harmonious of any meeting In the asso-

was the annual report of the secretary.

BUSINESS MEMS ASSOCIATION
INACTIVE.-The question is frequently
a skcd, what has become of the Bust
ness Mems Association" Such an or
ganization was effected here last sum

interest seemed to have expired and the
association had as well be dead as re-

turned yesterday. They were not much
clated over the success they met with
or the treatment they received. They
arrived in Washington about n. IN. and
proceeded TO the Metropolitan Hotel.
where they put up for the day. After
eating breakfast about 9:15, started for
the Capitol, where they were met by
Senator Daniel, who presented them to
the Naval Committee. The gentlemen
undertook to lay the question before the
committee, but were only given ten min
utes 10 do So and It was seen from the
start that they would not need any
longer time. as the minds Of the com
mittee were already made up before
they said anything. The Secretary
gave them but little encouragement. He
claimed than he could not conscientious
ly recommend the building of ship in
the yard as he thought that work could
be done cheaper. Outside the yards
the men work ten hours, while In the
yards they only work eight hours. He
did condescend to say he might give this
yard q torpedo boat to build.
