LEAVE 1T To STATES
REPEAL FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.
SAY VIRGINIA DELEGATES.
MAY MEMORABILIA CONGRESS.
STRONG RESOLUTIONS INTRODUCED
IN CONVENTION.

The Theory of the Amendment Ix
wrong. says One Delegate, and Has
Been So Proven by All Human
Bxperience-The Two Races Are
Not Equally Competent for Free
Government - Norfolk DeIeEate
Proposes to MemOriaIize Congress
and the People of the United States
for Repeal of the Amendments.
Richmond, Va, June 2O.-The Consti-
tutional Convention to-day decided to hold
all of its sessions in Richmond, and with
the possible exception of a few days re-
cess from time to time that the sessions
shall be continuous.
The first resolution on the suffrage
question with reference to the proposed
new constitution was offered to-day by
Delegate T. w. Harrison of Fredericks
county. 1t says that universal suffrage
can be safely entrusted to the white man,
and that universal negro suffrage has
been attended with great evils. The res
oiution goes on to say:
That the fifteenth amendment of the
United States Constitution is wrong. in
that it proceeds on the theory that the
two races are equally competent of free
government. This theory is contradicted,
not only by the experience of the South.
but by the history of the two races since
the dawn of history.
This convention, therefore. ought to
inaugurate through the proper channels
the proper steps to it's repeal or amend
ment so that each state may control it's
suffrage, as its best interests demand.
THAT it is not the purpose of the state
to deny the negro any civil right, nor to
disfranchise any negro who has sufficient
freehold estate to give him a permanent
and substantial interest in the welfare
of the state, nor, if any discrimination
is made against him in the right of suf-
frage, to claim any representation in
Congress, or to the electoral college based
upon negro population
The resolution was referred.
Mr.. Thorn of Norfolk presented a res
olution for a memorial to the Congress
and people of the United States in behalf
of the repeal of the Fifteenth Amend
ment 1t was referred.

HARRIMAN'S HARMONY SCHEME
Hfs Rie system of Railroads Placed
Under One Traffic Manager.

ms Rfer system of Railroads Placed
Under One Traffic Manager.
San Francisco, June 2.-J. C. Stubs,
vice president of the Southern Pacific,
whose appointment as traffic manager of
the vast system Of railroads controlled
by the Hartman interests was announced
from Chicago, has arrived here. IT spe-k
ing of the innovation to be introduced in
railroad methods by the creation of the
position to which he has just been ap-
pointed, Mr.. Stubbs explained the matter
by saying that Mr.. Hartman had been
considering for some time the feasibility
and practicability of divorcing the traf-
ir of the lines he is interested from the
other affairs of the road. He has talked
over the scheme with gentlemen who help
ed to frame the policy
and direct the fortunes of the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific and
has evolved a plan which. in Harriman's
opinion, ought to accomplish the hereto
fore impossible task of harmonizing the
interests of the several Hartman roads.
As Mr. Stubs puts it, it is a plan to
bring about unification OF interests with
a reduction of friction and the elimina-
ton of unnecessary competition without
consolidating the properties under one
management. Under this plan one man is

ROBBERY AND MURDER.
Gen. Chnffee Speaks Plainly of Com
duet of Troops in China.

NuCA III
Washington. June 20-The report of
Maj Gen Chaffee on the campaign in
China is being prepared for publication at
the War Department. Some of Gen.
Chaffees comments are interesting At
one point he says;
For about three weeks following the
arrival of the relief column at Pekin the
condition in and about the city was bad.
Looting of the city, foraging in the sur
rounding country, and seizure by soldiers
of everything a Chinaman might have, as
vegeta bles, chickens, sheep, cattle, etc,
whether being brought to the city or
found on the farm; indiscriminate and
generally cnprovoked shooting of Chinese
in city, country and along the line OF
march and the river-all this did not
tend. as was natural to gain for the
troops the confidence of the masses, with
whom it is certain we have no quarrel,
but were in need of their labor 1t is
safe to say that where one real Boxer
has been killed since the capture of Pc
kin, fifty harmless coolies or ls.borers
on farms, including not a few women and
children, have been slain. No doubt the
Boxer element is largely mixed with the
mass of population, and by Staying a lot,
one or more Boxers might be taken in"
Gen. Chaffee speaks of the restraint he
placed upon American troops. The Japa-
nese commander also made it known that
general war on all classes was not in
tended.
Gen. Chaffee says he opposed entering
the Forbidden City unless lootng was
prohibited. This was agreed to and he
thinks but little looting has been done
there, though articles have been offered
for sale. said to have been taken from
the Forbidden City.

REV. KELLER ON THE STAND.
Minister Seems Himself Once More.
Neighbors Swear TO Mrs. Barker's
Lack of Veracity.

