THE greatest of all the series of meet
ings and the most remarkap4e in many
characteristics that l ever attended was the
childrens meeting in -..oert Hall on the
afternoon of Saturday, March 5. Albert
Hall, the largest auditorium in the world
was completely filed. every seat being
taken from the ground floor to the fifth
gallery. The lord mayor of London pre-
sided. A chorus of 1.500 children made
sweet music, and an incident full of pathos
and hope was the reading of the Scriptures
from the raised type of the Bible by a
little blind lad Of twelve years
"A feature which will always be remem-
bered by those privileged to witness that
vast gathering of litlie ones devoted to the
work of pushing the Bible to the ends of
the earth was the cutting of huge birth
day cake. This weighed 100 pounds and it
was cut by her royal highness, the Princess
Christian. TIE pieces, together with 7CO
pounds in addition, were placed in souvenir
boxes and distributed to the persons pr sssnt.
Archbishop Canterbury, the head of the
Anglican Church. preached the sermon in
st. Paufs Cathedral on Sunday, March g.

Would Expel Agitators From State.

A dispatch from Denver says: Gov. Pea
body and Attorney General Miller held a
conference at which a program of deporta-
ton was decided upon for Trinidad. After
the meeting the governor wired Maj Hill to
prepare to deport all nonresident labor
leaders from the district.
A special train will be secured and the
leaders referred to will be taken outside
the state and left there. The names on the
deportation slate include those of Mother
Jones of Pennsylvania. w. r. Farley of
Alabama, william Wardjon of Iowa. Chris
Evans of Indiana and Edward Demolli
of Utah.
The local companies assert that If the
miner agttators are taken out of the dis
trict two-thirds of the strikers will return
to work The fact that they are non-resi-
dents will prevent them from securing in
functions or habeas corpus writs, the privi-
lege granted citizen of the state.

Unanimous Committee Reports.

The committee today called attention to
the unanimous report of the military at
fairs committee, respectively. Of the House
and Senate, as follows: Ee
Your committee has had under careful
consideration the report of the board OF
army officers appointed under the pro-
vision of section 80 of the army organiza-
ton act, approved February 2, 1901, giving
the results of Investigations of engineers
of the army to the availa bility of various
sites located in different portions of the
country; and accompanying these reports
were maps and surveys giving in more or
less detail the topography of these several
sites. geographic location. railroad connec-
lions and other features necessary to deter
mine their respective merits. .s.
1T has been suggested that Congress ap-
propriate lump sum of 81 100000 and leave
the selection of the camp sites to the War
Department In view of the fact that your
committee has had before it for examina-
ton House document No. SIS. Fifty-seventh
Congress. first session, containing surveys
and reports on numerous sites, with maps
and other data, ever since the publication
of said document in May. 1902, and in view
of the further fact that your committee
has had the benefit Of elaborate hearings on
all sites thus far proposed. 1t was deemed
proper for Congress to make the selection.
This is the line of action contemplated
by said section 80 above set forth the pro-
the Secretary of War shall report to Con-
gress the result of such examination and
surveys, and no contract for said sites
shall be made nor any obligation incurred
until Congress shall approve such selections
and appropriate the money therefor"

An Unsatisfactory Result.

The conference today leaves the matter
in an unsatisfactory state and certain. it
is said by the representatives, to result in
postponing the establishment of the mill
tary camps. The representatives are de-
termined not to yield to the department in
the selection of the sites and, as it is fear
ed the bill may not be passed at this ses-
sion IL there isua contest. the matter proba-
bly, will go over until next session

Bill Causes Friction Between
Congress and Executive.
GEN. CHAFFEE INSISTS
THAT DEPARTMENT SHALL
SELECT THE SITES.
Unsatisfactory Conference Of a Joint
Committee With Him This Morn
ing-Measure May Not Pass.

Another clash between Congress and an
executive department is at hand. Coming
Immediately on top of the irritation grow
ing out Of the publication Of the Bristow
report and the consequent strained reia-
tons existing between the House and the
Post Office Department. the new situation
Is likely to intensity the growing friction
which has been observed between the leg
islative and executive branches Of the gov
eminent.
This time 1t Is the War Department which
is involved There is a difference Of opin-
ion between General Chaffee and the milf
tary committees of the House and Senate
Both sides are firm in their contentious.
and the outcome will be watched with in
terest. i.s.
A joint committee Of senators and repre-
sentatives that visited the War Depart
ment today came back to the Capitol in a
very much vexed frame of mind. The COM
mfttee included Senators Quarles and
Spooner and Representatives Hull. Esch,
Moon, Needham, Slayden and Olmsted.
Military Camps.
The committee went to the War Depart
ment to consult with General Chaffee about
the bill for the establishment Of four addi-
tional permanent military camps in the
states of Texas. Wisconsin. Pennsylvania
and California. The bill has been reported
in identical terms from both the House and
Senate committees on military affairs. The
sites named in the bill are as follows:
In the vicinity Of Fort Sam Houston
Bexar county, in the state Of Texas, in
quantity not less than 1900 nor more than
IS, 600 acres
In the vicinity Of Camp Douglas, Juneau
and Monroe county, in the state Of Wis
consin. containing 10000 acres, more or
less
In the Conewago valley. in the counties
Of Lebanon. Dauphin and Lancaster in the
state Of Pennsylvania, containing $4,000
acres. more or less.
EncinaD in San Luis Obispo county. in the
state of California, containing $1,000 acres,
more or less.
When the committee called on Gen. Chat
fee today he insisted that the bill should
make appropriation and grant authority for
the establishment Of the military camps
but that the selection of the sites should be
left to the War Department. Aside from
the fact that he deemed 1t to be the depart
ment's function to choose the site he con-
tended that the department could get the
land much cheaper, as the owners of the
property desired might raise the price after
Congress had by law fixed the locality.
The congressman did not coincide in these
views. and insisted that it was the province
of Congress to name the localities from
among the sites surveyed and reported upon
by the War Department

the mothers attention was attracted
by the child's prattle. She glanced
about, beheld her babe squatting' be-

The mother was struck with horror
She attempted to scream to attract

With delivish persistency the thing
struck and hung for an instant. It's

it seemed, the deadly poison into the
