Delegate Carter Glass arrived here last

time before he would be able to resume
his convention duties, and that his ply

Senator Daniel was to have come to
Charlottesville yesterday in connection
with the case of his client, MIR. John
Armstrong Chanler, and from there to
this city to present the minority report
of the Suffrage Committee to the Demo-
cratic conference tonight Now that he

the absence of the distinguished chairman
Of the Suffrage Committee
All the member who heard of Senator
Daniels illness last night, expressed the
deepest regret, and INDUCED in the hope
that he would speedily recover and be
able to return to his duties.
It is expected the.. after the contested
election case is disposed of by the con-
vention there will be taken up for fur
tlrtr consideration the report of the Com
rnittee on the Legislative Department,
when there will be a decision Of the Ques-
lions that ware passed by last week re-
Iating to the Incorporation of churches,
the appropriation of funds to denomina-
tional charities and to institutions not
wholly owned or controlled by the State,
and the allowance Of compensation in
eminent domain cases to the owners of
land that is damaged. These questions
will provoke a good deal of discussion.
But most important Of all is the cues
ton of r. confiderng the vote by which
the quadrennial legislative plan was
adopted. This subject is still attracting
a great deal of attention. 1t is not known
whether there will be airy further debate,
but the result will be awaited with deep
interest.
When Mr. R. Walton Moore, the chair
man of the committee, was seen last
night, he said that. in his opinion, the
retention of the quadrennial election fea
ture is certainty. and that the quadren-
NAL session feature will also be retained.
He has no doubt that diminishing the
number of elections and sessions will eff
feet an average direct saving of from
100000 to $4,000. to say nothing of what
will be saved indirectly. He is confident
that the proposition has, the popular APP
prevail and is in the line Of the work that
the people are expecting at the hands of
the convention.
