EX-GOVERNOR CAMERON SPEAKS.

Richmond, Va, August 2S.-The Consti-
tutional Convention met as usual at noon
today. Several memorials relative to reg
ulating the liquor traffic were presented
by various members and were referred
to the Committee on Preamble and Bill
of Rights
chairman R. Walton presented the re-
port of the Legislative Committee which
was ordered printed. 1t provides four
year term for members of both House and
Senate, and indicates those who are not
eligible to election.
Delegate Petit, of Fluvanna, moved
for further consideration of the report of
the Committee on Preamble and Bill of
Rights, in committee of the whole This
was agreed to, and Ex-Governor Cameron
was recognized He referred to the
speeches of Delegates Wysor, O'Flaherty
and Harrison and regretted that the uues
tion of determining what shall be the ac-
tion of the convention in putting into eff
feet the new constitution should have
arisen at this time. He was in favor
OF submitting the work to an elecora te
but he was not prepared to say whether
an abridged or the present electorate.
The convention. he believed, was abso-
lutte and supreme. The plea had been
made that to restrict the suffrage would
initiate against the white people of the
Southwest and the Valley The time had
never come and he believed it never would
ccme when the people of the State of
Virginia would net stand shoulder to
shoulder and go to the rescue OF their
brethren. Neither the Norfolk conven-
tion nor any other body OF men in the
State had any idea that the new Consti-
tuition would be submitted to a class of
people who had never shown any ap-
probation of their votes when they voted
even for a county constable.
The speech was eloquent, forceful 1t
occupied nearly one hour and half in
its delivery and frequently the applause
OF the audience necessitated q stop of two
or three minutes. The concensus of opin-
ion is that the speech was one of the
abest yet delivered in the convention On

tee rose and the convention adjourned

New York, Aug. 2S.-The fourth trial
spin of the Shamrock III, in these waters,
sailed today was not attended with any
exciting incidents. The yacht did not go
outside Sandy Hook, as expected, but
sailed from Southwest Spit Buoy TO
Staten Island, twice during the four
hours she was out, covering a distance
of about 30 miles Captain Sycamore
headed her straight for Staten Island,
giving her a good full. The steam yacht
Erin, meanwhile, had taken on board a
number of the members of the friendly
sons of st. Patrick and she now followed
the Shamrock up the channel to the
northward to the delight of the guests
on board, who had their first view of the
cup challenger through the courtesy of
Sir Thomas Upton.
The Shamrock covered the first half of
her course in lis against a strong tide,
and the second half in just fifty minutes.
This was considered by the experts to
be very good work, considering the breeze
she had.
