Columbia. Sept. 35.—With the be-
Riauing of the week the time for the
iutrodactiou of new matter expired and
the ooustitut on framers got down to
regular work on the matter before them.
The article taken op first was, that
on the executive department, as re
ported from the committee It makes
only two notable changes from the old
coustitntion, one of these giving the
governor power to veto part of a gen
eral appropriation bill while approving
the other parts, and the other creating
an advisory board of pardons, decisions
of which wlil not be final withoat the
approval of the governor. An attempt
was made to amend the section by max
lug the terms of state ofiiuers four years
instead of two, and making the gov
ernor ineligible for immediate re eieo-
tion.
Alter a debate, participated in by
several of the leading members, in
cluding Senator Tillman and ex Gov
ernor Sheppard and ex Congressman
Johnstone, the amendment was killed
by a vote of 64 to 47. Tillman and
Sheppard both opposed the amendment,
while Johnstone favored It
▲ board of pardons was provided for,
bnl the legislature is to name its mem
bers, and its decisions will be subject
to revision and change by the governor.
In other sections, it is made the dnty
of the governor to order an investiga
tion by the proper judicial officer on
receiving a report of malfeasance or
defalcation, and to suspend the accused
official on finding a true bill against
him by tue grand jury.
From the progress made this week,
go far, it is evident that the convention

more or less than the sinking of the
Spanish cruiser Barcastegni, in which

coming close on the heels ot the arrest,
has caused profound alarm.
"While official reports leave little

Mrs Tompkins’ disappearance caused

About Oct. II, 1893, Mrs. Gynne R.
Tompkins left her husband at Wash
ington. D. C., for a visit to her mother
in SL Louis, taking with her their only
child, a boy three years old. Ill health

Washington, Sept 25.—A year ago
Commissioner of Pensions Lochren
said that the limit had probably been
reached in the number of pensions, or
rather in tbe amount to bs yearly ap
propriated fcT pensions, bat that for
two or three years the payments would
remain about ths same. It was bis
opinion tbat there would be a slight re
daction in the number of pens.ouere on
account of deaths, but tuat the allow
ance of new pensione with back pay
and arrears wouid probably keep the
amount about even.
While the amount ot money paid for
pensions w,.l not be materially differ
ent Irom tb- t of past years, it appears
tbat there has been added to the pen
sion rolls during the year about 1,900
names in excess of those that have drop
ped ont, so here has been an increase
instead of a decrease. There have
been a great many outstanding pension
claims a<ljusted during ths year and
tbat accounts for the large increase.
The year has not been very fatal to
pensioners, the death rate being less
than would be anticipated at the time
of life at which the veterans of the lata
War have died.

THE GAZETTE’S OPINION.

London, Sept. 25.—The Pall Mall
Gasette prints a leader on the subject
of the Irish nationalist convention at
Chicago. The Gasette ezpreei** the
opinion that the eocalled new move-
meat is very like the old one, which
was temporarily crashed by the revela
tions in connection with the murder of
Dr Cronin, at Chicago, and the objects
of which, it nsserts, was clearly proven
to be boodle, and not the independence
of Ireland.
"We can afford to smil* at Mr. Fin-
arty’s statements,” says the Gasette,
"bat if the lush will formulate their
demands and agitate for redress tn ths
manner adopted by Englishmen, they
will find England mors than ready to
meet them half way Threats only
stiffen oar back and dull our hearing.’’

have, in response to cironlar letters, re

The letters ar* as follows:
T8 Eaton Terrack,
London, S. W., Eng.
Dear Sir—I have read your letter. Inst
received, with greet interest. I feel no
doubt whatever that the influeno* of the
pope will be exercised In securing for Pro
test ante in the South American republics
the same liberty of contolenoe that Is en
joyed by Roman Catholic cltisene of your
country. 1 need hardly say that your
purpose bee my fullest and most eordlal
sympathy. I tbank you much for your
kindly words with regard to raysslf and
my writing*.
Very truly yours. Justin McCarthy.

London, 8. W.. Eng.
Dear Sir—I am no less honored than
gratified by your expressed wish for my
opinion on eo practically grave e question
as that on which you ask tor it. I can
only say that it seem* to ms a somewhat
wanton waste of time to apply directly or
indirectly to cardinal or pop* for any re
laxation or modifloatlowof the most mon
strous clahnt ever pat forward by the
church. Force, and Force alone, oonfd ob
tain even a show of luetic*, decency or
fair play from the ministers end egente of
s religion which he* never yielded on* lot
of Its atrocious pretentions, except uniter
sheer compulsion or absolute necessity.
Yours most sincerely,
Alokrnun Charles Swinburne.

Drab 8m—I wish yon ell success in
yonr efforts to obtain a relief from gross,
intolerant laws about Protestant mar
riages which exist in some of tb* South
American natione, but I shall be much
surprised if you obtain any real help from
tbe Vatican. Such lawt were once gener
al in Homan Catholic countries. They
were always inspired or suggested by the
priests ana were only abolished w hen the
political power of the church wee restrict
ed or overthrown. Yours faithfully,
