The st. Louis Convention.

ST.. LOUIS, Oct. 4.-When the Pan
American Bimetallic league met this
morning the committee on resolu-
tions was not ready to report, and
the convention proceeded to consider
the general business.
Letters of regret and sympathy
from A. j. Warner of Washington,
d. c., Congressman r. p. Bland,
Governor w. M. Fishback of Arkan-
sas, I. l.. Nugent of Texas, David
Obermeyer OF Kansas and others were
read.
That of Governor Fishback was an
extensive and statistical argument
for bimetallism, and the use of the
water routes to the gulf and thence to
Europe, thus reducing freight expen-
ses and giving the Mississippi valley
the position it deserves in the COM
mercial world.
With the finishing of the reading
of the letters w. N. Allen of Kansas
was introduced. He briefly as far
mer addressed the convention, plead
ing for free coinage, but more espec-
tally denouncing what is known as
the unexception clause in the silver
act, which provides for the naming
of any other money than silver in
contracts if so desired. With this as
his text he argued that the silver dol
lar was even now demonetized, for it
was in the power Of individuals to re-
fuse to accept it, "No International

Congressional Proceedings.

WASHINGTON. Oct. An the senate
today Butler of South Carolina made
the first open suggestion of compro-
mise in an impassioned speech against
the silver repeal bill. In answer to a
question which had been asked over
and over again when vote would be
had on the bill, be said: Compro-
mise A compromise is the solution
of the trouble here"
Butler denied that the minority in
the senate were attempting to coerce
anybody, and added that they them
selves did not intend to be coerced.
He said the minority represented
millions of American citizens and
billions of property, and would not
yield because the majority thought it
time to take vote. Butler went on
to defend the president against the
charge of interfering with the inde-
pendent coordinate department Of
the government.
"When the suggestion of a compro-
mise has been made," he said, sit
was whispered around that the presi-
dent will not accept compromise.
That does that high official great
injustice, because it is none of his
business what the senate does. /
don't believe he has attempted to use
his high Office to influence legislation
in this body
As to what bankers wanted, he said
that the most unsafe advisers for con-
gress on financial questions were the
bankers of New York and Boston. In
the very nature of their calling they
had become selfish and sordid.
At the conclusion of Buffers re-
marks Blackburn (D.) of Kentucky
addressed the senate in opposition to
repeal, and said if he was obliged to
choose between gold and silver basis
for the financial standard of the coun-
Vi nC WOuiO plSlCi " oiiNCi OilC. llC
hoped that some acceptable compro-
mise would be reached very soon.
Blackburn closed his speech by stat
ing that, while he allowed no one to
exceed him in friendship for and 10y
atty to silver, he would not engage in
any unnecessary or obstructive tactics
in opposing the bill. The people de-
manded immediate action, and they
were entitled to know their vote.

Rather an odd accident happened to o
young woman ON Park row on Friday.
She was handsomely dressed, wearing
for a wrap one of The new double decked,
balloon rugged capes of velvet, trimmed
with fur and lined with colored silk.
She was about crossing the street when
two men seized her and began pulling
and patting the precious,cape with their
hands.
The woman was badly scared, turned
as white as a sheet, and simply stood
helpless, gazing at the antics of the men
who were dancing about her, and who
she thought were highwaymen trying to
make off with her new winter wrap
Presently the men tipped their hats and
explained that the garment they had been
treating seemingly so roughly had been
ablaze. Sure enough, there was big.
ugly, black hole eaten out of the velvet
of one of the front folds. Probably the
wearer in passing some smoker had
caught spark from cigar or pipe. She
thanked the gallants who had come to her
rescue and then went on her way, hiding
as best she could the damaged part of the
garment 1t is question whether the
moral of this story is that men should
not smoke in the street or women should
not wear the new tangled cape.-New

Referring to the failure of the Great
Eastern, which at the time was attrib-
uted to her size, in comparison with the
success which now attends boats of
nearly the same dimensions, how plain
now to naval architects, vessel owners
and in fact everybody possessing even a
limited knowledge of the requirements
as to power in large steam vessels is the
main cause Of failure in the Great East
ern. Her power was entirely out of
proportion to her great length and other
dimensions. The dimensions of Atlantic
liners are now approaching to nearly
the size of the Great Eastern. The
length of the Great Eastern was $50 feet
and her horsepower 1850. The new
Cunard liner Campania is e20 feet long,
but her horsepower will be 10000, and
it is said that the boat which the White
Star line proposes to build at Belfast,
Ireland, will be 700 feet long. 1t is the
difference of power to which attention is
called, however. Marine Review.

The exceeding severity of the present
winter throughout the German empire
has caused untold misery among the
working classes. Commerce is almost
stagnant, and several large factories in
Berlin, Hamburg Cologne and Munich
have been compelled either to shut down
completely or to reduce the number of
hands. In Berlin alone there are 80 600
unemployed. The government is per-
picked at the grave aspect Of affairs,
which it cannot remedy by the mere en-
actment of laws and statutes. The
grand duchy of Baden has taken the ini-
tiative by sending its chief labor in
spector, Woerrishoffer, to Mannheim in
order to confer with the unemployed
workingmen in that city.

