NATIONAL CONVENTION
OF OPERATIVE POTTERs WILL BE
HELD IN WHEELING NEXT
MONTH.
SOME IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
VIII BE Brought Up for Actfon-Many
Delegates VIII Assemble Together.
Exact Date and the Meeting Place
not Yet Decided Upon-Other Bust
ness and Industrial Notes.

The annual convention of the Broth
erhood of Operative Potters of America
will be held in this city during the
coming month, and will be attended
by hundreds of delegates from various
sections of the country. 1t is init
mated that several questions of very
considerable importance will be
brought up at the session, and the pro-
ceedings will no doubt be interesting
and profitable.
The members of the local ~organiza-
ton Of the Brotherhood will hold a
meeting in a few DAYS for the purpose
of fixing the date and making other
necessary arrangements for the conven-
ton. While the meeting place has
not been decided upon, it is likely that
the Trades Assembly hall will be Sc
lected. One of the local potters last
evening spoke to a Register represen-
tative with reference to the merits of
the new uniform scale which was
adopted by the manufacturers through
the efforts of the Brotherhood and
went into effect last month. He also
stated that the potters in the East are
dissatisfied with the provisions of the
new scale on the grounds that it re-
duces their wages in some respects, and
have for this reason threatened to
withdraw from the Brotherhood and
organize a new union. He thought
that this is one of the principal mat
tiers to which the attention of the as
sembled potters may be called for care
full consideration.
At each convention Of the Brother
hood the selecting of the next meeting
place is always an interesting feature
of the proceedings, and at the last ses-
sion a large majority of the votes were
cast in favor of Wheeling. Every city
in the country where there are locals
of the organization will be represented
by delegates and it will therefore re-
quire a very large hall in order to sue
c~essfully carry out the work before the
session.

TO MAKE PEACE WITH CHINA.
Judge Days Name sassested as One of the
American Commissioners.

With the three pending diplomatic
notes bearing on the Chinese situation
disposed of by answers 10 the respective
powers, the attitude of the United States
now is waiting one. There was a gen.
eral relaxation of anxiety apparent yes
terday, and the day. moreover, passed
without any developments in the way of
important dispatches.
Now that the notes are acted upon, the
question of the commission to negotiate
peace is again revived Among others
whose name was suggested last night as
one OF the Commissioners was Judge
William r. Day. of Canton, the former
Secretary of State. Judge Day served
with the American-Spanish peace COM
mission, and in all probability would be
persona grata TO China His ilI-health.
however, is a serious consideration. which
