To ABOLISH OFFICE OF 001011113.
The Convention Votes to Abolish the mood
Death Damage limitation—Other Isn-
portant Amendments finally Disposed
of at Albany.
ALBANY, Sept. ill—A combination in
the constitutional convention bolted and
in the midst of third reading forced a
measure through which makes a diner-
ence in the convention finances of over
$6,000. The convention was bulldozed.
On Aug. 9 lhsilvc Democratic delegates
from the, Sixth district were untested,
and McssrslPashlcy, Nostrand, Deter-ling,
Kinkcl and Kurth were placed in the va-
cant seats. Ever since then they have
been urging their claim for mileage and
per diem allowance from the 8th of May.
This amounts in each case to about 8900.
The two seated Republican delegates
from the Erie district, with like claims.
and 20 other members of the majority
joined hands with the live to secure the
adoption of a resolution authorizing the
financial secretary to pay the several men
their 8900.
Mr. Elihu Root was selected as the in-
strument, and in the midst of discussion
of the order of third reading of the bill
abolishing the office of coroner as a con-
stitutional incumbency the resolution was
introduced. Mr. Root said he thought the
payments of what justly belonged tothcse
delegates hnd boon delayed long enough,
and the majority adopted the resolution.
To Abolish Coroners.
Mr. Kinkci afterward said: “We
thought we had waited altogether too
long, so wc obtained the promise of 20
delegates to vote down every bill on the
order of third reading unless our resolu~
tion was adopted. What could they do?
We had the power to break the rulopf the
majority and would have done it had it
become necessary.”
Mr. Tckulsky said: “Why, of course it
was a put up job. I know every one of the
27 in the combination to bulldoze the con-
vention. No, I can’t name them. lam
under obligation."
Mr. Root smiled uncomfortably and
said, “No, there was no combination.”
Mr. (lady moved that the vote by which
the. Vention disagreed with the report
of t ecommittco of the whole on the canal
article be reconsidered.
Mr. Vedder thought the motion should
the add an order to rotor back to the com-
m on canals, with powcrto report an-
other article. Curried.
Mr. Bowers then offered an amendment
increasing the number of judges of the
court of appeals from seven to nine; Lost.
The convention has passed the ainand-
ment of Mr. Dickey abolishing the office
of coroner as aconstitutlonal incumbcncy
-—-yeas, 97; hays, 43.
Mr. fidder's Amendment».
The nc'xt amendment. on tho order of
third reading was that of Mr. Voddcr,
providing that in the legislature below a
bill is passed it shall bu prinlcd audits on

nation, dnuth or dlspiuccmcut of the New

dent of the scouts. In case of incupubil-
ity of the latter the speaker of the assem-
bly shall assume such duties.
Mr. Cochran mnvcd that the amend
ment bc roforrod buck and ulncndcd, sub-
stituting tho words "solxrotary of stoic"
in place of ‘ spunkel' of the «assembly. "
Lost.
Messrs. 'l‘uckcrnnd Bigolcw, cxvsocrc-
tariesuf stntc, voted for this amendment.

The next umcndmont was Mr. Tuck-
cr's. removing the statutory limitation of
$5,000 in crises for rccoveryni dmuagos for
injurics resulting in (loath.
Mr. 'l'ckulsky movod a call of the house.
but it was not sustained.
Mr. (Jluusto said this wasa more pieoeof
legislation not founded in reason. 'l‘ho

limitation.

Mr. Kurth obtained pormisshui and pro.
scntod a rcsolution to the effect that
Thomas iiuohotord was appointed a mes—
scngcr in this convention. and that as he
has been given extra work ho be paid
therefor. Retort-ml.
Mr. \‘oddcr'a mnondmcut came up next.

