It passed both the senate and the house without nn amendment and ery little objection, showing conluslvely that past apptoprlatlon bills have not,kept pace with the rapid growth and unani mous demand foi better service of free dcllvei) and further shows that our national law makers ate being lnstruc t rd for better serv Ice and more ade quate compensation for those engaged In this most Important btanch of the government.

In reporting for the special commit tee appointed to ariange for the visit to the School of Mines, Chairman Spang, of AUentown, paid the follow ing very flattering compliment to this admlraldy conducted institution: "I w Ish to state also for the benefit of delegates that they might be able to obtain some information In that sclnol. When our superintendent. of free de livery, Mi. Machen, went through tne school he learned something. When going through the mailing department; he learned something that he had been studying up for years They have ev ery state in a separate map. Ever.' map lias a tack where theie Is a town and every tack has a number on the head showing the population. If It ,s 5.000 population It has a "5" on it T(re'i they have a rubber around a numbr of tacks to show the district. Mr. Machen sass that he will adopt that irr his ofllce." It was arranged that the delegates should visit the school at 7.30 o'clock p. m. and many of them took advan tage of the opportunity. The afternoon session was secret and Secretatj Cantvvell, who was au thorised to give out the press reports, stated that nothing much of uirbllc In tel est tianspiied The piopo.sltlon to adopt the Initia tive and referendum form of govern ment was tabled Indefinitely and a motion to deciease the membership of the executive committee from five to three was defeated by a latge vote Mutual Benefit association affairs occupied the lest of the afternoon set,- Evening Session, IT WAS 10 o'clock before the elec tions were entered upon and long past midnight when they weie concluded. A half hour was lost through the tardiness of the delegates and an hour and a half was spent In preparing the election preliminaries, receiving declin ations and new nominations and lis tening to the dissertations on the gran deur of the several cities seeking the next convention. Mr. Salvo, fiom Chaileston, was the first to be heard along this Jlne. Among his campaign literature was a passing invitation from the governor of South Carolina, Hon. M, B. Sweerrey. When Mr. Salvo had finished reading Goveinoi McSweeney's message a dele gate in the i ear of the hall caused a big laugh with "What did the governor of Noith Carolina say?" Refenlng In a sai castle tone to Detroit's boast about its great body of water, Sir. Salvo said. "We're not saying a word about water. We'll give you some thing better than water" (Laughter.) Baltimore's delegation put forward the beauties of the Monumental City, Its nearness to Washington, and its ability to give all kinds of entertnln ment to visitors, as the principal rea sons why the convention should go to that city. In seconding the nomination of De troit. Mr. Wlnham bald he felt some alairn over the announcement that Wllkes-Bnrio was In the field, but still had hopes for his city. Governor Pin grce's telegram tliglng the convention to come to Dettolt provoked applause. Mr. Parker, of Chattanooga, In nom inating that city dwelt particulate on the beauties of the national park and the Interesting historic region thete abouts. After the olllcial ballots had been dis tributed the nominations were re opened to permit of declinations and substitutions M T. Finnan, of Bloom Ingtori, the only candidate foi vice piesldent, withdrew, and Charles D. Duff), of Chicago, was nominated In his place. Mr. Duffy withdrew from the contest for treasurer und left Alex McDonald, of Gland Rapids, the only candidate. F. S Trafton, of Cleveland, wlth diew fiom the contest for a plae? on the committee on legislation and left Messrs, Curtln and Qulrrn to be elect ed without opposition. John H. Phillips, of tnls city, was slated for tho vice presidency but de declined to stand nnd was given tho nomination for a place on the civil service board. A.

