They thought it would be such that Harrison would have been deserted right and left and that Blaine would have practically a walk over, But Harrison has held his ground and he fis, ifanything, in better shape than he was on Saturday. Having the full responsibility of his father’s honor resting upon his shoulders Emmons Blaine does not propose to take much risk. ‘He knows that it would almost kill his father if Benjamin Harrison was to beat him on a square vote in the convention. Clarkson and Quay are unable up tothe present time to satisfy young Blaine that his father is sure of the nomination. Indeed, to be sure of keep- ing Blaine in the fiela, they have been com- pelled to promise to take up some sort ofa list vote to show that Blaine’s strength can be clearly demonstrated before the bal - loting begins. The most important event of interest locally in st. Louis is the defeat of Chauncey I. Filley by R. C. Kerens for the National Committee- ship, which occurred at a meeting of the Mis- souri delegation this morning. Slowly the conviction is forcing itself upon every mind that the convention is to bea long one and nearly every one is preparing to spend all the week in the city of Minneapolis. The wildest rumors are afloat this afternoon as to the action likely to be taken on the con- tested delegates, and the Harrison people are already accusing the Blaine managers of in- tending to use the majority of that commit- tee in an unscrupulous effort to seat in the the floor for that purpose. *‘What purpose?“ said some delegates in the front Sour. Mr. Fassett expiained. Mr. Walker then took the platform and madea little speech in so low a tone that there were cries of **louder’* from all parts of the hall. The gavelwas presented in the names of the young Republicans of Nebraska, in memory ofthe homestead act. Mr. Walker described the wood of which the gavel was made and said that there were two silver coins in the * of — 1 1 T. Fassett, as temporary chairman, re- turned the thanks to the convention of the State or Neuvada. This slip of the tongue caused laughter. which, as Fassett adroitly turned, saying there was so much silver about the gavel that the mistake was ex- cusable. The Temporary Chalrman announced the order of business to be the presentation of the Credentials Committee report. Mr. Cogswell, Chairman of that committee, took the floor and said that the committee was not ready to report. He asked permis- sion forthe committee to sit continuously until it had completed its labors. That if the committee is attended by reasonable success itcan report before to-morrow noon. The privilege to sit continuously Was granted, Mr. Cogswell having taken his seat the Chairman announced that thereport of the Committee on Permanent Organization was next in order.

The committee also recom- mends that each delegation 2 an honorary vice - president and secretary. Mr. Lockwood moved the adoption of the report what do you find? That they have passed three bills. Let — Geena them. First, free tin and steel or plates on which tin is coated, taxed, the finished product free and the raw material bearing a duty. Second, free wool to the manufacturer and tariff cloth to the consumer. Third, free cotton ties to the cotton States and tariff hoop iron to all the rest of the States, Tnis is their symbol of tariff reform. Gentlemen of the conven- tion, how do you like it? This contest that you enter upon ie for the main- tenance of protection and reciprocity. But I want to say here that there isnotalineof the tariff bill that is not American; there is not a paragraph that is not patriotic; there isnot a page that does not represent Americanism and the_highest possibilities of American citizenship. [Applause.) We are to declare ourselves upon other questions here to-day. We are to deelare ourselves upon the question of a free ballot and a fair count, (Applause. ] No platform should have been made by a Republican convention that did not reiterate that great con- stitutional guaranty. No Republican speech should ever be made that did not insist—firmly and reso- lutely insist—that that great constitutional guaranty shall be a Hving Dirthright, not the cold formality of constitutional enactment; but «a living thing, which the poorestand humbiest may confiently enjoy and whichthe richest and most powerful dere not deny. (Great applause.) We can well leave to the Committee on Resolu- tions the duty of making «@ piatform that shall rep- resent the best thoughtsand the best ideas and the best wisdom ofthe Republican party. [Applause,) When we go out of this convention upon a true Republican platform we go out marching to victory, no matter what name we may carry on our banner. [Applause. ] The speech was greeted with prolonged cheering. At its close there were * cries of Douglass. and the venerable ex- slave came forward and bowed his thanks. When order was rest the Chairman recognized Chairman Bi m of the Com- mittee on Rules and Order of Business, who and on motion of Hon. M. H. De Youn of California the conven adjourned until 11 o’clock to-morrow m ng. —ͤ —ͤ— PLANS AND COUNTER PLANS, A Night Devoted to Plotting by the Brainy Men of the Factions. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 8.—There were secret influences at work last night in the West Hotel, which, if they could bave been uncovered, would have shocked the country, Mysterious meetings were being held behind closely guarded doors on every floor. All the leaders were engaged in these conferences until early in the morning, the work of rous- ing enthusiasm in the rotunda and in the streets being left entirely to the laymen. The crowd in the rotunda was as large and boisterous as ever and addresses by Senator Plummer of North Dakota and others from the staircase were wildly applauded, But not one of the big Blaine or Harrison men were anywhere to be seen. Platt; Clarkson, Quay and Fassett were in the Pennsylvania leader’s rooms plotting. They have staxed allatissue and if indefatigable work and brilliant scheming can win for them they will not fail, The Harrison leaders were preparing to meet every newturn of the great manipu- lators who are booming Blaine, and they will not be taken by surprise. Even the irrepress- ible Rhody Shiels, shouter-in-chtef for Har. rison from Indiana, who has practically lived in the rotunda, was lost to view for the time being. Ofcourse, the big conferences were those heldin Quay’s room and Michener’s room, but looking out of the windows over- Gov. Foraker will be the leaders —— the frozen truth.

The chief of President Harrison’s triumvi- rate in Minneapolis is Land Commissioner Carter. After consultation with other triumvirs, Michener and New, he summed up the situation in their headquarters — day just before leaving for the Convention for the day’s battle. Carterand Michener had been in conference several times previously since daybreak with Senator Cullom an her prominent Harrisonians, and has arrived at an ae as to the policy to be adopted before the Convention in regard to 32 tactics for the day. Mr. Carter said; We fully realize that the opposition to the President dare not gotoa vote between the President and Blaine, as the President would deteat him over 100 majority ona square vote. Underthese circumstances we expect that the opoposition will employ all means at their command to defer the ballot on candidates. We donot intend to inter- pose any objections to the employment of all the time that any reasonable person may consider necessary for the investigation of questions at issue on credentials and the perfection of permanent organization, but when it becomes obvious that dilatory tactics are being em- ployed in the convention and through its contests to prevent the convention from ex- pressing its free voice, weare satisfied that en if they | that Gen. was a sub-committee said this on Credentials ‘he inner Boar in the day | * N y * — ai son men, and 1 be made from 0 Mr. Lane of renn: mittee ji sos had been heard and de- could be furnished to the convention. 2205 oo n cided, sothata complete roll of substitute prevailed by a majority of four— Thereupon the committee took up the bama case a proceeded at once to consideration.

Every once and awhile some one ofthe chosen few who gained entrance to these gatherings would hurry out to seme other mysterious meeting with a secret mes- sage, and so it continued up to an early hour this morning. SUGGESTIONS OF BOODLE. The fact that H. H. Warner, the millionaire of Rochester, N. I., and H. G. Armour, also of New Vork, were being taken into some of the secret meetings ofthe Blaine managers, was much commented on by those who learned of it, and the impression prevailed that big money would be provided to defeat Harrison. Ex-United States Treasurer Huston was met by a Post-DISPATCH correspondent com- ing down the stairs ata late hour. He is for Harrison, and said that he believed the Pres- the convention will take the matter in hand and dispose of all frivolous and dilatory op- position in very short order. The support- ers of the President in this conven- tion rest in consciousness of their strength and are disposed to allow those who feel Cppeese tothe President's re- nomination to have — 1 opportunity to satisfy themselves that he is not only the strongest candidate, before the convention, dut that the people in the doubtrul states, through the press and otherwise, know that he is the only candidate seriously considered in connection with the nomination. Tho opposition has practically abandoned Blaine and is now skirmishing about in the endeavor to secure some candidate who will prove stronger inthe convention than they have been able to show Mr. Blaine. The utmost good nature exists and the President’s friends, knowing that they have took the platform and read that committee’s report. o paragrap pted, the rules of the Fifty-first Con were emphasized by Mr. Bingham in re and the conven- tion applauded. Mr. Cullom of minois asked if the printed copy of the rules distributed through the hall was correct. He was as- sured that with a single error they were. A North Carolina delegate also made some inquiries. Mr. McComas of Maryland, who rose to ask a question, was greeted with applause. The report was agreed to without division. Ihe Chairman then announced that the next business was the report Committee on Resolutions. Foraker took the floor to ask further time. He could not be convention only those delegates who are fav- orable to the nomination of the Plumed Knight. andit was adopted, and the chairman ap- pointed Samuel Fessenden of Con- necticut, ex-Senator Spooner of Wis- consin and Gen.

McKinley was seated. Then Mr. Spooner receded and Gen. Mahone followed him own the aisle to the platform, He shook hands with Mr. Fas- sett, while the convention rose and cheered again andagain.

