 Wolcott of Brooklyn. The convention opened at 10:45 in Haverly's Minstrel hall, one hundred and fifty delegates in attend ance. General Stiles, on behalf of the Iro- quois club, welcomed the delegates and Pres ldent Hills replied, first paying tribute to the hospitality of the Iroquois club and their allegiance to the principles of free trade. He dwelt on the firmness with which the tariff reformers maintained their position and then proceeded with his formal address to the convention
 Hon. Sterling Morton, of Nebraska, was unanimously elected chairman of the conven- ton. On taking the chair MT. Morton made an eloquent speech and said that they met under suspicious circumstances in city which has been built in a half century by virtue of that wisdom which made it impos- sible to levy tariff between the States MT. R. Bowker, honorary secretary of the national association, then read 8 long report and address on the political relations of tariff reform in which he denied that the free trade league had been aided by British money. Hon. J. Q. Smith, of Ohio, read paper on ''The tariff as it af- fects farming" in which he claimed that the influence of the farmers in the making of the laws on the wane and that they owned only quarter of the wealth %I4 ago they owned the half of it.
 At the afternoon session letters of regret were read from Speaker Carlisle and many other tariff reformers. Secretary Bowker proposed number of points for five minute discussions. David A. Wells said certain interests were organizing aud raising money to secure an increase of the tariff. Mir. Han cock, of Pennsylvania, wanted to declare financial evil and say something that would secure the attention of the masses. Delegate O'Rourke, of Indiana, de- clared that Etarif for revenue'' was the key note. Congressman Dorgan, of South Caro- can understand in favor of gradual but persistent tariff reduction on 8 revenue basis with free trade as the end in view. A member from Ohio suggested tho propriety of bringing about free trade as John Sherman manipu- lated specle-Dy sett1ng date anead ana ulS- counting the revaluation in advance. Mir. Stout, of Michigan, wanted free copper, iron ore, salt and lumber. Michigan had enough copper to brazen the face of every protectionist in the land. Every delegate seemed anxious for chance to get his whack at the vicious tariff. Judge Oli- yer, of Ohio, called attention to the fact that three weeks would be needed to exhaust the subject and the chairman informed the con- vention that the minstrel men were waiting to use their theater.
 The meeting will resume at 10o'clock to- morrOW

They Had Studied Human Nature.

lfrom the Detroit Free Press.
 Some weeks ago widow moved into De- troit from 8 town in the western part of the State. She brought with her a bulldog, which showed game in every movement, and it was not long before every butcher and sport in the neighborhood wanted to buy that dog The widow wouldn't sell at any price. The next thing to buying the dog was to get up a fight between him and an other canine of bloodthirsty appearance, but the widow wouldn't hear to this.
 ''I want you to understand she indig- nantly replied, 'Ethat am respectable wo- man and give no encouragement to such things"
 Still there were or two men who did not despair. They began to conspire, and as a result they led fighting dog into barn near the widows house the other day, and one of them paid a call at the house an6k said
 ''In course we know how you feels about this dog-fghting. We feels the same, but there's woman across the alley who owns dog which she hrags on."
 ''She can't be no lady," was the retort.
 Exactly, ma'am. or she wouldn't speak of you as she does."
 Speak of mel Why, I don't know herr"
 ''In course you don't, and I should hate to tell you what she says of you"
 sEBut you must! If she's talking about me want to know what she saysl'
 s'But, ma'am, you'll excuse me, you know"
 ''No, I won't! What does she saya''
 t'Well, then, begging your pardon, she makes fun of your red hair"
 EtShe does?'
 ''And she ridicules your dress"
 'tThe vixen!'
 'sAnd she says she never saw such feet on a woman."
 'sI11 sue her for slander I'll see lawyer at once'' exclaimed the woman. ''We've got her dog in the barn, ma'am. It's dog she hrags on. She was a-saying yesterday that if her dog eonld only get at is'But he can! You go into the back yard aad unite Bravo and take him over there! If he can't whip any such woman's dog I'll disown himl"
 Exactly, maam, and you can trust me to see fair play. The arrogant head of sich a slanderful, boasterous woman should be hum bled, you know, and it's you who'll do it."
 The dog was taken to the barn, and he did not disappoint his packers. After fight of fifteen minutes he was declared victor, and as the referee gave his decision the widows voice was heard, saying:
 Good! That pays her for abusing my hair I'll fix her on the big feet before the week is out!"
 She had been watching the fight through the cracks of the barn.

