Airioug the more importa lit quest ions discussed were the Niciirauguu canal, Cuban anuevution of Hawaii, foreclosure of Iacifi- railroads liy the government, deep water harbors at San Pedro, California, and Port Arthur, Texas, silver and irrigation. Never lie fore have so many questions affecting the Nation ut large been considered. On all the foregoing topics extended addresses were made and a division of sentiment was innuifcst on nearly all of them. Strong grounds were taken on liuwaiian annexation, Cuban independence and tlie free coinage of silver. The annexation of was championed by AY. A. Kinney of Honolulu. Cuban independence had numerous sponsors, chief among whom was T. M. Putters in of Colorado. The resolution introduced by him and endorsed by tlie convention asked the government to recognize the independence of Culm, and to ex tend active aid if neressary. Tlie hardest fight occurred on silver. Sound money men, chief among whom was E. Ar. Sinai ley of Minnesota, secretary of the Sound Money club and edtor of Sound Money, endeavored to prevent discussion of the question by a resolution prohibiting discussion of political subjects. Suspicions were aroused that the Round money men wanted to make political capital out of it, and he was opposed by many of the leading spirits of the congress, including President Jiry an. The vote was 244 to 48 in favor of memoralizing congress in favor of free coinage.

He favored getting tlie water out of tlie stock and placing the system on a bns-- . ness busis. The resolution was a compromise, having succeeded one railing for government ownership. Dryan said people would differ as to the propriety of govern ment ownership and this would lie used to defeat the ends of justice, but that they could lie united on foreclosure. The resolution was adopted. Resolutions were adopted asking for favorable legislation for irrigation, beet sugar industry, good roads, and calling for the establishment of a depart ment of mines in the cabinet. Tlie government was asked to begin tlie construction of tho deep water harbor at San Pedro, California, the eite selected by government engineers, and tlie charge made that Southern Pacific influences were being used to defeat the building of the harbor.
