TRUSTS AND POOLS.

Mr. Bacon, of New York, asked unanimous
consent for the present consideration OF the
resolution reported from the committee on
manufactures, directing that committee to
inquire into the names, number and extent of
corporations engaged in manufacturing or min
ing, or dealing in any of the necessities of life,
ana known as trusts or pools, their methods of
doing business and the effect of their combina-
tlon upon the prices of necesSaries of life.
In the discussion which followed, it was Sug-
geSted (but not by formal amendmenO that it
might be well to include the whisky trust the
standard Oil company and coal producing

the scope of the inquiry, moved to strike ont

lie motion was agreed to.
On motion of Mr. Randall, several amend
mentS tending to broaden the scope of the in
curry were agreed to.
The resolution, with the accompanying pre-
amble, was then adopted, as follows:
Whereas, 1t is alleged that certain individuals
and corporations in the United States en- gagged i'll
manufacturing producing, mining or dealing i'll the
necessaries of life and otler proiuclops have COM
bh Tor the purpose of controlling curtaillng

increasing their price to the eople of the country,
winch combinations are known as associations,
trusts, pools, aud like names; and
Whereas, such combinations not only iuiuriously
auect commerce between the states, but impair the
revenues of the United states as derived from its
duties on imports therefore,

again. Quarrelng, wrangling and shouting
continued until about two O'clock. at which
time the convention was no nearer organiza-
tion than when it assembled. The police, who
had been passive spectators of the disorderly
proceedings, then took possession and cleared
the hall. Half an hour later all persons who
could show credentials as delegates were re-
admitted, one by one. and the convention re-
belonged to what is known as the Chase fac
ton, finally succeeded in getting partial con-
troll OF the convention and elected Judge s. A.
Shellabarger and Fred \. Dyson as delegates,
with W. Calvin Chase and NJ. NJ Holland as
alternates. Their chairman, thorcupon. de-
clared the convention adjourned. The Carson
faction then took possession of the hall and
elected as delegates Perry Carson and Andy
Gleason, with Daniel Cahil and Marccllus

an end about 3 ocloclS this afternoon

MIR. GAMBLERS VIEWS,

WASHINGTON, january 2S.--[Specal. Mr.
Candler's views on the Blair bill have been
considerably twisted by some of the Georgia
papers. He is opposed to the Blair bill be-
cause OF the conditions attached to it, which
practically gives the federal government super
vision and control of the state schools. This,
he thinks centralizing tendency, unwar-
ranted by the constitution; but he is not on.

treasury among the states for educational pur-
poses, II the distribution is made without re-
strictions or conditions, He will oppose any bill
that, directly or indirectly, gives the federal
government even partial control ofour schools.
Under such bill, he thinks, mixed schools
might be forced upon us. and all the white
children Ill the black belt driven from partici-
patton IN the common school fund or forced 80
submit to social equality. \ majority of Mr.
Gamblers committee viii support him on this
line. Bills have already been introduced and
referred to the committee providing aid for
common schools free from federal supervision
or control by Mr.. Grain, of Texas, and Mr.
En!oe, OF Tennessee, and if any bill passes tho
house 1t will be one of this character.
The lottery matter was argued i'll the judi
ciary committee this morning. Mir. Brown,
the author OF the bill to prohibit newspapers
containing such advertisements to pass through
the mails, argued in its favor. Mr.. JET
Gambler argued against the bill His argument
was that congress had no right to destroy what
state had created, and that the constitution
expressly prohibited the censorship OF the
press. lie maintained that, il they had the
right to prevent the circulation of newspaper.
they had the right to suppress it in the forms"
The right to publish carried with it the right

Objectionable matter in it, congress might
cause the examination of the manuscript i'll

pupiication. Ills argument was pronounced
by members of the committee, the abieSt one
yet heard, and will, in all probability decide
their report.

pOoi issues on the different questions before
them in order to report bill that the house
could agree on. He says they arc getting
along nicely, but it is impossible TO say at
what time they will report. Upon being
asked what would be done with the internal
revenue laws, he said they would be mate
