AT ST. LOUIS
CONFERENCE OF GOVERNORS
AND ATTORNEY GENERALS.
Tho Committee on Resolutions Tolls
Until After Midnight Trying to
Bring the Widely Dlvetgent Views
to a Focus The Resolutions Pre
sented. St. Louis, Sept. 21 The conference
of golertiois and attorney genet als to
discuss the trust question was late In
assembling todaj-. The members of the
committee on resolutions tolled until
after midnight Hying to bring together
the widely divergent views presented.
When they dually came to a conclusion
the matter was left In the hands of a
sub-committee composed of Governor
Benton McMllllu, chairman, and Attor
ney Generals Smith and Campbell to
put Into pioppr shape.
At today's session ot the confeicnco
Mr McMlllln presented the resolutions.
They are as follows.
The committee on icsolutlons to
which was tefened sevcial tesolutlons
and papers, in lieu of all of them, sul -mils
the following lesolutlon with the
i 'commendation that it bo adopted by
tills confeitnce:
Resolutions.
Tli.it wo believe the best present avail
able remedies lie alon,; the following
lints;
rimt Tne enactment and enfortement
by the pevcinl states find the nation of
lcglsiutlon that shall ialoiunt iv and fully
ilellne as ci lines anj uttempted monop
olization or restraint of trade In an lino
of Imlustilal iictlvitv, with provision for
adequate punishment both ot tin Indi
vidual or the cmporiitlon tint shall be
found guilty tluuof. unUlumnt to tho
curpointlun to tho ex nt of Its dissolu
tion Si ootid Tlio enactment by each of the
states of the I'nion of legislation for tho
atbquito and proper control and regula
tion of coiporatlons chartered by tliat
rftute, and wc recommend as cfllciciinis n
svslem ot reports to and examination by
state nuthiirlti of the corporations organ
ized under Its livvs, to the end that tl)ey
be brought to a fair observance of tho
laws under which they are created
Third Thu enactment b each stato of
laws that will ptcvent tho entrance of
anx fi reign created coipor.ition into its
limits for any other purposo than Inter
state commerce, except on teims that will
put tho foreign created coiporatioti on a
basis of iqualitj with the domestic Ple
ated corporation of tho state entered and
subletted to tho tamo laws lilies and
regulitlons of tho stale that It enters
which are applicable to tho domestic coi
poratlons of that slate, and to this end
we recommend legislation that w'ould
make It mandatoiv upon corporations
peeking to engage In business outside tho
Mate of their creation that thty procure
license from the foreign stnte as a con
dition precedent to thilr tntrv Into such
stato; such license to be giantcd on suen
terms and subject to such lestilctlons as
will place tho corporition subjitt to tlio
simo control, inspection, supervision nnd
emulation as the domestic coipor.ition
of that state and subject to bo reversible
If tho conditions thereof are Uolatoel.
fourth The enactment of state leglj
latlon declaring that a corporation cre
ated In one state to do buslne-ss exclus
ively In other states than where created
shall bo prohibited from admission into
any state.
This proposition Is supported by decis
ions of tlio Supreme courts of several
states, but wo believe it should bcomn
legislative enactment, uniform through
out the stntcs
fifth That no corporation should bo
formed in w hole or in part by anj corpor
ation Sixth That no corporation shall own or
hold anj stock In nunthei corporation en
gaged in a similar or competitive busi
ness nnd that no oincer or director or a
coipor.ition shall bo the ollleer or direc
tor or the owner of stock in unothtr coi
noration engaged in a similar or compet
itive business, tlio object or lesult ot
vvblth Is to create a trust or monopoly.
Seventh-Recognizing that ti lists are
usuallj composed ot corporations and
that corporations tire but creatures of
the law, and that thes only exist In the
place of their creation, and cannot mi
grate to another sovereignty without
the consent of that soverelgntv nnd that
their consent may lie withheld when de
sired we recommend as the sense of
this conferenuce that i ach state piss
laws piovldlng that no corpoi ntlon which
is a member of anv pool oi tiust in that
state or elsewheie can do business In that
state
Ucsolvfd, That It Is the sense of tills
conference that all tlio capital stock ot
privato corporations should bo fully p dd
either as, In lawful monej. oi second, In
property of the actual cash value of the
amount of the capital stock and that In
all private corporations with a capital
stock Issued in excess of tho amount ac
tually paid up as above piovlded tho

