MAYOR CUSHING'S WORDS OF WELCCM® Reaponse of an Eloguent Delegs Chats With the Visitors -The fle- cepion of Delegates—Work and Pleasure, Tho opening session of tho tenth annual convention of the Nntiona) Association of Statfonary Engineers was hold yesterday in Washington hall, and thore wars 125 dole- @ntes present, representing nearly all the states and almost every city of any nete in the union. J. J. Iilingworth, of Utica, N. Y., the vonerable president occupied tho chair,and all of the other grand ofticers from Secretary Car- loy to Doorkeeper Smith were present. The lndies held a short session to briefly map and discuss the plans for tho day’s campaign, and then took possession of the seats set apart for visitors ou the con- vention floor. Without exception, the delegates who had attended any of the previovs conveutions of the association congratulated tho local cow- mittes on securing quarters so well suited to the occasion. It was charactorized ns the best hall in every way that the convention had ever occupied. Kemoved from the noise of the business streots, yet conveniently lo cated, and not 8o large that tho echoes di turbed the deliberations, it pleased tho dole- - gations immensely. “T'he spacious, well lighted, well vontilated hall presentod a pleasing appesrance at tho opening hour, Pendant trom the lower edge of the gallery wus & noatly srranged sirip of -printed bunting, and ubove Wore artisti- al y draped ropes of vraided red, white and blue. Flngs wero floating from chan- dolier, and on tho floor wero placed 100 tables, around which wero seatod tho dele- gatos. The stago, however, was the center of at- traction. In the central foregronnd was o handsomely finished,ni~kel viated Rice auto- matic engine, the property of Omaha associ tion No. 1. Directly behind it was placed the desk of the prosident, and at the right the tavles of the sccretary and reading clerk of the convention. Overhead were draved two largo American flags, drawn back to either side fn graceful folds. Shesves of rye, onts and wheat, overtopped by towerin £ stalks of corn completed the decoration. I was the work of Messrs, Austin, Bailey, Stark, Collins, and of the local committee. Formally Welcomed. It was 10 o'clock when the convention was finully called to order by Mr. James Bailey, of Omaha. He srated that Mayor Cushing had been unexpectedly called out of tho city, and the address of welcome prepared by bim ‘would therefore be delivered by Councilman 12d. Morearty, who spoke in substance as Tollows : As chiet executive of thecity of Omahu also on behalf of the local association of sti- tonary ongineors, I bid you_welcome. and tako pleasure in te )2 L0 you the lospi- tality of ourcity.

[Appl el At the couclusion of Mr. Fehrenbatch’s re- ply, the president appointed the following committee on creaen R. J. Smith, Cali- fornia; Jas. Duncan, Massachusetts; W. W. Nugent, Wisconsin: Fred A, Dillie, Georgia; David McGarry, Penusylvania. The com- mittee received the credentials of tho dole- gates, and when they retired, President Ilmgworth read his annual address. Mr. Joe Bailey announced the election of Mayor Cushing as an_honorary member of Omaha No. 1, and presonted the hand-painted certificate, heretofore referred to, to the mayor's ropresentative, Mr. Morearty, who necepted it for the oxecutive with ap- propriate remurks. i The reading of the minutes of tho last meeting was dispensed with, and the con- vention then adjourned until'2 o'clock to ac- copt the invitation of Presidont Bartou to inspect the plant of the smelting works com- pany. Tho visitors saw much_at the smeiter to interest them, ‘Ihey arrived too late to see tho silver drawn off, but witnesscd the cn- tiro operation at the blust furuaces and roasters. They exumined the entiro plant, from tho blue shop to the cupolas, and spent an hour and « half inside the largest smelt- ing and refinng plant in the world.

