Virginia Convention Wastes Time on
Petty Matters.

Richmond, Va, June 19.-The Constitu-
tional Convention reassembled at noon
to-day. Reports of three committees were
presented. those of the Committee on Or
ganization on Rules and on Reporting.
The reports were adopted as presented,
with the exception of an amendment to
section ef the rAnort of the Committee
on Organization, providing for the EN-
ployment and payment of clerks. The
amended report allows clerks 81 per diem
only, when the convention is in session,

from Richmond, one from each of the
FIVE geographical divisions of the state,
and the eighth to- be recommended by
the Republicans of the body. The oppo-

suggestion of the Republicans. The ques-
ton was not settled.

COTTON ACREAGE CENSUS.
Secretary Hester Talks of Its Inn
pOrtnncc TO the south.

Birmingham, Ala, June 19-Secretary
Hester of the New Orleans Cotton Elk
change who has just returned from
Washington, where he had lengthy in
terview with superintendent Merriam OF
the Census Bureau, says:
Il was assured that everything possi-
bic would be done to hasten the reports
on acreage and manufactures, anu Mr..
North OF the brueau expressed the opinion
that he would be pleased to make public
the acreage report by the middle of Mo-
vember.
This is OF the greatest Importance to
the South, for the official figures as to
acreage will give us a reliable basis of
fact upon which to form our estimates
hereafter. Acreage estimates now are
estimates merely. We have had no off,
cia1 figures since those OF the census of
1890 eleven years, ago, and when the CEN
sus cotton reports OF that year we're made
public they demonstrated that the figures
OF the estimated acreage were wrong TO
the extent OF several million acres.
The official report, which we hope to
receive in November, will give us the
actual number of acres planted in cot
ton for the crops OF 1s90-1900. and we can
see at a glimpse what progress has been
made since the last official figures were
secured for the crop OF 1880.
The report OF the census ON the cot
ton producing industry will / attn cons
fdent, be the most nearly perfect ard al
together the most satisfactory ever issued
in this country, and l would say as much
concerning the general agricultural re-
ports for the entire country"

CAPT. REICHMAN'S REPORT.
His observations Upon Matters in
south Africa to BE Published.

Washington, June 1s-The division Of
military information of the War Depart
ment is preparing for publication reports
of different officers who have recently had
an opportunity to observe military events
and campaigns. One of these is Capt.
Carl Reichman, Seventeenth Infantry,
~hc went s-c:: the Philippines 70 Soutt!!;
Africa and for seven months observed the
operations of the Boer army. On his way
to the Transvaal ne stopped at Madagas-
car and says that the French were dou-
bling the garrison OF that island per
haps in view OF possible complications
with England"
When he arrived in the rransvaal he
met President Kruger who asked him II
nc had come ito see the fight of one
against i've
The report Of Capt. Reichman deals
with the military conditions OF the Trans
vaa and Orange Free State previous 10
the war, the supplies and equipments OF
the army and during the time he was
with 1t he describes in detail all the en-
gagements that came under his observa-
ton. he mentions the fact that the age
of the Boer soldiers was from IS to 50;
that the Transvaai army numbered z5,41l,
and that of the Orange Free State 1851.
The I3oer Not n Soldier.
In summing up his observations Of the
Beers as a people and an army Capt.
Reichmann says that the Boer burgher Is
not a soldier; he has not trained as
soldier and his fighting methods are the
outcome OF the environment and personal
character. The Beers are a reserved and
dignihed people, and made few comments,
even when they heard OF the destruction
OF their homes and properly by the Brit
ish. In the seven months he was with
them he became favorably impressed with