Then he intro- duced the permanent chairman.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mion., June 8.—The dawn of to-day found no significant change in the Presidential situation. Both sides profess confidence which they do not feel. Gen. Al- ger is still in the field, and no less than half a Gozen other distinguished Republicans of national reputation are mentioned as possi- ble compromise candidates. No one knows when a ballot is likely to be cast, as the whole progress of the convention appears to be dependent entirely on the action of the Committee on Credentials. This organi- gation practically controls the political situation, as it is within its power incase that power is exercised unscrupu- lously to seat or unseat enough delegates to exercise the balance of power in the conven- tion. Itis very manifest that the proceed- ings of that committee are not to be charac- terized by that harmony which has been so strongly urged on all sides for the past twenty-four hours. The Blaine people have control of the committee, but the opposition has a very large and aggressive minority and every vantage point is contested stubbornly and eloquently. Ithas generally been the custom that the Committee on Credentials appointed on the first day of the convention has been prepared toreporton the opening of the second, but that is not the case to-day ;and no one knows— noteven the secret managers of the Blaine forces who arein the majority on the com- mittee—when the committee may deem it advisable to expediate its business and present its report. The Harrison people are maintaining this morning, with considerable show of plausibil- ity, that they have made gains within the past twenty-four hours in certain of the Northern and Eastern States; particular Stress is laid by them on the State of New York, where they claim at present that they will receive 29 votes on the first ballot. The claims of all the candidates and the estimates and indications carefully gleaned from all quarters, show that the Blaine and forces are ot almost equal strength atthistime. The Blaine people have the ad- vantage of organization, not only of the con- _. vention, but of the important committees; but the Harrison managers certainly succeed in keeping their forces well together to pre- vent the slightest appearance of demoraliza- tion. After a simultaneous canvass of State head - quarters by a special corps ofreporters at 1 pP. m. to-day, made for the Post-DIsPpaTcH, the following may be regarded as a close estimate: Blaine, 424; Harrison. 852; Alger, 43; McKinley, 40; scattering, 4. The knowledge that McKinley isto bechair man of thesonvention has added somewhat to the presidential boom of the Governor of the Buckeye State, which is being widely dis- cussed by the more conservative of the dele- gates, and this is evidently a movement in some quarters tospring hisname as a dark horse when the occasion seems to indicate the probability of sucha thing. If the bal- loting began to-day he would stand a good chance in case of a deadlock between Blaine and Harrison. Foraker alone stands against him in the Ohio delegation and favors Sher- man in case Blaine is dropped. Ex-Speaker Reed has a budding boom, which has grown greatly since the ovation tendered him by the convention yesterday. Jerry Rusk, Secretary of Agriculture, and John Sherman, W. B. Allison, Senator from Iowa, and others are mentioned as possible canvassing New striking individual in the hall just before the call to order was an ascetic-looking, sallow- com plexioned but withal keen-eyed and genial appearing man with iron gray bair, surmounted bya purple skull cap. He was seated near the Chairman’s desk and in his vicinity, but there was no ap- pearance of reverence or lack of filppancy in all the great crowd. This was Bishop Whip- ple ofthe Episcopal diocese of Minnesota, and he was thereto open the proceedings with prayer. The first cheering, as on yesterday, was when McKinley entered, and the ovation lacked none of its heartiness. The snowy- haired sombre-featured Fred Douglass was the next toevoke cheering. Illinois follow- ing the example of California brought in a standard to-day. It was a bright blue, with gold lettering insbribed, ‘‘Lincoln, Grant, Logan. Ingalls of Kansas, got a quick volley of loud recognition when he put in an appearance. Important action in prospect during the day began to be sus- pected when 1! o’clock arrived and few of the best known leaders could be seen in the crowds. Platt, Quay, Clarkson, Depew and many others of most prominence were miss- ing, although the hour of assembling had purposely been made late. Sewell of New Jersey had a troubled look. He was hurry- ing about looking fora member of the Com- mittee on Permanent Organization. There was no known reason the committee should not be ready, but the members apparently are nowhere to be found, and it was this circumstance as muchas any other that pre- vented the convention being called to order. Spopner and Payne of Wisconsin were hold- ingan animated colloguy in the Wisconsin delegation, but whenthey separated Payne denied that the Rusk boom was under consideration, Payne solemnly declared that it was only a pleasant little chat on his part with his Wisconsin colleague, The fact that Payne has been an outspoken opponent of Harrison and Spooner an earnest advocate of Harrison’s nomination caused some rumors that their talk was directed toward a com- promise on Rusk. At 11:30 o’ clock Powell Clayton, tall, slender and active with his empty sleeve adding to striking military aspect, was busily the situation among the delegation. One of the best informed of the New Tork men, (Murray) was authority for the statement that no decided change had been his York effected upon the Gothamites, and five New York men at least expected no ballot under to-morrow at least. Hahn, a well-known Sherman supporter, after much talking with fellow Buckeyersin the hall, made his way through the crowds over to the Pennsylvania corner near the stage. There he put in con- siderable time, and afterward interviewed the New York men. Gen. Fairchild of Wisconsin, upon whom the fate of free silver men in the platform committee seems to depend, was an object of general attention. He declared to a friend that he was with the silver men, all talk to the contrary notwithstanding, ‘‘but,’’ he added, smiling, I am one of the fellows, too. We are all for good men,’’ he continued, more seriously, ‘‘and you will find that the difficulties might be solved in due time and the financial plank be what it used tobe. As yet we have taken no action whatever, and will not until the convention adjourns this afternoon, possibly not then.’’ It was now close to noonand the hall was crowaed almost to it utmost capacity when Chairman Fassett pounded for order. THE CALL TO ORDER. It was 11:48 when Chairman Fassett rapped the convention to order. The Rt. Rev. H. B. Whipple, Episcopal Bishop of Minnesota, who had been sitting to the left of the Chair, with his head protected with a little purple skull cap, removed that covering and opened the proceedings with prayer, as follows, the delegates and most of the audience standing the while: romised to give wisdom * . .

They were given with a will. When the noise had ceased Gov. McKinley sald: THE ADDRESS. Gov. McKinley, speaking with that clear enunciation for which heis noted, began as follows: GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION—I thank you for the honor of presiding over the Ninth National Con- vention of the Republicans. A Republican conven- tion means something. They have always meant something. Republican conventions say what they mean and mean what they say. They declare principles and policies and purposes, and when intrusted with power they execute and enforce them. ICheers.] The first National Con- vention of the Republican party thirty-six years ago met in the city of Philadelphia. The platform of that convention reads to-day more like an inspiration than the affirmation of a political party. Every provision of that great instrument made by the fathers of our party is on the statutes of our country to-day. [Cheers] Every one of them has been em- bedied into public law and that cannot be said of the platform of any political organization in this coun- try orany other country inthe world. Whenever there is anything to be done in this country and by this country and for this country the Republican party is called upon to doit. [Applause] There is one thing that can be said of our organiza- tion which cannot be said of any other. Itcan look backward without shame or humiliation, and it can look forward with cheer and exultation. That can- not be said of any other political organization in the country. Gentlemen of the convention, we are here to make a platform and a ticket that will commend themselves to the [Loud cheers.] Whatever is done by this conven- conscience and the intelligence and the judgment of the people and we will do it. tion will meet the approval of the American people in November of this year, [Cheers.] We have already heard some of the notes of victory, for this is a Republican year. Rhode Island has spoken. {Applause.] Only yesterday Oregon spoke, electing three Republican representatives to the Congress of the United States. [Cheers] When we get through with this convention its conclusions will be the iaw of Republican action, as they will be the assurance of Republican victory. We are for a protective tariff and for reciprocity. [Great applause.) We propose to take no backward step upon either one of those great Republican principles, [Applause.]} We stand for a protective tariff because it repre- sents the American home, the American fireside, the American girl and the American boy and the highest possibilities of American citizenship. [Ap- plause.] We propose to raise our money to pay ex- penses by taxing the products of other nations, rather than by taxing the products of our own. heard by the convention for the applause. The chairman heard him, however, and said that ifthere was no objection further time would be granted, NATIONAL COMMITTEE. The roll was then calied for the names of members of the National Committee. They were announced as follows: Alabama—Passed. Arizona—William Griffith. Arkansas—Powell Clayton. California—M, H. De Young. Colorado—J. D. Sanders. Connecticut—Samuel Fessenden.

Mr. Clarksen’s hame was eted with pro- longedapplause. Mr. Manley’s name was applauded, and when it was learned through the announcement of the name of R. 6. Kerens from Missouri that the fight in that delegation had been settled this morning against the old committeeman, Chauncey 1. 8 3 there was also applause. Mahone’s name and several others were ap- plauded. Perry Carsons’ name was received and Harrison has ident would win, but that the fight being made was very bitter. I it had not been for the blundering man- ner in which the President distributed the Federal patronage this fight,’’ he said, **would never have occurred. At a late hour the secret conference in Gen. Michener’s rooms a rned, and the Harrison leaders all seemed much pleased at the outlook. They claimed that they would have 550 votes on the first ballot and that their strength would be sufficient to defeat the attempt which will be made by the Blaine men to seat the contested aelegations. Lou can see how confident we feel, said Rhody Shields. ‘‘if I wasn’t svre of our strength, I would not be making it easy here now. This is the first time I have let up since we came here.’’ What most particulorly pleased the Harri- son men was the news of their gains in New York. Yesterday they only counted on twenty- four votes inthe delegation, but last night they received positive information from De- pew and Hiscock that Harrison now had thirty votes in the delegation. The closeness of the contest between e iven the paar ope. They now believe that they hold the balance of power, and that in this event there is a prospect of Gen. Alger being the compromise candidate. This morning it was given out that the scheme of Clarkson, Platt and Fassett to break the Harrison vote in the first ballot is to have the different states vote for favorite sons. If they can dothis and prevent Har- rison’s homination on the first ballot they feel confident of ultimate success. The Har- rison managers were not alarmed by the news of this latest scheme. They claim that the delegates who are for the President can not be lured away from him even for one bal- lot by such a ruse, the object of it being too apparent. PLATT’S TELEGRAM TO NEW YORK. Hon. Thos. C, Platt last night telegraphed to New York the following: ‘*This has been a Blaine day. Iam more confident of his nomination than I have been at any time. We have resisted all of the des- perate attempts of the administration forces to break our lines and have made large gains in the Southand West. Mr. Blaine’s nomina- tion is as certain as anything can be that 18 in the future. At go elock not a shout had been heard in the hotel corridor and not a band had araded the streets. Over the desk of the ‘est Hotel yesterday morning was a colossal portrait of Benjamin Harrison. A twin pic- ture of James G. Blaine hangs beside it this morning. The followers of Mr, Blaine are not to be outdone by the Harrison boomers in any particulars. The fraternal association of the portraits, however, does not represent the feeling between the two factions. A great deal of bitterness has been created in the It was a matter of that the friends of the two candidates showed only a pleasant rivalry in their efforts to control the convention. The leaders of both sides used every effort to prevent il-feeling. Almost the first question which Gov. McKinley asked of a reporter who interviewed him on his ar- rival in Minneapolis was: Is there any bad blood?’’ He seemed relieved when he was assured at that time the surface indications seemed to indicate the best of feeling. There was earnest rivairy but even where delegates were divided, except where they were di- vided on the lines of old established local fac- tions, there was little or no ill feeling. All this is charged. The charges made against each other by the representatives of the two candidates and the struggle to control the doubtful vote has made much trouble, and to-day the Republican party at Minneap- olis is split wide open. Some of the cooler men high in party councils say that there is only one way to heal the breach—by the selection of a r meee candidate. This feeling is giving strength to the McKinley boom and has started several other side movements. AN ILL-TIMED REMARK. E.*B. Goddis created quite a sensation last night before the door of the Committee on Credentials by 8 Wm. 8. Murrill, the colored alternate at large trom New Jersey, . he had bought many a nigger like m. * The quarrel originated in an attempt of Goddis, who was elected delegate-at-iarge from New Jersey, to take the place of Hon. John I. Blair, whose alternate Murrill was. Mr. Blair Was unable to be at the conven- tion, and Murriil claimed the right to take his place. This claim was disputed by Gen. Sewell and Goddis. Murrillrose in the con- vention and attempted to state his side of the case yesterday morning, but Chairman Fassett ruled him out of order. The Com- mittee on Credentials decided the matter in favor of the colored gentleman, which so incensed Goddis that he yelled out to him in front of the committee door: 1 have bought many a nigger like you.’’ Murrill was on the point of es him, but restraining himself replied: Thank God, you have never bought me, You have not money enough.“ Quite acrowd gathered around the angry a large majority of the convention, are dis- posed to be magnanimous, while acquisitions are being made in 8 column.“ Mr. Michener said: ‘*Our ff 510 tested and tried votes for Harri- son. In New York this count includes only twenty votes, but I may say we expect to get thirty. The Minnesota delega- tion, which was supposed to be largely for Blaine, is divided,nine for Harrison and nine for Blaine. Delegate Jackson, who was set down as wavering, with leaning towards Blaine, an- nounces himself for Harrison and says he contemplates voting for him to a finish. HOW IOWA WILL VOTE. The Iowa delegation held a meeting behind closed doors this morning, which is likely to produce some changes in the vote ofthat State. Gen. Clarkson is bringing all his in- fluence to bear upon the delegation to swing votes of instructed dele from Harrison to Blaine res show and Olarkson’s influence is acknowledged to be potent, following his election by acclama- tion to the Nationai Committee. Only two of rd n- structed for Harrison. In the remainin nine the Administration. was indorse at the Delegates’ Oonvention, but the Oelegates are left uninstructed. Conse- quently, while .the delegation arrived in Minneapolis presumably Harrison voters, the uninstructed delegates would violate no pledge in voting for Blaine. Gen. Clarkson’s efforts to corral the instructed lowa voters for Blaine tu-day are likely to prove suecess- ful, owing to the fact that Iowa has always been a Blalne State, and that had it been known at the time the Delegate Convention was held that Blaine would be a candidate for nomination Iowa would have sent a solid Blaine delegation to Minneapolis. edic- tions are now being freely made that there will be a considerable change in the Iowa del- egation from Harrison to Blaine. Although this morning there are but two outspoken Blaine men among the delegates, four of the lowa delegation have just announced that in the event of Harrison and Blaine being elim!- nated fromthe race they would cast their votes for McKinley of Ohio; and they state further that a majority of the delegation favor McKinley as second choice. _— — CONTEST OVER CREDENTIALS, BOTH SIDES SCHEMING TO SECURE THE ADVAN- TAGE DELAYS THE REPORT, MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 8.—The Creden- tials Committee, with at least twelve hours’ incessant work awaiting it in the contested delegation cases of Alabama, Mlssissippi, Louisiana, Texas, South Carolinaand Utah, celebrated its first meeting bya big row, which resulted in the adjournment ot the committee meeting from 10:30 last night to 8a.m.to-day. The trouble arose through the unexpected stubbornness of the Chair- man of the committee, Wm. Cogswell of Massachusetts, who is a Harrison delegate, but who was thought to be so conservative that the Biaine members of the committee allowed him to be elected Chairman of the committee as a blind. It was intended counting on Cogswell’s easy-going disposition to fully confirm the action of the National Committee’s sub-committee, and seat the Blaine delegations from the contest- ant States. Then, when the Harrison ‘‘kick’’ should develop, the argument to be used was thatthere could have been no unfairness against Harrison shown by the Oredentials Committee, as the Chairman of the commit- tee was a Harrison man. But a hitch in this scheme occurred at the outset. The Blaine schemers in the Credentials Committee learned that a Harrison plot to defeat the Blaine majority in the committee had been hatched and Cogswell was one of its originators. A motion was to be made that a sub-committee of seven be appointed by the chair to investigate the contested cases andthat the Credentials Committee’s report to the convention should be based upon that sub-committee’s report. THE PLAN FAILED. As appointed by Oogswell, the latter would have been a Harrison committee sure enough. The motion was introduced, but aware of the plot the Blaine contingent romptly voted it down. Then leavi the 1. N bore. contest cases to be considered last t dentials Committee began its work of passing upon the credentials ot State and Territory delegations. At 10:30 p. m. last night Indiana had been reached and an adjournment was then taken as stated. This leaves all the contest cases to be con- sidered, and a member of the committee of the Republicans. REED AND M’KINLEY. These Two Stalwarts Are the Favorite Dark Horses To-Day. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 8.—The talk of Tom Reed as a compromise candidate is even stronger this morning than it was last night. If anything should occur to take Blaine out ot the fleld, the Maine delegation will present Reed’s name to the Convention. The friends of the ex-Speaker are so elated over the wonderful ovation he received yesterday, that they believe with Blaine out of the way he could be nominated. No one is more sur- prised than Mr. Reed over the ovation. He is nota delegate, and he did not intend com- ing to convention until Friday night, On Wednesday night Reed and Senator Wolcott dined together in Washington, and Wolcott urged him to attend the Convention: mistake of After the convention by segs A Wolcott met Reed andthe ex-Speaker said: ‘‘Lam glad I took your advice, Wolcott, and lowe you at least a dinner. | M’KINLEY t THE LISTS.

