Missis sippfs Convention Still wrest-
ling With the Franchise Problem,

hiSSB SlpplB NOnVenulOn 6J1lk Wr9SC-
ling With the Franchise Problem.
JACKSON. MISS. Sept. %. The conyen-
ton struck another snag to-day, but for
which the suffrage question would have
been finally disposed of before the hour of
adjournment. Everything proceeded
smoothly until section Z of the article on
election of county officers was reached.
This section provides that a general cleo
ton shall be held on the first Tuesday
after the first Monday in November,
1898, and every four years thereafter; pro-
vided, the day OF such election may be
changed by law. The terms of all elective
officers except members of the legislature
are extended 50 as to expire on the first
Monday In January 1894.
EFFECT OF THE CLAUSE.
Under the opera tion of this section all
county officers whose terms expire in Janu-
ary 1899, are granted two years addi-
itonal term of office without the
necessity of an election by the
people. As soon as the section was read
amendments and substitutes began to pour
In, and an animated discussion followed.
Those who opposed the section contended
that the convention had no right to usurp
the power Of the people, in whom alone was
vested the right to elect county officers.
The other side contended that it was
eminently right and proper for the conven-
tion to extend the terms of the present in
cumbents of the offices, 80 as to make them
conform to the new constitutions, which
provides for en- election in November. 1893
RATIFYING THE PEOPLES CHOICE.
The people would not object, because
they were naturally adverse TO frequent
elections, and would cheerfully support the
scheme to prevent them. Those who were
in office now were placed there by the peo-
pie, and the convention would only be rati-
flying their choice.
After a protracted debate a substitute
hostile to the interest and purpose of the
pending section was tabled by vote of 90
to 81, whereupon the convention at 6 o'clock
p. m. adjourned till tomorrow.

Speaker Reeds Visit to Maine Likely
To Be Postponed
Mr.. Burrows of Michigan May Come
In His Place.
The New Surgeon General the Right
Man for the Position.
Especial to the Press.l


WASHINGTON, August 17.-Speaker Reed
has made his plans to take brief vacation
and to be in Maine to address the county
conventions at Portland and Alfred on Tues
day and Wednesday of this week, but the de-
velopment of business in the House is such
as to render it doubtful whether he can leave
his post here. The last weeks work has
been one continuous fight against the flibus-
ters who have found their opportunity in the
absence of a large number of members. The
Speaker has scarcely left his post for ten
minutes any day the past week. The pros
pect of continuance of this state of things
this week is likely, since many of the mem
bers who went to the Grand Army gathering
are journeying leisurely back. In case Mr..
Reed is not able to get away, probably Mr..
Burrows of Michigan will 60. Mr.. Burrows
is one of the leaders of the House, and as a
platform orator has few peers among the

The President has appointed Colonel

ton Post says of the appointment: "The ap-
pointment of Col. ]. ii. Baxter, chief medi-
cal purveyor of the army, to succeed General
JnO. Moore, the retiring surgeon general, is
a highly meritorious as well as just and
rightful promotion that aceords with public
expectation and, in the same measure, will
meet the public approval. DR.. Baxter has
not only filled the position of medical purvey
or with acceptabilfty to the government and
satisfaction to the army for many years past,
but his entire record from the first time he
entered the service at the beginning of the
war, is one Of unbroken fidelity, efficiency
and honor. The President could not well
have done otherwise than extend a recogni-
tion that not only belonged to DR.. Baxter in
natural order of promotion, but which he so
well deserved"
