occupied front seat in the Council cham

Rev w. F. HollngswOrth, of the Pres
byterian Church, was allowed the priv
ilege of the floor and he openly accused
Alderman McGarvey of lying TO the Law
and Order League. why he promised us
to stand by the ordinance and not re-

before the meeting. that he would not
open the matter again." said Mr.. Holings-

Who Controls Northern Pacific.
It Is noticeable that discussion tonight
centers upon the question of control OF
the Northern Pacific. So far as actual
control is concerned, the impression IS
gaining ground that it win be the party
with the most money that will acquire it
Many of the daily papers and some OF
the financial papers to-day expressed the
belief that control of the Northern Pa
cifc was still vested in the Morgan Hill
party.
On the other hand, one Of the leading
daily papers of the city and some of the
financial organs of the street still eX-
press the opinion that the Harr man patty
is in control. One thing seems settled to-
night and that is that Kuhn, Loeb & Co,

J. ]. Hill, on the other hand was
quite as decisive in reiterating his prev

seems to be no reason for doubling that

CONVENTION NEAR
Will Meet June IL. Plans
Almost Completed.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 6.-The legis.
hture made great strides in it's work
today so far as the constitutional
convention is concerned. Indeed,
the work may now be regarded as
practically completed although there
are details yet TO be arranged but a
conference committee is necessary 10
to reconcile differences between the
two bodies.
The house yesterday decided upon
representation of one hundred del
egates chosen on the plan of the house
apportionment with extra delegates
delegates distributed according to
increase in population.
Today the house decided that any
person who is qualified voter of the
State oil Virginia shall be eligible to
election the convention.
This action was taken at the end
OF hot fight over resolution offer
cd by MIR. Whitehead. OF Norfolk,
coniining the membership TO those
not eligible to election to the legisla-
ture. This was aimed at the office
holders os the State.
1t was decided TO delegates TO the
convention shall be chosen on MAY
18th and elected under the Parker
Walton law, The house fixed June
18th as the date and Richmond a.
the place for the assembling of the
convention. The pay of the members
was fixed at 81 per day.
1t was further provided that the
results of the constitution nal conven-
ton shall be submitted to the people
for ratification.
The sena after long debate de-
clded upon representation of so in
the convention, two from each sena
torial district. This will uecessitate
the appointment OF committee of
conferences and it if thought the
senate will agree to the action taken
by the house.
The discussion in the house on the
resolution Of Mr.. Whitehead to ex.
clude ofliceholders from the cor stitu-
tlonal convention was most interest.
ing and 1t was suggested that the
passage of such measure would
prevent Senntor Jno w. Daniel from
participating. Mr.. Whitehead sug
gested that Major Daniel mi .,ht ,em-
porarily resign his seat in the Senate
to take part in the convention.
