By Telegraph to tne nornlng Star. Chicago, September 13. The con ference on the uses and abuses of trusts and combinations began hero to day, with less than half the delegates appointed by the various States in at tendance. New York, headed by W. Bourke Cochran, and Wisconsin were most numerously represented.

The meeting was called to order at 8.30 by Franklin H. Head, the temporary chairman appointed by the Civic Federation, on whose call the con ference was arranged. Among those present were: W. Bourke Cochran Albert Shaw, of the Review of Ke views; Governor Atkinson, of West Virginia: ex-Governor Foster, of Ohio: Prof. John B.

Clarke, of Co lumbia University; Attorney General T. S. Smith, of Texas; F. B. Tnur-ber, of New York; Prof.

Henry O. Adams, of the University of Michigan Prof. J. W. Jenks, of Cornell University; Prof.

John G.Brooks, of Cambridge. Mass Lecturer on Po litical Economy in the University of Chicago Prof. Bemis; Lieutenant Governor Jones, of Ohio; Prof. B. T.

Ely, of the University of Wisconsin; At torney General Smythe, of Nebraska Wm. J. Bryan was absent, but it is believed he will appear later in ine conference. Chairman Head delivered au ad dress in explanation of the call for the conference. Prof.

Jenks followed with a paper under the caption, "Problems Before the Conference." This afternoon's session opened with a paper by Professor Adams on the same subiect as his predecessor. Mr. Jenks. These addresses were received attentively, but it remained for Dudley Wooten, of the Texas delegation, to stir up the enthusiasm of the camp meeting variety. He was frequently interruped by cheering.

He spoke in part as follows. "Accepting in good faith that amendment which the heroic legions of the South resisted unto death on a thousand battlefields, we believe that 'neither sUvery nor involuntary ser vitude. except as punishment for crime, shall exist within the United States or any place subject, to their And we confidently a sert that the commercial ana industrial bondage being rapidly imposed upon the toil and talents of 70,000,000 American citizens by the syndicated wealth of a few great corporate monopolies is more dire and dangerous than the slavery which bowed the heads and burdened the backs of 4,000,000 Southern black men. "And above and beyond these great written guarantees of equality and justice we look to the lessons of his tory and appeal to the authority of experience. When we are told that commercial combinations promises golden rewards to the present tendencies of our economic system, we remember that no republic has ever suryived the mercenary despotism of merchants and money changers." The committee on permanent or ganization met after the afternoon ad journment of the conference.

The committee, consisting of one delegate from each State represented and each organization of general scope, was in part as follows: Texas, Hon. A. IS. Davidson; Florida, John Franklin Forbes West Virginia, J. B.

Harris South Carolina. B. C. Kaufman; Mississippi, J. W.

Culver; Louisiana. W. W. Howe. William Wirth Howe was selected chairman of the meeting, and after a hot discussion was elected permanent chairman of the conference, though three vice chairmen, each to preside during one day, were selected.

It was a happy solution of what, at one time, promised to be a split. JNo one was willing to allow a permanent chair man to be appointed to preside at all sessions lest he should favor some fac tion. The vice chairmen selected were: Thursday, Dudley Wooten, Texas; Friday, Major H. B. Johnson, Colorado; Saturday, S.

P. Corliss, New York. Ralph M. 'Easley was elected as per manent secretary. A sub-committee on programme and rules was also ap pointed.

The committee will make special rules to govern points of is pute but ordinary parliamentary rules will generally prevail. After vainly trying to solve the question of a com mittee on resolutions, the committee adjourned until evening. ARCHBISHOP IRELAND. Deprecates the Holding of Public Meetings for the Purpose of Protesting Against the Dreyfns Verdict. ByTeletrraph to tbe Morning star.

St. Paul, September 13. Archbishop Ireland to day, asked for his opinion on the meeting to protest against the verdict of the Rennes court martial, said: "It is my belief that public meet ings in America, such as it is proposed to hold for the purpose of protesting against the sentence of the Rennes court martial, are untimely, unfair to France and likely to breed regrettable ill feeling between that country and our own. 'I shall not deny that I have always had in my heart deep sympathy for the unfortunate officer who has been under trial in Rennes; and that I had wished and hoped that the sentence of the court would have been one of acquittal. But it is another question to face the verdict of the court, the mo ment that verdict has been declared, with the assertion that it is plainly against truth and that the court from which it issues is guilty of base injustice and sacrilegious perjury.

And it is still more so another question to lay upon ranee the crime of the ver dict, if crime there ba, and to throw at a whole people and their govern ment insulting epithets. Let us wait. "ihis whole matter belongs to the nternal life and to the internal ad ministration of France, and international courtesy as well as justice bid us talk about it very carefully and very slowly. France is a proud, sensitive nation. She will deeply resent, as it is surely her right, any uncalled for interference with her internal administration and any imprudent chal lenging of her national honor.

France has been our friend of as-es. She was our friend when no other nation befriended us. She is our friend to-day. She is a sister republic. We should pause long and seriously be- ummiujf, suspecting or onenuing France.

"I can well explain and understand the present happenings in America. The American people are. most easily roused to sentiments of justice and hu manity, irruaence, however, is the queen of all virtues and we should strive to make it ours. In what I sav I sneak as an Ameri can, for what believe the good of America. 1 make no plea for France, although because I know France, 1 love her, despite her faults, and I hope for her, despite her perils." Thomas Palmer, the English ban tam weight pugilist who was beaten by McGoyern, sailed for home on the American line steamer New York yesterday.

No Lives Were Lost, Bat Heavy Damage Was Done to Public and Private Property. By Cable to the Morning Star. Island of Bermuda. Sept. 13.

