eight hour law. its practical workings and
opinions on its practicability from superin-
tendents from state institutions, police COM

Western delegates.

CHIcAGO.-The western delegates have taken
a step which may have an important bearing
upon the result of the convention A repre-
sentation of the trans-MissOuu states, more
especially those interested in the free silver
question, met at the Palmer house for the
purpose of deciding upon some action where
by the west must be recognized a factor
in the presidential struggle.
After a couple of hours' conference it was
decided to arrange a meeting in Which all
the western delegates would take part. The
exact intention of the delegates was not de
clared, but il was freely stated that nothing
was expected for their territory from Cleve-
land, and that its representatives did not in
tend placing him in position where he could
grant or refuse any request made.

Lunches With Harrison.

WASHINGTON, D. C., June a.-ChauneE N.
Depew lunched with the president by invita-
ton, and remained until is p. m. He told
q member of the associated press that he had
had a very pleasant chat with the president,
but that he did not feel at liberty to say any
thing further about what took place. He
added, in response to inquiry, that it WAS
useless to question him in regard to the state
department vacancy for the reason that he
thought 1t would be manifestly improper for
him to say anything on that subject.
It is learned that the vacancy IN the state
department. was referred TO only incidental
ly at tho conference between the president
and Mr.. Depew and that their conversation
related almost solely to the proceedings of
the Minneapolis convention and the manage
ment of the fall campaign.

Canada stands FIrm.

OTTAWA, ONT, June 24.-Little anxiety is
expressed in official circles over the threat
ened policy of President Harrison in regard
to Canada. The members of the Dominion
cabinet are very rsticent and decline to say
what action Canada will take if the policy OF
non-intercourse is adopted by tho United
States. From what can be learned in official
circles there is little likelihood of the Cana
dian government modifying the Nelland
canal tolls in favor of American vessels.
