VIRGINIA CONSTITUTION.
Now heing Argued by Learned
Counsel at Richmond.

Counsel at Richmond
Richmond Va, Nov 2s.-The case
brought by John S. Wise. on behalf of
certain negro complainants, 10 re-
strain the State Board of Canvassers
from issuing certificates of election to
the members of Congress elected In the
last congressional election. and inval-
date the new Virginia constitution was
called in the United States Circuit
Court at $3.50 O'Clock this afternoon.
Chief Justice Fuller presided and
Judge Waddill sat with him. Attorney
General Anderson and Frank Christian
represent the commonwealth.
Mr.. Wise opened for the complain
ants and was still speaking when court
adjourned for supper. Up to that time
the trend of the Chief Justices queries
to counsel was against Mr.. Wise. The
latter's contention that the constitution
was vitiated by the refusal of the mem
bers of the convention to take the oath
led the Chief Justices asking II the
convention was not a convention de
facto. To the argument that com
plainants were without remedy as to
certain matters. the Chief Justice ask
ed IL Virginia did not have a Supreme
Court.
MIR. Wise resumed his argument aft
err supper, and one Of his main conten-
tons was that the convention had no
powerato proclaim the constitution.
At the conclusion Of his argument
Mr.. Christian began his reply for the
commonwealth. MIR. Christian devoted
himself largely 10 the question of right
of proclamation, and cited numerous
authorities combating Mr.. Wise's con-
tention. At the conclusion of Mr..
Christians argument, court adjourned
until 10 O'Clock tomorrow morning.

PALMA ACCEPTED
TAMAY0'S RESIGNATION.
Head of the National Party Drops In
the Basket.

the hasAeA-
Havana, Nov 2S.-At a special meet
ing of the cabinet. presided over by
President Palma, it was unanimously
decided to accept the resignation of Sec
rotary of Government Tamayo. Secre-
tary of Instruction zero assuming the
duties of the vacant post until new
secretary is appointed.
That President Palma did not re-
quest Tamayo to reconsider his resig-
nation was unexpected by the Nation
alist party, which hitherto has been in
the front of Cuban politics. The Re-
publicans are jublant at the practical
dismissal of the president of the Ma
tionalist party from the most impor-
tant position, and claim that this step
means the breaking up of the party.
President Palma was confronted with
difficulties, whatever course he might
take. 1t is understood that Secretary of
State Zaldo had taken the removal of
Tamayo as a personal matter since the
morning of the rioting. when he ac-
cused Tamayo of mixing up in politics.
The two men had hot words over the
strike in the presence of President
Palma. and it was then that Tamayo
resigned his portfolio. Secretary zaldo
said that unless President Palma ac-
cepted Tamayos resignation he would
resign himself. and intima ted that
Secretary of Finance Monies and Sec
rotary of Public Works Diaz would go
out with him.
The municipal council has passed a
vote of thanks to Mayor O'Farriil and
approved his conduct during the
strike. The press predicts that the new
secretary of government will remove
the Mayor and reinstate the chief of
police, whom O'Farrill discharged for
acting vigorously against the strikers.
The cigar manufacturers have SUBJ
mitted various propositions to their
workmen. which the latter will vote
upon next Sunday. II no agreement is
arrived at, the cigar makers viii en-
deaVor to call another general strike.
