MATERIAL A PLENTY.
Gaines's Scheme for Southerner For
 President.

New York, June 21.-A special to The Tribune from Washington says: Congressman John Wesley Gaines of Tennessee, in an interview, favors the nomination Of a Southern man for President in 1904. He says:
 My proposition for the nomination of a Southern man for President in 1904 is taking like wildfire. Since l made it a week ago, l have received stacks of letters from all parts of the country, commenting me.
 For more than fifty years this country was ruled by the South, and I am satisfied we can gain control if we go about it in the right way. The first step in this direction should be the nomination of a straight, Old-fash- toned Southern Democrat for Presi- dent in 1904. The man who says that the South does not possess abundance of Presidential material iB a fool. can name a dozen men or more, any one of whom would make us a winning candidate. ; Then Mir. Gaines men, toned these namess 1fs ,-sS @ ki
 Senator Morgan of Alabama, Sem ator Cockrell of Missouri, Senator Car mack and ex-senator Hurley of Ten nessee. Senators Culberson and Bailey of Texas, Senator Bacon and Clark Howell of Georgia, Associate Justice White of Louisiana, and,' said Mir. Gaines. you might add to this list the name of John Harlan of Kentucky. who, though appointed to the United States Supreme Court as a Republi- can. has enunciated fine old Demo- cratic doctrines from the bench more than once.
 7" The war is over and the South Is an integral part of the Union, and not an insular possession, or a Porto Rico, and besides have not numerous ex- Confederates served on the bench of the Supreme Court and in other posi- tions of the Federal judiciary by ap- pointment of both Democratic and Re- publican Presidents? Also, have not several ex-Confederates served in the Cabinets of both Republican and Democratic Presidents? Congress has been full of ex-Confederates for thirty years. Surely, if ex-Confederates can be trusted to make and interpret laws, they can be trusted to execute them. Therefore, my voice from this time on shall be for a Southern man for Presi- deat.'"

June A.-The anGs trust suits instituted in the Pulas& Circuit Court by Governor Davis. while he was Attorney General of the State. against the North Little Rock Ice Com pany and the Little Rock Brewery and Ice Company, were dismissed upon motion of Attorney General George w. Murphy today. Colonel Murphy says he made a thorough investigation of the cases and is confident that theee was nothing in the way of proof to sustain ths charge that the fee com- panies had entered into a combination to control the price of ice. The suits filed at the same time against otheE corporations. alleging that they were members of pool or trust, will likely be disposed of in the same manner.

THE SUFFRAGE COMMITTEE.
Reported That Members are Further
 Apart Than Before.

AparC Than Before.
 There is trouble in the camp. The secret has leaked out that the Commit tee on Suffrage of the Constitutional Convention is farther from an agree ment than ever before.
 After mature deliberation and care full consideration of the whole subject, 1t was agreed by the leaders of the different views of the subject on the Committee, that all would concede something and get together, but the other members kept quiet and when 1t was thought that an agreement had about been reached and the report could be prepared. these quiet mem hers. were heard from. and now the fight is on again
 There has been much curiosity ex- pressed by those on the outside at the impatience shown by some of the mem bers on the floor in the past few days and the sharp. passRge betHeen Pres ident Knox and Judge Coleman. the Chairman of the Suffrage Committee yesterday, can now be better under stood. It was said by a distinguished and prominent delegate last night that he did not believe that a majority of the Committee on Suffrage would ever be ready to report and that the Con- vention would have to compel them to bring in their conflicting views and vote upon them separately.
 The effort to keep the pledges made in the Democratic platform seems to be the rock upon which the Committee has struck. and that Is said to have destroyed all hope of harmonizing. The Committee Is holding several sessions daily and still trying hard to reconcile their differences.
 Judge Coleman, Chairman of the Committee, thought during the early part of the week that the Committee would be ready with It's report Thurs day, but yesterday and the day before he was silent about the report, and taken in connection with the rumor that was circulated last night of the understood

Notes of the Convention.

The resolution of MT. O'Neal of Lau- derdale, in regard to the Governors salary, Is as follows: Resolved. by the people of Alabama, in convention assembled. That 1t Is the sense of this Convention that the General Assembly of Alabama should at its first meeting after the ratification of the Constitu- ton. fix the salary of the Governor of Alabama at $, 900 per annum. Provid- ed, the same can be done without an increase of taxation in the State."
 The debates are getting interesting, and it is very sure that from this time on those who attend in the galleries, and who are fond of the debates in public bodies, will be well repaid for their pains.
 The members are not yet ready for two sessions a day, but after this week it Is thought that two sessions will be absolutely necessary to keep up with the work, and the work of the commit tees will have been W ell completed.
 The question Is being asked If the Convention is going to complete It's work in time prescribed by the Act in which the members shall draw pay. It begins to look very much like time will be very scs rec along towards the last.
 The Committee on State and County Boundaries has agreed on the resolu- tion in regard to the Shelby County court house matter. but there seems to be some hitch about agreeing on the ordinance that is proposed to present to the Convention.
 The Committee on Representation is still discussing the proposed area of counties to be recommended. It Is un- derstood that there was an agreement on 500 square miles, but the question seems to have been reopened and a number of the members are contending for 400 square miles, and may carry that figure.
