The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1884-11-22

The report was adopted with slight op-
position, chiefly from the Kansas dele
CATION. A paper by DR.. Caruthers, OF
Texas, on the theory OF Texas fever,
was ordered spread on the records.
A motion prevailed that this and all
similar papers heretofore or hereafter
submitted to the convention be put on
the records simply for general informa-
ton, and without the endorsement OF
delegates.
The resolution of Mccoy, of Kansas,
introduced yesterday, to the effect that
the proposed trail should not exceed six
miles in width, and at certain given
points should be contracted TO the
width of 100 feet, to admit the building
of arches or bridges, over which cattle
might cross without danger of infection,
was referred back to the committee on
resolutions, without recommendation.
Mccoy moved the adoption of the
resolution as being the sense Of
the convention. He then spoke to his
own motion and said, in substance, that
Kansas did not endorse, nor would her
representatives in congress support, q
trail movement, except with the assur-
ance that congress viii be asked to place
upon 1t the restrictions embodied in the
resolution.
A delegate from Texas amended the
motion so as to refer the subject to a
committee of nine to bo appointed to
present memorial to congress. This
prevailed almost unanimously.
At this point the special committee of
seven, appointed to revise the constitu-
ton and bylaws, appeared and submit
tod unanimous report.
The new constitution embodied the
following changes:
