BRITISH TRADES CONGRESS.
Many Advantageous Changes, Both
Internal and international,
Suggested.

London June 1.-THE third sitting of
the Congress of the Chambers of Com
merce of the British Empire opened at
10 o'clock this morning in the hall of
the Grocers' company under the presi-
dency of Sir Andrew Kaye Rollitt presi-
dent Of the London chamber of COM
merce.
The resolution of the Aberdeen cham
Der of commerce regarding his codifca-
ton of the commercial law of the en-
pire, moved by Prof. Dove Wilson, was

Sir Samuel Montague, Bart, NJ. P,
on behalf of the London chamber of COM

also that uniformity with the laws Of
continental powers should, wherever
practicable. be established International

HAWAII is EXCITED.
Britain's Demands in the Ashford
Case May Lead 20 Grave
Trouble.

San Francisco, Cal, June ,1.-Thc
steamer Australia from Honolulu today
brings confirmation of the Associated
press report concerning the demand made
by Great Britain that Volney Ashford be
permitted to return to Hawaii. The
Dole government is very much excited
over the report, but the President of the
little republic is pursuing a conservative
course in dealing with the matter. There
is likelihood of Hawaii calling upon the
United States to extend it's offices in the
dispute.
Col. Y. " Ashford was convicted by
the military commission of treason The
evidence was that he had advance knowl-
edge of the outbreak. His sentence WAS
Imprisonment for a year and fine of
$1,000. He was then i'll and is still Il
sick man. After few weeks ION the
reef the man who had once been promi-
nent and honored in Hawaii was given
suspension of fine and Imprisonment on
condition that he leave the country never
to return. 1t was then quite generally
understood that after Il reasonable lapse
of time he would be allowed to come
back on making proper request In let
tiers to Hawaii regarding British sub
jects mixed up in the revolution and
tried. the Queens foreign Office gave
the opinion that though the court-mar-
tial was unconstitutional there could be
no objection to any of the cases except
Ashford. 1t was claimed that the evil
dence against him was insufficient. 1t
seems that Col. Ashford has followed
up this point. The understanding is
that the Hawaiian minister of foreign
affairs is preparing an answer to this
question.

HARVARD MEMS RIOT.
Celebration of a Baseball Victory
Over Princeton Leads to
Trouble.

Boston. Mass. June 11.-Three thou
sand Harvard men, encouraged by the
phenomenal event of a Harvard victory,
fought 100 policemen in the streets of
historic old Cambridge last night. 1t
was the biggest riot that the university
has ever seen.
The moment it was known that Har-
ward had won it's baseball game with
Princeton there was roar that shook
every window for a mile around. Then
all was pandemonium. In halt an
hour there was on foot the biggest cele-
bration ever known at Harvard. The
whole city was a blaze of redfre, while
all kinds of fireworks spurted IN every
direction, and the evening was made
hideous with the blasts OF thousand
giant horns A mammoth procession
was formed and marched to Harvard
square The police, experimenting trou-
BILE were out in extra force. The ma
iority of the Harvard men were armed
with revOlvers and took up running
volley. firing into the air.
While cheering for the individual
members of the team was going on, Clay
Stone Briggs, a Harvard student from
Galveston, Tex, was arrested. He had
discharged his revolver in the very face
of a policeman.
AS the policemen were hurrying him off
the mob took in the situation and there
was a mad rush OF 3OOO enraged stu
dents 60 the rescue. A line of Harvard
men jumped on the backs of the police
men, who still chung to their prisoner.
Arthur I. Pilling, a student from Wash
ington, was the first to tackle an officer.
He was promptly knocked down.
Goldwaith Dorr of Orange. n. j., stu
dent, jumped on another policeman. He
was seized and arrested. Many ponce
men and students received wounds.
Three arrests were made.
For an hour 1000 mad students sur
rounded the station clamoring for the
release of their comrades. The chef
of police and prominent citizens ad-
dressed the students and urged them
to dispense The students paid little
attention to the officers and refused to
dispense until the three men who were
arrested had been released on bail: They
then departed, cheering as they left the
police station with the three heroes
mounted on the shoulders of the mob.

vile. 1t was a contest between McKin-
lev men and friends of Gov. Bradley.
The Mckinley delegation, composed of
George D. Todd and Charles 3. Sapp,
appeared as the regular delegates and
the Bradley men, q. j. Knoebel and j.
w. Reeder, as the contestants.
Hart Vance, who appeared as counsel
for Knoebel and Reeder, contended that
the primaries for the Todd convention
were held in a retired place and said it
was proven that bribery and personal
assaults had been resorted to. lie Gre
ated considerable merriment in the COM
mittee by stating that the votes cost only
SO cents each Mr.. Vance said he repre-
sented the Republican majority obtained
in the election by which Gov. Bradley
was chosen and asserted that if these
frauds were endorsed by the national
committees seating Sapp and Todd, the
action would result in the loss of at
least 5000 votes in Louisville.
Judge Thompson spoke for Todd and
Sapp. He contended that the convention
could go behind the returns to investi-
gate the alleged frauds.
Mr.. Sutherland moved to seat Knoebe!
and Reeder and Mr.. Clayton moved as

be given the seats. Mr.. Claytons mo-
tion prevailed on an aye and nay -ote,

MANLEY ADMITS TT.
Comedies that Mckinley will be
Nominated on the First
Ballot.

