Th Amerloaa Trotting Aaaooiatioa e Al-low ttldewuaelere to Beoui etradard, Chicago, May 20. Muoh business of importance to horse breeder! was trana-acte- d by the executive committee of the American Trotting Register association yesterday. After a long discussion it was voted to incorporate a rule in the s that any pacer otherwise eligi-ble may be admitted for registry as standard when it has made a record in accordance with the rules of the as-sociation of 3:25 or better. It was agreed that it was of vital importance that some safeguard be thrown abound the registry to avoid any contingency of an appeal from the decision of the regristrar. The effect of this was a board of censors was appointed g of Lucas lirodbead, of Kentucky, W, P. Ijanis, of , Indi-ana, and C. F. Kmory, of Ohio. This board will have absolute authority in matters of registry. Rules were also adopted directing that the year book shall contain a complete summary of all harness races, and that all perform-ances agoinst time shall be at a regular meeting of a society in membership wiih the American or National associa-tions, and co idu cted by the regular of-ficials of such societies. This is because hitherto there has been great uncertainty in many cases about the authenticity of records against lime. It shall neither consti-tute a record nor be for the purposes of registration. Mr. Broadhead, when asked about the prospect! for consoli-dation, said: "The National Breeders' association is willing to join un but can-not legally take action until December. At that time there is uo doubt but a consolidation will be effected." li LONG WRANGLE. xomia Third Frty Duflsrs Indulge $ Series of Old-Ti- and Ohar- -' acteriitio Squabbles, i ' CfTOGAM DONNELLY BAMPAST l).

This was taken as : juenapt to have tho convention im-.$,- "' t commit itself to tho orgauiza-- j if a third party. General Weaver C ., 'i a denounced what he termed an ft j Dpt to pledge the convention on the r. j a most vital action without one vtj of discussion. Donuelly hotly tho work will be completed. It is stated that tho committee has made a plat-form on which they are ueauiuioua. After the opening exercises thil morning the reports Irotu the commit-th- o ou arrangements and credentials helpnd.to kit time pending the exciting development thut many looked for when the platform cimimiltea was ready to report. Jesse li u per of Illi-nois- a greeubaeker, addressed tho con-vention, lis was shut oil' by the report of the credentials committee. The committee announced that any delegate representing several organizations could only east one vote. This created quite a sensa-tion. The total number of delegates reported was 1417. The report was unanimously adopted. It Caused a Howl. A terrillo uproar was suddenly caused at tliis point by Grover, of WUeons.n, starting an harangue in opposition to the organizing of a new parly. Veil of "Sil dowu," "Put him out." and similar shout from the lloor and gallery had no effect. The ehaiiman pounded wildly with his hammer, and the W is-consin tuau was dually hauled down by the serpeantatarms. "When oroer was restored the report of the committee on permanent organi-zation was heard and then Air. Helen Ciougar of Indiana w as given an op-portunity lo exprets sympathy with the movement and plead lor a prohibition piaak iu t lie convention's platform. She was generously applauded. Mrs. Cougar denounced the banquet to be given to the delegates to the con-vention tonight, declaring that the brewers ware backing it. There was much feeling displayed over the talk, and it was staled that Mrs. Conger's dtlagatiin would repudiate her seuti-ment- s as to the banquet, and would at-tempt to discipline her. United States Senator Peffur at this point was introduced as permanent chairman of the convention and was given a Haltering reception. The as-semblage before him he proclaimed one of the most important ever convened on American soil. They were on the eve of an epoch more importaut to the interests of the people of this country than probably any that had ever con-fronted then). l'affar Thanks (Jail.

Let them only keep, however, iu the middle of tho road; let them not go astray after this ism or that ism, but begin today cheers to speed the main issue. Mr. Marion Todd, of Chicago, in an elequent address in behalf nl the con-vention, presented Senr.tor PetTer with a basket of llowers, An appeal was made from the platform for funds to pay tho fare of some of the colored al-liance delegates from South Carolina.

The matter was fully overwhelmingly deleatod It was necessary to call the previous question before votes could be obtained upon the report of the committee on or-der of business. It went through with a ruah and when the result was an-nounced pandenamium broke loose. The convention then took a reces until 2 o'clock this afternoon.

