ANTITRUST CONFERENCE.
Organizes mt 81. Louis with Gov. j. ID.
sayers OF Texas an Per-
manent Chairman.

ST. Louis, Sept. 21.-The governors OF
Arkansas, Tennessee. Michigan, Mis-
souri,, Colorado and Iowa, most of them
accompanied by their attorneys gener-
al, and the attorneys general and other
representatives of Montana, Indiana,
Mississippi and Washington responded
TO the invitation of Gov. j. ID. Sayers, of
Texas, TO meet i'm conference for the
purpose Of discussing the trust ques-
ton, and assembled Wednesday az the
Planters hotel, where three sessions
were held. The conference will be con-
cluded this morning when the commit
tee on resolutions will be ready 10 re-
port. Gov. Sayers was present with his
attorney general and was chosen per-
manent chairman of the conference.
Cows. McLaurin, of Mississippi; Foster,
of Louisiana, and Gambler. of Georgia,
sent regrets. Most of the day was spent
in speechmaking, and almost every one
of those present was afforded an oppor-
tunity to air his views on the question.
All the speakers were listened TO with
great attention. There were several
tits between speakers of opposite po-
litical faith that gave spice TO the pro-
ceedings.
At the morning session Gov. Steph-
ems, of Missouri, delivered himself OF n
partisan fling nj the republican nation
al administration, criticising its ex-
pansion policy and declaring that
trusts and Imperialism go hand i'm hand.
Gov. Shaw. of Iowa, took up the gaunt-
let thrown down by Gov Stephens,
and at the opening of the afternoon
session answered him with speech
that brought smiles TO the faces Of
most of those present. In turn, Gov.
Jones, of Arkansas, put Iowa's chief
magistrate on the spit, and roasted him
for using facetious language at such a
gathering. Attorney General Taylor,
of Indiana, also took occasion TO rap
the knuckles of Missouri's governor.
There seemed TO be n great difference
of opinion as TO the best method of
remedying the so-called trust evil.
Some Of those present thought that the
state laws now in vogue were sufficient
TO control the operations of the com
binations complained Of, while others
NcIc VI 'hc oplhioh tndl UNIFORM laws
should be enacted by the several states
and by congress. Some were for the
complete humiliation of the trusts,
while others favored their regulation.
Cows. Sayers and Pingree showed them
selves strongly in favor of the first idea,
as was also Gov. Jones, of Arkansas.
Cows. Thomas, Of Colorado, and Shaw,
of Iowa, favored the enactment of
laws TO restrict the combines. There
was almost as much difference of opin-
ion among the attorneys general who
were heard AT midnight the commit
tee on resolutions was still in session
behind closed doors, trying 10 bring in
TO shape the widely divergent views
held by the different members and Gov
cred by the resolutions referred TO IL.

Paris, Sept. 20.-M. Guerin surrcn-
dered shortly after four o'clock this
morning. His companions were al
lowed 10 go free. Thus the six weeks
siege ended in sublimely ridiculous
style. The night was well chosen by
the government, as the excitement over
the capture of the fort would inevitably
divert attention from the pardon cx-
tended TO Dreyfus. The plan was TO
attack the building and arrest Guerin
and his band.
At three am. M. Guerin appeared az a
window and asked an hours respite to
make up his mind, declaring that he
would surrender then IL his friends
were not arrested. In the meantime NJ.
Millevoye had returned to the fort, ac-
companied by Jos. Lasies, anti-Semite
deputy for Condom, 10 renew his efforts
20 persuade the garrison to surrender.
After a stormy half hours discussion
between Guerin and his companions

Paris, Sept. 21.-The Journal OfIiciel
publishes the decree granting pardon
TO Dreyfus. In report preceding the
decree Marquis de Gallifet. minister
of war. points out that Dreyfus has al
ready undergone five years deporta-
tion. but that, as the law does not as
simulate his deportation with seven
years solitary confinement. the prison
er would have TO undergo ten years de-
tention. The minister also calls atten-
ton TO the fact that the health of the
prisoner is seriously compromised and
that he would not be able without great
danger TO undergo prolonged deten-
ton. The report of the war minister
concludes thus:
THE government will not have met the
wishes OF the country, which desires pacli-
cation. II Il does not hasten 20 efface all

are solemnly impressed by the occasion,
even if they cannot understand the ser

to school and then to Sunday school. :"
Not SO very tired as you suppose. They

and quarter long. Then comes a re-
cess to go into Sunday school, then
only about an hour there, and no such

severe than a whole service at church,

if they cannot attend both, the Sunday
