st. Louis, Mo, June 1.-THE commit
tee on credentials of the Republican con
vention organized today and by its de-
cision 10 ratify the judgments of the
national con1rnitte on contested seats,
probab bly, materially shortened the dura-
ton of the convention. The contests
from the states of Delaware and Texas
had been referred to the credntials COM
mittee by the national committee, and
these were takn up at ono. The fac
tional contest between the Higgins and
Addicks forces, which has stirred the
little state of Delaware for several years
was decided IN favor Of the former. The
resolution 10 seat ]. Edward Addicks
and his FIVE colleagues was defeated by
a vote Of % 10 20, and one TO seat the
delegation headed by ex-senator Hig-
gins was then carried by 81 TO II. Mr..
Hepburn of Iowa gave notice that he
would make q minority report TO the
convention, Recommending the seating
of the Addicks mon. Personalities were
freely used and feeling ran high all
through the night session, which was
devoted TO the Delaware conflict and the
Texas BLACK and Tan" and Lily
White imbroglio, which was still on
the boards until a late hour The de-
cision 10 ratify the national commit
tees action upon contests. in making
up the temporary roll was regarded as
victory for the Mckinley forces.
The Mckinley men organized the COM

convention. while Hepburn 81 Iowa,
Allen OF Utah and Sutherland Of New
York opposed Il on the ground that the
precedent would give the national COM
mitJee autocratic control OF the con-
Ventioas.
The Delaware case was first called.

first speech for his faction. He said

Republicans in Delaware were tired OF
the leadership Of Higgins. He was fol-
lowed by H r. Burton for the Addicks
faction. General James II. Wilson,
chairman OF the state committee, de-
clared that he represented neithr fac

II with other boiling Republicans, had
left the convention because the chair
man refused to give the minority repre-
sentation on comfttees. On being ques-
Toned, Addicks, who was present at the
meeting, said he had lived in Delaware
nineteen years and cast his first vote for
Lincoln and had voted for every RepCb-
lican candidate for president since. The
closing argument was made by Higgins.
The vote on the resolution TO seat the
Addicks faction was: Ayes, 20; nayes,

st. Louis, June 17.-Ed Howe says:

ton tickets at dollar, three for two dol

they all complain that they are selling

many predictions that the convention
will close tonight; though this Is not

dried and the interest is not great AT

east has won a distinct victory. Just
how moderate it wifi be IN using IL is
still a question. Western men are
moody and predict trouble. Repupii-
can success depends on the staying in
line of the silver sentiment, which IS
as great now as was the Mckinley sen
timent a few weeks ago.
THE silver craze has died out once
within a year and may do It again. 1t
seems to me that the Republicans will
adopt a policy here that will stand the
test of time and that the enthusiasm
that dominates Mckinley will elect him
1t was happy thought that by the Dem
ocrats adopting free silver, the Old am
bition for Mckinley, protection and Re
publicanism has returned.

Condition of Trade.

The monetary outlook is not yet clear
to some. The strength shown in recent
conventions by advocates of silver coin
age, and expectation that all the
elements fayor1ng that policy may yet
be concentrated, incline them to a
waiting attitude. Their uncertainty
retards improvement, Notwithstanding
the more widely prevalent feeling that
the monetary action of the st. Louis
Convention will be sustained by the
people. But many mills have waited
as long as they can with safety, and
signatures have been given by enough
cotton mills Of Fall River to ensure q
temporary stOppage, 1t is stated, the
nature Ofwhich is now under discussion
in conference with the Providence
manufacturers. Meanwhile the Pacific
of Lawrence and the Naumkeag Of
Salem have closed for time, and
practically all the southern cotton mills
will be represented at a meeting on
Monday with the same object. Wooden
mills are acting without concert, but
fourteen are mentionedin dispatches as
having closed this week. There is no
similar movement in other industries,
though the period of summer closing is
at hand in many Of them, and impor-
tant controversies as to wages Of iron
puddlers and other Lands make it like
" that annual stoppage in that industry
may last longer than usual.
