All the gossip now Is veering round to
this question of resembling, eNpunging,

done, and substituting something else
IN it's place Ii the convention adopts
The new rule, and once enters into the
discussion and consideration of all the
resolutions that may be introduced to
tescind and substitute, the committees
will all certainly have to reorganlze and
the convention go over much OF It's work.
The uncertainty about the fate of the
movement to reopen proceedings makes
The question of adjournment more Of
problem than it has ever been. II the
convention stands by the construction
put on the rule by the legislative COM
"mittee, and which it is said President
Fioode also puts upon 1t, and refuses to
adopt the O'F'laherty or Anderson amend
ments introduced yesterday, the con-
rention can complete its work in
week or ten days. On the other hnnd, if
the amendments are adopted and the
resolutions to frescind are adopted, there
IS no possible means Of estimating when
the convention will be able to conclude
The consideration of resolutions which
will be introduced to rescind and sub
stitute.
1t is thought that the report of the
Comrittee on Finance and Taxation will
certainly be completed to-day. The gen
aral opinion and desire expressed last
night was that the suffrage question
would be Immediately taken up, and in
conference be fought to a finish to the
EXCLUSION of every other question, an
hour each day only being devoted to the
work of the conver tion proper.
There was general and heartfelt ex-
oressions of sympat thy by members Of

DEBATE ON w. VIRGINIA DEBT

Tho sessions of the Constitutional Con-
veutjon Yesterday were relieved somewhar
from the tiresome monotony of finance
discussion by a variety Of other Ques ions.
Tho report of the Committee Oh Finance
was nearly completed. only one secIion
remaining to be considered to-day, and a
new section limiting taxation for five
years IL thirty cents on the S160. wh1ti,
was hei,ig disc; Sc ed at the hour OF adj
aournmert Mr.. Witl1ers was making a
strong argument in support of this meas
nre, and it will provoke protracted and
warm debate to-day.
The report Of the Legislative Committee
against resembling the action of the con-
vention in abolishing the hold-over Sem
ate created a dive sion. and the introduc-
ton Of two resolutions to amend the rule
relating to resembling so as to provide
also Tor substituting something in its
place. The significance of these resolu-
lions was taken to mean a vindication of
the position taken by the Legislative Com
mittee and the points of order heretofore
made by Messrs. Turnbull. Withers and
Boaz.
AN AMUSING INCIDENT.
The most amusing incident in the his
tory of the convention occurred at the
opening, when Hon. a. P. Thorn, of Nor
folk, in correcting a ludicrous printers
mistake in the official report developed
into a lumorist of the Mark Twain order.
Mr.. Thorn. rising to question Of per-
sonaa privilege. Just after the opening
by Rev. H. A. Bagby, said that in the
stenographic report of Tuesdays proceed
IL s, just published. the following question
and answer appeared in the course of
speech by him.

He stated that he made TO such answer
to Mr.. Meredith On the contrary. his
whole effort had been to keep Sidney"
from going to that place and also to
prevent him from taking the convention
there with him. Great laughter.o There
might have been times of great exaspera-
ton when he might have had such feel
fngs. but at this stage of the convention
he had borne no such sentiments and
would not under any circumstances at
any tir,e have thought Of giving such
warm expression of them. He was OF
the opinion that the printers had gotten

reduction Of expenses already made by
the convention and the int reased taxes
which would be realized from corpora,
lions would make it absolutely sate ana
GOOD business to limit the tax rate to
thirty cents on the 500. The surplus

to increased income. but to decreased ex-
penses brought about from legislation py
friends of the convention movement IN
the past six years. He quoted figures

not from increased income. He also
showed that this surplus would nave
