CONVENTION ADOPTS
 SUFFRAGE ARTICLE
It Contains the Educational Qual- ification Which Has Caused
 Such Commotion.

New Orleans, March 25.-At an early hour this morning the constitutional con- vention practically adopted the suffrage article which is to become a part of the new constitution.
 The convention decided to write into the constitution section 5, which has aroused such fierce antagonism and which Is de- clared by at least ten of the leading mem- bers of the United States senate to be un- constitutional.
 The suffrage proposition will come up this afternoon on the third reading and for debate. and of course it may undergo some changes, but the likelihood is that 1t will be finally voted upon favorabiy, the vote of this morning of S5 to 45 indicating the present temper of the convention with respect to it.
 The suffrage article makes voters of citizens of the state and of the United States. native born or naturalized, who have lived in the state two years, in the parish one year and in the voting precinct In which they offer to vote six months
 The new constitution generally Is to be- come effective at the beginning of next year. The voter must be able to read and write in his mother tongue or English,

CRISIS HAS ALREADY PASSED

Cincinnati, March 25.-All over the Ohio valley the sun has shown today and the sky tonight is clear and the weather mild. As far as the loss of life and property in Ohio is concerned, that is all over. The want and desolation in the track of the storm are sadly manifest The greatest damage to homes seems to have been at Dayton and zanesville. In these two places heads of families have been driven from homes and made dependent upon public charity. which has been bounteously be- slowed. In Dayton one building association holds mortgages on 200 inundated homes.
 The Ohio river is rising at all points from Parkersburg to Cairo. At Cincinnati at 10 o'clock tonight the stage was 53 3-1O feet a rise of four-tenths of a foot in four hours which rate Is maintained. A stage of 5S feet will be reached here.

any chance of getting away from the Span ish torpedo boat destroyers. The Iowa, New York and Indiana, lying out there six miles off the land would practically be at the mercy of say a dozen Spanish tor pedo boats, which could run over from Porto Rico in a short time should war be declared. We have no protected harbor here and we have not single torpedo de- stroyer, and unless a fleet powerful enough to be proof against these torpedo boats is quickly concentrated in these wa ters, or unless the Spanish fotila is warned to keep further away l should judge that it would be better to take every United States war ship far away as possible from this menacing force which Spain in tends to concentrate within such a con- venient distance as Porto Rico.
 Tt is all very well to talk of peace and to say that there is no probability of war, but, at the same time while international relations are strained, displays of force should be met with and as torpedo expert, I must say that if every ship in the United States navy was brought to these waters it would be none too formidable display when the strength of the Spanish fotlla is considered

and must make his application to register in his handwriting; or, if he is not able to read and write, he must own property to the value of $500.
 All who were voters in 1867 or prior there- to, and their sons and grandsons are given the right to register and vote without any other qualification, provided they have lived in the state five years prior to the election at which they may offer to vote, and provided they shall register before Sept. 1 of the present year.
 Under the same conditions of residence persons of foreign birth who have been naturalized before the end of the current year may register and vote. A poll tax provision as a prerequisite to voting Is in- corporated in the constitution, but 1t be- comes effective only after the next general election in Louisiana in 1900.
 In all political conventions in the state opportionment or representations shall be on the basis of population. These are the main provisions of the constitution, which its promoters believe will have the effect of enfranchising majority of the whites in legal way. and of dlsfranchising a majority of the blacks in a legal way.

Senator Pritchard, of North Carolina, be- came prominent in the cooperative move ment in North Carolina, the success of which resulted in his election to the Unit ed States senate to fill the term of the late Senator z. B. Vance. He was reelected to the senate in 1887.
 Mrs. Pritchard's testimonial to her faith in Paine's celery compound is reproduced above
 Below Is a testimonial received from the wife of United States Senator Warren, of Wyoming, whose distinguished services for the country's best farming interests are so we'll known.
 "I was persuaded to try your Paine's eel cry compound in the early spring, when in very rundown condition The duties de- yolving upon the wife of an official in pub lie life are naturally very exhausting and I was tired out and nervous when I com menced using the remedy. I take pleasure in testifying to the great benefit received from its use, and can truthfully say that Il am in almost perfect health again. If I ever find myself running down again, I

STAINS DESTROYERS COULD D0 DAMAGE Naval Officers Talk of the Con- ing of the Torpedo
 FIoti|Ia.

