PHILADELPHIA, September l2.-Another
session OF the peace conference WIS held
today ut the Office OF lion. John Welsh.
Yesterday the impression prevailed that
the interchange Of opinions would come
TO naught, owing to the irrcconcilablc alti.
tude assumed by The Barker faction OF the
Independents. From what is learned to-
day from sone af the gentlemen present,
the impression OF yesterday is the TACT.
To-day there were present besides Mr..
Welsh Messrs. John Wanamaker, Little,
Benson and COCHRAN. The proposed with.
drawal of General Beaver from the Rrpub.
lican ticket was discussed in all it's phases,
AID there was all unanimous and emphatic
depression Of opinion that defeat was pref.
cradle to tishonor, and that it would be
dishonorable for General Beaver, even had
the gentlemen present the power to with.
draw him at this late day. The rejection
Of the Independents terms is final and
conclusive, and matters thus stand today
"It is our opinion" said one OF the gentle.
men present, that there is no general de,
sire even among the Independents to force
Beaver from the ticket, for oi all the gen.
tleinen OF that political stripe to meet u
to-day and give their views not one re.
sponded." 1fs. al. .a #ig-, gr4.
In fact it is learned that there is good
deal OF dissatisfaction with the arrogant
diclatorial tone assumed OF late by Whar
ton Barker and his back room cabinet; rs
his few intilnates are termed here, aud the
other independents resent his arrogaton
Of infallibility. It looks US ii it were the
end OF the conference farce and as il we
