Immediately by the explosion of gas

FROM RICHMOND.

1t is now generally conceded that there
will be no commission created by the
Legislature to codify the laws to conform
to the new constitution, nor will the
work be done by the standing committees
of the two houses during the recess. The
House again yesterdayby an overwhelm-
ing vote rejected several propositions
providing for a commission, as well as
others which authorize the presiding
officers of the two houses to designate
what articles of the constitution will be
referred to the standing committees OF
these two bodies. The House, however,
adhered to its determination not to sane
ton the consideration of the codification
of the laws until the long session which
begins November II.
The Senate concurred in the House
resolution providing for recess from to-
day till November II. There was dis
position not to concede to the House
proposition for adjournment, but the
Senators saw that the lower branch was
determined to refuse to have anything to
do with the codifcation commission.

DECISION IN THE McAULIFFE
CASE.

New York, July 25.--Justice Mayer
in a decision rendered today in the
mysterious case of james McAulitfe,
holds that HcAulife received his death
wounds after his arrest by the police,
but declares that there is no evidence TO
show the manner whereby the injuries
were suffered. While this does not ex-
actly exonerate the police, it does not
directly connect them with the case.
McAuliffe was a witness in the case Of
Police ward man Glennon, last winter,
and the conviction of the officer on the
charge of neglect of duty was largely in
fluenced by McAuliffe's testimony.
Threats were made against him. Later,
on February Is, he was arrested,
charged with drunkenness. Next day
he was found dying in the street near
the police station where he was lodged
during the night. The allegation had
been made that the man received his In
iuries in the police station.

ing of the big fight found the contest
ants in perfect physical condition await
ing the hour when they finally shall de-
eide the pugilistic heavyweight cham-
pionship of the world. 1t will be con-
test between a man in the prime of early
manhood, full Of vigor, strength, caution
and confidence born of hitherto vic
torious career and bold, tricky oppo-
nent. Jeffries admits weighing in the
neighborhood of PIC pounds. In his
bone and muscle there is not an ounce of
superhuous flesh. Fitz, on the other
hand, claims that his weight is only l65
pounds. Tonight makes his farewell,
win or lose. He is in the last ditch, he
says, and will fight desperately for the
honor. Betting on the outcome is be-
coming heavier. The prevailing odds
are ten to four on Jefries. The arena
will open at six O'Clock tonight. There
will be a preliminary battle between
Dave Barry and Harry Foley at $3.50.
The club will make an effort to have the
big men in the ring at $3.50 at the latest.
Jeffries's seconds will be Billy Delaney,
Joe Kennedy, Jack Jelfries and DIR. Witt
van Court. Fitzsimmons' seconds are
George Dawson, Hank Griffin, Jack
Steiner and Billy Moberly.

COMING CAMPAIGN.-T Washing
ton correspondent of the Richmond Dis
patch sends the following:
The Congressional committee here will
give no little attention to Virginia this
summer. The State will receive large
consignmentof political literature. Thus
far not much literature has gone forth,
except the speeches of the members them
selves, which they have personally dis
tributed. The committee has complete
confidence that the ten Virginia districts
will 90 democratic, but nevertheless the
Old Dominion is to have its share of in
formation about the progress Of things
political. Virginians have preference
for speakers from their own midst, and
in this year, as in campaigns gone by,
majority of the democratic orators of the
State will be Virginians. The republic
can committee has little confidence in
the Virginia republicans. Senator Scott,
of West Virginia, may intercede to get
few dollars from the committee, with
headquarters in New York, for distribu-
ton among the boys in the Old Do
minion, but it will not be large sum,
and the republican officials will have
small faith in the results there"

