FRIDAY EVENING. MAY 5, 1903.

WHEN THE conference, now IN session
at Hot Springs, between Senators AID
rich. Allison, Plat, of Connecticut, and
SDooner completes its labOrs, it is de-
clared by Treasury officials that their
nroposed financial bill, to be submitted
to Congress next winter, will suggest
nothing not outlined in the Aldrich
bill abandoned last session. 1t IS also
limited that tariff matters may engage
the attention of the conferees. Prior to
the departure of the four Senators for
Hot Springs each had conference with
Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, and re-
ceiyed from that official his recommend
atoms and ideas as to the bill to meet
the financial needs of the country. AT
these conferences Secretary Shaw ar
gued strongly against any startling
financial reforms or innovations beyond
those proposed in the Aldrich bill.
Mr.. Shaw still believes that this bill, as
amended in the Senate before it was
abandoned on account Of the flibuster-
ing opposition to it, is sufficient to meet
the financial needs. Mr.. Shaw and Mr..
Aldrich are both against anything like a
general revision of the currency system
o. the United States, and Treasury
officials say that d canvass made last
winter showed enough prominent re-
publican Senators and Representatives
opposed to revision based upon a scheme
of asset banking to make it impossible
to pass bill drawn upon the lines OF
the Fowler bill, the Pugsley bill or any
of the other asset banking measures in
troduced in the House last winter. 1t
i, understood in administration circles
that the Hot Springs conference is CIV
ing perhaps more attention to the tariff
than to the financial bill.

PHILADELPHIA, May S.-Little Mamie
Campion is dead, victim of the gratifica-
ton of girlish ambition. Friday after
noon, returning from school, she ecliPsed
all her companions in jumping the
rope :" Wednesday night she died in the
agony of spinal meningitis. Mamie
Campion is the second sacrifice to the
skipping-rope craze within fortnight.
A week ago last Tuesday Edith G. Mol
Ian, Is years old, of 1910 Moyamensing
avenue, succumbed to exhaustion after
she had jumped for nearly ten minutes
without cessation. Her heart was weak
and she died in few hours.

AT THE conference in Detroit, Mich.
of the National Congress Of Mothers,
Florence Kelley, of New York, in re-
port from the committee on child labor,
said "the State of Pennsylvania-in par
ticular the cities of Philadelphia and
Scranton-is the worst in the union In
this regard" But the manufacturers OF
New England and Pennsylvania are en-
gagged at this very time in abusing
southern manufacturers for employing
child labor, and are doing their utmost
to have laws passed tOpreventthe employ
ment of children in manufactures. In
her report of the employment OF children
on the streets, such as newsbOys and
bootbacks of large cities, Mrs. Kelley
said these little folks were practically
outlaws, so far as any assistance they re-
ceived from newsboys' and bootblacks
homes was concerned. These institu-
tons, she said, devoted much time to
looking after the transient foreign ele-
ment. and the newsboys, bootblacks
and telegraph messengers only found re-
lief in the juvenile courts and Catholic
nrOtectOratPs.

PROTOCOL SIGNED.

Shortly before 7 o'clock yesterday
evening the concluding scene in the
Venezuelan negotiations was enacted at
the British embassy in Washington in
the presence of Herbert w. Bowen,
Venezuea's plenipotentiary; Signor
Mayor des Planches, the Italian ambass-
ador; Sir Michael II. Herbert, the
British ambassador; Baron Speck Won
Sternberg, the German representative,
and Herbert G. Dering, secretary OF the
British embassy. Mr.. Bowen first sign
ed. with the three foreign representatives,
separate protocols for reference to the
Hague tribunal of the question OF pref
erential treatment for the blockading
powers in the payment OF their claims
against Venezuela, and Immediately
afterward there were signed the cOnyen-
tions providing for the settlement OF the
allies claims by the several commissions
which are to meet at Caracas this sum
mer. Mr.. Bowen almost Immediately
cabled to President Cnstro the brief an
nouncement: Last protocol signed. "
All of the three sets of The Hague pro-
tocol are in the English language. Mr..
Bowen will today send copies of the pro-
tocols TO the various peace powers and
request their adherence to ii. He ex-
poets to sail for Caracas from New York
May l6. The striking feature of The
Hague protocol is the concluding clause
of Article 1, which provides that in case
The Hague decides adversely to the
blockading powers contention for pref
erential treatment, the manner OF pay
ment of the other creditor nations shall
be such "that no power shall obtain pre-
ferential treatment

WITHOUT seeing all the imperfections
in ex-President Cleveland so patent to
Mr.. w. J. Bryan and Others who became
incensed at him in 1896, it may be in
order to observe that no matter how able
or acceptable a man may be to political
organization, a large percentage OF the
members of all parties in this country
naturally finch when any one poses as
a candidate for third term as President.
The late President Grant wanted third
term. and some of his misguided friends
attempted to foist him upon the country
for twelve instead of eight years. His
supporters saw the blunder after one or
two ballots had been taken, but toolishly
kept the ex-President's name before the
convention without gaining a single
convert. He received a certain num-
Der of the first ballot and
the same number on those which
followed without losing or gaining
The absurdity of the procedure on
the part of his friends became so pro-
nounced that they were eventually glad
t. rid themselves of their burden and
vote for somebody who could receive the
nomination. The traditional law of the
land was upheld Notwithstanding the
many reasons urged by Grants friends
why his case should be made an excep-
ton. The examplesetby George Wash
ington nearly a hundred years before
had had its effect. 1t still has. Mr..
Clevelands friends may be animated by
good motives, but their action is i'll
advised and the miscarriage Of their
movement is inevitable. We have
nothing in this article to urge against
the ex-President save the unwritten law
of the land.

In AN Illinois town few days ago one
negro was accused of an act Of violence,
and a white mob gathered and attacked
a whole negro settlement with guns and
clubs and drove away all the negroes
who were not too badly injured to flee.
Still more recently mob Of white-caps
in Indiana attacked three white women
and a negro, and among other things
fiogged some of their victims with barbed
wire. Northern people and papers make
so much of acts of violence toward col
ored people in theSouth that it is neces-
sary to draw special attention to these
not very infrequent occurrences in the
North.

expectations of the Montgomery rooters,
and 1t is said they are wild with JOY. The
height of theii ambition, however, Is to
give Birmingham a genuine old-fashioned
drubbing of the first water and from
present indications they are going to the
park with the full intention of doing so
this afternoon On the other hand, the
Birmingham rooters will anxiously hang
around the telegraph instrument waiting
reports from the game.
O'Briens Opera house has been fitted
up for receiving a detailed report of the
game, and the various plays will be
called from the stage by Colonel circuit,
one of the best-known telegraph opera
tors in Birmingham.

the game this afternoon, though Frank
Smith will be put in If Deaver is not in
