LONDON MOURNS.
Great City in CONSERVATION over King

London, June 24.-The sudden an
nouncement of the postponement of
the coronation just on the eve of the

KANSAS POPULISTS.
Large Attendance at the Kansas State
Nominating Convention.

Topeka, Kas., June 24.-Five thous-
ana delegates and visitors filled the
Auditorium today when the populist
state nominating convention was call
ed to order. The fusion element pre-
dominated and the delegates mixed
their enthusiasm with that of the dem
ocrats, the latter being represented
by large force of democratic leaders
who were on hand to see that the well
laid plans for fusion were not tTipped
up by any schemes on the part of the
willy 'mid-roaders." Judging from the
preliminary speeches and early pro-
ceedings of the convention. however.
the fear of interference with the fus-
ion plans, was without foundation and
unless all signs go astray the demo
cratic ticket nominated at Wichita last
month will be indorsed with a hurrah.
Upon assuming the chairmanship of
the convention, Senator Harris pro-
ceeded upon review of the history and
rise of the populist party. He brought
cheer from the democrats when he
announced that the national policy OF
the democratic party would continue
as at present. He paid a splendid
tribute to President Mckinley, and
added:
once he nearly convinced me that
| should leave the democracy and be-
come a republican"
A committee of fourteen was ap-
pointed to confer with the democratic
committee as to the best method to
nominate a ticket and effect fusion. A
motion was made for adjournment
until O'Clock. Another made the
convention agree upon a basis of fu-
sion before a conference committee
was sent out and prior to adjournment.
This called for a test vote which car
ried for adjournment by an extremely
close margin which indicates a tight in
the convention before a ticket is

Popular Company Coming Back.

HI. Grattan Donnelly's latest play,
"The American Girl" will be the at.
traction at Swishers Theater Wednes-
day Feb. 26.
This is said to be the best work from
the pen of the author OF Darkest
Russia" "NatEral Cas-" etc. The
story, beginning in Virginia, relates
to the adventures of an American girl
who has gone TO London in search OF
her husband from whom she has be-
come separated by adverse cireum-
stances. The important characters in
the development Of the plot are her
twin children Prince Roy and The
Little Lady. Perhaps the most i'm
p0rtant character ia bringing about
a happy finale is that of Ross Bolter.
This charactes is being played By Mr..
George f. Hall who has met with a
most fiattering success in the part.
3tThe other characters are well sustain
ed, the two children being particular
ly clever.

WILL AGAIN CONTRACT.
Morgantown Planning Mill is Doing a
Tremendous Business.

We have located in our midst one
OF the best Planning Mill Plants in
West Virginia.
This has gradually grown from a
comparatively small concern to a
complete Factory employing from
10 to 30 men owing to the season of
the year, they have recently put in
several new and up.to date machines
and are now well equipped for doing
the most intricate work. Their EN-
ployes are all thorough mechanics
selected from all parts of the coun-
try. They did last year over eighty
thousand dollars worth of business
and want to double that this year il
possible, and Judging by their i'm
mense stock of lumber, Sash, doors,
shingles, lath, lime, cement, glass,
oils, paints etc. We have no doubt
they will do it
Their lathe for doing iron work
has been kept busy since it was in
stalled last spring. This is probably
because everybody knows that Mr..
James Nj. Hogue is a skilled ma.
chanic and any work intrusted to
him will be carefully done and at
living prices, every department has
been re-arranged SO that orders can
now be gotten out on shortest notice
possible.
They have decided to again enter
into the contracting business and
have secured the services of COM
petent Foreman, who can be found
at their office for the purpose of
making estimates &c. We believe
it will be to the advantage OF any
person contemplating building to
see them at the office of the Nor
gantown Planning Mill Co. Beech

Senator Patterson Declares He
Believes He Has Made
Misrepresentation.
MOTIVES FOR DOING UNKNOWN.
Asserts That If the Six Millions of
Christians In Philippines Were
Protestants, crueities Practiced AZ
Americans Would Have to Stop.

Washington, Feb. 21.-With the ex-
routine business, the senate yester-
day devoted its entire session to the
Philippine question. Mr.. Patterson,
of Colorado, one of the minority
members of the Philippine commit
tee, delivered his first extended
speech in the senate and was given
a most attentive and careful hearing.
He discussed principally the sedition
laws enacted by the Philippine COM
mission, vigorously attacking the au-
therity of the commission to enact
and enforce such laws. He main
tanned that congress alone had the
power to put in force enactments of
that character. He compared info..
nation furnished by the executive
some of the statements of Governor
Taft in his testimony before the Phil
ippine committee with respect to the
capabilities of the Philippine people,
and declared with some heat his be-
lief that Governor Taft misrepresent-
ed the true situation in the islands
for motives unknown. He asserted
that il the six million of Christians
in the Philippines were Protestant
Christians the cruelties practiced on
them by the American authorities
would have to stop, as no member Of
congress would be able to Withstand
the wrath of the Methodists, Bap-
fists and Presbyterians of his coun-
try.
Nelson Defends Philippine Policy.
Mr.. Nelson, OF Minnesota, presented
a legal and constitutional argument
in support of this governments ac.
ton in the Philippine archipelago
and sharply criticised Mr.. Patterson
for injecting into the controversy the
question OF sectarianism.
MIR. MeCumber, Of North Dakota,
urged thar congress should not bind
the future now by declaration of
definite policy regarding the Philip
pines, as it was desirable that all
possible information should be In
hand before permanent policy was
determined upon.
