Much important Work.

Vienna, January 24.-The lower house
of the Reichsrath met today. In the
course of his speech Premier Gaultch
said he had reason to believe the house,

and would fulfill the expectations OF the
state and citizens. The most difficult
problem before them, he said, would be
reaching an understanding between the
German and Czech races
The government would endeavor to Sc
cure the good will and cooperation or
representatives of both, but 1t was equally
determined to maintain Its authority and
public order. Premier Gaultch promised
that the government would do its utmost
to promote commerce with other nations,
and at the same time develop industry
and az ,lculture. he concluded with an
appeal to the house to inaugurate the
session by orderly and peaceful activity

Address Made at Night Session.
At its night session the convention listen
ed for an hour to frequently applauded
address by President A. Brittin of
the New Orleans cotton exchange. Mr..
Brittin denied that low prices were in
any sense due to future sales. Low prices
were due to one cause. and one cause
only, that of over production. With the
removal of that cause values would go up
with a bound, regardless of all the future
sales of Europe Africa or America. Let
the acreage be reduced 25 per cent. and
all the spectators on earth cannot keep
cotton from going to ten cents.
Speaking of the growing consumption of
cotton, Mr.. Brittin said II this years crop
was kept within 100000 bales in three
to five years the world would require a
crop of 13,0J00 900 bales and more. Referring
to the Importance of the present conven-
ton, he said that any resolutions 1t might
pass would amount to little If they were
not followed up with earnest. sincere and
determined work. In the solution of the
problem confronting 1t. the most serious
since the civil war. he said the convention
had the best wishes of the great exchange
which he had the honor to represent.
After naming vice presidents and COM
mittees the convention adjourned to meet
