TOO MUCH FEsTIvITY.
And Governors Have Done Less Business
Than Expected.

Louisville, Ky. Dec, 2. Some OF the
governors attending the third annual
conference here left to-day with care
fully prepared discourses on intricate
subjects tucked away for future refer
ence. The social feature OF the con
ference has been paramount and has TAX
en- so much time that little business has
been transacted.
AT the session yesterday morning gem
eral discussion of Governor Hadley adj
dress was taken up. He spoke on En-
ployers Liability and Workmen's Com
pensation." The conceusus OF opinion
In the discussion yesterday morning
seemed TO be that the laws on these
subjects were inadequate and that the
states should carefully revise them The
appalling death rate on railroads and
ii mines Of this country was compared
with the lower rate in European coun'
tries in discussing the vast difference in
laws of foreign nations and America re-
parding the liability Of employers.
Though not a member of the confer
ence, one Of the interesting figures az
this meeting is Gamaliel Bradford Of
Boston. who was accorded the honor Of
addressing the body and who made a
speech advocating more power for the
chief executives and curbing Of legisla-
lures. He came from Boston on his own
initiative to preach a doctrine which he
thinks win materially aid the states and
crystallize the movement for yearly

benefits TO the people.

COULDN'T SELL IT THERE.
But Doctor Cook Easily Disposed Of His
Story in America.

New York, Dec DIR Frederick A.
Cook, who now confesses that he does
not know whether he reached the north
pole or not, had an easy task in dispos-
ing Of what he describes as "the story
OF Cooks trip TO the North pole accord

London.

living in seclusion in an obscure board

He has written a story, which he hopes
viii restore him to a degree Of favor in
this country.
1t appears that for weeks DIR. Cook,
eager to reurn to his home in Brooklyn,
sought through literary bureau to sell
his latest story to London magazine
publishers
One thousand dollars, it was said, was
asked for the story, which the London
editors declined to accept Cook, in his
story which is soon to appear in this
country, asserts that, half erazed with
hunger, he believed he had reached the
top Of the world.

London, Dec 2-The ultimate effect
of the opposition's attempt to unload
the tariff reform issue for the purposes
Of the present campaign is still in doubt.
While the Unionists were greatly en-
couraged by Mr. Balfour's sudden and
surprising announcement that he would
not object to the submission OF the ques-
tion to a referendum, the leaders bold
stroke has far from dsheartened the
Liberals, who find therein good ammuni-
ton and are accusing their opponents
of changing their policy daily in des-
perate effort to catch votes and so Sc
cure power at any cost. Moreover, the
ardent tariff reformers, who Wednesday
congratulated Mr. Balfour on his skill
full manmuvring, were not so ready yes
terday to indorse his pledge. Speaking
at Manchester Andrew Bonar Law, I'm
ionist member for Dulwich division Of
Camberwell. refused ito eat his words,
adding that if the Unionists obtained
an adequate majority at the polls they
would be bound TO enact tariff reform
measure.
The first members returned to the new

constituencies nominations viii be made
