 A considerable faction of the cen trists. particularly the industrial and commercial representatives decided for tactical reasons to follow the lead of the lower House and pass the bill un- changed.

It was proposed virtually to abolish the death penalty except where cir eumstances justify the proclamation of martial law. such as armed uprisings where the authorities are given a free hand to summon drum head courts martial and use the firing squad
 This rejection of the first fruits of the legislation of the lower House has revived the old demand for the aboii- ton of the council of the empire as a wall between the emperor and the peo- pie.

It is the purpose of the com pany to establish eight or ten mills throughout the South. The adVaatages of Montgomery have been rec Sgnized in the selection of this city as the To- cation of the first of these plants
 The rlant here will not be for experi- ment. The making of paper from cot ton stalks has passed that stage. Mir Vandiyer, who had been offered a di- rectorship in the company. went to At lanta Friday afternoon to investigate the resources of the company, to make a thorough inquiry into the possibilities of the project and .If he was satisfied that the proposition was iegitimate in every respect to get the first plant for Montgomery. His telegram which was sent at the re- ouest of a representative of The Ad- vertiser, who had a talk with him Thursday, tells the whole story.
 The big paper mills are now located in New England, in New York and in fhe far Northwest where wood pulp is used for the purpose. Sometime ago experiments with the cotton stalk were begun with a view to getting for the South a part of the immense revenue derived from the manufacture of pa Der. The experiments were success ful. It was clearly demonstrated that inc paper manufactured from this hIth- erto useless byproduct was of smooth texture and excellent for the ordinary uses.

 Geneva, July 7-The final text of the revised Red Cross convention whereby practically all the nations of the civ- iIized world agree upon rules in the matter of the treatment of the sick. wounded and dead, and nurses in time of war, shows a number of changes in the antiquated convention of 1884
 The protocol of this new convention which was signed last night by Will liam c. Cary Sanger, who was Assist ant Secretary of War under Secretary Root: Rear Admiral Spsrry, President of the Naval War College; Gen. George B. Davis. Judge Advocate General of the American Army, and General Reilly, Surgeon General of the American Army, sII acting in behalf of the United States, gives until December 31, 1906. for the ratification of the convention by the governments concerned, The main fea- lures of the new treaty are as follows:
 Chapter one Is devoted to the wound ed and eick. Each belligerent is re- uuired to respect and care for sick and wounded officers, soldiers and others Attached oficialIy to the enemy's army who fall into its hands. Should one belligerent be compelled to abandon siek and wounded on the field and leave members of the hospital corps and ma terial for their care. such sick and wounded be, prisoners of the enemy, subject to the stipulations made by the belliRerents for the exchange of pris- pners after each engagement.
 The final occupant of the field shall adopt measures to ind all wounded and 6ead and to protect them against pil- laRe before the final disposal of the bodies by burial or incineration. The occupant of the field Is charged with a scrupulous examination of the bodies of the enemy.

 The directorate is composed largely of men of the standing of Mir Vandlver living throughout the cotton belt.
 MT. Jordan has already announced that he will not retire from his activ- ity in the interest of the Cotton Asso- ciation. Indeed, he thinks the new corporation will aid the farmers so much that 1t will be help to the Cot ton Association