Last night a mass meeting was held, the orator of tho evening being Senator PellVr of Kansas. He began by saying that these people before him were the harbingers of a revolution that will de-throne money and reestablish the au-thority of the dear people. It is move-ment not to destroy, but to create; not to tear down, but to build up; not to destroy the wealth of the rich, but to restore to labor its just reward. A New Party llooui. Referring to a placard on the balcony of the hall "Nine Million Mortgaged Homes," Pelfer said it told volumes. The disease of mortal usury must be cured. Growing more fervid in his manner, the speaker said: "What shall we do with the money power? We'll raise a power among the people, make our own money and use it. (Tremen-dous applause. Take their railroads? No! We'll build our own. More ap-plause. We will fight with ballots and prayer, for the Alliance is, in a great measure, taking the place of the churches." PelTer closed by giving the new party a boom in these words: "Does this mean a new party? Cries of "yes." What else? I prophesy that a new party is to be born here, and its name is to be the National party." Great applause. What Po wdarly Said. General Master Workman Powderly aluo made au address. He began by declaring that he could say amen to every word PefTer had voiced. "It has been charged that I am here to head off the third party movement. If your movement is so weak that one Binall man can head it off, it is not worthy of its name. My friends, this movement is too large to be led or stopped by any one man.'' Wild applause.) Powderly went on to warn the conference against undue haste. Speaking to the Kansas men, he said they did not understand the situation in his part of the country, where ignorant foreigners were brought to the polls and voted by numbers." I he kn'ghts of labor will vote for the prin-ciples of their organization, and when you form a patty embodying euch prin-ciples as have been advanced here you will tind every knight of labor standiug at the poll doing bis full duty." Caagratamaa Ot ' fropnaitlon- - It is understood Congressman Otis of Kansas proposed that the conference rellirm the Ocala and St. Louis plat-forms and appoint a national commit-tee, to a meeting to be held at Cincin-nati February 22, 18!)2. Otis's proposi-tion, it is said, was warmly supported by Weaver of Iowa and Donnelly of. Minnesota, and will probably form the basis upon which the committee will will perform its labors. The new party men in this conference, who are hourly growing bolder iu their demands for immediate action, are determined to head offtheMcCune-Peck-Simpso- con-tingent, and to that end they are doing everything themselves to have the con-vention take such action and adopt such a platform a will make the new party a certainty in 181)2.

Thia morning'! session of of th i con grass was boisterous in the extreme, caused through the report of the com. mittea on permanent organization which occupied the entire morning. There-wer- both majority and minor-ity report. The former favors Anthony of Kansas for chair-man, while the minority advocated the selection of Judge C, C. Goodwin of Salt Lake. Governor Anthony is well known in his opposition to the free and unlimited coinage of silver, while Judge Good-win's viewi on this question are too well known to need comment. These , reports resulted in a division and the name of Mayor Shakespeare of New Orieaus was then presented as a com-promise candidate. This met with the nearly approval or the southern dele-gates. Uo to noon no decision ha has been reached. Denver, Colo., May 20. Asso-- ' oiated Press. Last night the com-mittee of the Trans-Mississip- con gress on permanent organization made up the following slate: Chair-man, Anthony of Kansas; first secretary, B. F. Forsythe of New Mexico; assistant, T. Richardson of Texas, and a numberof including N. B. Gwinn of Idaho, II, V. Lawrence of Utah, and J. C Bay-ard of Wyoming. There ii a strong probability, how-- . ever, of a struggle over the chairman-ship. Some it rung objection are raised against Anthony, He ba been interviewed and talked too much. He did not know it nntil a house fell. He was asked if he said a silver dollar was worth only seventy cents, and he had to plead guilty to the impeachment. Idaho sprang upon him without unne-cessary dolay. W. M. Ferry of Utah was then nominated. The delegate of South Dakota was absent and a vote resulted in a majority and minority, and it is not improbable that the con-vention mav compromise on Mayor ...

The full report of the committee on revision, appointed by the last Presbyterian general assem-bly, was made public this morning. Tho report will probably be submitted to the assembly, which meets in this city Thursday. It is possible the work of the committee will be sent to the Pre-icteric for their consideration without discussion, but that is hardly prob-able. The committee does not (latter itself w.tth the hope that it will meet the views of the majority of Presbyteries. It has aimed to make no alterations that would in any was impair the integ-rity of the reformed or Calvanistic sys-t-of doctrine taught in tiie confession. Two chapters have been inserted in the book, one relatiug to the work of the Holy Spirit, and the other to the uni-versal offer of the gospel. The greatest change in the book as was expected, takes place in the third chapter, which treats of the eternal de-crees. This has been recast rather than rewritten, and the expressions consid-ered ohjectiouable by so many have disappeared. One of tho changes which will meet the geueral approval is the confessional statement regarding the Roman Catho-lics. They are no longer called "papists" and "idolaters," but they are included among the adherents of false religions. KHICMS ANSWERED SATISFACTORILY. New York, May 20.
