made for the appointment of a com
mittee to carefully consider the entire -
tire subject and report at the next

ous speech against a permanent sys
tem of asset currency , though he ap
proved the idea of an emergency cur
rency. Mr. Frame's effort to got the
convention to go on record against the
proposition failed , as his resolution
was sent back to the executive council.

ment for keeping prices down being
that such action would bo giving com
petitors who were not members of the

ing the pressure of water was insuf
ficient to ' permit of reaching tha
flames and the chateau soon became
