state legislatures, it will be another year at
the least before the consent of the necessary
three-fourths can be obtained. OF the
forty-fve states the legislatures Of thirty
two of the thirty-six necessary for ratiiica-
ton will not meet again until January.
1908, and after that not again until jan
uary, 1905. Five others will meet then and
also in the January following. Upon the
former class of states will depend the sue
cess of the movement If the change is to
be effected in comfortable season for the
next Inauguration, which will occur in the
spring of 1905. 1t is highly improbable that,
failing of action by Congress at this ses-
sion, or early enough in the next to submit
the proposition to the legislatures meeting
in January, 1908. the matter can be rushed
through the legislatures of this same class
in the winter of 1905. 1t is at any rate far
safer to work on the basis of immediate
action by the House and the submission of
the question in January next to the legis-
latures of the thirty-seven states then in
session The consent of thirty-sx states is
required for the adoption Of the amend
ment. so that the strongest appeal must be
made to next winters sittings. Should
enough of these fail or refuse to ratify to
bring the number below the requisite point,
been given by the three states whose legis-
latures meet next autumn to insure sue
cess, and if that should not be the case it
will be necessary to wait for the one state
whose legislature will next assemble in De-
cember, 1908, Virginia, the four whose
sessions are held in the winter or spring of
1904. The wisdom Of striking out definitely
for the assent of the legislatures which
meet next autumn and winter is apparent.
By securing action from the House at this
session 1t will be possible so to organize
the propaganda that a united, national APP
peal can be made in January to the thirty
seven states then holding legislative SEES
sions and so arouse the national sentiment
from one end of the country to the other
The influence of example is infectious and
it is not to be doubted that if the campaign
is so managed as to develop to this point
the notifications will be secured without
difficulty.

Cecil Rhodes Dying Lament.

$50 little done, so much to do Cecil
Rhodes was under fifty, and the foremost
Epglishman of action of his day. His ge-
Mus was of the sort not allied TO modesty
He knew his powers. He depended upon
nobody He both MANNED and executed. 1t
must have been Il moment of exquisite an
guish therefore which wrung from so sturdy
a spirit an exclamation of such despair.
HIS great schemes in their fulness rose be-
fore his dying eyes, and no figure appeared
on the horizon capable as he thought of
carrying them forward. At that moment
what would he not have given for an extern
sion of his lease of life a quarter of d
century.
And yet he would have gone a. seventy
five quite as reluctantly. Schemes of tho
dimensions of his grow all the time. And
had he been spared his powers would have
grown with them. And so he would have
surveyed the scene of that day with the
eyes of that day. Nothing would have ap-
peared to him completed. The prospect
would simply have heightened and his enor-
nous self confidence would have made him
still the one man necessary. The exclama
ton of the man of forty-nine would have
been that of the veteran of seventy-fiye
so little done, SO much to do
The world will take a different view of
the present situation. 1t will see that q
great deal has been done in South Africa,
and it will credit Cecil Rhodes with much
OF it. He laid broad foundations, and they
will be utilized for the rearing of huge
structure. The probability is that his dream

vslnced. And the guiding spirit of it all will
still be that of Cecil Rhodes.

Situation in the Transvaal,
From the indianapolis News.

There really seems to be more in the
present than in previous negotiations be-
tween Great Britain and the Beers. 1t If
be possible for the two to agree on terms
it will be better for both. There Is no
doubt that If peace comes to the Trans
vaal after an honorable adjustment, the
Briton of the future will have more respect
for the Boer than If peace came with abso-
lutte conquest. Certain things Great Brit
ain must demand for the future. no matter
how gallant the Beers may be or how much
of the yorld's admiratio nthey have Eng
land must rule in the Transvaal, and to
that end she must retain power. What
minor concessions she can make is ques-
ton for craftsmanship 1t is to be hoped
that the Beers are as good statesmen as
they are fight ers, and will be willing to con-
cede the things necessary for supremacy in
return for assured peace and liberty and
protection.

KING sNuBRED BY AMERICANS
Naval Apprentices Refuse to Cheer
Victor of ItaIy


New York, June 12.-That the crew
of the United States cruiser Chicago
got an opportunity to snub King Vic
tor Emmanuel. of Italy, in order tc
show him just what they thought of
the arrest OF four of their officers In
Venice, and took full advantage of 1t,
is the story brought home by four APP
prentice boys from the Chicago, brought
here for discharge on the steamer
Lain. The story is best told by Will
liam Borchard. one of the arrivals. who
was on shore-leave at the time and was
an eyewitness to the occurrence:
Our boys got a pretty rough deal,
you know, and we were all feeling
pretty sore about 1t. We could not
go ashore and whip all the dagoes, but
we got a chance at the king before wa
expected it. The royal yacht was an
chored near the Illinois and the Chi
cago, and two days after the arrest
of our boys the king left Venice When
the yacht started to leave we were all
lined up on deck, and Capt Dayton
gave orders for three cheers. The same
orders We're given on the Illinois, and
as the yacht passed her the men there
yelled good and loud. 1 don't know
whether it was by impulse or not, but
when the king and his yacht passed
us we all just kept still. The signal
was given to yell three or four times
but every man on board kept as ouiee
as mouse and the king passed by in
silence. Well, the captain he was
mad, and he told us all so in good, plain
language"

HIS SIMON LEGREE TOO FIERCE.
Actors RebeIed at the Violence of John
L. Sullvan's "UncIe Tom"

Waterbury, Conn.,, June 12.-John L..
Sullivans realism on the stage is re-
sponsible for the wreck of his Uncle
Toms Cabin company in this city.
Sullivan as Simon Legree used his
blacksnake whip so wildly that the ne
gro actors under him rebelled. Sulli-
true art in acting.
THE nearer you get to the real thing
in acting, the more of an artist you
are" he said. and he dashed the mock
slaves on the stage till their backs were
patchwork.
"Massa John, you'se too pow'ful,"
said Uncle Tom in a rebellious stage
whisper at the last performance, after
Sullivan had dashed his back with more
than usual vigor. The gallery gods
yelled in delight and Sullivan dashed
some more. The result was strike,
wrecked company and a miscellaneous
collection of stage settings loaded for
shipment to New York. The freight
was not paid and the railroad company
dumped the scenery and trunks on the
track and left them there The ne
groes carried off all they could, includ-
ing souvenirs of some of Sullivan's
fights and SIS dress belonging to Topsy.
Detectives We're called to the pugilist's
aid, and found William Fairfax, Will
lam Camsel and George Harris, who are
now locked up in this city. Sullivan
will be asked to come to Waterbury to

WAR OFFICE LEAKAGE.
If Miles is Guilty, He Has Very clev-
erly Covered His Tracks.


Washington, June 12.-By order of
President Roosevelt the manner in
which certain papers in the Arnold case
We're extracted from the war depart
ment files and turned over to Senator
CulberSon for use in the senate is still
under investigation. AS yet no proof
has been found that General Miles had
anything to do with the surreptitious
use of the documents.
The president and Secretary Root
take the ground that they have no
right to suspect General Miles or any
other officer of such conduct, but that
they have a right to learn if they can
the identity of the guilty person, no
matter who he is. Senator Culberson,
when asked the direct question if Gen
eral Miles had anything to do with the
matter, directly or indirectly, declined
to answer.
1t is quite apparent to all wellin-
formed observers that another Miles
row is fast developing. A conserva
tive republican senator today said;
I'VE have not the slightest doubt that
General Miles has been feeding all sorts
of information into the democratic fun
mel here at the senate. But l for one do
not believe the administration will be
able to prove 1t on him."