Keren Blected to the National Committee ~Btory ota Row. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 8.—The Missouri Gelegation had a meeting at 10 o'clock. Maj. Warner presided and when he announced that the delegation would proceed to vote by secret ballot for National Committeeman, ex-Congressman Niedringbaus rose to a ques- -tion of privilege. ‘‘I want to say to you, gentlemen, he said, that the charge Which is being circulated that I gave Mr. Filley $30,000 to secure my election is absol- Utely false. I never gave him so cents. Mr. Filley arose and said: I desire to say that the charge that I received free tickets to the convention is a lie circulated by some lirty pup. I got four for St. Louis and ten the country.’’ ' The ballot was then taken and resulted as follows: Kerens, 20; Filley, 16. Maj. Warner did not vote. His refusalto vote was by ad- Vice of both factions. As soon as the ballot Was announced by Sergeant-at-Arms Hobbs to the crowd on the outside, the assembled Missourians gave 4 rousing cheer for Kereus. In a few moments thé doors were thrown open and Mr. Kerens Was surrounded by his friends and warmly congratulated. The announcement of the votes was re- ceived insilence by the Filley men. Filley himself was much downcast and his support- ers were equally disappointed. They had worked like beavers last night to turn the Aide in his favor. Hamilton Daughaday, Al Bevis, ex-Congressman Niedringhaus, F. B. Brownell, Clark Sampson, Charles Wen- necker, Nathan Cole and C. D. Comfort were unremitting in their efforts to swing dele- tesin line for de ole man. They used every argument under the sun, but it was of use. The only open expression of revenge made after the vote was by Charles Turner, the ored delegate from St. Louis. Turner said that he would take every negro vote he could the party nominations through his in- nce. While the committee wasin session the Post- DISPATCH correspondent who was waiting on the outside, learned from one of the Mis- of a serious row which took place night between Maj. William Warner and Doane States District Attorney George . Reynolds. Warner, Reynolds, ex- Pongtessman Kinsey and 1. B.

C. Kerens, Farmer. Wade, Gen. Odin Guitar and other Harrison men, who were working hard to keep the President's forces in line, were much discon- certed by it. O Lust trace that rebel down right away, said Mr. Kerns and he and Gen. Guitar and the Post- DISPATCH correspondent went in search of Hale and Hawley. Hale could not be found but Hawley was finally located. Hawley is a young man and very frank in his manner. That report, he said, is not exactly true. We did receive a telegram to- night from Chillicothe stating that primaries had been held there at which nearly 90 per cent of the vote cast was for{Blaine, but Chillicothe is, of course, only one town in the district. What influences will the telegraphic ad- vises you have received have on your Mr. W Was asked. uin follow the instructions of the Dis- trict Convention but I propose to get out of them as soon as possibie.’ ‘*You expect then to hear from other parts of the distriet before a ballot is taken. „„es, and if a majority of the district decide to revoke your instructions for Harri- son, you will vote for Blaine?’’ ‘*That is my intention,“ „Mr. Hall will do likewise?’’ think he will.“ Gen. Guitar was very indignant over this flop and said: It John B. Hall is trying to get in a position to vote for Harrison he 1s playing traitor and I would tell him soto his ace. Kerens did not think that the prospective flop of Hall and Hawley to Blaine would have much effect upon the election for National committeeman. Both Hall and Hawley were against him anyway. We figure,’’ he said, „that we have twenty out of the thirty-four delegates and while every means is being taken to influence them the other way, we feel confident that they will remain true. Nothing is too despicable for Filley to resort tointhisfight. He hopes to go in on the Blaine sentiment, but the Missourians will will not, I believe, be blinded.’’ Mr. Kerens is confining his efforts almost exclusively tokeeping the Missouri delega- tion inline for Harrison. He does not ap- pear to be doing much work on the outside. His particular friend, Gen. Powell Clayton, however, is right inthe councils of the Har- rison men atthe West, and working like a Trojan. Filley is working just directly op- osite to Kerens. He is giving very little at ention to the Missour! delegation himeelf, but bas enlisted the services of the New York men, Walcott of Colorado, and other Blaine leaders to dothe work of proselytizing for Blaine. He feels that if he can get a major- ity of the delegation for Blaine that he will be all right. The reception of the New York and Illinois delegations by the Missourians late last night proved a most lively gathering. Several of the New York and Illinois delegates made speeches for Biaine. They informed the Mis- sourians that he was the only man who could carry New York and Illinois for the Republl- cans. His control over the Irish vote was particularly dwelt upon, and the Missourians were charged not only with jeopardizing Republican success in New York and Illinois by sticking to Harrison, but absolutely de- stroying all hope of victory in their own State. These charges made many of them mad and Judge Burton of Nevada mounted a chair to makeareply to them. He spoke with great animation and eloquence and was cheered to the echo. do not wish to question the sincority of the motives of any of our visitors from New York and Illinols,’’ he said, dut I do say that there is a strong feeling not only in New York but in other states that the fight being made for that eminent statesman, J. G. Blaine, isnot a fair nor an open one. Never in public speech or in private talk have I ever said anything but in praise of Mr. Blaine, butIdo say, now and here, that I believe that the big men in the Republican party who are espousing his cause are og using his fair fame as an ambuscade to kill off Pres- dent Harrison. If not, why do they act as they are? We haveno assurances that he is a candidate, and when we ask you gentle- men what assurances you have the reply is that Tom Platt can give us that assurance. If he can why does he not doit? It is he and those other big men in whom we ought to have faith who are most endangering the Republican party by their seeming duplic- ity.’’ Xx-Congressman Niedringhaus sprung a race issue atthe meetingof the Missourians yesterday. He practically announced that unless Filley was selected as his own suc- cessorthe Germans in St. Louis would bolt the party. Kerens, of course, is looked upon as representing the Irish element, and Niedringhaus claimed thatthe preference of the Germans, who numbered ten to one over the Irish in the Republican party, was not heeded they would be heard from. This,“ said Mr. Kerens this morning, in commenting upon the ex-Congressman’s speech, shows you what kind of afightis being made. Nothing is too mean for them. Of course I consider Niedringhaus’ threat as utterly absurd. 1 — LEAGUE OLUBS. Demonstration Last Night in Convention Hall. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 8.—Over a thou- sand Republicans atténded the mass-meet- ing held in the Convention Hall last evening under the auspices of the State League of Re- publican Clubs. Seats on the platform were occupied by nearly all the leaders attending the convention. At no time was there any lack of enthusiasm, John J. Goodman, President of the Minne- sota State League, called the meeting to order. With a few introductory remarks he presented Hon. John M. Thurston of Nebraska, President of the National League of Republican clubs. Mr. Thurston was given an ovation when he stepped upon the platform, and it was some time before he could begin his speech. Heopened with a reference to the exciting scenes of the Oonvention, and pointed to predictions that out of the pas- sionate personal preferences of individuals at the Convention would grow discord, dis- appointment and defeat. ‘‘Let us not worry on this score, he said. ‘‘Out of this Re- publican contest will comea grand cyclone of enthusiasm that will sweep away once and forever every cade Democratic the pathwa Continuing, — was not a convention; League was ready to receive the nominee 22 he ment an and give ~~ its ; ense sup ® great campaign, 0 did not believe and never would Delle ge that there r any political vendetta within the ranks of the — Eee party.

