PROPOSED REFORM OF THE RECORDER OF DEEDS OF- FICE—AN AMENDMENT TO THE JURY LAW URGED— THE RAILROAD PROBLEM, THE WATER DEPARTMENT AND OTHER MATTERS. ‘The walls of the room in the G. A. R. building, where the Citizens’ Committee of One Hundred ‘Ineet, were decorated last night with diagrams ‘land sectional views of the new aqueduct tunrel, Purporting to show the biundersin laying out the lines that Mr. Coryell, the civil engineer, clatms to have corrected. A placard near by contained the following inscription: “Why our water rates were Increased to pay for blunders of Army engineers, ‘They sald two years would complete it. Have ‘een siz years and not done yet.” With this were given the figures showing the cost of the work and ‘the increase In the estimates from time to time. ‘The meeting of the committee opened with a a@iscussion of the report and bill submitted by the committee on code of laws, proposing to fx the compensation of the recorder of deeds and register of wills at $3000 per anium each; pro ‘an Appropriation ot $20,000 to pay for indextog the off iand records; providing » salary of $1,800 = Year for a deputy recorder of deeds, $1,200 for one Clerk, $900 for another, and a compensation of 6 tents per hundred words for copyists. Mr. M * Who presented the report, deseFibed the mUtilat Condition of many of tue’ oid records that needed copying, and the confusion of the old records from lack of proper indices. At present, he sald, It was impossible to tell what the compensation’ of the recorder of deeds was. He had been told that Mr. Douglass compensation the last year be was Ii omice was noc more than $7,000, and Mr. Mat- ‘hews’ compensation amounted proportionately to the same. ‘Mr, Tsuac L. Johnson asked to whom the bill to entrust the supervision of the work of in- Sexing the ola records. Mr. Morsell having re- plied that the Dill provided that the recorder of deeds should have charge of the work, Mr. John- son sald his observation as to any recOrder they hhad bad recentiy, was that he was utterly incompe- tent to supervise the work; it would be throwag money away. The recorders had been incapabie Of devising a plan. Unless they provided for su- pervision of the work by some commission or other- ‘Wise, he would be opposed to the bill, Mr. Morseli said that the recorder of deeds was 4n charge of the office, and the committee thought ‘Ubat he Was the proper person. It would be a re- ection upon him to ‘name another person. “It would be no greater reflection upon him” said ‘Mr. Jobnson, “than the records are.” ‘Mr. Morseli admitted that tne condition of the Tecords was a reflection on the office, but that, ,he thought, was the fault of the present system. ‘The recorder, of course, desired to make as much money ashe could. Mr. Weller objected to com- Dining In one bill the provisions concerning the ——— of baer oMice a ‘that of the Lo ars Of Wills, especially as there was no com; ni against the Management of the latter office. He made a motion which Was lost, to recommit the Feport with instructions to draw up a bill apply- Ing to the Kecorder of Deeds’ ofice alone, An ‘amendment offered by Mr. Jounson providing for the appointment by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the District of competent per- supervise the work of indexing the old Was adopted, and the bill was then adopted asa whole. THE POLICE LAW. ‘The report of the committee on code of laws Yecommending the repeal of the Army and Navy clause of the police law restricting appointments ‘on the police force to men having honorable dis- ebarges trom the Army or Navy was adopted. ‘Major Richards and Major Waiker both made re- marks on this subject, speaking of the embarrass- ment the authorities were subjected to by this Glause originally intended to benefit veterans of ‘the war, Dut no longer of service to them. Its Lion, they said, practically excluded citizens of the District from appointment on the police foree. Major Walker said {t was an actual fact ‘that policemen not familiar with the city had Deen lost on their bea ‘THE JURY Law. ‘The report of the same committee providing amendments to the jury law was then taken up. ‘This provides for 46 grand jurors, the first 23 to Serve during the first 20 jury days of the term of ‘We Criminal Court, avd the second 23, for the re- mainder of the term. Fifty-two names shall then be drawn for the petit Jury of the Criminal Court, ‘We first 26 to serve the Mrst 20 jury days and tne second 26, for the remainder of the term. Stnilar provision is made for a double panel for Circuit Courts. Any person who shall have served as a Juror for the number of jury days provided for, shall be exempted from further jury service, for d Period of one year. After some discussion, the ‘committee accepted an amendment providing that the list of jurors prepared by the jury commission should embrace 1,000 names, and the Dill thus amended was adopted. A PROPOSED BUSINESS COMMITTRE. Mr. Wilson offered a resolution providing for a special executive comuittee to represent the com- mittee in all matters requiring tmmediate atten- Yon until otherwise ordered, said committee