FREDERICK HI. WINSTON,
Of Chicago, Just Nominated as Minis
 ter to Persia.


 ter to Persia.
 President Cleveland has selected Frederick H. Winston to represent the United States government in Persia. He will reside in Te- heran, the capital, city of one hundred thousand inhabitants. The court of Persia is one of great magnifcence, the sovereign having the whole revenue of the country at his disposal Nassr-ed-Din, the present Shah, is worth twenty million dollars in money and property. It is remembered that when he visited Europe few years ago his diamonds were the envy of the ladies.
 Living in Persia as the minister of great nation is more apt to diminish than to in- crease the wealth of the representative. MT. Winstons salary will be five thousand dollars year only. He is man possessed of large property and can afford to represent this country at loss to his pocket, but with much of gain in experience and observation During the last three years he has travelled in Europe. He is member of the lroquois club Our portrait presents indications of the splendid physique with which nature has gifted him. His healthful frame is tall and large, his face is bronzed and weather-beat- en, his voice strong and his step vigorous:
 The geographical position of Persia gives it importance at this time, when the United Kingdom and Russia are striving, as yet by peaceful means, for supremacy in central Asia. Wise administration in Persia would profit by the situation, it relates to that country. Both England and the govern ment of the Czar are interested to promote industrial improvement in the interesting country governed by the Shah. Better days in Persia ought to mean considerable busi ness between it and the United States. We can only add the hope that MT. Winston s residence in Teheran will be advantageous to both the nation he represents and that to which he is now sent.

To-day 8 mother-of- pearl casket containing number of stolen diamonds was found on Kelbroke. He said that he sold one diamond to a man in New York for S15 and another one he lost. He claims that he picked the basket up in the street, but the officers think they have evidence enough to show that he was one of the thieves. Johnson said he had no hand in the robbery and that he met Kelbroke here and was assisting him in disposing of the diamonds. While the officers were escort ing the pair to the station Kelbroke was mo- ticed trying to get his hand into his hip pocket. At the station @ large loaded revclv- CT was found in the pocket.

ROumelfa Must Pay Her Tribute
 to Turkey-British Troops on Eur
 mese Soil.
 LONDON, Nov 11.-Thers is very little change in the eastern situation. The decis- ion of the conference of ambassadors at Con stantinople having been submitted to the re- spective governments is now under advise ment and the acceptance OF rejection of the basis of agreement contained in it will be a matter unsettled for some days yet It is probable that whatever may be the result in this respect the powers will before announc- ing it insist upon the disbandment of the mobilized forces of the smaller Balkan States, including Servia; possibly also of Bulgaria. It is certain that the tribute due to Turkey on account of Roumelia, according to thelpro- visions of the Berlin treaty, will be guaranteed to the Porte in the course of present con- alterations by the powers.
 It is learned at the foreign office that the following troops are now on Burmese soil and proceeding by various means of traps- portation to an attack upon the capital: A British infantry battalion of twelve hundred men strengthened by an elephant corps and seven pounder cannon; native infantry battalion; one Liverpool battalion; one royal Welsh fusilier battalion; battalion of the Eleventh Bengal; one of the First Royal ar tillery brigade; one Bombay and one Bengal mountain battery. Each infantry battalion contains about nine hundred men.

Arguments In The Telephone Case.


 WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-In the telephone hearing to-day an affidavit was submitted, signed by Elisha Gray, in which he states that he filed caveat in the patent office on the same day that Bell filed his application for patent; that subsequently, Bell amended his application, which differed materially from the original and in fact covered sub stantially the points set forth by Gray in his caveat; that he believes that in some mysts- rious way Bell gained access to his caveat and then amended his application so as to make it conform to it. Gray states that all pre- vious admissions by him in regard to Bell being the inventor of the telephone were made when he was not acquainted with the facts and circumstances that have since come to his knowledge; that the suit known as the Dowd case, in which he (Grayl was supposed to be party, was but combina- ton case and he was not, in fact, present, that Bell had arranged the whole matter. Mr. Storrow of Boston, who represented Bell occupied the afternoon in reading ah- davits of record in cases where the validity of the Bell telephone had been established. Among others he presented one of Ellis Spear formerly commissioner of patents. MT. Storrow will continue this line of defense tomorrow.

Caswell, a highly respected and prominent citizen residing at the "Point" district, had mysteriously disap- peared. The parents are in deep distress. It was 6rst thought that she might possibly have been drowned, but this theory is upset by developments which tend to prove that the girl has eloped. It was ascertained that the young lady received letters under an as stunned name from the postoffce and it is be- lieved these were written by Boston drum mer who was in the habit of coming to New port It is learned that Miss Caswell has taken very little clothing with her.
