ARCH ASSOCIATION TO MEET.
Confederation of Program for Future
Operations.


Operations.
The executive committee of the William
Mckinley National Memorial Arch Associa-
ton will assemble in the American Security
and Trust building this afternoon at 4
o'clock to discuss the future operations of
that body. This will be the first meeting of
the committee after it's decision not to at
tempt to obtain funds for the arch through
popular subscription, but to leave the field
entirely to the Canton. association. 1t is
expected the committee will vote to con-
tinue the present organization of the arch
association and will consider the form of a
bill for the appropriation of fund suf-
ficient to erect the arch. How large an
allowance will be asked has not been deter
mined. The sum deeided1ppon as a popular
subscription was $1,500000, and it is possi-
BILE Congress will be petitioned to grant the
same amount , 8 oeN
A project has been brought to the atten-
ton of the committee to establish In Wash
ington District Of Columbia committee to
collect funds for the Canton memorial. The
idea has met with some favor. Elsewhere
the Canton associations has found the great
est willingness to contribute. especially in
the public schools Penny subscriptions
taken in various departments of the school
system have already added materially to
the Canton fund, and If that work is steadi-
ly continued the promoters are confident
the total will soon reach fhe proportions de-
sired.

General Notes
THE VIRGINIA CONVENTION.
Report of the judiciary Committee
Up for Confederation.


Up for Consideration.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
RICHMOND, Va, December IT, 1901
The report Of the judiciary committee
was the matter considered by the COM
mittee of the whole Of the constitutional
convention today. The report provided
that matters involving less than $500
should not be appealed to the supreme
court of appeals, but the committee
amended the report after a protracted de-
bate. reducing the amount to $500. A Sec
ond amendment was adopted whereby no
new circuit court can be formed by the
general assembly for district which has
a population of less than 40 600, the re-
port providing for 10000.
Mr.. Marshall endeavored to have the
convention fix January 6, 1902, as the time
for considering the report of the suffrage
committee, but the resolution was laid
on the table.
A resolution was adopted requesting the
goVernor-elect and the other officers
chosen at the general election In Novem-
Der to take the oath of office In the hall
or the convention at noon on January l.
In the senate today Mr.. Glass presented
the report of the minority of the finance
committee on the question Of appropriat-
ing the sum of 100000 for pensions. The
report is couched in strong language, say
ing that it is feared that the movement
Will result in such abuses as have char
acterized the pension bureau at Washing
ton, declaring that the patron of the pres
ent pension law is disgusted and disap-
pointed at its operations, as many per-
sons have been added to the rolls to the
detriment of the men who did the fight
ing and that the lists are being padded by
people of certain sections whose sole aim
seems to be to get as much as possible
out of the public treasury to the detriment
of deserving men," Senators Keezell of
Rockingham and Lupton of Frederick are
the other signers of the minority report.
