tee. The morning session was utilized to
permit some OF the party orators to let
off the oratorical energy they have
been storing up and, incidentally. to
talk on the expediency of obeying
Bryan and choking off the fight that
threatened to convulse the convention.
These included Ex-Governor Hogg Of
Texas, Dockery Of Missouri, candidate

Webster Davis. who gave up his snug
berth at Washington to espouse the
Boer cause, was invited to address the
convention, and he fairly electrified the
audience with a brilliant speech, in
which he told why he gave up the first
assistant secretaryship of the interior,
withdrew his allegiance from the Re-
publican party and plunged headlong
into the open arms Of the Democracy.
Davis was given several times an
ovation, and when he shouted: As

PROFESSIONS IN MEXICO.
Changes May Be Made in the Law
Governing Them.

CITY OF MEXICO. May 90.-There is
a strong protest being made against the
provisions of a bill for the regulation of
the exercise of the learned profess ons,
engineering, architecture, etc, here. The
bill was presented in the Chamber of
Deputies by Senior Gerrido, and aims to
restrict the practice of any profession by
men or women who do not possess diplo-
mas from the Mexican schools AS the
examinations would have to be passed in
spanish frequently before boards of nro-
lesslonal men dreading the rivalry of for
eigners, there is loud outcry against it,
american doctors and engineers regard
The bill as directed against themselves,
out there are also here many German and
English doctors and engineers, some of
them very successful, and the Din APP
plies to them as well. In some of the in
terror States the laws provide that the
foreign professional men having their oil
plomas duly certified to by their home
Government and the Mexican Minister or
their professions, paying the usual fees.
With this law the Americans are fully
content, as it is evidently fair.
The daily press denounceS the bill to
restrict the liberty of the press, and calls
for it's rejection. The Government. as
Wen as opposition papers, are unanimous

the liberal tendencies of modern Mexico

If the Meat Bill Becomes a
Law Uncle Sam May
Show His Teeth.

NEW YORK, May 3O.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Germany
may be met with spirited retaliation by
the United States If the meat bill now
pending in the Bundesrath is enacted into
law.
The subject was not discussed at the
meeting of the Cabinet yesterday and a
member of the Cabinet said that no
taliatory measures would be adopted un-
til after the German bill had become a
law and it's provisions had been studied.
In the meantime, however, there may
be Congressional action. President
Springer of the National Live Stock As
sociation said 1t was the intention of
that Association to exert all its infiu-
ence to bring about the speedy enact
ment into law of the bill introduced yes
terday by Representative Bailey of Kan
sas, directing the President to impose and
collect an additional duty of 10 per cent
on all imports from Germany in the
bill
Mr.. Springer said he was confident of
the ability of the National Live Stock
Association to force the passage of this
bill, as it represented all the cattle breed
ers' associations of the country, as well
as all the stockyards and packing-house
interests. The total capital represented

CHICAGO, May 30.-Chicago packers
saw a chance of relief from the restric-
nation cabled last night to Morris Ep
stein, president of the German-American
Provision Company, that the bill will not
go into effect until October 5th. BY that
time it is supposed the German naval
bill will have been passed and the Ger
man opponents of the meat bill will be
better able to work against it and per-
hapS modify some of it's workings.
Packers, who learned that the bill
would not take effect until fall were in
clined to think that the date had beer

was accomplished the cabled information

said that it would have been impossible
