While the question is not being very

that the democratic party was committed
to the proposition OF favoring a constltu-
tional amendment making United States
senators elective by direct vote of the
people.
For this reason, when the executive com
mittee of the State of Virginia refused to
indorse this proposition its action was
looked upon as contrary to the generally
recognized sentiment of the party at
large. though there has been but little
said concerning 1t in the public prints,
When, however. set OF men who have
been delegated to carry out the wishes of
party fail or refuse to perform that duty,
the general conclusion Is that there is a

dairy commission reassembied at II o'clock
this morning and Or, Richard Webster, the

speech. Dealing with the period from, 1900
to 1887, he said Great Britain was unable
to rely on the Spanish or Venezuelan CON
troll and was compelled TO fan back upon
the discovery and decentralization, So

that Spain has discovered that defined area
and had taken possession In the name

statements made before the United States
commission must not be used In argument
against Great Britain, as frequent deduc-

Richard Webster said the Spaniards occa !.

claimed that discovery when not followed
by occupation was OF no value as the
