According to this a psy who Was supposed not to have known s majesty’s ‘identify. told him that he would “rise high; to the throne itself, but ‘would just fall short of his ambition at the last moment ahd would not be crowned king.” § The same seer told King Edward that he would be s0 unlucky on the turf that if even one_of his horses was golng to win & race it would fall dead at the finish.

ONLY SYMPATHY FOR A FELLOW MAN House of Commons Proceeds with Its al Red-Tape Routine While Waiting for News from the King. LONDON, June 25.—Of the scene in the House of Commons when the announcement of the illness of King Edward was made, T. P. O’'Connor, Irish Nationallst member and president of the Irish National leagu: has. written the following account for the Assoclated Pres: The ' work-a-day world goes on in its usual way, whatever tragedy be in the air, which will probably be true of the I of Commons, which 1s cven yet bound divn with the iron rules that no high destiny or national crisis can unbind. Thus It was today when the whole of London was shaken by the announcement of the postponement of the coronation and the serlous iliness of the king, for which everybody was waiting to see the ministers enter. and hear some news one way or the other. A clerk at a table read out the words of & proclamation from a provincial town councll, regarding an educational Bill. The educational bill is important, hut to. have this presentation with its' J tautology read when the fate of the mon- Arch was In the balance was one of those grotesque contradictions which exaspecaied and finally got on the nerves of the house, But_as the clerk read stolldly on in a muffled voice the house began at st to interrupt him with discordant and even indecorous cries, and while the nouse was thus descending into chaotic and undignifiad disorder the ministers were still absent from their places and the house was etill lett without news. Profound Depression in House But In spite of all this, and In apite of even the discordant and Erotesque shoute. there was that about the place which showed that something was in the air that shocked, saddened and even affrightcncd men. It is no exaggeration to say that there was a look of far more profound depression about the house than even in those awful and trying hours for English- men when the dlsasters of Colensy and Splonkop seemed to make the whole fabric of the empire reel. Many members entored the house as If {liness were theirs and as if & blow had fallen on them. The local petition was at last finished, the cries censed and there fell a somber’ and solemn stillness on the house when Mr. Balfour and the other ministers flled in. Spontaneously and universally hats were taken off when Mr. Balfour rose and nounced that he had a message to dc in_reference to the king. ‘The House of Commons always l10oks {! best and most impressive when it ls thus unfovered. It 18 the custom for hats to be kept on, and therefore the mere act of uncovering heads gives to the familiar place a certain unusualness of look und & Certain solemn exaltation, and so it was today when Mr. Balfour arose. Balfour for Once is Moved. Mr. Balfour is not a man who ever shows much feeling, and it is said of him by some of his most severe critics that he has much setitiment but no feeling. Today, however, nobody could deny that for once Mr. Bal: four seemed to be moved, and it was with something of a break in his voice that he announced the seriousness of the King's condition and the fact that the operation had been already pertormed. Mr. Balfour's statement occupled but a few moments and it was followed by a few words _from 8ir Henry Campbell-Banner- man, the leader of the opposition, and then the whole scene was over. It took but a few moments and but for thé general air of the house, {0 which I haye alluded, the scene was not impressive. There was no display of feeling until Mr. Balfour came to the point where he fore- shadowed the statement that the surgeons ful of the result. It was an evi- how keen the feeillng was that he wed to conclude his sentence. There was an anticipatory and big out- burst of cheers from all parts of the house. Red Iape Not Omitted.

The false report of King Edward's death came at 4:20 o'clock and at 4:30 the House of Lords began its sitting.

