Antitrust Resolutions Presented.
Saturday morning Mr.. Bryan, before
addressing the convention, presented
to the resolutions committee a set of
resolutions denouncing trusts and mo.
nOpOlies. The committee was recon
vened to receive these after II had de.
cided at a meeting held Friday even
ing not to report any resolutions to the
conference. Mr.. Bryan will endeavor
with the support of the radical ele.
ment to put his through the confer.
ence.
The speech Of Bourke Cochran Fri
day evening was a masterpiece of ora
tory and argument. Avoiding the use
of the word trust" Mr.. Cochran de-
clared that many combinations were
natural and beneficial, that they did
not decrease but increase competition,
and that they were to be encouraged
rather than stopped. At the same
time he acknowledged that combina-
tons which depended upon any spe.
cial privilege from the government
were bad and were unnatural and un-
healthy He earnestly advocated the
withdrawal of bounties and tariffs. He
stated that trusts which depended on
special privileges from government.
chartered corporations were in the
same situation, referring to the Stand
ard Oil company and it's railway priv
ileges To prevent this and to prevent
the abuses in legitimate combinations
which he acknowledged existed,
through the cupidity of the promoters
OF the trusts he advocated publicly.
Panacea for All Ills.
Publicity he made penacea for all
the ills the trust is author of, declar-
ing that if all trust accounts and deals
were made public and if railway rates
were public and if every owner of one
share in a corporation had the right as
in England to examine the corpora
tons books, the evils must disappear.
He carried his audience with him as
he wove his arguments, interspersing
humorous illustrations, starting with
generally accepted facts, and splicing
and weaving In his own dogmatic as
sertions one after another. His speech
was plausible and pleasing to his
hearers and was frequently interrupt
ed by applause and laughter.

TAME DREYFUs MEETING.
Gathering in London Proves To Be I
Spiritless Affair.

G9tuerlng In London Proves 10 DO .
Spiritless Affair.
London, Sept. 1S.-Although the
weather was beautiful, the much
talked-of demonstration in Hyde Park,
London, against the verdict of the
Rennes court-martial recondemning
Captain Dreyfus on a charge of trea-
son proved a spiritless affair. A few
thousand collected around the seven
platforms, but they were mainly boys,
servant girls and idlers. Very few Jews
or foreigners were in evidence. The
large force Of police in attendance had
nothing to do, as demonstration
could not possibly be more orderly.
The speakers were in no way infiu-
entail. Most Of the interest centered
around the platform where Mr.. HAITI
field, a relative of Dreyfus, delivered
an address,. The speakers deprecated
boycotting a whole nation ''for the
sake Of five judges and scoundrel."
At the various platforms resolutions
were adopted expressing sympathy
with Mrs. Dreyfus and adherence for
the generals who figured at the trial,
rendering congratulations to Emile
lola, Lieutenant Colonel Picquart, La
bori, Demange and others and appeal
ing to France to release and rehabili-
tate Dreyfus before it should be too
late. They were carried with the
greatest enthusiasm.
Various flags were displayed, includ-
ing the stars and stripes and the tri-
color of France. A French woman
was removed for continually crying
"vive Parmee," and a man was eject
ed for shouting "Vive MERCER"

Congressman Ermentrout Dead.

Reading, Pa, Sept. 1S.-Congress-
man Daniel Ermentrout, one of Penn
sylvania's best known Democrats and
leader of his party in national leg
islative halls, died suddenly at his
home here. The indirect cause of his
death was the lodging of piece Of
meat in his throat last Thursday. Ply
sicians had to perform an operation to
remove it, and paralysis of the parts
affected followed. He seemed to be
recovering, though, when a sinking
spell came and he quickly passed
away. A widow and a son and daugh-
ter survive him.

BRYAN DRAWS CROWD
He Speaks at the Trust Confer.
ence at Chicago.
DEMANDS wIPING OUT OF TRUSTS.