He referred to ex-Speaker Reed’s course in the last Con- gress and gave it his heartiest approval. He denounced the Democratic party as an organization committed to a policy of ob- struction to American progress, and in con- clusion gave Cleveland and Democracy a scathing denunciation. The Marquette Quartet of Chicago then sang several political selections and with cheers the meeting adjourned. was given THE PLATFORM. How to Dispose of the Silver Issue is a Question. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 8.—A question fréquently heard now is, ‘‘Has this conven- tion the courage to make an outspoken plat- form, sound on all economic questions, and put upon it as a candidate such a man as John Sherman?’’ It would be a refreshing experience in politics,’* said a well-known journalist, to have a national campaign conducted on this line. It would educate the people to a broader view of the ends of government and would win, because the people are intelligent. ’’ But the silver States are trying to defeat such a course and a compromise is all that is looked for. The difficulties surrounding this subject and the contests are pretty sure to delay the convention. The silver sub- committee on Resolutions held its first session late last night. Nothing was accomplished and no report will be ready before to-morrow for the fall committee. The silver men consumed most of last night’s session, and they are pleased with the attention with which their associates listened to the words political and economical addressed to them. Senator Jones of Nevada, spoke for an bour, and it is said his address was a strong presentation of his side of the ques- tion, The Senator never speaks unless he is thoroughly prepared, and has carefully con- sidered what he will say. Last night he was tull of his subject. Considerable of the argument was devoted tothe silver question per se, ahd on this point eis well nigh im- possible that anything could be added to what has been said and written during the past year. IN AW YORE Gen. Tracy Believes in Harrison—Hint to Warner Miller. New Tonk, Juno 8.—Gen. B. F. Tracy, Secretary of the Navy, is at the Gilsey House. He hasbeen besieged by an army ofreporters and personal friends. Russell Harrison and he breakfasted, together at 9 o’clock. What do you think of Blaine’s resigna- tion?’’ he was asked, do not care to discuss that matter, said the General, witha smile, nor dol care to make a statement as to who his probable successor will be. As you know, I was notin Washington when the Secretary resigned and I am consequently not a bit bet- ter posted on the subject than the newspaper reading public.“ Gen. Tracy was pretty nearly as close as the proverbial oyster when asked his opinion as tothe probable result of the Minneapolis convention. „How does the fight look?’’ Well, I think President Harrison will get the nomination; but I do not base that belief on the accounts I get of the struggle up there from the daily newspapers.’’ The accounts are very conflicting, they not?’’ be Blaine newspapers figure one way andthe President's friends have no trouble in showing by cold figures just how he will get the nomination.’’ Have you heara of the rumor that you are tobe asked by President Harrison to take Mr. Blaine’s place?’’ asked the reporter. No, I have not. Lam afraid that is news- paper talk. Mould you accept the position if the Pres- ident offered it to you?“ Lou must excuse me, as I cannot answer that question. Wait till the President so honors me and then it will be in order to give an answer to the public. Members of the Union League Club who are friends of ex-Senator Warner Miller are very much aroused over the attitude Mr. Miller has assumed in favor of Blaine at Minne- apolis. While they appreciate his reluctance to support Mr. Harrison, they insist that he does not represent the sentiment of his friends by the support of Blaine. The anti-Platt sentiment runs very strong inthe Union League Club and the Blaine movement is simply regarded as a very desperate attempt to beat Mr. Harrison. A sample ofthe dispatches sent by leading members of the club is the following: Don’t make the mistake of voting for Blaine. Your friends are not for Blaine. They are for Harrison or a third man. Blaine could not carry this State. THE DEMOCRATIC VIEW. Col. Fellows Discusses the Fight at Min- neapolis. WASHINGTON, June 8.— Col. John R. Fellows; one of the Tammany members of the House, had a beautiful smile on his face as he des- cribed today the situation at Minneapolis from a Democratic point of view. He was sure the fight vetween the Blaine and Harrison forces would lead to internecine war, bitter and lasting, through which would come Demo- cratic victory.’’ ‘*But won't there be an ony bitter fight at Chicago, Colonel?’’ he was asked. No, there is nothing to call for strife in our ranks. The Chicago Convention will be a body of representative Democrats, whose sole aim will be nominate ‘a winning ticket. Of course 1 can’t predict what ticket will be. Sofarasthe New York delegates are concerned every one knows that 137 — for Senator Hill as long as his name is before the convention, he will re- ceive their loyal support. The stories that he has alrea — da transfer of his strength to this candidate or the other are utterly false. CONVENTION NOTES. Fred Douglass Hustlint for a Seat in the Hall—Personal.

A mass meeting inthe interests of woman suffrage is to be hela to-night and Miss Anthony is among the speakers. William Blair, a Blaine . from Aurora, III., met with an almost fatal acci- dent yesternay at the Nicollet House. He arrived in the city Monday, ahead of the Blaine delegation and registered. Yesterda a brass band heading the delegation parade in front of the hotel. Blair saw the Aurora contingent and became enthusiastic. He thought the balcony was a tin roof and mounting the window sill, leaped out. There was a crash of glass anda fiowof blood and the crowd was stupefied. Blair dangled from the hole in the glass roof and soon became exhausted from loss of blood, O. W. Putman, editor or the Aurora Daily Blade, soon reached Blair, who was rapidly approaching unconsciousness, and dragged him out of the hole tothe window. Then he was placedon a bed and Dr. Sherwood of Superior called. The cords and veins in his left wrist were severed and the member hung helplessly by his side. He was also bruised internally. This morning, however, he was resting quietly. Had the roof given away Mr. Blair would not have a voice in the conven tion to-day. There was a scene like that which greeted ex-Speaker Reed yesterday when the Com- mittee on Permanent Organisation an- nouhced the name of McKinley for Chairman. Fessenden of Connecticut, Spooner and Ma- hone were appointeda committee to escort McKinley tothe chair. As McKinley was es- corted tothe stand there was a deafening shout and the applause lasted several min- utes. Seeretary Thompson of the Committee on Platform. says that the committee will not get through with its work until late this af- ternoon. According to Mr. Thompson the members of the Minnesota delegation flooded from Harrison to Blaine this morning. Mr. Frost of Massachusetts says his dele- gation has agreed to go solidly to McKinley or Reed it the first ballot does not nominate. Judge Connor, a delegate from Iowa, — Gs that while great pressure is being brought upon that delegation by the Blaine element here, yet it is being deluged with telegrams from farmers all over the State to stand by Harrison. Editor George W. Childs led a band of ladies up the center aisle as the band was playing Forever and Forever.“ The news- paper correspondents gave Mr. Childs a round of applause. The wife and son of Gen. Husted of West Chester, N. V., ‘arrived in Minneapolis last night. Atthat time the General’s condition was not so favorable, and two trained nurses were with him during the night. This morn- ing he was reported being improved. A delicate compliment to Speaker Reed is the report of the Committee on Credentials adopting the rules of the House of Represent- atives of the Fifty-first Congress for the gov- ernment of the convention and there- by indirectly approving the par- liamentary ethics of Mr. Reed.

MAY TOUCH OTHER CITIES, The Marine Engineers Taik of Spreading Their Strike. The rooms of the Marine Engineers were crowded to-day. It had been said that Samuel Gompers, the President of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, was coming here to take hold: of the strike, and many ofthe engineers came to see him. Mr. Gompers didn’t come, however, and the engineers held their meeting with only their own leaders to address them. All the talk to-day was ve enthusiastic but there were some bitter things said about the pilots, whose lack of sympathy withthe strikers ig its greatest weakness. The rooms ofthe pllotsare directly acrosa hall from the headquarters of the Marine Engineers on Fourth and Chestnut streets, but the members of the two organizations do not visit each others rooms or in way affiliate. A leading member of the Pilots’ Association said, while the meeting of the engineers was going on: It wouldn’t do a minute for the pilots to let the men who run the lower deck believe that they can control the boats or stop river traffic when the comp s do not accede to their demands. All the boats the engineers aretryingto tie up will be out, and we'll keep on doing it. William J. Foy, one of the Executive Com- mittee of the strikers, is wor day an night at the headquarters and down on the levee, to strengthen the weak men of the or- ganization and persuade the non-union men to stay off the anchor Line boats.

This season is dull every year. It is what the iron men call y time. The high water, too, has made business bad. The strikers understand this and head- t quarters to-day there was some rueful com- meats upon this advantage the company had. To-day the strikers bay an a essive campaign along the Levee by mak tive and loud declarations that the Anchor Line boats were employing incompetent engineers to tide them over the strike. This statement was resented by Capt. Mason and the commanders of the Anchor Line boats, who say they are careful to 1 u Line mane in generals noted for the caution it exer- cises as to the character of the men it puts in responsible positions. A REPORTED DESERTION UNVERIFIED. A * roustabout reported this afternoon he steamer City of Monroe of Anchor Line which pulled out the Chestnut street wharf at last night was tied up at Caron- delet near the Carondelet grain elevator. He alleged that her crew deserted her as soon as she landed at Carondelet for freight, and that the managers are now endeavoring to collect a crew to take the boat South. The Carondelet elevator people deny that the boat was de- serted there by the crew and tied up at the place, and the Carondelet police also rapes that the boat is not tied up at any place along the river front there.

BRISTOL, Tenn., June 8.—Newsof another horrible Scott County (Virginia) murder has reached here. Berry Starnes, a substantial farmer, was called to his front door at mid- — — by three masked men. At first he refused to go, but was prevailed upon when they told him his son, who lives a few miles away, was very ill and needed his aid. When he reached the door the murderers discharged three loaded pistols towards him. The door was shattered to pieces and the man was in- stantly killed. The wife and daughter were quietly compelled to hand over their money, which was but little. In order to stine the noise the murderers had wrapped their feet in carpet. In returning to their homes the rags and strings dropped off and fell by the wayside. Next morning they were traced by this means to the house of one Pen- dergrass, who is charged with being an ac- cessory to the awful crime. MANY SHOTS EXCHANGED.

A Hot Fire in a Paint and Oil House Early This Morning. A fire alarm turned in at 4:30 0’clock this morning brought five engines toa fire that was burning on the second-story of the Platt & Thornburgh Paint & Glass Co.’s store, corner of Seventh and Franklin avenue. For thirty minutes five streams of water fought the fire, but as it was being constantly fed by olland varnish, the flames were not checked. Fearing that the fire would reach the ground floor where over 100 barrels of oll were stored, a second alarm was turned in and five additional engines responded and were held in reserve in case of an emergency. After a hard fight, the fre was ex- tinguished shortly after 5 o’clock. The fire originated onthe second floor, and is sup- posed to have been caused by a spontaneous combustion. Asthe buliding was being re- roofed, it only added kindling to the flames that sustained a loss to the properties of something like $50,000. BELIEVED TO BEA HOAX. An Idiotic Joker Who Gave the Authori- ties Considerable Trouble. A floating bottle was taken from the river at the foot of Broadway, Carondelet, to-day and turned over to the police. It was found to contain a message from some one who may have been lost in the flood. The message, which was written in red ink on two small pieces of paper, evidently torn from a notebook, could not be olearly deciphered, but with the aid of a glass, Police Clerk Guion was able to make out the following: East Sr. Lovis, May 16. Dran Frienps—When you find this bottle you will know that Jam deserted on Gabarie Island and will drown, that is if the Post-DisPatcu Kelief Boat don’t come and get me. J. KENNER.

