VlRGlNlANS ESCHBH INFLUENCE,
Discussion of school Question Leads
TO Debate ns to Politics
and Mixed Dinners.

RICHMOND Va. Nov. lC.-The ques-
ton of Taking certain changes in the
State Beard of Education so as to prevent
the appointment Of school superintend-
euts who Use political influence in getting
such places was discussed again tCuay
in the Constitutional Convention. The
discussion WAS brought auout by psesen-
tation OF the report OF the Committee on
Education
Senator Glass. of Lynchburg, defended
the report of tho committee in emphatic
terms. lie said that the charge that the
school sy stem had been prcstituted by
those seeking political appointments was
false.
Mr.. KeezeIl said he had been misunder-
stood in his remarks of yesterday. He
favored the election of the Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction by the people
The Hooker Washington Dinner.
discussion arose over proposition
in behalf of mixed schools. Mr.. Moore
said when the present constitution was
formed there was a discussion of the
question of mixed schools. but that the
provision was withdrawn, and was not
contained in the constitution ratified by
the people in 1863 He was opposed to
mixed schools, as were all Republicans
in the State.
Mr.. Wysor. of Pulaski, interrupted the
delegate from Montgomery by asking If
he had understood him (Moore) as being
opposed to mixed schools.
Mr.. Moore-You understood me correct
ly. sir.
Mr.. Wysor-IIow do you stand on the
subject of mixed dinners?
The query evoked round of laughter.
Mr. Moore said that the fact that the
President had given dinner to Booker
Washington had nothing to do with the
school question in Virginia. He said that
the incident was not believed to be an
evidence favoring social equality.
Another Negro Dined.
Mr.. Summers - And / would like to
say right here that Governor O'Ferran
entertained Temoh, Massachusetts ne
gro, while he was occupying the Gov
ernors Mansion.
MIR Wysor arose to reply to some OF
the remarks of Mr. Moore when Mr..
cussion was not being confined to the
question before the committee.
The point was sustained and Mr.. Wy
sor resumed his seat. Both of the amend
ments to the present constitution voted
upon at the recent election were adopted
by good majorities.
The amendment to allow the State to
tax men who take oysters by tongs from
the natural oyster beds carried by 12,z22
votes to S.259 against it.
The amendment to do away with spring
elections and to hold all elections in the
fad carried by 1899 votes to 1862 against
It. This was much smaller vote than
was cast for the State ticket

NEW YORK. November 25.-The great
storm which came sweeping up from the
South OF Saturday night has spent ITS
force in this zone os the Atlantic coast,
and the waters driven UP on the lowlano
and beach are subsiding. A more care

day. Hundreds OF small crafts were
wrecked or BADLY damaged. wnarves and
piers at every exposed point were bat
tered down, many seaside resorts we're
unroofed, lowiands We're flooded, city
cellars were filled and hundreds of town
houses were damaged.

Estimates of the aggregate damage

The extent of the damage to the Rapid

CHEAT DAMAGE.
REPORTS Of damage done by the storm OF

sey coast, the southern coast Of Long
Island and the upper shore oil Long Island
show that the destruction was widespread
and the monetary loss much heavier than
at first supposed.
Long Branch reports tonight show that
hardly a building there escaped some
damage.
The wreck of the tug Hadder, at Long
Branch, is complete. The ship Flottbek
stands almost upright in the sand She
will be unloaded as. she lies.
The railroads are gradually getting
their tracks in working order, but III
some places no trains have vet been run.
The wealthy New Workers who have
summer houses on the upper shore OF the

ADJUSTMENTS.

A new play, -Judgmnt.' was presented
for the first time at the Academy last
night Naturally, there were many hitch
es incident TO a first performance, and
the company, with few exceptions. was
weak. These are, however. faults that
can be remedied The great defect is lack
of human interest until the last two acts.
Another fault is too great verbosity.
The second act was badly handled, and
the effect lost by a clumsy arrangement
OF the scenery. The character of Solomon
was well drawn. although he did not be-
come absolutely necessary to the action
until the last act. Richard Foote did
everything that could be done with the
material at his command. In voice. bear
ing and action, he was King Solomon in
his youth and In the heyday of his glory.
Not only did he fully realize the charac-
ter, but he dressed 1t with historical accu-
rscy. What he did stimulated a desire to
see him In a role that would afford scope
to his ability. Cecilia Casteile was good
as Naomah as was also Thomas Law
s,ence as Azan!s, but The others were weak.
Luzang,e Kranz sang two solos very
pleasingly. and she was well applauded.
The play has the merit OF originality. and
&c might be reshaped and rem6deled SO
as to make It worthy OF a continued es:s-
tence: but in its present shape 1t Is not
sikeay to WIN success. There will be a
matinee today. and the engagement VIII
