a n~aturalized citizen who ha!
served ten years in the wars. Eacl

A call was made for the president t
assemble the convention. The oppo

fused to take their seats. The feelinI
became very bitter, several opponent

THE wARSHIPS IN LINE
From Cowes to Portsmouth Awaiting
the Funeral Procession

Cowes, January 81, 9 p. ma gilt
tering crescent of light. stretches from
Cowes to Portsmouth. 1t consists of
ten miles of warships, the pick of the
British, French and German navies.
These lie at anchor, ready to take their
part in tomorrow's ceremonies, when
the navy will pay a last magnificent
tribute to the sovereign whose reign
was marked by the greatest naval prog
ress in the history of the nation.
Apart from these peaceful rows and
rows of twinkling port lights, separat-
ed from each other by only a few ca
BILE lengths, n might fancy that the
quiet towns Of Cowes and Ryde might
be undergoing a blockade. The guns
sweep the shores at short range.
At the head of the line are the old
paddle-wheel royal yachts. their SOM
bre hulis standing u in vivid contrast
against the huge white sides of the
hohenzollern. Then in single column,
come the British battleships.
Half way to Portsmouth the single
line mergeS into a stately double row,
the vessels of the foreign nations and
the biggest of the British craft lying
there and waiting to salute ii body OF
England'S- lamented queen.
1t will probably be nearly 4 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon before the Alberta,
with the royal coffin, leaves Cowes.
She will steam inside the single line
and then enter the passage formed by
the leviathans.
The coffin. which was finally solder
ed this morning and enclosed in the
outer casket, and the military spectacle

creates greater expectancy is the an
nouncement that Queen Alexandria and
the princes Of the blood royal will walk

TO TALK THE BILL DOWN

Washington. January 3l.-The demo-
cratic senators and their co-workers in
the senate opposed to h ship subsidy
bill did not hold a formal conference
today as expected, the explanation be-
ing made hat the opposition was still
so determined as to render a formal
meeting unnecessary.
There was q general exchange OF
views of the minority senators, how
ever, and a decision rec rhed to con-
tinue the debate upon the bill 70:
present win the nOec OK nc~plnS ;t go
ing until the republican majority have
to take up the approximation bills and
other measures which should pass be-
fare the 4th Of March. They say that
they have speeches assured for eigh.
or ten days and that there are proba-
bly, other senators who will prepare
speeches within that time. Among
those who will ak are Dan
iel, Caffery, Berry, KENNY. Allen, Mon
ey, Lindsay. Butler and Pettigrew
Senators Clay and Turner also viii
make speeches in addition to those al
count upon speeches from republicans
including Senators Allison, Perkins
Spooner and McCumber.
Democratic leaders are convinced
hat a MALT dozen or more republican
senators would like to see the bill de-
feated even in its amended form, buI
they do not expect their votes against
the bill IL it should come to a vote. 0
the other hand. they count upon TT
loss of some of their own membership
in support of the bill. The democrat,
contend they will only insist upon III
thorough discussion before ~consentinl
to a vote upon ii. They say they ar
willing to AXE the responsibility of tn
defeat, by legitimate means. OF thi

ONLY PRELIMINARY PLANS
No Positive Decision Yet Rs TO Ex-
tension of Union Pacific
shops

mo definite decision has as yet been
reached by the Union Pacific TO build new
machine shops In this city" said 7. NJ.
Orr assistant to the president, yesterday
morning. 1T is true that the erec-
tion of such shops has been under
consideration for some time past, but
no appropriation has been made to
cover the cost necessary in their
building, and absolutely nothing definite
has been determined upon"
In railroad circles 1t is deemed likely
that within the near future the present
needs for additional facilities will compel
the extension of the Union Pacifcs pres
ent shops. When such necessity is recog-
nized officially by the management of the
Union Pacific IL Is a foregone conclusion
that the added facilities will be provided.
In preparation for such an exigency plans
are being prepared in the office of Chief
Engineer Berry for shop buildings such as
may be necessary to meet the requirements.
At this time, however, 1t is asserted by
Union Pacific officials that these plans are
entirely preliminary"

RARE PRIVATE WINE CELLAR.
SuppIantcL by the Individual Bottle
and the Dealer.

Until after the middle OF the nineteenth
century. says the New York Sun, the con-
sumption of wine was twofold larger in
proportion to the population than 1t was
at its close. In the earlier period almost
every prosperous man in the country was
the owner of a well-stocked private wine
cellar This not only indicated social con-
sequence. but was a necessity of the pre-
vailing conditions of the importation and
sale OF wines and liquors. Then they were
rarely sold in bottles. They came in the
wood and were bottled by the purchasers,
who in consequence were provided with a
large stock, stored in cellars at an even
temperature. This system led to very
generous consumption OF the more strongly
fortified wines, such as sherry, MADEIRA,
Burgundy. etc. This custom continued,
particularly in the southern states, until
year or two before the opening of the
civil war. There at that time what was
called a three bottle man was by no means
an extinct species. He was still so numer-
Gus that no one who baked at a second
bottle was looked upon, more or less, as
milk sop.
| These performers through the changed
conditions that prevail at the close of the
nineteenth century are now as rare as the
dodo. Their disappearance and that OF
| the private wine cellar were synchronous
The copious dripking of wine has waned
with the century, Now people content
themselves with a glass or two of dry
champagne at a dinner. For one to give
! evidence OF ver-indulgence at this func'
tion would subject himself to serious criti
| cism. Men are no longer so conviyial in as
sociation as in the past. Not that they
drink so much less but that drinking il

has taken the place OF the private win,

nineteenth century the private wine celia
has been replaced by the storage vault
of the dealer, where wines and liquors II
cases OF bottles are always ready for dc

Quality has not been sacrificed In tn
change Brandy at 500 dozen and tn
