Virginia Arranged For.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 1.-THE fourth an
nual convention of the Daughters of the
Confederacy resumed its sessions to-day,

admission of the grand division of Vir-
ginia. 1t was voted that the division

the consolidation. The grand division
preserves its organization intact. but also
pays the usual tax required of each mem
Der of the united society, which entities
every chapter of the grand division to a
full representation in the united conven-
tions. The grand division is represented
by It's president, Mrs. James Mercer Gar
nett second vice president; Mrs. ID. ".
Randolph, president of the Richmond
chapter; Mrs. J. N. Bardy, president of
the Fredericksburg chapter; Mrs. Il. Il.
Meredith, president of the Manassas
chapter; Mrs. Mary Curtis Lee of Lexng-
ton, and Mrs. McIlhaney of j. e. Stuart
chapter, Staunton.
Upon returning from Pikesville the dele
gates reassembled at Lehmann's hall and
went into executive session, for the pur-
pose of electing officers for the ensuing
year. At late hour tonight they were
still in session and. II was said that moth
ing of public interest had as yet been
done. and that IL was probable that no
