Coxvextion Hata, Sr. Lovis, Mo., Feb. 23.— A fecling of unrest was apparent among the delegates to the agricultural and industrial con- ference as they slowly filed into the exposition building this morning to open the second session and to “make a stagger” at getting down to the real business for which they had gathered here from nearly every state and ritory of the Union. This feeling had its ori in the developments of last night regarding the efforts that were being put forth by the supporters of Senator Leland Stanford to in- duce at least a few of each organization repre- sented to range themselves ander his banner as & people's party candidate for the presidency. ‘This scheme was discovered just in time to prevent the efforts from becoming formidable. On the top of thie, however, came the report that the southern delegates, who in the con- vention yesterday were the most enthusiastic whenever a reference was made to independent political action, had, under the influences of Congressmen ‘Livingstone and Moses of Georgia, decided to take a back track. It is known that both the representatives in question are opposed to the third party scheme, taking the ground that the democratic party is the only hope of the south, and that if agricul- tural and industrial organizations withdrew from the democratic party and went into a new one they could not hope to win, and the result would only be to weaken the democratic Barty and make the republican negro the inating power in both. ‘Livingstone and others associated with the southern element gave a qualified denial to these reports, but nevertheless their circula- tion was sufficient to create a spirit of uneasi- ness among those who have come here with the determination of giving birth to the new party.

The delegates were slow in getting together, and to make matters worse it was announced that, after pretty well an all-night session, the committee on credentials was unable to make its report. ‘This was explained by the fact that a number of delegutes, representing organiza- tions not included in the official call, had been knocking on the dooor for recog- nition. ‘They include the Women’s Alliance, the National Anti-Monopolists, the alliance assemblies of the Industrial Union, the Union Reform Association and the Central Nationalists and a lot of other organizations, the existence of which none of the old delegates had ever ‘of before.

Bosrox, Mass., Feb. 28.—The Hon. Patrick A. Collins when seen in regard to the Chicago Tribune story that he had arranged for » dem- ocratie presidential ticket of Palmer and Rus- sell, said: “All this is mere am not and do not pretend to be & factor in President making. The convention in June will settle it. The party and not the man, or men, is what we are after. What is best to be done is not to be determined before the convention meets, nor perhaps before the last hours of that convention. It is idle now for any man to name a ticket, and I am not an man. n the present uncertainty of the demo- cratic party, with the disturbances prevaili rsonal integrity his mantle and entirely large especially in'New York, wisdom dictates that delegations should go unpledged, foot-loose and free, so that they shall do the best under the circumstances when the last hour comes. ‘Then the wisdom of the party will prevail. No man in our party now knows exactly what i best to be done. All will know, at least at proximately, then, and we all now believe that two democrats ean be elected President and Vice President of the United States if an un- muzzled convention with enough wisdom names them. I have no candidates, but if I am adelegate I think I can find them among the 6,000,000 democrats of the republic.” PREPARING FOR THE CONVENTION.

Interest in the Recent Tragedy at Cannes Shows No Sign of Waning. Caxxes, Feb. 28.—Interost in the Deacon case shows no sign of waning. All information regarding any of tke persons concerned in that tragedy is eagerly seized upon and discussed in all its bearings. Very little, if any, reliance is placed upon the statement that Mr. Deacon was aware of the intrigue between his wife and Abeilie and that he connived at it. It is held by many Americans here that the state- ment of Mrs. Deacon is made in attempt to shield herself from the odium attaching to her since the discovery of her Jiason and the fatal result that followed. Mra. Deacon left for Paris on Sunday night, but the judge has sum- moned her to return to Grasse on Thursday. grantheshteeant EXTENDING RECIPROCITY.

It was as to a condition from the local con- ditions surrounding Senators in this city. That implication would do injustice to others = a8 well as bimeelf. During his service in the Senate he had never had occasion to believe that any Senator gave support to any measure from other motives than s conscientious conviction of the public good.

Tie subcommittee, which Mr. Sayers of Texas is chairman, examined a large number of government off cers with reference to the estimates of expendi tures for branches of the service embraced in this bill. It is generally expected that the sundry civil bill will show larger reductions from the bill of last year than almost any of the other annual appropriation bills.
