In FAVOR OF PITTSBURG.

The Committee Appointed to Investigate
Whether This City Could Handle the
Convention Advance Some Good Ideas
The Business Men Offer to Give 500, 600.
The special committee appointed to look
into the facts and see if Pittsburg could
properly handle national convention met
yesterday afternoon in Common Council
chamber. Chairman Robbins explained the
object of the meeting and stated that action
would have to be taken at once.
A letter was read from Architect Alden,
who said he had made an examination of
the Exposition bull ldings as to their seating
capacity with the following result: Ma
chinery hall will seat 1850, and the main
Exposition building will seat Il, ,136, and
the gallery in the main hall will seat 4, 352
7. j. keenan,, Jr., stated this was as much,
if not more than the seating capacity of
the st. Louis Exposition.
Robert Pitcairn said that so far as the
railroads were concerned they could accom-
modate any crowd. Pittsburg has the hall,
but its hotel accommodations were not ade
quate. To the speakers mind there was
not enough enthusiasm displayed in this
city to make the project a success. T. j.
Keenan,, Jr., stated he had been in the East
recently and the people there thought that
outside of New York and Chicago Pittsburg
was the most suitable place for the conven-
tion.
j. NJ. Guffy said it was entirely matter
OF accommodation. There was no question
about the railroads and telegraph facilities.
John F. Dravo said Chicago had no surplus
hotels for special occasions. Hotels are
built to meet the present demands and not
for special occasions. Captain w. 2. Her
bert said he was in favor of Pittsburg all
the time. and he had no doubt of the capac-
ity of Pittsburg and its hotels to accom-
modate the visitors The tronble is
a lack of enthusiasm. 1t was true that pub
lie spirited newspapers had subscribed
1900, but where was the subscriptions of
the manufacturers who were benefited by
the tariff, also from the hotels and business
men. The question was, could Pittsburg be
depended on to come up with the money?
Mr.. Keenan, said that assurances had been
received from business men and manufac-
turers that if the convention could be Sc
cured for this city S100, 900 would be raised.
Mayor Gourley deplored the lack of en-
thusiasm and said that the general commit
tee meeting to be held to-day would test
the matter as to whether the business men
wanted the convention or not.

Rv authority of their charter from the Gov.
ernment they are taking steps to condemn
property on the Jersey City side under the
New jersey laws. He remarked that it was
better to be sure of every move in such
s big undertaking than tc spend millions
as Pirtsburg did on its streets, and then
have the Sunreme Court knock them out.
S,.1iIar proceedings will be taken on the
New York side under the State laws.
With grim humor the Colonel referred to
the method of making laws in Pennsyl-
vauia. He said it was silly and
uonsensicaL Acts are put on the
statute book and the public
lives up to them only to discover after
awhile that they have been disobeying the

talent in the State to sit at Harrisburg

supervise the bills presented Those un-
constitutional should be dropped at
once, and where the meaning is
not clear, or the proposed measure
is full Of contradictions, the proper correc-
lions could be made. He claims such a
plan would save the people many thousands

Government. The bundle of their accumu-

The Colonel continued that some time
ago he attended dinner party in England
He remarked to his neighbor at the table
that something they were talking about
would be enacted into a law by the next
Pennsylvania Legislature, and then he
added that 1t would be enforced The En-
Clishman was dumfounded, and wanted to
know if there were American laws that are
not enforced. To him such statement was
ridiculous and unreasonable.
