Vened at the Capital Today.
PROVIDENCE DELEGATES THERE.
The Representatives OF boards Of Trade
Throughout tho Country VIII Try 70
Spur the Senate to Take Prompt and
Radical Action.
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The greatest
meeting OF business men Washin gton ha
ever seen assembled here at noon today.
IL is convention Of delegates from all
the boar,ls Of trade Of the country.
President Darwin r. james ofth New
York Board OF Tra'Ie and transportation
called the sound money convention TO
order. 1t Is expected the convention
VIII be in session the greater part
OF the week. None of the delegates could
this morning form any estimate as to the
number OF delegates who will respond TO
the Invitations sent out, but II il likely
there will be from 800 to 1000 representa-
tives OF business interests present when
all trains have arrived today.
The influence OF this great sound
money convention can hardly fail to have
a marked effect upon congressional ac-
tion. The one great object Of the convon.
tion Is to give expression to tho pro-
nounced feeling throughout the country
In favor of the immediate and uncondi-
tional repeal OF the Sherman silver pur>
chase act.
There can be little doubt that . num-
Der Of delegates will remain AWAY from
the convention on account of the general
belief that the passage ofthe Voorhees, bill
through the senate is assured. In fact.
not a few Of the organisations which had
accepted the invitation to send delegates
have since stated that they would not do
40. at the same time expressing the belief
that the repeal of the Sherman law was
practically assured.
The convention is certain to soe pro.
nounced success. and 1t is not improbable
that after the aelegates have taken aetion
regarding the repeal of tho Sherman law
they will organize permanent national
board OF trade, with headquarters in
Washington or New York.
