Madero is permitted to enter. Judge
Carabajal and Senor Vasquex Gomez,
the elder Francisco I. Madero and
Senor Pino Suarez, who represents the

the charmed circle.
The site of the peace conference
was not chosen for the convenience of
the newspapermen. It is on the Mexi
can side of the Rio Grande, midway
between Juarez and the lnsurrecto
Camp. As Gen. Navarro will not al
low the reporters to pas? through
Juarez, it is necessary to make the trip
to the scene of the peace negotiations
by way of the biidge near the El Paso
smelter, two miles beyond the meeting
'place of the conferees, which in add!
;tion necessitates the retracing of two
miles more on the Mexican side.

U HOUSE PASSES BILL.
f: The house this afternoon passed
Senator Flournoy's bill carrying an ap
propriation of one hundred thousand
dollars for the building for the su
preme court, railroad commission and
state library. The measure only lacks
the approval of the governor.
S Discussion of the weTTknown Wailes
i claim was revived again In the house
iupon the passage of Stringer's bill to
ire-enact the bill passed by the legis
Mature of 1903, appropriating twenty-
(flve thousand dollars for the payment
lot the claim jointly to Wailes and the
heirs of ,W, K. Beard. The Stringer
bill eliminates the heirs of Beard and
leaves Wailes the sole payee. ,The
money has remained in the treasury
j ever since Its appropriation. It is
claimed by Wailes that Beard had no
! contract with the state and the amount
f appropriated is only a fractional part
of the amount due. The bill passed
,as proposed after a debate. The vote
was 43 to 11. '

LONG FIGHT ENDS
IN THE. U. 8. SENATE
By Associated Prsss.
Washington, May 4. After a two
years fight, the senate today adopted
the Bailey resolution fixing 2 p. m. as

BIRMINGHAM J. C, GRONER
SAYS PENSACOLA IS THE PLACE
FOR HIM.
"The boys -can stay in Birmingham
if they want, but I am going to stay
in Pensacola until the governor calls
an extra session of the legislature," is
the way Hon. J. C. Groner expressed
himself last night when he returned
from Tallahassee and had . read the
letters and telegrams fi-om his col
leagues telling him that they had not
decided to come to Pensacola to stay
until they go back to their native
state.
It seems that the majority of the
insurgent legislators are In favor of
coming to the coast to spend some of
their time but there are a few that do
not care to get this far from home and
are thoroughly satisfied with Birming
ham. It is to , keep harmony among
the ranks of the insurgents that the
majority do not come on to Florida to
visit. However, several said, in their
letters to Mr. Groner, that they would
come down in a few days even if the
whole party would not consent to
come.
Mr. Groner was disappointed when
he reached the city from Tallahassee
last night when he failed to see some
of his friends for he fully expected to
see them In Pensacola. One day in
Tallahassee was enough for the Ten
nessee man. He says the personnel of
both bodies' of the legislature impressed
him Very much and that they looked
like Intelligent and conscientious men.
He is also pleased with the capitol or
would be, he 8 ays, if it was in Pen
sacola, or some other live city.
The people in Pensacola, said Mr.
Groner, "are the friendliest people I
have ever seen In my life. I have been
in the four sections of the United
States and have never found a more
hospitable people than I have right
here in Pensacola. vs .
"Every courtesy and attention is
being shown to me and the boys in
Birmingham don't know what they are
missing. I have been invited to go
fishing, boat riding and many other in
vitations have been sent me and I am
accepting them all Just as fast as I can
get around. I am going fishing tomor
row and expect to enjoy every hour of
my stay In Pensacola."
Pensacola people are disappointed
that the entire insurgent delegation
will not come to Pensacola, but to
those that do come a real Pensacola
welcome will be given them and they
will not be disappointed by visiting the
Deep Water City.
POLITICAL UNREST IS
WIDESPREAD IN CHINA
By Associated Press.
Hone Kong, May 4. Political unrest
is widespread but the revolutionary
movement begun at Canton last week
appears to have been checked. There
is. however, some apprehension for the
future. Many missionaries from the
west of Canton have fled for safety
down the river and are . coming to
Hong .Kong.
Veteran army men are being used
to restore order, as the authorities
fear that the sympathies of the newly
recruited soldiers are with the revolu
tlonaries.

