 "on the 18th of July last the associa- ton assembled In Birmingham. Hon. w. c. Jemison of the-Tuscaloosa Times was the chairman of the committee on me- morials. and he had the happiness of reporting to the convention that no mem Der of the association had died during the previous twelve months.
 MT Jemison himself is dead now, his death being almost the first in the asso- citation in about two years. Others who were together in happy comradeship here last July and who heard MT. Jemison re- port no death' but who since then have received the final 'sO' were:

Monroe were original charter members of the Press Association when it was organized, some five and twenty years ago. Dr. Grubbs was one of the first vice-presidents. MT. Jemison had been leading member for many years. and for several years an officer; and MT. Pope and MT. Levy were old and honored members. MT. Mayer was new member, but he was the youngest of those who have died and held the most re- sponsible position, the managing editor ship of the Age-Herald.

Two Great Cities.

Greater London, with g. population of 6,578,7s4, stands unrivalled and even unapproached. among the cities of the world, And as it Is increasing at a good rate it is difficult to see how it's primacy can be taken away during the present century. It is twice the size of New York, and thrice the size of 4aris, and four times larger than Chi cago or Berlin. The enormous city is gathering population yearly, not as rapidly as is New York or Berlin or Chicago, but still rapidly enough to maintain it's place at the head of the list throughout this century. As to .-.s next or other century speculation Is useless, for circumstances, may by that tune be greatly changed. As mother shipton predicted men may by that tina go through the air so rapidly that anything within hundred miles of town weuld be conveniently su- burban. xsJ

This would, it is true, leave it two millions short of London's popula- tion, but the differences in growth would overcome this in the course of a century. But New Jersey will not listen to this. although bridge is soon to connect the New Jersey suburbs with the central city, and the addition would , make the city symmetrical in size.

THE CHIEF CABINET FIGURE.

From the Boston Herald.
 The Springfield Republican. as the ef- feet of a survey of the work done in President McKinleys cabinet. reaches the conclusion. that Secretary Root is the master mind there. It finds him looming up as does other members of the Presidents official family. He is not on- ly effective in his special sphere in the War Department; he has connected with his achievement here that which might have been left to the. Secretary of State under other conditions, and has been in- fluential in the settlement of legal ques- tions which are, strictly speaking, with in the province of the Attorney General The Republican regards Mr. Root as a strong man, and likens his rise to infin- ence in the present cabinet to that of Mir. Olney in the second cabinet of Pres ident Cleveland. There Is certainly a marked contrast in the character of Mir Root to that of the man he succeeded among the Presidents advisers. He is a parsonage of that individuality which tends to independence, ut he has given no trouble to Mir. Mckinley in this lat ter respect. srf

NO PROMISE OF SPEEDY
 ACCEPTANCE. BY. .CUBANS
BY ALBERT HALsTEAo.

Washington, June s.(Speclal. )-Reports from Cuba do not give any promise of the speedy acceptance of the Platt amend ment by the Cuban convention. It would appear as if the Cuban delegates were surly because of the failure of their scheme to modify the Piatt amendment by the explanations they added to it. This surliness Is not a matter of serious con
 cern to the administration, though the President Is very anxious to have the United States freed from the direct re- sponsibility for the administration of Cu- ban affairs He looks with interest and hopefulness to the coming experiment with self government. No attitude could be more disinterested than that of the President and the American government, and consequently the prevailing suspicion is disappointing and dlscouraging. It IS very evident that it wall take considerable time for the Cubans to realize the impor- tance of accepting our conditions The delay is not harmful to the United States and perhaps it may have the advantage for Cuba of making her people better pre- pared for self government.
 There is some little irritation in official circles but 1t Is not expressed publicly, because of the evident attempt of the Gu bans to play a sharp game on the United States. They phrased their notifications or explanations to the Platt amendment so as to materially change the conditions i'm posed, while pretending to simply incor- porate Secretary Roots Interpretations of the terms provided in the amendment. The effect of this was to make 1t appear that Secretary Root held out promises without authority and thus to piac- our government In rather an unfavorable light. It appears, however, that Secretary Root. cautious as he naturally is, was particularly careful to state that he could not change the amendment in the slightest particular and that ne absolutely refused to reduce his interpretations to writing. Yet he gave to the Cubans a copy of letter from Senator Platt, the author of the amendment which distinctly showed our dsinterested purposes and made 1t evil dent that the United States did not pro-