The question was then put on the mound-
mcnt of Mr. ”Brian, providing that no
person shall be docuicd to gain or lose a
residence by reason of confinement in any
institution wholly or partly supported by
charity. Passednyoas, he; naya, as.
The amendment of Mr. Alvcrd abrogat-
lng Suction 7 of Article 7, which proldb~
its tho sale of the salt springs by the state,
was passcd—yoas, ill; nays, lib.
Mr. Root offered a resolution that the
six delegates from the Sixth district. who
now svutcd a short time ago, he paid the
customary mileage and allowance of '10
pct dav for each day aincc May ii, and
that the committee on privilcges and cloc-
tious be discharged from further consid-
oration of the matter.
Mr. iiowers said thcro was no desirc to
prevent those men being paid, but ho
thought it. an extraordinary time for its
being brought up. There was good au»
thority for question as to whether the
con vontion bad the right to pay those men
for the full session. The unmatcd dale.
gates had received pay up to the time of
their being unseatcd.
Mr. (Jbontc had not the slightest doubt
of the right of those members to their full
uy.
p “it acorns to come down to a question
of law," said he. “as to whether the com
ventlon had full control of the funds ap~
proprlated."
lie thought the action should be defor-
red until an absolute knowledge of the
right course to be armed was obtained.

Machine Voting as Favor.
When the evening session was begun,
Mr. Goodallsraissd the point of no quo-
rum. The rcll was called, and a quorum
being indicated the convention continued
the order of the third reading. Mr. Bill's
amendment, providing that all elections
of citizens. except for such town oflioaa as
may be by law directed to be otherwise
shown. shall be by ballot or by any other
method prescribed by law so long assscrs.
cy be preserved. was taken up.
This allows the use of voting machines,
and Mr. I. S. Johnson spoke of .the ad~
Ivantages of this method of casting a bai-
at.
Mr. Tekulsky— We don't want ma~
chines. We want honest elections. hia‘
chines get out of order too easy. The old
system is the best. I like to touch the
button myself once in awhile, but not at
elections. l Laughter.)
Judge Moore made a strong argument
in favor of the amendment, and his ra-
marks were loudly applauded. Passed—
ycas, 88; says, 57. This vote is more in-
teresting when it is known that 38 votes
are requircd to pass an amendment on
third reading under the rule.
Mr. Dory's amendment came upncxt,
providing for the abolition of the old
commission of codification. Passod~

The chair then put the question on Mr.
McMillan’s proposition limltnig provl

nual supply bill to those which relate spe-
cifically to some particular appropriation
in the bill.
Mr. J. Johnson moved that tho bill be
referred back to the committee on legisla-
tive powers and duties. with instructions
to add ascctiou embodied in a proposi-
tion by Mr. Johnson in relation to classi-
fication and government of cities and re-
port forthwith.

laughter by Democratic members. One of
them thought it might be perfectly apro'
poa to tuck the proposed addition to the
educational article. The motion was lost

The next was Mr. Roche's amendment
to the present qualification of voters by
the extension of the period of citizenship

Mr. Kollogg interrupted the discussion
by moving an adjournment, which was
carried.

