He called upon the county treasurer and asked for 17,693,1 duo the dlstriet as its share of tho last state school money ap portionment. He did this because the law tells him to get tho money and deposit it with tho treasurer of the board. ,, County Treasurer Fink refused to hand over the coin or Its equivalent, although it has been the custom of the cou,nty treasurer to make out a check payable to A. II. Hennlngs, ''treasurer of the school district," In past years. Secretary Burgess said the county treasurer first bused his xetusul on the statement that A. H.

After several hours of discussion upon the resolu tion, which the chair refused to rocognisc the convention adjourned tonight until to morrow morning, after passing a resolu tion to appoint a committee on resolutions consisting of Ave members which is to re port tomorrow morning. Through the cntlVe day Dolan was at tacked from all sides and his attitude in Indianapolis was the object of much criti cism and censure. ' When the meeting was called to order there were calls of "traitor" and "enemy of the- minors," and almost In stantly ft dosen or more of the delegates were clamoring for recognition.

There are H3.0OB unorganized miners between the 1'nlon Station and Johnstown and It was because of these things thst I voted in favor of the operators'- proposition. "I know," ho continued, "what It Is to carry on a strike better than any one here, or ns well. It means camps, funds and worries that few of those here have had experience (n meeting. I know what ob stacles are to be met. what wa must ex pect.' to go up against."; When the resolution of ouster was pre sented President Dolan called Vice Presi dent Belllngham to thu chair and from the floor of the convention, addreslng the del egates, said: j.

In a considerable measure, resultod in the most intelligent people avoiding such foods and medicine as may he fairly sus pected nf containing the Injurious liipre dleuta complained of.

Feb. g.-Conslderable fault was found with the railroad rate bill In the house, considering the fact that it is a measure of both parties. Mr. Little field (Me.) opened the day with a whirl wind speech In which he pointed out the dVastln and far-reaching effect of Its pro visions. The committee, he said, had gone much farther than the president had rec ommended and much further than he was willing to go. He would not vote for the bill. Mr. Qrosvenor (O.) ridiculed the alleged popular demand for the legislation, picked flaws In the construction of the- bill, com plained because no amendments were to be allowed and concluded with the statement that he should do his best to get the bill i out of the house at the earliest possible ', moment, which was taken to mean that he ' would vote for It. Ten other speeches were made, all of them by members who will vote for the bill, but some of whom would like opportunity to amend the measure. Mr. Oalnes (Tenn.) has an anti-pass amend ment which he will bring forward at the proper time. At the conclusion of the day Mr. Hep burn, In charge of the measure, said It looked now as though debate would con clude at t o'clock Wednesday. The read ing of the bill will begin at once and he is of the opinion that It can be concluded, all proposals disposed of and the bill passed that day before adjournment. Those favor ing the bill during the day were: Stevens (Minn.), Laniar (Flu.). Cnderwood, (Ala.), Galnea (Tenn.), Hardwlrk, (Oa.), Davidson (Wis.), H'-odes (Mo.), Pou (N.

Besides certain alterations that promlso to avoid delay iu landing Chinese who ap ply fur admission, other alterations have been made where possible with a view to avoiding any action that would seem of fensive, provided that the object Intended by such regulations could be accomplished otherwise. As un Illustration of this the committee recommended the discontinu ance of the Uertlllon system of Identlllua tion. Another amendment of the regulations recommended by the committee is a re quirement that the administrative officers should advise Chinese persons, ether la borers or of the exempted class, before their departure from the I'nlted States of the conditions under which they would be adn.itted upon their 'return.

Provisions are also made for the notifica tion of Chinese persons who have been denied admission at the ports of entry of the right to appeal from such denial to the secretary, such notlco being re quired under the new regulations lo lie In tho Chinese tongue, and the further pre caution being taken to notify thu Chinese consul. If there he such an officer st the port of entry, of the adverse action of the officers at such port In tho case of any Chinese person, so that said consular offi cer may have the opportunity, should he deem such a course necessary, to employ consul or otherwise Interest himself In be half of his countryman.
