CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTIONS
COMMITTEE REPORTED.
[HY CABLE TO TIE TRIBUNE. ]

L.
Havana, Nov. 10.-The Credentials Committee
OF the Constitutional Convention has found evil
dence Of great election frauds. In Pinar del
Rio the people did not vote in number Of pre-
cincts. the clerks making the report TO suit the
National party. Sanguily. before the committee
sounds a note OF alarm. saying that II frauds
are overlooked there will be election. In
Havana IL is alleged that the vote was fixed anq
counted to suit the Nationalists, who controlled
the elections. Rural guards in some provinces
intimidated voters and let only Nationalist
vote in precincts where the Democrats had a
hundred majority. Evidence accumulates TO
show no election. The ballots, ii is asserted,
were tampered with by the managers previous
to the election The evidence on this point is
said to be strong The committee is supposed to
be non-partisan. but forecast Its
report. Gibernau and Sanguily the strongest
men in the convention, will fight for seating
Pierra. Sensational developments are expected
If the committee lays the evidence before the
Convention. It is improbable that it's report will
be submitted Monday, and it may be de-
ferred for a week.
General Wood says the report that Secretary
Root is coming here for recreation is untrue.

THE TRIBUNE's BALLOT SCHEME COMMENDED.

or Democrats and then to express their choice
for candidates to be nominated for Office. Just
how such q plan should be worked out I am
not prepared to say, but have no doubt
that 1t would go far TO stop the operations OF
cliques and bosses in the political organiza-
tons"
H W McVickar. the real estate broker said:
The TrIbune's plan is admirable. 1t will obtain
from the people the name of the candidate, who
they believe is the man they can trust with
this high place. It will do away with party
Influences and help to great degree to make
the movement non-partisan. Only as a non
partisan fight can it be successful 1 hope that
only two candidates will be put in the held' the
Tarnmany and the anti-Tammany man.
Democratic and Republican leaders last night
declared that The Tribunes plan Of having the
citizens Of New-York City express preference
of their choice for Mayor was an excellent Idea
and would undoubtedly be productive OF
pretty good indication of whom the people or
this city want for Mayor next year

PACIFIC MAILS LARGE ADVANCE.
REcToRATE REGARDED AS SIGNIFICANT.

The largest single advance in yesterdays stock
market in Pacific Mail, which, opening wide"
IS to So speedily to 81 and closed only one
point under the high level thus making a net
gain for the day OF So per cent. The advance was
ascribed almost entirely to the announcement that
E. H. Hartman had been elected a director of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company, to I'll the vacan-
cy caused by the death Of c. P. Huntington. The
Union Pacific Railroad Company. of which Mr.
Hartman is virtually the directing head, and the
Southern Pacific Company. Of which Mr.. Hunting
ton was president. he also of the Pacific
Mail have for years been joint owners of the Occ-
dental and Oriental Steamship Company, and the
entrance of Mr.. Hartman into the Pacific Mail
directorate was taken by Wall Street TO indicate
that these two railroads would henceforth jointly
control the Pacific Mail Company
Mr.. Hartman, ii is said, has bought from 10000
to 25 600 shares Of Pacific Mail stock, and George
]. Gould is credited also with recently increasing
largely his holdings. No single interest, it is un-
derstood, owns a majority of the 10000 shares Of
the company. It is said that Mr.. Hartman may
be elected president of the Pacific Mail Company,
and also that r. ?. Schwerin. Isaac h Gates and
Edwin Hawley will continue to represent the South
ern Pacific interests in the Pacific Mail board.

AMERICAN COAL FOR FRENCH NAVY.
FOUND TO BE A SATISFACTORY SUBSTITUTE FOR
FUEL HERETOFORE USED.


Washington Nov. 1o-Lieutenant de Farramond.
the French naval attache here has been making
inquiries to American coal along the same lines
s those pursued by the French Ambassa DOR NJ.
Paul Cambon, at London. the purpose being
ascertain if the American product available
in place OF the Welsh coal and the briquettes which
used by French naval vessels. AS
means of testing the American coal, Lieutenant De
Farramond shipped three hundred Martin
ique and about hundred to the French
naval station Newfoundland. The cruiser
CeciIle, now in American waters. took a supply
OF American coal and has found il entirely salts
factory. The the Sfax have been 8
satisfactory although this is attributed the con-
struction Of the French CRATES, which made to
accommodate the large briquettes. The result OF
the shipments Newfoundland has not been
ported although il Is taken for granted, from the
lack Of complaint. that the coal has proved
ably sa atisfactory. On the whole. Lieutenant De
Farramond's observations lead him to the con-
clusion that American coal offers a satisfactory
substitute for the Cardiff and other classes of
coal heretofore used exclusively French vessels.
