The Constitutional Convention has Tor
the second time refused to grant an an
nual appropriation of $4,000 TO the
University OF Virginia. The vote was
40 to 81. The announcement of the re-
suit was received with suppressed ap-
plause. This presumably ends one OF
the most interesting fights OF the con-
vention. The friends OF the university
made a powerful fight and were sup
ported by the most influential men in the
State. both in and out of the contention.
There were two sentiments which c3f1-
passed the defeat of the proposition.
One was against making any appropF;-
/ ,tion in the Constitution and the other
jealousy of other State institutions
