THE CONVENTION.

The question as to liability for dam
ages where railroad beds are laid or
other public improvements made, was
the matter under debate 10 the Constitu-
tional Convention yesterday. Is came
up as part of the report OF the legisla-
tive committee, and was discussed In
the committee OF the whole. The rail.
roads are opposed to any change in the
law, and 1t will be upder debate for
several days.
Mr.. Hnnton called up his amendment
to the rules providing that seven mem.
beTs may call for the ayes and nays ir
committee OF the whole, and it was
defeated by vote Of 35 to 40.
This caused spicy debate, in which
Mr.. Hunton charged that Mr.. Han.
cock was opposed to every move look
ing to amending the present coDstitu-
ton.
Mr.. Withers offered q resolution
abolisbiDg the committee of the whole,
and it went over under the rules and
will be read on two succeeding days
and then taken up and considered.
Judge Richmond presented new

THE President yesterday removed
Postmaster Browne, OF Wilmington,
Del, and appointed w. n. Heald, su
anti.Addicks republican, in his stead.
After doing this he said:
"I want 1t thoroughly understood that
no presidential appointee has prescrip-
tive right TO hold Office, intend TO
consult only the public welfare in max
Jog appointments. As long as o man
proves himself fit and efficient his 20
sItion is safe. When he shows himself
unfit and inefficient he will be re-
moved"
The record shows that the admins.
tration OF the postoffice for the past year
has been unsatisfactory to the Postofice
Department and the appointment dem
onstrates that President Roosevelt has
recognized the regular republican fac.
ton of that State in the disposal of pat
ronsge, to the exclusion of the union
republicans. or Addicks, element. The
office pays IS. 800 year. This blow at
Addicks is taken to mean that the Presi-
dent is determined to place himself 10
opposition to bossism. As Addicks is 8
member of the republican national COM
mittee, Mr.. Roosevelt's action Is bound
to result In much discussion.

said, too, that the decline in bank stocks

worst sufferer in this respect 10 that
city is the national bank presided over
