THE rHRoEs Of the convention which
has been 10 session 10 Louisville tn'S
uask have eliminated 10 bringing 10
birth another political party under
the name of tina Allied Peoples Party
Of the United States composed OF GER
tain elements opposed to both sne
democratic and republican parties.
The platform Of the organization en-
bodies the platform adopted at the
conference held in Kansas City last
september, when q call for a conven-
ton was issued, ITO unite reform forces
against plutocracy." 1t reafarms the
spirit of the declaration of principles
adoptsd at the national conventions oil
the Peoples Party In st. Louis,
Omaha, and Cincinnati. and the de-
mand for the initiative and referendum
aud the government ownership OF all
public utilities are its principal planks.
The infant party is now 10 Its sWad'
ding clothes and bears marked re-
ssmblsuce to several others which
have disturbed the peace and dignity
OF the country during the past lew
wears. none OF which have arrived al
manhood. About the time the two
Recognized political parties OF the
COUNTRY lock horns this mewler will
be passing through it's period OF deDtl
ton, and the torrid waves produced BY
the struggles Of true democracy to re
the country of present conditions vii
doubtless lay 1t low.

HOUSE.

The House today passed without OBJ
position deficiency bill carrying an
appropriation Of S192,7S7. Then, In
committee OF the whole, consideration OF
the Chinese exclusion bill was begun.
Mr.. Hit, chairman Of the committee
on foreign affairs, outlined the provis
ions of the bill. He wss OF the opinion
that the admission OF Chinese laborers
into this country would be serious
evil. Every effort had been made to
secure the exclusion of Chinese coolies
and he expressed the belief that the
bill before the House was adequate.
Ths bill, be said, guards against the
evils existing under the present law
whereby Chinese gain admission to the
country from the abuse OF transit priv
iIeges. This country, he continued,
desires to obtain its fair share OF COM
merce with the East and with China,
and in our treatment OF the privileged
Glasses, the genuine merchants and
students was allowed by treaty to enter
this country. The committee has en-
deavored to frame bill which will
avoid any discourtesy or annoyance
which is not required to prevent fraud.
Mr.. Perkins the member of the for
elgn affairs committee, who drew up
the report on the bill, entered into o
lengthy discussion of its provisions.

The REAPPoRTIoNMENT BILL.-A
dispatch from Newport News says
that the Eight for the respportionment
OF the State into congressional districts
is not ended with the veto by Governor
Montague of the bill which passed the
legislature was confirmed there last
night, when 1t was learned that several
OF the leading lawyers OF the city will
soon make a move which will land the
case In the courts. The first step will
be to petition the keeper OF the rolls OF
the General Assembly to enro j thebill.
This request being refused, as 1t will be.
q mendamus will be obtained compell-
ing the keeper of the rolls to take this
action. Ultimately, IL is hoped to &C.
cure a epecial session OF the Legislature
for the purpose OF passing the bill over
the veto or securing the passage OF a
new bill.
A dispatch from Richmond says:
1t is understood to be the purpose OF
those who favored the bill, vetoed by
the Governor, redistricting tue State
for Congressman to carry the case to
the Supreme Coart Of Appeals. II this
plan is carried out the proceeding will
be to apply TO the clerk OF the House
for certified copy of the act. This
having been vetoed by the executive,
the clerk would refuse to grant the
request. Thereupon application would
be made to the Court of Appeals for
writ Of mandamus to compel that officer
to comply. -,
The best.informed people OF the
State do not believe that the case Will
be taken to the courts, but that the
Governors veto of the spportionment
bill will end the matter till the next
meeting of the legislature.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
WASHINGTON. D. g.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
The convention got back 10 the
hall of the House of Delegates yester-
day, and all the members we're glad to
be back, the hall being much more
comfortable than that In the Me-
ohanics' Institute.
The convention devotsd the entire
days session to consideration OF the
Gillespie plan of suffrage. and speeches
of members who desired to state their
positions with reference to the various
suffrage plans, and the plan finally sp-
proved by the majority.
Although the republicans OF the
convention had all OF the day for them
selves, they set an excellent example
by consuming only an hour and half.
Their example was not emulstsd by
the democratic members, for instead Of
coming to a fnal vote, another series Of
speeches was begun, which continued
uutil 6 O'Clock. Messrs Pedigo and
Davis made the principal speeches for
the republicans. Mr.. Pedigo, de-
liyered long speech, In which he at
tackled the plan adopted by the demo
cratic conference. He predicted that
the Federal Supreme Court will de
clare the scheme invalid. Mr.. Pedlgo
defended the negroes.
Mr.. Flood sought to have time
fixed for a vote on the resembling reso'
luton, but the convention declined to
do so and refused to vote on the res
ending resolution until after the
amendment to the rules had been
adopted.
1t Is yet an unsettled question
whether the convention will undertake
to take up and decide the matters yet
undecided before the recess, or post
pone them until they return from their
homes. Apparently the disposition Ia
to postpone everything else and take 8
recess as soon ss the suffrage clause IL
completed. After the suffrage will
come the question OF resembling she ar.
toles for reducing State taxes to 81
cents and for sboiishing holdoveI
| Senators.
1t Is believed that the convention
will adjourn for 90 days' recess by
not later than Wednesday.

Killing Jackrabbits on Salary.

Tom Murray. who came in from Quin
River Crossing THIS afternoon, has been
for two months engaged in the some
what move occupation of killing jackrab-
bits on salary. He has been employed on
the Miller & Lux ranches, on which the
jacks were so numerous as to threaten
the destruction of the alfalfa crop. Mr..
Murray is a sure shot with firearms of
any kind. He used a 22-calibre rife in the
slaughter OF the rabbits and every cart
ridge which went into the gun represent
ed one less OF the pests. This method of
getting rid of them was somewhat expen-
sive. but nevertheless proved a good in
vestment for the firm through saving the
hay crop. During his two months work
or sport. which ever 1t might be called,
Mr.. Murray killed several thousand rab-
bits and holds the State championship in
this particular line of determination.
