AGAINST THE AMENDMENT.
RHODE ISLAND VOTERS REFUSE TO CHANGE
THEIR CONSTITUTION.

RHODE ISLAND VOTERS REFUSE TO CHANGE
THEIR CONSTITUTION
Providence, Sept % (SpeciaDSThe election TO-
day on an amendment to the Constitution. provid-
ing for biennial elections and other changes in the
organic law Of Rhode Island resulted in the over
whelming defeat OF the proposition. The MAORI
ties against the amendment were so general In
town and county as TO show that the sentiment Of
the voters was decidedly against 1t, without regard
to party. The city of Providence. which was de-
pended upon TO give a large vote in favor OF the
amendment cast 2950 votes for and 3ji5 against it.
The proposed amendment provided: First, for the
election of all State officers and members OF the
General Assembly once In two years: second. for
making the Lieutenant-G Governor the presiding
officer of the Senate instead OF the Governor Incl
dentaly depriving that official of the vote OF n
Senator, which he now has; and. third, for the
election OF Representatives in cities by wards, in
stead Of general ticket.
While the people In the cities generally favor
biennial elections. that question was so weighted
down by riders that many men who strongly
advocate fewer elections voted against the amend
ment In the country towns there was resentment
against an attempt to take away the spring town
against the proposition account OF its lessening
their chances to make money The vote to-day was
very light.
With only four small towns to hear from. the
vote stands ISL for the amendment and lib
against IL. AS three-ffths vote was required the
amendment lacks these figures, 1851 OF passage.
\ biennial amendment pure and simple sub
mitted at the Presidential election in 1892 and.
while IT had a majority Of 1872 1t lacked s45 of the
necessary three-fifthS.

JOHN B. MANNJNG EXPELLED.
ACTION BY THE GOVERNING COMMITTEE
OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE.

HE WAS CHARGED WITH ERAsING ENDORSEMENTS
on BONDS -PosTPoNEMENr or THE SUGAR
TRUST STATEMENT QUESTION.
The Governing Committee OF the Stock Ex-
change last evening expelled John B. Manning
from that body. The committee was in session
from $3.50 p. m. TO p. m, and went fully into the
matter in which Mr. Manning. as already report
ed In The Tribune. was charged with having
moved the Endorsements on five Union Pacific
Railroad bonds in order to make them appear
clean"
Mr. Mannngs office Is at No IA wall-st.. and
his home at No. 1S4 West Thirty-fourth-st. He
has been known a buyer of frst-class securi
ties at auction sales at which he received the
five bonds in question. When he bought them
they were indorsed the complainant against him
alleged. and while he held them. 1t was further
asserted, these Endorsements removed by
chemicals otherwise Nh Manning is report
ed to be a millionaire.
After the committee adjourned last evening its
action was made public through George W. Ely,
the secretary of the Exchange. He said: THE
rules require two-thrds vote for expulsion for
fraud and the Governing Committee is the judge
of the fraud Mr.. Manning appeared before the
committee and made a statement. After hear
ing him and duly Weighing the evidence the COM
mittee have expelled him by the required two
thirds vote. | prefer not to say whether the ac-
ton unanimous. The expulsion is made
under Article XVII Of the constitution of the En-
change"
The five bonds were sold by Mr.. Manning to
Asiel & Co., of Exchange Place. but Mr.. Ely said
that they were not the complanants against the
broker.
The committee also took up the question wheth-
the Sugar Trust should be called on to make
a statement of its financial condition. 1t will be
three years next January since any report of the
kind has been made by the Trust The opinion Is
general and is emphatic, that such a statement
should be demanded of the Trust by the Govern
ing Committee, in view of the peculiar methods
of the Trust.
Mr. Ely said that this question had gone over
for the present. 1t is understood that the long
session over the Manning inclined the COM
mittee to defer the Sugar Trust matter. at least
until It's next meeting.

seemed TO be a studied attempt by Mr.. Hill TO
treat with contempt and insult the various bodies

formed him that he withdrew his name as a cand..

based his withdrawal in mis- talk with Mr.. Hill

representation In the convention. The particular
minute when Mr.. Griffin made this unwelcom.
announcement to Mr. Hill is also interesting Mr.
Hill was seated In the convention hall in ths
centre aisle and was watching with keen emotions
