lutions 10 Abolish the Festive Counter.
SYRACUSE, Sept. AT the opening of
the convention Of the State Wine,
Liquor and Beer Dealers Association this
morning, the president.appointed half a.
dozen assistant sergeAnts-at arms and
said he proposed to preserve order. A
Committee on Resolutions was named,
and at 10 o'clock the convention ad.
jouFned until p. m. to give the com.
mittee time to prepare report.
The committee, consistinglOf one dele
gate from each local association, got
together in a room in the front of Turn
Hall, and for more than six hours they
discussed the resolutions. At 80 p. m
the delegates began to stamp on the
floor and clamor for business
It was after 6 o'clock when the com
mittee reported. They presented long
preamble and these resolutions:
Resolved, That this association is IN
no sense a political organization, but
that its sole purpose is TO promulgate
the principle of personal liberty and
protect its members against the assaults
of fanatics, hypocrites and blackmail
ers
Resolved. however, That when q
member of either political party rises SC
far above personal consideration and
time serving timidity as TO champion oui
cause in the council chamber Of the city,
state or nation, we deem it to be ouI
duty to recognise such an advocate
whenever and wherever we find him.
The famous anti-free lunch resolution
then came up. It was proposed in the
following form by New York delegate
Whereas, The members Of the Wine
Liquor and Beer Dealers Association
have been for some years Obliged tC
cater to the public for their patronag,
by the serving of bounteous anc
sumptuous lunch, and many Of the mem
beIs being thereby unable toreceive from
their business money enough to pay fol
the same to the great loss aud detrimenr
of the said members; therefore be it
Resolved, That the members of thi
association resort TO the style of forme
years in having exposed or their bar o
lunch counter.onl crackers and cheese
and thereby do away with the expense o
which is said to have been unnecessar.
and detrimental to the trade, and there
} by placing the members on equal term
with each other, irrespective Of the siz
or place Of his business.

WHAT'L THE HARVEST Be
Senators Holding Off Action
on the Repeater.
SILVER SENATORS ARE HAPPY NOW

They Think That because the Antl-Silver-
ties Are Not Pushing Action ON the
Wilson Bill That They Are Afraid.
House Committee on Ways and Means
Very Busy.
WASHINGTON, Sept. IA great deal
of uncertainty is manifested among the
members of both houses as to when the
end of the silver fight will be reached
In the Senate the last of the debate
is not in sight and the very hesitancy
of the leaders to force matters gives
renewed hope to the silver men that
promise will be effected.
1t is believed that Senators Morgan,
Teller and Stewart will continue to
take the rest of this week for no other
purposes than to prevent the adoption
of any heroic means to get down to
business.
In the House a waiting policy is in
force. The representatives want to see
the repeal bill passed in the Senate be.
fore they undertake something else.
Members of the House appear to be
more interested in the,report of the Com
mittee on Accounts than anything else
and now that the rules have beer
adopted this report will soon be forth
coming. This committee has charge oi
/ the matter relating to the appointment
| of clerks to committees.
The Ways and Means Committee has q
serious matter to undertake in devising
means to make revenues and expendi
lures balance All factions agree thai
more money is needed. The division
will come upon any proposition to pro
vide that money. There again the silyei
and anti silver forces will be renewed.

and the dinners given by his pretty and

pleasantest features of every season.
But he signed notes for his brother

was financially ruined. He sold his seat

"THOS. A-BECKET" A GREAT SUCCESS

A Brilliant Initial Presentation of
Tennyson's Tragedy Last Night by
Irving's Company to Large Audi
ence.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 7.-Tennyson' s
tragedy "Thomss a-Beclet" was given
its initial production in the United
States at the Grand Opera House last
night to the largest audience Henry
Irving and Ellen Terry have ever ap-
peared before in this country.
The theme Of the play is the struggle
between Beckett and Henry la duel of
two striking personalities which gives a
vivid interest to the historic battle for
supremacy between the Crown and the
Church. Through the tsngle tof con-
flcting interests runs the romance of
Rosamund, like the thread of yellow
silk which marks the secret path
through the woods to her bower
lrving's delineation of Beckett, who
possessed much more Of the soldiers
spirit than the priests. was the per-
fection of art. Except when he has re-
signed himself to martyrdom, Beckett al.
ways contrives to inspire wholesome
awe. of his physical prowess, and
it requires an actor Of all the English
tragedian's ingenuity to satisfactorily
portray the conflicting passions To
Miss Terry's dainty handling of the try
ing part of hosamund De Clifford, who
believes herself to be the wife of Henry
Is due to no small degree the artistic
success of the tragedy.
In the fourth act, where, after having
pleaded with Henry for Beckett, she
pleads with !Becket not to excommuni
cate the King, she displays to the full
ner dramatic capabilities. The play il
handsomely mounted, and careful at
tention is paid to every detail, while the
support is excellent.
