Chicago. March 14.-Arrows of crit
iciSm against the Yates administra-
tion were boldly shot last night by
Lawrence y. Sherman, speaker of the
house of representatives at a meet
ing held at Chicago Commons.
How long will the charitable and
educational institutions belonging to
the state of Illinois be used for mere
paws and footballs in the game of
politics? One-third of the taxes that
are spent to maintain them is lost
and wasted because of inefficient
service"
This question was asked and this
statement made by Speaker Lawrence
y. Sherman in his address on "Legis-
lafive Impossibilities. He made use
of the little annecdote of the bootiack
thrown among lot of eats and the
way one could tell by the howl which
cat was hit. and he added:
"If any political cat in Illinois
squalls / propose to hit him again.
This called forth loud burst of
appreciative laughter from the au-
dience.

ILLINOIS PARTY IS DISAPPOINTED
THROUGH MISSENT MESSAGE.

Washington, March 14.-After over
coming Il host of obstacles in the way
of delayed trains and disarranged
schedules and after placating the
Pullman company in the matter of a
Washington stopover the Illinois par
ty from the Charleston exposition ar
rived at the capitol yesterday. Only
II of the party met President Roose-
Welt. Fifty other men and women of
the prairie state, who would have
been glad to grasp the hand of the
nations executive. were wandering
through the corridors of the capitol
or riding up to the top of the Wash
ington monument while il all hap
pened.
\ missent telegram which never
reached Gov. Yates party en- route
was the cause of the failure of the
great majority of the party to fulfill
their expectations of being presented
at the white house. and only two of
the governors colonies were on hand

confidently expected word from the
president about proposed audience.
The president meanwhile, not know
ing that a telegram he had sent to
Yates had miscarried. was expecting
the party at the white house, and
thus matters stood at cross purposes.
The Illinois delegation assembled
i'm the waiting room of the railroad
lstatioT to learn what the program
for the day should be, and after =
wait of about - minutes Gov. Yates
made a little speech. He said:
There is no set program for the day

Under the guise of general princi-
pies scathing structures upon the
present methods of administration of
.state asylums and institutions were
passed, the park systems and the
manner of distributing taxes also
coming in for their share of hard
knocks. Elaborately cloaking his
words in manner calculated to di-
vest them of all personality, Speaker
Sherman voiced his antagonism to
the Yates faction, pledging himself to
ceaseless warfare through the me-
dunn of the story of the bootiack re-
ferred to. The condition of the TO-
600 unfortunates that are housed in
the state institutions and their
treatment at the hands of the attend
ants who have been placed on the
salary rolls during the present adj
ministration formed the subject of
another attack. in which the antag-
onist of Yates methods and Yates
government asked a significant ques-

number of the party scattered all
over the city Immediately. leaving
their baggage in the special train.
Some went to luncheon at nearby
hotels; others took the first trains
for Arlington cemetery and Mount
Vernon. and dozens of them started
at once for the capitol building to
get look at congress in session, and
the other sights of the great pile.
Gov. Yates had scarcely arrived
and registered at the Arlington when
a telephone message inquiring for
him came from the presidents secre-
tary. Then for the first time the
governor learned that President
Roosevelt had wired him that he
would meet the Illinois party, and
when he asked If il was too late then
TO keep the appointment he was told
that the president was still at liberty
and would receive the party i'm the
east room at 2:3O o'clock. Then be-
CANA scurrying to find as many mem
bers of the party as possible for the
audience. but most of them. acting
under the misapprehension that
there would be no visit to the white
house, had scattered far and wide.
OF all his glittering staff of colonels
the governor was able to reach but
two, Col. Buckingham of DanviJle and
Col. Lyon of Waukegan. These men,
with their wives, were still in the ho-
tel. and half a dozen other Illinois
folks were found, When this party
arrived at the white house it found
President Roosevelt awaiting it in
the east room. The president greet
ed GOV. Yates most cordially. and af-
ter the governor had rendered his
apology for the unfortunate error of
the telegraph company which had
kept the president waiting he pre-
scented each member of the party.

There was no delight among the
other so members of the Illinois par

contrary, there were sorrow and
tears.

It then states that these and other grievances were patiently borne until they reached the point at which forbearance ceased to be virtue" It declares that the Texans then took up arms in defense of the national Constitution that is, the Constitution of Mexico-but that now the necessity of preservation decrees an eternal political separation It closes by committing the issue to the decision of the Supreme Arbiter of the destinies of nations"
 The first name signed is that of Rich ard Ellis, the president of the gather ing. Then follow the names of fifty-one others who were present Sam Houst ton was one of these. Last come the names of six others who were elected dele gates, but were not present, and signed later Nearly all of the fifty-eight names are now perpetuated as the names of counties on the map of Texas.
 After all, however, one cannot help feeling that this declaration of inde- pendence was largely matter of form Practcally speaking the connection With the mother country had already been severed, There had been some months of actual fighting. The battles of Conception, Goliad and Gonzales had already been fought. San Antonio had already been captured by the Tax ans and recaptured by the Mexicans.

against Mexico and yet seemed to have no other idea than that of remaining a portion of Mexico. In November of the preceding year gathering known as the general consultation had been held at San Felipe. The name consultation was applied to this because the MeXi- cans were prejudiced against "conven- tions.' This one fact shows how anX- ious the Texans were to retain the fa- vor of Mexico. The consultation even appointed a temporary governor and council but it yet recognized the au- thority of Mexico Provision was made for another council to meet the 1st of March of the next year. On February an election was held and fiftv-eieht were chosen as delegates to that gath ering.

 The natural soil in New Haven being unsuited to the well doing of the begonia I would recommend that at least IS inches be removed and replaced good loam and half thoroughly decom- posed manure.

 Keep the subsoil moist and the roots will go down whereas if they only re- ceive a light sprinking each evening the roots will remain near the surface in search of moisture. and ultimately suffer from the effect of the powerful sun.

At the very time the convention was in session Travis, Bowie, Crockett and their brave followers were making their last heroic stand at the Alamo. On Sunday, March G. the last letter writ ten by Travis was received. When the president read the message one mem Der sprang to his feet and moved that the members of the convention arm themselves and march immediately to the Alamo to relieve Travis. Sam Houston opposed this. He claimed that the first duty of the convention was to establish a government and a constitu- tion. He offered to collect troops him self and march to the relief
 This he did, but all too late On the night of the very day when they were discussing it-Sunday, March 6, 1S36-- the final attack was made. All the world knows the result.
