The measure provides for universal suffrage, but restrictions as to abil Ity to read and write are imposed in the case of officeholders. Washington. July 30.—Admiral Kimberly has asked to be relieved from serving on the Schley court of inquiry on account of the state of his health, which is very poor, he being now un der the care of a physician. It is denied by the Navy Department that Schley has, as reported, written to the department raising objections to that portion of the precept for the court of inquiry which practically, at Feast, accuses him of disobedience of orders. The only letter received from Schley is one acknowledging the receipt of the precept and requesting that he might be given permission to consult counsel regarding its terms. He makes no comment, so far as can be learned, on the personnel of the court, nor does he criticise the pre cept in the letter. Admiral Benham has accepted his designation as a member of the court, and says that he will be pleased to serve.

The Chemical National bank pays 15C per cent a year to stockholders, whilt there are several banks, trust compa ules and even some industrial concerns including the Standard Oil company paying from 50 to 100 per ceut a year. NO ACTION TAKEN YET. The dividend on the old First Nation al bank stock of $500,000 amounts tc $5,000,000. But some of the novelty it taken out of the fact when it is tolc that the declaration is made not fron earnings on a capital stock of onlj $500,000, but also from the earnings ol $5,000,000 surplus fund and undlvldec profits of a sum almost equal, auc further that the dividend was made tc facilitate the bank's increase in capita from $500,000 to $10,000,000 with a sur plus of $10,000,000, making it the lar gest bank in the country as to capita and surplus. Mr. Morgan was auxlous that the steel trust's difficulties should uot lDt used for stock Jobbing purposes, which he had good reason to belieVe some persons were iu a position to do with the knowledge of the state of affairs In their possession. Realizing that the stock market could be used to the advantage of this select few, Mr. Morgan decided that it was imperative that he should take the matter of the strike Into his own hands, which he did. The state of the weather, in spite of the abseuce of wind, was very un favorable, the air being heuvily charg ed witji electricity and humidity, atwas proved by a tropical storm that broke over the city about 7 o'clock. In addition the motor worked very badly, becoming heated after  for a few miniites to a degree that diminished its efficacy by at least 51 per cent. Governors of provinces aud provincial legislators must be of Cuban birth or have been naturalized for a period of eight years. They must be at least 80 years of age.

Now Going On I Asks to be Relieved From the Schley Okfae.xtal'rtur SPECIAL LDW POKES Court THE CLOTHIER. Pittsburg, July 30.—The executive committee of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and 9teel Workers met in Becret session at tlie headquarters, in this city, this" 'morning at 9.30 o'clock. This was a half hour earlier than had been anticipated, and Indicated a desire on the part of the members to lose no time In getting down to the consideration of important matters that were awaiting their action relative to the great steel strike, which it is confidently asserted Is now nearlng a satisfactory settlement. Previous to the opening of the session. President Shaffer announced to all newspaper men that there was absolutely no information to he given to the public yet. The committee room was then cleared of reporters and all other persons not entitled to lie present at the meeting, and several guards were placed about the hallways in the Vicinity of the room. Every possible precaution was taken to prevent any of tu# proceedings from getting to the public. It was learned, however, that President Shaffer presided at the meeting. The session opened with a general statement of Its purpose by President Shaffer, who treated briefly {he story of his trip to New York to confer with the steel magnates, and Ms experience while there, together ■with the results of the trip. Secretary WilliamB followed, reading the proposals of the steel trust from a typewritten copy furnished by Mi". Mor gan. An animated discussion then took place, and adjournment was made to an adjoining room, whero the secre tar)' spent some time at the telephone. The morning session of the committee closed without any formal action having been taki'n on the propositions which came before it. ' The clay was one of keen excitement, replete with interesting scenes. It in estimated that fully 25,000 persons Witnessed the drawing. The immense throng was wrought up to the highest pitch. The same restrictions regarding cltl senship are laid upon congressmen, who must be 25 years of age. Senators must be Cuban by birth and 35 years of age. In this connection it Is assortwl thai J. I*.

In Every Dcpartmut An interesting feature of this trans action as pointed out at the time of the original announcement Is that a bar mony. agreement among three of the biggest banks of the country—the First the Chase aud the National Bank ol Commerce—has been made by the lar ger stockholders, including J. Pierpon* Morgan. The president must be a Cuban or naturalized. In the latter case, as provided by the constitution, he must have served In the Cuban army for ten years. He must be at least 40 years of age. The same conditions apply to the vice president. PEOPLE'S STORED Indians Lose Injonction Suit. FOUR PRISONER8 ESCAPE.
