THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,

No Quorum at the Meeting Yesterday
Afternoon.
The meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce, called in the old quarters-Pitts-
burgh block-for 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon, was SHINY attended. There was no
quorum present. and only an informal dis
cussion of matters connected with the
association. The committee appointed to
select new and moro commodious room
stated that they had found a suitable place
in the Power building. The room in the
Horsky building, at first proposed, was
found suitable in every way except as to
access. There being no elevator. the COM
mittee preferred the Power block, which is
we'll supplied with all modern conven-
fences. 1t was subject of regret that
there were not enough members present to
transact business, as there were several
important matters needing attention. The
meeting finally adjourned without accom-
plishing anything.

him not to vote for Reed for speaker;

That being the case, it is not at all

there are more republicans in the coun-

sudden changes from bulky to concern
