State Conventions of Both
Parties Held Tomorrow.
Republicans Will Meet at Music Hall,
Democrats on South Main Street.
Charles Warren Lippitt and George l..
Littlefield Are to Head the Tickets.

Tomorrow forenoon the state con-
vention of the Republican and Democratic
paroles will be held at IL O'Clock, the Re-
publicans at Music Hall and the Democrats
at Infantry Hall.
There is no question today nor has there
been for several weeks as TO what the
action will be in both meetings.
The Republicans are gong TO put up
strong ticket of the men who will be
elected or reelected, as the case may be,
on April 3, and the Democrats are
going to go through the
form of nominating their candidates
having at last found five gentlemen who
viii, for the sake of appearances, run for
the Offices that they are morally certain
they won't get and which no one in any
party expects them TO secure.
There Is no one feature OF either con-
vention the outcome of which is now
doubtful, except possibly the trifiing de-
tail as to who will preside at Music Hall.
Neither body will be troubled with con-
testing delegations and the harmony
incidental TO an assured repetition of
victory will characterize the one and the
gloomy, anything-will-d l-do-now sort OF
resignation will prevent anything like a
difference of opinion in the other.
The Democrats have had their excite
ment beforehand aud IL was OF the variety
that made assurance of defeat doubly
sure. In the city of Providence there
was the spectacle OF limited representa-
tion of the local Democracy resolving
to condemn the leaders of the State or
ganization; in the city of Pawtucket
another group condemned the Prov
idence people for condemning Owen
and Honey and last night
the leader of the Pawtucket
Democrats deserted them by handing in
his resignation as chairman of their city
committee for the reason that there is no
united support.
The constitutional amendment provid-
ing for biennial elections will be endorsed
by the Republicans on their platform, and
as a matter OF course denounced by the
Democrats.
Hon. Samuel X. Honey of Newport will
preside at Infantry Hall.
The nominees will be as follows:
RepubllcaDs-For Governor, Charles
w. Lippitt of Providence; for Lieutenant
Governor, Edwin X. Allen of Hopkinton !;
for Secretary of State, Charles p. Bennett
Of Providence; for Attorney General, Ed
ward Q. Dubois of East Providence; for
General Treasurer, Samuel Clark of
Lincoln. -,
Denocrats-For Governor, George l..
Littlefield of Pawtucket; for Lieutenant
Governor, Augustus ). Miller of Provi-
dence; for Secretary OF State, George w.
Greene OF Woonsooket; for Attorney
General, George Il. Brown of Providence;
for General Treasurer, William Spencer of
Warwick.

The System in Use in Rhode
Island Being investigated.
A Legislation Commission Has the
Matter Under Consideration.
Representatives Pointed Ont Defects
at a Meeting This Morning.

The entire system of taxation in the
ough investigation at the hands Of the
commission appointed at the last May
session of the General Assembly.
Today they were in consultation at the
State House with City Solicitor Colwell,
Alderman Harris, Councilman Parkhurst
and Tax Assessors Rhode and Arlington,
and there was very general discussion of
the somewhat mixed up state OF affairs
that the State has been trying
to readjust since 1875. In that,
year there was commission appointed by
the Legislature. In the following year
that commission presented to the General
Assembly bill for an act
providing for all the exemption previously
allowed and more in addition. Tho
bill was passed and has been in force ever
since with further amendments added
this year, but there are some very serious
defects in it so far as what kind of prop
erty shall be exempt and to remedy these
the commission was appointed at
the last Newport session. The members
are Henry Il. Root and j. G. b. Woods OF
Providence; William p. Buffum of New
port; Alfred w. Kenyon OF Richmond and
Philippe Boucher of Woonsocket. The
members of the special COMMITTEES
appointed to look after the interests Of
Providence in the Assembly and who are
particularly Interested in this special
question of taxation are Aldermen Harris
and Pierce and Councilmen Parkhurst,
John Il. Kendrick, Durfee and Moore.
The general subject of taxation Is under
consideration, but the special point DE-
sired is to make the law relative to ex
emption satisfactory.
AT today's meeting City Solicitor Col
well and Mr.. Parkhurst contended that
the exemption of churches or any other
property outside of public schools
was unconstitutional. Mr.. Rhodes
and Mr.. Arlington suggested several
amendments that would enable tax asses.
sors to provide for special cases wherein
the taxation law is now obscure.

BROWN UNIVERSITY.

