AFTERNOON SESSION,
On the Tide Lands Question Amend
ments Are Made.

The convention met at O'Clock, the
president in the chair.
Eldredge moved that the article on
tide lands be taken up.
This Is the article which by two sepa-
rate roll.calls this morning the conven-
ton refused 10 consider to-day.
The chair ruled that this could not be
done save bv suspension of the rules
Eidredge moved To suspend the rules
for that purpose.
Crowley moved to amend by institute
ing "school lunds.'
Tho chair ruled that this motion was
not amcndable.
On Eldredgc's motion the roll was
again called, for the third time to-day,
and this time il worked through-aves
53 noes 10; so the article reported in
the morning was read.
Jones offered an additional section
providing that the legislature may
donate 10 the United States such tracts
of shore or other lands as may be neces-
sary for deiensc--forts arsenals, dock
yards, etc. being the same provision
that stands in section ! of the article
which was rejected yesterday. Jones
asked a roll call on this proposition, and
nfter it was over his additional section
was - part of the article by ayes 49,
noes Is.
Turner called attention TO certain
sUPEEfLuots WORDS
In the section just adopted.
Jones admitted IL, saying that in the
haste of making his amendment he bad
overlooked it, so he agreed that all that
provision in the latter half of the Sec
don regarding the price, disposition,
otc., of granted lands be stricken out,
snd by vote of the convention it was
stricken ont.
Roll call was had, and Turner's propo-
sition failed by 4s 10 Z.
Turner, without any desire to provoke
a debate, offered as substitute for the
entire article, the section which he
offered, and which failed yesterday, be-
ing declaration of
THE sTATEs TITLE

waters, and Il declaration against the