CHAIRMAN DUNN, of the Bos delegation Is tireless In his ef forts to make the present tilp of the Boston delegation reflect credit upon that city Ho Is ablv as sisted bv the old war horses Langdon and Bishop. Tho latter has attended these conventions for yents Lingdon Is new at conventions but the bt"st or ganizer ever developed bv the Boston branch and is never tiled tolling the advantages of being a number of the N. A. I. C. Delegate Uasbrook, of Cony, I'a , Is wearing two large chestnut burs as a button hole bouquet. He says vvheiv he Is fiom, wov up In tho noithwest corner of the old Keystone state, oak, maple, beech and chestnut are the prnlcipal timber, but you can never get chestnuts till after thev have had frost He savs he Toancl the frost at Wilkes Bane and consequently the chestnuts Mr Habbrook Is original and very popular with the delerates. This Is his tifth convention and he is very loud In his praise that Scranton extends tho most hospitality and far exceeds any convention city he has had the pleas ure of visiting At tho meeting ot the Pennsylvania delegates William J Berkly of Johns towrr was elected state vice-president. A. J Houston, chairman of the De troit delegation, was a well pleased man last night when the convention de cided to hold Its next convention In that beautiful city. Detroit Is really the home of the Letter Carriers' asso ciation There the Hist branch was or ganized mainly through the efforts of Mr Houston and It existed as a local organization for some time before the letter carrleis of the countiy saw It was a good thing aud expairded It to a national affair. The first convention of the association was held In Detroit in 1891 and they will tako great ptldo next )eai in pointing to the great pro gress tho association has made during these nine years. At the convention In Toledo, O, ono year ago, Detroit as sisted SCianton materially In getting tho coin en t Ion of this year and while the position of the local carriers as hosts made it necessary for them to bo neutral, they will shed no tears be cause the honor has gone to Detroit. After the convention adjourned last night a number of tho delegates cele brated tho victory of Detroit In Mr. Houston's suite of looms In the Valley House. PARSONS SPOKE AT MASS MEETING HEAD OF KNIGHTS OF LABOR SPOKE IN CAHPENTEItS HALL. Delivered nn Address to Trades Unionists Spoke of tho Mission of Labor nnd the Necessity for Its Forces to Organize for Political Ac tionTouched Upon tho Brooklyn Trolley Strike and Told of the Causes Lending up to It. A mass meeting of organized lihor . .fn .'!', U,8t uvenlK l' Carpenteis "ill. Addreses were made by John N tarsons gruml ,(,.,. Workmnn ot the Knights of Labor and preslderr' of the Letter Carrleis' association anJ everul other speakers The affair :is in the irature of a postponement 'if the meeting which was to hive been held nt Laurel Hill park on, but was trot held then. Oeorge J. Kleffner. of Omaha, Neb., a delegate to the carriers' convention was the first speaker, and he made an Interesting address, tracing the hls tory of trades unionism from the mid dle ages to tho present time. Benjamin James, organrz-r of t.e United Mine Workeis, was the next speakci. He spoke upon tho suecoss being met with in organizing the mlrr eis In this valley. He sAated that where In 1S97 there weie only 7,000 or ganized miners in the country, there were onvv over 100,000. He stated that not until both the bituminous and anthracite miners co operate with each other could thi hope for auy benefit to be derived from organizing. In concluding, he said "In the time to come we will probibl) need jour support and we hope that we mav have It " James C. Keller, a carrier 'rom Cleveland, O., was next introduced and made a brief address In which he showed the dilft of organize 1 labor toward political action MR PARSONS' ADDRESS John N. Parsons was the next speak er and as he stepped upon the plat form he was loudly cheercl Ha sa'd In part: "I desire to state In be?l ning (hat any man with a unhn cud Is a friend of mine, no ma fee whose ri,tl .,,. tached. It Is now twenlv v"irs sh-ce I Joined the Knights of Labir. In that time I have been pt.ne.l t r,-i, disputes arising In that body, but it Is my Judgment that these disputes have been more largely among the leaders than among the rank and tile of labor. "If I once accomplish my puipose In life I shall bo glad to retire Into the most obscure position Inthe rank of labor I am ono who believes that the mission of labor Is not fulfilled. I am one who believes that In organized labor there Is a standard of citizenship above the average. "Worklngmen in this country have too long been made the tools of men who make their living more by their wits than by any ability and at the ex pense of generous, good-hearted, but poorly informed labor. "In the city of New York at the pres ent time the Central Labor body Is going through a process of house clean ing. We are weeding out tho repre sentatives of tho party machines who have been sitting In our councils. A NEW PARTY. "We have organized a new paity In New York. Tho committee appointed to draw up the platform represented every phase of labor. There were 150 organized crafts lepresented at that meeting We knew and know now that If the rank and llle of labor can be moused that we can put the political jobber out of an occupation. "We have called our party the Inde pendent Labor Party, and I predict that when the polls close next Novem ber In New York that we will have a good report to make We expect to plant men on the floor of the legisla ture who will not be afraid to talk for labor, and wo expect to put men on the Supreme bench who will give tho laboring man a chance. "We're not going to monkey much, however, with aldermen or assembly men, we're out gunning for two Su preme court Judges. Tho issue that caused all the trouble was a lailroad strike. There were laws secured grant ing tiolley men a ten-hour day The railroad companies, backed by a judic ial decision, worked the men fourteen and fifteen houis a dayj We callel public meetings to call the attention of the authorities to the abuses existing Wo sepured evidence enough to bring In sixteen Indictments, but they're lying dusty nnd forgotten In the pigeon holes of the desk of the district at torney, THEY QUIT WORK.
