The majority of thp crowd were at the opposite end of the street from which M. Guerln and his companions .were driven away and the first intimation these sight * beers had that Fort Chabrol had surrendered was the withdrawal of the troops and the guards. The exclamation was heard on all sides : "Why , they have surrendered like sheep. What a fiasco , " and the crowd , cheated out of the anticipated storming of the fort by flro and water , dispersed , laughing at the expense of the government , which had taken six weeks to accomplish what with a little determination might have been done the first day , and exchanging sarcastic comment on the chicken-hearted conduct of M. Guerln and his garrison , who , they had fondly hoped , would make a spir ited resistance. DIU2YFUS * ICXUMIKS NOW SUFFEH. DlmulRMll of the Old Cleric of the Court of CiiNNiitloii. PARIS. Sept. 20.

SPICED BY POLITICAL TILTS Speakers of Opposite ) Parties Enliven St. Lonla Trust Conference. GOVERNOR SHAW TAKES UP GAUNTLET Chief HtPCiHIvr Annncrn ( Sov- ernor Stephen * ' I'lirtlnnti FlIiiK t tlic IteinibllL'ntintloiinl AdtnlnlNlrntlon. ST. 'LOUIS ' , Sept. 20. The governorsof Arkansas , Tennessee , Michigan , Missouri , Colorado and Iowa , most of them accom panied by their attorney generals , and the attorney generals and other representatives of Montana , Indiana , Mississippi and Wash ington , responded to the Invitation of Gov ernor J. 1) . Sayers of Texas to meet in con ference for the purpose of discussing the trust question , and assembled today at the Planters' hotel , where thrco sessions were held. The conference will bo concluded to morrow morning , when the committee on resolutions will bo ready to report. Governor Sayers was present with his at torney general and wna chosen permansnt chairman of the conference. Governors Mc- Lmirln of Mississippi , Foster of Louisiana and Candlor of Georgia sent regrets. Most of the day was spent In speechmaking - ing and almost everyone of these present was afforded an opportunity to air his views' on the question under discussion. All the. speakers -were listened to with great atten tion. There were several tilts between speakers of opposite political faith that gave splco to the proceedings. 'At ' the morning sessslon Governor Steph ens o-f Missouri delivered himself of a parti san fling at the republican national admin istration , criticising Its expansion policy and declaring that trusts and > imperialism go hand in hand. Governor Shaw of Iowa took up the gaunt let thrown down by Stephens and at the opening of the afternoon sessslon answered him 'with a speech that brought smiles to the faces of moat of those present. In turn the governor of Arkansas put Iowa's chief executive on the spit and roasted him for using facetious language at such a gathering. Taylor Given Stephens a Hup. Attorney General Taylor of Indiana also took occasion to rap the knuckles of Mis souri's governor. There seemed to be a great difference of opinion as to the best method of remedying the so-called trust evil. Some of these present thought that the state laws now in vogue were sufficient to control the operations of the combinations com plained of , while others were , of the opin ion that uniform laws should bo enacted by the several states and by congress. Some were lor the complete annihilation of trusts whllo others favored .their regulation. Governors Sayera and Plngrco In the speeches delivered today showed themselves strongly in .favor of the first idea , as was also Governor Jones of Arkansas. Governors Thomas of Colorado and Shaw of Iowa favored the enactment of laws to restrict the combines. There was almost as much difference of opinion among the attor ney generals who were , heard. Governors Shaw of Iowa and Thomas of Colorado and Attorney General Taylor of In diana left for home tonight. The committee on resolutions held a ses sion far into the night. Promptly at 11 o'clock Attorney General Crow of Missouri called the conference 'to order In the women's ordlnany pf tb.9 Planters'.hotel. Ho nado a shortaddress , welcoming those present to Missouri.

