MARGIN QUITE SMALL.
Conservatives Have But Four In
Cuban Constitutional Convention.

Havana, May 21.-Conservatlves
now claim only a majority of four in
the Cuban constitutional convention.
When the convention met yesterday
it was found four of the conservatives
were absent, and the disposition to
hush things which had been agreed
upon as the program was changed to
movement to block the radicals from
coming to the final vote. Yesterday S
session was secret, and probably the
sessions will continue secret during
the discussion of the two reports.
After the minority and majority re-
ports had been read, the conservatives
made canvass of the house and,
finding their majority doubtful, asked
the privilege of the tabling of both re-
ports for twenty hours. An effort
will be made to bring out today the
full strength of the conservatives,
who have virtually agreed to vote for
the majority report as presented.

CADETS MUST GO.
Secretary Root Approves Action of
West Point Officers.

Washington, May 22.-Secretary
Root has approved the action of the
board of officers at West Point, which
recommended the dismissal Of five ca
diets and the suspension of six others.
This sustains the course of Col. Mills
and the other officers in the recent dis
turbances at the academy. The
names of the cadets to be punished
will be announced at the academy az
noon today. Col. Mills, superinten-
dent of the military academy, had a
long consultation with the secretary
of war relative to recent disorders
among the cadets at West Point The
papers in the cases of the cadets who
have been tried for offenses again Is
the authorities have been in the de-.
partment for some time, but have rot
been acted upon. Supt. Mills ex-
planned the condition at the academy,
insisting that many of the published
reports were exaggerated. The pres
ent difficulty grows out of the attempt
to suppress hazing, and the restric-
lions that have been made in this di-
rection since Col. Mills became super
intendent.

Jackson, Miss, May o. The SUI
preme court of Mississippi upholds
the Cox antitrust law enacted at the
last session of the legislature in the
case of the State VS.. Mississippi Cot
ton Oil Co. The constitutionality of
the act was not passed upon, but the
mills having been proceeded against
jointly as trust and combine, and the
lower courts having granted them sew
erance, the decision reversing that rul-
ing is portentous of disaster to the
thirty mills interested.

New York, May 18.-The body OF
a man found Thursday night IN
house in Ninth avenue has been 1den-
tilted as that of the Rev. Edward S.
Phillips of st. Gabriel's church, Hazel
ton. Pa, who recently had a confer
ence with J. Pierpont Morgan in ref
erence to the threatened strike IN
the iron and coal regions of Pennsyl-
vania. The coroner says that the
Identification can hardly De questioned
as papers found on the body seem to
proye it. The police are working on
what may prove to be a murder.
Kirk Stanley, a massage operator,
in whose rooms the body was found,
is under arrest as suspicious person.
Decomposition had advanced so far
when the body was discovered that
cursory examination was not suthclent
to reveal the cause of death.
At the conclusion of the autopsy
held last night, Coroner Bausch said:
"a complete autopsy was made by
DR.. O'Hanlon and it shows no marks
of violence, no fracture, and no
hemorrhage of the brain. The condi-
lions of the organs Of the body would
indicate that death was due to chronic
nephritis and fatty liver. Owing to
the suspicious circumstances attached
to the case it was deemed reasonably
lust that a chemical analysis should
be made of the organs which will be
sent to Professor Witthaus."
DR.. O'Hanlon said: "The autopsy
. showed that the man suffered from
chronic Brights disease, fatty liver,
fatty heart, any of which would have
been sufficient cause for his death
OF course, he might have been given
hot bath or might have been
smothered. There are no signs OF
alcoholism in the stomach.
Coroner Bausch gave a permit for
the removal of the body from the
morgue to am undertaking establish
ment and the body will probably be
shipped to the priests late home today.
The police theory so far is that Father
Phillips died in DR.. Stanley's rooms,
either after having been drugged for
robbery, or simply as result of in
toxication or excitement, and that
Stanley was afraid to notify the
authorities, putting it off from day to
day.
Away for Vacation.
Hazelton, Pa, May 49, Father
Phillips had been away from Hazel
ton for about two weeks ON vacation.
During his absence he is said to have
attended the ceremonies incident to
the elevation of Monseigneur Marti-
nelli to the rank of cardinal.
Father Phillips was a prominent
member of the Ancient Order Of Hi
bernians and the Elks lodge of this
city. He took an active part in set
thing the A. o. II. difficulties few
years ago. He was strong temperance
advocate, and his influence with the
men of all nationalities, who make up
the population of the anthracite reg
ion, was recognized by miners and
mine owners alike. His participation
in the settlement of the miners strike
of last year is still fresh in the minds
of the public.

FRED. BAILEY DEAD.

Fred. Bailey, the young man who
disappeared from the farm of Alfred
Leathley, in Sheridan township,
three years ago last October, and
regarding which disappearance
there was more or less neighbour
hood gossip for a long time after
wards, died In the Sisters Hospital
at Fort Benton, Montana, on May
22d last, at the age of % years.
Letters had been. received here
from young Bailey for some time
prior to his demise, and on his
demise letters from various parties
at Fort Benton addressed to Mrs.
Leathley were received notifying
her of the death. Young Bailey was
doing general work ever since he
left here.
This should put a stop to the
neghborhood gossip regarding the
disappearance, and exonerates Mr..
and Mrs. Leathley from any blame
in connection with the disap-
pearance.