Boston, June 8.—The colored citizens of Boston held a mass meeting in Tremont Tem- pie last night amid stirring addresses, and adopted strong resolutions denunciatory to the outrages upon members of their race in the South and in New York, and demanding the punishment or the perpetrators. They also demand that the word ‘*white’’ be eliminated from the Chi- nese exclusion bil. Among the speakers were Bishop A. Grant of Texas and George W. Bryant of Sst. Louis. Mr. Bryant said in part, we have met dere not to condone wrong or shteld overt acts committed by members of our race against the States or municipalities where they live. We are here for the purpose of r against their promiscuous lynch- ng, burning, etc., whether it takes place in the South or in New York State. If the Re- publicans cannot take this mighty giant coercion by the throat and throttle it to death now, the negro had better leave that party. [Immense and pro- longed cheering.| The praying time is over and the reaping time is near at hand. Tne result may be the extermination of the negro race, but there will be found a new Garrison, Sumner, Lincoln, and if we cannot find that class up ‘this way to lead us,then there will be found a black John Brown in the South.’’ [Great cheering. | Mr. Edwin T. Walker of Boston said: ‘‘The time for fighting hascome. You will never save our people from being murdered in the South unless you get off your knees and Kill the men that did it.“ [Great cheering. | of Excitement in San Domingo.

Almost anything seems to have rheumatism-fighting properties, for in South- ern Michigan a pebble in the pocket serves to ward ito A New Hampshire cure for sore throat is to wear about the neck a stocking, in the toe of which a potato has been tied. ‘According to a Maine belief, anutmeg pierced and hung ona string around the neck prevents boils, croup and neuralgia. The effect ofa Connect- icut wooden nutmeg is unknown. Among the negroes the most striking reme- dies are to be found. Witness the combina- tion of cure and spell, described under the name of ‘‘conjuring a ‘tooth, in Alabama. Go into a lonely part of the woods with one of the opposite sex, who is to carry an ax. The bearer of the ax chops around the roots of a white oak, cuts ot with a large jack- knife nine splinters from the roots of a tree, then cuts around the roots of the aching tooth with the knife, dips each of tbe nine splinters in the blood flowing from the cuts and finally buries the splinters at the foot of the tree from which theycame. While doing this the operator repeats something you don’t understand, which is a charm, From the same looality comes a curious remedy for chills and fever. Take the skin from the inside of an eggshell, go to a youn persimmon tree three days in succession an tie a knot in the skin each day. On the eastern shore of Maryland Dillous- ness is cured by boring three holes in a care- fully selected tree and walking three times around it, saying, Go away, bilious.“ It is a matter of utmost im portance whether the one who performs the 4 walks with the sun oragainst the sun, but no one knows which is the approved direction. BLINDED BY A SPIDER’S BITE. The Last Thing She Saw Was the Hani of the Doctor That Lanced Her Eve. In the Almshouse of Kings County in Flat- bush there are many old women, some of whom have seen the light of an earlier cen- tury, who delight in gathering around the stove at nights and telling one another queer stories. These stories generally die away in weakened memories and rarely go outside the long brick walls. There is a woman there who tells how she was dancing on her 16th birthday, when her brother burst into the room with the news of Waterloo. And there isa woman who saw Washington, and yet another who picked berries where the Brooklyn municipal buildings now stand. Not long ago a visitor to this institution re- marked to one of these women: guess there are many inmates here who have had some remarkable experiences.’’ „es, indeed, the old woman answered. ‘‘There’s Annie Krozan, poor woman, stone blind from a spider’s bite, Did you ever hear the like of that before?’’ This visitor, in telling about these very old women, repeated the story of the spider’s bite, and it spread ail over until it reached the newspapers. Yesterday Annie Krozau told the story herself. She lay on a cot in the basement of the almshouse, where she has been lying for nearly eight years. All that could be seen of her was a white and wrinkled face half hidden in a white hood. **T came here in 1882; sir, she said, ‘‘when Iwas only 65 years old. I had as fine and strong a pair of eyes then as a girl of 16, but now I’m all in darkness and everything is black before me. Well, sir, | was married for the second time in 1865 to John Krozan, who was a sailor. After we were married, he went to sea and never came home again. The ship, they told me, went down and all were lost. 1 never knew the name of the ship or the owners. Well, sir, things went badly with me, and at last I had to come here. Now, it was one summer night, ve 1 maybe eight, maybe nine years ago, an was lying hereon this very cot. Iwas just dozing off when I felt a sting in my left eye. I thought it was a mas- quito, so I took my handkerchief and brought it down right hard on my eye. Then 1 fell asleep. The first thing in the morning 1 looked at my handkerchief, and there, as I hope to see heaven, was a big, black spider crushed dead. The next day my eye began to pain and swell, and when i couldn't bear it any longer they sent me to the hos- pital. They put poultices on the eye, but that didn’t help it any, and soon the pain —— tothe right eye. Iwent to the hos- Pp talregularly, and one day a young doctor needa my righteye. It didn’t hurt much, but I felt him cutting something, and his hand over my face was the last thing I ever saw. Iwas stone blind. He never believed the spider story, but it was either that, sir, or his lance that blinded me. That is her story, and the matron of the in- stitution and all the other inmates believe it. Mrs. K. A. Thompson of 169 Willoughby av- enue, Brooklyn, is interested in Mrs. Kro- zan’s case and istrying to have her removed from the basement to a better room in the in- stitution. Mrs. Thompson says that Mrs. Quay, the matron, all the officials and four- fifths of the inmates are Catholics and that Mrs. Krozan is a Protestant. ATHLETIC GIRLS. Pretty Scenes in a Boston School of Phys- ical Culture. Anyone who thinks that physical develop- ment and training are likely to make girls **masculine’’ will do well to ask to be ad- mitted to the normal-school of gymnastics at atime when the young ladies are at their work, says the Boston Transcript. The Listener saw some hundred of them the other Gay (there seemed asmanyas a hundred, though he did not count them), and he perceived nothing masculine about them except their instructor, who was a man, and one student, who wasaman,too. In the gallery there were two young gentlemen as spectators;. and when, dnring a recess, the giri students were amusing themselwes in all sorts of ways, and making calls upon one another, running laughingly hand in hand as they aid so, one of these young men remarked, ‘‘Not much like boys, eh?’’ and the other said, Not much!’’ And yet some of their exercises were not unworthy of the-strength and sup- pleness of a man. thing that particularly pleased was the class running. The several times around the hall, ana’s huntresses, gracefully and beautifully. One might have ‘supposed that skirts, stays and generations of indoor stupor had put an end forever to the ability of women to run swiftly and gracefully, but it is apparent that this art, as well as many other beautiful ath- letic thin s, was only dormant. A little fol- lowing o nature brings it all back. There are many movements inthe Swedish system of physicaltraining which are not beautiful in themselves, but it is explained that they are merely means to an end, and are prac- ticed for the sake of the reactions they pro- duce upon the system.

From the Denver Times. At a little gathering of men in Coroner Chivington’s office, at Walley & Rollins’ undertaking rooms, where the gayety that is common to such places was in full blast, the question as to the significance of the ex- pression ‘‘suicide weather’’ was broached.

If it should be McKInrtsy or REED, the issues would be the force bill and the orig- inal McKinley bill without the reciprocity amendment foisted upon it by BLAINE’s influence. On such issues a repetition of the overwhelming Democratic victory of 1890 would be pretty well assured, It would be the people against the trusts and tariff barons clutching at power to make elections a farce and to rule the land re- gardless of any and all adverse majorities. li it should be SHERMAN what fun the Democrats would have with his ridicu- lous flops and contradictory speeches on every financial or revenue question mooted since the war! His personal record would put his party on the defensive for every political blunder it has ever committed, every unpopular thing it has ever done or attempted and is now ashamed of, from the acts of the Billion Dollar Congress back through the Bland-Allison bill vetoes, the counting in of Haygs, the force bill of GRANT’s administration, which BLAINE helped the Democrats to defeat, and the contraction policy which brought on the great panic of 1873 and the succeeding years of paraly- sis. With SHERMAN at the front it would be a fight of the whole country against the sharks of Wall street. But if it should be the only other“ dark horse’’ possibility who is not as weak as either of the three already mentioned— if it should be ALLISON of lowa—the situ- ation would be about as menacing to the Democrats as if BLAINE were the nomi- nee. ALLISON is a Western statesman with a long, clean and exceptionally popu- lar record fora Republican. He has done more than any other Republican to save his party from plutocratic blunders that would have lost it every Western State. If his old friend and adviser, Senator Breck, had lived to supply him with back- bone enough to stand with PLUMB in the McKINLEY bill fight, they might have warded off the great defeat of 1890 and se- cured much plainer sailing for their party in 1892 The chief objection to ALLISON is that he sometimes lacks the courage of his convic- tions and is too apt to be controlled bya party caucus rather than by his own head and heart. But he might recover for his party some wavering Western States that would be lost to it forever if either of the other prominent dark horses“ were nominated. —_—— — A SCRAMBLE FOR SPOILS. The Minneapolis muss presents an in- structive insight into the principal reason for the continued existence of the Repub- lican party and the objects and purposes of its leaders. It becomes plainer as the contest pro- gresses and differences between the oppos- ing factions are sharply defined that the fight is merely for the spcils. The dis- appointments’’ are ranked against the ‘‘appointments,’’ the ‘‘outs’’ are slash- ing the ‘‘ins,’’ the office-holders are de- fending their places from the assault of the office-seekers. The interest centers in the struggle of the Harrison men to hold their forces. Among the bosses it is not so much BLAINE or HARRISON as anti- HARRISON or HARRI- son. It is evident that the prime object of the men who are leading the Blaine move- ment is to defeat HARRISON. They are not working for the benefit of BLAINE or the party, but for their selfish interests. The name of BLAINE is only a name to conjure with. They are merely playing upon the love and enthusiastic admiration of plain Republicans efor BLAINE to effect their personal ends. No other name in the Republican party could be used for such a purpose with any degree of success, and the remarkable results achieved with itshow whata magnificent hold BLAINE has upon his party. When the Blaine enthusiasm has accomplished the defeat of HARRISON the leading antis will readily accept any candidate who willcome totheir terms, and it is highly probable that BLAINE thoroughly under- stands them, and while lending himself to the humiliation of HARRISON is prepared to : save his own credit by another stroke should the turn of events demand it. Whether HARRISON can be defeated de- pends now solely upon the strength of the patronage cement which holds his sup- porters. To his bosses he represents merely theirown places and the control of the offices. His strength lies in the fact that no other man represents this as cer- tainly to them ashe does. The difficulty of agreeing upon a compromise candidate is the difficulty of adjusting the spoils claims of the two factions which now divide the convention leaders. As for the railroad and protection barons whoare hanging tothe skirts of either side, they are forany one who will give them money-making. privileges and will offer a fair hope of victory. That the Republican party is the party of pelf and that it is run by the bosses for the spoils it yields was never more sig- nally illustrated than by the greedy scram- ble for the control of nn at Minne- apolis. ra ath = ‘(WEALTH and | —— are noble, but other Republicans wo we — Bee eo — ö —ůůů and Mr. 5 REED is al- ways frank in gp aw A the doctrines and designs of his How many let the cat out of the bag by setting up the nobility of wealth and confessing that liberty has only the spéctaéular quality of 4 magnifi- cones to commend itt, 4 THE Silk organ is for anybody to beat BLAINS, as usual, and therefore it drops Harrison and ‘*whoops it up’’ for SHER- MAN as a dark horse“ about every other day. But to-day it seemed to be confused in its mind as to whether this was its Har- rison day or ite Sherman day, so it fa, vored the adoption of the one-term idea by the Republican party in one article, and in another warned its party that dark horse’’ nominations always bring disaster upon a party. But as it cited POLK, Pino and GARFIELD as the „dark horse“ nominees it referred to, this must be classed as one of its Sherman days, since Polk, PrerRce and GARFIELD were all elected, and the real intent of the writer was evidently to present an argu- ment for, disguised as a warning against, „dark horses. It isa trying time for organ grinders. Ir should be remembered that if only two candidates are voted for in the Republican Convention at Minneapolis the contest will be decided by the first ballot. Unlike the practice of Democratic Conventions where a two-thirds vote is required to nominate, a bare majority isenough. It is not yet quite certain whether or not General ALGER’S name will be presented. Ifitis he will probably hold the balance of power and thus be able to dictate terms or bring about the deadlock so wistfully looked for by Senator SHERMAN and perhaps by Mr. McKINLEY. In these circumstances the Michigan man’s course is naturally a matter of great interest and much specula- tion. —_———_o— —0_—=—_—__—-_--_—- Mr. CLARKSON did not show his usual discretion when he told ELLIOTT SHEPARD in confidence that Mr. BLAINE’s resigna- tion was unwise at this juncture. SHEP- ARD will talk to any man who will talk to him, and being a good man he always tells the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. — . — — Ir is not at all strange that McKINLEY should swing to the Harrison ice wagon in preference to the Blaine band chariot. The Ohio statesman can not be expected to entertain pleasant feelings towards the Republican leader who held up his tariff folly to public scorn by smashing a hat over it. —ͤꝛ —̃— — — THE Harrison forces in Minneapolis are demoralized because their leaders are men of fourth-rate ability as manipulators and wire-pullers.

