In the secret session OF the senate to-
day the discussion was mainly on the
question as to whether discussion of the
Mason motion should be in open or secret
session Chairman Davis. OF the foreign
relations committee. said that the public
discussion OF the subject in the senate
might result in disturbing existing rela-
tions between the United States and a
friendly power. He thought. therefore,
that anything of the kind would much
better be avoided.

WASHINGTON. March s.-Representa-

Mason Wants an Open session.

Mason said there was no reason why
this motion should not be discussed open
ly, unless some one wanted TO conceal
something. The resolutions OF sympathy
for the Armenians and the cuhans had
been discussed day after day in open
session. and no one feared that existing
friendly relations would be disturbed. Ma
son quoted from a speech of Senator
Frye on the Armenian resolution IN which
the Maine senator took occasion to eriti-
else Great Britain very severely. This. ne
said, did nat disturb relations with that
sOuutry.

John Carlisle urged that he withdraw.
Mr.. Danforths position was rather Gu
rious one. He claimed that he could get
the votes of Virginia, Florida and Ala
bama and that there was a possibility of
securing the votes of New York He
was told that Mr.. Keller had the votes
OF New York, Louisiana and California,
with prospect of more, and that a de-
feat was liable to place him In a bad
position.
1t was urged on the part of the friends
OF Gov. Hill that the defeat of Mr.. Dam
forth would be credited as another de-
feat of Mr.. Hill. Mr.. Danforth's friends
In the conference held just to the con-
trary. They claimed that If Mr.. DAN
forth received more votes than Mr.. KEEL
Ter it would demonstrate Mr.. Hilrs DOM
ination over Mr.. Croker. Mr.. Hill was
urged to take up Mr.. Danforth's case,
but up to the hour of midnight he had
not determined to do so. In fact, when
approached individually by the Asso-
ciated Press he said that he believed Mr..
Stevenson would be the nominee of the
convention. 1t is a fact that Mr. Steven
son is the candidate of the conservative
element represented by Mr.. Hill.
1t is the belief of many tonight that
Mr.. DanfoTth will not be a candidate,
and that Mr.. Stevenson may be the con-
servatives' nominee. 1t is further be-
deved that Mr. Towne will be the radical
silver favorite, but 1t is generally con-
ceded that Mr.. Stevenson will come near
getting the majority of the votes.

nUMOR OF LIFE in THE CONVENTION CITY

only in his passionate cravats and waist
coats, but in the general upholstering of
his anatomy. At a recent fashionable
event he appeared In evening clothes of
vivid green. 1t is understood that Bath
House has brought this sartorial wonder
with him, and, of course. Kansas City is
wrought up to q feverish pitch or curl
osity.
"A word to the wise is sufficient, and 1t
must be remembered that the reputation
Of Kansas City for hospitality Is on trial
this week"
At some time In his life almost every
man seems to have been at least a tenn
porary sojourner in Kansas City. Many
of the delegates and visitors now swell
ing the crowds at the hotels once wrote
kansas City after their names on hotel
registers. Some of them have gone to
look at the localities and places which
were famous in the good old boom times,
but they find that most of the glory has
departed 1t is said to be no longer
dangerous If still exciting, to pass along
the war-scarred battlements of historic
Battle Row. and so many of the clay
bluffs have been tipped over into the
adjacent gullies that the topography or

former self. In the early eighties the
station, then, as now. an enormous barn
like building was filed continually with
hordes of immigrants passing through
what Kansas City people perhaps right
fully called 1.-THE gateway of the great
West"
BY way of giving to these strangers
a welcome to a strange land,the buildings
across the street from the station were
g.,
second hand clothing stores and the Of
fees of leud-voiced men who sold cut
rate tickets over the westward lines. The
whole front Of the street for blocks was
pIastered like the front OF a circus side
show with glaring signs in all known
colors
The signs are still in place. but the
h.g station building Is no longer always
full of possible customers, and tho sad
eyed proprietors sit like spiders in the
front Of their webs waiting for the flies
which do not come.
The helpful spirit Of the hospitable
West is everywhere in evidence Other
cities have their real estate and cloth
ing dealers who sell their goods on easy
payments, but Kansas City has at least
one man who goes much further In MS
desire to help his fellowmen. In all the
street cars appear large cards asking him
who reads to pick out any horse, COW
or other domestic animal which suits his
fancy and then hurry to the advertiser,
who will purchase the animal for him
and take his pay on the monthly Install
ment plan.
In order to emphasize the advantages
Of his offer the enterprising advertiser
states that any man who Is good Judge
of live stock can select cow on the
installment plan, half of the milk Of
which will pay for it in six months time.
Thus it will be seen that In the course
of a couple of years the ambitious Kan
sas City youth may become the prop
rietor Of a thriving dairy farm without
the expenditure of cent.

The friends of Mr.. Towne still contend

three parties, naturally gives him the
commanding position in the race
Senator Hill had many conferences in
his rooms during the evening. A delega-
ton from Illinois called on him at Ii

When the Tammany delegation ar
rived the first Chicagoan they asked
for was Sol Van Praag. They could
not remember his name, but their inquiry
was: where is the man who touched
Dick Croker for fifty?' They all seem
ed to have a high opinion of Mr.. Van
Praags financial ability growing out of
this little incident and were anxious
to get acquainted with him. Their sor-

however, did not seem interested in the

A group of New York men was In front
of a hotel bar. The man behind was

"High rollers? They look square cut to
me. l don't think they could roll If a
regiment was pushing them. The trst

seltzer lemonade, and that bunch has
been drinking the same ever since. An

TANKS EXPLODE.
Two tanks exploded tonight shortly
after 10 o'clock. Tank No. Is. which had
caught fire earlier, was getting so hot
mat 1t was feared 1t would explode at
almost any moment. The top OF the
tank flew high into the air and the flames
plazed all over the top. In order to save
this and prevent further calamity an ON
ploye of the yard volunteered to attach
pipe to the tank In order to draw the
hot Oil of.
Flames were trickllng down the side
or the big receptacle. but nevertheless
the pipe filter placed q ladder against
the side of the tank and climbed I'D TO
the top round. With the intense heat
clustering his face and hands and small
streaks of flame dropping all about him
he bored hole in the side of the tank
and into this inserted the pipe. In tkis
way the employees drew off a lot of the
hot oil and prevented this tank from
blowing up.

night Will probably Increase the loss by
