SUFFRAGE IN LOUISIANA.
The Constitutional Convention Has
Adopted Plan.

ahbpt"u Pfnu.
New Orleans, March 25.-By vote OF
90 to 2s, with II delegates absent, the
Louisiana constitutional convention today
adopted suffrage plan. The convention is
almost solidly democratic and the avowed
purpose was to eliminate the negro from
Louisiana politics. The measure adopted,
by providing for educational and property
qualifications and poll tax, is presumed
TO answer the purpose effectively At the
same time 1t was desired TO let in as many
white people as possible, and this is ac-
complshed by eXempting naturaliZed yot-
ers as well as those who were voters In
1867, with their sons and grandsons. The
latter clause was advised against by Sena-
tors McEnery and Gallery. who said they
had consulted the ablest constitutional
lawyers in congress and found them unani-
nous on its unconstitutionality, These
opinions led to its being abandoned, but
the convention was so hopelessly divided
upon the subject that it was finally decided
to reinstate the clause and take the risk.

AMERICANS BELIEVE SPANIARDS

Which Is Regarded by Americans
as Hopeful Sign That They VIII

ed.
Paris, Nov. 23.-There was no joint ses-
sion of the peace commissions to-day, the
Spanish commissioners requesting a post
ponement until Instructions from Madrid
may be received. The date of the next
meeting has not been settled upon.
The fun text of the American ultimatum
has not yet been received at Madrid but
the commissioners telegraphed its purport
Monday night, which was enough to en-
able the Spanish ministers to instruct
their commissioners to retire. if such were
their intentions
The postponement of the meeting to-day
is regarded by the Americans as a hope
full sign that the treaty win be signed.
In fact, the belief was confidently ex-
pressed by several of the American COM
missioners in a conversation with the As
sociated Press correspondent that before
the expiration of the time signlf1ed by the
Americans, which is Monday next the
Spaniards will acquiesce in the United
States offer regarding the Philippines, and
that ultimately the treaty win be signed
by all the Spanish commissioners.
will follow is still uncertain, but, not
withstanding his discordant attitude and
his continuous plays to the gallery, the
Americans believe he will sign the treaty
with the other Spaniards.
Even should he decline to do so, It is
not likely that his refusal will cause Sc
rious trouble, as his place on the COM
by Senor Leon Castillo the Spanish am
bassador here.
Senor Montero Rios sent a communica-
tion to the Americans last evening in
which he asked a number of questions.
The most important of them, and to get
an answer to which the letter was un-
doubtedly written, was tucked away in
the middle of the letter. 1t asked, in ef-
feet, If the Americans really meant that
the ultimatum must be answered bv
Monday. The Spaniards were assured that
such was the intent, and the answer has
cleared the air.
A member Of the Spanish commission
4 to-day assured the correspondent of the
Associated Press that the next meeting of
the commissioners will take place on Fri
day or Saturday, and that Spain's answer
then will be the last she will make. and
that it will be a definite conclusion of the
matter i'm hand.
This utterance is looked upon as indicat-
ing that Spain will sign the treaty of
peace.