to be empowered to tucrease its umber to not exceed- ing thirteen members whenever tt may deem It Dest to do so, and to be required to report Its pro- ceedings to Uke Committee of Une Hundred at each Of its regular meetings. Mr. Wilson spoke of embarrassments the com- mittee pad met wih, through having a number of executive commitiees He said this proposed an arrangement for the summer, When many mem- Bers would be absent trom the city aud it wouid Ve difficuit to secure a meeting of the Committee of One Hundres. Mr. Kobinson objected to disbanding the new Tajlroad committee, which, he said, was the best and most energetic'they had had. Mr. Wilson ‘said Le Would except the railroad matter. Mr. Clarke opposed the appointment of the pro- Posed committee as unconstitutional. He did Rot think the Committee of Ove Hundred should abdicate in favor of an executive committee. He said he understood that tue railroad committee had devised and submitted a railroad plan whigh Redeemed unwise, and believed would not meet The approval of tie Committee of One Hundred. ‘He thought it would lead to disaster to clothe any ‘committee with such powers as proposed. ‘Mr. Weller said he would prefer reducing the quorum of the Committee of Une Hundred to twen- 1, to creating such a commitiee. After some discussion, Mr. Clarke made a motion to lay Mr. Wilson’s motion on the table, and the chair deciared tt lost. Mr. Clarke then raised the potnt that there was Bo quorum, and a count showed that there were Dut thirty-nine present, one less than a quorum. Mr. Wilson thereupon witudrew his resolution, amt the record being expunged, the committee ‘Weat on with ts other business. To PILL UP THE COMMITTEE. Mr. Lehman gave notice of an amendment to the constitution proposing to distribute the representa- on on the committee assigned to West Washing. Yon, Which had withdrawn from its counection with the Comumittee of One Hundred, among the Scher, divisions pro rata. He said it was import. ant to keep the imei! of the commiitee uj Wone bunired. f : Mr. Cuurch offered a resolution, which was adopted, instrucuny the executive committee on Steain railroads to use their best efforts before Congress to have all tracks in South Washington Gepressed so as to pass under all intersecting streets between 3d ahd 133, streets, THE WATER DEPARTMENT. ‘Mr. Larner,reterring to the diagrams and figures On the wali relating to the new Aqueduct,called up the resolution offered by the comuittee on water supply proposing an investigation of the water department and it was adopted, Ihe, resolution | Fequests Congress to investigate the water depart- the Same has been managed in all its branches, Low, where and for what its revenues have vee expended, amd what defaleations, it any, have cecurred, and who is responsibie for the saine- ‘THE RALLKOAD QUESTION.

Collins, At the meeting of the committee on resolutions, after the adjournment of the national convention, Edward Cooper, of New York, presided. The names of Hon. Henry M. Watterson, of Kentueky, and Senator A. P. Gorman, of Maryland, were put {n nomination for the chairmanship, and the re- ‘Suit was the election of the former upon the first ballot by a vote of 22 to 20, four members not voting. At the suggestion of Senator Gorman, Mr. Watterson’s election was made unanimous, and, ‘upon taking the chair, the latter remarked pleas- antly that bad the committee known how nearly in harmony were the two candidates the election Would probably not have been deemed necessary. ‘The committeemen from Florida, Nevada, Montana, and Washington Territory were not present or re- frained from voting. On motion of Mr. Gorman, a subcommittee of nine, which was afterward Increased toeleven, was appointed to drait resolucions and report to the full committee at its. meeting this morning. ‘The subcommittee consists of Watterson, Ken- tan, Oregons sinms Missislppi, ed Fatierson, man, mn; ‘Simms, a nee te tari Teiorwety; Cee land; Burr, lout; rN * lary! connect rag =f Abbett, New Jersey, and Dymot conservatives, ‘THE CONTEST OVER THE RESOLUTIONS. Ata meeting of this subcommittee last night Tepresentatives of various interests that desire at- tention in the platform were given heariogs. The Nevada delegation urged a plank favoring un- Iimitea coimsge ot silvers ‘Schator Tarples of Ip- diana, wanted the committee to be very mild in endorsing the civil service reform policy. The ‘Texas delegation asked for a plank that would be Out and out against, propibition. Prende- rast, for tne Illinois people, asked en- nt of river improvements, and a few other delegations also had interviews on topics of local Interest to them. ‘The committee then went into executive session. Before this, however, Mr. Wat terson stated privately to a ‘friend that he bad Prepared a tariff plank which he proposed to see adopted. It was a square, unequivocal endorse- ment of the President's ‘and left no doubt as to where the "party stood. ‘The deliberations of this committee attracted more attention last night than almost any other side fssue of the convention. Regarding the con- test over the tariff declaration an