of this discussion, that the first rifle COM
pany under the proposed law will be formed
in the District. its members being minute
men. Steps to that end were taken at the
meeting.
Secretary Roots great-gra ndfather was

identified with him to press the case Mr..
Aiken recommended the appointment of
John Albus. With the issue squarely drawn
between the two factions Mr. Kerens finally
recommended Mr.. Brewster as a compro-

REPORT on CITY ORGANIZATION.
Virginia Convention Finishes That
WOrk-New Suffrage Plan.


Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
RICHMOND, Va, January %. 1902.
The report of the committee on organiza-
ton and government of cities and towns
was completed in the convention today, an
amendment being adopted providing that
cities should be redistricted as often as
the councils might desire, but that appor-
tionment for members should be made each
ten years. A feature of the report is that
it does not say that the apportionment
shall be made on a basis of population, but
leaves the basis of apportionment entirely
to the cities.
The effect of this is to insure to all cities
in which there is big negro population the
certainty that the whites will control all
the city legislatures. as the section adopted
does not provide that the redistricting shall
be on a basis of population, but merely
provides that the reapportionment shall be
made once in ten years. Thus ward OF
district containing 10000 negro population
will not necessarily have more representa-
tion than a ward with only 10000 white
population.
The report was completed and sent to the
committee on final revision.
Delegate Henry c. Stuart of Russell to-
day presented suffrage plan to the con-
vention. 1t is essentially the same many
others that have been presented to the
convention. 1t contains the soldier and
grandfather Clauses, reSlOence OF TWO

voters to prepare and cast their ballots
without assistance Except when physically
disquaified) and an understanding clause.
The ballot box is to be kept in full view of
the public at all times and the votes are to
be counted in public.
Section is the most unique proposition
yet presented, however. Mr.. Stuart is
from what Is known the white section of
the state-southwest Virginia-and he pro-
poses that the features enumerated above
shall apply to the entire state with the
additional power being left to the general
assembly to prescribe such other qualfica-
tions as it may deem wise and proper for
the counties, cities and towns lying east
of the Blue Ridge mountains exempting
the white counties of the state from such
provisions as conditions in the black belt
might require

TARIFF ON CUBAN PRODUCTS.
Hearing Before the Ways and Means
Committee Yesterday Afternoon.

Hearing Before the Ways and Means
Committee Yesterday Afternoon.
Members of the delegation of Cuban
planters-George R. Fowler, Joaquin Pie
dra, Octavio Smith and Octavio Davis
were heard at the afternoon session of the
ways and means committee yesterday their
statements being along the same general
lines Of arguments made by Chairman Ma
chado.
Commissioner Degetau, the representative
of Porto Rico in Washington made a brief
statement to the effect that Porto Rico op-
posed the reduction of duty to Cuba as
likely to be menace to Porto Rico sugar
exports. Already Cuba had placed a s12
duty on Porto Rico coffee, thus injuring
that trade, so reliance was now placed in a
continuance of the sugar trade.
Mr.. Mendoza of the Cuban delegation
ing surprise that Porto Rico should cast
her influence against Cuba after Porto Rico
had reaped all the benefits of the war which
Cuba conducted.
1--WE had the fighting" said Mr.. Mendo-
"a. "and now they get free sugar to the
United States on account of our war.
1--WE had no fighting to do" responded
Mr.. Degetau, because we received the
Americans with open arms
w. l.. Churchill of Bay City, Mich, chair
man Of the beet sugar delegation from that
state, declared that the real issue was be-
tween the sugar trust and the domestic
fidence that Congress would not cast it's
influence on the side of the trust
The Secretary of War continues to re-
ceive cable messages from native officials,
planters and merchants of Cuba appealing
to him to use his best endeavors to secure
tariff concessions on Cuban sugar and to-
bacco. Messages have just been received
from the mayors Of the principal cities of
Cuba from the members of the supreme
court, from judges Of Havana and from
leading planters.
Chief Justice Cruz Perez of the supreme
court of Cuba cabled as follows:
THE members Of the supreme court de-
sire to state that the economic condition of
Cuba Is disastrous. Ruin imminent unless
there is a reduction on sugar and tobacco
The mayor of Cienfuegos said that the
prosperity of Cuba depended on tariff con-
cessions by the United States, as did also
the reconstruction and tranquility OF the
island. Mr.. Juan Pedro Baro said that
without reduction he would be Compelled
to stop grinding sugar, with the result that
5 900 laborers would be thrown out of work.
The general tenor of all the appeals was
that tariff concession was a question of
life or death to Cuba, and that failure IN
make them meant ruin, misery and hank
ruptcy for Cuba. Copies of these messages
were sent to the House ways and means
committee.