The afternoou session was & stem-winder in its way, chiefly because a protost was cutered agaiust the seating of Mr. Pratt of Cincinnati. Tho report of the committee on crodentials engendored a lively fight. Tho struggle with parhiamentary rules was some- thing surprising to bebold, and the president was tickled half to death when he found himself alive after tho adjournment of the session. He was couched during the wneloe by Hou. John Fehrenhateh, who has been o member of tho logislutures of three states. Mr. Pratt, too, came oui with hair on his head, for although ho wus a long while being born into the convention, ho finally emerged there on both feet, clothed in ull tue rights of a delegate. At tho opeiing of tho session the com mitteo on gredentials reported, its finding being that tp_to date njety-four delegates and two alterffates were dhtitled to seats in the convention. Tho only auestion that arose before the ommittee was with referenco to Judson Pratt, who appeared s the accredited delegate of association No. 15 of Cincinnati, when in fact he was & member of No. 5 of Cleveland, The delegato was summoned to appear pefore the committee, “L'ho treasurer submitted his annual report A lengthy debate followed the report of the committee, to whom was referred a year ago the question of changing the nature of the association from national to international, so as to include Canads. The committeo ro- ported in favor of it, but after av hour's ato the matter was laia on the table. The secretary reported that the change would incur an expenso of §,175 for the 200 or more subordinate associations in the way of re- cords ana seals, and that was the clhincher that settied the question The introduction of resolutions was next declared iu order, and among them were the following Baluwmore No, 1 favored granting tho sus pended members of that association a charter w organia assoclation No. i refurred to tho committea on nppeals bod griovances (Golden Giate No. 3 of California wanted the country divided into districts; favored an international association and wauted no money paid direct to any organizer; referred to the committeo on constituti Missouri No. 4 favored taxing members §1 por year for the bonefit of the natioual usso ciatlon; referred to the committeo on cousti- tution, The resolution that is presented without fail every yoar—to striko out from the con stitution the clause providing that the asso- ciation shall not ve used for religious or po- litical purposes—was haudod up; referred to the committee on constitution. A meeting of the Lifo] and Accident assoc- ation was announced for 7 o'clock in the eveniug, and every delegate requested to be present. The committee on ocredentidls reported against allowing Delegato Pratt of Obio No. 15 & seat in the conveotion, as he had ad- mitted that he had never takoa a withdrawal card from No. 5. Mr. Pratt then addressed the couvention, stating that he bad not aftili- atod with No. 3 for six years, and had been elected to No. 15 as an_active life member, and came to the convention as such. He de- olared the committes attempted to unseat him on a technicality when sent hers in good faith vy his association. He intimated that corporation schemo 1o zet possession of tho national association was bebind the move 10 unseat him, Chairman Smith of the crodential com- mittes raised the point of ordor that the con- vention was not on corporativo business. The point was not sustained and Mr. Pratt was allowed to have his say. Mr, Topmilior of the committee declared that Mr. Pratt had informed tbe committee that ho was meroly a_proxy, and the proxy question was knocked out ¥ears ago, There were a dozen bursts of eloquence, and finally the previous question as to whether or not the main question should be put was moved and carried on a call of yeas and nays by o vote of 7l to 37, soveral mem- bers refusing to vote, Inasmuch as the com- mittee report made no recommendation it was voted to rec mit Amendments, substitutes and motions to recon- sidor followed in rapid succession. Tho committeo finally repor the case back without recommendation, and a motion toseat Mr. Pratt followed. A call of aves and nays rosulted in seating Mr. Pratt by o vote of 65 to 43, The seated dolegate ex- pressed his thanks to tho conveation. Mr. Bailoy submitted a rosolution that nencoforth delegates bo allowsd to hold a membership in but one association. It was referved to the committee on constitution, d tho convention adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning. Simply Notes. James H. Harris, nationat_secretary of the Marine Enginoers' association, telegraphed last ovening from Chicago that he would be bore this moruing. The report of tho soceatary today will show that last year the association had 5,161 me bers and this year thera are 7,64, exclusive of Canada, net gain of 2,50 Last evening several of tho visiting en- ginoors accepted an invitation to visit the local electric light plant, which thoy viewed with the cye of a trained mechanic. P. R McDonnoll, a Pullman conductor on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, had a layover in Omaba yestorday and put in his timo renewing acquutntances with the vari- ous delegates to tho convention. The delegates and their wives are re- quested to assemble on tho court house crounds at 12 o'clock today immediately after the adjournment of tho morning se: sion, and a photographer will train his cameraon the entire body. The programme for today includos a ses- sion of the convention in the torenoon, during which time e ladies will take in Lininger's art galery, In the afternoon the entire party will visit the plant of the American Watcr Works company at Florence. A special train will leave the Webster stroet depot at 2 o'clocl sharp, returning, leave Fiorence at i o'clock. In the evening the delegatos and their ladies will be banquetted at Washing- ton hall.

About seveuty-five of the engineers at- tended the meoting at Washington hall Jast avening, whero they wero enlightened as to tho worlkings of the insurance branch of tho Lifo and Accident association as pertaining to them. The matter was_elucidated by Mr. Harry Knowlton, secratary and treasurer of the association, and Messys. John Trix and John Beckerloz of Chicago. Tho meeting was a lengthy one, and the deiegates wero mada the posscssors of much valuable in- formation that they will impart to their respective associations wheu thoy ret.rn lomo. ‘ho lndies had a very enjoyable trip to Lake Manawa in the afternoon. There wers twenty-seven of them in the party, and they boarded & Council Bluffs motor at tho Mu ray v 2 o'clock. The teip was without acci- dent or especial incident. A half dozen of tho young, ladics, chaperoned by Mrs. Hlengworth, took one of the mers and crossed tho lake, and sipated to the extent of several glasses of red lemonade with natural straws. The visitors were much pleased with the trip, from which they roturned about ¢ o'clock. Iu the evening they attended the theater.
