Holding Meetings in Trenton.

TRENTON, n. j., october LIN con-
trast with former years the republican

ernor a member Of the convention Of his

sists of seventy-four members. The
only thing that will be done at either

Dental electors. Both platforms are ex-
pected to deal almost exclusively with
state matters.

Packers Want Honest Can.

The packers at the conference today
told the government officials, also, that
they are in want of an honest can. so
that the honest packer shall have pro-
lection against the dishonest packer, who
desires to fill his oyster can with more
or less water. This protection sought by
honest packers, it was agreed at today S
meeting will come about, to consider
able extent. with the adoption Of a set
of standard sizes of cans.
Some of the cans now used for pack
ing oysters are four inches nigh, some OF
them four and a quarter inches and some
of them are of other sizes. 1t is to do
away with these differences that the
'.gentleman's agreement, made today,
was formed. and it was stated that 1t
will also greatly benefit can manufac-
turers all over the country. who Will
hereafter be able to use certain set sizes
of machines for making cans, rather than
a variety of sizes, and in other ways bring
about economy in manufacturing.

river oysters. as they We're engaged to-
day only upon the subject of the con-
tainer in which oysters are packed. There

however, and the packers were quick to
say that the disagreement could not af-
fact their industry. inasmuch as the can
ming process renders oysters sterilized.

packed oysters are subjected, thereby
