An Important Session of the St. Louis Con- vention. Sr. Lovts, Feb. 24.—The most exciting and important session of the great national indus- trial conference was expected to take place to- day. A rough and tumble time of it from start to finish seemed the only possible program. A“biue and the gray” mass meeting, into which the convention Sony — ay ing with the platform, temporari Reeen oil on the troubled waters. Com- modore Van De Voort of Nebraska for the Union Veterans present in the convention pledged President Polk for the old confederate soldiers in attendance that they would join hands to bury sectional hate, and the treaty, if such it might be termed, was rati- fied in speeches by ex-Senator Van Wyck of Nebraska and Ben Terrill of Texas. ‘THR COMMITTEE ON PLATFORM. After perfecting the organization last eve ing of the committee on platform subcommit- tees on finance, land, transportation. address and miscellaneous subjects of the industrial convention were —— and a recess taken until 9:30 to give them time to report. On the reassembling of the full committee the hearing of reports was begun. The finance subcommittee reported favoring the issue of money directly from the United States treas- ‘ury without the intervention of banks. With- out much discussion the full committee agreed to this. No mention was made of the sub- treasury plan. ee Messrs. Beverly and Butterworth of Virginia and South Carolina, respectively, threatened to make “Rome howi” in the convention. The address subcommittee’s report also gave these gentlemen offense, as it omitted mention of the subtreasury plan, though it touched on all the principal points supported by the new party. On tho transportation question there was no dispute, the subcommittee’s repo oring govern- ment ownership of telegraph, telephones and railways being unanimous. The land question subcommittee is much the the Ocala convention. e most trouble was had ‘was the prohibition question. A FREE FIGHT. Fred Swayne, ex-member of the Missouri legislature and a local labor agitator, at- tempted to introduce an eight-hour resolution. A free fight resulted. Swayne was attacked on every side and laid out. Four of the antago- nists were finally taken by the collar, waist and legs and carried into the lobby. AN AMERICAN COUNTESS.

Mrs. Cabell, the vice president presiding, called the meeting to order, and devotional exercises were conducted by Mrs. T. 8 Hamlin, the chaplain general of the society. e main business of the morning was the election of officers and the announcements of the election of state regents by the delegates from the respective states.

BAKRISOX. Upon-motion of one of the members it was decided to proceed to the election of officers, and Mrs. Cabell surrendered the chair to Mrs. Breckinridge while she placed the name of Mrs. Harrison in nomination for president eneral. In a few graceful words Mrs. Pabell paid tribute to the skill and devotion shown by Mra. Harrison during the time that she has been at the head of the society. Of course there was no dissenting voice and the secretary was instructed to cast the vote of the society for Mrs. Harrison. A large amount of time and words were spent in ay effort to find out what regents were entitled to vote before the actual work of elec- tion was reached. The society came very near getting lost in the mazes of debate, mingled with calls for the previous ‘question, but at the end of about a half hour Gen. Shields, the legal adviser of the society, was called upon to straighten matters ont. ‘It was finally decided to extend | the courtesies of the congress to those regents who wore present without organized chapters to their credit.

TO PROTECT FOREIGN EXHIBITORS. Mr. Sherman, from the committee on foreign relations, reported a bill to protect foreign ex- hibitors at the world’s Columbian exposition from prosecution for exhibiting wares pro-| tected by American patents and trade and it was passed after a brief explanation of the necessity for it. ‘The bill provides that no citizen of any other country shall be held liable for the in-| fringement ‘of any United States patent or trade mark or label when the act is, or shall be, performed in connection with the exhibition of any article or thing at the world’s Columbian exposition in Chicago.

Mr. Sherman also reported a resolution requesting the President (if not incompatible with public interests) to inform the Senate of the proceedings recently had with the repre- | sentatives of the dominion of Canada and of the | British government as to arrangements for reciprocal trade with Canada, and it was agreed to. Mr. Manderson, referring to what is known &s “the green goods” business, said that there was no iaw on the statute book to reach that great evil, or rather crime, and he introduced three bills (with letter from the chief of the secret service division of the Treasury Depart- ment) intended to remedy it. ‘These bills were | read by their titles and were referred to the judiciary committee.

He argued that the “pretended election” of Mr. Dubois was not according to the deliberate | judgment of the two houses of the Idaho legisla~ ture. but was the result of a combination be- tween Messrs. Dubois, Shoupand McConnell to | t themselves at ail hazards; that lection of Mr. Dubois had taken piace, if at all, before the regular organization of ihe legislature: and that if Mr. Dubois were al- lowed to retain his weat all the safeguards thrown about the election of Senators in the act of 1906 would be set aside and held ior naught and the state of Idaho would be denied ite right to choose its Senator as provided by wr.