Governor Lcn V. Stephens of Missouri made a motion that Governor J. D. Sayera of Texas be elected permanent chairman , and he was unan imously chosen. Governor Sayers was greeted withhearty applause when bo assumed the chair. Ho read a somewhat lengthy address , setting forth his views on the question of trusts , which was frequently applauded. Siirera' Aililre n. Governor Sayers said : "At the very threshold of the proceedings , upon which wo are about to enter , It will not bo Improper to briefly state the reasons that Induced mo to suggest this confer ence. No motlvo prompted my action other than the deslro to Induce , it posslbTe , con cert of action among such governors "and attorneys general of all the states as might attend In an effort to suppress an evil which has become gigantic In proportions and which , In the opinion of a very largo num ber of good and patriotic citizens of the To- public , threatens the most serious and dis astrous consequences to the country. "It Is true that , in some sections , money is plentiful , trade active , speculation rife and that certain products have largely and rapidly Increased In selling value. This prosperity , however , is born In a great measure of war and Is largely attributable to the enormous expenditures that have been and are now being , made by the gen eral government for special purposes and in particular localities , and so long as war shall continue this unusual activity will be maintained , Considering the situation con servatively , Impartially and with the as sistance of an Intelligent experience , it can not bo reasonably expected that the present prosperity will long survive the settlement a ! our foreign difficulties and the restora tion of peace. "Next to the war Itself and to the Inci dents directly connected with it , the won derful revolution that has occurred In bus- Incus life is calculated to arouse the gravest anxiety In all thoughtful minds. For the last quarter of a century wo have heard much of trust formation and notes of alarm have been sounded ngaln and again to warn the people of the danger that threatened them in that direction. But during the last two years that which was previously but a shadow on the horizon has become a dark and portentous cloud , and on overs'do and from every quarter are heard warnings of imminent danger that should no longer pa&a unheeded. " Thespeaker quoted from a writer who. numerated gome of the largest l.rusts in order to Illustrate the gravity of tbo situa tion in this rrepoct , and then \\cnt on to say ; "These aggregations of capital In such extraordinary and unprecedented amounts , controlling as they do the production , dis tribution and sale of commodities in uiiV versal UEO , all under the management and direction of a few perrons , cannot but ex- clto the gravest apprehensions In the mind of every thoughtful and patriotic citizen , The power which guch associations can and do exert docs not accord with the spirit and policy of free Institutions. The possession of extensive authority , eupplemcnted with the means of Its arbitrary and unrestrained excrclso , Is always denied In every just and well regulated government. The principal holds equally good In matters affecting In dustrial and economic life , where govern ment has conceded privileges to one or few Individuals that are not enjoyed by all. "Every combination and association of any magnitude In thU country under the name or gulso of a trust , almost without exception , owes ita existence to a govern mental grant of privilege , exemption and power. In this form of business activity the Individual ehleldu himself under the protecting advantage and immunity of a corporate cxjstonce , created by statute. Were It not so , trust formations would be fewer In number , smaller in magnitude and less dangerous to society. "The f&ct that tbo trust almost univer sally owes its very life to the creative power of public authority makes it the Im perative duty of government to protect the people against any abuse or misuse of If opportunities to the detriment of the general welfare. This Is , In my opinion , a complete answer to any objection that might be urged against governmental Interference to restrain - strain and , If needs bo , to entirely destroy the Irusl power wh6novor It shall become hurtful or perilous. " Governor Sayers declared that In none of Iho generally noceptod authorities upon finance , commerce or mechanic and agricult ural Industry can there bo found a rational dcfcnao of tiho 'system that has so sud denly and so firmly fixed Its Iron grasp upon the matorlaJ lirlciWs of the country. The gravity of the situation , the speaker de clared , could not be overestimated , nor per * milted to pass unchallenged by those charged with Important and responsible pub lic duties. It was not the tlmo for evasion , nor -was it a subject worthy only of dls cttssldn. Action , careful , thoughtful and courageous action wns the hour's greatest need. "Constitutional obstacles Ho in the \\ay and the evil cannot bo eradicated by cither fedora ! or state authority acting singly , " the governor continued , "There must bo co operation bolwwn both governments , general and local , each working earnestly and sincerely within its sphere. " In the speaker's opinion both govern ments may bo rightfully hold responsible for the existence of the trust and the sub ject was Indisputably within the domain of federal legislation. StunliuiiN' OfTciiMlvc Speech. Governor Stephens then caused somewhat ot'a sensation among the republican state offlclaln present byrdonounolng the national administration