FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
Votes to Hold II May 21.-sufrage,
the Courts, Terms of Officials ard other
Matters to be Considered.

Alabama Votes to Hold II May ~21.-sufrage,
the Courts, Terms of Officials ard other
Matters to be Considered.
MONTGOMERY, ALA, April 80
The people of Alabama voted to-day
on the proposition to call a conven
ton to assem- ole in this city May 81
to adopt the State constitution to
the needs of the present day. An ex-
ceedingly light vote was polled
throughout the State, and the re-
turns Indicate that perhaps five
sixths of the counties voted in favor
Of ii convention being held. The
principal reforms which the cOnven.
ton has in view are suffrage, the
courts, the terms of public officers
and the abolition of SO much local
legislation.
No definite programme has been
mapped out. and the convention will
necessarily be in session some days
before the drift of sentiment can be
arrived at. There was much apathy
in the State during the cOmpaign.
The Democratic State committee sent
out speakers but the people were
not greatly enthused. There was
no organized opposition against the
issue. at to-day's election 300 dele
gates from the State at large we're
elected and 100 from the counties,
each county being allowed as many
delegates as it has members in the
House of Representatives. There
will be in no event exceeding four
or five Republicans in the oonven
ton.
Returns up to II o'clock indicate
that the constitutional convention
has carried the Stately $4,000.
In sc veral of the counties where the
negro vote predomlnates the negroes
aligned themselves with the Popu-
lists and defeated the Democratic
nominees. 1t now seems certain
that all the Democratic candidates
from the State at large have been
elected.

A MAJOR MARTIN CASE IN v1RG1N1l

RICHMOND, VA, April 24-Joseph
Fl. Shepard, clerk in the State Au-
ditor's Office, who was arrested yes
terday for embezzling State funds,
was to-day committed for the grand
jury, in default of $4,000 bail. The
specific charge is that Shepherd
fraudulently made out a warrant in
favor of an officer for $50 which was
not due him and certified under his
signature that he had mailed the
warrant himself, but instead of mail
ing to the officer said Shepard drew
the money from the State depository,
which he was enabled to do by ad-
ding the words cor bearer" after
it was signed by the Auditor. This
also involves technical forgery. Two
more warrants charging the same
offence have been issued against him.

The President and Cabinet Glad to Lend the
Articles Sent to the Buffalo.
WASHINGTON, April % By request
of Senator McLaurin, the cabinet
to-day discussed the question of
loaning to the Charleston Exposition
the exhibits to be made by thelgov-
eminent at Buffalo. All the cabinet
officers desire to permit this loan and
it was agreed that the loan should
be made if there is no provision of
law against it. The Charleston Ex-
position will pay the expenses of the
exhibit, and the government will do
nothing but make a loan. The Pres
ident and cabinet were glad to do
this much for Charleston, which
failed in any provision for it's expo
sition during the closing hours of
CONGRESS,

AN INCREASED COTTON ACREAGE IN
TEXAS.

HOUSTON, TEX, April 27.-The
Post will tomorrow issue a report on
the cotton acreage of Texas. 1t
shows that the planting season is
fully three weeks late and much re-
planting is to be done because of the
weather. There will be an in
creased acreage. Much land sown
to grain will be plowed up and put
in cotton in the northern portion OF
the State. The boil weevil is re
ported~in the south and southwes
tern portion of Texas. Only a small
portion of the crop is above ground
and the stand is not good.

General News.
"AIL THE NEWS THAT'S FIT TO PRINT"
The Facts Boiled Down and Presented in
Convenient Form for Busy
Readers.

