reach 1,000000,OOO marks (normally

taken over by the state, the authorities
have experienced difficulty In deciding
what part belonged to the crown and
how much was strictly private.
The difficulty arose in part from the
fact that the appraisers have had to

proved by the convention r. H.
When the conferees met last night there were three
subjects for discusson-the question Of anagamation
or alliance the Of the party amagaton should
be decided upon and the platform

idea OF merely working alliance and argued with
