Topeka, Kan, June 25.-The peo-
pies party state convention last
night completed the nomination of
state ticket. The convention was the
scene of lively contest all day over
the question of fusion with the demo-
Gratis. There were large number of
straight out populists in the con-
vention who wanted ticket nomi-
mated without reference to the wishes
of the democrats. While this element
was numerous enough to put up a
strong fight, it could not control the
policy of the convention. Fusion was
accordingly adopted.

PAYS TOUCHING TRIBUTE.
Former Filipino Leader Visits Mrs.
Mckinley and weeps mt Her
Husbands Tomb.

Canton, o., June 24.-Mrs. Mckinley
Monday afternoon received from Fell
ipe Buencamino, a former member of
Aguinaldo's cabinet and now a leader
Of the federal party in the Philippines,
the greetings and memorial of that
party, which he was commissioned to
personally carry to her. He came
from Washington, accompanied by
Frank L. Jeannini, of the war depart
ment, serving him as interpreter.
They were received by Mrs, Mckinley,
and later entertained by former Secre-
tary of State Judge Day, with whom
they visited West Lawn cemetery, and
afterward dined at his home. The
Filipino was affected by his meeting
with Mrs. Mckinley, whom he after
ward described as fine model for
"Doloresa," and tears streamed down
his cheeks as he addressed her.
The address contained reference to
the distress which the federal party
of the Philippines felt at the assas-
sination of President Mckinley. 1t
stated that he was the protector of the
Filipinos, and that the federal party
was honored in being allowed to tell
the widow of the decea sed president of
its esteem for him. Mrs. Mckinley
was assured of the love of 100000
Filipino Christians.
At the cemetery the visitors were
admitted to the vault in which rest
the remains of the late president, and
Gen. Buencamino, as he silently looked
upon the casket again wept. They
also visited the site on which it is
proposed to erect the Mckinley monu-
ment, and the family burial lot for
the McKinleys.
NJ. Buencamino, before he left for
Washington, said he would remain at
the capital until after the vote on the
Philippine bill, when he would go to
New York to work on behalf of plan
to colonize the Philippines with people
from some of the crowded districts OF
the United States. He said he hoped
to interest Mayor Low in plan to
send 1000 of the people out of the
1000 on every square mile in New
York to occupy and develop the 90.
100000 acres of land owned by the
government in the archipelago.

THE COAL STRIKE.
synopsis of an Address Issued to
the Public by President
Mitchell.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 23.-Presi-
dent John Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers of America, has issued an
address to the public for publication
In the newspapers this morning. 1t is
partly a reply to the letters of the
operators declining to accede to the de-
mands of the union, which were pub
ished about ten days ago. Briefly
summarized, the address says that
every possible means was resorted to
in the effort to prevent the strike,
claims that the cost of living has in
creased to the point where the miner
was compelled to ask for higher wages.
denies the allegations of the operators
that the productive capacity of the
mine workers has fallen off, but, on the
other hand, has increased; quotes Off
cial figures to substantiate the conten-
tion that the employers can pay higher
wages without increasing the cost of
coal to the consumer, asserts that the
coal-carrying railroads, which control
about S5 per cent. of the mines, absorb
the profits of their coal companies by
charging exorbitant freight rates;
claims that ton at the mines means
anywhere from 2,740 to $3.50 pounds
instead of 2,240, and says that more
men are killed and injured in the an
thracite mines of Pennsylvania annu-
ally than were killed or wounded during
the Spanish-American war. The ad-
dress also says that in the event the
union is crushed, which, it adds, is not
likely, new organization would rise

questions in dispute.
Pittsburg, Pa, June 23.-Forty war
rants, issued by the burgess of Leech-
burg, where the miners are striking,
are out, for as many persons, 81 of
whom are the wives, daughters and
sweethearts of the striking miners.
The women have been following the
nonunion men to and from their work
and making matters unpleasant for
the new workers. The prison capacity
of the borough has been exhausted,
and the majority of the 40 who are al
legged to have violated an ordinance
are at large. They insist upon paying
no fines, under advice of the leaders,
and accept the Jail sentence. John
Shoemaker insisted on a carriage to
convey his wife and their four chill
dren to the Jail. This party nearly
filled the Jail. Ada Vogel, girl of 1e
years, was also taken to the lookup.

FLAWS IN THE BILL.
House Conferees on Isthmian Canal
Bill Find Errors In tho Senate's
Amend menf,

Washington, June 25.-When the
conferees on the isthmian canal bill
GO into the merits of the situation it
is expected that the house conferees
will point out u number of incongrui-
ties which are said to exist in the SEN
ate amendment. For instance, the
senate provision refers to a canal
from the Caribbean sea to the Pa
cific ocean, whereas the westerly out
let is said to be on the Gulf of Pana-
ma, an indentation over 100 miles
back from the Pacific ocean, running
from headland to headland.
In another provision of the amend
ment reference is made to canal
from shore to shore. This is said to
leave out of account the fact that the
canal should embrace not only the
cut from shore to shore, but also the
three marine miles from either end,
which by international usage come
under same jurisdiction as the shore
section. The house conferees will
point out these provisions as showing
looseness of construction in the sem
ate amendment, inconsistent with the
magnitude of the undertaking. IF the
senate amendment ultimately pre-
walls, an effort will be made to cor
rect these features.

~HE work of the national house

There is great deal of difference
between public talking and actual de-
batting. The difference is well defined
between genuine discussion of public
measures and talking for talks sake,
in order to be prepared for political
campaign. The statesmen of all par

congress, weeks and months before
the beginning of work on the hustings.

Explosion Caused by Neglect.

