UNCOMMON interest attaches to the
lourneyings of the President. For
more than half century our Chief
Executives have been accustomed to
visiting different parts of the country.
None ever made more Of a practice of
coming in contact with the people by
this method than did the universally
beloved Mckinley, yet President Nc
Kinley so timed his visits that they
we're invariably divested of immediate
political significance. That they were
actually fraught with political con-
sequences Of importance, not only as
affecting the Presidents own party,
but in the way of influencing the trend
Of National Administration, was de-
mOnstrated from the beginning.
With President Roosevelt, however,
the case is different. He holds that
the election of Republican House is
of the highest importance; that the
people have a right to know exactly
what the Administration believes aud
proposes to accomplish, Kand he pro
poses to go among them and carry his
own messages.
AS it happens, the need for such
political talks from President Roose
welt is greater, possibly, than it ha
been from any other Chief Executiv,
in recent years. The importance o
the trust question, the imperativ
necessity for Cuban Reciprocity, tn
growing magnitude Of tariff revisio
as an issue among Republicans -thes
and many other things make it desil
able that the President should let th
views Of the Administration be gene
ally known, to the end that the peopl
may know exactly what to expect, an
that an intelligent public sentimeI
may demonstrate in the voting and
the influencing Of the convictions
members Of the next Congress.

A Knieht,. way of Marrying.

OF all the, matrimonial trafficking-
in the age Of chivalry-the ways of
widows are at once the bOldest and
most comprehensive. AS a rule their
methods seldom resort to blandish-
ment; it is remarkable when tender
ness is an item in their bargain. Speed
was their maxim; it was one King
John honOred, for he profited by it.
Yet one of the rarest exceptions in
the way Of delicacy to these CONNER
cial negotiations has evidently been
prompted by widow who had quite
an exceptional lover. In 1906 William
de Landa-either one of the most ia
nous of the crusaders or his son-offers
80 marks and a palfrey for having
to wife Joan, who was the wife or
Thomas de Aresey, ''if he may be
pleasing to the said Joan," the sheriff
is instructed to ascertain the widows
wishes, "and IL the said Joan shall
be pleased to have him for a husband
then the sheriff shall cause William
to have seizin of Joan and her land,
both of which he obtained in the name
Of gentle love and the faith of a true
soldier. 1t is fitting that the name
of one Of the men who led the assault
Of Acre should be preserved in such
record as the above. He was in truth
very perfect knight.-GentlemGn'i

Are Gathering at Springfield for the
Convention Tomorrow.
Springfield, Ill, June 16.-A majority
of the 1,259 delegates, together with a
large number OF other visitors, have ar
rived for the democratic state conven-
ton, which will be called to order at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning in Machin-
cry hall at the state fair grounds. The
election this year is for minor state
officials only, and interest in the con-
yention centers not so much in the
nominations as in the attitude to be
taken regarding state and national
campaign issues. Unless the expressed
opinions of prominent party leaders
count for naught the resolutions will
be silent regarding Bryan and his doc
trines and concerning national affairs
will be confined TO a denunciation of
the Philippine policy of the present ad-
ministration and other questions which
nave come to the front since the Chi
caCO convention.

Trouble is Predicted.

Bramwell, w. Va. June 16.-Several
hundred more strikers returned to
work today in the Flat Top and Tug
River coal fields. and probably half
of the number who struck week ago
have now returned to work. The re-
mainder now out are becoming desper-
ate. This morning probably 100 of the
strikers, heavily armed, left Simmons,
where there are three collieries, and
started on a march to Pocahontas.
Iney allege they will stop all work
there. Many believe troops will soon
be necessary in this field as serious
trouble is predicted

GREAT ROCK ISLAND.
1t is Rechristened and Now Called
the "Rock Island System"
INVOLVES MUCH WORK,

