CUBAN LAW.
EndeavOrinE to Secure Plural Vote
for Property and
Professional Men.

Havana, July s.-The Cuban consti-
tutional convention has not yet ar
lived at an understanding regarding
the electoral law. Several meetings
were held last week, but very little in
terest was manifested in the proceed
ings, many of the delegates being abb
sent. The conservatives are quite
hopeless with respect to the rescind-
ing of the universal suffrage clause,
and they are now endeavoring to Sc
cure a plural vote for property-hold
ers and for professional and business
men. In this they are strongly OPP
posed by the radicals.
An objection has recently been
raised against drawing up the cleo
toral law until the United States gov
eminent has approved the constitu-
ton, the argument being that it
would be useless to draft laws based
upon the constitution if Washington
is going to make changes in this in
strument.

deed resulted from the fierce saloon
fight at Russiaville, which finally re
suited in John R. Mason being sent to
jail and the refusal of Gov. Durbin to
pardon him. Ratelif took a promi-
nent part in the fight against Mason.
and, it is claimed, that he received
many threats, both personally and by

OF the convention was harmonious,
transacted and to the good of tn,

read and discussed.

speeches on that occasion was that Of
Hon. +. A. Critz, OF West Point, who
addressed the convention on "Trans
portation and Commerce, and tool
advantage OF the opportunity to. give
q strong Endorsement to the good

question he said:
IAN essential line of transportation
Ia the country wagon road, and its i'm.
provement Is one Of the glaring needs
OF Mississippi commerce. We labor
under the great disadvantage Of the
lack Of material with which to ma.
cadamlze our roads. l trust, however,
that the gWOd roads movement may
dnd some means .of substantial i'm.
prOvemcnt, and that In the future
roads may be made and kept up by
taxation. NJ expenditure OF public
money would bring more general com.
fort and no investment would bring
better financial returns"
The headquarters Of the Association
was at the Mexican Gulf Hotel, the
