2 EFFORT TO HOLD UP VOTE OP VIRGINIA Petition From Negroes not Allowed to Register. CASE BEFORE WADCILL It is Asked That Certificates of Ehciion be De nied the Ten Congressmen on Grounds That the New Constitution is Invalid. (Ry the Associated Press.) Norfolk, Va., Nov. 15. —In the United States Court this afternoon John S. Wise, formerly of Virginia, now of New York, on behalf of William H. Jones, Edgar Poe Le? and John Hill, negroes, filed a petition against the State Board of Can vessers, asking the court to restrain the hoard from canvassing the Congressional vote of the State on the 21th instant. The board is composed of Governor Montague, David Q. Eggleston, secretary of the Commonwealth; Morton Matye, auditor of Public Accounts; Asher W. Harmon, Jr., Treasurer, and William A. Anderson, Attorney General. The petitioners, two of whom claim to he tax-payors and able to read and v. rite, and the third to have fought for the United States in the Indian War, al lege that they were refused registration under the new constitution, which they claim is invalid, and which conflicts with the Constitution of the United State?. The petitioners can be joined by any man, white or Mack, in the State who claims ho was entitled to registration and was refused. The petition was argued before Judge Waddill, beginning at one o’clock this afternoon. If he grants the petition the entire Congressional vote of the State will b. held up until the matter is argued. At all events it will go to the State Supreme Court and eventually to the Su preme Court of the United States. The petition asks that the canvasser? l e restrained from issuing certificates of < lection to the ten Congressmen on the ground that the present constitution is in valid and that the constitution of 1869 is vet in effect. Judge Waddill reserved his decision. A Sir OF ROYAL OS3ULATION. William and Edward Separate at the Station With K 15369. (By the Associated Press.)

London, Nov. 15.—The Evening News announces tha the Crown Prince of Siam, Chowfa Maha Vajirazudh, is en gaged to marry the eldest daughter of the Emperor of Japan. The Princess is 14 years of age.

All Day lie Keeps up the Pursuit, Wearing out Hen aud Doga to no Put pose. (Bv the Associated Press.) Smedes, Miss., Nov. 15.—N0 fresh bear skin had been hung up today at the camp on the Little Sunflower up to 430 o'clock this afternoon. At that hour, the Presi dent, Mr. Mcllhenny, and Holt Collloi were still out in pursuit of a bear, which was started early in the morning, but the remainder of the party had abandoned the chase and twenty of the twenty-eight dogs had straggled back to camp com pletely worn out. The President had hard luck today; twice he narrowly missed a chance for a shot. The pack split almost immediately after leaving this morning, Holt Collier, with half the hounds followed the trail of one bear down the river and nothing had been heard of him at four o'clock. The other bear went in the opposite direction and gate the President, the other members of the party, and the rest of the dogs a merry chase. He was a big follow and kept well ahead of the dogs. He was cut off several times and threshed up and down the brush over an area of about four square miles. Once ( Mr. Dickinson and Major Molman heard him close by, but they did not get a glimpse of him. At one stage. Mr. Foote, who was with the President, heard the dogs quartering through the woods above them and by hard riding he and the President managed to reach a cut-off ahead of the pack- They waited and Mr. Foote felt certain that the 1 President was at last to have a shot, but they were too late. In about five minutes the dogs swept by in full cry, within thirty yards of them, but old bruin had passed before they got there. Two hours later, the ! President had another unfortunate ex perience. The digs were by this time playing out rapidly, owing to the exces sive heat, but five of them had hung on and finally brought the beast to bay In a dense thicket. The President and Mr. Foote hoard the dogs fighting him, anc got within one hundred yards of the row on their horses. There they dismounted i and went in. but the bear evidently heard j them and fanning off the dogs, turned THK NEWS AM) OBSERVER, TUESDAY MORNING, NOV. 18. 1902. and fled before the President got sight of him. The fact that he disposed of the dogs so easily indicated that he was a large strong brute, and this was proved later when he w’ent into the identical water hole where bear was bayed yes terday. Secretary Cortelyou and Dr. Lung, who were in the thicket close by, heard the splash, but tt\e animal did not stop and neither of them got up in time for a shot. When they examined the queer, half-human footprints where he went In which measured eight inches across, the experts declared that this indicated that he was very large, probably weighing 400 pounds. The bears killed yesterday furnished meat for the camp last night and to day. Daughters Re-elect Officers. (I3y the Associated Press.)