The proposition that workingmen shall

sensible one. Men have committed sui

Then if we had the initiative and re-
ferendum it does not follow that any
Tom, Dick or Harry could compel the
consideration of any crotchet, or that
the expense and annoyance of an cleo
tion should be borne for every measure
proposed. The principle being adopted.
the rules for its operation would be con-
structed with due regard for the rights
of the majority, and reasonable per.
centage of the voters would be required
to support a measure before it would be
considered. On the other hand, it ia
proposed that only those bills would be
submitted to vote of the whole people
for which per cent. of the voters petit
toned within, say, ninety days from the
date of their publication. 1t is nonsense
to oppose wise and just principle be-
cause, on first thought, it may be con.
sidered a little difficult of application
There are fifty times as many laws or
our statute books now as we have any
use for, and when you are thinking
about expense just try to calculate the
mountains of money they have cost us
and are still costing.

Put Through.

P. H. Kelly has placed to his credit,
in addition 10 his greater laurels, the
passage of the anti-cigarette bill, print
ed in last Sundays GLOBE. 1t has been
changed only in giving the alternative
of fine or Imprisonment. Both cannot
be inflicted together.
Mr.. Peterson offered a resolution to
discharge the clerks of thu committees
on railroads, grain and warehouse and
states prison and ref0rmatory. Mr.. Nc
Grath gave notice of debate.
Several other house bills that had
been amended in unimpOrtant particu-
lars by the senate were taken up, the
amendments concurred in and the roll
called on final passage, with no dissent
ing votes.
On motion of Mr.. Furlong the rules
were suspended and the house passed
S. f. 554, making available the annual
appropriation of $1,000 for the state ag-
ricultural society. The money is au-
thOriZed for use in maintaining the
property and grounds and paying out
standing premiums, as no fair is to be
held the present year.
On motion of Mr.. Holmberg the house
reconsidered the vote by which Ii. +.

Then, on motion of Mr.. McGrath, the
bill was recOmmltted to the committee
on labor legislation, where it will be
amended to meet some objections.
A large number of committee reports
of bills were read, and, with one eXcep-
ton, adopted. The exception was Sem
ator Davis bill, s. f. 1922. abolishing the
Third regiment, NJ. n. e., and the bri-
gade formation. The house committee
OH military affairs reported the bill for
indie finite pOstpOnement, but w. l..
ComstOck Immediately moved to place
the bill on general orders. Messrs.
Baston. Williams, Cotton, Greer and
FurlOng opposed the motion, holding
that the Minnesota national guard is
not at all beyond the size and dignity of
the state. The motion TO place OH gen.
eral orders prevailed, however, by
vote of 40 to so.
The com mittee on legislative ex-
penses, among other things. reported TO
indie finitely postpone the appropriation
OF per diem of Il cents for neWspa-
pers, and the same in regard to the ap-
pointment of George K. Moore as as

reconsidered the vote by which it nom
cOncurred in the senate amendments to

bill. The amendments were cOncurred
in, and Mr.. Langum proposed an amend
ment that the name of w. 3. Spalding
be added to the commission. This was
adopted, and the bill was repaSsed as
amended, but before this was done some
pleasant amenities were exchanged by
MIR. Langum and Capt. Van SAINT. LII
making the motion Mr.. Langum said:
81 would give as a reason for my action
at this time that it has become evident
to me that the senate would rather see
the Chickamauga monument bill perish
than to recede from its stubborn
and unreasonable position, and
while | do not love Maj. Hotch-
kiss any more than | did three
weeks ago, and do not admit that my
position has at any time been a wrong
one, yet | feel that the time has come
to lay aside personal likes and Gisllkes
and save, if possible, this worthy bill,
for the success of which the entire Sec
'ond regiment, Second battery, and
nearly every soldier in the state are
praying. Before | resume my seat,
allow me to thank my fellow.members
most heartily for their loyalty and good
will towards me in this matter; and
while | feel assured that you would
stand by me to the end, | trust that L
AN too good a friend of the soldier to
permit personal considerations and
what | consider even the personal I'M
fitness of Maj. HotchkisS to stand be-
tween them and their cherished OBJ
ject."
Seconding the motion, Capt. Van SAINT
said he was pleased to hear the words.
spoken by his friend Mr.. Langum. $50
is every old soldier in the state of Min
nesOta," said he, "but more especially
the few survivors of the gallant Second
Minnesota and Second battery, whose
brave deeds we propose to honor. Could
the heroic dead who fell there In the
cause of liberty speak, they, too, would
rejoice with us. By this act Mr.. Ian
gum has shown that he is patriotic
man. 1t is magnauimOuS act, and re-
fleets great credit upon the gentleman.
This house has stood by him in this
matter, and would do so to the end but,
rather than to see this just measure de-
feated, be sinks all personal feeling,
and by so doing disarmS his enemies for
all time to come. 1t is great victory.
and could be won only by broad-gauge
and patriotic man."
p. Ii. Kelly also commended Mr..
Langum's move. and expressed delight
at the turn affairs had taken in such an
important matter.
