BOSTON, May 25-The S2d annual con-
ltion of the United States Brewers Asso-
ton met this morning. The Board of
lstees reported, as to the exhibit at the
orld's Fair, that the association has
ppped as impracticable the project of q
larate building, and have applied to the
rector General for space in any building
which such an exhibit belongs 1t is rec
mended to present as graphically as
ssible
frst-The development Of the American
ewing industry, compared with the trade
other countries; second, the status of
swing by States, together with imports
d exports; third, the extent to which
nerican agriculture is benefited by brew
:; fourth, the development and present
.tus OF mailing; fifth, the industries which
pend more or less on brewing; sixth, the
Dor employed in the brewing and mailing
iustries and in the dependent trades;
zenith, the revenue question:; eighth, the
ewing and the beer traffic in its relation to
Il estate; ninth, the effect of the growing

use of mild fermented drinks; twelfth,

URGE generally.
1t is further proposed to hold an Interna-
)nal Brewers Congress at Chicago in con-
ction with the SD annual convention,
lich might become the starting point of
International League of Brewers The
port also treats of the efforts to have the
tiles on hops. malt and barley reduced.
Ie latter proposition gave rise to a sort of
ctional conflict between the Western and
IStcrn growers and malsters, the former
posing the reduction, while the admitted
ability OF the Eastern malster to compete
th his Western colleague really means
Ieapor malt of the ordinary grades. 1t is
wen-6nown fact that many Eastern brew
regard Canada barley as superior to any
'oduced here and to them the exorbitant
lhancement of the price of the Canadian
oduct appears TO be unwarranted.
The report of the Publication Committee
fers to pamphlet recently published and
TITLED up to Date" which reviews the
sars The report refers to the denounce-
ent contained in a series of sermons by
ev. J. B. Brady, of Newark, n. j., of the
Ioral society participating in the Ma
onal Singing Festival, held there July last
II singing secular songs and drinking
ser on Sunday. The reverend gentleman's
tack is met by quoting a report of the
ewark Chief of Police, which says:
At no other public gathering Of like magnitude
ave witnessed such remarkable absence of dis
derly conduct. There is no period in the annals
our police department that can be compared, in
IS respect with the week Of the Saengerfest.
The report of the Vigilance Committee re-
RS to Senator Dolph's bill, substituting
Ugh license for prohibition in Alaska: to

Otion law; to the efforts of the Iowa Demo
ats to repeal the prohibitory law; to the

,ders as to the sale of beer in the Indian
erritory; to the decision of the Supreme
Ourt of Indiana in favor of the constitu-
Onality of liquor licenses; to certain anom-
Gus conditions prevailing in Minnesota
Jnsequent on the decision of the Supreme
0urt declaring the Duluth liquor regula-
Ons null and void, and to sundry other
alters.
All reports were referred to special COM
tttees, whereupon the convention ad-
'urned until tomorrow morning.
