CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
1t Reassem bIed Yesterday After a Re-
cess of Several DAYS.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct. IS. TIE South
Carolina Constitutional Convention re-
assembled to-day.
The negro cohabitation question again
came up and the whole question was re
committed, when the convention took a
recess. The provision under cOnsidera-
ton declares that it should be unlawful
for any white person to marry with
any person having negro blood in his
or her veins, and providing for the
punishment of naturalization by the
Legislature. An amendment was intro
duced this morning excepting from the
provisions of the law those people in the
State who, although they have slight
intermixture of negro blood, have the
status of white peopl~. There is much
difference of opinion as to what is best
to be done about this class, and conse-
quently the commission will instruct to
bring in another provision which it is
hoped will meet the approval of every
body.
The rest Of the day was spent in dis
cussing the legislative committees re-
port, the principal action being the re-
lection of provision preventing legisla
tors and judges from being candidates
for any other Office and preventing the
Legislature from passing special laws as
to Incorporating towns, or as to county
government, making such laws general
in this application.
Senator Tillman introduced a resolu-
ton providing for the holding of another
Constitutional Convention in 1916 and
every twenty years thereafter. This was
defeated by vote Of IS to AZ.
The night session of the Constitutional
Convention was devoid of special inter
est, except that in the discussion of
the bill of rig is the convention
struck out the section declaring that the
right of suffrage should not be abridged
on count ofrace, color o previous cond =
ti1~, aud the section declaring that neither
slavery nor involuntary slavery should
exist in the State except as a punish
ment for crime whereof the party shall
have been duly convicted. 1t was urged
that both Of these questions were covered
fully by provisions in the United States
constitution, and as nothing could be
put in the State constitution contrary to
that instrument, the insertion of
these two sections was surplusage.
The negro members tried to get an
aye and nay vote on striking them out,
but they could not get the necessary ten
members to back them in the demand.
A few members wanted to retain the
sections as they believed it would do no
harm to reiterate the principles contained
in them, but an overwhelming majority
on viva voce vote struck out the Sec
tions.
There was a great deal of discussion
on the section providing for ''free and
open" elections. Senator Tillman wanted
to strike out the section and let the suf-
frage committee deal with the question.
The consideration of the section was
postponed until the suffrage question is
disposed of, and it has been made a
special order for next Tuesday.

CONGR EssEs OF RELIGION.
Pope Leo Has Written Letter Gem
demning Them.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 10. Pope
Leo has written an important letter to
the Catholic Hierarchy of America, con
demnipg the assemblage of congresses
of religion. The letter has been deliv-
cred to Archbishop Ryan of this city and
to all other Archbish0ps. 1t was the main
subject considered at the rect Mt as
sembling of the Archbishops at
Washington, but the efforts at secrecy
were successful in keeping the Popes
letter from publicity. What steps the
archbishops took cannot be learned, but
with the views of the ope thus clearly
exp essed, it ia doubtless that the Amer
can church will anathematize congresses
of religio1 in the same way that an ia-
terdictlon was placed on Catholics par
ticipation in the Knights of Pythias,
Odd Fellows and other secret societies.

THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.
New Trustees of the General TheoI0g-
icaI Seminary Named.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI. Oct. 16.-Among
the reports presented to the House Of
Deputies of the Episcopal Convention,
was one from the committee on nOmina-
tions naming as trustees of the General
Theological Seminary all of the old board
and proposing Henry Butt as the success
or of Rev. DR.. Hall, deceased. Majority
and minority reports on the PROPOSE
ton of the bishops to change the title
page of tie Book Commission prayer
precipitated a warm discussion The
bishops desired to insert the words SAC
cording TO the Americansause, - : ca ther
than insert the whole name of the
church. This was interpreted by some
as move toward changing the name
of the church. 1t was also argued that
the revision of the prayer book had
been completed in 1892, and dropped,
and that it would be unwise to take it
up again now.
A vote being taken the deputies refus
ed to concur in the revision. There was
a lively debate over another message
from the bishops recommending the ref
erence of the canons to the present re
vision commission with instructions to
the next convention.
A large element wanted the canons to
90 to the new commission to which the
constitutional revision was referred yes
terday but this was oyerruled in the end
and the action of the bishops concurred
in.

