decided to incorporate in the platform to be
approved at the Newcastle conference an
English tenants rights bill. This decision

chiefs Of the party have ever taken. The

The attorney general, in opening the sea-
sion of the society of arts, appealed to man
ufacturers in their own interests to be fully
represented at the Chicago fair. He re-
ferred to the efforts of the United States to
divert trade from Sonth America and other
