Wasliingtun, Feb. 24. Today's session of the sixth continental congress of the National Society of tcie Daughters of the American Revolution opened with the singing of "America" by Virginia Guodwin of this city, and early developed into a protracted fight over tiie publication of the minutes uf tiie national board. The biggest light of the convention, that over the revision ot" the constitution, was unexpectedly sprung on Itie congress this afternoon. The nucsUon has led to the arraying of factions, and preparation had been made fur a bitter struggle.

There are several notable changes made in the revised document, which constitutes Hie report ot the committee appointed to make the revision. Notable among these are provisions giving congress legislative powers; holding the congress in Washington bieniaiiy, and in some other city on intervening years instead of always at Washington, and a limitation of the number of meetings of the board of national officers to four times a year, instead of once a month. More heated discussions have never marked thel past meetings of the body The proposed constitution was sea til -j ingly denounced by some of the dele-J gates. Several motions and resulu-i Hons were lost in the confusion, and ouesiions put to the chair were fre quently answered by tHie audience in concert. Mrs.

E. N. R. McLean of New York, chairman of the committee, attempted to explain the new document, and of. fered a resolution to accept the report, except such provisions as might be voted down.

Sb8 was interrupted with a motion to reject it in toto. and an uproar ensued. The committee tried to show that the constitution had 'been revised and not evolutlonized, but Chairman McLean's explanation that she favored special changes was greeted with the largely applauded point that the minority report was not in order. Mrs. Walworth of this city severely criticised the work, and moved to lay the whole matter on the table.

Tfris would have ended the agitation, but the motion was voted down. Numerous mild controversies occurred, and opponents of t5ie measure declared that the proposed constitution was not a revision but. a. new one, and that the old one had been torn asunder. Finally harmony was secured by an agreement to take up the re-: vised constitution, section by section, for debate and action at the night session.
