SATURDAY EVENING, JAN. %, 1902

THE DEMOCRATIC members OF the
House of Representatives seem to have
lost all their bearings snd apparently
have no definite policy or leaders
Most of them, especially the smooth-
bores. aspire to be leaders, but they are
utterly unfit for such positions and refuse
to follow those who are competent. They
seem to have DO regard for discipline
and ignore the old maxim that 10 union
there Is strength. In their caucus last
night Mr.. Burleson arrsigued his party
for cowsrdice and want OF unity OF
mind and purpose. He said the demo-
Gratis in Congress were now 30 weak
and timid, their opposition so puny and
impoteDt, as to provoke only the soorn
and contempt OF the republicans. That
Mr.. Burleson was justified in his ar
raIgument of his fellow-members no
true democrat will dispute. The effect
OF the caucus action, al. 1t is construed,
will leave the democratic members free
to make their campaigns for reelection
on any issues they may like and most
of them are more intent on their own
reelection than they are Interested IN
the good OF their party.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The constitutional convention yes
terday for the second time refused t.
grant an annual appropriation OF $50 =
600 TO the University of Virginia. Toe
vote was 80 to SO. This presumably
ends one of the most interesting fights
OF the convention The friends OF the
university made a powerful hght and
we're supported by the most Influential
men In the State, both In and out OF
| tle convention. There were two senti-
meut Is which comprised t1e defeat OF
the proposition. OOe was against
making sny appropriation 10 the con.
slitution and the other jealousy OF
other State Institutions and the friends
OF the public school syttsm.
Col. Smith, OF Alexandria, who hes
been detained for some time, was given
permission to incorporate iD the pro-
ceedings his views iavoring the appro-
pration TO the Virginia Military Iosti-
tuts if the University was provided for
10 the constitution.
The convention, in committee OF the
whole, resumed consideration of tue re-
port OF the committee on cities. This
was practically completed. One or two
unimpoitint sections went over.
Mr.. Marshall preset ted resolution
providing that the convention take up
the report of the corporation committee
next Monday and take vote on Satur-
day following, February l; that on the
next Monday the report Of the finance
committee De taken up and voted on
the following Saturday, February 8;
that on the next Monday the report OF
the suffrage committee be taken up
and voted on the following Saturday,
February 10. The resolution will be
considered today.
Mr.. Brsxton submitted the report Oh
corporations, embracing the plan for
supervising the operations OF corpora.
tions in this State. The report assigned
In whole or in part by ali of the MEM
bers of the committee except Messrs.
Huuton and Brooke. II was ordered
to be printed. The plan provides for
the appointment by the Governor, with
the approval of tle Legislature, OF
commission OF three. The powers OF
this commission are very broad and are
believed TO be sufficient , bring all ofthe
public corporations within their super
vision. The most prominent corpora.
ton men In and out OF the convention
are strongly disposed to admit that the
report will be adopted.
President Cassatt, OF the Pennsyl-
vaDis Railroad, discussing with mem
Der of the corporation and finance
committee, declared that the people of
Virginia had not begun to learn how to
tax corporations. TIE taxes enforced
in this State, Mr.. Cassatt declared, were
the highest on corporations OF any in
the country.
Rev. DR.. Richard McIIwaiue aud Mr..
@. Y. Meredith addressed the suffrage
conference last night. The feature OF
the speeches OF boIn was the vigorous
attack upon the grandfather cliuse.
Mr.. Meredith declared he would rsther
have the present constitution than one
that would license fraudulent election
practices. Mr.. Meredith, who favors a
qualification, will conclude
his speech next Tuesday night.

 The English commodore then sent a demand to the authorities fer i'm mediate satisfaction for having pulled down the British flag from the Topaz and advised the government that if satisfaction were not forthcoming in two hours, the fortress and GUS tom house would be .bombarded. The-asi- thc-itiC5 sent a message tc President Castro asking instructions
 At 5 o'clock the CEarybdis and Yin eta oScned fire on the fortress and GUS tom house. The fort replied. but was soon silenced. No damage was done the town. The United States consul went on board the two cruisers and was informed by the commander that they come to this port in search of Venezuelan warships.
 The bcmbarGnent lasted forty-eight minutes. The fortress was composed cf Fort Solaro and Castle Libertador Alter the firing ceased the Charybdis sent marines to occupy the castle The fortress was almost demolished. It is probable that only a few persons were injured by the smelling. The com mander of Castle Libertador was taken prisoner.
 A ccTmittce Of merchants cs Puerto Cabello pcutioned the American consul here to intervene. The consul visited the cruisers. but could obtain no alter ation of the decision of the allies.
