The Board of Police Commissioners have ben in session during the forenoon. A large number of striking iron workers who bad obtained work on the Wilson Atenue paving contract were this forenoon waited upon by a delegation of the strikers tnd iorc to throw down their shovels and accompany them. --i At 10 o'clock the strikers dispersed and went to their homes.

The meeting sdvertlsed to be held to-night was postponed as the men expect to be on tbe move to-morrow and are saving their strength. They will call on the Mayor for more advice, and then proceed to the officers, of the Cleveland Rolling Mill Company, to fee if they can get consolation in that qnarter. To-night they express a determination to march against the Union Screw Works, ths H. P. Nail factory and the Chishalm Shovel Factory.

These establishments are to assume operations In the morning. The screw woiks began work a small way this. mornjpg. If the mob attempts. to elose these places, trey will be mowed down, as Gstllng gnns and a heavy detail of police and military will be ready for them.

To-night there has been no demonstration whatever. The American, Welsh, Irish, English, Scotch and German workmen have taken no part in the riot thus far, and say they will not. TRADE AND TRAVEL. A Conference la Seats American Commerce. Sr.

Commissioner Col man was chosen temporary Chairman and Prof. Geo. Fatrchfld temporary A committee on ereden- Commissioner Col man, in his opening address ot welcome, briefly sketched tne discussion in Congress which preceded the magnificent grants of land for the endowment of agricultural colleges in tho several.

States and said that It would be conceded that the general publio professed a degree of disappointment in the outcome of the appropriations. The Idea in Congress was that of interesting young men 1 farming operations and the Fandamenlal Principles of Facta were submitted to Congress showing that thi average of the -yield waa gradually diminishing in quantity, and the soil. waa being rapidly exhausted ot plant food. To arrest this somewhat alarming tendency It waa nieu aavrsame to encourage insutu-i tions where the results of scientific Investigations In vegetable physiology would be' exemplified, and their practicable application lnnVlde and gardens clearly The result had: not been commensurate with the public expectation. Complaint was made that comparatively fa graduates became farmers and the truth of tuts must to ome extent be admitted, Is wai nothlug strange especially la eaeee where tho main-tensBce-wasnoteaaa-atax upon the mads of the college that, graduates should avoid a raHing demonstrated to "be Afier alluding la detail to- some- of the bran ehes blch should faudamental ly tongbt in all agricultural ooltegeo, he -referred at length to some of the operations and plana which might be carried out'oa-collega farms by the college which would be more particularly under the auspices of tho Department ef Agriculture, 'and for its special use and advantages, operations and plans involving -problems which -could only be solved by luvestl gaUons carried on simultaneously in different localities.

The peculiaiiUes consequent upon changing seed from one soil and climate to others were strongly suggestive that good would result-from a well ootxlaoiexi series of experiments mjiao over widely diversified climates and conditions. The wider tbe sj stem of interchange of seeds and the greater the nunfberof simultaneous tests, tbe room could the tabulated results oat of which to deduce principles for future guidance and action be prenared. an example of special work for suitable jocauues, ob wtiiua meniion tao invesuga- ilon.reJatingta.:-';;:1'';- -I'S irr The department could collect the seeds of many varieties and assign them to all colleges in the cotton States, wlth lnstruotions which would secure similarity of treatment throughout their growths Semi-weekly inspections might be made, when every detail or progiess connected with rainfall, temperature, time of first flourishing, continuation of the blooming period, and the quantity and quality of lint should be carefully noted. These processes should be continued for a series of years, but when eompletet could not fail to be of great benefit to all engaged in the culture of the crop. -n Detetmlnations wonla ba retched as to the adaptability of certain klada tt like climates.

Better varieties than thos 9 now cultivated would be indicated for many localities, and profits would be enhanced. The first fact to be evolved by such experi-inents would be the eliciting of the know ledge necessary to the Intelligent orossiag varieties for the purpose of combining in the excellencies of many. The principles rov- erning the relations of crops, the ab.idia tion of plants and the study ot the diseasea of plants were touched npon aa promising a way to conspicuous usefulness by agriool-tural colleges, if entered upon coniolnlly Upon tbe general subject, and in the Commissioner said that there nothing which would so attract and "rivet the attention of the agricultural publio to Avnarfm.ntol wnplr. ers wonfd hope and expect to be directly benefited. On 'the college farms should be tested every variety of fruit, cereals, Umber trees and every domestic animal, and those found in.

all respects adapted to -the locality should be disseminated by the college. Thus one -college farm -would' be. trj lag experiments for hundreds of thousands of farmers who oould enjoy the benefits and not suffer the losses In money, labor -and time of making the tests for themselves. He preferred the servloeS of the department Jn obtaining from abroad tla aud. plants of any product which we.were now importing, whenever the fasnlty of an college wished to test the cuhlvtian of the i lant in this country.

He oould sse the necessity for a great: Hatlonal Experlateatai Farm. also, which he would have established near tte capital, aod if he might go farther he would estaDlteh upon it a permanent national or world's ex position, where the pro-duets Of this and other naUons might be exhibited lde by eide. He believed that at no -c Istaat day all this wo.ld be realised for ag-liculture. The nursing mother of all Industries wast ntltled to such recognition.
