NATIONAL BAR ASSOCIATION

WASHINGTON, May pa convention OF
delegates from many of the state and local
bar associations of the country having for
its object the formation Of a National Bar
association, met here today About sew
enty-five delegates were present at the
opening session. A S. Worthington, ex-
United States district attorney and presi-
dent of the District Bar association, called
explained the objects and pur-
poses for which the convention
was called. He said it was the almost
unanimous opinion of the lawyers of the
country that the profession should have a
national organization as there was press
ing need for such organization. The utter
lack of uniformity in the laws of several
states rendered it absolutely essential that
some concerted action should be taken
looking to a remedy for the evil. He
called special attention to the
difference in the laws of the several
states relating to commercial paper.
In the statute of limitations there was the
widest diversity. In some states claim
may be barred in three years, in others
fifteen years. A will or any other instru-
ment properly executed in one state may
state made be fatally defective in another.
AT present he said there is no organized
body whose particular business it is to
seek for a remedy for these wide and sense
less diversities in the enactment of laws
which in all essential particulars should
be uniform..throughout the union.
Col. J. O. Broadhead, of st. Louis, was
elected chairman of the convention.
On motion of Mr.. Schellenbarger, of the
district association, the chair was author
lied to appoint committee of fifteen to
report the form of constitution for the
National Representative Bar association
of the United States.
Adjourned until tomorrow.

THE YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK
RII 1

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Vests
bill to change the boundaries of Yellow
stone National Park has been amended in
several particulars by the house committee
on public lands, which now has the meas
ure in its possession. 1t passed the senate
some weeks ago, but the house proposes to
modify it in some respects. Among other
things, the bill as it passed the senate re-
moves the eastern boundary of the park
twenty-five miles to the eastward. Mr.
Vests purpose in this was to take into the
park certain mountains ar the headwaters
of Clark's Fork and Rocky Ford, to which
game generally retire in summer time
There are in the foot hills of these
mountains extensive coal beds, to
which railroads have already been sur
veyed and are in process of construction
The house committee holds that to take
these lands into the park would be to in
clude considerable private property, and of
course prevent the construction of rail-
roads to the mines.
Mr.. Toole, of Montana, has therefore Sc
cured the adoption of an amendment Dy
the committee reducing the extension OF
the boundary so as to exclude the coal
mines at the headwaters of Clark's Fork
c. c. Gibson, the president of the Yellow
stone Park association has been in WASH
lngton tor some time trying to get proper
adjustment of his leases from the govern
ment. In several cases the buildings of
the association are not on leased ground
and changes have to be made to carry out
the terms of the agreements. These will
be effected by the house committee.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-In response to a
resolution calling for information ON the
subject, the secretary of the treasury sent
to the house today reports from Supervis-
ing Inspector General Dumont and the
commissioner on navigation on the over
loading of steamers on the great lakes.
General Dumont states that during last
year but ore vessel, the Vernon, was sup
posed to have been lost by overlooking In
asmuoh as but one of the forty-two pas
sengers was saved, and no official report of
the disaster was made it is not surely
known that the loss of the Vernon was
actually due to overlooking. He states
also that there is no statutory law against
overlooking vessels on the lakes, but the
board of navigation has issued q set of
rules, which, if properly enforced. would
prevent trouble in that direction.

LONDON, Dec. 12.-Lord Harrington severed
the last link which bound him to the liberal
party yesterday, and gave notice to the COM
mittee of the national liberal club of his resig-
nation of membership. T. W. Russell has fol-
lowed his example, and it is thought all the re-
naming unionist members will do likewise.
The club opened last year the finest club house
In London, built with money borrowed from
members. The largest part was obtained from
Lord Derby and other wealthy peers now
unionists. Recently the committee of the club
had to suspend the entrance fee, because the
membership was not sufficiently numerous.
The secession of a certain number of members
endangers the existence Of the club. At the
same time
THE IMPROVED POSITION OF THE LIBERAL PARTY

JUDGE COOLEY DEFENDsTHELAw
He Says it is a Success and Should be
Strengthened Instead of Repealed.

CHICAGO. Dec. 12.--Judge Cooley. chairman
OF the interstate commerce commission, was
shown dispatch from Washington regarding
the bin introduced by Representative Morse in
the House of Representatives Monday proyid-
ing for the repeal of the interstate commerce
law. The judge said he did not think there is
the least danger that either the long and short
haul claus. the pooling provisions or any
other portion of the law win be repealed. Ii
Is his opinion. as well as that of all other mem
bers of the commission, that the law is an ex-
cellent one and fully meets the expectations OF
its projectors. The commission not only
favors the retention of every provision of
the law as it stands but desires that il
should be made stronger. The failure to strictly
enforce the law is due to determined opposi-
ton on the part of some railroad interests and
the inability of the commission to procure the
proper evidence to convict parties guilty of its
violation. In resisting the law and refusing to
carry il out. the railroads retard the progress
and prosperity of the country. As regards the
claim which has been made that ID deprecated
the value Of stocks and bonds with no compen-
satinS benefit to the public. Judge Cooley said
it had just the opposite effect. 1t is rapidly
bringing stocks and bonds down to their trne
value. Most of these securities were vet far
above their intrinsic value and not till thew
come down to their proper level could the
country or the people prosper.

CHICAGO, Dec. l2-Chairman Kavener. of the

San Francisco yesterday. He called upon the
representatives of the switchmen's association
and learned for the first time that that organi-
cation had declared the old 20" strike of The
engineers committee was together all day, but
did not take any official action or outline any
plan. Kavener viii make an energetic attempt
to settle the strike.
General Supt. Besler, of the Burlington road,
told the switchmen's committee that none OF
the present employees should be discharged TO
make room for them, and that they conld get
back only as individuals. Referring TO the re-
port that the engineers might inaugurate an
other boycott he said he did not think they
would attempt such thing. The company has
enough engineers and could only treat the old
men-if the strike is declared of-the same -
