that the United States at the beginning of
February "proposed to Sir Julian Paunco-
fete that Great Britain take ever the Philip

Uut , it is added , "this feeling has altered
greatly slnco the heavy fighting , " although
It Is said beyond a doubt that the United

glad to exchange or otherwise disburden
Itself of the permanent charge of the
Islands. "
WASHINGTON , March 29. The best of

the report that the United States tried to
dls.pcso &f the Philippines to Great Britain.
It was asserted at the time the Paris pence
commission was sitting that the United

would turn them over to Great Drltaln or
Japan. The story was denied at the time
and Is again denied today.

StONTOOMDUY , Ala. , March 29. Tha
democrats of Alabama met hero today to
name delegates from the state at largo to
the constitutional convention to bo held next
August. The action late last night In re
fusing to the populists the number of dele
gates proportionate to the number of utato
senators woven gave the democrats a clear
Held. Thulr plan Is to submit the consti
tution which they have prepared to the
people for ratification. The republican op
position Is not very otroug , nnd although
they have decided to formulate an address
at the meeting hero Saturday , the democrats
claim It can have no effect. The Illiterate
white farmers are to bo provided for by an
amendment providing that where one can
not read nor write he shall l > o allowed to
vote if ho pays taxes on as much ns $300
worth of property. This would give practi
cally every whlto man the right to vote and
eliminate only the Illiterate negro ot the
farming belt.
The following resolutions were adopted :
First : That wo favor the holding of a
constitutional convention for the purpose of
so regulating the right to vote as to
perpetuate the rule of the vthlto mau in
Alabama.
Second : That the constitutional conven
tion shall regulate all questions of sutfr.igo
so ns not to conflict with the constitution
of the United States and for the best Inter
ests of the people and the taxpayers of
Alabama.
Third : That there shall bo Inserted in
such constitution a provision limiting the
rata o ! taxation bv the state , counties end
munlci : nlltlesi. and that such rates of taxa
tion shall not exceed the rate now fixed by
tha pnpcnt constitution , but a lower rate
If Ducticable.
Fourth- That the proposed now conjtltu-
tlcn shall bo submitted to a vote of tbo
people for Its adoption or rejection.
Fifth : That we pledge our faith to the
people of Alabama not to deprive any whlto
man of the right to vote , except for con
viction of infamous crime.
Sixth ; That section SI ) , of article Iv. of
the pieeont cons.Mtutlpp In reference to the
removal and location , of the "state paoitol
shall. remain unclmnccd.
Seventh : That the provisions and restric
tions In tbo. present constitution as to cor-
poratlnrs nhall remain unchanged.
Eighth : That wo hersb/ Instruct all
democratic members of the constitutional
convention faithfully to carry out the above
pledges.
Thirty-three delegates ! from itho state at.
largo , one for each senatorial district , were
nominated. Ex-Congressman Deneon pre
sided temporarily and Stoto Senator Jelks

missioners to represent the United States at
the forthcoming convention called by the
cznr of Russia , with n view to promoting
peace among the nations was advanced by
the president. It Is understood that three
ambassadors of the United States at , European -
pean courts \\lll be named , together" with
two or three citizens of the United States
not In the diplomatic service. The personnel
of the commission has not yet been definitely
decided.
The new Nicaragua canal commission ,
which was provided for In the last river and
harbor bill , also was discussed and It Is not
unlikely that the members will bo named
very soon.
The question of raising nn additional force
of volunteers to go to the Philippines was
not mentioned at the meeting and It Is not
thought the president has such a purpose in
view at the present time.
Postmaster General Emory Smith , who
has just returned from Cuba , told of his
observations there , and It was upon his sug
gestion that several of the Cuban adminis
trative departments will be consolidated ,

The town of Gibson , on the Burlington ,
wns besieged Wednesday night by a small
army of tramps driven by the snow nnd cold
to seek shelter nnd food wherever they
could lay hands on It. Every eastbound
train brought Its contingent of hoboes , who
joined forces with members of the nomadic
fraternity already on the spot , using the
sand house for a barracks and making In
cursions to neighboring houses for food and
fuel. The tramps accompanied their de
mands with threats of personal violence nnd
succeeded In creating general alarm. Re
ports were sent to thu police station that
half a hundred hoboes were camping about
Gibson like an army nl occupation and were
running things to suit themselves. A cquad
of otllcers was dispatched to the scene ,
traveling In a'spfeclal car over the railroad.
They found the sand house In possession cf
the hoboes , who had scooped out warm beds
In the dry sand and built Hies until the
place resembled the blvouac-of an nrniv.
In sotr.n , manuon the tnamus-received a
warning , of.lhe approach of the police and
breaking nellmcll , from" Ihelr headquarters
they scattered In * all directions. Eleven ar
rests were'made and a cilard was left to see
that no more depredations were committed

Prof. Roxa Tyler of Chicago , vice presl
dent Illinois Woman's Alliance , In speakln
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy , says : "
suffered with a severe cold this winter whlc
threatened to run Into pneumonia. I trie
different remedies , but I seemed to gro\
worse and tha medicine upset my stomach
A friend advised mo to try Chamberlain'
Cough Remedy , and I found It was pleasan
to take and it relieved me at once. I an
'
now entirely recovered , saved a doctor's bill
time and suffering , and I will never be with
out this splendid medicine again. "