He Would Prevent Them from Doing
Interstate Business-Natural Control
OF Combinations and the Withdrawal
OF Special Favors Proposed-The Ad-
dress of Hon. Bourke Cochran a Mas
tsrpiece of OratOry and Argument.
Chicago, Sept. 16.-Theorists, agri.
culturists, free traders. and protec-
tionists having said their say at the
trust conference at Central Music hall,
labor took its inning at the opening of
the morning session and presented its
side Of the case in a series of address
es by the ablest leaders of it's forces.
That interest In the deliberations Of
the conference is growing daily was
evidenced not only by the increased
attendance of the forenoon on the part
Of both delegates and visitors, but by
the added interest shown In the
speeches and discussions. The pre-
ponderance of opinion in opposition to
the trusts which was made evident
repeatedly during the first two days
of the convention, still existed-in fact,
1t was accentuated by the frequent
and hearty applause that greeted each
point scored against the combinations
of capital that, according to the speak
ers, bring no benefits and many hard
ships TO the already difficult lot Of the
worker.
The leaders of the thought which
controls the convention are evidently
in favor Of announcing to the world
the conventions opinions through the
medium of resolutions, but whether
any formal action in the matter will
be reported from the committee APP
pointed yesterday to take charge Of
resolutions still remains to be seen. 1t
is the general belief that unless re-
port can be drawn up that will re-
ceive almost unanimous support in the.
committee room and that can be read
lily passed by the conference it would
be a waste of time to consider resolu-
tons at all. 1t is said that there is a
possibility of such resolutions being
presented If they do not express too
radically the opinion of any one fac
ton. Hence the likelihood is that IL
they come before the convention they
will be Of an educational nature rath-
er than atfiirmations of policy.
Governor Pingree, in his address to
the conference, said: "The trust Is the
forerunner, or rather the creator Of

lie founded upon democratic princi-
pies. A democratic republic cannot
survive the disappearance of demo
cratic population"

Crowds to Hear Bryan.

Chicago, Sept. 1S.-William j. Bryan
was the first speaker at the forenoon
session of the trust conference at Gen.
trail Music hall Saturday and he devot-
ed the greater portion Of the session
to an exposition of the evils resulting
from the holding of monopolies in pri-
vate hands, and to setting forth his
own ideas Of the methods of eradicat-
ing these evils. National control Of
combinations and the withdrawal OF
special favors were among his pro-
p0sals. Notice that the standard
bearer of the Democratic party was
to address tile conference drew a
crowd scarcely smaller than that
which surged about the doors Friday
evening when Bourke Cochran and
frem the same platform.
The failure Of Mr.. Bryan to address
the conference Friday evening, as it
had been previously announced he
would do, was the result of meeting
between himself and Bourke Cochran
In Central Music hall about o'clock,
at which 1t was decided that each re-
quired more time than half the even
ing session would allow. Accordingly
Mr.. Cochran was given the whole
evening and Mr.. Bryan took hrst place
on the morning programme. He was
present, however. at the evening meet
ing and made a brief explanation to
the audience Of the reasons for the
change.
Recommended Congressional Action.
Saturday Mr.. Bryan took up specifi-
cally the s0-called stock arguments of
trust promoters and presented argu.
ments designed to refute every argti-
ment In behalf of Industrial conbina-
tons. He followed out the assertions
against the control of the source of the
supply and the effect of the formation
OF trust upon employment, with spe-
cial reference to the commercial trav-
elers. Then he dealt upon the relation
OF the tariff to the corporations, fol-
lowing that with condemnation OF
discrimination by railways.
In order to destroy trusts and re-
quire them to make open accounts and
eliminate watered stock he recommen.
ded that congressional action be taken
to wipe out trusts. He was Interrupt.
ted by an auditor who queried:
II would have congress take such
action Immediately" replied Colonel
Bryan, land IL the supreme court de-
clares such law unconstitutional |
would have the constitution of the
United States so amended that il
would give congress the necessary au-
thority."
Power to Curb Trusts.
The speaker then dwelt more at
length upon the powers which should
be reposed In the state and federal
governments to curb trusts and pre-
vent the watering of stock. Mr.. Bryan
then produced copy of a circular sent
out by the Corporation Trust company
of Philadelphia telling the benefits OF
the new Delaware stock Incorporation
law over the New Jersey law. A plan
of campaign was then mapped out by
