THE QUESTION OF CREDENTIALS. Mr. F. Taverns said the ExecutiveeCommittee had assumed the prerogative of passing on the credentials. He claimed that they should pass on credentials of thoce already present. Mr. Bouldin, chairman of the committee on credentials arose, but was interrupted by points of order. ir.