REFORM FOR ARMENIA
THE FINAL DEMANDS OF THE
POWERS ARE ACCEPTED
BY TURKEY.
THE SCHEME THAT OF LAST MAY

Either the Governor or Vice-GOVernOr
ofCertain Provinces is to be a Chris
tian--LOcal Officials to Collect the
Taxes.-COmpIete Change in the Judi
cial System-- Torture Abolished and
the Police Are 10 be Controlled by
Turks and Christians Alike.
C0NSTANTINoPLE, Oct. 16. SO Said Pasha
has accepted the scheme for reform in
Armenia drawn up by Great Britain,
France and Russia, aud it now awaits
the signature of the Sultan. The scheme
is almost identical with the proposals of
last May which, in substance, were that
the Governors and vice Governors of
Van, Erzeroum, Sivas, Bitlas, Khartut
and Trebizond, be Christian or Mussul-
man, according to the inclination of the
population; but either the Governor or
vice Governor is to be Christian, and
the appointments are to be confirmed by
the powers.
Local and State officials are to collect the
taxes and enough money is to be retain
ed before it is forwarded to CONSTANT
nople to pay the expenses of local ad
ministratlon. Complete changes will be
made in the judicial system, torture will
be abolished, the prisons will be under
surveillance, the police will be controlled
by the Christians and Turks alike, and
the laws against compulsory conversion
to Islamism will be strictly enforced.
The Ambassadors of the powers expect
that the whole question will be finally
settled during the course of the week by
the PRONUNCIATION of an imperial decree
Contrary to general expectations, the
high commissioner, who will be charged
with the execution of this scheme, will
be a Christian. This was the hardest
pill for the Porte to swallow, and for a
long time it threatened to bring about
the most serious complications.

For about twenty-three months, says Clapp & Company's weekly letter, the country has suffered from a variety of experiments ts made by party that for the first time in thirty years had con- plete control of our national leg isl ation. Their success in doing the right thing at the wrong time ana the wrong thing st the right time is now historical. They have seemingly preferred any wild method to cover tariff reform deficit rather than foster home industries or reciprocity with foreign nations. The tax collected on foreign importatione has not prevented buying gold on Dor rowed money at D per cent increased rate of interest. Many miners are now devoting their time to digging gold rath- or than silver, which never sold lower than recently quoted. The imports, ex- porte and re-exports of Great Britain as reported by the London Statist for years named indicate their highest ex- pansion of trade was in 1890, 1891, and 1892, and that slight shrinkage in bus iness has been in progress during the past two years. Possibly their loss was in American business.

THE old law recently discoved upon the statute books by the free silver men by which they hope to bring about the coinage of silver in an indirect WAY through the use of Mexican dollars, IS no great discovery after all. Two years ago Mir. F.. l.. Wetmore of this city tried to put this same 1857 law into practical operation by offering Mexican money at the United States postoffice at the rate provided in the law, and was refused. He then sent copy of the law to Sen ator Stewart and called his attention to its provisions, but heard no more about it. Now, however, discovery has been made and the wires have been laden with the many things the silver sena- tors hope to accomplish through this newly found passage through the Tel low sea.

THE New York Worlds almanac for 1895, published by Edward Ii. Best & O., of Boston, Mass, is valuable book. It contains 52S pages, and treats on 1,4O0 topics. The aim of its editors has been to create a standard reference book, and while they may not have sttalned perfection, they feel that they have advanced. The complete, up to- date railway statistics, miscellaneous college information, the taele of indus trial strikes, the new tariff, the income tax law and the comprehensive political features, are things to be had in no other single volume. The almanac IS relief to the mind. It saves troubles of remembering things that one ought to know, and it should be within easy reaching distance of every one who wishes to keep abreast of the times.
