THE LEGISLATURE.
SENATE.

tutional convention 10 submit its wCiii
to the people precipitated yesterday ia
the Senate an interesting discussion
This subject was sprung somewhat un'
expectedly. The introduction by Sem
stor Eggleston OF an amendment pro
posing to strike out the whole provis-
ion 10 the Flood bill for submitting the
constitution to the people for approval
or rejection stirred up hornets nest
The debate attracted unusual attention.
The majority of the Senate appeared to
be ready to vote, but it was finally post
poned until today.
The Senate conquered in the House
resolution, which requests the Score.

to take such steps to establish forest re.
serves 10 the State Of Virginia as be
may deem advisory.
A bill was introduced by Mr.. Dono.
hoe to validate en- ordinance of the City
Council of Alexandra, 10 authorize the
construction of a switch by the Wash
ington-Southern Railway Company.
HOUSE.
The session in the House lasted more
than three hours, and was taken up
mainly in the transaction of routine
business.
Mr.. Fowlkes introduced bis bill re-
quiring gubernatorial candidates to be
nominated by the different parties.
The proposed law is to apply 10 the
approaching gubernatorial contest. Ii
requires that the candidates shall be
voted for the same day on which dele
gates to the convention are elected.
Mr.. Fowlkes quoted Messrs. Swanson
and Montague, two of the leading can
didates for the democratic nomination
for Governor, as iayoring his plan.
An attempt was made by Mr., Bland
to require the Constitutional Conven.
ton to submit to the voters the pro-
visions OF the constitution separately.
This proposition went 10 q committee
after opposition.
There are indications that q move for
general dspensary may be started in
Virginia. II this Is done 1t will be bas-
ed upon the success OF the experiment
started at Franklin, in Southampton.
The dispenssry In that village paid to
the State something like 81 900 as its
share of the pro6ts.
The House committee for courts Of
justice last night agreed upon o bill for
assembling the Constitutional Conven-
tioD. This measure fixes June II
as the day for the convention to
meet. The election 10 to take place on
the fourth Thursdsy in May and the
constitution Is to be submitted for sp.
prevail or rejection to the voters OF the
Safe. The bill drafted by the commit
tee last night evades the burning ques-
ton whether it shall be the whole peo-
ple or an abridged electorate 10 which
the constitution shall be submitted.
This submission is to be made at the
November election If completed 10
time, ii not the convention itself shall
fix the time CT such submission. The
per diem is fixed at s4-the same as the
Legislature.
