WILL CONFER HERE SHORTLY

A great deal is being said concerning the
probability OF the Republicans testing the
legal right of the convention to proclaim
its work by taking it into the courts, and
they seem to be firing a double-barretled
gun on the instrument, though 1t IS Sc
riously doubted by many If the matter
will over be taken up.
The following special bearing on the
subject came from the Washington cor
respondent Of The Times last night:
Park Agnew, chairman Of the Repub-
lican State Committee, in speaking OF
the plan Of his party to test before the
courts the legal right of the Constitu-
tional Convention to proclaim the new
Constitution of Virginia, said tonight
that he had taken no steps in the matter
SO far.

mite to consult lawyers on the subject
and have been given full authority to
act I would have seen Judge L. L.
Lewis in regard to this had he been In
Richmond when T was there. AS It IS
I shall go to Richmond at an early date
to consult him. Upon his opinion will
rest entirely our future actions. II ne
advises us to go into court we VIII rhen
see other lawyers. If he advises against
such a move the matter will! be dropped
His advice one way or the other will
settle the question:
Until Judge Lewis is consulted and
gives his opinion, it will not be known
wnat the white Republicans will do with
regard to the matter. The co!oIed mem
bers Of that party seem to De running

ferrins on the subject. James II. Hayes,
the colored lawyer of this city, Is ole
of the attorneys for the coIored wing,
and it is said that they expect to employ
sena tors Hoar and Thurston, Capt. John
S. Wise and Judge Lewis. It seems
that the negroes, through societies ana
churches, have for long time been
raising money to make the fight, and 1t
is said that they have what money they
will need.
What will come of all this no one
can say, but it is apparent that the
Democrats are not at all surprised at
the attempts of the Republicans to over
throw their work. and will De ready to

THE RETURN OF
BISHOP VANDE VYVER.
He is Understood to Be Now in.
New York City.
WILL BE HERE TOMORROW
Rev. Frank Wells to Go to Barton
Heights = Cities After Bishop
Smith-Mr. Durham Here.
Other Religious Notes.

Bishop Van de Vyver. who has been
abroad for the past three months. has
returned and is now in New York From
Information received here indirectly he
reached this country either yesterday
O. the day before and purposes spending
two or three days in the Umpire City,
comforting with reference TO tho new
Cathedral to be built here. 1t is thought
that he will arrive in Richmond to-mor-
row and be present at the services at
the Cathedral Sunday.
The absence of the bichop was con-
su;ned lust about ninety days. He left
Richmond on March 18th and sailed
from New York a few days later. With
out delay he proceeded to 1iaasdonck.
Belgium where his brother lay at the
rcint of death and arrived there III time
to see him pass the turning point and
begin to grow better Through Belgium
the bishop travelled visiting different points
weth which he was formerly associated
and then, 1t is said, went to Ireland
where he has many friends. His return
row just about three months after his
dcps rturc, will be hailed with IeJolclns
C, er the whole diocese.
1t is thought that the Bishop will
preach next Sunday at the Cathedral, or
at least make his presence known to the
people. AT 1flaI Ii1ne also SOule OeAiih bS
news with reference to his brothers con-
dition may be procurable. The
statements now are very vague. and &C
cordine to some his condition is only
temporarily improved Those in posi-
ton to know declare that the Bishops
brother can never recover from the eff
fects of his recent illness
The return of Bishop Van de Fyver
Is looked forward to eagerly, particularly
in view of the fact that In several lines
matters have been at standstili since
his departure. A large confirmation class
is awaiting him at the Cathedral, and
the First Communion and Confirmation
SASS al the Sacred Heart church has been
postponed until he can get back.
There are probably other churches in
the diocese, which. for similar reasons
are as anxious for him to be home again.
1t is not known whether the Belgian
priest. who is to come to this diocese is
accompanying the Bishop. 1t is possible
that he remained behind and will come
on little later.
