yesterday with 20 members present.
Mr.. Flood offered an amendment to
the roles authoriz ng the clerk to de-
duct 81 for each day member was abb
sent without leave. Judge Marshall
submitted en- amendment TO the rules
providing that rs instead Of majority
should be present in order to TRANSACT
business. These amendments went
over three days, Secording TO usage.
Lsave OF absence was granted great
many on account OF sickness.
The consideration of the judiciary
committee was resumed In the CON-
mite OF the whole, and completed BY
that body. 1t was reported TO TIT
convention aud then discussed In
the open body. The same amend
ments fought over in the COM
mittee were offered in the convention,
and fought over aud defeated, and It
looks as il the judiciary committee's re-
port will be finally adopted practically
az a whole. Section s. relating 10 Cir
cult courts, was temporarily passed by.
All the seoIions except this up to the
tenth were adopted without amend
ment, and pending that section the
hour of adjournment arrived.
Efforts to amend the report so as to
have the members Of the Supreme
court elected by the people and approx.
ed by the Governor we're defeated.
The effort to select the circuit judges
by popular vote will meet the same
fate.
This Is the hst committee report presented
10 the convention. The committee on cities
and towns will present its report today.
Judge Marshall gave notice that today he
would call up his resolution fixing date for
taking up and disposiug Of the suffrage re-
port.
DIR. McIlwaine addressed the suffrage con
ference last night, and dwelt upon the desirs-
bilify Of property qualification. He took
the ground that there was as large vicious
white vote in the Southwest as there was
vicious negro vote in the black belt The
amount OF property tax advocated was 500.
The conference discussed and voted on
various propositions, and all efforts to bind
the members to the action Of the conference
will be defeated by q large majority, as was
the suggestion that the discussion OF the SUI
frage question be removed to the floor OF the
House. Tbey decided to continue the con-
ferencss Monday, Wednesday and Friday
nights, no later thar 10 O'Clock.
There are three reports from the suffrage
committee, one Known ss the Daniel. or ma.
iOrity plan; that formulated By Mr. A. 2.

Wysor. There has been q strong movement
made to bring about an agreement upon some
compromise plan. Thus far nothing has
been accomplished along this line.