st. Louis, Mo-, June 11-Mr. Marley
of Maine said yesterday afternoon: In
my Judgment the convention will nOmin-
ate Gov Mckinley on the first ballot for
the presidency. 1t is useless to attempt
to deny that this viii be the result. The
action Of the National committee in it's
overwhelming vote on the Alabama case
settles conclusively how the respective
states which the members of the commit
tee represent, will vote in the convention.
Mr. Reeds name will be presented to
the convention, and he will be voted for
and, l am authorized to say, that under
no conditions or circumstances can he,
or will he accept the nomination for
vice-president, if it should be rendered
to him. The great majority of the New
England delegates will be loyal to Mr..
Reed, but it is my opinion that the con,
vention is for Gov. Mckinley and will
nominate him"
Washington, D. c., June 1.-THE in
terview given by Joseph Marley con-
ceding the nomination to Mckinley was
a surprise and shock to Speaker Reed
and his supporters in Washington. The
speaker refused to believe the report
when it was shown to him last night
and denounced it as a lie. Today he de-
clines to speak of the matter. Mr.. Man
ley took the step entirely on his own
authority without consulting Mr.. Reed
or any of the Reed contingent in Wash
ington. A letter was received at Reeds
headquarters written by Mr.. Manley just
before he left Augusta for st. Louis in
which he said that he had not given up
hope of Reeds nomination.
His last step is embarrassing to the
Reed men. One of the Reed managers
said: ''The speaker could not believe
that Mr.. Marley had spoken as quoted
until we received confederation Of the
interview. He has made mistake. We
do not question his motives at all. Prob
ably he was laboring under the dis
enlargement caused by the adverse de-
cisions in the Alabama contests, which
we had expected to gain, as the seats
undoubtedly belonged to us. Perhaps he
was discouraged also by the number of
Mckinley shouters who have arrived
early on the scene We know that no
one can regret the interview today more
deeply than Mr.. Manley does. There are
100 delegates to the convention instruct
ed for Mckinley who do not want to
vote for him. Circumstances might
arise under which the convention would
see that the nomination of Mckinley
was unwise and in that event Mr.. Reed
would stand the best chance for the
nomination. We do not consider the
fight hopeless nor do we believe that Mr..
Manley does today. He made a mistake;
that was all.

FOR CHAIRMAN.
Forecast of National Republic
an Convention.
Thurston is in the Lead with Evans a
Close Second.

ST. Louis. Mo-, June 12.-Everything
points to the settlement by the national
committee upon C. w. Fairbanks of In
diana as the temporary chairman Of the
national Republican convention. But a
vigorous opposition is being waged
against him by factions Of In
diana Republicans and in the end he
may be compelled to step aside. me
wish of Senator Proctor will be graft
fed, and he will not be urged to accept
the place Of permanent chairman. or
president, of the convention. At pres
ent. this position lies between Senator
Thurston of Nebraska and III. Clay
Evans Of Tennessee. 1t is well known
that Thu1stOn would like to be president
of the convention. He was temporary
chairman of the convention in Chicago,
eight years ago, and would like to be
promoted.
On the other hand. as the vice-presi-
dental boom of HI. Clay Evans does not
grow very rapidly. there is disposition
among the committeeman to recognize
the Tennesseean with the presidency Of
the convention Evans is still in the
race for the vice-presidential nomination,
and he is so popular. especially among
the men in national public life and with
the correspondents, that much sympathy
is felt for his candidacy. On the other
hand, it is so strongly urged that an
Eastern man be named on the ticket
with Mckinley that there is not any
chance for man from the South. 1t
will pretty certainly go to Hobart of
New Jersey.
Payne on WiscOnsin's Position.
Committeeman Henry c. Payne was
interviewed by one of the local papers,
yesterday. on the subject of Wisconsin's
hn q that
Wisconsin will be in favor of the main
tenance of the single gold standard, add
ing that the party in the state has so de-
clared in its platform. I'VE do not ia
vor the Indiana plank" Mr.. Payne is
quoted as saying, NOR any other propo-
sition that is not open and emphatic for
gold. Any middle course would be often
sive to both Sides
AS to the vice-presidency, Mr.. Payne
said that no choice had been manifested
by the people of Wisconsin.
1t is perfectly evident from what the
leaders who are here say that the fnan-
cial plank which will be in most favor
will be that which pledges the party to
the maintenance of the present stand
ard until something can be done for the
extension of the bimetallic policy by
agreement. One plank that has been
quite freely canvassed by the leaders
here starts out with a declaration in OPP
position to the debasement of the cur
rency of the country, pointing out that
the Republican party established a sound
credit system by the resumption policy
of 1S75-1S79. and demanding that this
credit be held sacred; opposing the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of is to 1, or upon any basis ex-
cept by agreement with the leading
commercial nations of Europe. and de-
claring that until such agreement is per-
fected the present money standard must
be maintained.

NO MINNESOTA INSPECTION.
West Superior Board of Trade Decides
to Withdraw.

Duluth, Mimi, June 11.-[SpeciaL]-
The Superior board of trade has notified
the Minnesota state grain inspector that
the Minnesota inspection now in vogue
at Superior elevators will not be permit
ted after August 81. This action is
taken under the law passed in 1S94-95.
The Minnesota inspector has notified
the board that the withdrawal will be
made. This means that no wheat stored
in Superior elevators after that date can
be delivered on contract made on the
Duluth board, neither can they in New
York or Chicago, where certificates of in
spection by Minnesota inspectors all are
at present receivable.
The law provides that houses of over
100000 bushels capacity must be a pub
lie warehouse. There seems to be only
one solution of the difficulty, either to
allow matters TO remain as at present or
to close the houses. Practically all of
the grain which now goes through Su-
perior elevators is handled on the Du-
luth board
