LAST NIGHTS SESSION.
A QuixxinE Bee as 10 Difficulties in the
Dusfness.

The session last night developed into a
'quizzing bee" many members relating diff
Gculties of physical and mechanical nature
which they had encountered. The subject of
mineral formations in the water mains was
declared to be enc OF the most exasperating
troubles with which operators of water
works plants had to deal. Views were
conflicting as to the remedies TO
be applied. Some favored the fore
ing OF mechanical devices through
TIE mains which would clean away
the formations. Others held that's the ef-
fects of cleaning out the formations were
worse than their presence. as the pipes
were thereby weakened. Ii was shown that
the only remedy was 10 substitute pipe that
had the proper kind Of coating. which would
prove impervious TO the chemical action OF
the water upon the iron. Periwinkles and
sDai,s were another source OF annoyance to
many of the wafer men. Il was shown that
about tie cn'y way to rii the mains OF these
pests was to leave a large opening and
ilush them out. The action of cinders upoi
mains was also discussed. Most OF those
who spoke on this subjec. hal found By
experience that cindcrs Iotted and weak

There being no dissent the chair ap-
pointed Senator Jones of Arkansas, Hon.

Senator Daniel to the chair
The greatest demonstration of the day
up to this time occurred when Senator
Daniel came forward. Delegates stood in
their chairs and yelled with might and
main, waving canes, handkerchiefs, and
flags The band aided the enthusiasm by
starting UP a patriotic air and the dele
gates stamped and cheered with vocife-
rousness that threatened to drown the eff
forts of the musicians.
Senator Daniel brought. down the con-
vention on taking the c9airman's gavel
by saying no convention had ever been
presided over with more dignity and abil-
ity and fairness than had been shown by
Mr.. Harrity, and he only hoped that he
might be able to discharge the duties