AGED RESIDENT
PASSES AWAY
RELICT OF THE LATE STEPHEN
CHIPLEY DIED LAST NIGHT AT
11 O'CLOCK, FOLLOWING AN AT
TACK " EARLY YESTERDAY
MORNING.
tMHv f-j-.
Mrs. S. F. Chlpley, one of the most
highly esteemed residents of .Pensa
cola, passed away last night at 11
o'clock at her home on West Cervantes
street, her death following within
twenty-four hours a cerebral hemor
rhage. Mrs. Chlpley was found un
conscious in her bed at an early hour
yesterday morning, having suffered the
attack during the night.
The deceased was well-known, not
only in Pensacola, but throughout this
section and in Kentucky, her native
state. She had been a resident of this
city for the past twenty-eight or thir
ty years, coming . here from Louis
ville, i .
. She was born at Repton, the sum
mer home of Dr. Gait, her father, near
Louisville, and spent her early days
there. Dr. Gait was known through
out the south, and was one of the
most prominent citizens of Kentucky.
Many of the church sites in the city
of Louisville were donated by him, and
the town of Repton, Ala, took its name
after his summer home.
Mrs. Chlpley had been in failing
health for some time, but the sud
den attack came unexpected and was
a great shock to her many friends. She
had reached her 70th year, and is -sur
vived by three daughters and three
sons, as follows: Gait, Fannin and
Buckner Chlpley, and Mrs. I. H. Aiken
and Misses Annelta and Elise Chlpley.
Two of the sons who are absent , have
been telegraphed for, and the funeral
services will be condutced after -their
arrival. - t
DAVID LLOYD-GEORGE
REAPPEARS IN HOUSE
By Associated Preis.
London, May 4. David Lloyd-George
reappeared in the house of commons
today, being present for the first time
since his physical break down. He in
troduced the long promised plan for
state insurance against unemployment,
sickness and Invalidity.
The chancellor divided his proposi
tion In two parts, one dealing with
sickness and the other with unemploy
ment. By the provisions of the meas
ure, every worker between the ages of
16 and 65 whose annual earnings fall
below the income tax level of 160
pounds ($778) sterling, will be com
pulsory insured against illness so as
to assure him the receipt of five shil
lings ( U-20) per week, during his in
capacity. In this way the worker
would contribute about one-half, the
amount being dedutced from his, wages
while the balance would be paid Joint
ly by his employers and the state.

Berger Dissatisfied
With Constitution
Washington, May 4. Representative
Victor L. Berger, the only Socialist In
the house, who is displeased with the
constitution of the United States, has
Introduced a resolution which he hopes
will pave the way toward amending it
The constitution, Mr. Berger said, is
an antiquated and obsolete Instrument
and is not adapted to the , needs of
present day government. His resolu
tion provides that congress shall have
r VV
i
the power of calling constitutional
conventions to amend or revise th
constitution as occasion arises. "Our
constitution," said Mr. Berger, who
declared that his first resolution la only
the beginning of his efforts to improve
the state of the' nation, "is antiquated,
obsolete and really a hindrance to any
reasonable growth in our public life,
and therefore It should be changed.
Our present constitution was framed
at a time when this nation waa torn
and when the country had about 3,000,-
000 inhabitants. Since that time tre-
mendous economic changes have taksn
place. Steam and electricity have been
utilized, wonderful inventions have
been made, and the entire economic
structure has been changed. And yet
we are. still living under a constitution
made for hunters and farmers. My
amendment proposes a method to
bring about a constitution in accord
with the social life of today."

South American Dreadnoughts. -
Marine Journal: It is the custom
the "States," in speaking of South
American navies, not to take them very
seriously, but so far as battleships are
concerned,. Brazil, Argentina and Chile
are pursuing policies which are, to
bay the least, calculated to command
attention in the near future. There are
two battleships building for the Ar
gentine in the yard of the Fore River
Shipbuilding Company, which, when
completed, will be the largest and mPt
powerful of their type afloat Tmy
will be 28,000 tons, and modern
dreadnoughts In every sense of the
vord. Not to be outdone by her
neighbor," Brazil has ordered two 82,-000-ton
battleships built. In a British
yard, and now comes Chile calling for
blia for at least one modern dread
nought, also six torpedo boat de
stroyers. When considered, that the
South American navies have hereto
fore consisted wholly of worn out Eu
ropean vessels, it is evident that these
nations have caught the sea armament
er'Semlc, and that the family of naval
powers of the world may" .be increased,
In the near future, by several new
members.
It Is one thing to build battleships,
hovever, while It Is quite another
thing to fight them. Whether these na
tions are capable of furnishings the
personnel element needed for this re
ira.'rs to be seen. No greater object
U Eson of the disastrous effect on an
inferior personnel can be cited than
that of the Spanish navy in 1893,
which lost ship after ship through the
superior marksmanship and training
of the personnel of the American
navy.