Althoug the State Department, repre-
sented by Mr.. Leishman, Minister at
Constantinople, is going through the
formalities of a demand upon Turkey for
an indemnity at least equal to the sum
paid the brigands for the release of Miss
Ellen Stone, it is understood that no
hope that it wOnld be paid by Turkey is
seriously entertained here. Neverthe-
less, it is necessary for diplomatic reasons
that the demand should have been made
and Turkey SHOULD be made to appreciate
her responsibility for acts of lawlessness
within her confines. The collection OF
an indemnity from Bulgaria appears
equally hopeless. The outrage was COM
mitted on Turkish soil by Bulgarian
brigands who Immediately fled to thier
own country.
The statement from Chicago that
President John Mitchell of the United
Mine Workers of America proposes to
appeal to President Roosevelt with re-
gard TO the decision of Judge Jackson
that several miners had violated the in
junction restraining them from interfer-
ing with working miners and were guilty
of contempt of court, is not understood
here. What is to be gained by making
protest to the President because Of the
action of the court does not appear, be-
cause the President has no power to set
aside the rulings of judge or to make
him revise his opinions. The only
action possible for him would be to
pardon the convicted persons. If Presi-
dent Mitchell believes that any con-
stitutional right has been infringed by
the decision his proper action would be
to appeal the question to the Supreme
Court of the United States. But,
it is pointed out, there is moth
ing new in Judge Jackson's ru-
lings. Practically the same point was
decided in the Debs case which
originated in Chicago few years ago.
In that case it was held that an in
junction to restrain persons from intim-
idating railroad employees from per-
forming their duties was proper one.
1t was also held that the district court
which issued theinjunction has entire con-
troll of the cases arising from its infring-
ment and could punish for contempt OF
court those who disobeyed the injunction,
and that the decision was not subjected 70
review by the Court of Appeals or the
Supreme Court of the United States.
If the speech makingo of "Mother" Jones
and the others was such as to 'intimi-
date" miners who were at work, officials
of the Department of Justice claim that
Judge Jackson's action was perfectly
proper and that his sentences cannot be
appealed on habeas corpus proceedings
to the United States Court of Appeals
at Richmond, nor to the Supreme Court.

FRIDAY EVENING, JULY %, l9C'

THAT EVERY legitimate means should
be resorted to in the approaching Presi-
dental campaign to wrest the govern
ment from the hands Of those who are
now mismanaging it and playing into
the hands of monopolies, is the conyic-
tion of thousands who in 1900 cast their
votes in protest against the present or
der of things. but that it is mistake to
suppose no man can be democrat and
what many term an aristocrat (that is pos
sessed of qualifications by birth to rule or
rich in this worlds goods is the con-
viction of equally as many thousands
who have followed the fortunes OF the
democratic party through good and evil
report. Hence hosting the standard,
democrat versus AristOcrat," will not
be cheered with as much enthusiasm as
some may imagine. The assertion that
the rank and file of this world depend
ent upon daily toll for livelihood and
those who have the means to live
without being compelled to toll and spin
cannot be reconciled in this world is
fallacv which seems to have been eX-
ploded as far back as the days
when the judges ruled in Israel.
Boaz, in the book of Ruth, isrepres ned
as saIuting his reapers with the words,
"The Lord be with you" Their reply
was. "'The Lord bless thee" This
beautiful rural picture setting forth the
good feeling existing between the rich
and the poor stands in marked contrast
to that of advanced civilization when
the world is infested with anarchists
and Disconnected people who view with
envy those whose paths may lie in more
pleasant places. The arraying Of class
against class has been shown to be
blunder in the past history of the world.
It will be so until the end. True democ-
racy never makes war upon any class,
so far as social conditions are concerned,
and that men of all conditions OF life can
stand upon the broad platform OF democ-
racy has ever been its boast. Aristoc-
racy, so called, has prevailed since the
world began, and every man is more or
less an aristocrat. There are none so
humble who cannot look around and
see others they imagine on lower plane
than themselves. democracy versus
Aristocracy" is an ominous standard
The thoughtless and vicious may inter
pret the words cred republicanism.
Those who think it is aimed at them
will naturally seek the worst etymology
and translate it into ''war against the
rich" 1t had better be furled and Is
sues set forth which are vitality import
ant to all, rich and poor alike. In past
wears a number Of issues, not previously
in the platforms of democratic conven-
tons, have been espoused by the party.
Some of them have produced dissatis-
faction in the ranks. In the coming
contest it is hoped only principles none
can gainsay or resist will be put forth,
and no further pictures drawn calculated
to produce further discomfort in the
world.

AFTER OCEAN TRADE.-A dispatch to
the Londcn Times from Montreal says it
is understood that the Canadian Pacific
Railway Company, at the request of the
Canadian ministers now in London, has
telegraphed an offer to establish and work
weekly fast passenger service composed
of four steamers, with the most modern
equipment and with speed of twenty
knots an hour, between Quebec and
Liverpool in the summer and Halifax
and Liverpoolin the winter, with freight
service of ten or eleven steamers of good
speed, fitted with cold storage and all
other modern appliances. The exact
conditions Of the offer are not known, but
they doubtless figure within that amount
talked of by certain English steamship
lines-namely, a subsidy of 81, 800, 600
annually. 1t will be necessary for the
Canadian Pacific, should steamship
contract be awarded to it, to make special
arrangements with the minister of rail-
ways for the transportation of passengers
and freight between st John and Halifax
in the winter, but there is no doubt that
this could be easily accomplished. The
Times editorially assumes that such an
offer was not made without knowledge of
the conditions the imperial government is
prepared to accede. 1t says it is good
augury that the proposal emanates from
a company that has already given proofs
that it can conduct great ocean service
on sound business lines.
