Columbia, Sopt. 2J. — With nearly every item of interest that Will come up for cousi leration by the South Cai- oliua constitutional convention, already before it, and the convention down to work in earneat, tho third week was opened for business. Governor Evans has given out to tho press an interview which may be taken -nS a distinct outline of the work pro posed to he accomplished by the major ity, as well as what has already been done. He says: “Tho work o: the convention so far has been preliminary and in committee, but judging from tho reports of tho committees filed up to this time I am satisfied that there will be very little wrangling and that the work will bo harmoniously completed. And I be lieve that it will be the best constitu tion over gotten up for any state. There Is some little tendency towards legislat ing too much, but I believe that that wul be expunged by the convention as rwhole, and that they will be governed by the general principles of govern ment and not by matters of legislation The committee reports will necessarily have great force and they seem to have been framed with very great care, and the chances are that they will bo pass ed with but very few changes. The most important committees are agreed unanimously, I am informed, including the suffrage committee, and the articles upon whicii wo expected most debate bid fair to bo adopted witli but very lit tle change from the committee reports. I see no reason why the convention should continue in session longer than Oct. 1, certainly not longer than Oct. 7. [* “As to tin# suffrage plan, there is but one door open for us, and that will bo the unanmous report of the suffrage committee. I believe that the vast ma- [•Jonty of tiio members are ready to ac cept it now; but of course there will be some debate by (in or two members I who have pet schemes. What I meau [is the Mississippi plan with a lew mod ifications. That is, that wo will pro vide that any person aggrieved shall have a remedy by a direct appeal to the [courts, leaving to tho legislature to pro vide the manner of holding and con ducting elections. •This report will, of course, preserve [the eight box law and registration as | now provided. “I am sorry to see that the majority of tho c nnmittee on executive depart ments refuse to join in recommending giving to t ie gowernor power to re move defaulting officers 1 am satis fied. however, that the good sense of the majority of tho convention will jrevail, and the minority report will adopted in this particular. “1 think that a wise provision, to recognize the divorces granted in other states; that it is one calculated to pre serve the good morals of the country and coming within tho provisions of the constitution of the United States, rhicli requires that duo regard shall tiio decisions and decrees of |ts o. other states. Under the stands the South Carolina nago i- divorced in Georgia and the parties -allowed to marry again and live in that state in legitimate wedlock, while should they return to South Carolina their children by tho second marriage are held to be bastards. This ihould be corrected. "I believe that corporations should controlled under general laws with no special privileges and with proper provisions to prevent consolidation and injustice to operatives, and, whenever a receiver is appointed, the charter should bo revoked and the affairs wound up. “I believe that the term of state offi- I cers should be four years, and that of the legislature two years; and that eemed to be the will of the people it} I the last campaign. I am satisfied that it Will give better satisfaction. Tho aple are s^ck of frequent elections. I’his ^ou’d be a prudent change and I >eiieye the convention will adopt it. believe the area of countiep should |l>e reduced and the tpinimum should bo prescribed ia the constitution. Four hundred and fifty square miles is small Inough. Less than that would be un- Ible to support a competent government ind give to the people better roads, rhich, after all, is the great desidera tum in county affairs. T am satisfied it will be a great mis- |take to put that 2 mill school tax in the constitution. The time will como rhen the national government will see it to interfere in the school question, is well as the suffrage, as the two are lecessarily inseparable. And no quo tan tell to what expediency it will be pecessary to resort in this event. The icople should be allowed to govern biennielves in this particular aud the legislature left free to levy, to collect ind apportion this tax according to the best interests of the state. Two mills Is entirely inadequate aud would not (cep the public schools of the state low running for two months. And, lifter all, it remains to the people to