WANTS BEST COFFEE.
Member of Congress Advocates Pro-
 ducIna Only Better Grades.

New York, October 20.--At today's session of the coffee congress J. A. Dearanjoe Vasconcellos, one of the delegates from Dominica, read a paper in which he advocated policy of pro- ducing only the best grades of coffee, in order to solve the problem of over production, with an arrangement be- tween nations for the punishment of adulteration and other frauds. He proposed scientific system of ascer- taining quality and an international agreement by which there would be gradation of taxes upon the best grades, and duties made proportion ately heavier and heavier upon the inferior grades.
 The delegation from Porto Rico op- posed the general views of the con gross in speaking against movement to do away with duties on coffee, by saying "To accept in an absolute man. ner the suggestion of the committee to suppress or decrease the customs duties on coffee would be agreeable to me if it were not opposed to the wishes of the people of Porto Rico. If, as Porto Rican and subsequently an American I were to ask that the duties be abolished, I would be put ting myself in opposition to the pro- tectionist policy of the United States"

Galleries of the English House
 of Commons Filled
DESCRIBES TIE SLIGO TRIAL
He Said the Irish Members Feared That Dublin Castle Was Trying to Burst the Sullivan
 Matter Up.

London, October 2o.-The galleries of the house of commons were crowded to- night In anticipation of sensational de- bate on William o.Brlen's motion to ad- journ, the house in order to discuss the case of former Police Sergeant Sullivan, now in America, who Is alleged to have obtained the conviction of innocent per- sons through perjury.
 Describing the Sligo trial as an eye witness. MT. O'Brien declared that more dishonest or revolting trial had never been held. He said the Irish members feared that Dublin castle was trying to hush the Sullivan matter up, but that it was case of greater gravity than that of Sergeant Sullivan because the plot Sullivan had organized against the Irish league was of the same character as the Pigott forgerles against Parnell. Mir. O'Brien charged that the government had packed the jury to acquit Sullivan, and had then spent an enormous sum 10 shelter him from justice.
 The attorney general for Ireland. J. Atkinson, replying to Mr. OBrien, charged that the facts Of the case had been strangely represented, and he taunt- ed MT. . Brien With being too coWardly to bring this case openly in the law courts. MT. O'Brien demanded to know whether the remark of MT. Atkinson was disorderly. The speaker of the house did not take the remark as calling Mir O Brien a coward. but as replying to the course he had taken.
 MT. Wyndham declared that MT. OBrien's charge had been completely disposed of, and he ridiculed the idea that the matter was one Of urgent public importance.
 Mr OBriens motion was then rejected by 215 to IT.
 M. s. Wyndham then explained that 1t was impossible to pass the Irish land purchase bill this session, and said he hoped In the course Of the next session to introduce new bill for voluntary arr engagements between the parties con cerned. He moved the withdrawal of the land purchase bill, which was agreed to.

ELMoRE HAS RESIGNED.
Long Looked for Resignation Arrives
 at Governors Office.

Montgomery. October 20.-tSpecial) ) -B. F. Elmore's resignation as so- licitor of the First circuit was re- ceived at the governors office today. It gives no reason for the step, but expresses the hope that it will be ac- cepted, to take effect at once.
 MT. Elmore had stated that he would not resign unless his partner, Clint Harrison. should be appointed to sue ceed him. It is not suspected that the governor has made any agreement of that sort, and one ofsthe other appli- cants, W. c. McCorvey, from Monroe county, was on the ground bright and early this morning to press his own claims. The presumption from this is that negotiations to get all other ap- plicants out of the way so as to leave Harrison as the only one in the field have failed, and Fillmore concluded to wait no longer.

 While no one can say with certainty where the Schulers will locate their blast furnace and steel mrll, 1t seems to be generally understood that several weeks. probably months, will elapse before a de- cision is announced.

 The resolution committee met tonight and outlined set of resolutions to be presented to the convention tomorrow. Nothing official was given out as to what they will contain. It is probable that they will recommend the acceptance of the arbitration plan, that all grievances be submitted 10 the commission appointed by President Roosevelt; that all men who shall not find immediate employment shall be taken care of by the union until they get positions, and that organized la bor throughout the world and other or- ganizations and individuals be thanked for the assistance given the mine work CTS during their struggle

 opposition to accepting the plan until he and hls colleagues had some assurance that they would be re-instated in their old positions. The companies have said, he continued, that they will not dismiss the men now employed by them and place strikers in their places. A number of other delegates spoke along the same lines, and then more confusion resulted over the presence of persons who were not delegates. One delegate took the ground that many of those in the hall were strangers. We do not known whether Baer. Olphant or John Marlxlc is in the hall ready to vote on the propo- sition to come before the mem and moved the convention to adjourn. After some speech making President Mitchell again strengthened out matters by re. questing all those excepting newspaper men who did not have credentials to leave the hall. About half of those pres- ent retired.

Mitchell Again Responds.

eWe have not adopted their proposition as they made 1t, and the proposition would never, with my consent, have been adopted, as they made it. When the coal companies thought to practically name the arbitrators we objected, and secured a modification of their proposal. That modification enabled the President to se- lecr men outside of the classes suggested by the operators. Organized labor is rep resented on the commission. I do not, however assume that either the capital- ists. or the trade unionists who are on the commission will permit their special interests to influence their judgment in making their decision, but organized la bor is on that commission, and 1t Is there because the President of the Uni ted States wanted it there, and because we would not agree to the proposition un- less it was there.
 Then the delegates took up the debates Many of them spoke with great earnest ness. Three were willing to return to work and trust to the union to do justice to them. Another was willing to leave the whole matter In the hands of President Roosevelts commission, and another said If I can't get my job 1 can look for an- other one, therefore let us go to work and give the American people some coal. !"
 The sentiment of the last speaker was loudly applauded.