and Uswar policy and declar ing that trusts and Imperialism so hand In hand. hand.When When the anti-trust conference resumed Its sitting at 3 o'clock the crowd that was In attendance in the morning was undtmln- ished. Governor McMlllln , chairman of the committee on resolutions , reported that the committee had only met to organize and was not yet ready to report. There being no business before tlje conference speeches wore called for. Governor. C. g , Thomas of Colorado wae the first to respond. Ho prefaced his re marks by saying emphatically that he did not agrco with the expressions voiced by Governors Stephens and Sayers at the morn ing session and then launched out on a dis cussion of the trust proposition. Governor Leslie Shaw of Iowa then took the floor and , as it seemed to many , faceti ously derided the remarks of Governor Stephens at the morning session. Before delving Into his subject ho paused and made a motion that the governors of Missouri , Tennessee and Texas bo appointed to draft and formulate a bill such as , In their opin ion , may safely and advantageously bo passed by the legislatures of the several states and which will , In their opinion , as far as possible , remedy the evil eo universally acknowledged. The motion was tabled. Governor Shaw said In part : "I regret that the call for this conference did not include all that Is In the mind of him who Issued it. It was evidently the purpose to make it not only an anti-trust conference , but an anti-expansion and free trade and free silver convention. I say 'evi dently the purpose1 from the tone of the re marks of the chairman and from the speech of the governor of Missouri. Had this been done it Is quite possible a larger attendance would have been secured , for certainly It would have then' embracftd subjects upon which there are greater differences of opin ion than upon thij question of trusts alone. "I was Interestcd an'd diverted 'by the ad dress from the governor of Missouri. .Inter . ested , for he stated that his state had tri umphantly exterminated the octopus , I was diverted as hekl01tlof ! the downfall of Rome , from ovlls siiclrfastnow confront us.

"I prefer a formulated bill , such as I may safely eubmlt to the general assembly of my states , rather than resolutions. I think I am politician enough to draft a set of resolu tions eo drastic that If heeded all trusts and combinations would Immediately take their departure from the commonwealth of which I have the honor to bo chief execu tive ; but I am not so confident that I am statesman enough to draft a bill which will compel their everlasting exit providing they are determined to stay. If the committee , when appointed , shall draft a bill Which seems to me comprehensive and effective , I will very gladly recommend It so , for I de slro hero and now to say that I have no sympathy with any combination of capital which results In monopoly. "I deairo that the governor of Missouri shall cervo upon this committee , for the reason .that he reports the statute of his state adequate to meet the demands of the hour ; and I hope , If he shall consider It essential to this end , that ho Incorporate the law recently approved by him , which , If I may trust the verbal testimony of citizens of his state , permitted the competing lines of railway In this city to combine. And I de slro that the governor of Tennessee may servo 'upon this committee , for , In private conversation ho advised me , with evident prldo I thought , that very extensive deposits of phosphate had been discovered In his elate , from which great fortunes are now belni ; made , and ho reported Uiat many of the producers of phosphate had been thereby driven from the market. I deairo him to in corporate in the bill , If bo ehall deem It ad- vUable , such provisions as will prohibit capi talists of Tennessee from monopolizing the phosphate business , "It will bo necessary to draft the pro- r > t td bill with greal accuracy ; and llko Iho Kentucky hunter , eo aim It as 'to ' bit It it it bo 'a deer and miss It if It bea calf , 4"Tho remedy suggested by implication In the two speeches of the forenoon session that bf the reptul of all tariff provisions and through the free coinage of silver would , in my opinion , effectually break the back of every trust In tbo United States. It would accomplish this much In Ihe same way that a fire in a great field temporarily deatpjys. Canada thluLlps ; but ' I have learned from observation that those 'pests wjj | spring up again so soon as conditions are favorable to the growth of another crop of wheat , I had' hoped tliat this conference would evolve gome method of effectually dealing with the evil without resorting to pralrio flro eo EOOII upon the elimination of the last. "It a 1)111 shall bo formulated I ehall give It meat careful consideration , and If I con- elder it feasible , recommend its adoption in ray etate. " Governor Daniel W. Jonea of Arkansas , being called on , arose , and in vigorous terms scored Governor Shaw for his facotlousncss , saying 'thin was no tlmo and place for re marks not tending ( o a furtherance of the business before the conference. Ho then made a sptoch against "the monsters'1 termed trusts , ho having felt their power among Ms people. In bis opinion the trusts should bo annihilated. Governor Jones was followed by Attorney General Edward 0. Crow of Missouri , wio ) tpojie ( o the question from ( ho viewpoint of a lawyer. He favored the enacting of a law In every state DO that when trusts are organized the equality of ttiO law ehall prevail. At tbo evening eeeslon Governor Hazen 8.