The Great Rock Island Route" ceas-
ed to exist in name last Saturday. In
its place was born the Rock Island
System. The change in name is the
result of an order issued by President
Leeds. which has been made necessary
on account of the numerous tributary
lines acquired by the Rock Island. It
is not route" now but a system"
The Rock Island system is composed
of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific;
Chicago. Rock Island & Texas; Chi.
cago, Rock Island q El Paso; Burling-
ton, Cedar Rapids & Northern; the St.
Louis, Kansas City & Colorado; Choc-
taw, Oklahoma G. Gulf; Chicago, Rock
Island & Mexico; Rock Island & Peo.
ria, and Choctaw & Northern lines
In addition to these lines it seems
nkely that the Rock Island will ac-
quire several more roads and at the
same time build several hundred
miles of new road that will be merged
into this system within the coming
year.
The Kansas City & Southern, the
Maple Leaf and the Frisco system are
three roads which report says will soon
belong to the Rock Island A new line
from Fort Worth through Dallas to
houston and the Gulf of 4uexico will be
completed within the year and trains
will be running over the Kansas City
st. Louis line before 1903. Report also
says that the Rock Island is to have it's
own Pacific coast line from Ell Paso.
The work of changing the trade mark
of the Rock Island over its entire sys-
TEN will be a work of greater magni-
tude than most people not initiated
into railroad work will be able to COM
prehend. Every sign in the ticket office
windows from one end of the country
to the other must be changed, and
there are over 700 stations on the main
line alone. Every sign at every COM
mercial agency of the road of which
there are at least hundred or two all
over the United States, must he chang
ed, and every sign on every billboard,
every coach, freight car, switch engine
and locomotive and every piece of prop
erty of the road must be changed.
Every piece of printed matter. from
letter heads, envelopes, blanks and
folders to the advertising pamphlets,
maps, etc. must be changed.
The change will necessitate painting
out the old trade mark that has be-
come so familiar TO the travelling pub
lie on over 20 900 freight cars, 500 pas
senger cars, and nearly 700 engines,
and the substitution therefor of the
new trade mark. II will be difficult to
estimate how long it will take to COM
plete the work of changing the trade
mark of the company.

STRIKE SITUATION
Trouble Predicted in
West Virginia.
A White Woman Killed Five
Children.
King Edward Much Better and Went
to Windsor.
FAST TRAIN SERVICE.

Scranton, Pa. June 16.-Nearly 100
fire bosses in mines in Lackawanna
region refused to make the usual in
spections today in compliance with the
order from strikers headquarters ask.
ing them to quit and thus assist the
strikers in winning their fight. This is
claimed to be more than half the force
of these workmen in this region and
the result cannot be otherwise than
disastrous to mining property, for with
the accumulation of gas, pump runners
cannot keep at work. There is also
danger of explosions which only the
greatest precautions can prevent.
Those fire bosses who did not quit to-
day are confidently expected to do so
tomorrow. The companies will find it
impossible to fill the places of these
men, as 1t requires much experience to
become expert in this work. Robinson,
a Delaware & Hudson deputy, who was
shot through the right lung at Oliphant
late Saturday night by some unknown
person alleged to be a striker, is still
alive with the chances against him.
The company offered $1,000 reward for
the arrest and conviction of the assail-
ant.

PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS.

Washington, June 16.-President
Palma of Cuba has indicated to Pres
ident Roosevelt his conviction the re.
bate proposition relative to Cuban
sugar will be not only very objection.
able in itself but will be expensive and
almost impossible to carry out in dis
tribution.
Should it become apparent there is
no possibility of an agreement between
the senate and house upon the pending
reciprocity proposition. then the pres
ident probably will endeavor to sim
plify the problem by dropping the
house out of all calculations and ne
gotiating directly with President Pal
ma. 1t is true such treaty would re-
quire the approval of two thirds of
the senate, but it is believed under the
changed conditions this will not be inn
possible of attainment.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Circular as to the Method ofSecuring
Sites for Federal Buildings.
A FEW FACTS.

