modern conveniences, such as electric

kin, the best school band in the north
west, will play upon this occasion.

There are many of these cases, some in
which hundreds of thousands of dollars
are involved. Without this act it was
contended that these companies would
be unable to obtain authority for the
continuance of their work.
Mr. Joseph Button, the secretary of
the convention, was presented with a
gold watch by members of the body.
The presentation was made by Mr..
Alfred Thorn, of Norfolk. The secretary
responded in well-chOsen words.
The convention assembled at O. clock
and after speeches by Mr. Robertson,
led by DIR. Barnes, of Isle of Wight, the
convention sang "Auld Lang Syne," in
which all joined with great energy. AT
the conclusion of the singing the con-
vention was declared adjourned sine die.
Last night the members of the con-
vention were banqueted at Masonic Hall

CONVENTION ADJOURNED.

The constitutional convention, after
more than years session, completed its
work and adjourned sine die yesterday.
The effort of Mr. c. V. Meredith, of
Richmond, to continue the body in ex-
istence until January, 1903, failed by a
vote of 81 to 20. The debate on this
proposition was the most interesting
heard in the closing hours of the con-
ventiOn. Messrs. Dunnaway, Green,
Wise ,Wescott and Wysor opposed the
solution with great vigor. Mr.. Mere
dith defended it on the ground that it
was a prudent and wise precautiOn to
take in the event that the courts should
declare that any of the provisions of the
new instrument, or, indeed, that the
whole of it was invalid. The cOnyen-
ton, however, did not take that view Of
it, though it was supported by some of
the most prominent members of the
body. Mr.. Moore (rep.) Of Mont
gomery, frankly declared that he OPP
posed the suggestion because he did not
WISH lnt convention 10 DE Ill existence
in the event that the federal courts
should declare any part of the new con-
stitution imperative. Mr.. Moore's
speech was rigidly partisan, and he fire.
quently INDUCED in the hope that the
work of the convention would be made
of no avail by future action of the
federal Supreme Court.
1t is the impression of the ablest
democratic members of the con-
vention that the republicans will now
make up a case for the courts to test
the validity of the new constitution, es-
pecially the franchise clause aud the
right of the body to proclaim its
work. So long as the convention re-
manned in session the opposition did not
intend to make any move which could
have been thwarted by the adoption of
the Meredith resolution, which was yes
erday defeated.

step in extending the time in which

AS HAD been anticipated, revolu-
tiOnary movement is being planned in
Cuba and another MaceO will soon be in
the saddle. The individual who is now
threatening the peace of the island is a
negro leader known as Quintin Banderas,
who is melting an instruction because
he and his followers were not provided
for in the way of bounties for fighting
the Spaniards when Cuba belonged to
Spain. The out come of the trouble is diff
ficult to forecast Should President Palma
find himself unable to cope with this
negro insurrcectionist, and it is more than
probable he will be in such a position,
the United States will be compelled to
go to the aid of its protege and an ex-
cuse can then be easily found for taking
entire possession of the island. There
has been but little peace in Cuba for
many years. 4 chronic rebellion had
been in existence while Spain was the
nominal owner of the island. There is
no reason to believe more tranquil cOndi-
tons will follow under the administra-
ton of President Palma.

READ 1T IN HIS NEWSPAPER.

George Schaub, well known German
citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is a con-
strant reader ofthe Dayton Vokes-zeitung.
He knows that this paper aims to adver-
tise only the best in its columns, and
when he saw Chamberlain Pain Balm
advertised therein for lame back, he did
not hesitate in buying bottle of it for
his wife, who for eight weeks had slflier-
ed with the most terrible pains in her
back and could get no relief. He says:
"After using the Pain Balm for a few
days my wife said to me, Il feel as
though born anew, and before using
the entire contents of the bottle
the unbcarable pains had entirely
vanished and she could again take up
her household duties" He is very
thankful and hopes that all suffering
likewise will hear of her wonderful re-
covery. This valuable liniment is for
sale by Richard Gibson, druggist.

KING EDWARDS CONDITION.

King Edward has not by any means
passed the danger point, but every hour
of progress, however small, increases his
chances of life. The king partook of
food again last night, it is reported from
Buckingham Palace, and afterward was
allowed to smoke a cigar.
"The surgical operation was very
successful. | believe the king will
recover" said Sir Frederick Treves yes
terday afternoon to a doctor with whom
he was in consultation. ellis majesty
was reading a newspaper in bed yester-
day morning." said court lady to a
member ofthe diplomatic body yesterday.
Everything, indeed, points to the king
making really substantial progress"
Yesterday was bank holiday in Lon
don. 1t was the strangest holiday of its
kind LOndoners have ever known. The
city offices, the wholesale houses, and
the banks all closed, but the West End
was doing business as usual. 1t was like
a London Sunday with the shops open.
1t was a glorious day, with brilliant sun
shine and a refreshing breeze-an ideal
day for the great function which was so
sadly prevented. But everywhere there
was sigh of intense relief that their
king, the genuineness of whose popular
ity has received such touching and
powerful proof in the last few days, has
been snatched from the jaws of death.

ADvICES from Martinique give details
of the cruelty and selfshness displayed
by negro officials on that Inflated island
since the terrible disaster at st. Pierre
1t is said that the food supplies sent to
the island were mostly distributed to ne
groes and many white people were left to
starve. When the latter race made i'm
Fortunate requests for something for
themselves and little ones to eat, negro
officials, instead of relieving their dis
tress, sent them shoes or anything but
what was urgently needed The island
of Martinique is dominated by negroes
who outnumber the whites, and ii is an
ancient observation that whenever the
former find themselves in the majority
they are not slow to take advantage of
their position.

