  ing his address MT. Capen said: We welcome you to a renewal of old fel-. lowships and to a discussion of great problems that confront the nations Together we will kindle anew the mis- sionary spirit and do what we may to lift the cross of Christ little higher We have more faith than ever in the system which was born in the cabin of the Mayfower, the germ of a free church and a free state. While we have abated not one whit of our belief in the independence of the local church, we have ourselves been coming closer together as denomination in our work
 We are told that America little realized the silent revolution that has taken place in England, bringing that nation into fuller sympathy with the democratic institutions of America. We, on our part, have been appreciating more and more that we have common literature and to a large extent a com mon ancestry. Together we believe not only in religious liberty and hu- manity and in the right of self-govern- ment but also that the gospel of the Son of God is the only power to re- deem the nations.'
 The report of the American secretary, H. A. Hagen of Boston, was then pre- sented. This evening there will be ad- dresses of welcome by Governor Vol colt and Mayor Quincy. The president of the council, James Durrill Angell president of the University of Michi- gan, will also deliver his address

 | Asked if he thought $1 was too high l license fee for each car, Senator Fox replied that he did not think it was | He said: eff I was a member of this | committee I would take jurisdiction in 1 this matter and give the roads a chance to take it to the supreme court. How long will the people rest with such in roads on their rights and liberties We have now as high tax as the people will stand and yet we have not sufficient school facilities and our streets are in a worse condition than they were thirty years ago. We had an influx of money into the city treasury when the Derby road was sold and when the town farm property was sold. Where has it gone? l think it is about time that the people found where the leakage was. Isn't it about time we wake up and see where we are. When the taxpayers do wake
 up think they will see what the mat ter is.''
 James Mcclure appeared in favor of the ordinance. In the course of his re- marks he said: "As long as money rules the Consolidated road and the street railroads will rule the city gov eTnment.'
 Anthony Carroll favored the ordi- nance. He said that if the common council had no jurisdiction then let the committee recommend to the common council that steps be taken to secure legislation which will give the city power to act. Referring to vested rights, he said that they were rights deliberately stolen from the people Others who spoke in favor of the ordi- nance were Robert D. Grant of West vile, William Trueman and Joseph R. Manning
 When Chairman Cooley called for those who were opposed to the passage of the ordinance no one responded
 Other important proposed ordinances before the committee for hearings were for the equipment of street railway cars with folding running boards and inside guard rails, one prohibiting more than two lines of tracks on any street, a petition for the repeal of the ordi- nance requiring lights on public con- veyances petition for amendment of the fire disrict ordinance, a petition of s. z. Poli for amendment of the build ing laws and permission to erect the ater, .and a resolution for an ordinance requiring a lead or galvanized pipe for water connections and requiring all such connections to be made before streets are paved.
 The committee took no action on any of these matters last night but decided to hold an executive session next We'd nesday night, when they will all be acted upon.

 The Shamrock's mainsail was hosted,

 George Wyndham, parliamentary un- der-secretary of state for war and mem Der of parliament for Dover addressing his constituents last evening, likened himself in official knowledge to full bottle, but said he must not allow the contents to escape.

M4SS4CHUS FITS DEMOCRATS.

 Heud of State Ticket.


 Boston, Sept 2.-The declination of the two men who headed last years democratic ticket--Hon. Augustin B. Bruce of Lawrence and Hon. Edward J. Slattery of South Framingham-t0 run again this year proved the sensa- tion of the preliminary gathering of the democrats for the state convention, which will be held here tomorrow. Robert Treat Paine, jr., of this city has consented to head the ticket, but there is quite a contest for second place, with no afireed candidate at late hour. There seemed, however, to be a general sentiment in favor of John D. Mack of North Adams and his supporters from the western part of the state worked hard all the evening in his behalf.
 Enough of the platform was known this evening to show that it viii en- dorse William Jennings Bryan for president; the Chicago platform, in cluding the free coinage of silver and against trusts, while it will also de- nounce imperialism and expansion. One of the resolutions for the platform submitted to the committee and subse- quently killed was that offered by Har- Ty C, JdQullll Ol WCllCoiCy, dCilOuHeile, Aguinaldo as traitor and repudiating his statement that he had the sym- pathy of the democratic party. The resolution also demanded that the Phil ippines be given the territorial govern ment, subjec. to the inhabitants talk ing the oath of allegiance. 1t was said late tonight that Mr. Jacquith would offer his resolution to the convention. Another resolution was offered to the committee demanding that the state purchase the Boston and Albany rail- road. It is said that this will be fav- orably acted upon and incorporated into the platform.
