a typical Minnesota day smiled down
upon the labors and pleasures of the
visiting editors yesterday. 1t was small
wonder in view of that bright sky and
the clear whoiesomeness of the sunny
radiance of the day, that by common
consent the business Of the afternoon
was laid aside and everybody took in
the excursion to Fort Smelling and Min
nehaha. But the delegates got such a
feast Of newspaper wisdom IN the morn
ing session that they felt they could af-
ford TO throw in one afternoon of real
enjoyment, such as only Minnesota
could afford. In a business way, the
convention listened to papers and dis
cusSions on the conduct of the metro
p0litan daily, the interior daily and the
country weekly. The feature OF this
was the address by James w.
Scott. of the Chicago Herald, who
so filed the conventions heads
with ideas that it will take
weeks to fully digest them. The after
noon was spent in pleasant sight seeing,
and the evening. after viewing the
splendid spectacle presented by the fire
paper discussion. To-day the regular
programme will he pushed through and
trip taken 10 White Bear lake. To-
morrow the exciting election of officers
will be followed by the choice of place
for the next meeting. This will wind up
the business, and the visit Will end
brilliantly with trip 10 MinnetOnka
and a swell dinner at the Lafayette.
1t was very properly decided 10 visit
Minneapolis, and on Saturday all those
delegates who do not take in the Yel-
IOwStOne excursion will accept the hos
pitality of the Flour City.
Morning Session.
It was again quite late when the
morning session opened. The editors
enjoyed the previous evening until they
were tired out, and $3.50 breakfasts were
the general order yesterday morning.
There was also a marked absence Of
ladies, but trip through the city eX-
planned this. The ladies were every
where. On every train and grip car
were seen the electric blue badges, as
their WearerS took advantage of Col.
LOwry's offer. While their liege lords
Teveled in newspaper talk in the opera
house, the real managers took in the
city and enjoyed the superb morning.
President Stephens opened the morn
Ing services with the announcement
that an editorial delegation from Can
ada was present and upon the stage. He
thereupon introduced Andrew Patullo,
of Woodstock, Ontario, president of the
Canadian Press association, who made
delightful address. professional
friendship" he said, twas stronger
than tariff walls" which expression was
greeted with general applause. Il am
not ignorant of your views" he
said, ''having followed closely your pre-
viOuS meeting. and was aware of your
objects. l have been struck with their
similarity to our own. do not repre-
sent so large body as yours, though
it is thirty years Old. and at
no time has it been more act
i've, vigorous and useful than at
the present time. When return
laden with the fruits of your labors, [
know my report will be of the
greatest benefit TO my Can
adian cOnfreres, and nothing would
give US greater pleasure than to return
TO you the cOurteSieS extended to me-"
He then gave formal invitation to the
association TO attend the next annual
convention Of the Canadian editors in
February of next year. The relations,
commercial and political, between Can
ada and the United States were pleas
antly discussed, and President Patullo
expressed two very decided views:
FirSt-That political union would
never occur during the lifetime of any
within the sound of his voice.
SecOnd-That Canada was the mis-
tress of her own destiny, and nothing,
by either the mother country or Amer
lea, could affect her future course.
ReSuming pleasant personal strain,
the speaker gracefully rounded out his
address. James W. Scott, of the chi
cagO Herald. followed him. His address
will be found complete elsewhere. 1t
was listened to with great interest, and
a rising vote of thanks was rendered
Mr.. Scott. 1.-The Interior Daily" was
the subject of very carefully prepared
and exhaustive paper by Adolph S.
0chS. of the Chattanooga Times. who
also received a rising vote of thanks.
The special committee to which the
presidents address had been referred
reported the following recommends
tiOns: That the matter of a national
headquarters be referred to special
committee OF FIVE, to report as soon as
possible; that the committee on legiS-
latiOn appoint subcommittee of three
members, to sit during the interim be-
tween this and the next annual cOnYen-
ton. These were agreed to.
Some of the members wished to hold
an afternoon session, but when the de-
lights of the proposed excursion were
graphically pictured by II. P. Hall, a
motion To adjourn to p. NJ. was carried.
Before adjOurning. the Minneapolis
question came up again, the committee
desiring to know how many delegates
could be relied upon. The difficulty of
answering the question was obvious, as
no one could tell who were booked for
the Yellowstone excursion. a motion
to decline the invitation. on account of
the lateness of the time, was knocked
down, with considerable applause.
President Stephens explained all the
circumstances, and it was finally de-
cided to have each delegation chairman
report the number to the secretary, VITO
could report to Minneapolis.
