IN the recent great battle in the Soudan. The
death Of Mr.. Hubert Howard. the second son OF
Lord Carlisle who rode with the Lancers in
their charge and was later in the day killed by
what was probably the last shot fired in ON
durman, has caused widespread regret. Gallant
and high spirited like all his race, he was as
fine type Of the adventurous young English
man as it is possible to find. A barrister by
profession, he by nature knight Grant

address showed him to be in strong
sympathy with the work of currency re-
form. Mr.. c. Stuart Patterson, the presi-
dent of the Union League of Philadel-
phia, and one Of the eleven members Of
the monetary commission, will present
the report to the convention, and eX-
plain such circumstances connected with
its preparation as will prove of interest
to the delegates.
The principal address at the first days
meeting will be delivered by Charles s.
Fairchild of New York, who was secre-
tary of the treasury under the first
Cleveland administration. In the even
ing, the delegates will be entertained at
a reception to be given by the local COM
mercial bodies.
Among the we'll known men who will
address the convention and urge the i'm
portance of am active propaganda are