D., June 25.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The first proposition ditcussed in both the democrat and populist conven- tions was that of fusion. The parties opened in separate conventions, the demo- crats elected H. H. Smith chairman and F. M. Stover secretary and proceed to discuss fusion. Some delegates were instructed against 1t, but finally resolutions were passed favoring fusion, and a committee to confer with the populists was chosen. Tho populists also had a lively discu slon on the fusion matter, but finally ap- polnted a conference committée with the undéerstanding that while they surrender this name at this time they do not abandon party organizatioil and have the liberty to take the mame at any future time. The democrat committee was John A. Bowler of Minnehaha, T. J. Ryan of Union, S. E. Rowe of Stanley, W. T. Lafollette of Brule, Thomas Reeves of Bonhomme. The pop- ullst conference committee was A. B. Fox of Minnehaha, W. J. Healy of Hand, James Mohr of Hansen, R. B. Carr of Potter, J. E. Kelley of Moody. The peopfé's party platform reafrmed the Sfoux Falls document, compliments the party on the splendid campalgn of educas cation and the adoption by the democratic ond republican parties of part of its plat- form; believes their princlplesc stronger than ever and will prevail in the near tuture; denounces the republicans’ refusal to sympathise with the Boers and for send- ing representation to the coronation; op- poses a war of conquest and demands tho independence of the Philippines the same as Cuba; favors the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people; de- nounces the Fowler bill for the retirement of silver and gold; denounces trusts and de- mands the enforcement of laws against them; deplores the action the South Da- kota republicane in voting in favor of a r port on the subsidy bill; denounces extr vagance in state affairs; denounces the bank trust as operated in South Dakota: condemns the supreme court for its de- cision nullifying the intent of the consti- tution regarding the initiation and refern- dum by allowing candidate’s name to ap- poar but once on a ballot. The platform adopted by the democrats reaffirms the Kansas City platform, de- nounces Fowler's currency bill and the working of the Textbook trust in the state, denounces the state legislature for the change in the Australian ballot confining the number of parties represented on the ballot, denounces the legislature for the repeal of the law allowing each county commissioner district to elect its own mem- ber, favors government control of railroads and public facilities afd favors the election of United States senators by direct vote. The democratic convention was informed by ex-Governor Lee of fhe action of the populist convention when the conference committees entered. An invitation was ex- tended to all populists to occupy seats in the convention and a committee of five was named to escort them to the hall. Recess. Following the recess the convention made thess nominations to be known as the dem- ocratic ticket: For congress, John R. Wil- son of Lawrence county and L. 8. Crill of Unlon county; for governor, John W. Mar- tin of Codington; for lleutenant governor, Everett Smith of Davison; for secretary of state, B. 8.

Pays Loving Tribute to Tatt and Ellhn Root as Referring to Other Notable Graduates. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 25.—Com- mencement at Haryar® university was of unusual interest today because of the pres- ence of President Roosevelt, a guest of Harvard, of the .class of 1880, who re- celved the honorary degree of LL.D. There were other notable guests who also recelved the degree of LL.D, including Rev, Edward Everett Hale, D. D., of Boston, and many graduates who have brought honor to their university. As a precaution for the safety of President Roosevelt the college yard, usually open to all, was enclosed by a fence and only holders of degrees, offi- cers, students and guests were admitted, and these by ticket only. No women were admitted inside the yard and even students residing in the yard meeded tickets for ad- mission. For today's events the weather was de- 1ighttul. The president and Governor Crane reached Harvard just before 10 o'clock. Thelr coming was signaled by the sounding of the bugle as the cavalry formed at af tention, while the president alighted. The candidates for degrees. in black gowns with simple distinguishing banners for the various departments, were assembled in the yard and the officers of instruction and government were waiting in Massachusetts hall. The visitors were escorted to Massachu- setts hall, where they were presented to President Eliot. Confer Honorary Degrees. At 10 o'clock, preceded by the senlor class, President Eliot led the procession of tellows, overseers, state dignitaries, fac- ulty, invited guests and alumni to San- ders' theater, where the graduating exer- cises were held. After the addresses by the commencement peakers the honorary degrees were conferred by President Eliot as follows: Doctor of Laws—Thom: Jefferson Coolidge, lately minister to the French - republic; Addison Brown, United States Judge, New York; John Hay, “by force of just and liberal thinking, the most successful diplomatist now living;"” Theo- dore Roosevelt, ‘‘president of the United States, from his youth a member of this soclety of scolars, now in his prime, a true type of the sturdy gentleman and the high-minded public servant in a democ- raey.” Among those recelving the degree of the masters of art were Francls Blake, In- ventor of the telephone transmitter, and Walter Reed, the army surgeon who planned and directed in Cuba the experiments which have enabled man to control yellow fever. After the degrees Preeident Roosevelt and Rev. Crane were driven to the home of President Ellot, and after a short rest the president visited two of the spreads, that of the Porcelain club and that of the Alumni club, at University hall. At 2 o'clock President Roosevelt and President Eliot and the other guests re- paired to the college yard, where again a column was formed, this time of the alumni. Headed by the band the procession passed through the grounds, where cheers were given by the student body and the alumni classes. The march ended at Memorial hall. At the speakers, table were Hon. John Long, presidifig, with President Roosevelt on his left and jdent Eliot on his right. Rev. Dr. Gordo fered blessfng and aftei & &phce ‘of fimé*the dinner was served.

