TR RUST- T-CONFERENCE At CHICdGO.
l. tbOr Men In Evidence Antitrust
Speech Raises Enthusiasm.

Chicago, Sept. 13-The conference on
binations began here to-day with less
than half the delegates appointed by
York, whose delegates were headed by
w. Bourke Cochran, and Wisconsin
We're most numerously represented. The
meeting took place in Central Music
hall and was called to order at 1920
by Frank H. Head, the temporary
chairman appointed by the civic feder-
alton. Addresses of welcome were
made by Attorney General Akin on be-
half of Governor Tanner, who is i'll, and
DR.. Taylor on behalf of Mayor Harri-
son. With the progress of the speak
ing to-day IT became evident that many
of the delegates had come with firm
convictions for or against trade COM
binations. The speech of Mr.. Wooten of
Texas, delivered during the afternoon,
hammering trusts in a merciless man
ner, aroused the widest enthusiasm in
and the delegations from many western
and southern states, while the eastern
ers generally smiled critically and kept
their arms folded.
The labor organizations did not Sc
cure recognition until vigorous speeches
had been made by Mr.. Cans and John
w. Hayes, also Knight of Labor dele
gate. Mr. Hayes created something of
a sensation by declaring. in language
as scornful as 1t was vigorous, that che
did not intend to be classed with the
New Jersey delegation, even if he did
vote in that cradle of trusts" The
on-attendance of many delegates was
not unexpected and Secretary Easley
announced that probably hundred of
the tardy ones, including Governor
Pingree of Michigan, would be present
tomorrow. Among those present to-
day were: w. B. COCHRAN, Albert Shaw
of the Reviews of Reviews, Governor
Atkinson of West Virginia. ex-Gover-

sons had assembled there and as six
tugs assisted in warping the Oceanic
this crowd jostled each other in order
to get to the gangway.
w. j. Parrie, a former lord mayor of
Belfast, and one Of the members of the
firm of Harland & Wolff, builders OF
the Oceanic, made the trip in her in or
der to test the behavior of the vessel,
The steamship showed herself to be as
steady as a church. The weather DUR
ing the voyage across was mild. The
time from Queenstown was days 2
hours and 81 minutes. The daily runs
We're 44O knots, 470, asa, 4S3 and 431,
total of 2,7SO knots for the voyage. Chief
Engineer C. w. Sewall said that no at
tempt had been made to get speed out
of the vessel. The amount of coal
burned every "a hours was 400 tons.
In the engine room of the Oceanic 1873
men are employed. "The engines new
er slowed or stopped on the voyage"
said Mr.. Sewall There was no fric-
ton and absolutely no vibration We
carried an average steam pressure OF
100 pounds. The average revolutions
were 72 to the minute and the vessel
only rolled degrees. The object in
building this vessel was to make regu-
lar trip rough or calm weather." There
were 1,456 passengers on the Oceanic,
and there was not complaint from one
of them. Before reaching port the sa-
loon passengers held meeting and
adopted resolutions thanking the Off
GERS for their courteous treatment.

THE GREAT OCEANIC.
Particulars of Her Maiden Trip A cross
the Atlantic.

New York, Sept. 13.-Never since the
arrival here of the steamship Great
Eastern has there been vessel in this
port comparing in size with the White
Star Liner Oceanic which arrived here
to-day from Liverpool on her maiden
voyage. The Oceanic is 704 feet in
length While the ship did not break
any record she made fair voyage and
one that is satisfactory to the officers
of the line. The average hourly speed
was only 1896 knots. This is due to
the fact that the vessel had a crew of
green firemen aboard, owing to the
strike in Liverpool. AS the Oceanic
was coming up the harbor steamships,
sailing craft and yachts all footed
welcome from whistles or fog horns.
AS the vessel passed the battery the
south wall was crowded with sightseers
who cheered welcome to the leviathian
which responded with toots from her
big SIREN.
At the pier the Warmest welcome was
in store for the new conner, 5000 per-

REPLY OF THE TRANSVAAL
PRES. KRUGER and EXEC UIIVE
COUNCIL COUNSIDER II,
Hold an Evening Session While Crowds
Outside ADxiOusly Await the Decision
fers With the Orange Free State by
Telegraph.

Pretoria Sept. 13.-President Kruger
and the executive council reassembled
this evening to consider the reply to be
made to the British secretary of state
of the colonies, Joseph Chamberlain.
They are still comforting by telegraph
with the Orange Free State. The deci-
sion is anxiously awaited by the
crowds outside the executive building.
A communication has been received
from the imperial government stating
that although anxious for a prompt re-
ply, the imperial authorities do not de-
sire to tie the Transvaal authorities
down to forty-eight hours. The reply
will possibly come before the Volks-
raad tomorrow. The decision of the
executive will undoubtedly be influ-
enced by the action of the Orange Free
State. The government is still willing
to amend the joint commission or one
originally proposed. The Transvaal Of
fcers deny any knowledge of the re-
ported offer Of ten thousand Irish
Americans to fight against Great Brit
ain

SPECIAL MEETING or 1LDERMEN
One Will Probably be Called for Next
Monday Night.

