CONSIDERING JUDICIARY REPORT.
Virginia Convention Has Not Reached
Suffrage Question Yet.

Virginia Convention Has Not Reached
Suffrage Question Yet.
Speci.I Correspondence Of The Evening Star
RICHMOND, Va, January 8. 1902
The determination Of some Of the active
members of the convention to force the
fighting in the body and to compel the
members to attend was renewed today,
Mr.. Marshall of Craig Offering a resolution
providing for taking up the report of the
suffrage committee January Is and making
it the special and continuing order until it
shall have been disposed of. Amotion by tue
same member to take up the report January
ID and to have vote January % was de-
feated In the convention yesterday by a de-
cIsive vote The motion made today went
over until tomorrow.
Consideration of the report of the judi
ciary committee was resumed early in the
morning the pending question being an
amendment offered by Mr.. Barbour to re-
quire cities to pay all of the salaries Of
judges of city courts. The debate last ed
for nearly an hour and the amendment was
rejected.
The convention reconsidered the action
of yesterday, whereby $1,000 was fixed as
the minimum population for the formation
of new circuit courts. and fixed the num-
ber at 10000.
1t was decided that the legislature should
be empowered to rearrange the circuits of
the state within two years after the adop-
ton of the constitution, if the business of
the courts demanded a change and an in
crease in the number of circuits
Section 49, providing for the removal of
judges by Impeachment or by majority
vote Of all the members of both branches of
the legislature was agreed to.
Section 10, prohibiting judges from prac-
ticing law. except that judges of courts in
cities of the second class may act as COM
missioners In chancery, was agreed to.
Section 20, requiring judges and court
officers to continue to discharge the duties
of their office until their successors shall
have qualified; section 81, defining how
Writs shall issue and how indictments for
oTenses shall conclude, and section % pro-
viding for the election Of an attorney gem
eral at the same time that the governor Is
chosen, were all adopted without debate
Section % dealt with the question of Sc
lecting justices of the peace and opened up
great discussion and provoked a flood cf
amendments. An effort was made to have
the justices elected Jby the people in the
counties and to have them appointed in the
cities by the judge Of the city courts, bu.
this was defeated. A substitute was offered
by Mr. Barbour, which was agreed to, en-
powering the general assembly to prescribe
the number, jurisdiction and manner of
choosing these officers.
When the convention adjourned for the
day motion was pending for reconsidsr-
alton of the vote on the section providing
for the election of judges of the courts by
the people. it being. understood that Mr.
Eugene Withers of Danville desires to he

can scarcely be oyerStated. Nor can
any limit be placed upon the amount of
actual benefit which will accrue to the
United States If the department will con-
tinue along these lines of practical agricul-
tural progress"
Prof Whitney has expressed his great
regret that the department must lose the
valuable services of Mr.. Floyd but took
pains to add that his separation from the
service would not interfere in any way
with the progress of the tobacco experi-
ments now being undertaken and to be un-
dertaken hereafter in other parts of the
country. As far as the Connecticut valley
work for tobacco is concerned Prof Whit
ney regards the experimental stage as past.
THE departments work there" he said re-
Gently. ''is practically ended. The expert
mental work is done, the people are CON
WINGED. and the progress of the work NAV
now be properly left to private enterprise. !"

EMPEROR A FIGUREHEAD.
China Under Absolute Sway of the
Empress DOwager.

China Under Absolute Sway of the
Empress DOwager.
A dispatch from Pekin yesterday says:
All evidences indicate that the Emperor
of China is now more completely under
the domination of the dowager empress
than he was before the Chinese court went
into exile. Several high officials were
granted audiences today, during which the
emperor filled the role of figurehead. The
dowager empress sat on his majesty's left
and conducted the conversations. Accord
ing to the accounts of two of the officials
who were received today, the dowager en-
press ignored the emperor. and the latter
did not attempt to take any part in the
affair. These officials say his majesty ap-
peared melancholy and listless.
The principal topic of conversation dur
ing these audiences was the presence in
Pek1n of the foreign garrisons. The
dowager empress seemed impressed with
the necessity of a conciliatory policy.
Evidence accumulates pointing to the
timidity of the dowager empress about
coming back to Pekin. Her first remark X
upon alfghting at the Machiapu station
yesterday was, Where are the foreign
soidlers! Upon seeing number of news
paper correspondents at the station the
dowager empress bowed to them obseaui-
ously. Before leaving Pao-Ting-Fu in the
special train yesterday the dowager .em-
press requested Traffic Manager Foley Of
the railroad not to use the locomotive wflis-
tie, explaining that she was extremely
nervous, and that the whistle frightened

CROKER PREPARES TO GO,
Ships Large Quantity of Household
Effects to ENGLAND.

The New York Tribune Of today says:
Tammany democrats were greatly inter-
ested last night over the announcement
that about sixty boxes of household effects
belonging to Richard Croker were shipped
yesterday to England on the iceland, of
the Red Star line. which took the place
of one of the regular American line boats
What surprised the intimate friends of Mr.
Croker was the early shipment of the goods
and the extent and apparent variety of the
contents. 1t was reported last night that
the shipment of Mr.. Croker's household
effects yesterday portends his early depar-
ture for Vantage. The character Of the
shipment indicates in the minds of the
faithful. who studiOusly watch every move
OF the Tammany chieftain, that he is 60
ing this time for long stay. AT the down.
town express office where the boxes were
piled two watchmen had been detailed to
Keep an eye on them, 1t was said, ever
since Monday last. The boxes, according
to gossip, were marked ''silverware," "bric-
a-brac," glassware" and so forth, with
the usual requests to handle them with
care. 1t is said that this is the first time
that Mr.. Croker has ever shipped any
household effects or objects of art from
New York to his country home in Want
age.
AT the Democratic Club LAST night it was
said that. while 1t was known that Mr.
Croker had shipped a quantity of belong
ings to England, 1t was not known how
soon he would start for the other side. 1t
is his expressed intention to stay until af-
ter the next meeting of the executive COM
mlttee of the Tammany general committee
which will probably be called for the last
week Of January. The early shipment cf
his belongings, however, makes many of
his friends think that Tammany will be
without it's ruler after the American line
