are assembled in this city and every
train is bringing additional delegates.

convention of the National Board of
Trade, which begins it's sessions here
today. The convention will open with
an informal reception and meeting this

number of important matters which
will come up for consideration in the

ton concerning the government con-
troll of railroad rates Numerous reso-
buttons On the subject of railroad rate
control in accordance with the sug-
gestions of the committee on interstate
commerce have been introduced and
will be discussed in the convention.
One Of the strongest is by the New

that it would be detrimental to the
commercial interests of the country to
invest any government commission
with the power to make the rates, and
strongly recommends other legislation
to correct the evils of rate discrimin-

which rather favor government control
railroad rates.
Boston, New York, Pittsburg, Scran-
ton and Washington have offered res
olutions on the subject Of ship sub
sides and development of our mer-
chant marine. All favor some measure
or measures that would have a tend
ency to encourage the development of
our merchant marine, although some of
the resolutions do not expressly advo-
cate the payment of subsidies. All of
them point out the great Importance
of an increase of American shipping,
for the commercial development of the
country.
Other resolutions which will come
up for discussion refer to the consular
service, postal affairs, the federal con-
troll of interstate insurance, tariff and
reciprocity, river and harbor improve
ments, international arbitration, ma
tional currency, territorial possessions
the adjustment of the tax on alcohol
for industrial purposes, changes in the
national bankruptcy laws and other
subjects of equal Importance.

upon which occasion Mr.. Carleton was
expecting a friend to breakfast with

these letters bore postmarks Of diff

sioner, had not been satisfactorily ex-
planned He was also impressed by
the testimony of Mr.. and Mrs. F. S.
Hargrave concerning the letters 1Ounu
by Hargrave in the woOdshed formerly
used by Randall. The defense strong
