Dr. Canfield said that there are 30,000 boy members of the association in this country. He urged that the boys be given a place to work in the association, for there is nothing that doe£ a boy more good than work Washington, June 14.—The main obstacle to complete independence foi Cuba has been removed by the action of the constitutional convention in accepting the Piatt amendment without the explanatory appendix which wafe objectionable to this government. This view is generally expressed in official circles here and is shared by senators and representatives who are in town and who talked with the president on the subject. It is not likely, however, that a new government for the island will be established before congress as I sembles In December, so that there will be opportunity for any additional legislation that may be necessary before the American government relinquishes control of the Island.

The bowsprit of the lighter pierced the cabin of the steamer. Instantly there was a wild commotion .on the Isabelle. Women in all parts of the boat fainted and men ran wildly about.

These 14 ordinances give to a number of capitalists who are friendly to the dominant in the Republican party in this state the right to construct underground and elevated railways on streets now occupied by surface railway companies and to build surface roads on those streets uow occupied by other companies.

Sun Yat Sen is the stormy petrel of China. Last September's abortive re bellion iu Canton was ninlnly due to his Inspiration. He organized a widespread movement for the overthrow of the present dynasty.

Sun Yat Sen came iuto prominence In London several years ago, wheli he was nearly the cause of an open rupture between Great Britain aud China.
