an audience which thronged the hall.
Col. Bryan's address was the feature
of the morning session. He was called
for as soon as Chairman Howe called
the convention TO order at ten o'clock.
After protesting against the en-
thronement of money and the debase-
ment of man, he came out with an I'M
qualified, flat-footed assertion that he
favored any action or movement aimed
to destroy trusts or combinations.
At the evening session and after the

THE PRICE OF PEACE.
Lay Down Arms Were
Refused.

New York, Sept. 16.-A special to the
World from Ithaca, N. y, says: Your
correspondent is able to say on author
ity that the Schurman peace commits
sion offered every possible inducement
short of absolute self-government to
Aguinaldo and his followers. Aguinaldo
was promised, as a price for the res
toration of peace in the Tagalos tribe,
a bonus of more than $4,000 a year
while the Tagalos remained peaceful.
He was told that he could choose men
from his tribe for the minor municipal
offices.
The commission went so far as to
promise Aguinaldo the moral support of
the United States government, if such
were needed to make his leadership of
the Tagalos thoroughly secure.
With all these inducements, tempt
ing as they must have been, Aguinaldo,
as the recognized head of the insurg-
ent movement, declined to yield. He
insisted upon immediate self-goyern-
ment, and, as his insistence was so firm
as to make an agreement impossible,
the American commissioners ceased ne
gotiations.
President Schurman was frank in
telling your correspondent day or so
ago that he favored giving to the va
rious tribes the largest possible meas
ure of home rule at the earliest mo-
ment. He thought the several tribes
could administer their local affairs,
elect municipal officers, establish courts
and penal institutions, judiciary, ETC.,
but he did not believe it possible to
allow the natives TO participate in the
general government.

KEEPS UP ITS PACE.
for This Season of the Year
Ii Reported.

New York. Sept. 16.-Bradstreet's says:
with comparatively little stock or other
speculative activity, and with few strong
ly new features presenting themselves, the
general business of the country goes for

volume for this period of the year. Fall
trade activity would appear TO be at its
maximum. judging from advices Of activity
and strength of demand reported alike
from western and eastern markets and
shared in also by most South Atlantic
and interior southern cities. Yellow fever
at some southern points, resulting in quar-
antine regulations, has tended to restrict
business at a few markets, notably New
Orleans, while unfavorable crop and
weather conditions limit business at Gal
weston. Iron and steel are quiet, but very
strong at the east. Blast furnace reports
show that current consumption and pro-
duction are not far apart, but production
fails to show the expansion looked for, and
while current work is at the rate of l4,0O0,-
600 tons per year estimates of the years
production do not run much beyond l3,5oO,-

BoERS STILL FIRM.
Reply to Chamberlain Is
UnyieldinE.

London, Sept. 19.-The Transvaal sit
uation remains practically unchanged.
The general apprehension in regard TO
the outcome was reelected by the de-
cline in consols and stocks on the stock
exchange, where, although all stocks
continued depressed, there was not the
slightest approach to excitement.
The text of President Kruger's re-
ply was issued by the secretary of state
for the colonies, Mr.. Chamberlain, Mon
day afternoon. The language in many
places is taken TO indicate firm, un-
yielding position. II is eminently of
the negative and ineonclusive" charac-
ter, which Mr.. Chamberlain declared
would compel the imperial government
to consider the situation afresh. 1t
practically repudiates suzerainty, re-
verts to the seven years franchise, and
declines to give equality to the Dutch
and English languages in the volksraad.
1t says the Transvaal government ar
IDENTITY desires and gladly accepts ar
bitration, as its firm intention is to adj
here TO the terms of the London con-
vention of 1884. The dispatch concludes
by trusting that the British govern
ment, on reconsideration. may not
deem it fit to make more onerous or
new proposals, but will adhere TO
Great Britain's proposal for a joint
commission of inquiry, as previously
explained by the secretary of state for
the colonies to the imperial parlia-
ment."
Pretoria, Sept. 10.-The Transvaal
state secretary, L. w. Reitz, in the
course of an interview, declared that
the government, the volksraad and the
people were unanimous regarding the
attitude which the Transyaal has as
sumed, and that there was no founda-
ton whatever for the reports of differ
ence. Mr.. Reitz also asserted that the
decision was arrived at in
conjunction with the Orange Free
State.
London, Sept. 1o.-The Cape Town
correspondent of the Daily Mail says:
The United States consul in Cape Town
has gone to Bloemfontein at the re-
quest of the government of the Orange
Free State, to confer regarding the
crisis. The Orange Free State eXecu-
tive is anxious to secure American in
tervention.

SHELLS THE ENEMY.
Cruiser Charleston Is Unsuccessful
I'm Attempt TO DIsmount Insur-
gent Gun Mt OIaugapo.

Manila, Sept. l6.-The cruiser Charles
ton at daylight last Thursday morning
joined the patrol ship Zafro, near
Grande island, Subig bay, with the OBJ
ject of dismounting gun at Olaugapo
that had been used by the insurgents.
The Charleston stood in front Of tie
town while the Zafiro sailed northwarcl.
At 5000 yards the Charleston began
Smelling the enemy, who replied at
once. The first shot from the insur-
gents gun burst boats length ahead
of the Zafiro, while the second ricochet-
ted between the Charleston's masts.
The Charleston kept throwing in eight
inch shells with great accuracy, and
soon destroyed the earthworks around
the gun, which the captain of the cruis-
er believed had been dismounted. Then
the Charleston steamed closer inshoIe
and got within 1000 yards of the earth
works. The insurgents at once began
firing again, and some of the shells fell
very close to the cruiser. Both ships
then withdrew, the Zafiro returning to
Manila, while the Charleston remained
in Subig bay. The Filipino fire was re-
markably accurate, and the gun was
probably not handled by native gun
ner. Black powder was used, and six
or nine-inch Spanish shells were fired.
The Charleston fired 60 shells.
