Convention Han. Denver, Colo, July
Sat a meeting of the credential
committee this morning it was decided
to seat the Dubois crowd entire, by a
vote of 90 to 20. Dubois was working
until the wee sma' hours" this morn
ing in an effort 10 have an anti
polygamy and anti-church and state
plank in the resolutions. King, Pow
ers, and the entire Utah delegation,
are working like Trojans to prevent
this. Pettigrew, the warm personal
friend and senatorial associate of Du-
bols, is a member of the sub-comnJt-
lee on resolutions. which may argue
another Dubois victory. but the pres
ence of number of conservative men
on that subcommittee, together with
Mr.. Bryans supposed wishes win
probably checkmate Dubois plans in
'this respect.

This Waters collection is the~ last
great assemblage in existence of OBJ

1t was gathered for 40 years and con-
ssts of 1000 rare specimens. MI. Waters
who assembled the collection had given
a special study to the chronological de-
velopment OF the Fiiian arts and crafts,
and the collection was therefore cspeci-
ally adapted for educational purposes,
Negotiations were opened with HIM
several months ago and the agent on
the American museum paid him de-
post and thereby gained an option
which was to have expired on June 80,
Meanwhile the fact that the sale has
been so nearly made came to the no
tice of the British governor OF the Is
lands and to the council. new law
was drafted providing that no such
collections should ia future be sent out
of the islands without the consent If
the authorities and Mr. Waters was no
tilted that in the event of the American
museum failing to respond with the
purchase price on June 30 he was cS-
pected to turn over the collection to the
British authorities at the same figure.
The dispatch providing for the balance
of the purchase money was sent on last
Tuesday week and owing To- 10 hours
advantage in time, arrived within the
stipulated time.
The collection win he shipped nom