It Is a bill wholly mischievous, involving an unwarranted and very dangerous Federal interference with the business of the people. The Republicans in Congress so regard it, while the majority of the Democrats in their caucus have voted to exclude it from consid- eration, rightly deeming even its discussion as a serious proposition hurtful to the country. Nevertheless, when the Alliance men and a group of wilder-minded Democrats undertook to force the measure to de- bate the Republicans voted solidly with them for that mischievous motion. The Republicans do this, of course, as they voted for the consideration of the free-coin- age measure, against their consciences and in violation of their convictions, because they think that by sodoing they can gain some petty partisan advantage. They are willing to imperil the interests of the country’s business and to encourage the wildest of demagogic propagandism if only they can put the Democrats in a hole. Their course is unstatesmanlike, puerile and unpatriotic. It is unworthy of men who profess regard for principles or corcern for business stability. It is only worthy of petti- foggers who play the game of politics for points in utter disregard of the public weal, 0 Day Leaking. From the Springfield (Mo.) Democrat.

Two Women Claim That Mrs. Miller Told Them That Vail Threw Her Down Stairs—Others Claim She Was Drunk and Fell Down—A Hospital Patient’s Forged Checks. Mrs, Ellen Miller died at the City Hospital this morning of injuries received at her home. 3831 North Twenty-first street, on the 28a of last April. Two or three women living in the same house claimed that Mrs. Miller had represented to them that one Millard Vall bad knocked her down stairs, and on their statements Vail was arrested on a charge of assault to kil) and he has been in jaflever since. When asked this morning what he knew or would be willing to say in regard to the manner in which Mrs. Miller was hurt Vall answered that he was asleep when Mrs. Miller fell down stairs, and therefore knew only what was afterwards told him. 1 used to board with the Miller family when Mrs, Mill- er's husband was living.“ said Vall, and was still in the habit of going there and mak ing myself at home in the house.

I lay down on the lounge and when I woke up Mrs. Miller was in bed in the same room—she had but one room—and Mrs. Buckley and another woman were there. They talked soloudand made such a fuss that Icouldn’tsleepand got up. Then Mrs. Buckley and I had some words and I left. I didn’t know then that Mrs. Miller was hurt and the first I learned of it was about a quarter of an hour afterwards when I went back tothe room. Mrs. Buckley and her friend were gone and Mrs, Miller was lying on the lounge. She had a black eye and lasked her how she got itand she said that she fell down stairs. Istaidonly a little whileand then left, and I haven’t seen Mrs. Miller since. No, Ican’t remember what Mrs. Buckley and I quarreled about, but I Know that it was not about Mrs. Miller's black eye. I was taken sick at my stomach while in the room and I suppose that the women were mad at me for making a mess, or it may be that Mrs. Buckley wanted to take me home with her. I boarded with her, and Mrs. Miller had sent for her tocome and take me home because I was drunk.’’ Vallisacripple, and has been one since he was a baby.

Blaine ended his services as Secretary of State under President Garfield, he met the late Don Piatt in New York. Mr. Blaine informed Mr. Piatt that he had issued from the State Depart- ment a document ‘‘that ought to be in the — of every free trader in the United 1 Mr. Blaine to be a protectionist, Mr. Piatt asked why he wished it circulated. It is a powerful array of facts, Blaine en your favor, and I abide by Mr. Piatt asked to have it mailed to him. It proved to be a report made upat the State Department from reports of our con- suls in Europe. On pages 9 and 99 Mr. Blaine states the wages of spinners and weavers in Lancashire and in Massachusetts as follows: Spinners—English, $7.30 to $8.40; master spinners as high as 312. American, $7.07 to 0. 30. S $3.84 to $8.64; American, $4.82 to $8, 73 The avera awe 71 in the Massachusetts mills are: .69; women, $5.62; male children, $3. il: 1 children, $3. The average wa es in the Lancashire mills, ac- cording to Consul Shaw,are: For men "and for women, from $3.40 to $4.30 per week. The hours of labor in Lacanshire are fifty- six, in Massachusetts, sixty hours per wee In the other New Engiand States, where wages are generally less than in Massachu- setts, the hours ot labor are usually from sixty to sixty-nine per week. Mr. Blaine says: ‘‘Undoubtedly the inequal- ities in the wages of English and American operatives are more than equalized by the greater efficiency of the latter and their longer hours of labor.’’ By the same State paper that bears Mr. Blaine’s signature, we learn that all our laborers who receive higher wages than those given in Europe are unprotected laborers, while the laborers who get about the same wages as the pauper laborers of Europe, are protected workmen. It is not very likely that Mr. Blaine will be our next President. Even if nominated, it is more than probda- ble that—after the election next November— he will once more have the opportunity to say: .

Let ters have been written tothe park managers, but they pay no attention to them. We ap- preciate all the improvements they have made in the park, although they appear to have been made wholly in the interest of the wealthy. The carriage ways have been im- proved so that peopie that can afford to ride can enjoy the music, but 1 fail to see where the comforts of the people have been looked after. Not one seat has been added to those near the music stand since last July. I have been waiting to see if some gentleman would not interest himself for our nefit, but none have. Ihave taken the liberty of writin you, hoping that your influence will add | more seats to the few around the music stand. Mrs. WEMBURG. Soulard Will Sustained.

Associates of the Suspected Woman Saw Her Near the Ashland Bridge Just After the Murder Is Supposed to Have Been Committed—Johzson and His Wite Held. The Coroner’s office and the hall adjoining were filled with colored people this forenoon, most of them being witnesses in the inquest onthe body of the little girl found dead Monday morning in Mill Creek No. 2 under the Ashland avenue bridge. Ben Johnson and Eugenia Johnson, the mother and father of the child, were present as pris- oners, the mother having accused the father of choking the little girl to death. The parents and witnesses were taken to the Morgue to de sworn over the dead body of the child and the investigation was then begun, the first § witness, Officer McWay, being placed on the stand at 11:30 o’ clock, He testified to finding the body of the child. It was lying on Its face in about four inches of water. The officer first heard the body was there from a colored man pamed Gus Davis. After arresting the mother he obtained a confession from her that she killed the child. She choked fit to death and then laid itin the water. No- body else was present, but Ben Johnson, the child’s father, had been with her a few minutes before and she met him again soon after putting the baby under the bridge. She said that Johnson knew she was going to kill the baby. Special Officer John P. 1 testified that the mother alsotold him that she had killed the child and did so because Ben Johnson wanted her to get rid of it. Officers Henry F. Hankins and Richard M. Hunter testified to arresting Ben Johnson. He claimed to them that he knew nothing whatever of the killing of the child and denied that he was present when it was killed, Lizzie Carter, colored, of 8208 Hebert street testified that at 9:30 o’clock last Sunday night she met Ben Johnson and Eugenia Johnson near the Fair Grounds on the Natural Bridge road. They were walking north and Eugenia’s child was not with them. Soon afterward Eugenia turned aroundand left Ben and accompanied her home. She wasinher stocking feet and had her shoes in her hands. She said that her feet hurt her. Shesaid nothing about the child or where she and Ben had Deen. Laura Bragg, a colored girl living on Grand avenue near the Fair, Grounds testified that she was with Lizzie Carter when they met Ben and Eugenia last Sunday night. Ben and Eugenia were walking east on the National Bridge road, and Eugenia, turned back and went with them. Lottie Libsey and Laura Andrews were with her and Lizzie Carter when they met Eugenia and Ben. She corroborated the statements of the other girls examined, as did also Laura An- drews of 4357 Marcus avenue. Laura also testified that about 10:30 o’clock last Monday morning she saw Eugenia at her house and she said then that her baby was dead and was lying under the bridge at Ashland avenue. The witness and another girl then went to the bridge, but the child had been taken away. Soon afterwards Eugenia was arrested. John Harris, a young colored man, a cousin of Ben Johnson, living at the Chicago Flats, near the Fair Grounds, on Bacon street, tes- tified that he was with Ben at the Flats and in that vicinity all Sunday evening up to 9:30 o’clock. He saw Genie walking along the road alone about half an hour after Ben left him. She didn’t have the baby with her, He didn’t see the two together that night. Robert Patterson testified that he was with Johnson Sunday afternoon and evening up to about 10 o’clock, with the exception of half an hour, and that Johnson was not with Eugenia unless during that half hour. W. T. Kyte, the only white witness exam- ined besides the police officer, testified that he assisted Officer McWay in taking the baby out of the creek. This colored girl un- der arrest came there and acted so strangely that the witness called the officer’s attention to it and she was then asked if the baby was hers. She saidit was not and claimed that she had never seen the child before. This closed the examination of witnesses proper. but each of the prisoners made a vol- untary statement. The girl testified as fol- lows: EUGENIA’S STATEMENT. My name is Eugenia Johnson; I live on Matt ave- nue; that is my child in the Morgue; Sunday evening I was at the Chicago flats when mamma came with the baby and gave itto me and said she had to go back home; I took the baby, and pretty soon started to walk home; I passed Ben and alotof other young fellows sitting on some sewer pipe and he left them and followed me.

