COMPROMISE ON SUFFRAGE.

The twenty democratic members OF
the suffrage committee OF the constltu-
tional convention have about agreed
upon the features OF the clause they
will present to the convention. There
are ONLY a few details to make the
compromise complete, and 1t is ex.
pected that the conferences OF the next
day or two will dispose of these and
enable the committee to report.
The Mississippi understanding clause,
sliOhtly modified, will. be recommended,
to hold good until January l, 1903.
The modification requires the voter TO
be able 10 explain the duties OF the OF.
fear for whom he offers to vote. All
who register under this qualification,
which is the only one up TO the end OF
next year, will enjoy the right to vote
ever afterward. Alter the close OF
next year this qualification will cease
aud only those who own and have PAID
taxes on $3.50 OF property, have paid
che poll tax Of 81 so, and can vote the
Australian ballot without assistance

The COMMITTEES feel that this will re-
strict negro suffrage, but enable al
whites in the State to register. A

power the legislature, upon the petition
| Of counties, to exempt from some o

THE CONTINGENT FUND.

The report oil the State Auditor,
covering the expenditure OF the
civil contingent fund 10 the
hands OF the Governors OF Virginia
for 20 years back, was called up In
the committee. on executive depart
ment of the constitutional convention
Yesterday. and while it revealed some
very interesting data, il failed to fur
nish any sensation. ln that respect II
was q disappointment. Ex-Governor
Cameron, chairman OF the committee,
was 10 the Governors chair at the be-
ginning of the period OF examination.
he said be had hoped the committee
would have disposed of this during bis
absence last Saturday; that he desired
to yacate the chair during the coDsid.
GRAFTON OF the matter and be excused
from the meeting. he hoped the CON-
mittee would take such action as they
deemed for the best, entirely regardless
OF bis connection with II; that person
ally he had no desire but that the
whole facts should be published, and
he had no doubt every successor 10 the
Office Of Governor since his official oocu-
pancy wished the came thing. The
Ex-Governor then called Mr.. Glsss to
the chair, and retired from the room.
For a few minutes the committt Q
was 10 executive session. The seals of
the report were broken and short ex-
animation Of the report was had. Judge
Marshall at the beginning OF the execu'
i've session stated that he intended to
have the report opened for the inspec-
lion of the members and the public.
His motion was adopted.
After passing resolution calling on
Mr.. O'Flsherty to appear before the
committee aud explain what bearing
the information obtained by his resolu-
ton could have on any matter now un'
der consideration by the committee, Il
rose and reporters were again admitted.
It was shown that several times during
the 20 years the limit of $4,000 al
lowed for this fIrd was exceeded, and
had to be made good by special appro-
priatiou. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee made the
largest expenditure 10 one yesr.-$20,
600 10 1888, when lawyers fees and
other expenses 10 connection with the
settlement of the State debt had to be
paid. The smallest expenditure was
made by Governor Pnillip W. McKin'
ney-s6, $40, in 1891. 10 Governor
Cameron's term were two fees OF "a 900
each to Roscoe Conkliu and John Ran
dolph Tucker, In coupon cases. The
largest expenditures 10 Governor Ty-
ler's list were loans OF =, 900 to the
Cubin war. The calling for the infor'
nation has developed nothing wrong,
AID it was adversely criticised by many
members.

The FACT that ten Of the Fall River

The Strike.

McKeesport. Pa, Aug. 2S.-Io anti
cipation of an attempt being made to
start the Demmler tin plate mill, o
large crowd of strikers and policemen
surrounded the plant all night. Tue
night wore away, with no move beiog
made on the part OF the management
of the plant. II is now thought the
move to start the plant will be made
some time today.
Pittsburg. Pa, Aug. 2S.-For the first
time since the inauguration OF the

Adrertises for Non.union Men.

Pttsburg, Pa. Aug. 2S.-The Amer.
can Tin Plate Company, following up
its announcement to open all the mills
now closed by the strike, has sdver'
tised for Don-union men to fill the
places OF the strikers. The significant
word "non-union" tells the story of the
tin plate manufacturers intentions re-
garding the character of the men whom
they will take in TO open she plants. II
states plainly they will pay eood wages
and give ample protection to their en-
pIoyees. Another large number OF
non-union strike breakers are said TO
have reached the city today for the
Star tin mills. Efforts to start the
Monongahela mill are expected next.
The Star mill is still closely picketed by
the strikers, but their efforts to get the
non-union men to join them have met
Indifferent success. President Shsfier

mated Association was voting by mail