Key West, Fla, March 25.-It was not until today that the news of the departure of the Spanish torpedo fleet from the Can ary Islands was broken among the naval officers here. It created intense feeling. especially among the officers of the torpedo boats, which are in the harbor. One of the most prominent officers said today: "If the United States allows the Spanish boats to get to Porto Rico, it will be the biggest mistake ever made They are grealter menace to the safety of our fleet than if the rest of the Spanish navy was brought to these waters. At Porto Rico they will be nearer Key West than Cuba. Only two torpedo boats in our navy would nave

 It is now time, if ever, to get health and strength.
 Nothing should now interfere with build ing up weakened nerves and purifying the blood.
 Now Is the time of year when rheuma- dsm and neuralgia must be cured, when debility and nervousness must be checked, when bad health must be mended-if one hopes ever to get well.
 It Is not that rheumatism, neuralgia in> somnia, and kidney troubles are hard to cure-Paine's celery compound has made host of sufferers well-but people make themselves chronic invalids by neglecting the early symptoms of disease.
 Thousands of lives that are now fast wearing out would be prolonged if Paine's celery compound were in each instance used to stop those ominous pains over the kidneys, to build up the rundown, nervous strength, and cure permanently those more and more frequently recurring attacks of headache and indigestion

Portsmouth, :, March 25.-The Ohio river passed the danger Mne at 10 o'clock today. At o'clock tonight 1t was fifty-three feet and rising at the rate of four inches an hour. Mill and East Front streets are flooded and people are moving out. Sever al large manufacturing establishments have been compelled to shut down.
 The Indications are that the river will reach fifty-eight feet, which will put 1t in the center of the town.

The Crisis Is Past

Zanesville, O., March 25.-The flood crisis is past, the water having receded Inches since 10 o'clock this morning, after 1t had stood stationary for twelve hours. Two railroads have been partially operated to- day, but others unable to resume op- eratfons for several days yet, their tracks still several feet under water
 The city is still in utter darkness, as the water must fall four feet before the light plant can be operated.
 Work of relief is now well organized and it is believed there will be no further suf- fering. Rations are being issued to over 900 families besides those being cared for by benevolent and charitable organizations. A million dollars will scarcely cover the damage to property and loss to these. Near ly every manufacturing plant in the city is under water and their loss as well as that sustained by the railroads can only be ascertaned until the flood recedcs.

Firing on steamboats

Wheeling, w. Va, March 25-The fool- ed districts in the Greater Wheeling dis trict are slowly showing above water to- night. but the rate of the rivers fall is only an inch an hour. The railroads ore gradually resuming. Less than half a dozen of the manufacturing establishments are now running, and all of the iron works in the Wheeling district are sus- pended. The loss by machinery being sub merged will reach a. tremendous figure.
 The firing on many steam boats by reckless individuals at Moundsville, twelve miles below Wheeling is going to result seriously for the shooters, if the steam boat men are able to make out cases in the courts. ra=
 Several boats were fired on today, among them the Cincinnati liner Virginia. Capt. Wainwright was standing n front of a mirror in his room in the Virginia when a bullet crashed through the woodwork, grazed his head and shattered the mirror into a hundred pieces
 Three other bullets passed through the Virginias cabin, but luckily no one was hit. The Pittsburg tow boat Sam Clark was riddeed with bullets and when 7he reached this port had the appearance of a Mississippi blockade runner in the late war. She had been struck by bullets in forty-esght places, but miracously none of her crew was injured.