I upplement this tax in order to make he schools efficient. Then, why not save the whole matter to them ? “I believe there is a possibility of ob taining suffrage for women in mnnici- il, school and property elections, but see no reason why, if this is done, t hey should be given full and free snf- rige, equal to men. •' Rumors of u Great Conspiracy In the Cu ban Capital—Eighty-Five Arrests Made In a Few Hour*—The Criais of tho Rev olution, It Is MoUevoil, Kas Nearly Ueen Reached. Chicago, Sept. 25 —A special to The Tribune from Havana, Sept 19, says: “Armed parties of revolutionists aro already in the provinco of Matanzas. aud actually within 75 miles of tho city of Havana. Of greater importance is tho reported advance onto the province of Matanzas. If, as it is said, they have quantities of arms and ammuni tion there concealed, and if they aro really advancing in force, tho crisis ia not far off. “Yesterday morning at 2 o’cloch, while the steamer Santa Barbara, witk the battalion of Tetuan, 1,000men, was waiting outside the harbor, tho gov ernmental chief of police suddenly called in his inspectors and chief offi cers and at 2:30 o’clock these, with re inforcements from the municipal po lice, went off rapidly in many direc tions. • Eighty five persons were arrestol by them within a few hours and are now confined in cells in the Mora cas tie. “Rumors were soon flying around that a great conspiracy has been dis covered and that the initial step was to have been an attack with dynamite on Santa Barbara or on the battalion. “It is said that documents implica ting important personages have been found. It is also said that a largo quantity of concealed arms aud inani tions have been seized. The sequel to the arrests came at midnight, when there was a frightful accident in the harbor. This accident was nothing more or loss than the sinking of the Spanish cruiser Barcastegui, in which 41 lives were lost. This terrible affair, coming close on the heels of the arrest, has caused profound alarm. “While official reports leave little doubt that the collision was accidental, nevertheless it was a strange coinci dence. The question is asked how should the Moratea have been attempt- ii g to enter the port after it was clos ed. and there are those who say the in surgents think it was better to send a Spanish cruiser and an admiral to tho bottom than even a troop ship.” The Fact I bit “One Ko*u" Hu* Intuod it Clinllenge Must Nut Ho Titkon us Ill'll* eating I h it Anybody Hits Guno Hack on Tlielr Sporting Lord — lloss Should Not Have Challt-iige Tln-y Say. London, Sept. 25.—The Times says that there is no ground whatever for the assumption, which has been hasti* Iv made by a portion of the American press, that Mr. Charles D Rose intend ed by his challenge for the America’s cup, to in any way convey an impres sion of disapproval of tho course of the Earl of Dunraven iu the matter of the Defender-Valkyrie races The Evening Standard says: “Tho announcement that a Mr. Rose has challenged tor the America’s cup will create the same dissatisfaction here that it is said to have produced at New York. There was every reason to hope that no British yachtsman would issue a challenge for this trophy until the unfair aud illegal deed of gift should bo cancelled It is extraordi nary that a challenge should be so has tily dispatched by a gentleman who is so little known in yachting circles, aud it seems to be a reflection on Lord Dun- raven. “No one grudges the notoriety that is to bj gained by building a yacht when the owner confines himself to racing iu British waters; but when it comes to a claim to represent British yacht ing in an international contest, and the the challenge is given under tho exist ing circumstances, tho verdict of Eug- lisli yachtsmen must be unanimously hostile.” A Little Comfort inNews, Havana, Sept. 25.—Dispatches re ceived by officials hero report a defeat o: insurgents iu the mountains of Se- boreucal, between Paila and Mazantini. The insurgents, who numbered 600, under command of Quintin Bravo, Fer nandez Gonzales and Francisco Car rillo, were attacked by Colonel Oliver’s column of Spanish troops and their camp was captured with all its provis ions and amgmnition. When tho in surgents withdrew they left five of their number dead and carried 20 wounded with them. None of the gov ernment force were injured. Insurgent bands which had been de feated and dispersed iu the province of Santa Clara aro reassembling in tho province of Matanzas. Troops have bem dispatched from Cardenas to break up these bauds. Colonel Aldecoa has been promoted to a brigadier generalship for his brav ery in defending a convoy of troops and provisions at Guaimaro aud iu the action at Tunas. SOUTHERN INDUSTRIES.