of twice the face nlue ot the stock held

said, "to Xvaron corporations or capital
In any form. The tone ot then- tesolu
tlons Is, not to eruli cirpoiatlons, or
le?trov capital but to leguate them
That Is the whole object of this con
ference und when that is obtained
its whole dutv will have been done."
Tho tesolutlons were then unanimously
adopted by the teptesentatlvcs of tho
states remaining.

COMMOTION AT THE HUB.
Tho Folloxveis of George Fiecl Wil

Boston, Sept. 21 The riotous scones
and the bitter fights between the two
factions of the Democratic party In this
state which ch.aiacteilzed the all-night
session In Music hall here in 1836 and
that at Worcester the following year
were lenewed with even gi eater bit
ten ness at the annual convention of the
state Deniociucy In Mechanics' hall to
day Theic was hardly a moment
when theio was quiet 'anil harmony In
any degiee. At times the entlie dele
gation was upon Its feet, the members
standing on chads und tables shouting
In the heat of passion some denuncia
tor j remai ks at the chaiiman or the
person who was eiideavoiing to speal:
upon the platform.
At this tlmo It seemed as though even
the feme of 100 policemen In the hall
would be of no avail, so Impassioned
werj those upon the flooi, and tho
climax came when, nt the lecpiest of
the chairman, the captain of the po
lice nppeared upon tho platform and
placed his hand on Congressman John
n Fitzgerald, In readiness to forclblj
lemove him fiom the platform had he
not subsided and allowed the chairman
to address and calm the excited as
semblage. The cause of the tumult, which lagpd
for neatly three hours, was the ques
tion befoio the Doily accepting the
action of the state committee In pre
senting a list of delegates to the na
tional convention It was claimed by
those who opposed tho Idea that It was
against all recedent and robbed the
various distilcts of their constitutional
rights
The pe-sjr.allttes which were In
dulged Ir wore dhected as much
against Coiiptcssman ntzgerald as
ngalnst Mr TV Hiatus, the paity, and
haul nr.mts veie called on both sides.
The final nsilt of all the contusion
and discord was the overwhelming pas.
sage of every motion and icpoit that
was made by tbp stato committee.
The following state ticket was nomi
nated' Hobett Treat Paine, ji., of Bos
ton, feu goveinoi; John II Mack, of
Ninth Adams, for lieutenant governoi,
John S Monlson. of Lowell, for attoi
ney geneial: W. L Hamsdell. of Ljnn,
for stato auditor, Hairj Lloyd, of Bos
ton, for secietary ot state Joseph J.
Fljnn, of Lawience, for state treas
urer. The committee appointed to select
the delegates to the national conven
tion then made Its tepoit. TIip delo-gates-at-large
are George Trod Will
lams. Colonel A. C. Diinkwatcr, Will
iam F. McNary and Clulstopher T. Cal
lahan Theio wore sevcial attempts at dls
tuibance when tho motion to accept
the report of this committee was put,
but they weie suppiessed and the
chairman declared the tepoit adopted
and the list of delegates stands as an
nounced. After the adoption of the
platform the convention adjourned.
The platform adopted declaies that
the Chicago platfotm of 1S9C, "like the
Declaration of Independence stands as
a p.irt of the fundamental code of
Democratic government " The llnan
clal plank of that listiument Is par
tlculaily lelteiated and the financial

Pails, Sept. 21. The Journal Offlciel

poit preceding the decree the Maiquls
do Galllffct, the minister of war, points
out that Dieyfus has alieady under

fir the law docs not assimilate hli de

Tho inlnlstei also calls attention to
the fact that the health of the pris

and concludes thus:
"The guv eminent will not have met
