DELEGATE SUMMERS ROASTED
For Incendiary Speech I'm Virginia
Convention.

Richmond, Va, Aug. 31.-The con-
stitutional convention was called to or
der at noon to-day. The attendance
was considerably smaller than at any
time since the body convened.
President Goode laid before the body
a number of memorials in favor of
the Quarles and Barbour resolutions
restricting the liquor traffic and
against sectarian appropriations. The
memorials were referred.
Mr. Campbell, Democrat, of Wash
ington, made an able speech for the
majority report of the committee on
preamble and bill of rights and severe
ly criticised Col. Summers for what he
called his incendiary effort of yester-
day.
Delegate Gordon of Richmond fol-
lowed. He was opposed to the long
preamble, saying that the sovereignty
of the people was concentrated in the
convention, and he believed that the
wisdom OF the convention was such
that it would provide an instrument
that would be a credit to the people.
Mr.. Hancock of Chesterfield favored
the minority report on the preamble.
The pledge made by the Norfolk con-
vention should be respected. The con-
stitution should be submitted to the
fun electorate.
Mr.. McIlwaine of Prince Edward said
he snapped his fingers at the fiat of
the Norfolk convention. The members
were as competent to vote the day
they convened as at any time.

HIS FAMILY DESIRES 1T.
Sons and Daughters Urge Salisbury
to Retire.

London, Aug. 31.-A representative of
the Associated Press learns that the
rumors of Lord Salisbury's retirement
are due to the existence of agitation
within the premier's own family that
ne take the step in order to preserve
his health.
Ills sons and daughters believe the
strain of conducting the affairs of the
empire is bound to shorten his life. In
ms they have been opposed by sew
eral less closely related members of
me Cecil family and almost all the
leaders of the Unionist party. The
Iatter, so far as can be ascertained,
are likely to prevail for the present.
dI any rate, in their contention that
Ieilet from the duties of premier
would be very doubtful benefit to
LORD Salisburys health, which, just
now is not bad, considering his age.
The Unionists admit that the selec-
uon of successor to Lord Salisbury
would perhaps precipitate an internal
SFuggle. Hence the extreme, and as
some of the members of Lord Sails
Dury's family consider, almost inhuman
pressure on the premier to retain pow

LIBERALS POORLY ARMED.
Quiet Prevails on the Isthmus of
Panama.

Colon, Colombia, Aug. 81, via CAL
weston. Quiet prevails on the 18TH
mus. The recent Liberal concentra-
ton in this vicinity seems to have
disappeared. Whatever their number
the Liberals are poorly armed and
without leaders, lack organization for
concerted action, and hence can avail
themselves of no opportunities to dam
age the government.
Endless rumors are afloat, but the
concensus of the best informed con-
sentative opinion, discredits serious
hostilities or anything more than a
continuation of the Liberals guerrilla
system of engagements with the gov
ernment's forces. The Liberals are
anxious to get a seaport, and hence
their recent approach to Bocas del To-
70 west of here. The government is
not bringing reinforcements to the
isthmus. There are about 400 men at
Colon and at Panama.; 1000 men are
available if needed.
The general situation in Colombia is
Invisible under three heads-the 18TH
mus revolution, the progress made
throughout the rest of the country and
the situation on the Venezuelan and
Ecuadorean frontiers. The revolution
is progressing in the rest of the coun-
try with varying success. The Liberals
hold various towns and districts, and
decline to meet the government punt
tive expeditions, Withdrawing upon
their approach and returning after
their departure to engage in other and
similar tactics with occasional small
engagements.
Various indications lead to the belief
that there will be no actual warfare
between Colombia and Venezuela. The
political revolutionists of both coun-
tries in past years have time and time
again jumped across the frontier when
pressed, from one side or the other
and have continually used, as the ne
cessity arose, one or the other country
as a place of refuge in preparing ex-
petitions against the established au-
thority of the other country.
1t should be borne in mind that the
frontier offers indefinite protection to
Colombians and Venezuelans of both
parties. 1t has been the favorite field
of operations for the revolutionists of
both countries, and those conditions
have existed on the frontier whenever
either Colombia or Veenzuela has had
a revolution on hand. Hence number
less stories emanate from the frontier.
1t is said here that Colombia has
10, 900 men on the Ecuadorean frontier.

FOURTEEN KNOTS AN HOUR.
Shamrock Makes speedy Run Over n
Measured Course.

