THE CONVENTION.

This body has been in session now
more than two months, and a. yet no
one feature of the new Constitution
has been aSIeed Oh. Still much Of inn
poriant and necessary work has been
done, and 1--WE the people" are not i'm
patient Tor disposed to grow restless
During the week Oratory has had
the right of way, and at least one
norator has struggled for recognition.
The speech Of Ex-Governor Cameron
was gem of the first water, while
many gave evidence Of the fact that
the day of giants in Virginia is not yet
over Dr. McIlwaine made a short but |
telling speech, in which he emphasized |
the tact that he recognized no Obliga-
ton to convention pledges but would
do his duty TO the people of Virginia
as God gave him guidance and strength.
Mr. Wysor, who entered public life
late IN life, and who seems determined
to make up for lost time by talking
himself If not his auditors to death,
attempted to interrupt him, and was
promptly but firmly sat on. The Doc
tor said he was not accustomed to fool
ishness at home, and would not toler-
ate il there. The gentleman from Pu-
laski will learn when buzz saws are in
motion not to go too near. {
One Summer, from Washington 4
county, began early in the session to :

ne was only funny, his fellow members |
laughed at him, but of late he has been |

pie who happened to be present either !.

Industrial Statistics.

The ninth annual report of the Maryland
Bureau of Industrial Statistics. of which Mr..
Thomas A. Smith IL chief and Mr.. Jacob
Schonfaber is assistant, has been submitted
to the Governor. This Is notable report
and deals with variety Of subjects which
have not heretofore occupied the attention OF
such bureaus as this. The information the
book supplies of the State Of Maryland, its
agriculture, its fisheries, Its mines, seems to
be accurate and is exceedingly interesting
The book also deals with labor conditions,
and gives detailed histories OF various strikes
A feature of the report which will be OF
especial interest to farmers is calculation of
the cost of cultivating an acre In wheat corn
and other crops. The cultivation of an acre
which produces ten bushels of wheat costs,
including grass seed and fertilizer, $40,
while the product of wheat at 70 cents q
bushels is but 81 On the other hand, where
forty bushels are raised on an acre the cost
of production is $14.70 and the wheat will
sell for $2S, leaving a handsome profit. The
tables also show that there IS no profit In
producing fifteen bushels of corn to the acre,
but yield of eighty bushels leaves a profit
of about SIS at 80 cents bushel, besides the
fodder. The value of the cereals produced
in the State in 1900 is estimated at about
ST. 1000, 900, the potatoes at $685. 600 and hay
at more than 100000. The value of the
dairy and poultry products probably exceeds
that of The wheat crop, which is given at
S10,7S3,000.

require that we should act to preserve
their independence, or insure tranquil

as the result of deliberate action by
Congress. The Cuban republic will be

domestic conditions. 1t may need the

The President promptly appointed
Funston Brigadier regardless of the

friends. Funston's admirers rejoice
that he did so at once, as they know
that the army ring can WELD a power

given time enough to get concentrated
upon the President, it might have cue

This fight against Funston, which may
be carried into the United States Sen

of his nomination, is merely revival OF
the old fight of the West Pointers
against the outsiders, which has been
going on for many years. The head

said to be IN Adjutant Gen. Coroin's
office, at the War Department, although
he is not a West Pointer himself. Gen.
Corbin is a man of undoubted ability,
but it is well-known fact that he is
now Major General, more thorough

WASHINGTON LETTER.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, APRIL 1sT, 1901.

Officials expect the capture OF Agui-
naldo, and the surrender Of other Fill
pino officers and men will make it I'M
necessary to keep as large an army IN
the Philippines as was planned for when
Congress passed the Army bill, and if
reports from Gen. Macarthur and the
Philippine Commission, bear out those
expectations, orders are likely to be is
sued limiting the number Of men to be
recruited under that law, which pro-
vides for a regular army of 100000.
What the limit will be. will. Of course,
depend upon future reports.
Fred Funston Is now Brigadier
General in the regular army, thanks to
the action Of the President. 1t is not
creditable to army officers to be trying
to belittle such acts as Gen. Funston 8
capture of Aguinaldy, because of their
opposition to volunteer officer being
made Brigadier General in the regu-
lar army, which was the only military
reward the President could give Funs.
ton. the new Army law specifically stat
ing that no volunteer officer should be
given commission in the regular army
between that of Lieutenant and Briga-
der General.
1t is regarded as certain that the
President will appoint musician Calvin
P. Titus. Go. E.. l4th Infantry, a cadet
at large to the Military Academy at
West Point, for conspicuous bravery in
China. The following petition, signed
by every officer serving the Fourteenth,
has been received at the War Depart
ment: "During his service, Musician
Titus has proven himself to be a trust
worthy, intelligent, sober, brave, and
thorough soldier. On August 14th,
1900, at Pekin, China, he was the first
American to scale the wall OF the Chin.
ese city and enter Pekin. On the fol-
lowing day, while engaged IN the fight
in the Imperial city, he received la eight
wound. His meritorious conduct de-
serves recognition, and it is believed
that if given an appointment to West
Point and Commission upon gradua-
ton, MUSICAL Titus will make an ex-
cellent officer"
Senator Plat. of Conn, author Of the
terms for Withdrawing from Cuba, said
of those terms "Some people, both here
and IN Cuba, assert that we seek to es-
tablish a protectorate. but this is en-
tirely misconception. The accept
ance Of the terms proposed will not es-
tablsh protectorate in any sense that
the word has eyer been used in inter-
national law. The situation is unique,
and the relations between us and Cuba
will be unique and may be properly
expressed by saying that the United
States desires to become the guarantor of
Cuban independence, and the stability
of its government. The right of inter.
vention, which we insist upon. is only
to be exercised to that end, and only
when necessary for that purpose. 1t
will not authorize any interference on
the part of our government in Cuban
