The General Assembly of Rhode Island
adjourned, after final fruitless effort to
elect a United States Senator to succeed
Wetmore.
President Murray of the Oklahoma
constitutional convention signed the new
fundamental law at Guthrie, April 10,
thus closing the work of the convention.
Most of the Republicans refused to sign
the document, and voted against it on the
final ballot.
William T. Tyndall, who represented
the Fourteenth Missouri District in the
last Congress, is said to have saved near
" $4,000 during his term, thereby es-
tablishing a record far ahead Of anything
previously known. He saw no sense in
spending money foolishly while in Wash
ington.
Speaker Cannon, on returning to New
York from Panama, was asked to make

cents. Here is a collection of beads, also
rare cost 80 cents. / guess that lets me

al committeeman from Nebraska, made it
known at Omaha that the next platform
of his party would not have a govern
ment railroad ownership plank, if the
convention were controlled by his intimate
friend and adviser, w. ]. Bryan. That
is, none would be inserted fayoring abso-
Lutte ownership. Dahlman thought that
the tariff would be again the dominant
issue.

The next bit of presidential favor for
Gen. Leonard Wood is said to be his APP
