He fancted tuat tue Baltimore and Potomac could transact its business as a common carrier one more week under existing conditions, Mr. Denver asked what reason there was for Pressing the bill now.

HOW THEY DIFFERED ABOUT RUSSIA AND ROME, Herbert Tuttle in Atlantic Monthly. ‘In regard to the measures of recent years, it 1s, of course, impossible to say how much was the emperor's and how much the chancellor's, His majesty certainly relaxed none of his belief as he grew old that he was truly the fonset origo of everything good in Prussian or German policy; and the more he became Sr agers by years aud infirmity for Girectigg affairs, the more care- ful bis ministers and altendants were to magnity bis part. In tue course of twenty-five years many disfgreements must have arisen between Bis- marck and himself. How many there were, and now they were ail composed, cannot even be con- Jectured; but two lines of policy which the chan. cellor succeeded in adopting are known wo have caused = misgivings to the emperor. In for eign politics the gradual alieuation from Russia Was not at all agreeable to William's views, He was strongly attached, by training and tucilnation, to the Russian alliance, which ae regarded as the Chie support of Prussia’s Juterests in Et dipiomacy; and the exawple of Austria's magnin- cent ingratitude Was One Which he felt it U- Marly Unportant notto follow. Ties of biood con- necting him With the Romanofts, and a certain senument not Wanting to Lis nature, strengthened this conviction. But Bismarck kuew Russia bet- ter than he, and kpew how far Germany could afford to link her policy with that of the isarson the Neva, Tue rupture began, too, at the congress of Berlin, whlle William lay prostrate from Nobiling’s shots, When he recovered the new path had been taken, and for better oF worse It ad to be followed. "The chancelior’s war upon the Church of Rome, and indirectly upon eccle- siastical pretensions of every kind, aroused even ‘stronger apprehensions.

The Universalist church, corner L and 13th streets, 1n which the convention 1s being held, 1s admirably adapted for such a purpose. ‘The seats, ‘which are arranged ina semi-circle, give every: body almost equal prominence, and everyining can be heard to advantage. Tho church decora- tions were very simple. From the organ loft over the platform a double American flag was draped in the form of a half rosette, while flags were draped from the gal- lery in the rear of tue church, A dozen or more chatrs on the platform afforded seats for disuin- guished guests. ‘The church was divided off 1ato Sections for Lhe various state delegations, and the location of each delegation was designated by a ‘card With the name of the state or territory printed uit. ‘The southern section of the church under the gallery Was reserved for the District Bar Asso- elation. Chief Justice Bingham and Judge Jamtes, of the Supreme Court of the District, occupled seats on the platform, e 3 CALLED TO ORDER. Mr. Worthington as president of the District Bar Association called the assembly to order at 2:30 O'clock. He recounted the action of the District Bar Assoctation leading to the call for this convention. They believed the time bad arrived when the lawyers of tne United States ougnt to be organized. They found that that was the almost unanimous opinion of the lawyers of the country. ‘The thing that most demanded to be done, was to bring about a unl. formity of laws. Referring to the diversity of laws and embarrassments arising therefrom, he said the most important matter, or the one most felt, was the differences in the laws relating to commercial paper. The differ- ences in statutes Of ilumitation also caused much annoyance. So the variance in laws relating to wills and conveyances and other matters gave rise to contusion. There was, nobody to attend to these__things nobody whose business It was to look after these tuings, Lawyers made the laws, and the legal Profession was held responsible for thls state of things, ‘They believed the proper way to correct the evils spoken of was to call upon these organi- zations of lawyers throughout the country to form @ central association, In behalf of the District Bar Association Mr. Worthington nomi oated Col, James 0. Broadhead, Of St. Louis, as chairman to preside. THE PROPOSED CONSTITUTION. A proposed constitution for the National Bar Assocation was printed in advance, and came be- fore the convention this afternoon by a motion of Judge Shellabarger to appoint a committee on constituuion.
