There is no need therefore for summoning: a na tional convention. It rests with con gress to decide whether the method -f ratification shall be by the state legis lature or by a state convention. In this case congress has determined that the ratification shall be by legislature and the states sre obliged to conform with the determination. Governor Weed jrot turn. After the governor of a state receives the resolution properly certified he sub mits it to the legislature. Here his function ends. He need riot even sign the ratification act. A governor of Now Hampshire once vetoed an amendment. it waa never fully tested in the courts. but It Is held by the state department that his action would have no effect. After each house of- the- state- legis lature has ratified the act the question is closed so far as that state is con cerned. It can never reconsider its ac tion. If it fails to ratify, however, it can reconsider its action and ratifica tion later will be effectual. Three states attempted to withdraw their ratl flcation of the fourteenth 'amendment. ' out they were prevented by congress. There is no limit within which a state may take action on amendment - after It has been submitted. If three fourths of the states fall to ratify the Income tax amendment Immediately it will be come effective whenever they do. even 19 It Is not for an indefinite number of years. In 1873 the Ohio state senate ratified an amendment submitted In 1739. - Twelve State Can Block It. Twelve states can block the ratifica tion of the Income tax amendment. If at any future tlmo any one of those 11 should ratify the tax amendment it would be adopted as a part of the con stitution. . When a state ratifies an amendment the state's secretary of state sends a certified copy of. the action to the sec retary of. state of the United States. The federal secretary of state is charged with the duty of determining when a sufficient number of ratifications have been received. - As soon aa he receives a sufficient number he .issues ' a proclamation de claring that the amendment has been adopted. No action is required of the president When adopted it is printed on parchment and after being tested by the secretary of atate Is deposited In the stfe with the constitution and other amendments.- ; Her Preference. .

"There Is no better evidence of a clty'a prosperity than its postoffice re ceipts, said .Assistant Postmaster Wil liamson this afternoon, "which accounts for our feeling so good about the figures for Portland for July."

THOUSANDS "OF REFUGEES ON WAY TO FRANCE (United Pren leaerd "Win.) Paris. Aug. Thousands of refugees are arriving on the French frontier, having fted for their lives from Barce lona, bringing the most terrible tales of distress and suffering. The refugees way that more than 2000 persons have been shot down and killed In the streets of Barcelona and that hundreds of wounded rebels, unable to escape, are hiding in the city. Whenever the wounded are found by the soldiers they are quickly dispatched. Those who have made their way to the frontier Are without shelter, money or food and have been forced to throw themselves upon the charity of the French people. The real origin of the Insurrection Is the hatred held by the people for the ministry. . ' , The declaration of martial law by Premier Maura amounts to placing the country under a dictatorship. There Is now no chance for the as cendancy of Don Jaime, the pretender, as the Carlist movement is dead. Steamer Falcon Arrlvea From San Francisco With Bonded Freight.

Convicts Raise Game Birds. From the Seattle Times. ' A novel experiment is In process of development at the McNeil island fed era! penitentiary; near Tacoma, where the convicts are rearing Chinese pheas ants and Rouen call ducks for the mar ket, affording the prisoners a diversion that relieves their minds from the pall of prison life and. gives them a small in come, which they are' devoting to the purchase of. books, newspapers and cnagazlnes, and which has enriched them also by a phonograph, the vocal and in strumental strains from which resound to thein delight through corridors and cells. The experiment Is the result of an idea which originated with United States Marshal C B. Hopkins, whose headquarters is in Seattle, and who ad vanced the prisoners the necessary fund for the purchase of original stock. - Pens, yards and coops have been built by the prisoners, who have regarded the task as much more of a diversion than a labor. Under the careful handling the birds have received, good progress has been made, until now the penitentiary has a goodly array of both ducks and pheasants ready for the market. In the beginning a pair of Rouen' ducks was Imported from France, the native ground, and the best specimens of Chinese, pheasants were obtained. The Initial outlay was something jnore than $100. Both breeds are well adapt ed to the climate of Puget sound, where the Chinese bird has for years been well known. . The Rouen ducks are used as decoy birds, as they will call in wild ducks to the retreat where- they have been placed by the hunter. Something fewer than 100 prisoners are held in the Puget sound peniten tiary. Many are from Alaska, there being no federal prisons In the north. An Italian army . officer claims to have perfected a wave power motor with which be lights his home and decom poses water so as to obtain hydrogen and oxygen in commercial quantities.

Captains Wish Vessel Moved to New Position. A notlttnn haa been sent to CaDtaln J. i. elllcott, lighthouse Inspector for this district by various captain who come regularlv into the harbor, to have the Columbia light vessel shifted. Cap tain Elllcott favors the shifting of the lightship and wm suDmit tne pennon with his recommendation to the light- hnnai Innarri. It is desired that the lightship be mnvert from har Dresent pesltlon to a point one and one fourth miles almost directly eastward, which will put her in a direct line with the Cape Olsappoiut ment light. If the light ship were in this position, they couia stear airecuy for the Cape Disappointment light and have the lightship astern, giving them or and aft ranee, which would give them a direct course through the beat water in the channel. In case the light ship Is moved the whistling buoy in the north channel, which is rarely used, will be moved over into the south channel, in line with the light on Cape Disap pointment and the lightship.
