With 0ld-Time vigOr.

CHICAGO. Feb. 13.--Storny scenes
characterized the sessions OF the ma
tional conference preceding the final
adjournment tonight
The climax came when Delegate JOS
eph Parker. a middle Of the road popu-
list. surprised the conference with a
resolution pledging the delegates TO
vote for no party that does not stand
for the government ownership and the
principle OF direct legislation. The dem
ocrats interpreted this as an attack on
W. j. Bryan. and we're On their feet in
an instant TO block the movement. A
score Of delegates took the floor and
all tried TO talk at the same time.
You must not stlne free speech
here" was shouted. Everybody must
be heard" war a warning that came
from delegate in the gallery. Chair
man Monnett was IN doubt as to what
to do. Disorder reigned for ten min
utes and then Chairman Monnett tenn
porarlly adjourned the convention.
A, strong attempt vas made at the
conference today TO Offset the partisan
effect Of the resolutions adopted yes
terday denouncing the pending curren-
cy bill Frank S. Monnett. the perma-
nant chairman of the conference. made
speech in which he declared the pur-
pose Of public ownership OF public util-
tiles was being carried in :he republi-
can party, as well as the democratic
party.
In the republican northwest" said
he, "sixtyiive per cen. II the putlic
utilities are owned by the public,
whereas. in Eany southern denlocT tic
states. less than five per cen- are so
owned.
II would remind the convention that
Ohio. which is the state OF the presi-
dent, is also the home Of the sherman
antitrust act. II We have an Attorney
General Griggs we also had an Attor-
ney General olney."
The report Of the committee on ma
ticnal organization was unanimously
adopted. NJ. L. Lockwood of Pennsyl-
yania was unanimously elected presi-
dent of the national organization.

Left His Post in Pretoria Because He
Objected to Acting as British
Representative.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-A state
ment was given out tonight by Charles
f. Macrum. former United States con-
sui at Pretoria He says;
II could not remain in Pretoria sac
rihcing my own self respect and that
of the people Of Pretoria, while the
government at home continued to leave
me in the position of British consul
and not American consul, 1 had the
humiliation as representative of the
American government Of looking into
envelopes bearing the official seal of
the American government opened and
officially sealed with a sticker notifying
ME that the contents had been read
by the censor at Durham.
Speaking OF his removal as United
States consul he said;
Secretary Hay has been a silent or
conniving partner TO the discrediting
reports of my official acts. When I
accepted my post as consul knew
nothing of any secret alliances between
American and Great Britain.
There is not one soul who can point
a single official act of mine which de-
parted from the strictest neutrality

BIG AUTHORIZATION BILL.
Naval Provisions Greater Than Since
the Civil War.

NEW YORK. Feb. IA special to
the Herald f,om Washinstol says:
This years naval appropriation hill
will carry more money tnan has been
voted by congress in any regular APP
rropriatlon bill since the civil war and
Probably win authorize expenditures
as great as those under the regular and
the allotments from the fifty million
dollar national defense fund in the iis-
cal rear 1899.
The estimates of the navy depart
menI for the year footed up SIS. .OO0. 900,
and the department would like to have
every cent for which 1t asked. Con-
gress will scale down the estimates
wherever practicable. but it is expect
ed when the bill becomes a law it will
carry at least $650OO.OOO.
The first draft of the measure has
been prepared by subcommittee of
the house committee on naval affairs
ard is now under consideration by the
full committee.
Even with the omissions of purchase
OF armor, the first draft of the bill car
ries total of about ses.OO9.OGS
II is the aim of the committee to
bring the total in the bill. including the
appropriations for new ships and ar
NOR plate down to $sO,OOO.OOO, but 1t is
doubtful whether this can be done
Aside from the items under the head of
the increase of the navy for which the
department estimated SECESSION, an in
crease Of more than S12.000.0 .0O0 the
heaviest increases are under the head
of public works. including improve
ments at navy yards and stations new
dry docks and new buildings at the ma
val academy. The departments esti-
mates for public works footed up near
ly sls,OO00OO. an increase of more than
S9OOO,OOO.
The house committee has not yet de-
