Gtitutional convention met today in
secret session and considered the re
port of the committee that went to
Washington to obtain more definite
information regarding the intention
of the Uited States government.
General Sanguilly objected to the re
port on the ground of incompleteness,
pointing out that the committee made
no recommendations.
"They were sent to Washington,'
he said, "with the object of getting
some of the bases changed, but they
offer no explanation as to why the
change could not be effected, nor do
they express an opinion regarding ac
ceptance or rejection of the Piatt
amendment, as we had expected they
would."
Senors Llamo. Tano and Betancourt
replied that Secretary Root had said
the bases could not be changed, as
the Piatt amendment was the final
policy of the Washington administra
ings manufactured in mills where non
union men are employed, and as this
is the only cause of complaint that
the union carpenters have, the offl-
rials are confident that there will be
no more trouble.
The attendance at the grounds to
day was good, notwithstanding that
it rained for about two hours during

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., May 13.
The sudden illness of Mrs. McKinley
has caused an unexpected change in
the itinerary of President McKinley.
He arrived in this city quietly, sev
eral hours ahead of the time sched
uled. The state of Mrs. McKinley's
health was such that the president de
cided to leave Del Monte and bring
his wife to this city immediately to
the home of Henry T. Scott, where
she could have complete rest for a few
days, and where a specialist could be
consulted if necessary.
A special of two cars and a loco
motive was made up from the presi
dent's special and at 12:30 the presi
dent, Mrs. McKinley, Miss Barber, the
president's niece, Secretary Cortelyou
and wife. Dr. Rixey and Mr. II. T.
Scott and wife left Del Monte for San
Francisco, leaving the remainder of
the presidential party at Del Monte.

New England to attend the commeifce

Hoar. After a sojourn of three days
at Mr. Hoar's home, in Worcester,
Mass., Mr. McKinley will visit Senator

and later will go to Hingham, the home
of Secretary Long, where he will spend
the Fourth of July. He will pass the

To satisfy the many Inquiries which
she finds it impossible to answer by
letter, Mrs. Goss has sent the follow
ing statement of her case to the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat:
"I did not think I could live a day
and suffer as I have lived and suffered
for months, with Sciatica and Rheu
matism. I used baths and liniments
of all kinds. Two physicians treated
me, one of them for two months. Noth
ing helped me in the least. I never
slept more than ten or fifteen minutes
at a time. I was bedfast and had to
lie on one side all the time. I used
to wish for death to deliver me from
such torture.
"A friend suggested Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and after I had used them a
week I began to Improve, and in about
four weeks I could sit up in bed. A
few days later I walked a quarter of
a mile and back. I now do all my own
cooking and housework. The pain
has entirely left me and I am a well
woman. I have taken altogether six
teen boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills.

The practice of oiling roads to keep

tractive to Californians and the suc

for this purpose promises to cause its
even more general adoption.

aiacn concerned About the
Condition of M rs. McKinley.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 14. Secre
tary Cortelyou this morning gave out
the following bulletin as to Mrs. Mc
Kinley's condition:
"Mrs. McKinley rested well during
the night and thl3 morning was quite
as comfortable as her physicians ex
pected her to be. President McKinley
will not decide until later in the day
whether he will go to San Jose or
not."
There ls some probability of Presi
dent McKinley abandoning his pro
posed trip into the northwest in view
of the condition of Mrs. McKinley.
Unless there is a radical change for
the better the presidential party will
leave for Washington soon after the
celebrations in this section are over.
Mr. McKinley is very much worried
over the condition of his wife, and
it is even possible that many of the
functions arranged in his honor for
the coming week may be postponed or
dropped altogether. Secretary Cor
telyou has given notice that Mrs. Mc
Kinley, should she continue the trip
with the president, will not under
any circumstances engage in any of
the social functions arranged for the
party at any place, but that Mrs. Mc
Kinley will remain as quiet as pos
sible during the remainder of the
tour. "

When Their Terms Begin.

In their characteristics, both are mar
velously productive, and both rest
upon a subsoil of clay. The ad
vantage of this formation ls that it
retains the heat of the day during the
night, and Is favorable to the early
maturity of crops. Every kind of
crop will here attain the highest per
fection of quality. The land Is admir
ably adapted for stock-raising and
dairy farming, as well as growing
grain. Some idea of the richness of.
the natural grasses of the prairie may;
be formed from the fact that mors

within a short distance of Saskatoon

suitability of the land for pasturing
cattle, and no doubt this Important in

Nature has been lavish in her gifts
to this territory. Not only Is the soil
of unexampled fertility, but the climate
ls delightful and healthy. Such Is tha
testimony of every settler, and this
testimony is confirmed by enthusiastic
opinions from every traveler, explorer,
missionary or newspaper correspond

famed Saskatchewan Valley. In form

storm-swept regions south of the

thereby the adaptation of these rolling
prairies to the purpose of raisins
stock. The land Is dry, with sufficient,
but not excessive rainfall, capable of
early cultivation in the spring, and
free from summer frosts. The config
uration of the country renders artifi
cial drainage unnecessary, and pre
vents the accumulation of stagnant
pools; mists and fogs are seldom seen.
The days of summer are full of sun

which crops rapidly ripen. Autumn
is characterized by an almost unbroken
succession of fine weather, during
which, the crops are safely garnered
In winter It Is cold, but extremely ex