Coal Creek, Tenn, June 25.-The
coroner's jury which has investigated
into the cause of the Fraterville mine
explosion of May 10 has reached n
verdict. The finding is against the
Coal Creek Coal Co. officials, owners
of the mine, and against the state
mine Inspector, II. A. Shifiett. The
jury finds that the men and boys in
the mine ''came To their deaths from
an explosion in said mine, which ex-
plosion was caused by gas or coal
dust or both combined, and further
agree that the said explosion was
caused by neglect of the mine officers

KING EDWARD ILL.
Operation Was Performed and
an Abscess Opened.
Coronation indefinitely Postponed
Kings Physicfans state that HIS
Strength IL Maintained, but
tho Danger Point Is
Not Yet Passed.

London, June 25.-The coronation
has been indefinitely postponed be-
cause of the illness OF King Edward.
1t Is officially announced that the
king is suffering from perityphlitfs
and underwent an operation at p. m.
Tuesday.
His majesty, under ordinary condi-
lions, was not looked upon as a good
subject for operations, and though
the king passed successfully through
the ordeal 1t is believed that four
or five weeks must elapse before he
will be able to undergo the arduous
labors of the coronation ceremonial.
The operation was performed by
Sir Frederick Treves, and the treat
ment was borne well, his majesty re-
covering consciousness without any
Ill effect. No complications attend
ed the operation. A large abscess was
found and evacuated.
The following bulletin was issued
at 1l:1o p. m:
"The kings condition is as good as
could be expected after so serious
an operation. His strength is main
tanned, there is less pain and his ma
jesty has taken a little nourishment.
'It will be some days before it will
be possible to say that King Edward
is out of danger"
King Edward is in a room facing
the beautiful gardens of Buckingham
palace and far from the street and
the crowd. If last nights progress
is maintained he will probably tide
over the effects of his severe opera
ton, which has successfully removed
the local trouble. But should any
complication occur, such as blood
poisoning, it is feared his physical
and nervous condition would prove
unequal to the strain involved. There
Is consequently intense anxiety as to
the outcome. The kings doctors be-
lieve that his majesty would have
been dead before now except for the
operation.
His condition became so alarming
on Monday night that at one time it
was feared death might ensue before
the surgeons knife could afford him
relief. Intense swelling of the ex-
tremities, accompanied by alarming
symptoms of modification, constitut-
ed the emergency which demanded an
immediate operation. To the last the
king tried to avoid this, and he was
willing to be carried to the abbey
for the coronation ceremony in order
that it should occur as arranged. At
an early hour, however, the royal pa
tient was prepared for the operation.
Shortly before 2 o'clock his majesty
was moved from his couch to the
operating table and the anesthetic
was administered. Sir Frederick
Treves made the incision near the
patients groin and carried it up
wards, with an outward slant, for
nearly four inches. The obstruction
was removed and tubing was placed
In the affected intestine.

STILL ON GUARD.
Militia Watching the Mills Mt Pater-
son, N. j., with Orders to shoot
IL Mob Appears.

Paterson, n. j., June 24.-There is
no disorder here, though the streets
are filed with curious people from
other places, who come to see the mil
itia at their posts.
The militia is still on guard at the
mills and some men of the details are
stationed at the upper windows of
each place, armed with rifles. The
general orders are to shoot to kill if
"a mob appears. The weavers are di-
vided into two sections, one portion
fayoring going to work regardless of
existing conditions. Just about half,
however, are talking in a different
vein. They object to working under
the protection of soldiers. 1t is hard
t0'tell to which counsel the great body
of the workers will listen.
1t is pretty certain that should the
decision be for a general stoppage of
work until the troops depart the shut
down will be long and protracted.
1t is estimated that 30 per cent. of
the employees of the silk mills for
whom looms were ready Monday

strike of the silk workers has been or

presidents have performed the func.


tions of the Office in later years. Dur
ing the administration of President
Hayes the vice president was seldom
in Washington, and rarely presided
over the senate, his work being done
by the vice president pro tempore.
The Office of vice president is n
thankless one, and the incumbent
constantly feels that he is nobody,
waiting for contingency which may
make him somebody. The senator's
do not consult the vice president
about any legislation whatever.
They do not regard him as one of
their number, and he is without in
fluence, unless there happens a tia
vote, in which case the vice president
casts the deciding vote.
The vice president pro tempore. how
ever, is in touch with all legislation, be-
cause he is a senator and is chosen to
preside without losing any of his in
huence in committees and on the floor
of the senate. Thus, while Senator
Frye is the chosen presiding officer, he is
still senator from a sovereign state,
and as such he commands respect in
all legislative affairs. He is consulted
on every measure of Importance and
his opinion is of great weight. So far
as actual influence on legislation is
concerned the pro tempore presiding
officer is a great factor, while the vice
president is not factor, except super
ficially.
The vice president cannot make
speech nor express an opinion on the
flosr of the senate. The constitution
only pemits him to be the presiding
officer. But the president pro tempore
may leave his place at any moment,
and as senator from sovereign state
he may take the floor and address the
senate in his own way, in his own time,
and impress his own individuality upon
current history, because the presiding
officer pro tempore is n somebody.
while the vice president is a nobody.
This is strange anomaly in our gov
ernment, and is without parallel in the
governments of the world.

course. He kept his pledge with Mr..

mony between them.
Garrett A. Hobart was popular at the
white house with President Mckinley,
and so was Vice President Roosevelt,
because Mr.. Mckinley was a big man
physically as well as intellectually, and
he had no idea that any vice president
expected to outlive him and get his
high office. Besides, he loved his, fell