M'KINLEY WOULD BE

New York, June 9.-It is believed by the inside circles here that Senator Depew s reported utterances in favor of Mckinley as a logical candidate for third term means something more than after dinner talk.
 In speaking of the matter Governor Odell, who has been mentioned as a Re- publican possibility, said he read head lines, but decided 1t too hot weather to read the entire article
 Senator Morgan of Alabama says:

 AS a Democrat, he would be glad to see the attempt made.
 Senator Bacon of Georgia says:
 T have no anticipation that the Re- publican party would ever nominate any one for a third term"
 Representative Kitchen of North Caro- line says:
 Conditions do not, and, in my opinion cannot justify third term. Modern re- publicanism. with trusts and imperialism guiding, may tend toward third term or life term, but I think people will wake from war dreams and monopoly influences in time to preserve to humanity our sye- tenn of government and its principle of justice and right"

KING EDWARD DANCES WELL

From the Philadelphia Times
 London, June LA life of King Edward VII, written by "one of His Servants has been published. It is quite interest ing and is full of anecdotes of his majes- ty, to whose traits are devoted a good deal of space. Probably the average Briton will learn with surprise that his majesty is "inordinately fond of danc- ing" and that for many a year his friends declared he danced the Highland fling better than any one in the kingdom. These years, one would think. must be long past. He. however, is a fine skater. plays hockey well, is good sailor and has, of late years, patronized pigeon flying. Among his minor hobbies is that of collecting arms of all kinds
 The wardrobe of King Edward is some what immense. This Is due, to a consid- erable extent, to the many complimentary naval and military appointments he holds About the fit of his private clothes he is most particular and gives employment to three tailors. The King has a great dislike for eccentricity in dress, startling neckties and fancy waist coats, and, above all, a profusion of jewelry Is strictly tabooed.
 The King has now turned his renovat- ing energy in new direction. Cram bourne Lodge. a forgotten royal resi- dence, which lies in a beautiful wooded glade between Virginia Walter and As- cot is to be made a fit habitatlon.
 The lodge Is a quaint house. built in the reign of Charles II by the famous Lord Ranelagh, and has some interest ing rooms of that period. It was occu- pied for some years by Princess Charlotte of Wales. after her marriage to Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg. Since then the house had not been occupied.

That Is not important save that it indicates that the Cubans can not be trusted and are as tricky in diplomacy as any Oriental.
 Chauncey M. Depew's remark that the only objection which may be urged against his fMcKinley's) reelection Is the anti-third term feeling, and that would amount to nothing where the candidate possesses the confidence of the country to the extent that MT. Mckinley does. has stirred the anti-imperialists the gen tlemen who in their imaglnations look upon MT. Mckinley as a possible em- peror, to frenzy. They point to this chance and irresponsible remark of MT. Depew as an indication of the trend of events, and are consequently in state of great alarm lest the days of the Re- public are numbered. Now MT Depew evidently did not think very carefully when he spoke in that way. It was a silly remark to come from United States Senator who has a reputation for good sense, and good judgment. There is ab- solutely no possibility whatsoever that MT Mckinley will be a candidate for a third term, and if he were he would be badly beaten notwithstanding his popu- larity. Many of his best friends would oppose him because they think the estab- lishment of a third-term principle un- wise, rather than because they are afraid of Mir. Mckinley himself. MT. Mckinley has no ambition to be President for third term. Those who know him best understand that. His ambition is to com plete his second term successfully and to retire with the certainty that his name will live in history as one of the coun- try's greatest Presidents.
