Fusion Convention in Oregon,
New Orleans. March 2e.-By a vote of
IS to IS, with eleven delegates absent,
the Louisiana constitutional convention
yesterday adopted a suffrage plan. The
session of the convention is to be OF
seventy days duration, and 1t was
agreed to. dispose Of suffrage before
taking up any other question. 1t took
forty-five days to reach a verdict. The
convention is almost solidly Demo-
cratic, and the avowed purpose was to
eliminate the negro from Louisiana
politics. The measure adopted, by pro-
viding for educational and property
qualifications and a poll tax, is pre-
sumed to answer the purpose effective
ly. At the same time it was desired to
let in as many white people as possible,
and this 10 accomplished by exempting
naturalized voters. as we'll as those who
were voters in 1867 with their sons and
grandsonS.
Took the Risk of the Unc0nstitutionality,
The latter clause was advised against
by Senators McEnery and Caffrey, who
said they had consulted the ablest con-
stitutional lawyers in congress and
found them unanimous upon it's uncon-
stitutionality. These opinions led to It's
being abandoned, but the convention
was so hopelessly divided upon SUBJ
stitute that it was finally decided to
reinstate the clause and take the risk.
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 pre-
cinct in which they offer to vote six
months. The new constitution general
ly is to become effective at the begin
ming Of next year.
Puts In . Property Qualification.
The voter must be able to read and
write his mother tongue or English, and
must make his application to register
in his own handwriting; or IL he is I'M
able to read and write he must own
property to the value Of $500. All who
We're voters in 1867 or prior thereto,
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. Of the present year. Un-
der the Same conditions of residence
persons Of foreign birth who have been
naturalized before the end Of the cur
rent year may register and vote. A
poll tax provision as a prerequisite to
voting is incorporated, but it becomes
effective only after the next general
election in Louisiana in 1900.

Oregon Populists Fuse with Democrats

the distribution of coal. No matter
how frequently or suddenly the scene
CT naval activity is changed, the yes
sells must have fuel, and it has been
Commodore Bradford's business to see
that loaded colliers were on hand
when they were wanted. Without the
employment of an extra clerk and
without the slightest parade he has
succeeded in keeping the bunkers of
every vessel in the navy full of coal
from the beginning of hostilities, no
matter whether they were on the
North Atlantic coast or in the Carib-
bean sea, or in the ports of the Pacific
or the Philippine islands. At the same
time he has been able to furnish fuel
for the army transports in both oceans
without allowing his coal piles at the
source of supply to be diminished.
Some idea of the magnitude of this
task is suggested by the fact that
within the last four months 100000
tons of coal have been delivered to the
ships of the United States navy in va

FUELING WARsHIPS.
How Commodore Bradford Keeps the
Bunkers of Our Great Ocean
Fighters Full of Coal.

One of the greatest triumphs of the
war which has been hidden from pub
lie observation has been the work of
the several bureaus of the navy de-
partment in furnishing supplies and
equipments for the troops, says a
Washington dispatch in the Chicago
Record. AS Secretary Long remarked
IL a recent interview, their duties have
been quite as valuable as those of the
fleet in Cuban waters or the harbor
of Manila. But for their foresight and
executive ability the ships might have
been helpless for the lack of fuel, am
munition and food. The superiority
cf our naval organization and the abil-
ity of our bureau chiefs has been dem
onstrated in a striking manner. One
of the most remarkable has been fur

Part In the War OUTFIT.

Some one has computed that with
100000 men in the field there are at
least 100000 of women who are direct
ly and individually concerned in their
welfare, not to mention all those be-
sides whose interest is sympathetic and
patriotic, says a writer in Harper's
Bazar. Not all can join actively in the
work of the great organizations which
further large enterprises, and many
minor associations are formed with the
purpose of devising and making little
personal comforts for the soldiers to
add to their kits when going away for
duty or be sent to them as opportunity
offers. The little housewife shown in

one of the departing regiments.

About the time that he was looking for
feet the question of painting the
ships of the navy war color was un-
der solemn consideration by some of
the precise officers of the big building.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt was
bothered daily by the question of tints
submitted to him by board on war
ship color, when Schley remarked that
he did not care what color his ships
were painted so long as he had ships.

"or paint them black, but let me have
