LoI~s July 28-The international so- ciallst trades congress met again in St. Martins. town hall today. In view of the disorder which characterized yesterdays meeting there was large crowd of out saders present, who apparently were anx. lous to see repetition of the trouble. As the delegates presented themselves for admission close scrutiny was made or their credentials, 1t being feared that some of the anarchists would endeavor to get on the floor and make trouble. some of those who bore credentials which were not in exactly the right shape were refused permission to enter tho hall
 Herr Singer, the well known socialist of the German reichstag, who speaks English fuently, acted as chairman at today's session. He referred to yester- days disturbance and announced that order would have to be maintained. After the usual preliminaries the congress took up the question of the admission of anarchists, against which a large major- ity vote was cast yesterday. Speeches for and against their recognition as dele5 gates were made. The speakers were very much excited and those in favor of
 
 contended that if they were not admitted the congress would not be international- ly representative in its scope and that its decisions and conclusions would not carry the weight which they would other- wise have.
 The opponents of the proposition de- clared with equal spirit that the adm1s- sion of the anarchists would have the effect of leading the general public to be- ieVe that the socialists favored the an- archist propaganda, which the speakers contended was not the case.
 Eventually another vote was taken, and it was decided-203 to lCf-to reIusa to recognize them.

It was nnaily decided to force an entrance into the haiL and the decision was no sooner arrlVeQ at than it was carried out. rush was made for the doorkeepers, who were speedily upset, and the crowd of anarcht ists made their way to the gallery. Then arose a perfect babel. The delegates shouted in their native tongues, Russian. Polish, French, German. Italian, span ish and English, that the intruders should be put out.
 Finally when the voice of a speaker could be heard above the din Tom Mann and James K. Hardie addressed the chair in advocacy of the admission of one qf the anarchists. Other speakers opposes the proposition, and the excitement waxr ed until 1t appeared that there was deg cidedly favorable chance of yesterdaya disgraceful scene being repeated. Herp Singer finally succeeded in obtaining a little order, and it was then agreed that properly accredited anarchists should be admitted, but should be allowed to take no part In the debates. Later anothep vote was taken and 1t was decided to up- hold the Zurich resolution, which, in eff feet, provides that anarchists shall not be admitted. There the question req mains at present.