(Cries of “Good!" Long and continuous ap- plause). Speaks of Three Others. Gentlemen, I want to speak of three other college graduates because of the service they have done the public. 1f a college education means nnylh'i‘nn it meane fitting a man to do better service than he could do without it; If it does not mean that It means nothing, and if a man does not get that out of it he gets less than nothing out of it. No man has a right to arrogate to himself one particle of su- periority because he has had a college edu- cation, but he is bound, if he is in truth a man, to feel that the fact of his having had a college education imposes upon him & heavier burden of responsibility; that it makes it doubly incumbent on him to do well and nobly in his life, private and pub- le. 1 want to speak of three men who during the last three or four years hdve met that requirement—of a graduate of Hamllton college, Elihu Root; & graduate of Yale, Governor Taft, and of a fellow Harvard man, Leonard \Vun(l—lngfllnu!m— men who did 'things, did not say how they should do them, but did them themselves— men who have met that greatest of our na- tlonal needs—the need for the service that cannot be bought, the need for the service t can only rendered by the man will- forego the material advantages, for it has got to be given at the man's own material cost, en in England they get a man to do what Lord Cromer did In Egypt; when a man returns as Lord Kitehener will return from South Africa, they give him a peer- age and a great sum of money—he recelves a_large and tangible and_our Cromers, our men of that stamp, come back to'the country, and if they are for- tunate they go back to private life with the privilege of taking up what they can find of the strings left loose when they sundered their old connections, and 1f they are unfortunate they are accused of mai- adversion in office—(laughter)—not an a. cusation that hurts them, but an accusa- tion that brands with Infamy every man who makes it, and reflectsa but ill on the country in which it is made. (Loud ap- plause.) Wood's Work in Cuba. Leonard Wood four years ago went to Cuba; he served there ever since; has ren- dered services to that country of the kind pirformed 3,000 years ago would have made im a hero, mixed up with the sun god in varlous ways; a man who devoted whole life to'these four years and who thought of nothing else, did nothing else save to try to bring up the standard of political and soclal lite in that island; to clean it physically and morally; ' to make justice éven and fair in it; to found a school system that should be akin to our own; to teach the people after four cen- turies of misrule that there were such things as governmental righteousness and honesty and fair Blay, for uil men on their merits as men. He did all that. He is a man of ‘slender means. He did it on his Pay as an army officer and as governor of the island. Sixty millions of dollars passed through his hands and he came out having to draw on his slender capital in_ order that he might come out even when he left the island. " Credit to him?—yes, In a way, In another, no particular credit, because he was built so that he could do6 nothing else. (Loud applause.) He came out hav- ing done that and having devoted himself as dlsinterestedly to the good of the Cuban &mr‘le in all thelr relations as man could. e has come back here and has been at- tacked forsooth by people who are not merely unworthy of having their names coupled with his, but who are incapable of understanding the motives that have spurred him on to bring honor to this re- public.