leausc, Sept. i9. ~— The twenty~
eighth national encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic assembled this
morning at the Grand Opera House, Fifth
avenue. Speeches of welcome to command-
er-in-chlcf and delegates of the encamp-
ment were delivered by Daniel C. Ripley,
chairman, and W. C, Quincy, chairman
committee on invitation and reception.
Addresses of welcome ware also deliver-
ed by Hon. Robert E. Pattison, governor
of Pennsylvania; B. McKcnna, mayor of
Pittsburg, and Hon. William M. Kennedy,
mayor of Allegheny.
The first session of the Woman's Relief
corps was held at the Baptist church, Ross
street, between Fourth avenue and Dia-
mond street; first session of the Ladies of
the Grand Army of the Republic was held
at German Lutheran church, corner of
Smithlleld stroet and Sixth avenue; first
session of Daughters of Veterans was held
at Methodist Episcopal church, corner oi
Smithileld street and Seventh avcnuo.
An immense Crowd Present.
The big parade passed off with fewer
accidents than were expected, and none
was serious. Several women fainted in
tho crowds along the sidewalks, and afcw
prostrations among the veterans were re-
ported. but such thorough preparations
had been made for this class of cases by
the hospital corps of the national guard
that immudiatc attention was given and
spscdy rulioi afforded. :
The police arrangements for handling
the immense crowd, conservatively asti-
matcd at 750,000, were as nearly perfect
asposslhlc, and the streets along the route
were kept absolutely clear for the use of
the marchers.
A neat tribute the veterans paid the
memory of the famous dead was the rev-
erend raising of hats by each division as
it approached the triumphal arch on Fifth
avenue. Tho lifciikc statues of Washing-
ton, Lincoln and Grant surrounding the
arch were given this recognition by almost
every division passing through.
The nearest approach to undue excito-
ment wasvwhcn three alarms were turned
in for a tire on Union strcet, just at the
foot of Filth avenue.
The Union hotel was ablaze, and from
its location in the mldstof old and closely
built blocks grout alarm was felt.
, fiTho tire was soon controlled, but the ox!
citement among the immense number of
promenaders on the streets did not die out
for some time.
The national convention of Union cx-
prisoners of war met and reelected the
old oillccrs for another year. No other bus-
lncss of general inter-0st was transacted.
The president is Charles D. Davis of Bos-
ton; vlcc pmsident, George W. Grant of
Minneapolis, and narrowly-treasurer, J.
Is. Kllgnre. Tho ex~prisoncrs paraded this
forenoon.
Grand Army Politics.
The G. A. R. political situation is very
hot. and the friends of the several candlo
dates for commander in-ohlof are working
like beavers for their friends. Indica—
tions point to the election of I. S. Walker
of Indiana as commandl-r-in-chlef and to
Louisville as the place of meeting for the
next encampment.
Judgc Long of Michigan last night
formally withdrew from the rum forconi
mandor, thus leaving the contest practi-
cally between the Indiana and Illinois
candidates.
The present. commandcr-in-chlof, Ad-
ams, favors Walker of Indiana, and so
expresses himself privately. but Lawler's
1 friends are hopeful of success and will much longer they will have to wait.
not admit that thorn is any such thing as
defeat.
"As Pennsylvania goes, so goes the eu-
carnpmcut." has come to have considera-
ble significance, and as Pennsylvania in-
vors Walker and Louisville her votes are
being eagerly sought. 0th is also in
line for Walker, but insists in the city
that secures the oncnmpmcnt getting a
uniform railroad rate of 1 cont within ill)
days after solectlon, and should it fail the
oxccutivo committee shall have the right
to select any other city that can provide
for thel cont rate. lndlaua is in favor
of Louisville, and of course for Walker
also.
St. Paul hustlors are still in line and
working assiduously for their city.
It is rumored that the convimtion today
will take a short moose to allow licnry
Wottcl‘son to present the claims of Louis-
ville. lt is said he will malts the effort of
his life.
The Big Parade.
It is estimated that room: men were in
line in the big parade.
'f'bo decorations of the two cities wem
moat lavish. it was stated by men who
had attended many previous oncomp»
ulcntstbnt, while Individual displays may
have been excelled in other cities. they

crous and gcnsral scalo. lianliy n dwell-
ing, no nmttor how poor nor how for
from tho routs of parade, but at least
had a flag and usually a display of bunt:
ing nswell, while the business houses in
ovcry part of the cltics made a gorgeous
showing. This was probably the lost time
the veterans will turn out in such form.
as it is seriously contemplated by the G.
A. it. officials, In view of the advancing
age and inflnnltios of the members, to
abandon this most attractive feature of
the national encampment. Thorelorsthey

Governor l’sttiscn of Pennsylvania,
with his stall and a number of notable
men and women from all parts of the
country, occupied the reviewing stand in
the Allsghany park and salami each di-
vision as it swung around and passed in
review. The arrangements for the com-
fort of the members were excellent. At
short distances apart were stationed smor-
gsncy hospitals, with thsred cross flutter-
