BUTCHERS CONVENTION.
Philadelphia May 23.-Prcsdent Armour called
the convention of the Butchers Protective Association
TO order this morning. Mr. Mooney, of New York,
moved that the convention ndoSs the Butterworth
BILL and ask Congress for its carly Passage, which was
done. The Committee Policy then reported on
the question of lard adulteration. The first section
Of the report recommended that the lard question be
urged before Congress until law is obtained prohibit
ing the sale of adulerated lard. The section was
amended by adding that II such lard IS sold 1t must
be branded and sold as such, and so amended 1t was
adopted The third section recommended the passage
OF national law requiring that all dressed beef sold
at wholesale retail must be inspected alive by
United States inspectors within the State In which It
is sold. The resolution adopted
The local committee of three appointed to prepare
paper against the beef mOnopolies submitted re-
port recommending enforcement OF the local live
stock bill in all cities of the first class In the United
states This law prohibits the sale of cattle for food
which have not been killed subject to the inspection
Of the municipal sanitary Authorities within whose
jurisdiction the meat is to be cut and retaed The
committee style the cattle pool Of Chicago " the
most Infamous tyranny that existed in the United
States They have got their collar on the cattle pro-
ducers of tho entire West, and the only remedy Is TO
inspect live stock and dressed meats In all prominent
localities The report goes on to say We think also
the combination in the country is the pork and
adulteratcd lard packers They have no equal in the
STANDARD OH Trust, the Sugar Trust the copper Trust
or any other trust They have had powerful in
1uence over our business for years. The prices Of
cattle to the producer have gone down 90 per cent and
the price TO the consumer has increased, and every
single dollar OF the difference has gone into the pocket
OF the combination" At this tuncture the report
objected to as injurious to the cause of the Assembly.
However, the secretary was ordered to continue and
the report went in the same severe strain against

THE RICHMOND TERMINAL CONTEST.

QUESTION AS To THE RIGHT TO VOTE on
BORROWED sroCK--THE OPPOSITION APPEAL.
The right to vote on borrowed stock may be deter
mined by the alleged contest the control Of the
Richmond and West Point Terminal Railway. The
published correspondence between III. B. Hollns Co
and A. r. Pick Co. about 1000 shares Of the stock
was explained in some quarters as fresh attempt to
secure the proxies of disntercstcd holders Persons
who were familiar with the affairs of the company
suggested that Pick & Co. had been acting with the
Hons opposition and that the question the 900
shares of borrowed stock was mere speculative dodge
The statement that the general question would be sub
mittcd to the Arbitration Committee not well
founded for prominent officers of the Stock Exchange
declared that the rights could only be established by
the courts. 1t has been Understood as matter Of
equity that the owner and not the holder, OF
stocks held the voting power, but there have been
instances when The real owner has been deposed by
the votes of brokers in whose his stock was reg
istered
The present contest for the control of the Richmond
and West Point Terminal is largely paper The pre-
sent management controls 100000 shares Of the S45
100000 capital and change in the present board is
kcly 10 be made. The vacancies that exist will be
filled with the best available men, but the opposition
VIII not be represented. Mr.. HollIns said Yesterday
that the election was in doubt and that IL the present
management could possibly secure a majority OF the
stock no meeting would be held On the other side 1t
of the present directors The opposition has appealed
to stockholders TO insist that all persons holding prox
les vote as the owners of the stock would WISH The
committee ask that proxies be sent at TO them.