AFTER SINGING in unison "Auld
Lang Syne" the Virginia constitutional
convention adjourned sine die yesterday
afternoon, having been in session year
and fourteen days, and at a cost to the
State of $l75, 600. The new instrument
goes into effect July 10, and all State
officials who have not taken the oath OF
allegiance within ten days thereafter will
forfeit their positions The old obser-
walton to the effect that the world is
governed too much was never better
illustrated than in the case of the his
torical Virginia convention of l9Ol-l9o2.
1t is said that in the treaty Of peace be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain which ended the war of 1912 the
main issue which caused this country to
declare war against England was not
mentioned in the peace articles. 1t can
be truthfully said that many of the laws
which caused people to vote for con-
stitutiOnal convention were never touched
during the session, while some cOnsid-
cred were made worse than they were al
first.

Berlin, June 27.-Prominent German
medical authorities consider the tele-
graphic reports of the state of King
Edwards health too optimistic They
suppose his condition is incurable. The
Kaiser is prepared to leave for London
in case of worse news. Sympathy by
the German press and the public is
everywhere expressed.

the English and American mission build
ing at rien Ku Chud have been destroyed

UNsEEMLY CONDUCT.

Anyone who has mingled much with
the crowds in the streets of London
since the announcement of the coro-
nations pOstpOnement must have been
struck by the apparent forgetfulness of
the kings condition in the desire Of the
people to enjoy the holiday and see the
decorations.
1t may be too severe structure to call
il Indifference; yet such tendency GER
tainly is evident among the masses.
That many unreasonably felt aggrieyed
is shown by the fact that disturbances
have occurred in different parts of Great
Britain in consequence of the postpone
ment of local coronation festivities.
A crowd gathered in the streets Ct
Waterford last night and windows in the
house of the chairman of the council
were smashed, together with those of
other members of the town coronation
committee. Mounted police charged
the crowd.
Considerable rioting was INDUCED in
at Dunstabe. A protest meeting was
held and the crowd afterward proceeded
to the residence of the rector,
where amid much hooting windows
were smashed. A move then was made
to Chiltern Hills, where the great cor
onation bonfire was lighted contrary to
orders.
At Newton, Montgomeryshire, the
committee decided TO postpone all
festivities indefinitely. Several resi-
dents, being of the opinion that child
rem should not be disappointed Of their
promised tea, requested the chairman of
the district council to convene public
meeting to consider this. He refused.
When the chairman emerged from the
committee meeting he was hoOted by
large crowd and took refuge in an inn,
which was surrounded by hundreds of
hOoting men.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.

THERE Is some divergence in the opin-
ion expressed concerning the real con-
dition of King Edward. Some take an
optimistic view, while Others are less san
euine and fear his strength is gradually
but surely waning. The returning de-
sire for food, while regarded rs a good
omen by some, is looked upon with ap-
prehension by others, and attention is
called to the fact that when the late
President Garfield was found to be suf-
fering from pyemia he was craving food.
The return of pain in the kings case is
said to be ominous. The late dispatches
sent during the night were by no means
calculated to remove apprehension. If
ANYTHING could compensate King Ed
ward for the misfortune which has be-
fallen him it would be the testimonials Of
esteem for his personality that have been
called forth from all parts Of the civilized
world by his dangerous if not mortal i'll
ness. Even his irrecOncilable IRISH
subjects have felt the touch Of nature
which makes the whole world kin, and
many in the Emerald Isle perhaps for
the first time in history breathe
the prayer Good save the King?' There
must be large balance to the good in
the character of a man who can arouse
such universal sympathy.

Washington, d. c., June 81.
SENATE.

Immediately after the converting of
the Senate this morning there was passed
by Unanimous consent House joint
resolution appropriating 800, 900 for
the erection in Fort Greene Park, Brook
lyn, of a monument in memory of the
revolutionary soldiers and sailors who
lost their lives on English prison ships.
The Philippine civil government bill
as passed by the House last night, was
laid before the Senate. Upon motion Ct
Mr.. Lodge the Senate disagreed to the
amendments, asked for conference and
Mr.. Lodge, Mr. Allison, and Mr.. Cul-
berson were named as conferees.
A resolution was agreed to directing
the committee on territories to sit during
the recess to consider bills for the ad-
mission to statehood of the Territories Cf
New Mexico, Arizona, and Oklahoma.
The committee was authorized to call
for persons and papers and to administer
oaths.
Upon motion of Mr.. Plat Conn. the
Senate at |. is o'clock went into execu-
tive session.
At 1.2O O'Clock the legislative session
was resumed.
HOUSE.
When the House met today Mr.. Can
non, of Illinois, chairman of the com
mittee on appropriations asked that the
House disagree to the Senate amend
ments to the general deficiency bill, and
asked for a conference. The request was
granted and Mr.. Cannon, Mr.. Hemen-
way, and Mr.. Livingston were appoint
ed cOnferees. A message from the Sen
ate was received announcing that the
Senate had disagreed to the House
amendments to the Philippine civil gov
eminent bill. Mr.. Cooper, ofWisconsin,
chairman of the committee on insular
affairs, asked that the House insist on its
amendments and agree to the conference
asked for.
The motion was carried and Mr..
Cooper, Mr.. Payne, Mr.. Crumpacker,
Mr.. Jones, and Mr.. Maddox, were APP
pointed conferees on the part of the
House.
Mr.. Moon, angered because the
Speaker had refused to recognize him to
call up a bill that affected the Indian
Territory, objected to every request for
unanimous consent. He threatened to
make objection to every request for unan-
imous consent from now until the
close of the session. He made good his
threat during the morning hour today.
The House finally took up the con-
tested election case of Morton vs.. But
Ter, from the 18th Missouri district.