A cyclone swept over this island last night. Houses were blown down and others were unroofed. The storm raged the whole of last night No lives were lost, but heavy damage was done to public and private prop erty. The storm was the worst known here since the hurricane of 1880. In fact, many of the inhabi tants say it exceeded the gale of 1880 in violence.

Information from the dock yard says the damage done there is very se rious. The breakwater is badly dam aged. On Ireland and Boaz Islands everything is more or less injured. The damage is roughly "estimated at 100.000 pounds sterling. At Jsomerset all the boats and small craft were de stroyed, the trees demolished and houses unstated, or otherwise dam aged.

At Prospect Camp the damage is es tun a ted at 3,000 pounds. More than half a mile of the cause way connecting the mainland with Saint Georges is totally destroyed. It will cost 12,000 pounds to 15,000 pouuds to repair it. News from St. Georges, received by a whale boat, says serious damage has been done there to trees, houses, etc.

Reports from outlying parishes are slowly coming in. They all there has been great destruction or trees and serious injury to housea and other property. But, so far as can learned here, there has been no of life. It is a curious coincidence that the great gale of 1880 occurred September 11th and September and this was on September 12th and ldth. rso correct estimate of the amouut of damage to private property can at present be obtained, but it will be fully 100,000 pounds sterling.

C- Thubsdat Morxixg, Sept. 14 AN OVERLOADED TRANSPORT Steimsbip Tartar, With a Large Number of Soldiers On Board, Detained at Hong Koag. By Telegraph to the Moraine Btar. Washington, September 13. The War Department has been informed that the steamship Tartar, wnicn returning to the United States from Manila with a large number or soi kmni has hfpn detained at Hong Kong by the local authorities because she is ovenoaaea.

An International Question. The' Tartar is a British ship. She belongs to the Canadian Paciefi SteamshiD Comnany. playinsr betwe British Columbia and Australia. She was chartered by the quartermaster's department of jhe United States army to carry United States troops, but it is not believed here that this charter could in any respect affect her nationality.

She could cease to be a British ship and become entitled to American registry only by act of Congress. It was stated at the War Department that the Tartar matter had been referred to Ambassador Choate, which makes an international question out of it. The contention of the War Department is that notwithstanding the Tartar flies the British flag, being chartered by the United States government, the assumption of British authority over her is unauthorized. OFFER OF AUTONOMY. The Filipino Congress Rejects tbe American Proposals, Giving Reasons for Non-Acceptance.

By Cable to the Morning Star. Manila, September 13, Noon. correspondent here of the Associated Press has obtained a copy of the reply adopted by the Filipino Congress to the American offer of an autonomous government, The author of the reply was Ambrosio Rianzares, who was offered a position in the Supreme Court, but who failed to appear and was supposed to be detained by the insurrectionists. The document repeats tbe arguments contained in the recent appeal to the powers for recognition and the Filipino claims that the Americans were the aggressors in the war, and concludes: "Notwithstanding the foregoing, we could have accepted your soyereignty and autonomy if we had not seen by the behavior of the Americans in the beginning that they were strongly opposed to us through race prejudice, and the highhanded methods of dealing with us made us fear for the jture in your hands. Filally, we thank you for your offerts of autonoy under sovereignty." TO SERVE IN THE PHILIPPINES.

SOUTH CAROLINA FARMERS OPPOSE ROUND BALE PRESS. At a meeting of the farmers of Marlboro county in Bennettsville, S. on Monday, the 4th of September, Mr. Charles Crosland made a speech on the question of cotton baling and offered the following resolutions in regard to the packing of cotton, which were adopted Whereas, There is a mighty contest for the supremacy of the round bale over the square bale now being waged, and we believe the establishment of the round bale to be the most merciless trust ever aimed at the cotton interests; therefore, be it Resolved (1), That to secure the thorough co-operation of the exporters and compresses of the country in our fight to maintain the square bale as tbe standard, we will, who have not done so, change our presses to a uniform standard size, as requested by the cotton trade, 24x54. Resolved (2), That every farmer in Marlboro county pledge himself not to have a bale packed on the round bale presses, as they are thus aiding and abetting the cause we are combatting.

The Proposal to Boycott.

Berlin, September 13. The German government organshave been quick to issue a warning against the proposal to boycott the Paris Exposition. Germany has no occasion to take the lead in this matter' says the Cologne Gazette, "she ought to leave this to other States which, perhaps, would not consider it undesirable that Germany of all powers, should now adopt a hostile attitude toward ranee in this matter." The association of German celluloid manufacturers has decided to abstain from exhibiting at the Paris Exposition Cologne. September 13. The Ger man Trades Union Association, on the motion of the president, adopted a resolution to-day not to exhibit at the Paris Exposition, declaring that the Rennes sentence was an insult, in its disregard for official statements of Ger many.

The pres3 of the city, however, urges German exhibitors to avoid hasty decisions, and to await until other nations have declared their attitude. Danger of Too Much Sympathy. London, September 13. While the papers are full of letters from individuals and several firms announcing their withdrawal from the Paris Exhibition and urging the government to do likewise, there is no intention upon the part of the British government of taking any Buch step. It seems also unlikely that the present agination will result in any general withdrawal of British exhibits.

Max O'Reil (Paul Bloueuhas written a letter to the Daily Chronicle, saying that a public expression of sympathy win go against Ureyfus. adding: For God's sake use your influence to stop it. But for the universal sympathy shown for Dreyfus, whom I believe to be innocent, in England and Germany. he would have been acquitted. It is a terrible thing to say, but I say it.

The Evening Neics is urging the for mation of a British legion of honor. consisting of persons and firms who will have nothing to do with the Paris Exposition, and publishes a list of forty firms and others, headed by Sir Wm.