S4"A " IA
Readers.
A special dispatch from Vienna
says the Gar has signed a decree ex-
polling Count Tolstoi from Russia
and that the decree has been served.
A bill has passed the Illinois Leg
islature prohibiting the sale, giving
away or bringing into the State of
cigarettes, cigarette paper, or any
substitute therefor.
Governor Odell, of New York, has
signed the bill authorizing women
taxpayers in villages and towns to
vote on propositions to expend money
for public purposes.
One hundred and fifteen insurgent
officers and 1857 Bolo men surren-
dered to the Americans at Narbacan,
April %. They also presented rolls
of membership which showed that
the secret organization known as the
Katipunan Society existed in all Bar
rios.
Reports from Is fruit points on the
Central of Georgia Railway, are al
most wholly to the effect that the
recent cold was without serious re-
suit. GAINESVILLE and Marshall
vile and Fort Valley, the most i'm
portant peach centres in the State,
report no a~ppreciable damage done.
From the pear and grape section the
news is r~eassuring, and full crop is
looked for.
Officials who are assisting Lii
Hung Chang in the negotiations last
week conferred with the British,
German, French and Japanese min
listers, who told them that the amount
of the indemnity claims would reach
&65, 00O,C 600 by the end of June. If
matters were not settled by that
time they would increase at the rate
of 91OO, 900 per month on account of
the expense of maintaining the mil
itary forces. 1t is still uncertain
how China is to raise the money.
Governor Allen D. Gambler of
Georgia will probably, in his mes
sage to the State Legislature next
October, recommend the disfran-
ohisement of the ignorant negroes.
He gave out an interview last week
intimating that he will take such
action. II think it would be we'll, -
he said, "for Georgia to follow the
example set by Alabama, Mississippi,
and North Carolina and revise the
constitution. At present it hampers
enterprise and is generally not per-
feet. Some restriction of the bal
lot is necessary. The white primary
will do for awhile, but a temporary
expedient of that character will not
serve for all time. We need some
thing that will meet the requirements
for years. We should follow the ex-
amples of other Southern States"

REGULAR ARMY TO NUMBER 10000,

The President and Secretary Root Decide TO
Increase the Force to That Number.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-It has
been determined to increase the reg
ular army to approximately 5000
men and to leave it at that number
unless conditions in the Philippines
should make more troops necessary.
The President and Secretary Root
reached this conclusion to-day and
the details viii be worked out by the
Secretary and General Miles.
The number of officers appointed
will be as originally contemplated.
The artillery corps will he increased
to its full strength of 10, 900 men.
Some time ago it was announced
that the companies of cavalry would
contain 65 instead of 80 enlisted
men and it is expected the infantry
companies also will be reduced to
bring the total to the figure agreed
upon. 1t has not yet been deter
mined what proportion of the troops
shall be stationed in the Philippines,
although it is known that a large
force will be required there for some
time

UP COTTON.
Great Damage Wrought by Cold in the
South Carolina Lowlands.

South Carolina LOwIands.
CHARLESTON, S. c., April 24-The
cold wave has apparently not afec
ted the cotton crop in Greenwood,
Spartanburg and other counties of
the Piedmont, because what seed
had been planted was not yet up,
but disastrous results are reported
from sections of the low country.
In Hampton county, which is very
near the coast, vegeta bles, fruit,
cor and especially cotton have been
seriously damaged if not destroyed
Many farmers are now ploughing up
their cotton, some replanting with
cotton, and others sowing food crops.
Cotton seed is scarce, nearly all of it
having been sold to the oil mills and
at this late season it is expensive to
plant cotton as grass comes up with
it.

JUSTIFIED.
Minister COnger Defends the Action of Mis-
sionaries.

VICTORIA, B. g., April 26.-In an
interview in tie Kobe Herald, Mini y
ter Conger, who is On his way to
San Francisco, said
"There were really no actions on
the part of the missionaries in
China that we're not entirely justi-
fed, when the circumstances are
known. Missionaries did not loot.
They found 1000 destitute men and
women on their hands. There was
no government, no organized au-
thorlty. There were houses Of men
who had been firing On the foreign
quarter, directing the attack, lead
ers of the Boxers. Their property
had been abandoned as a result of
the state of war, and it was taken
to succOr hundreds of foreigners and
destitute Chinese, whose lives the
original wner had been labOring to
destroy. Winter was coming on
and measures of some kind were i'm
perative, and the appropriation of
Or Jperty for the end III view was IN
questionably justified.
That briefly, was the situation.
I am prepared to Justify the conduct
of the American missionaries before
the siege, during the siege and after
the siege"

AGU1NALDO's MANIFESTO.

The manifesto from Aguinaldo
which has been expected for a week
or two has at last made it's app ar

Stunning that the unhappy fate to
which my adverse fortune has led
me is not a surprise to those who
have been familiar with the progress
OF the war. The lessons taught
with a full meaning and which have
recently come to my knowledge sug-
gest with irresistible force that a COM
plete termination of hostilities and
lasting peace are not only desirable

which they are beginning to enjoy.
"The country has declared unnris-

There has been enough blood, enough
tears, and enough desolation. This
wish cannot be ignored by the men
still in arms if they are animated by
d desire to serve our noble people,
which has thus clearly manifested

now that it is known to me.

people longing for peace, nor the

the sovereignty of the United States
