TEXAS TO VOTE ON AMENDMENTS

Austin, Texas, July 1S.-At a general
election tomorrow several proposed
amendments to the Constitution of
Texas will be submitted to the voters
of the state for their adoption or re-
lection. The amendment of greatest
importance is one authorizing improve
ment districts to issue bonds by a
majority vote instead of two-thirds as
at present, and permitting bonds to be
issued for the construction of public
warehouses. Another amendment pro.
poses to empower the legislature to
prescribe salaries for state, county
district and precinct officers, abolish

The Sofia correspondent of the
Times, commenting on the desperate
situation in Bulgaria, says:
Despite thirty-five years of aston
ishing progress, surrounded by enc
mics, her position always has been
more critical than her statesmen have
been willing to admit, and the fatal
mistake of believing that Russia would
protect her against the consequences
of misadventure now is manifest
Russia has played a double role.
Having sanctioned the unity of the
Bulgarian race at San Stefano, she
now proposes it's dismemberment and
is even suspected of having instigated
the advance of the Turkish Army.
Should Europe consent to such dis
memberment Macedonia will again be-
come the scene of prolonged racial
struggle and a danger to European
peace"

Washington, July 1S.-Administra-
ton officials last night confessed their
embarrassment and difficulty in obtain
ing trustworthy information at long
range about Mexican politics and its
ephemeral changes. The same officials
let it be known incidentally that the
demonstrations recently in Mexico
City against Americans were fomentl
edland manufactured by a small group
of Mexicans who were trying to force
the United States to recognize the
Huerta government. Equally artificial,
they believe, were a number of recent
happenings in the Mexican capital, and
it was suggested that some of the Eu-
ropean members of the diplomatic
| corps in Mexico City had been led,
through the anti-American manifesto
tions, to believe that the chaotic con-
ditions in the republic are results of
the Washington governments failure
to extend recognition to the Huerta
regime.
Supported by letters from unofficial
sources in Mexico, Washington off,
cials are inclined to treat the informa-
tion transmitted by some of the Mexi-
co City diplomats to their governments
as in the nature of impressions" and
not reports of the real and underlying
conditions of Mexican affairs.
President Wilson and his cabinet
have several close friends in Mexico

States Attorneys Will Resist Effort

States Attorneys Will Resist Efforts.
Jackson, Miss, July 1S.-An effort
will be made to secure bail for c. c.
Smith. deposed chairman of the peni-
tentiary board of trustees, under SEN
tence to serve a five year term for
grating.
Appeal has been made to the Su-
preme Court, but Smiths case cannot
be reviewed until the October term,
and it will probably be close to the
Christmas holidays before a decision
is secured from that tribunal In the
meantime the prisoner must remain
in the Kinds county jail unless his
attorneys can convince Judge Henry
that his health would be placed in
jeopardy by close confinement
Steps preliminary to presenting
proof of this character were taken
Thursday afternoon when Smith was
permitted to leave the jail, accompani-
ed by deputy and his new attorney,
Hon. H. v. Watkins. The party went
to the office of a local physician where
Smith was given a thorough physical
examination.
1t is expected that the states attor,
neys will resist the effort to secure
bail. At least they will insist that
the court appoint two competent and
unbiased physicians to make examina
tion of the prisoner.
Under the laws of this state, after
conviction for criminal offense a pris
oner is not entitled to bail unless il
can be conclusively shown that his
health is being endangered by close
confinement Smith Is apparently In
good health, although he has never
been regarded as robust man.

China's First Trade Union.

From the Westminster Gazette
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Times tells us that China has just seen
the birth of it's first trade union on ap-
proved western lines. Last Monday 1000
goldsmiths and silversmiths struck for
an eleven-hour day, two hours for meals
and a 40 per cent a:se in wages. Chinese
Ike, the notion of forming union does
not seem to have originated until after
the strike was in full force, but when
the masters gave way, as they did after
f1rty-eight hours. they were faced with
a new demand that they should employ
none but union men. So once again east
is west, and it is shown that it is not
only the Japanese which have the init
ative instinct strongly developed

after the war;
A wooden bridge a few feet wide
spanned the creek on the north side OF
the Avenue in the early days, when We

then of brick North of this the stream
veered to the east through the northwest
corner of the square, crossing Il street
of I'd street was public ground until Isl,
when, under the act for changing the
course of the canal. it was plated into
building lots. The northwest corner OF
I'd street and the Avenue was afterWard
the property of j. Simonds, who lived
there. and adjoining II. Y. Hill had a
cabinet shop. This property WAS bought
by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany and converted into d depot in 1850.
Four Trains a Day.
This depot was used from July, 1850 until
1852. and i'm the early days there were but
two trans each way a day, and the fare
was $50, the ordinary time being two
hours and a quarter between the two
cities, Baltimore and Washington.
The square north, now occupied by the
census bureau. was bought also by the
railroad company and here was built a

after 1852 Matthew c. Emery bought the
railroad property and conducted Il stone
yard there.
Adjoining the railroad tracks on Il
street was three-story brick building
used by x. Shadd d tavern. Mr..
Shadd moved therefrom in 1S4S to a
frame building at the southwest corner
of Pennsylvania avenue and Sd street.
and opened the Union restaurant. in
which he was succeeded by his son-in-
law. Charles Mades. some ten years
afterward. There were also on the Ave-
nue. front some brick houses erected in
the forties, one of them being occupied
by Mrs. BraWner and another by Mrs.
Brasheirs as boarding houses, and with
the latter Col Shillington was a So
journer. He was the agent for the Balti-
more Sun, which at that time devoted
much space to the local news of Wash
ington
There was in this square the residence
and store of John O'Meara. who kept a
small hardware and variety store. with
sporting goods, and it was probably the
first sporting goods establishment in the
city. There was also the Green Tree
House Of McCirann, another very popular
place. and early i'm the fifties the Adams
Express Company built one of the first
iron front buildings ever erected in this
city. About 1916 Gen Walter Jones
