The sesKwi of he internaltmal socialist aad trade union rctBcress were rcs tnod tbls afternoon in EL Martin's town tall , with Chairman Hyadman preeWinp. a hU opening address the c alnaaa tagged delegates to maintain order , prtntteg out that their enemies were deriving cnt4d- eraMe satisfaction from the apparent In- the congress to connect Its busl- was then remmed apon the question of admitting the French socialist taeait > ers of the Chamber f Depwtlrs , Juare . Mllleraud and Vivlanl. It bring claimed by the delegates who objected to their presence that they did not represent the French i > eiEantry. and that they were not properly accredited. The congress , after a great deal of wrang ling. referred the credentials of M. Jaures and his companions to the French delegates. Discussion of the credentials of other delegates who had been objected to was then commenced and continued , amid much Interruption. Many delegates from secret societies of Russia and Poland were ad mitted. The bdmlsslon of these delegates was the signal for another disturbance Kanttky. one of the Polish delegates , was openly denounced as a suspicious character and the peri > on who made the denunciation added that It was well known that Kantsky had been in communication with a notorious police spy. Kantsky fiercely protested his Innocence , Several hot speeches for and a = alnst his admission were made , and the congress , after a very noisy sessisa decided to expel him. JCanltky was bustled out of the hall , vow ing vengeance cgalnrt the man who had de nounced him. and loudly protesting his In nocence of any connection with the Rus sian police It required the whole of the remainder of the sitting 'o decide the claims of the French delegates to seats , those delegates having to ihe meantime developed a differ ence in their own ranks. They were finally admitted , only on terms of division and dis agreement among themselves. The proposa made by M. Milleaud in behalf of the French delegates was to allow them to divide into two sections , as they disagreed upon im portant questions. This immediately precipi lated a tumultuous discussion , and loud shouting ensued among the delegates. Chair- many Hyndman finally suggested that one delegate should speak for and another against the proposaL He then asked that Mllleraud speak , but It was fully another half hour before the French socialist drputj could obtain a hearing. "When he finally succeeded in making himself beard , he fle nonnced the anarchists , and declared that his M-ctlon would withdraw from the con gress if the anarchists were allowed lo lake part in its proceedings. Another tremendous deus uproar on the floor followed , and mu tual re-criminations were hurled back and forth between the different French sections. The chairman -was utterly powerless to con trol the situation or to put a stop to the noise , and the delegates T.ent on yelling and waving Ibeir arms and denouncing each other , -while no one coulda posElbl ; hear whal any one else was , saying , ani tie tenor of the remarks could be Judged only by the fierce gestures and threatening demeanor of the shonters. An American delegate , in the midst of the din , shouted out in a stentorian -voice lha could be heard that the Americans sided with the French minority tnd against the anarchists. This again aroused Ihe French majority , who , however , only imperfectl ; understood Tvhat the American said , and they shouted themselves hoarse in repudlat ingwhat they thought was a charge tha they -were anarchists. The English delegates took so very active part in the disturbance but simply regarded the scene with stupefied dismay. Yfhen the uproar had somewhat subsided the Belgian , Vandeveldt , opposed the division of the Frenchmen , which caused renewed disorder. Itwas only when the delegates were entirety exhausted wlih shouting at the top of their voices that o vote was laker by nationalities on M. MUleraud's proposi tion. It was decided by a vote ol 14 to 5 tc allow the Frenchmen to divide The congress then adjourned after the sit ting had lasted seven hours , cmid constam turbulence and disorder and little compre hension among the participants of whntnas being said or cf the course of business. Three days of the congress have now a.1- -eady been wasted on the consideration ol the credentials of delegates and this bus iness has not yel been finished. As the congress is to adjourn on Saturday. It look as though the closing -Kould come witnoui it having reached any real business at rJl. There was considerable corqment amcni ihe delegales today at the action of the American wction yesterday afternoon In ob Jecttng to the presence of a delegate from the New York Hack Owners' union on ihe ground thai the latter belonged to the mid dle class. Mr. Matlhew Maguire. dtlegtte to the socialist labor party of the United States tnd candidate for the par.y for the office of vice president , was Interviewed en the matter today by a representative of the Assoclaled press. He said : " 1 bead the delegation of myself and four other * oclal- Irts from the United States. We found ! > tre two men who. owing to the English mi.n- agers' Ignorance of their character , obtained delegate tickets. They are members of the New York Hack Owners' association , a co operative society owning hacks , Thrte men are not laborers. Hence our objectian to their presence In the hall as delegates. They wish the congress to adopt a resolution calling upon the Attor House and other New York hotels not to employ their own balks , all of which is absurd , but they ( tb ? hack owners' delegates ) will not ob'aln a hearing.

( Special. ) The ac- tl n of the Norfolk free silver meeting in proposing the name of Judge SamueJ Max well for congressman from the Third con gressional district was somewhat of a sur prise here in spile of the fact that the pop ulists cT several counties had declared for him and considerable interest was shown as to whether he would atrrpt the nomination or net. A representative of The Bee called tt the Judge's residence In Platte township this morning to learn his Intenticns in re gard to the matter To the question whclher he would accept a nomination from the free silver men the Judge replied : "I ccnslicr the action of the meeting merely as a con ference to agree on some particular person" whs would be acceptable to all silver men. ' 1 do not therefore consider this a proper time to say whether Iwould accept the nomination or not. I appreciate Ihe com- pllmtnt. for itwas entirely unsought , " The Judgci further stated thai he had al ways been an advocate of the cause of silver and eonsidered the financial question para- mounl to til others in this campaign.