Senate from Oregon. Vote was 4 to 8
on partisan lines, except that Senator
Burrows tRepublican), who was absent
was counted, upon his authority. in op-
position to Corbett
There were two votes, first being up
on motion to declare Mr.. Corbett en-
titled to his seat, which was supported
by Messrs. Chandler, Hoar and Pritch-
ard, Republicans, and opposed by
Messrs. Caffery and Pettus, Democrats,
Allen, Populist and Burrows, Republi-
can, Michigan. Mr.. Spooner was paired
with Mr.. Turley, the former for and
the latter against the motion. A motion
was then made to declare that Mr.. Cor
bett was not entitled to his seat and
was carried by the above vote reversed.
The voting was preceded by quite
general discussion based upon a report
prepared by Senator Pettus, on behalf
of the opposition. This report took the
position that the question involved is
practically the same as that involved
in the Mantle case, and that this case
should be allowed to stand as a prece-
dent. Senator Pettus made an argu-
ment in favor of establishing a princi-
pie of action in such cases, and allow
ing it to stand, taking the position that
there was danger of the present courses
every time the political complexion of
the senate changes.

HER TOES MASHED.
Little Margaret Johnson's Suit
Against the Rapid Transit Co.

Little Margaret Johnson's Suit
Against the Rapid Transit Co.
The trial of the damage suit of Ed
ward Johnson, guardian ad Item of
Margaret Johnson, a. minor, against
the Salt Lake Rapid Transit company,
was had before Judge Cherry and
jury yesterday afternoon, with Judge
Powers appearing for the plaintiff and
Mr.. George Sutherland for the defend
ant company.
1t was alleged in the complaint that
on Sept. l, 1895, Margaret Johnson, a
little girl of about years of age, was
a passenger on one of the defendant
company's cars, and was put in charge
of the conductor by her friends, 1t
was an open summer car, and at a
point about Sixth South and State
streets the little girl fell out of the
car, before she became seated, and the
wheel of the car passed over her toes,
crushing and greatly injuring them
The plaintiff alleged negligence or the
part of the company, and asked for
$299. 80 damages.
The case was originally tried in a JUS
tees court, where judgment was rem
dered for the plaintiff for 1915, from
which the defendant appealed to the
district court.
The case reached the jury late last
evening, with instructions to bring in
a sealed verdict this morning. About
s o'clock they agreed and separated.

upon the property at a stated figure

upon the property at a stated figure
per head it will be void.
THE ordinance provides that the
business shall be divided into classes
and the first class shall include those
owning or having in their possession
and under their control 5000 or more
sheep, and must pay $3.50 per annum
for the first 5000 sheep, and for every
additional 1,00p sheep the sum of $50.
"a tax of $3.50 on 5000 sheep would
be at the rate of 5 cents per head, but
as the class does not embrace the 5000
alone but includes all sheep over 5000
and up to 5000 which a person, COM
pany or corporation may own or con-
troll, the tax would not be cents per
head. but would be $3.50 on $3.50 or 300
or $500 or any other number between
5000 and 5000. And so with the second
class; the tax would be $500 upon 1000
sheep, but it would also be 5000 upon
any number above 1000 and under 5000
and would not therefore be cents per
head. The tax has been proportional
to the class as is always done upon
every other kind Of business in impos-
ing this kind Of tax, for it would be
palpably unfair, not to say unjust, to
compel a man of the seventh class with
less than ], 900 sheep to pay the same
tax as a man with 5000 sheep. l con-
clude, therefore, that the ordinance does
not tax the property at any rate per
head, nor as property, but lays the tax
upon the business of raising, grazing,
herding or pasturing Sheep and is
therefore valid and so long as it
reaches every class Of the same bust
ness alike it is not unequal nor discrim-
mating.
IS NOT DOUBLE TAXATION.
1.-The constitution of Utah being 81
lent upon the question of double taxa
ton the Legislature would have the
power to impose double taxation, but
in this case the imposition of the tax
in question would not be double taxa
ton, even if the constitution forbade
double taxation. It is true, as stated by
counsel in his argument, that the power
TO tax includes the power to destroy
but whatever may be the courts views
as to the policy of such q law, or what
ever doubts the court may have as to
such expediency, can have no weight
upon this legal proposition. The law
must be construed as it is and not in
accordance with any ones doubts as
10 its eXpediency.
81 hold, therefore, that there has been
no contravention of any constitutional
provision; that the statute is valid, and
the county ordinance drawn in accord
ance Herewith is also valid. The de-
murrer will be overruled.''