Term examinations will begin Saturday
morning, all recitations ceasing on the
day before. Examination will be held In
Sayles Hall or in the gymnasium with the
the exception of one oral examination in
University Hall. This procedure is an 1T.
tempt toward totally eliminating dig
honesty of any kind during the course OF
the examinations. Personal supervision
will be another element OF the scheme.
The faculty, after due consideration
given The petition of the senior class ask.
ing for the abolishmept of commencement
oratlons, have decided that it was not
within their jurisdiction and that 1t must
await the judgement of the corporation at
its next meeting in June. As the meeting
does not occur until after commencement,
there can be no change in the usual order
OF exercises for that day.
The first regular meeting Of the newly
formed Classical Society of Brown Uni
versity will be held this afternoon at 4:30
in Sayles No. /. Papers concerning the
"Repu bile of Plato" will be read by,
Messrs. Bennett, Shippee and Young A.
by Miss Bonner.
A subscription is being circulated
among the Brown men, to aid the family
of the late Thomas Nelson, injured in the
College Hill explosion.
The faculty have passed several restric-
tions relating To the Glee, Banjo and
Mandolin Club that are causing much
dissatisfaction. The first OF these applies
to the Easter trip contemplated by
the club, and requires that every
member of the club register in
person on the first day of next term. This
will materially interfere with the eastern
trip to the detriment of. the organization.
The second restriction says that all dates
must in future be submitted to the Ath-
letic Advisory committee. Such regu-
lation will most seriously hamper tSe
freedom of the club management and
greatly injure the financial status.

exhibition are selling rapidly and promise

ACKN 0WLEDGE The CORN.
InsuranceCompany Regrets Misplaced
Confidence in a Man.

The Aquidneck Mutual Insurance Com
pany of Newport has at last found out
who was responsible for the nom payment
of the insurance polices issued
through Richardson x Randall. The
following letter was received by
Max Perylman, the clothing dealer at III
South Main street, who says that all of
the dissatisfied policy holders have been
likewise notified:
sIR-In reply to your favor of the 7th inst.
relative TO your policy we have TO say that
the premium has been paid TO Mr.
Richardson OF whom we have never
been able TO collect one cent of all
the fire business written by HIM. We will
recognize the liability under our policy and
the same remains in full force. Mr.. Richard
son has written us To the effect that he
will settle with sus within few
days. IL he does not II will no way interfere
bring an action against him to recover
funds in his hands belonging 20
the company. We regret the misplaced
confidence we had In the man. Yours respect
fully, CLARENCE A. HAMMETT.
March ~, 1895
Mr. Perylman has decided to let the
matter drop where it Is, believing in the
company's good faith and financial con-
dition, although when he wrote the
letter 10 which the foregoing is a reply,
he demanded the return OF his premium
money.
IL IS understood that Randall was dis
satisfied with his partners doings and
that is why he severed the connection.

REVISION OF The STATUTES.
Judiciary Committees Of Senate and
House at Work During the Recess.


House at Work During the Recess.
The commissioners appointed in May
1890, for the revision of the public
statutes of 1882, and to incorporate with
them the enactments of the last
dozen years, have practically
completed their work and it
il is now in the hands of the judiciary
committee of the Senate and House.
These two committees are hard at work
holding joint sessions and going through
the stat utes, as arranged by the commits
sioners, chapter by chapter.
In the revision the same arrangement
has been preserved that was originated by
Judge Ames in the Revised Statutes OF
1857, and adhered to in the General
Statutes of 10 and the Public Laws of 1872.
The recently adopted judiciary act,"
which comprises three titles of the collec-
tion Of State laws, has not been changed
TO any material extent.
Chapter 1904 concerning the rights
of married women has been
changed, or rather change has
been suggested. that will de-
fine those rights. The original act
merely provides in an indefinite sort of a
way that the rights of married woman
shall be the same as those of man.
According to the revision these
rights are to be enumerated
and clearly specified independently
of reference to or comparison with the
rights of other individuals. And that
special case is indicative of the entire
work done by the commissioners. Their
aim has been to simplify the laws by cut
ting out unnecessary and inconsistent
clauses, and to elucidate the obscure
points.
A practically new scheme for corpo-
rative law has been suggested by the
commissioners but it does not altogether
meet the approval of the Assemblymen
on the two committees. The other more
important sections in which changes will
certainly be made are those in relation to
insolvency, real and personal property
probate.
The members of the committee expect
to complete their consideration of the
subject in time to bring IL before the
present Legislature and it is probable that
very soon after April 8 there will be re-
commended the passage OF bill for an
act comprising the general laws of the
State.
The militia law is being considered by
separate commission. The commission
ers on the revision are William G. Roel-
ker Joseph c. Ely and Henry w Hayes
Isaac Southwick is the secretary.

A BIGGER CHANNEL.
Advantage to Vessels Passing Up the
Pawtucket River.

The bonds of the Union Bridge Com
pany of New York having been approved,
that company gets the contract for the
new Red Bridge. In this connection
comes the encouraging news
that the Secretary of War has for
warded communication to
City Engineer Shedd stating that the
city's appeal hal been granted for per-
mission To dredge the channel while the
old Red Bridge is demolished, thus Civ
ing double the waterway capacity over
the former arrangement. The old bridge
was orig inally built on piers on the sand
bar and the channel was so narrow
that the fall of tide meant
eight inches. After dredging
and widening the tide the fall will be but
about two inches because of the increased
headWay.

It il an old saying that "a thing of

The regular attendants al the Sixth
district Court began to be little uneasy
when the clock neared the hour of 10 and
Judge Cooke had not put in
his appearance this morning,
and gladness was in their hearts
when they saw that gentleman come

His Honor entered the main building via

court room he seemed TO be pleased.
The chairman of city property COM
