MlsslsslPPrS CONVENTION.

frage-"A Remonstrance."
rBy telegraph TO tho Dispatch.l

JACKSON. MIss., September 3.-The Con-
stitutional Convention met at $3.50 this alter
noon and resumed consideration OF the
report OF the Committee on Penitentlary
providing for the abolition of the convict
leasing system. After two hours debate
the following provso was adopted: >,
Provided, that nothing herein contained
shall prohibit the Legislature from author-
izing the employment under State super
vision Of convicts by any levee board on
anv public levees under such provisions
and restrictions as it may from time TO
time see proper 70 impose. Provided tur-
Their, that SAID convicts shall not be let 10
any contractor under said board.
A great many of those who voted for TINS
proviso. although opposed to the leasing
of convicts even TO levee boards, did so
upon the theory that il is unwise to for
ever tie the hands of the Legislature on q
penitentiary system that has not yet passed
It's experimental stage. IL Is argued that
while the Legislature may refuse to sane
ton the employment of cOnyicts on levee
works. IL is not proper 10 give them power
to do so. inasmuch a. 1t may happen that
the prison-farm scheme will prove fall
uTe.
The convention at p. VI. adjourned
without final disposition Of the penlten-
tiary clause. u,
The Franchises Committee decided
unanimously to-day to vote as n unit IN
favor of its report on the suffrage ques-
ton. Up to this time the convention has
been deluged with tracts in favor of wo-
man suffrage published Under the auspices
| of tho Womans Suffrage Association. To-
day counter-blast appeared in the shape,
| of a document entitled "A kemonstrance'
covering four pages Of printed matter
| Every member of the convention was iur,
nished with a copy. The RemOnstrance
is an exact copy of the circular against wo'
man suffrage which was extensively dis
| tributed among the voters OF South Dakota
recently, and consisted of extracts from
the writings Of Goodwin Smith and others
| together with statistics bearing upon the
| fate of the woman-suffrage movement al
the hands of the Legislatures of Vermont

Discovery Near Beyrout.

A correspondent writes to us: San
English lady resident In Syria reports
the following interesting discovery in
the neighborhood of Beyrout. In a vii.
lage about one hours ride from the
great French road between Beyrout
and Damascus was found a bedstead
made of gold and silver and inlaid with
precious stones. An inscription upon
II In English characters states that It
belonged to Eleanor, queen Of Eng.
land. The bedstead was discovered In
q little zee dug out for the purpose
within a natural cave. and must have
been placed there for security when
Edward | left the east In 1917. The
Turkish government has taken posses.
sion Of the treasure trove, though the
prevailing opinion in the district seems
to be that It should remain the property
of the man on whose land It was found.
II would be interesting to know what
the Turks propose to do with Il. But
II the inscription calls Eleanor queen
Of England the words cannot have
been placed upon It before Edward
left Syria, as he did not hear Of his IA,
theirs death until he reached Italy.
There can, however, be little doubt
that the bedstead has been buried In
the earth for the last six centuies."-