Postmaster r. W. Hopkins, when
seen this morning, stated that he knew
nothing of the published item to the
effect that bids for the proposed public
building in Albuquerque would be
opened on July Is. The postmaster
then handed in for publication the fol
lowing statement of the method of Sc
curing sites for federal buildings:
Treasury Department, Office of the
Secretary. Washington, June 10.-ln
some cases where a public building has
been authorized by law site is tionat-
ed, but before such donation can be ac-
cepted the government ascertains
whether the lot is suitable in all re-
spects for the purpose intended, with
clear title, etc
When a site must be purchased, how
ever, proposals to sell the necessary
land are invited by the publication in
the local paper of an advertisement
which gives the approximate size of
the lot required (being corner lot -
feet in the case of the building in your
city,; states that the site must be on
corner centrally and conveniently To-
Gated: that the vendors of the site
chosen much furnish at their own eX-
pCnse all abstracts, official certitica-
tions, evidences of title, etc, deemed
nee Cssary by the attorney general, and
must remove any improvements that
MAJ be Or. the land whenever required
to do so: anG gives such other points
as it may be considered necessary to
have covered in the bids. The pro-
posals are opened on the day set in the
advertisement, and as soon as possible
an agent of the department is sent to
make a personal examination of the
properties offered. When his report
has been submitted the department
makes the selection, and the proposal
of the cwner of the land selected is
formally accepted, upon the conditions
named in the advertisement and, furth-
er, that the attorney general shall give
a favorable opinion as to rh2 validity
of the title to TIE prCUcrty. Gsncl ally,
the notice to remove improvements Is
not given until some time after the
purchase has been consumated. When
the owners of the land chosen are un-
able t. make good voluntary convey
ance, or if it is not possible TO agree up
on a reasonable price for the site Sc
lected, the land may be condemned.
After the state shall have ceded to
the United States exclusive Ju:sdlc-
tion over the land (if such cession has
not already heen made), ana the tue
to the site has become vested in the
United States, the plans for the build
ing-based upon reports from local
and Washington officials as to the ac-
commodations necessary 10 be prOyid-
are taken up Ia due course, the
work placed under contract and the
building erected as speedily as the cir
cumstances of the case permit.

Well Known Here.

Atchison, who did the shooting was
well known here, as he has been here
frequently. He was a saloon man and
had been drinking heavily all of Sat
urday night.
He was fiourishing a revolver around
and O'Meara took the gun away from
him. Atchison began to upbraid
O'Meara for having accepted an invita-
tion to a dance that evening when he
had declined to attend one he had Civ
en- before. Words followed and O'Mea-
ra went to the dance.
Atchison went home, secured load
ed rifle, and lay in wait for O'Meara
as he came from the dance. He fired
several shots and O'Meara was in
stantly killed.
Thayer was shot in the arm and it
was not thought at first that his wound
was serious, but his condition grew
rapidly worse.
So far as known Thayer never had
any trouble with Atchison, and it is
supposed the bullet which struck him
was intended for O'Meara.
Atchison disappeared at once and
the officers of adjoining counties have
been notified to be on the lookout Tor
him.
The blood hounds from the peniten-
tlary were sent down last night.
O'Meara was from New York and
his body will be sent back there for
burial. He was very popular in the
camp, while Atchison was quarrelsome
when drinking.
Will Thayer was well known in this
city, having played ball here with the
Santa Fe team. He was a son of Char
ley Thayer. Sr., of Santa Fe, who is
an old time gambler, and a brother of
Charley Thayer, w-o was an employe
at the White Elephant and who is now
in Mexico He was quiet boy and was
only about 19 years of age. A great
deal of trouble has befallen the Thayer
family the past two years.
Sheriff Hubbell was advised of the
murder by telegram.

Several Important Questions Will Bs
Acted Upon.

Acted Upon.
Baltimore. Md, June 16.-Several
important questions are to be consid-
cred and acted upon by the convention
of the International Pressmen's union,
which began in this city today. and
will continue in session through the
week. The most important relates to
press feeders and assistants. who are
now affiliated with the union, and the
formation by them of distinct press
feeders and assistants union. The
question of the Allied Printing Trades
label will also receive attention. There
is some friction at present between
the pressmen and the International
Typographical union. and the position
of the pressmen will be defined at the
convention.
Over 800 delegates from all parts of
the United States and Canada respond
ed to the roll call when the convention
