SUFFRAGE IN MISSISSIPPI.
The New Constitution Not to be SUBJ
mitted to the People.

The New Constitution Not to be Sub-
mitted TO the People.
JACKSON, MISS, Aug. 27.-The constitu-
tional convention went through its usual
routine to-day, and adjourned after less
than an hours session. The franchise COM
mittee was hard at work all day, and made
some pro Tress. The apportlonment branch
of the suffrage question may be settled It
secures white majorities in bo5h houses Of
the legislature, and is reported as being
satisfactory to the delegates from the black
counties.
NOT TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE PEOPLE.
A question has arisen as to whether the
constitution is to be submitted to the people
for ratification. No such submission was
originally contemplated, as the act of the
legislature under which the convention was
called distinctly invests that body with
power TO enact constitution, and an amend
ment offered in tho legislature to submit 10
TO the people for ratification was voted
down. The people who sent the delegates
here understood that the work Of the con-
Yention would be final.
DEMANDED IN SOME QUARTERS.
Now some Of papers in Mississippi are
insisting that the people should be allowed
TO ratify 1t. IL is highly improbable. how
ever, that this will be done, the members
of the convention being impressed with
belief that the votes of those who are not
qualified electors will constantly defeat
ratification Of that instrument. The best
legal lights in the convention are Of the
opinion that under the law submission is
not necessary.

An Effort Being Made to Induce An
gier to Run Against Him.
ATLANTA, GA, Aug. 27.-There is an
other rumor ahoat about opposition to Col
Livingston. Atlanta is largely anti-Liv-
ingston, and it is said several business men
who are democrats called on Angler,
a republican. and offered TO subscribe $500
each toward a campaign fund, IL he would
enter the race against Col. Livingston. Mr.
Angler will probably be nominated by the
republican district convention, which has
been called to meet on Sept. 10, as he is
most prominently mentioned for the place.
He is at present out Of the city and it is
impossible to verify the rumor. The op-
position to Col Livingston is, however,
strong enough TO justify it.
LTvrvGsToN's DELEGATES.
Col l.. +. Livingston has appointed the
following delegates and alternates from Full

gressional convention of the Fifth district,

BUTTERwoRTH's DEFEAT.
Both the Option and the Lard Br
Dead In the Pit.

Both the Option and the Lard Bill
Dead In the Pit.
WASHINGTON, Aug 27.-Representative
Butterworth has given up the option bill
and the compound lard bill for this session.
They have been killed by the filibustering
led by Mr.. Mason of Chicago, who q shortly
to stump Speaker Reeds district for him.
1t is evident that Speaker Reed had made
up his mind to kill the Butterworth option
bill, with the compound lard bill, and so he
permitted flibustering by the republicans,
which he would not have tolerated if
attempted by the democrats Mr.. Butter
worth says the time was consumed need
lessly and without excuse. "You wonder
that this can happen under the revised rules
l find less depends upon the rules than upon
those whose duty it is to enforce them. If
this play had been attempted on the election
bill or the tariff bill it would not have
lasted over one hour. The influences to
defeat these two bills were more powerful
than have ever known to be exerted at the
capital in regard to any measure.

Mason and Cannon, that Mr.: Mason was

Mr.. Cannon's side.
What have you got to do with itn de-
manded Mr., Beckwith.

cause Mr.. Cannon put your name in his list

NOT WILSON'S FIRST ROW.
This is not the first time Mr.. Wilson, who
is very excitable, has had row in the

The extraordinary proceedings in the
House wound up with the scathing reply

faltering explanation, which the House felt
did not explain, and Mr.. Cannon's feeble
retort. Mr.. McAdoo had three-fourths, if
not four-hfths, of the House with him.
Mr.. Cannon will never be candidate for