Much IntercHt Manifested In the Katah- ■Iin’* Test of Speed. Washington, Sopt. 24—Navy offi cials aro looking forward with interest to the speed trial of tho ram Katahdin, which is to take placo on Oct. 3. Tho Dolphin has gone north to bo at the trial and the result awaited with general interest. The vessel was built according to de signs furnished Admiral Ammen ten years ago and thero are some experts about tho department who appear to think that it will prove deficient in some important respects and especially in that ot speed. The contract under which the boat was built calls for J 7 knots per hour. At tho private trial, which has al ready boon had, this speed was not at tained, bn’ some improvements have since been made and the builders are hopeful that tho contract requirements will be mo” on the official trial. It has been recognized that the vessel prom ises great power, but to turn a part of this power into speed is one of tho problems in connection with the vessel The vessel was built at Bath, Me., the contract price being $930,000.

Syracuse, Sept. 25—Cool, bracing weather and bright skies greeted the members and boomers of the state con vention when they arose from their beds. Nearly everybody was astir ear ly, for the announcement that thero would be a meeting of the state com mittee, at which tho New Y"ork con tests would bo decided, kept alive the interest, in addition to tho lively can vass lor office being made by tho candi dates lor positions on tho state tickets. At 10 o’clock tho principal interest centered about tho Yates House, where the stato committee was to meet. Senator Hill was ready quite early, but Chairman Hinckley aud some of the others were tardy in coming to the convention hall and the result was that 10 o’clock struck before the committee got together. Tho session lasted just six minutes by the watch and tho only business transacted was the adoption of a reso lution that the committee recommend ed the increase of the stato committee to 50 members. The usual convention resolutions were adopted and the com mittee adjourned. The resolutions provide that there shall be one state committee man from each senatorial district, making 60 iu all, instead of 34 as now. At precisely 12:25 o’clock Chairman Hinckley of tho stato committee called the convention to order and Rev. A. H. Fahnestock offered prayer, asking for peace aud unity. Chairman Hinckley announced that he was directed by the state committee to announce that both sets of delegates from Kings county should be placed ou the rolls, and the following resolution was read: “That iu the event of a roll call of tho convention, two names be called at the head of the regular Democracy aud the head of tho independent organiza tion and so ou down. “That iu the event of the two organizatiaus of Kings county failing to unite upon a candi date tho Democratic organization of which Joseph D. Ball is tho head, shall be, and hereby is declared to be, tho only recognized Democratio organiza tion from Kings county.” The resolution was unanimously adopted upon a motion by ex-Mayor Gilroy of New York. Perry Belmont was made temporary chairman. Mr. Rolmon. said the selection of our presiding officer is an act of .partiality. “I am sensiote to your kindness and accepting most gratefully the honor you nave done me, I ask your indul gence in the performance of my duties.” He spoke almost solely upon state is sues Referring to a third term, Mr. Belmont quoted several sections of the resolutions from tho Democratio plat form of 1873, writ ton by Governor Sey mour. On financial questions, Mr. Belmont declared that the New York Democracy has always been for sound money. He said tho greenbacks caused the driving out of our gold. The speaker concluded with a deuunolatiou of the late Repub lican legislature. Mr. Belmont finished speaking amid much applause at 1:24 Secretary De Freest began the read ing of the temporary roll call imme diately. The names of Flower, Shephard, Hill and Bissoll wore cheered. Contrary to expectation, whon the New York district was reached there was no public notice of a contest until the clerk had read tho entire Tammany delegation, when ex S3cretary Charles Fairchild arose and said: “I present tho contest for 85 seats held by tho New York delegation just read.” There was a burst of applause that lasted for same minutes aud then the chairman said: “Referred to the committee on con tested seats when appointed.” A similar contest from Queens coun ty took the same course. Congressman Sulzer moved that the rules of the last assembly govern the body. Adopted. The