WILSON TO WEATHER MEN.
Tells "what Science Is Doing for
American Farmer."

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 29.--The
weather bureau officials of the United
States were banquetted by the citizens
of Milwaukee tonight. The chief
speaker of the evening was Secretary
of Agriculture James Wilson. who re-
sponded to the toast, What Science Is
Doing for the American Farmer" Sec
rotary Wilson said In part:
THE weather bureau of the United
States is a unique development, pecu-
liarly American. designed for the bene-
iii of agriculture and commerce, that he
who plants and harvests may work
more intelligently and he who carries
on the water may have more knowledge
of atmospheric conditions. We have
not followed any of the old nations of
the old word in applied meteorology
nor in applied science of any kind that
relates to industry. The Experiment Of
agriculture. through it's bureaus. di-
visions and officers, not only applies
science to practice, but inquiries, expe-
riments, discovers and invents, as well
in helping the producers and carriers"
The speaker said 1t was the work of
tn agricultural department to make
this country independent of all others.
A weather bureau of the United States
would soon be put around the world,
and the time was rapidly nearing when
the United States will supply all it's
wants independently in the line of
growing teas, tobacco, sugar and every
thing else, which we now have TO i'm
Fort partially.

GOING THROUGH WITH A'RUSH.
Alabama Constitution Not Likely TO
he Changed.


Montgomery, Ala, Aug. z9.-The con-
stitutional convention took up the COM
mittee's report on harmony this morn
ing. The report showed that there were
Is articles and 24S sections in the new
constitution.
The bill of rights was first read and
was adopted without aye and nay votes.
The article on state and county boun-
daries was then read. 1t provided for
the creation of only one new county,
to be formed out of Dale, Geneva and
Henry counties. When the articles had
been read, Delegate Cornweli of Jeffer-
son offered an amendment which ap-
thorized the Legislature to create a
new county out of portions of Jefferson
and Tuscaloosa. The amendment was
tabled by a vote of 81 to Sc. Delegate
Murphree of Pike desired to amend the
last section which allows the county
site to be removed by majority vote.

of IS to 81.
At the afternoon session the conven-
ton completed consideration of the ar
ticles on local legislation, legislative
and executive departments. The article
on the judiciary was under considera-
ton when the body adjourned.

Republicans in Virginia convention
Air Their Views.
Richmond, Va, Aug. 29.-The debate
on the preamble and bill of rights was
continued in the constitutional conven-
ton to-day. The hall was packed with
visitors. The galleries were filled and
there were few vacant seats on the
floor. Ninety-four members arrived to-
day and answered to their names.
Mr.. Harter, of Hanover, presented a
minority report from the committee on
the legislative department stating that
the minority was unable to concur in
the recommendation prohibiting the
passage of any law whereby private
property shall be taken or damaged
for public uses without just compensa-
tion.'l
The report says the present provis-
ions on this subject, which omits ref
erence to property damaged, but not
taken, is ample.

was often interrupted by prolonged
applause, as he pleaded that the ques-
ton of submission be deferred until
the work of the convention is COM
pleted. He said that If his people
were not materially disfranchised he
would vote for an abridged electorate;
otherwise he should have to vote TO
submit to the present electorate.
Mr.. Pedigo, Republican, of Henry.
followed Mr.. Richmond in favor of
submitting the constitution to the
present electors. He assailed the DEM
ocratic party, and said the last Iair
election held in the state was when
the Underwood constitution was rati-
fed. He was willing to assume all re-
sponsibility for the thirteenth, four
teenth and fifteenth amendments TO

HAVE BEEN MANY REPAIRS.
White House Beautified in Absence
of the President.

Washington, Aug. 29.-President ana
Mrs. Mckinley are expected to return
to Washington within the next week
or ten days. At the White House, it
is said that the President may even
return sooner. His long absence from
the executive mansion this summer,
has been largely due to the fact that
number of much needed improve
ments and repairs in the living part of
the house, We're necessary. 1t will be
remembered that very little was done
in the way of inside work on the White
House last summer. At that time.
the proposition to enlarge the build
ing. in accordance with the plans sub
mitted by Col. Bingham, Commissioner
of Public Buildings and Grounds, was
being vigorously agitated. With a
view, no doubt of impressing Con-
gress with the necessity for immediate
action, on the plan of extension; many
much needed alterations and improve
ments were at that time allowed to go
unattended to.
AS the extension scheme did not
take root in Congress, owing to the SUI
perior influence of the Washington real
estate ring, the White House this
summer demanded a thorough over
hauling to make it habitable. Since
Congress adjourned. the President has
spent large portion of the time away
from Washington. His long trip to
California and his other short trips,
together with his sojourn at Canton,
have enabled the workmen to have pos
session of the mansion all summer.
The work of renovating is now prac-
tically finished, and should the Presi-
doGtra tn rafIIrn washington
tomorrow, everything would be in
readiness for his reception and COM
fort. Besides a little painting on the
outside of the building, and one or
two minor details on the interior, the
historical old mansion is to-day said to
be in better condition than 1t has been
for many years past.

The accident occurred at Lobate side

WON'T BE ROOM FOR ALL.
Newspapers Men CIamor for Seats at
Court of Inquiry.

Washington, Aug. 29.-As the time
draws near for the converting of the
Schley court of inquiry. interest in the
event appears to be on the increase.
Notwithstanding all that has been pub
lished and said on the subject since
Rear Admiral Schley was induced to
ask for the assembling of the court,
the general public appears to be hun
CRY for every detail bearing upon the
subject.
The preliminary preparations now in
progress at the Washington navy yard
in connection with the court suggest
a great national event. The big store
room just inside the navy yard gate,
where the court Is to assemble, is be-
ing fitted UP with Geographic and tele-
phonic accommodations for the press
there viii be room for several hundred
persons who may desire to witness the
trial. Judge Advocate General Lemly
who has charge of the arrangements
for the trial, has been so hard pressed
by representatives of the press, and the
general public for tickets of admission
to the sessions of the court, that he has
called in the standing committee of
the Washington correspondents to as
sist him in taking proper care of legiti-
mate working members of the press.
Space has not been allotted to the
representatives of the press which will
accommodate about so persons. The APP
plications already received by Mr.. Dun
nell, chairman Of the Press Commit
tee, aggregate several hundred. Sew
eral of the New York papers have made
applications for space for five and six
men, including writer's, photographers
and sketch artists. The pressure for
accommodations is almost as great as
at the Inauguration ceremonies or some
other equally spectacular national per-
Torrance. With a view to being reliev-
ed OF the responsibility of dealing with
the rival representatives of the press
Judge Advocate General Lemly has
turned the entire press space over TO
the Press Commitvee, headed by Mr..
Dunnell. Being a veteran correspon-
dent, as well as an able and fair mind
ed man. Mr.. Dunnell and his associates
on the committee will see to II that
the actual workers of the press, who
may be assigned TO report the Schley
knqIury, will be provided Tor as far as

possible. No discrimination will be
made in favor of big paper as against
less pretentious publication, and
those papers who are counting on Sc
curing three and four seats at the press
tables will be disappointed. The rules
which apply to the press gallery dur
ing the sessions of Congress will be
enforced during the Schley inquiry. so
that working newspaper men will be
given the preference over idlers. Curl
osity seekers and fakirs.