New York, Aug. 31.-The sixth trial
spin of the Shamrock II to-day, thanks
to a stiff breeze from the southeast,
developed into a speed trial over a
measured course, the results of which
are considered favorable by Sir Thomas
Upton and his friends.
Sir Thomas said yesterday that
when Mr.. Jameson arrived he would
be in absolute charge of the yacht. He
was on board the Shamrock to- day
and in charge every minute of her
trial, judging from the mastery way
in which she was handled. Instead
of going outside to sea he had the
yacht sent twice up and down the
main ship channel, from the southwest
spirit to Staten Island and back, al
most every mile of which is marked
by government buoys, with the result
that by simple calculations it was
found the yacht had travelled over
certain portions of the course at the
rate of IA knots an hour.
Sir Thomas Upton, gauging her
speed by that of the Erin, claims half
a knot more. Perhaps he was right; at
any rate the yacht could have carried
more sail then she did, and so may
be able later on to make good his as
seTtiOn.

RACE WAR WAS AvERTED.

But for n Time Things Looked
squalIy at Hot Springs.
Richmond, Va, Aug. 31.-A special
from Hot Springs, Va, says:
William A. Dudley. an overseer, was
assaulted and perhaps fatally wounded
by a negro named Allen Franklin to-
day. The assailant fed after his crime
and when a party started after him
over the mountains, the negroes in
town armed themselves and started
after the fugitive's pursuers.
So threatening was the conduct of
the negroes that it was necessary to
organize a sheriff's posse to follow in
the wake of the riotous negroes. st
one time it looked as is a serious race
conflict were imminent, but later in
the day the negro band was halted, ar
rested and disarmed.
The fugitive is still at large and no
more trouble is apprehended. Precau-
tions are being taken against lynching
in the event of the fugitive's arrest.

DOWNS BODY RECOVERED.
So Badly Charred Identification
Barely Possible.

ST. Paul. Aug. 31.-Advices received
at the Great Northern headquarters in
this city place the total number of dead
as a result of the wreck at Essex,
Mont, at thirty-six. The number of
injured was thirteen, and at least three
are fatally hurt. The remains of the
dead recoveredy together with the in
jured were taken to Kalispell. The
latter are in the hospitals at that place
receiving medical attendance.
The body of Supt. Downs was recov-
cred late to-day. 1t was so badly
charred that naturalization was only
possible through articles found near the
body. The body of his son is as yet
undiscovered, and it is feared it was
completely incinerated. No list of the
dead other than that already given has
been received. The others killed were
Scandinavian laborers, and 1t is i'm
possible to identify them, owing to the
condition in which their bodies were
found.

In the little town Of Arundel there is a
tax1dermist who is gifted with won
derful presence of mind. Here is an
instance:
Some time ago gentleman called at
his shop with cock pheasant, which
he desired to have skinned, stating at
the same time that he did not require
the body. This quite suited the taxi
dermist, who thought the pheasant
would do for his dinner on the morrow.
However, later in the day the gentle
man called again and said that he
would take the body away. The tax
idermist replied that it was unusual
Tor customers to take the bodies away,
but that he had no objection, and he
fetched the bird, which his wife had
put on plate and covered with flour.
"Ah" exclaimed the gentleman. 1T
looks very nice. But what is this white
powder with which it is covered?"
"Oh, that" replied the taXidermist
quietly, sis arsenic. l always cover

UNlNHABITED ISLANDS.
There Are Thousands of Them In the
Indian Ocean


Indian Ocean,
If you should want an island-that Ia.
an uninhabited island-for the purpose
OF occupying 1t alone, Robinson Crusoe
like, or to use it for romantic fiction or
Tor any other purpose, to the exclusion
OF all others in the world, you need have
no trouble in finding one if you see fit
to make journey to the Indian ocean.
In the waters between Madagascar and
India you can find more than $4,000 Of
them, where there is not human be-
Ing and where you can, If you will, be
monarch of all you survey.
An English traveller has recently been
among the small islands that dot the
western end of the Indian ocean to
make an inventory Of them and re-
ports that he counted 16, 100 and found
only about 600 of them inhabited.
NOW, there is a good chance for any
one who may want an island.
These particular islands are not large.
as Islands go, but very many of them
are sufficient for the purpose of Rob-
Inson Crusoe or any other novel hero
or for even a small colony of ship
wrecked mariners or other persons who
might be cast on one of them or seek
Tor the purpose of making a home pref
ty much out of the busy world.
Some of them are only an acre or
two, well elevated above the tide, while
others are quarter of mile in diam
eter and running from that up to a mile
or two in length and a quarter or less
OF the length in breadth. Many of
them are granite structures that rise
steeply from 20 to 100 feet, we'll cover
ed with rich soil, through which small
fresh water streams hurry to the sea,
which they reach after flowing over
beaches of glistening calcareous sand
that are begirt by coral reefs, which
form walls about the islands.

At early dawn Of light.
The cloud dropped softly to the lake
Amid a sound OF whirring wings
And spread into a graceful line
A host Of living things

The sunless day seemed dark no mors,
When suddenly a shot rang out
And echoed round the shore.

But they were doomed, and all that day
The shots pealed FORTH and on the waves
The dead and dying lay.
