what questions We're to be considered.
The conference broke up at II
O'Clock. Those who attended it were
vrey loath to divulge any feature of it
but one Of the participants stated that
the members OF the House present had
taken dinner with the President and

ANOTHER TOBACCO FAILURE.
crump Bros. of Chicago Follow Suffer
Bros Example.

Chicago, Nov. 1O.-Another large leaf
tobacco house, that of Crump Bros,
was forced into bankruptcy court, to-
day. The firm had large trade in leaf
tobacco for 10 years and it's failure,
like that of Suffer Bros, yesterday
caused surprise among business men.
The concerns Of Suffer Bros. and
Crump Bros. We're intimately connect
ed in business dealings and the failure
of the former injured the credit of the
latter to such an extent that it was
deemed advisable to turn the property
over to the care of the United States
district court so that all creditors
might be treated alike. The liabilities
of the firm are estimated at $225,00O
and the assets at $150,000. though the
latter are said to be worth nominally
more than the debts.