New York. June 20-The case of
shooting of Rev. John G. Keller, at Ar
lington. N. j.. last February. will go to
the jury in Jersey City tomorrow about
o'clock. A verdict may reasonably be
expected before night. Before court ad-
Journed this evening, the evidence was
all in and nothing now remains but the
argument of counsel and the judges
charge. To-day Mr. Keller was once
more upon the stand. He seemed to have
been aroused for the time from the
lethargic state which marked his conduct
and action when he testified on examina-
tion. Tren he spoke in a low.
tired voice. To-day his denials Of the
allegations of Mr., and Mrs. Barker were
spoken in a loud. firm tone, and when
asked If the alleged outrage was the
reason Mrs. Barker left the church. he
shouted the NO so that it rang through
the courtroom, and through the corri-
doris. His denials generally were strong,
positive, absolute. When on the stand
before. Keller showed no spirit, but TO-
day as he denied the truth of the state
ments of the Barkers, he was more like
the Keller of year ago. his friends said,
than he has been at any time since the
shooting.
1t was a hard day for Mrs. Barker. for
neighbor after neighbor went on the
stand and svore that her reputation for
truth and veracty was bad. Some even
said it was very bad.
The battle of the insanity experts was
the third feature of the day.
Barkers Publish a Statement.
There was a whispered conference be-
tween Judge Blair and the lawyers in
the case, before the trial opened, the
subject of which was understood to be
the publication in several papers In this
city and New Jersey, of what purported
to be a sworn statement by Mrs. Bar
ker of the circumstances of the alleged
assault upon her by MIR. Keller, and
which constituted, as alleged the justI-
fication for the attempt upon Kellers
life in February of this year.
Judge Blair said he would talk to the
jury when the proper time came. He con-
tinued:
There can he no doubt of the motive
of the publication at this time. The
court will make a rigid investigation of
this reprehensibie act at the proper time,
and it will be thorough"

RALLI BROTHERS WIN SUIT.
Interior Cotton Brokers Must Live
Up to Their Contracts.

Up to Their Contrncts.
Atlanta. June 2O-The case OF Ralli
Brothers. subjects of Great Britain, who
have been suing NJ. L. Rockmore, a cot
ton dealer in Gwinnett county for $2.i75
damages on account OF non-delivery Of
sS3 bales OF cotton ordered by them, was
decided this morning for the plaintiff by
Judge Newman in the Federal Court
The court thought that the only ques-
tion of law was whether the plaintiffs 8
right TO recover should be tested and de-
termined by the pride OF cotton at the
time II should have been delivered by
Rockmore in October, November and De-
eember. or when he finally modified the
plaintiffs that he would not comply with
the contract, on Jan. 4. 1s99-cotton hav-
Ing risen during this period.
The court held that the breach OF con-
tract was on Jan. 4. 1899 and that the
price at which the different lots Of cotton
we're sold and the price which Ralll Bros.
were required to pay, is the proper basis
for recovery in this case, and that that
is the amount which the plaintiffs were
damaged and which they are entitled to
recover"
This amount would be S2.427. assuming
that there is agreement among counsel
that the deficit is sS3 bales.
Plaintiffs suit was only brought. how
ever. for S2i75. and necessarily their re-
covery must be limited 70 this amount"

A FEDERATED SOUTH AFRICA.
Herbert Asauith Outlines Position of
English Liberals.

London, June 20.-Herbert H. Asauith.
the former Liberal home secretary, speak,
ing at Liberal dinner this evening, pro-
tested against the pro-Boer resolutions
adopted at Queen Hall yesterday even
ing being accepted as a pronouncement
of the Liberal party. He said that Boer
independence was impossible, and said
the Liberals favored a free, federated
south Africa, on the lines of Canada and
Australia.
Mr.. Asquith further said that Liberals
holding his views had been branded as
schiatics, but they had not changed
their views, had always condemned the
war policy and that they considered it
must now be left for the Judgment of his
tory.
Mr. Asquith said that at the beginning
of the war he believed it was possible to
restore the status of the two South Af-
rican Republics, but that he was now a
reluctant convert to the necessity of an
nexation. He looked forward hopefully
to the time when these distractions would
be ended, and said that they all worked
together for liberal reform and progress
Means Split in Liberal Party.
London, June 20.-By his trenchant
speech, Mr.. Asquith achieved the COM
plete severance of the two wings of the
Liberal party. This was done to the great
joy of the Conservatives, whose press or
gans this morning cannot find words suf-
ticient 20 applaud his courage and hon
esty. The press is of the opinion that the
party of many leaders will now find great
er difficulty than ever in discovering who
is the real leader of the party.

among the Liberal members of the House