Associated Press dispatch sald: Monday Senator Gorman and Congressman Scott had reached an unde Standing concerning the tariff plank. They had arranged to reaffirm the tariff clause of 1884 and to add a moderate indorsement of the President’s tariff message, with a long tory of the democratic party's tariff. Scott had also consented to let Gorman have the honor of the chairmanship of the platform committee. Congressman Scott yielded to this compromise in behalf of harmony, and through a desire to bring all disaffected elements of the party into full syinpathy with the Administration. But today the truce was declared off. Gorman, Barnum and thelr high-tariff sympathiz- ers Were more active in visiting the influential men of the various delegations than was relished by scott. There were signs tat the high-tarit men were preparing to steal a march on the other ‘wings of the party. Scott was particularly in- censed at the selection of ex-Mayor Cooper, a strong. protectionist, as the New York nta- Uve on the committee. From the otuer side Scott Was subjected to great pressure, Commissioner Morrison and Henry Watterson calling on him and insisting that no compromise, however small the concession involved, shoula’be made. ‘The agreement between Scott and Gorman was finally delared off, ang Watterson, who had been a candl- date for tlie permanent chairmanship, was put jorward as the candidate of the tariff-reform ple for chairman of the platforin comuittee, NO OPPOSITION TO COLLINS FOR PERMANENT ORGAN- 1ZATION. L. B Cassidy, of Pennsylvania, was made chair man of the committee on organization, and John B. Castieman secretary. The nomination of Mr Collins as permanent president of the convention was made by Dr. Hanrahan, of Vermont. Mr. Cas- eman, of Kentucky, seconded Collins’ name, and he was selected unablinously for recommendation 1o the convention. H. H. Ingersoll was selected without opposition for the convention's permanent secretary. Mr. Prince, the temporary secretary, and all bis assistants were retained for the perma Bent organization as Mr. Ingersoll’s helpers. The Tules of the last national democratic convent: with the addition that during a roil-call no staté having once voted shall be ailowed to change its Vote until all other states have voted, was also adopted. CHURCH WINS IN THE DAKOTA CONTEST. It took nearly four hours last evening for the committee on credentials to settle the faction fight in Dakota between the followers of Gov. Chureh and those of the Dakota member of the national commlttee, MH. Day, Churen won, It was purely @ personal contest, buving its origin away’ back Wilen Church was’ recouended for governor to President Cleveland by Day, who! afterward sought to have some one eise appointed in Church’s stead. A motion to divide the del tion between the contestants being voted dow! the committee went Into executive session, and voted by a large insjority to sustain the Clurca delegates. This action, it 1s understood, means the 1 of Mr. Day'as Dakota member of the national committee and the appointment of ‘Chureh as the successor. BRADY WILL NOT SUPPORT THURMAN. Some members of the Onto delegation continued to oppose Thurman's candidacy yesterday. Robt, Blee held back a long time, and it required the adoption of a unit rule to lead him from his of sition, No sooner had this rule been adopted tuan John Brady Was on his feet, He said: “Gentie- men, you may adopt any rule you like, but I came from Cincinnati to oppose “the nomination of ‘Thurman. You may throw me out of this caucus or intimate that my presence 1s not desired, and I Will stay out. But, nevertheless, I will go to the convention and take my seat as’a delegate, and ‘when the state Is calied I will vote against Thur- man.” ‘This determination caused confusion, and there were treats, but to no Finally, a resolution Was adopted releasing Mr. Brady trom the binding unit rule, and he will ‘act indepen- dently. Brady is one of the staunchest adherents of the Payne-McLean faction. ‘SUIl, last night there seemed no chance of throwing the convention into a fight on the Vice- Presidency, and it was hoped that the convention might fuis 1ts work to-day. COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS BY THE DELEGATIONS. Berore tne adjournment of the democratic national convention at St. Louls yesterday after. noon, Mr. Pusey, of Iowa, offered a resolution providing that the convention hall be opened for Uhe Inspection of visiting clubs during the recess of the convention. Mr. Baker, of Obio, offered an amendisent directing’ the Sergeant-at-arms to provide seats during the session for visiting uni. Jormed clubs. EXx-Gov. Abbett, of New Jersey, Said that he could not see any difference between democrats who came to the convention 1p uniform aud those who came without, and if the motion to allow the doorkeepers to override the national committee and adult every man tn uniform should prevail, he inoved that all democrats be adinitted Without any distinction. Figully the whole ques- ton Was referred to the national commitue for setdement, aud the convention adjourned to 10 o'clock tuts morning.
