When President Springer introduced | the resolutions he alluded to the dis- cussion of the Panama question in the , United States Senate and the criticism of President Roosevelt on account of | i the position he has taken. The call for }a vote was the signal for a roar of, | “ayes” and a burst of deafening ap- | plause. Not a dissenting volce was | raised. A copy of the resolution was i immediately wired the President. To-day the subject of railroads and forest reserves were copsidered in rela- tion to their effect upon the livestock industry. Shortage of cars, slow time in transit and high tariffs formed the ! burden of a number of addresses bear- |ing upon the first mentioned subject.

The executive committee will report the nominations for officers at the morning session. F. J. Hagen- barth of Idaho is the only one talked | | of as a successor to President Springer, and his election is considered certain. The general imvression is that there | will be no change in the list of other | officers, the incumbents to be re- | elected. There is little doubt that Denver will be the next place of meeting. San Jose, Cal., and El Paso, Tex., have | been making a fight for the conven- tion, but it is thought a compromise |is to be made whereby the next con- vention will go to Denver. that of 1905 to El Paso and the succeeding meetings to Denver as permanent headquarters. The bueiness sessions of the seventh | annual convention will come to a close with the selection of the place of meet- ing.
