LONDON. July . 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. " _

NEW YORK. July . The prrphery that
Chairman Hanna -would Ignore New York j
politicians in the preliminary organization j
of the campaign work for Major McKinley
proved false today , for Frederick S. Glbbs
of the New York organization and the na
tional republican commute eman from this
state was one of a few favored guest * at
a meeting of the easte-rn managers today.
Whether Mr. Hatina looked upon Mr. Gibbs
as a personal re-prci-entatlve of Mr. Platt or
not , tbe facl Is patent that Mr. Glbbs does j
represent that faction of the republican
party in New York , and as Mr. Hanna said :
"Mr. Platt was not Invited to the meeting
stoply because he is not a member of Ibe
committee. Mr , Glbbs , the New York state
national committee man. wcs Invited by mete
to attend so thai he may be kepi in loucb
with the plans thai may be formulated.
Mr. Gibbs is New York's ntllonal commlt
teeman , and is responsible in a large tntts-
ure. by virtue of his position , fcr the result
In tils stale. " Mr. Hanna added : " 1
feel confident that tbe republican party In
New York sttte will work harmoniously tor
McKinley's election. "
The gentlemen Invited to meel Mr. Htnna
mel at his hotel and found his quarters too
cramped and adjourned to the netr national

night said : "We selected Mr. Rodgers to

all ibti was done. "
To all other Inquiries his reply WES , "I

we may require of him. * *
Mr. Hanna ssld today ; "Tbe
financial and lariff questions cannel ,
hi my judgment , be divorced. Our financial
depression or prospcriiy is dt/e In tie great
est measure to our tariff conditions. Mr.
McKinley shares this vjevr wiih me "
In carrying oul this -view Mr. Haunt will
suggest that the tariff leagues prosecute the
fight vigorously on their own lines and
thai Ihose Interested In the financial ques
tion do similar work , the national committee
giving assistance. It is planned that an
immense amount of literature will be is-
tributcd.
Senator Quay was In conruittticn wlih Mr.

Etld : "I have told Mr. Hanca that I In

FREMONT. July IS. ( 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.

After the county convention had closed
