POPULAR CHOICE OF SENATORS.
Resolutions In Favor OF II Have Already
been Received From Six States.

WASHINGTON, Jan. s.-Much interest has
been aroused In Congress by the publication
OF the fact that joint resolutions have been
received from six States declaring in favor
OF a national convention to france an amend
ment to the Constitution for submission II
the States providing for the election Of
United States Senators by direct vote Of
the people. Several Senators and Repre-
sentatives who have had their attention
called to the subject feel certain that theta
Ia a concerted movement on foot to force
Congress, through a declaration OF tho
necessary two-thirds Of the States. TO pro-
vide for the holding OF such a convention.
Senator Burrows. the chairman Of the
Committee on Privileges and Elections, IS
the most persistent and outspoken advo-
cate In either house of Congress of the
proposition to elect Senators by popular
vote. He said to-day that he was not aware
that there was my concerted cotton to
induce the States TO memorializs Congress
In behalf OF a national convention although
his own State (Mlchigan) Is one OF those
from which Join resolutions have already
bsen received. Mr.. Burrows thinks there
IA no hope OF inducing Congress TO sub nit
to the people the amendment for the desired
change In the method Of electing Senators.
and says that even his W committee has
been r~eorganlzed in opposition TO the pro-
posed plan. The only hope Of success,
therefore, Mr.. Burrows thinks, lies in action
by the States, and he for one Il willing TO
take the risk Of a national convention If this
Il necessary to accomplish an object so dear
to the hearts Of the American people. If
Congress will not listen to their appeals
the Senator thinks that the States will be
entirely justified in demanding that a con-
vention be held.
While the sentiment in Congress In oppo-
sitlon 20 the holding OF n national conven-
ton Is overwhelming there is no denying
the fact thai under the Constitution n con-
vention must be called, If, for whatever
purpose, two-thirds OF the States demand
II, and this they seem to be doing at a rapid
rata

DECLINES VERY LIGHT
MERCHANTS HOPEFUL OF BUSY
MARKET AND GOOD PRICES.
Little Cause for Complimentary and
Corn Take on a Firmer and
Better Tone.

Conditions prevailing cause the merchants
in all lines to be very hopeful of the
future, and a good season is predicted.
Sales thus far in most lines the present
month have been very satisfactory. lit
tie complaint Is still heard on Commission
row, but this line of business is overdone,
and still new commission houses are OPEN
ing. With retail merchants a spirit of con-
servatism is still in evidence, but travelling
statesmen who most associate with the re-
tail merchants are confident of good fall
busness-no boom, but a good average ac-
tivity. The price situation shows more
settled state than was predicted at the be-
ginning of the season. There are some ar
ticles on which prices are no higher than
they were last season, but this is not the
general rule. Fortunately the low-priced
articles such as come into daily con-
sumption, such as -four, sugars, fruits and
vegetables, prices of these articles being
in reach of the poorest people, or at least
as low as in any former period. In prices
yesterday there were no important changes,
poultry, eggs and choice butter being ar
ticles that carried firm tone. In fruits
and vegetables there were further declines,
but very light. All lines Of trade are doing
more business than in September last year,
and as the month advances Il bids fair to
increase.

ALASKA CALLS FOR help
THE BOARD OF TRADE ASKED TO
GIVE 1T MORAL SUPPORT.
Delegates Will BE Sent. on Passes,
COnventiOn-Other Matters.

Alaskan politics is rather out of the line
voted a considerable measure of it's time
last night to that species of business. Sec
rotary Smith read a long communication
from the Skagway Chamber of Commerce,
appealing to the Indianapolis business men
to help Alaska get all the political rights
and privileges to which the territory is en-
titled The Alaskans want among other
things representa- ton in Congress, appro-
priations for better public roads and lines
of railway. A resolution was attached to
the letter, containing a blank line for the
signature Of the board. The gist of the
resolution was a boost of the request of
the Alaskans.
~ move you," said r. o. Hawkins to
President Appel, that the resolution be
adopted. and Alaska was one more step
toward getting the things it wants.
The board decided to send delegates to
the Grain Dealers National Association,
which meets in Peoria, ILL.,, Oct. 1, and 8.
There was some discussion as to whether
the delegates should represent the board
as a body or whether they should
go as representatives of the grain
men on the board. 1t was finally
decided that they should represent the
board and that their expenses should be
paid by the organization. Two delegates
and grain inspector will be appointed by
the president.
1T seems to me-" said /. S. Gordon, that
the railroads should help out a little bit in
this matter. In other cities whenever there
are delegates to send any place they always
go with their pockets full of passes and
ne loked at Sam q. Sweet
II move" said William Scott, that the
delegates go on passes" and there was a
general laugh.
"Of course / do not speak with author
ity," said the general freight agent of the
Lake Erie & Western, but l do not think
these delegates will have to pay any fare.
Secretary Smith then read to the board
a letter from the National Board of Trade,
asking that a subscription be forwarded TO
help pay the salary and expenses of COM
missioner appointed for the purpose OF
working UP new members of the national
organization
II can't see where we have. ever got any
good out of the National Board of Trade, "
said William Scott. They ought to be
satisfied to get our $50 worth of dues since
they do not do anything for US l move
that the communication be laid on the
table. under it. If the board prefers
for two years." remarked President Appel
into words On the table IL goes.
The membership committee reported to
the board the deaths OF William II
Smythe, Simeon b. Carey and William Will
kins. and the usual assessments were or
dered.