D, a man who, having won high position at the bar and :hen served as sollol general with all his tastcs impelllng him to a judiclal career and was appointed to the United States bench, was asked to give up the position in order to go to the other side of t world to take up an infinitely difficult and infinitely dangerous problem and to do h's best to solve it. He has done his best. o came back here the other day. The man has always had the honorable ambition to get on the supreme court, and he knew that had always hoped he would Se put upon the supreme court, and when there was a question of a vacancy arising 1 vald to him: “Governor, I think I ought o tell you that a vacancy comes in the supreme court while ft' would give you an cppor- {[“k"" lg be 1\\![\ :gl n}:e;po‘lll}:’n youwontd e ave., ink_I ought tq.(ell you tHAL T8 such 'a VLCANGY: ahabid ‘obohr 1 A not see how 1 could possibly give it to you, for I need you where you are,' He sald to me: “Mr, President, it ha: always been my dream to be In the s preme court, but if you should offer me a Justiceship now, and at the same time congress should take off entirely my esalary as governor 1 should go straight back to the Philippines nevertheless, for those peo- rle need me and expect me back and be- leve T will not desert them.” (Applause.) He has gone back, gone as a strong friend among weaker friends to help them unlPd along the stony and difficult path of self-government. (Applause.) To do his part, and a great part, in making . the American name a symbol of honor and gcod faith in the Philippine lands, to govern with justice and with that firmness, absence of weakness which Is only another slde of justice. (Applause.) He has gone back to do all of that because it is his duty as he sees it. We are to be congratulated, we Americans, that we have a fullow American like Taft. Kind Words for Root. his And now, Elihu Root, who unlike myself, Mr. President Ellot, but like most of you present, comes of the old New England stock, whose great grandfather stood be- sidé feonard Wood's great grandfather at Concord Bridge (appiause); Elihu Root, who had worked his way up from being a poor and unknown country boy in New York to a position where {n a year or two he had the leadership of the bar for the great city in his grasp, 1.“ it up, made very great pecuniary sacrifice {mplied in giving 1t up, and accepted .the position under President MoKinley of secretary of war, a position which for the last three years and at pros- ent amounts to being not only the secre- tary of war, but the gecretary for the islands, the 'secretary for the colonies at the same time; who has done the most exhausting and most responsible work of any man in the administration, more s0 than the work of the president, because circumstances have been such that with a man of Roots wondertul abllity, industry and consclentiousness the president could not help but devolve upon him work that made his task one under which almost any other man 1 know would have staggered e has done that and done |t absolutely isinterestedly. Nothing can come to Root in the way of reward save that which is implied in the knowledge that he has done that which hardly any other man in the union "could have done as well.

Inel- dentally, he has done all. Taft has done . Wood has done it. These three men ave rendered that service, 1 can do noth- ing for them.

ARNOUR TAKES 0MAHS PLANT to any | Report From Chicago of Absorption of Omaha Packing & Provision Company. INVOLVES PLANTS HERE AND IN CHICAGO Loeal Manager for Unable Report, but Admits There Hax Been Talk of Such a Deal. Armour to Confirm CHICAGO, June 25.—(Special Telegram.) —Armour has bought into the Omaha Pack- ing company, in packing circles. tant part of properties. Anglo- American property proper; the Fowler Bros'. Packing company. The ‘Anglo-Amerlcan property will' cost The Swift and Company about $5,000,000. Omaha Packing company was to have been taken over last May by a syndicate headed by ‘Ha- M. Cobe; which propsed - to: issue 42000000 prefcrred stock and $1,000,000 com- mon. ‘8o that it looks as if Armour and Switt were dividing ‘the packing spoils. The Omaha Packing company has always made money and was a prize which has always ‘been eyed by the whole group of packers. It has a fine packing plant at Archer avenue outside of the stock yards. It gets its hogs direct and pays no tolls to the stack yards cempany, and this sav- ing has always been counted a handsome thing. It has also its establishment at Omaha. The company has been managed very successfully by E. T. Robbins. and the business of Viles & Robbins and the Omaha Packing company are linked to- gether. “I have recently sold some of my stock in the Omaba Packing company,” was the statement Mr. Robbins made tonight when asked as to the reported purchase by Ar- mour & Co. “I do not care to glve, as yet, the purchasers.” Evidently it 1s the Intention of the big packing companies to take over all the smaller ones that can be bought and nar- row the fleld down to the lowest possible limits. When that s done a general con- solldation will be far easier than it would be under present circumstances. Robert C. Howe of Omaha, general man- ager of Armour & Co.'s interests here, stated last night to a Bee reporter that he knew nothing of the reported deal. He sald there had been rumors to this effect, he knew, but whether the transaction had actually taken place, he could not say. THINGS WE LIKE BEST Why is it They so Seldom Agree With Us? ‘What's the reason the things we like best 80 seldam seem to agree with us? Maybe it's because we overeat of them. Then follows a fit of indigestion. Only lasts a day or two perhaps, But it's a most uncomfortable day or two. ‘We don’t mean to abuse our stomachs but we'all do it more or less. We see things we want and can’t resist the longing for them. When it's too late we regret our rashness. But there's a way to escape the conse- quences of such indiscretions. A dose of a good digestant like Kodol Dys- ia Cure will relieve you at once. !ndlgesuon is always due to the samecause. Yourstomach is too weak to digest what you eat. It needs rest. You ean’t rest it by going without food. ‘That would mean starvation. But Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will restit. 1t does ‘the stowach’s work, In the mean time the tired organ is gaining fresh strength.
