CONSTITUTIONAL.
CONVENTION
NOW IN SESSION AT THE STATE
CAPITAL.
N.ny,Important Measures Introduced.
The Proceedings from Day
to Day.
THE TENTH DAY.

Although Fridays session Of the Cons:ltu-
tional convention was apparently frivolous
one. full OF good nature and humor, with
nothing Of consequence before it, so Tar as
the general public could see, it was in reality
a session that meant the taking OF longer
step towards the real business for which the
convention was called than the whole of the
so7tnight's public proceedings put together.
The convention was put in position Whers
it can take up some OF the most vitality I'M
portant matters it will have before it. The
committees cn the legislative and executive
GepartnentS, on amendments to the GonStl-
;ution> on finance and taxation and on 1nu-
nicipal corporations and ponce re5usaaens
submitted their reports on all the matters re-
cerred to them under their several heads in
the shape Of articles to the Constitution.
The provisions presented in the several arti-
cles reported have been agreed to by the
committees and on the committees that pre-
oared them are some OF the most prominent
men en- both sides in the convention. Hence
it is Drettysafe to say that there will hardly
be many changes made in the articles as re-
ported. Therefore, viewing the matter 10
enis light, as q good many delegates 40, the
pubici is placed in possession OF good por-
ton of what will likely be put into the new
Constitution. On some Ethings there will
of course be big fights all along the line. The
State constitutional shadow over the dispen-
sary law is removed by the provision on that
subject which has been presented. Charles-
ton is to have one senator on!v, according to
the committees report. 4 constitutional

hitherto been presented, -oey have
been taken to him by side staircases.
Minister Hayashi. however, had been
admorishcd by his Government to IN
sist upon every mark OF respect. He,
therefore, expressed desire that his
credentials should be conveyed to the
Emperor by the steps reserved Tor the

The Questionable Wild Horse.

The most interesting feature of the
other recently discovered member OF
the family Of Equidec, PrejevalsNy's
horse, is its possession of both equine
and asinine characteristics. If, as It
seems generally supposed, this beast
was really a specimen Of a distinct
class, and not On accidental hybrid,
say between the Kiang, or Thibetan
wild ass, and the horse, its existence
would completely break down the
generic distinction which some zoolo-
cists establish between the equine AMI
axiDine groups of Equiaae. But the
evidence of it's existence in any num-
Der is, up to the present tim, not
very weighty, for, although t.:ee or
four other specimens OF similar AMI
NAL are said to have been procured,
there is 10 proof that they were abso-

REMAND CONSERVATIVES AS ONE
They Vote Together Against a Long
Term for Governor, Etc.--An
Advisory Board OF Par
dOnS.

The constitutional convention on
Monday the twelfth Of It's session, be
Gan direct work On tho new consttT-
tion and hnd its first regular debate.
The article taken up was that on the cx-
ecutire department as reported from
the committee. It makes only two
notable changes from the old constltu-
ton, one of these giving the Governor
power to veto part of general ap-
propriation bill, while approving the
other parts, and the other creating IN
advisory board Of pardons, decisions
OF which will not be final without the
approval OF the Governor.
Aa attempt WAS made to amend the
section by making terms of State OIL,
GERS four years instead OF two, and
making the Governor Ineligible for i'm
mediate reelection. After a debate
participated in by several Of the lead
inc members, including Senator Till
man and Ex-Governor Sheppard, who
was lis opponent for Governor in the
bitter campaign of 1892 and ex-Con-
cressman Johnstone, the amendment
was killed by avote of 81 to At. Till
man and Sheppard both opposed the
amendment, while Johnstone favored 1t.
A majority Of the Conservatives, or
anti. Tiliman members, voted with ILL.,
man for short term.
As about fifty members we're absent,
an attempt will be made to take up
this question again on motion to re-
consider.
The convention adjourned before
completing the executive article. From
the progress made, it is evident that
the convention will be IN session at
least two weeks longer.
This was the last day for the intro
duction of proposed new ordinances
and there was flood OF them, al being
referred to appropriate committees.

The frequency Of collisions at sea
and their fatal results have led to many
Investigations ana experiments i'll The
line OF water tight compartments. 1t
is one thing to build e vessel with air
chambers that will hoat ii, ara quite
another to have safety appliances
always in order and ready for emer-
cencies. 1t has been said that certain
Of tour large passenger steamships have,
on occasions, turned the water tight
compartments into places for steerago
passengers. Their greed ran away
with their common hnmau!ty and re.
gard for the lives Of those on board.
It certainly is a waste OF time and en-
ersy to prepare the means OF safety at
great expense when proper care is
not taken to keep them within avail
