THE CONVENTION.

A roll.call in the constitutional con-
yention yesterday disclosed the pres
enoe OF only 50 members,a bare quorum.
The mercury was lowering near the
hundred mark, and the convention re-
NAMED in session only about 10 minutes,
during which time there was no debate
and but few resolutions were offered.
Those in favor of taking a recess until
the weather gets cooler are rapidly
adding to their ranks, and it ia thought
that when the motion is renewed, as 1t
undoubtedly will be, 1t will be adopted.
1t was the intention of Senator Carter
Glass to make motion prohibiting
those affected by the new constitution
from voting upon It's adoption, the enect
being the practical elimination of the
negro from politics. A telegram from
Lynch burg, however, announced tnat
he was too i'll to be present. Only a
few resolutions we're offered yesterday.
A sensation was created by tne reso'
luton OF John Garland Pollard, pro-
yiding for striking the work "Christian"
out of the bill of rights. In explanation
of his action, Mr.. Pollard said: "Since 1t
was announced that 1t was my inten-
ton TO move to strike out the word
Christian from the bill OF rights, am
surprised to fnd that some Christians
are 90 intensely opposed to it. l do not
believe that Christianity needs any
special recognition in law. nor do be-
lieye that IL is fair to the large proper
ton of our citizens who are not Chris
tians to use in our laws any word
which. to them, has sectsrian mean
ing. I am sure should object If 1t were
proposed to insert that we should
practice Jewish charity towards each
other, vet Jews exercise the most IN.
selfish charity. I am unwilling to see
in our fundamental law any word or ex'
preston which mas semblance OF q
discrimination AGAINST the religicc OF
any citizen"
s. P. Waddill offered resolution
providing that counties, cities and
towns be authorized to exempt enter
prises OF public utility, except railroads,
from local taxation for certain period
OF years In order to encourage them.
A resolution was offered by James
Mundy that the superintendent OF the
penitentisry be requested to furnish
the committee on suffrage the complete
number of colored convicts now 10 the
penitentiary, and the number who can
read, and number that attended free
schools. DR.. Dunawsy presented q
resolution that no appropriation OF
public funds shall be made to any char
liable. industrial or educational institu-
ton which is not owned aud controlled

DEATH OF SENATOR KYLE.-Senator
James q. Kyle died yesterday after
noon. He was stricken at his home at
Aberdeen, g. d, about ten days ago. His
trouble was OF mslsrisl origio, and re-
suited in q functional affection OF the

licans. Mr.. Kyle had been In the
United States Senate since 1891, and
having been reelected at the close OF

EVEN the New York Tribune cannot
uphold General Sickles in his over
zealousness for the cause OF the G. A. R.,
and 10 his attack on Commissioner OF
Pensions Evans whom two years ago he
so heartily supported. 1t says:
By his allegations of q prediction
bargain for the removal Of Pension
Commissioner Evans, General Sickles
would seem to have made that officials
tenure more firm than before his at
tack. 1t would now be difficult for the
President, even for good reason con-
nected with efficiency OF the service, to
supersede Mr.. Evans. He could not
promote him, not could Mr.. Evans for
any personal reasons retire without
opening the administration to a charge,
which thousands would believe, OF hav-
Inc carried out political bargain aud
paid to Gen. Slckles q political debt.
Any reason given for change, no mat
ter how true and how proper it might
be, would be widely denounced as o
mere subterfuge to hide another
reason which could not be avowed.
The letter of Senator Scott, which
General Sickles construes as an sd-
ministrstion promise to remove Mr.
= Evans, is clearly politicians
effort to please without committing
himself or anybody else. As
General Sickles has not helped

conncil of 1901 1903 would be devoid oil
fr,ction and that each member would
vie with o common purpose, az tnis
time gives no promise oil fruition, an
unfortunate deadlock having occurred 81
the outset. For the first time since
there have been two legislative bodies
In the city's government the newly
elected Mayor delivered his inaugural
address yesterday to but one BODY.
The Board of Aldermen, falling to elect
q president, did not organize, and, 80
far as can be seen, there is no indication
whatever Of an early break In the un-
fortunate tie.up. 1t will be seen from
the Official and general proceedings that
one hundred and fifty-fve ballots were
cast for president, each OF which re-
suited in o tie. During this time eacn
of the eight members OF the
board was candidate for the
positiou. There was but one path
ont and that was for one OF the four OF
either side to flop. This was thought
to be out OF the question and every bal
lot showed the quaternions face to face
and determined to fight it out If 1t took
all summer. One member who has
four years to serve said he was there
for his term, and others uttered equally
positive assertions. In the meantime
there are many things for the new
Council to consider. People living on
King street from Fairfax to Union want
vltrified brick improvements and those
residing on Washington and Other
thoroughiares are seriously contem'
plating petitioning for similar work
They are anxious to have the
improvements made before cold
weather. This unfortunate Ftate
of affairs. 1t lie feared, will initiate
against all this, as it will be impossible
to revolve the wheels of legislation
with no Board of Aldermen. Should
the latter body select president on
the 9th instant we will have reached
the latter part OF the month before the
committees can be named, and two
weeks twill be wasted entirely. 1t Ii

view in New York on Saturday he
said:
''I have grown tired of the constant

made by supposedly reputable news

The general should keep cool. The
G. A. r. has placed itself in position
to be criticized and so long as free
space is allowed that criticism will con-
tinue. Besides. Gen. Siokles admits
that over five per cent. Of the members
are bounty jumpers and bummers, but
holds that on account Of this small
percentage that organization as whole
should not be attacked. The general
is not consistent; he shohld give his aid