A petition will be set in circulation
to- day among members of the board of
aldermen calling for special meeting
of the board next Monday night to act
upon the orders for the paving of East
Chapel street with vitrified brick The
order and committee recommendation
that the street be paved was not passed
at the last meeting of the aldermen, as
the necessary bond issue had not yet
been recommended by the committee on
appropriations and voted upon by the
common council and the charter prohib-
its the passage of orders for work for
which no appropriation shall have been
made.
The committee on appropriations re-
ported at the last meeting of the coun-
cilmen, Monday night, and the recon-
mendation for the issuance of 1000
worth Of paving bonds to pay for the
paving of East Chapel street with vitr-
fled brick was adopted and the recon-
mended order from the street commit
tee was passed. 1t seems now that if
the aldermen wait until their next
regular meeting in October before act
ing upon the order and the bond issue,
it will 50 delay the paving work that it
is therefore a strong sentiment among
the aldermen favoring the calling of a
special meeting and passing of the or
ders so that work on East Chapel street
may begin at once.

DREYFUS NOT YET P.1RDONED.
RothschfIds Deny Rumor That They
Have Received word.

London, Sept. 13.-The rumor which
was current this afternoon that the
Rothschilds had received word from
Paris that Dreyfus had been pardoned
was absolutely denied by them. Such
action they said, would be absolutely
impossible until the council of revision
should pass on the appeal which will
probably be next Monday. Queen Vic
toria, who is at Balmoral, Scotland, is
said to be receiving a great number of
kilograms and letters from her subjects
at home and abroad begging her to
plead with President Loubet for Drey-
fus' pardon. 1t is known that the news
of the Rennes verdict, which reached
the court at Balmoral Saturday night,
greatly affected the queen, who had
followed the proceedings with attentive
interest.

not catch up to her and the Columbia

BAY STATE PROHIBITIONISTS
Nominate Ticket but Take No Stand
on Expansion Question.

Worcester, Mass, Sept. 13.--The an
tion party was held in Association hall
to-day. Despite the apparent lack of
interest noticeable of late among the
members of the party, the convention
was an enthusiastic one, with more
delegates present and more towns rep
resented than for many years past.
The essential points of the platform, as
reported by the committee on resolu-
tions and platforms, were the declara
tions in favor of the abolition of the IL
quor traffic, and against the saloon as
the deadliest enemy of the laborer. On
the issues of commerce, currency and
territorial expansion no stand was
taken, the platform considering them
too important to be dealt with merely
as party footballs backed by scheming
politicians backed by saloon interests"
The platform favors woman suffrage,
stating that intelligence and not sex
should qualify voter The platform
denounced the army canteen system of
the government and the decision of
Attorney General Griggs on the Can
teen issue. The Mckinley admnistra-
tion was also criticised In other partic-
ulars. The following ticket was nomi-
mated: Governor, John w. Baer of
Medford; Lieutenant-G Governor, James
H, Roberts of Cambridge; secretary,
John 3. Lewis of Reading; treasurer
Herbert B. Griffin of Winthrop; audi
tor, Franklin A. Palmer Of Stock
bridge; attorney general, Sidney Per-
ley of Salem

They Were Money Spenders.

The officers in charge of the Argen.
tine Republic training ship here late
ly were the most lavish distributors OF
money in port for years. The luxur-
lance with which their ship Is fur
nished and manned and supplied is an
indication of the wealth of the COM
missioned men aboard. The assign
ment to the Presidente Sarmiento was
a preferred one, secured in most in
stances probably by family or political
connection. The officers are all men
of means and are free with their gold.
They bought curios and cameras here
till the clerks of the favored establish
ments were weary. Some of the Of
ficers had Irish names, but all were
true sons of Argentine. In that coun-
try there Is an Irish colony established
about seventy years ago and as Lieut..
Brady remarked, only few OF the peo-
pie In the settlement can say Good
Morning" IN English.

FOR A SHORT TIME
Some People Delayed in
Departing for Hawaii.
Ouaranti Regulation AGAINST
Small Pox Ports-soard Of Health
Meeting Held.
(From Wednesdays DailyD

There was a crowd Of indignant and
disappointed people at the wharf yes
terday when the w. G. Hall steamed
out yesterday morning. The dis
gruntled ones were passengers who
came by the Australia and upon hear
ing of the volcanic outbreak had
booked for the scene of action. They
had forgotten that before landing they
had been informed that recently en-
acted resolution of the Board of Health
from San Francisco. while that city is
infected with smallpox, should report
daily to the health officer up to the
fourteenth day after leaving the infect
ed port. They were told again in the
morning regarding this resolution. The
additional information was furnished
that all the restricted ones could have
their money back by applying at the
ticket Office. All sorts of influence was
brought to bear to have the resolution
set aside, and there was more or less
severe comment and strong Language
used by the recent arrivals who saw
their hopes of seeing the volcano fad
ing into the distance.
The members of the Board of Health
hurriedly convened in special meet
ing. The resolution was brought on,
and discussed. After some talk 1t was
decided that the measure had meant Il

cabin passengers were exempt. They
could go to the volcano IL they de

DISORDER IN SPAIN.

VALENCIA, Spain, July 2.-Very
serious disturbances are in progress
here. Under the orders OF the Cap
tain General of Valencia, Gen. Motto
the troops occupied the streets yester-
day morning and now hold the STRAIT
egic points. In the beginning of the
riots the mObs placed obstacles on the
street railway tracks and stopped the
cars, stoning the gendarmes when
they tried to remove the barriers. Fl.
nally the troops charged and the first
shots were fired. Several persons were
wounded. In one case bullet passed
through a shop door and killed a shor
assistant within. As the day advanc.
ed the disorders increased. The troops
were stationed at many points and the
artillery was held in readiness. The
rioters thereupon erected barricades
which the cavalry captured only after
fierce fighting, in which many were
wounded.