Dr. Vincil and Dr. French Gaim That the Blasphemy of Drs. _ Bernays and Summa is Intolerable. _ The row in the faculty of the Marion-Sims . College is becoming quite interest- The institution now has a faculty which is largely new, and the Board of Trus- ‘tees of the Barnes Medical College, which Was incorporated yesterday, is com- posed largely of officers and hon- orary directors of the Marion-Sims Oollege of Medicine. Rev. John D. Vincil, the President of the Board of Trustees of the new institution, and Jerome B. Legg and John M. Marmaduke, members of the Board, were all honorary Directors of the Marion- Sims College. Dr. Pinckney French, Secre- tary of the Barnes College, held the same position with the Marion-Sims College and Dr. A. M. Carpenter, another trustee of the new institution, was vice-dean of the Marion-Sims faculty, and Dr. C. H. Hughes, also a trustee of the new Barnes College, was a member of the Marion-Sims faculty. In other words m, of the nine trustees of the mew Barnes College are taken from the Marion-Sims Oollege faculty and honorary directory. Dr. French had spoken disrespectfully of two or three members of the faculty, and his resignation was asked and given; while Dr. Oarpenter was a chum % wr. French and re- signed because he did. Then a member ofthe Marion-Sims faculty is alleged to have said that French was put out for lying, and Carpenter resigned because he was asked to.

DR. FRENCH ON HIS EXPULSION. Dr. French admitted that he was put out, but it was not on the question of lying. The lying was involved in a discrepancy between what he told a reporter in the Summa controversy and what the reporter published. On that matter he claimed to have the support ofa majority of the Sroulty although the thing was not pushed by his opponents toa vote. He said: ‘Instead of making my veracity the reason for displacing me, their resolution stated that I had been mstligating the students and had been contending against the facuity, and had conducted myself in sucha manner gen- n further connection with the fac ty would not be beneficial to the insti- tution.’’ Dr. French added that the real reason why Dr. Carpenter and himself were no longer nected with the Marion-Sims Medical Col- ge was because they had very strenuously resisted Ur. Summa’s infidel and atheistic teachings last year; and because they on the same round fought Dr.iBernay’s entrance frst into the school asa lecturer and latterly, a member of the facuity. He gave instances of Dr. Summa’s and Dr. Ber nays’ treatment of religious matters. If Dr. French accurately reported Dr. Bernays, the of the latter was certainly calcu- lated to severely shock a Christian. It was, . French claimed, this drift towards an in- lel and a materialistic college that had fenated some of the Christian gentlemen ho had allowed the use of their names as honorary directors,and that threatened to disgust and alienate many more. PR. VINCIL’S POSITION. Dr. John D. Vincil discussing the matter this morning said: I have mn an honorary curator of Marion-Sims College of medicine from its organization, and have felt much interested in itewelfare. Learning that certain teach- ings were being injected into the course, which were offensive, insulting, dishonoring tft human nature and foreign to the moral sense of mankind, 1 repudiate all connections with the institution. As my relation to the school, in an honorary sense, has become public and well-known, I desire that such relation not cnly cease, but the fact be as widely circulated as my con- nection with the college has been. Parties in the State bave written me in the past con- their matriculation in the Marion- Sims College, and were influenced to enter the school by reason of my endorsement and recommendation. I do not desire to injure any institution that is worthy of public favor, but my son could not listen to diatribes against the faith of his father uttered in any class-room where he was a student. He would not be gent there for such purpose, but to acquire . Teachings formu- 8s lated by poco ped professors in any institu- tion calculated to undermine the foundations of religious belief, are as foreign to the work as they are inimical to the interests of so- and government. I solemnly re- pudiate all such, and am not less firm in my rejection of any organization tolerating the ce of teachers who indulge in this kind ‘of illegitimate warfare upon divine truth. I must not be longer considered an honorary curator of Marion- Sims College of Medicine. American Medical College Graduates.

New Yorn, June 8.—Wholesale grocers from all of the large Eastern cities are arriv- ingintown. They come to attend a confer- ence which is to be held here to-morrow. The object of the conference is to secure from the Sugar Trust the adoption of a uniform basis at which sugar shall be sold. The idea is to request the Sugar Trust to establish a **limited price“ on which a rebate of u cent a pound shall be returned to wholesale deal- ers who maintain that price, It is expected that the conference will be representative of the jobbers of the Eastern cities, for the mat- ter to be considered is one of great impor- tance to the trade. A proposition has al- ready been submitted to the various grocers’ associations. It is to establish a National Wholesale Grocers’ Association. The propo- sition calls fora uniform price for each day by alltherefiners of the trust, telegraphic advice of daily market to each jobbing cen- ter, equalization of prices for competitive ints through a system of scheduling or reight allowance to the retailers anda re bate on monthly purchases contingent upon a maintenance of the price of sugars as fixed by the schedule. Itishoped that the trust will be ready to meet the decision of the conference. The hope is warranted by a letter written to the Soutnern Wholesalers’ Association by Presi- dent Havemeyer of the trust, in which he said: ‘*While we feel disposed to co-operate with the wholesale trader in the direction of securing for them a fair remuneration for their services in distributing our product, any plan looking to this end must originate with them and be the result of their mutual agreement as to what is best for their inter- est. The letter is regarded as a promise that if the coming conference of tne wholesalers will agree upon a basis for doing business the Sugar Trust will adopt that basis. Much dif- ference is to be looked for, however, in re- gard to arranging details. Many mem bers of the New York Wholesalers’ Association are openly opposed to increasing the rebate from Wc a pound, which they now receive, to Me a ound. Asimilar conference to that to be 1e1d to-morrow was held nm April. It failed in its object, largely because the attendance was 80 87 all. Art in the Schools.

From the rising of the curtainin the first act to its fall on the closing scene of the play the aud- lence was kept in one continuous roar of laughter atthe admirably portrayed scenes of the mirth- provoking piece. Those who thought to criticise an amateur attempt of a professional play departed at the close of the performance satisfied that none but the professional companies who travel in The Old Homestead’’ could have excelled St. Malachy’s Dramatic Societies in their production Monday night.

TO REINSTATE MOONEY. A Political Equabbie in the House of Delegates—City Hall News. Members of the House of Delegates have not quite recovered from the ripple caused in their ranks by the sudden ousting of Sergeant-at-Arms James Mooney. To Mooney’s friends his deposition came like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky. Their surprise was only equaled by their indignation and they have since been working might and main to undothe body’s action. City Attorney James Butler and Alder- man Cronin, Mooney’s closest friends, have been making a personal canvass among the members, but have not yet suc- Council Meeting.

Nation was tried in Judge Fisher’s court to-day. Harlan asked torave the sale ofa piece o roperty under deed of trust set aside. The plaintiff ts a day laborer and owned a lot fronting twenty-five feet on La Salle street in city block 2163, valued at $800. The defendant, David H. Nation, joaned $100 on the lot with his brother George W. Nation astrustee. The interest was not paid until $16 were due when the defendant sold the property. The plaintiff? alleged that he was inthe habit of paying his inter- est to D. B. Brennan, who was agent for D. H. Nation. He got behind on his interest payments, he alleged, in consequence of sickness in his family. His relations with Brennan were friendly, he stated, and he never doubted he alleged that if David Nation wanted his money, principal or interest thuthe, the plaintiff, would be notified, but no demand for either principal or interest was made he alleged, He was in ignorance of the sale, he averred, unt notified by Brennan that the property was sold. Judge Fisher rendered a decree that the deed be canceiled on Harlan's pay- ing into court the amount of indebtedness and costs. Wils Probated.

The Committee Meetings. the warm weather the mem- the City Council are showing considerable spirit by the amount of time they are — 2 to Municipal affairs. This after - noon the members ofthe Upper House in company with Building Commissioner Reid made a tour of inspection of the city’s char- itable institutions. The members had read of the fearful condition of the buildings, but they were hardly prepared for the sights that actually met their gaze. It is safe to say that the result of the trip will be a disposition on the part of the Council to ap- 4 riate freely for any repair or alteration n the city’s institutions, The Railroad Committee will meet to-mor- row afternoon and gooverthe Wabash Rail- road to inspect the crossings. On Friday afternoon the Sanitary Com- mittee will resume its sittings on the milk D111. The objectors will be given a hearing and the bill probably re- ported within a week.

Individual mention could not justly be made without mentioning all of the cast, for each ofthe participants played his and her indi- vidual part for all there was in it. The per- formance certainly justified a packed house, and were the societies to again produce the play such would undoubtedly be their recep- tion on the part of the public. Great credit is due the societies for the energy and ability displayed in this somewhat remarkable un- dertaking.and especially to certain members on whom fell the great brunt of the labor. South End River Front. There is no marked change in the situation along the riverfront at Carondelet or East Carondelet to-day. The water is receding but very slowly. Yesterday afternoon skiff near a deserted house in the northern part of,the village and as their actions were suspici®=us they were watched closely. They were seen to enter the deserted dwelling and appear in a few minutes with some household Several of the residents who saw men the alarm, and a shot was at them to frighten them off. They took to their boat and made off to the Arsenal Island. The river pirates have been numerous since the high water, but their piratical work was done 8 the stillness of the night. Near the luffs and Fish Lake the water is receding rapidly and it is hoped by the mid- dle of next week the fall will be so great that this section of the country will be entirely free from water, so as to allow the farmers a chance to plant their corn. Should the water continue to fall a resump- tion of operations can be looked for in the transfer and ferry traffic. The Mobile & Ohio Ratiway as well as the Cairo Short Line and Conlogue Railway companies will puta force of men to work repairing the road beds that have been seriously damaged since the high water. Mrs. A. M. Everest was the only contributor reported by the police to-day, she having donated a basket of clothes. Nearly two hundred people, all from the East side, are dependent on the Carondelet Relief Association for food and clothes. These people are seriously in want, and the police and disbursing committee have not sufficient funds to Keepthe people For the Flood Sufferers. The Second District police report the fol- lowing donations to the flood sufferers: Lot of Dread from W. Schwartz of 1704 South Broadway ; bundle of clothes from E. H. Gar- rigus, 1915 Penn street; bundle of clothes and $1 cash from unknown gentleman and $i cash from unknown lady. FEEDING THE HUNGRY. Work of the Merchants’ Exchange Relief Committee—Ontside Aid. There was no great rush at the distributing headquarters of the Merchants’ Exchange flood relief fund, not more than 150 families receiving food. This is, however, not an Indication that the need for ald is diminishing. The branch depots at Venice and East Carondelet are supplying hundreds who formerly were aided at the main depot, and while the number of families on the list has fallen to below 60, the majority of withdrawals are simply transfers, while there have been numerous additions both at the central and the branch depots. The shipments to outside points are also increasing and the managers are of the opinion that the demands upon the fund will grow. ; Previously r tted St. Mark's Memorial Church ouabe ene —K— 8 2,567.24 THE RIVERS.

In.the report of the grand concert given at Koerner’s Garden May 2 for the benefit the flood sufferers an injustice was done some worthy gentlemen and eminent musicians by the statement that the concert was given by Mr. B.

Each number in the programme was rendered under the direc- tion of a different leader, all members of the old society, among whom were Frank Gecks, Sr., Ben Vogel, A.

