Mississippi Constitutional Convention.

JACKSON, MISS, Aug. 21.-In the
constitutional convention to-day Dele
gate John W. Jewell spoke in support
of a proposition offered by himself to
confer suffrage upon women. Mr..
Jewell g resolution read as follows:
Resolved, that as the sense OF this
convention that it il a condition neces-
sary to the solution of the franchise
problem that the right to vote shall bs
secured by proper constitutional enact
ment to every woman who shall have re-
sided In this state six months and who
shall be twenty-one years of age or
upwards and who shall own
or whose husband, if she have hus-
band, shall own real estate situated in
this state of the clear value OF $500 over
and above all enonmbrance. The votes
of every woman voting in any election
shall be cast by some male elector who
shall be thereunto authorized in writing
by such woman so entitled to vote, such
constitutional enactment not to be
framed so as to grant to woman the right
to hold Office.
Under the rules the resolution should
have gone to the committee on cleo
ton franchise. but by unanimous
consent Jewell was allowed
support of his resolution. Mr.. Jewell
made the most of his opportunity, and in
a speech OF twenty minutes duration
made deep impression on all his hear
ers. He urged that special committee
be appointed to report upon the
question, but the committee on
elective franchise regarded such ref
erence with the instructions suggested
as infringing upon the prerogatives of
the elective franchise committee. and
after two hours discussion Mr.. Fewell
struck out the Objectionable clause of his
resolution and had it referred the usual
way.
Delegate Hudson of Yazoo also
offered an amendment providing
for female suffrage, with property and
educational qualifications. This plan
also embraces the Australian ballot sys-
tenn. The woman suffrage idea is grow
ing IN favor among the best minds of the
convention, and unless safety from negro
supremacy can be reached BY other
methods Mr.. Fewell's plan, or a similar
one to it, will be adopted.

cussion of the resolution, giving quasi
Endorsement to the sub-treasury bill.
Ben Terrell, who fsvors the bill
and who spoke two hours IL

1t was adopted, however, this morn
ing. motion to reconsider was
read and hot debate on it
ensued. 1t prevailed to this extent:

gress in the meantime enaots it into
law.

Vanderbilts and Changers Take the Lead In

List Accompanying.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-The depression
in Wall street for some time past, owing
to the possibility of an extensive spread
of labor strikes, added to an active and
stringent money market, was greatly
augmented this morning by the decision
of the leaders of the various organiza-
tons Of railway employees to recommend
general strike on all lines of the
Vanderbilt system. There is also
possibility that the strike fever
will prove contagious, and extend to
other i'm portant lines outside of those
now threatened. The employees of the
Pennsylvania and Illinois Central systems
are reported to be uneasy, and are liable
at any moment TO make demand which
will result in trouble on those lines. The
entire list was raided, and the price de-
clined, under the lead of Vanderbilts
and Changers. London was a buyer at
the decline, but sold again later. A de-
cline of %@1a per cent. was quickly
scored throughout the list, with excep-
tional declines of over per cent. in
Rock Island, Lake Shore and
Manhattan. After the first
furry an attempt to cover short sales in
some quarters caused partial reaction.
The active and abnormally stringent
rates for money, however, soon over
Swallowed the labor troubles, and further
large declines were recorded. Many
stop orders were reached on the decline.
At 1880 a. m. % per cent. was bid for
money, with none offered. From that
on the rate was rapidly marked up to
50@60 per cent, and at 12:40 o. m.
mission, and interest equal to SO per
cent. at the same time loan of $780,
900 was reported at 8 per cent on govern
ment bonds. Later loans were made at
3 per cent. commissions and interest,
which was the highest rate for the day.
Initiate dealings there was better supply
of money, and the rate dropped to per
cent, at which figure the last loan
was made. The bears continued to press
the sale of stocks during the afternoon,
and forced the liquidation of considera-
bic long stock. Stop orders were sue
cessfuliy reached for at every valuable
point, and the value OF stocks continue
to shrink numerically. Rock Island
was knocked Is at clip. In late deal
ings there was partial recovery, owing
TO the easier condition of the money
market. The closing was quiet and
steady. The financial situation was
the subject of consideration at the
treasury department at Washington
to-day. The acting secretary stated
that he appreciated the situation and
that 1t was probable some action would
be taken late in the day that would give
relief to the money market. The mar
ket was strong. exchange was weak and
feverish, as Is usual when the rate for
call moEey rules exceptionally high.
Bankers have taken advantage Of the
situation to make q number of sterling
loans to brokers who are carrying stocks,
and these bills have been sold at conces-
sions from posted rates, causing a
somewhat feverish condition. Commercial
bulls were few and drawers were awaiting |

UvALDE, TEX, Aug. 21.-Last night
Deputy Sheriff Baylor and City Marshal
Olds arrested young man giving his
name as VIII Pearson for carrying pis-
toll. When arrested he tried to get the
pistol, but was prevented from so dong.
After proceeding about hfty yards he
jumped back, made movement as if to
draw weapon and told the officers to
stand back, and as Mr.. Baylor was ad-
vapcing on him told him not to move, as
he had an "even break with him.
Mr.. Baylor then fired, the ball taking
effect in the arm, infiicting a flesh
wound. Pearson exonerates the officers
from blame, and says he thought he
might get away. He states there are
two indictments against him in Falls

Special to the Gazette


Special 70 the Gazette
LONDON, Aug. 21.-The most con-
spiouous battle in the perennial war be-
tween labor and capital is just at present
that which is raging between the ship
owners and their employees. For q
long time the ship owners have COM
planned that they were subjected
to needless and harassing dlctation
from the workmen g IN ions and that all
their efforts to secure a more reasonable
course OF action were fruitless. The at
titude of the men has been influenced
apparently by the success of the dock
mems strike, and they seem imbued
with the idea that they are masters of
the situation and can force their de-
mands at will. One of the latest phases
OF the situation is a project put forth by
the deekmen' g union to have vessel own
ers deal directly with them instead of
through tbs middlemen. The union
would in that case receive q lump sum
the amount of the men g wages, and the
usual profit in addition, which would be
equivalent 10 q declded increase in the
compensation of workers. The scheme
Is, for various reasons, objectionable to
all parties
EXCEPT THE WORkMEN
and 1t has slight chances of maturing.
The shipowners moved to concerted sc-
tion by this and many other obnoxious
demands or the workmen Is union, have
now formed strong union COM
bination among themselves for
the purpose of resisting unwar-
rantsd demands on the part OF
she men, and regaining their former
privilege OF managing their own busl-
ness as they see fit. Their determined
attitude has increased the friction al
ready existing, and the trouble may
resch critical stage at any moment.
The ship owners forming the union have
joint capital of $500, 900, 00c.
The Wild West show, which was exhib-
Ting IN Berlin, met with very little sue
