the subject of discussion, as well as the
breadth of information, the variety of
opinion and the diversity of aim on the
part of the delegates. 1t made it clear
that the conference met a great national
need, and that whether it results in rec
concentrations for legislation or not. it
will be in every sense success. The
three sessions of the conference developed
impassioned arrangements of trusts, and
equally vigorous defenses of them. The
day was more notable, however. for the
thorough and scholarly statement of the
many problems to be met by college men
who have long given the subject careful
study. The conference was organized by
the delegates themselves, and taken out
Of the hands of the Civic Federation. OF
the permanent officers elected more We're
opposed to trusts than favorable to them.
1t appeared that the majority of the dele
gates believed that the trusts We're evil in
many of their effects, but also that they
believed these evils could be removed by
constructive legislation. On the whole,
the proceedings fulfilled every require
ment of fair and free discussion. Anti
trust delegates perfected an informal sep
arate organization in the evening, but
there was no indication that any one fac
ton desired to secure an unfair advan-
tage over the others in the control of the
conference.
Attendance at Thursdays session was
much larger than Wednesday. Many
prominent delegates arrived during the
night and were given seats at the OPEN
ing Of the morning session.
The great national conference on COM
bnations and trusts has met with the
most sanguine expectations of the pro-
moters, the officers of the Civic Federa-
ton of Chicago. Although many leading
lights, who were expected to attend, failed
to put in an appearance, the distinguished
gathering at Central Music Hall fully
justified the great purpose for which it
was intended This great meeting, at
tended by this country's most distinguish
ed statesmen, orators and deep thinkers,
will be handed down in history as one
of the most notable gatherings in the
nineteenth century.

Transport Allowed to Clear by the
British Authorities.


. Clearance papers have been allowed the
Tartar at Hong Kong. 1t is supposed
clearance was allowed upon the sugges-
ton of the British foreign office to the
British governor at Hong Kong that it
would be unwise to interfere with Amer
lean transports.
The War Department was officially
notified Wednesday morning of the de-
tention at Hong Kong by the British au
thorities of the transport Tartar, which
they claimed TO be overcrowded with
men. Gen. Otis cabled the facts. The
captain of the vessel also cabled from
Hong Kong.
The Tartar is a British vessel and
shows the British ensign over her stern
to indicate her nationality, although the
United States army transport flag flies
at her masthead. Her regular service
was between Victoria and Hong Kong.
1t is declared that her charter by the
Usited States Government divested her
of her mercantile character and made her,
for the time being, Il regular American
war vessel, and as such, under the Ge
neva convention, entitled TO full extra
territoriality throughout the world.
Officials in Washington deny that
Great Britain has any jurisdiction over
the transport Tartar, and Ambassador
Choate was cabed to make strong repre-
sentations TO the British Government on
the subject. Overcrowding is also denied.
it being pointed out that remodeling the
ship increased her passenger accommoda
tions by 30 per cent.

When Franklin H. Head, president of
the Civic Federation of Chicago, called to

not all the seats in Central Music Hall

the introductory addresses by President
Head of the Civic Federation, DIR. How
ard S. Taylor, representing Chicago, and
Attorney General Akin, representing Hi
nois.
Thirty-five States were represented, the
calling of names occupying one hours
time. 1t was afternoon before any move
was made toward preparing program or
permanent organization As soon as
President Head announced that the meet

tion 1t became apparent there was To be
a clash in the selection of committee on

1t was unanimously decided that the
committee on program be comprised Of
one delegate from each State appointed
by the Governors and from each organ

selected by delegates in private confer

convention. This matter being settled,
President Head announced that the Civic

A BLOODY RIOT.
Seven Negroes Slaughtered by White
Miners at Carterville, Ill.

Carterville, H., was the scene of
bloody riot, in which seven negroes were
killed, and two others received slight
wounds. Trouble has been lowering ever
since the militia was recalled by Gov.
Tanner The white miners of the place
have refused TO allow the negro miners TO
come into town, always meeting them and
ordering them back. Saturday, however,
thirteen negroes, all armed, marched into
town, going to the Illinois Central depot,
where they exchanged few words with
the white miners. There the negroes
pulled their pistols and opened fire on the
whites, who at once returned the fire, and
q running fight was kept up. The ne
groes scattered, but were closely followed
by the whites, running up the main street,
while the remainder ran down the railroad
track. Here the execution was done, all
who went through town escaping. After
the fight was over four dead bodies were
picked up and another found mortally
wounded. Later two negroes were found
dead near the Brush mines.
A special from Springfield, ILL.,, says:
Gov. Tanner has ordered two companies of
the Fourth Regiment, under command of
Col. Bennett, to Uarterville.