ENGLAND'S THRONE Movement to Supplant the Hanovers With the Stuarts. ’ New York, June 8.—There is a young En- gliishmanin New York these days to whom the presidential electioneering and campaign ofthe next five months will have a special interest. Infact, he has made his first visit to America more to watch these proceedings than to acquaint himself with the people and the country. He is Melville Henry Douglas Bruce, Mar- quis de Ruvigny and Raineval, whose estate is Castle Morris, in Ballybeggin, County Kerry, Ireland, and he intends to try for a seat in Parliament from West Kerry at the next election. If he is successful he will work with might and main for the recogni- tion of the Legitimist League, which isa re- vival of Jacobitism. The League, which was organized in October last, now has 7,000 avowed members and a number of sympa- thizers, and has a representative in the Mouse of Lords in the person of Lord Asb- burnham. Its aim is to restore the house of Stuart, the descendants of the ill-fated Chapyies I. and get rid of the present house of over, with its Battenbergs and other impediments, for whose living expenses and spending money British subjects are taxed. The Jacobites of to-day are not so excitable as theirancestors. They want no bloodshed and are quite willing to wait till Queen Vic- toria dies before putting Princess Louise of Bavaria, the Jacobite Queen, upon the one, Jom W.

ANDERSON, Ind., June 8.—The recent dis- astrous fire and flood that swept over the oll region of Pennsylvania recalls vividly the prediction made by William Stoner, a colored preacher ofthis town, who, a month ago, went into atrance on the street corner in this city and foretold with great vigor the destruction of the cities in the oll regions of Pennsylvania by freand water. Everybody thought Stoner was crazy, but the power and earnestness with which he talked of che affair impressed everyone who heard. The poor fellow was locked up for insanity and is still in jail. Nothing more was thought of the matter untilthe terrible disaster befell the ol) regions Monday night, then the prophetic words of the old darkey were re- called. There are some people in town who are now wondering whether Stoner is crazy or gifted with prophetic instinct. One thing certain, his prophecy has been fulfilled with remarkable accuracy. 541. AS.

A Book Which Has Been in the Public Schools Twenty Years Dropped. The Committee on Course of Study, con- sisting of Messrs. Brockman, O'Connell, Mc- Clain, Hequembourg and Dr. Hickman, met fu the Polytechnic building last evening to consider the bids of the various publishing houses made two weeks ago for publishing the text books to be used in the St. Louis public schools. All the members of the com- mittee were present except Dr. Hickman, The meeting of the committee was looked forward to with interest especially by the ed pubDlishing houses, and ttendance upon the meet- agents of interes they were all in ing when Chairman Brockman called it to Some of the agents were disappointed the commit- would only take action at this meeting on the geographies. Others were also disappointed because action was taken on even the geographies. In fact a ublishing house in the East, which as furnished the St. Louis schools with ks for twenty years. is very sore. The publishing house of k. H. Butler & Oo. of Philadelphia, Pa.. has been thrown overboard. For twenty years this house has furnished the St. Louis schools withWarren’s Physicai Geography at $1.10. Socertain were Butler & Co. of a renewal of their contract that no representative of this house was sent to St. Louis. After a discussion lasting probably five minutes it was finally decided to recommend to the board the adoption of ‘‘Maury’s 4 12 Geography at 96 cents. The lished by the University Co. of New York and Smith represented it at the meeting. The old eclectic system of readers, the ones now in use, will be recommended to the board at à cost of 4l cents and 90 cents, in- stead of 44 cents and % cents as heretofore. The session only lasted an hour and adjourned until Thursday evening when a five hours session will be held. The recommendation of readers will bring forth a heated discus- sion, and a lively time is anticipated. The throwing overboard of E. H. Butler & Co. of Philadeiphia will be the cause of con- siderable comment. Was it because ‘‘Mau- ry’s Physical Geography’’ is a cheaper book and could be purchdsed for less money than Warren’s that its adoption was recommended to the board, or did the suit to be brought against 8. H. Butler & Co. by the Missouri book dealers, cut a figure inthecase? This is largely a matter of conjecture, and will not be ascertained until the Butler Co. senda representative to St. Louis to look into the matter, which it will immedfately do before the school board adopts the books recom- mended by the Course of Study Committee.

THE OLD FAVORITES Where the Members of the Champion “Browns Are Located. MOST OF THEM ARE STILL PLAYING IN ‘ THE BIG LEAGUE. Wormer St. Louis Ball Tossers in Whom the Cranks Still Take an Interest—Jack Wilkes Fights Kimmick a Draw— Helen Nichols Defeats Quiver—Sport- _ ing News of All Kinds. The work of the old Brown Stocking players is still watched with a great deal of interest by the local admirers ofthe national game. Winning teams have come and gone, but Commy’s crew who were 830 many times champions and gave St. Louis the base ball distinction and fame which it enjoys, will go down to history as the most successful team ever gathered together. Most of the players who composed it are still in the business, but few are playing the game they did in days gone by. Increasing age has affected their work to some extent, but there isalso another cause. In those days ihey were handled by a man who understood them thoroughly and knew how to get their Dest work outof them. Now they are scat- tered around here and there. They were for- merh rarely considered individually as play- ers, but grouped as a team. Each man was a part that went to make the whole, and they played together to win games. The team was not an aggregation of stars. Cen- ter-flelder Curt Welch, however, was an artist, as far as fielding was concerned. He never amounted to much with the stick, but he always has been rated asone of the most dangerous players in the country once he se- cured his base. He usually succeedsin do- ing this by waiting for his base on Dalis or being hit by a pitched ball. Ot the original Champion Browns Bob Caruthers is the only one who is at present playing here. Charley Comiskey himself, as is well known, is piloting the Cincinnati Reds. Arlie Latham, the old third baseman and Tip O'Neill, who when be was wiib the Browns, was regarded as one of the country’s premier batsmen, are also with him. Both Comishey and Latham are holda- ing their own, but O'Neill has commenced to lose his grip, and it will not be long before he will join the long list of has beens. Jack Boyle, who assisted Bushong to do the catch.- ing in those days, is with New York now. Boyle is still regarded as one of the best catchers in the business. Dave Foutz is still with Brooklyn, and Billle Robinson, who is with Washington, seems to have taken a new lease of life after having apparently played out altogether. The rest of the old boys, Bushong, Nat Hudson, George McGinnis, Sam Barkley and Hugh Nicol, have either dropped into minor leagues or retired from the business altogether. The above, how- ever, it must be remembered, did not con- stitute the four-time winners exclusively by any means. Every year the club would be strengthened by the ad- dition of several enterprising youngsters who under the careful handling they receivec would turn out to be first-class tossers. Such — ers as King, Fuller, McCarthy, stivetts, Duffee, all of whom now rank with the best, were developed here by Comisky. Others including Chamberlain, Milligan, Hoy and Lyons, who at various times during their career on the diamond wore the brown Stocking uniform, were finished players before they located here. Of the lot Cham- Verlain is still with Comiskey at Cincinnatl and, taken asa whole, he is pitching good ball. McCarthy and Stivetts are both with Boston’s famous champions. Both, especial- ly, McCarthy, are playing a good game, McCarthy is to-day rated as one of the eatest outfielders on the diamon Charley King, Shorty Fuller and Denny Lyons are all withNew York, all but Lyons have been in good form. Big Jack Milligan, who was the receiving end of that famous cannon ball battery, the pitch- ing of which was done By Charley King, is with Arthur Irwin’s Washington Senators. Milliganis one of the hardest hit- ting catchers in the businéss. His work this season has been excellent. Hoy and Duffee are also located with the same club. Hoy, who is one of the highest-salaried outfileld- érs in the business will, it is thought, be tra ded to New York shortly. The Washington management, so it is claimed, have come to the conclusion that notwithstanding the dum- my’sability, he is too high salaried a man forthem toretain. Duffee has pleased the Capital City magnates immensely by his work. Should Hoy be let go Duffee will re- place him in center field. YESTERDAY'S GAMES, After a desperate struggle at Philadelphia yesterday the Browns defeated Harry Wright’s Quakers. Getzein was in the box for St. Louis, and while he was hit hard at times, he managed to keep the hits scat- tered.

TRACK TALK, Papers were . ‘yesterday between C. W.

John A. Morris, who knows a horse from a hand- saw, thinks St. Florian can beat all the 8-year-olds ata mile, weight for age. Heis 2 Uing to make a special race for the cracks r $5,000, and there is some probability of his proposition being accepted. With Patron, mmany, St. Florian and His Highness ali entered, what a race it would be! One of the sensational 3-year-olds in the East is the colt Two Bits, a son of the Duke of Montrose. Twice last week he made his mile in1:40and he is looked upon as one of the best in his class inthe East. As yet he has not met the crack eastern colts, and whether he can race with Patron or Yorkville Belle remains to be seen. Last year he was a fair 2-year-old in the West and raced well. He then belonged to Milton Young. An effort is being made to bring Loco- hatchee, St. Florian and Lamplighter to- gether in a special sweepstakes to be run June 15. The association will add $2,500 to the amount that each owner shall hereafter agree toputup. Locohatchee will start on condition of receiving seven pounds from St. Florian, and Brown and Rogers will ask the same allowance for Lamplighter. Speaking of Wadsworth’s victory over Aloha Ed Corrigan said: If Wadsworth in- terfered with Aloha so as to cause the latter to lose the race Icanuot see why it was not afoul. I did not see the race and can only base my opinion from the telegraphic ac- counts. Wadsworth made a good race, how- ever.’’ Mr. Corrigan said that Riley was not in condition to race now, but again repeated his statement that before the season closed — —— race him against any horse for ily miles President Rolla Wells of the St. Louis Jockey Clud denied this morning the statement that the Jockey Club was seriously thinking of extending its summer meeting from June 24 to July 16. The matter, said Mr. Wells, „nas not been thought of for a moment, as far as I know, and I don’t think there is any chance for such action; in fact it looks to me like idle talk, pure and simple.’ CRICKET. The cricketers of the Pastime Athletic Club will send to Chicago on July 1, eleven of its best players to play three match games with as many of the leading clubs of Chicago. The games will be a on ren? 4 Mon- day and Tuesday, 2, nd 5. The game of cricket Is — “with popular favor in St. Louis and the games to be played in Chicago will be witnessed by a large num- ber of enthusiasts. The return games will be played in St. Louis this fall. THE RING. A private dispatch received from Minneap- Olis this morning says that Jack Wilkes of this city and Charley Kemwick of that point fought a hotly-contested ten-round battle Monday night, whichewas declared a draw. Both men are ‘welter- weights and the contest was for an $800 purse. Kemwick is well known in pugilistic circles, especially in San Francisco, where he fought a number of bat - tles. Wilkes’ rr asa fighter is con- fined almost exclusivel y tothis city, where, however, be has considerable stan ing in his class. The telegram gave no rticulars concerning the contest beyond intimating that Wilkes had not been given a square deal, but as the sender of the dispatch was a friend of Wilkes his statement must be judged’ ac- cordingly. The “mes Amateur Athletic Club will meet at the club-house this evening. Busi- ness of much importance will be transacted and it is the destre of the officers to have a full attendance.
