Virginia Convention Finally Refers It
to the Legislature.
Special Correspondence OF The Evening Star

erecial Correspondence of The Evening Star.
RICHMOND. Va, February 81 1902.
The convention did little work today, the
pill of rights. disposing of the section
known as the Quarles- Barbour resolution,
felating to the sale of liquor and dealing
with the matter of homestead exemptions.
The sections were agreed to they came
From the committee of the whole though
determined effort was made to have the
amount of exemption $4,000 reduced to
f1.Gn.
The liquor question was referred to the
general assembly, which is to provide for
the holding of prohibition election in the
etate in the year 1905, and II a majority
khal vote in opposition to the granting Of
license then no license shall Issue in the
etate..
The suffrage question will likely be taken
up early next week, and once that question
plain sailing and will end its work within
tied
The only reports that remain to be dis
posed of in the convention, which have al
ready been debated and considered in the
committee of the whole, are these: Cor
pora tiOns, finance and taxation and cities
and towns, and as these have been so thor
oughly discussed 1t Is not thought that
moro than two days will be necessary for
either of them. Members are calcu-
10th of March, though the committee on re-
vision will have to remain here for several
days after the work Is completed by the
convention in order to revise and correct
any errors that may have been made in
the preparation of the several articles.