usual resolutions were offered ill relation to the appointments of com mittees Ex Mayor Gilroy moved that when the convention adjourned, it be until 10 a m. Wednesday. There were cries of “No!” No!” from tho back of tho hall, put the resolution was carried. MORE CHANGES SOON. Fourth Cl*** Po*tni(»*t«>r« May Coma Ua* dor Civil Service RnUa. Washington, Sept. 25—Both the postofflee department and civil service commission are taking interest in the movement towards patting the fourth class postmasters under the protection ef the civil service laws. While noth ing Is likely to be done, at present, it is probable that before the end of this ad ministration the looked for action will be taken. There are over 65,000 fourth class postofflees iu the country and the num ber is constantly increasing. Of these, some 20,000 carry salaries of less than $50 per annum and at least half are In places where there is greater difficulty in finding a competent and reliable per son who is willing to serve than in choosing between competitors. It is obvious that there cau be no question of examination aud certifioation in the usual civil service method in these offices. Several plans have been sug gested aud a combination of them will probably be adopted. Many of the larger fourth class offices are iu suburban towns near cities hav ing presidential postmasters. It Is now the policy of tho postofflee department to change these suburban fourth class offices to substations of the city office, whenever it can be done. Residents often object, as they fear the identity of their town may be lost, bat gener ally yield when they find that as a sub station they cau get free delivery. All substations come under the civil service law now, tho person in charge being a clerk of the city office. When a fourth class office become a substation, it goes by that fact into the classified service. It is hoped that most of the more valuable fourth class offices may soon be brought in by this means. In • second class office a different method will be adopted. All candidates will be furnished with blanks, on which certain material questions in regard t« the candidate’s qualifications will be asked. Those must be filled by the representative citizens of the place, who certify that they know the candi date aud that the answers they give about him are trne. The candidates making the best showing ou this basis Avill be appointed. The smaller offices will probably re main as they are. This is the rough draft of the present idea It will no doubt be modified somewhat before being put iuto prac tice. BURIED IN ICE. Itoile (lie Truck* to Atlftati*. Atlanta, Sept. 25.—Little Johnnie, the ex bellboy at tho World’s Fair and- itorinm iu Chicago, has just reached this city, having ridden the whole dis tance from Chicago to Atlanta on Ircight trains.

Redding, Cal., Sept. 25.—Maurice Connell, one of the survivors of the Greeley expedition, who has charge of the weather bureau office here, when showu the dispatch from St. John's N. F., stating that the bones of one of his companions who died at Cape Sabine were found by the Peary expedition, said that is very probable the dispatch states what is true. He says that the bodies of four of the men—Pavy Salor, Gardiner and Ben der—who died during the last days, were buried in the ice, as those alive, were too weak to bury them in the ground, where the others were interred. Couneil said he could not understand that if Perry killed ten mask oxen, as stated iu the dispatch, why he should mu short of provisions for dogs and ineu. A musk ox, ou the average, he says, weighs 300 pounds dressed, and ten would give Peary 3,000 pounds of fresh frozen meat. CRANE’S NEXT MOVE. Tb* Attorney General of Texas Will Pray For Irjuuotion Against the PnglllsU. Chicago, Sept. 25.—A special from Austin, Tex., says: It has been learned that Attorney General Crane is arrang ing to sue out an injunction in the dis trict court rff Dallas county to restrain the Corbett-Fitzsimmous fight. If the judge grants the injunction, which he doubtless will, then the fight management, in self defense, must ap peal the ma ^ter to the court of criminal appeal, with a full bench, and thus play directly into the hands of the state, because to get it before this fall bench for a decision is exactly what the state wants, as it is believed a full bench of the court will reverse Chief Justice Hurt’s opiuion. It is well known Governor Culberson does not propose to accept Judge Hurt's opinion as final, and says he wants a full court’s opinion or nothing. May Bm Another International Conteat.
