Mr, Bayard sald these numerous amendments illustrated the defective character of a bill of this kind. The constitution prohibits any dis- crimination by Congress against the ports of any state In favor of any other.

Around the Senate, about 2 o'clock this afver- noon, the prevailing opinion was that Grant Was virtually defeated at Chicago. The news that Hale beat Conkling’s motion, to take @ recess, Was quickly speead through the Senate chamber, and it caused ominous shakings of heads, and many Senators sald: “That's bad for Grant.” ‘The general im- pression seems to be now that a dark horse will » and Edmunds is more prominently mentioned than any other as the possi- ble nominee.

FABIAN TACTICS. ope Special To The Star. Ciicaco, June 3. Scenes and te Se ‘The second day of the Convention opened wi! h. Clear, cool weather. Tickets of admission are selling as high as twenty-live dollars, The convention and its attendants took bit little sicep last nigat. The hotels were thronged ull an early hour this morning by excited crowds singing campaign songs and cheering for their candinates. The principal houses were lighted with t electric ight, which gave a fine effect to decorations. At the Grant headquarters these were magnificent. Besides the Nags, banners, streamers, mottoes, ete., an ojl portrait of Gen, Grant was placed on the wail embowered in roses with terraced steps leading to it covered with flowers. Pulling Against the Tide. Nothing was left, undone to stem the tid? that seemed to be turning against Grant. The crowds were the largest, the glee clubs the loudest. and the veteran soldier's organization the noisest in his bebalt. The Blaine men were jubilant and excited, bub seemed to be worh out with their cam paign. Blaine Wins Ulinois. ‘The excitement was intense when it becam> known that the committee on credentials ha? decided to report in favor of admitting tae Blaine delegates from Illinois. All of the Grant detegations were hastily summoned ta 1 ence at the Palmer House, watch was presided over by Conkling. A new canvass wa inade, in which Grant fell below 300. Gov. Boutwell stated that he was assured that the Massachusetts delegation would vor for Grant rather than Biaine when the vote b>- ne close. Finally It was resolved to stick to ce Grant. The Fabian Policy. ‘The Grant men are now trying to hold their forces up to the belief that tf they keep together they will be able to tire out their opponents. At the third-term headquarters it is argued that the support of Blaine, Washburne, Edmunds, Sherman and Windom can not combine, ani that in the end the ex-President will secure enough straggling votes to nominate him. The Grant men are very much excited over their defeat in the committee on credentials, brought about mainly, they say, by territoria! delegates, who have no electoral vote. The Grant Organ Speaks. ‘The Grant organ this morning says briefly: ‘Let the Inter Ocean say that if other states anda half dozen little territories are to come into the Convention and tell Illinois how she Shell choose her delegates, then the idea of making choice by this convention of states which shall be ratified by the people, may as well be abandoned.” A Battle Cry for the Boys. This ts Ove of the pyrotechnics flung to the breeze Lo-day:—“ Said Jeff. Davis to Pemberton: *Call In your troops from all points, and com- bine everything against Grant.’ The order was obeyed, but the grand old hero organized his army amidst the fire of shot and shell, and Swept Steadily on to victory. The Grant men of to-day, like those of the Army of the Tennes- see, need only to stand shoulder to shoulder, and the battle is won. Forward, then! Burn the bridges, and let unity, courage and pluck win the day.” SECOND DISPATCH. A Recess Until Five O'Clock. Special To The Star. Cutcaco, June 3. The convention at 1 p,m. was permanently organized by electing Senator George F. Hoar, of Massachusetts, as president. The committee on organization was entirely eee and Unanimous in selecting Mr. oar, ‘The second days’ session 1s much more crowded than the first. The convention was a long time comidg to order. The Grant men made the first move for delay to see if the ac- tlon of the committee on credentials in admit- ting the anti-Grant delegates from Mlinots could not be reversed. Mr. Conkling therefore moved a Seed until 6 o'clock, which the Blaine men ‘The Grant men are making a deperate effort to defeat this report in open session, and adopt the minority report re the Grant dele- gates from Iinois. Mr. Hale, of Maine, spoke against and Mr. Conkling for the recess, In the discussion the galleries seemed to be full of Blaine’s friends, for Hale was cheered three times to once for Conkling, and nis ailu- sions to Conkling’s ironical style produced pro- longed applause. Conkling was badly defeat by a vote of ten to one the convention deciding Mechag ts SE ta acien one mnt e action of it tees on rules and credentials the convention ‘Was forced to take a recess till 5 o’clock. In re- fe to it Mr. Conkling then of being willing men on Mr, Frye Associated Press Report, The Committee on Credentials De- cide the Alabama Contest. Cuicaco, June 3.—After the conclusion of the hearing of the Illinois eontest in the committee on lentials, at 3 o’clock this morning, a vote On the contest in the seventh district of Ala- bama was taken, resulting in resolving to re- Port in favor of the admission of Gov. Smith and Willard Warner, the contestants, by a vote of 31 to 13. Gen. Raum, a member of the com mittee, who also acted as chairman of the Sprivgfield convention, then addressed the committee at length on the Tilinols contest. The committee finally adjourned at 4 o'clock Until 11 to-day, without reaching a vote in the Tilinols case. The Niinow Contest. 11 a.m.—The committee on credentials are still In session, and, it is said, cannot report for sometime. It would be hazardous to predict results, but it 1s believed the committee will ad- mit at least 18 of the 20 contests from Illinois, who were admitted originally to the Springtivid convention, and subseauentiy ousted. New Bearice heer Against the Unit Tule. The sub-committee on rules and order of bu- siness, after a long session, agreed to a list of the rules nearly the same’ as those adopted at the Cincinnati convention in 1876, the principal difference being in rule S, which reads: ‘In the record of the votes by states the vote of each state and territory and the District of Columbia Shall be announced by the chairman, and 1n case the votes of any state, territory or the District of Columbia shall be divided the chairman shall announce the number of votes cast for any can- didete cr for cr against eny proposition, but if exception is taken by any delegate to-the cor- rectness of any such announcement by the chairman of his delegation the president of the convention shall direct the names of the mem- bers of such delegation to be called and the re- sult recorded in accordance with the votes ind'- yidually given.” The latter part of this rule, trom “but if exception,” ts an addition which does away with the unit rule. The District of Columbia Ruled Out of the National C niitees By the tenth rule it is provided that, the re- publican national committee shall consist of one member from each state, thus doing away With representation of the territories and the District of Columbia on the committe. Applause for Mr. Conkling. CuicaGo, June 3—11:30 a m.—Not more than half the delegates are yet in their seats. 7 gallerles are only three-quarters filled. The New York delegation has just entered with Mr. Conkling at the head, who was received with considerable applause in the galleries. CurcaGo, June 3—11:40 a.m.—The gallery and ficor are fillmg up now rapidly, and the Scene in the hall ts very impressive. ‘The Second Day’s Session Begun, Senator Hoar called the convention to order at 1 He requested all others than members of the convention to withdraw from that part of the hall assigned to delegates, and directed the srgeant-at-arms To enforce the request. The aisles were cleared after some delay. Rey. F. A. Noble, of Union Park ngregational Church, Chicago, offered piayer. THE COMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS NOT READY, Mr. Conkling inquired whether the commit- iee on contested -seats was ready to repori. ‘The chair replied that he was told the commit- tee was not ready, nor likely to be ready for several hours, perhaps not before 4 p. ra. MR. CONKLING MOVES A RECESS UNTIL TO-NIGHT. Mr. Conkling, rising again, was received wit marked demonstrations of applause in the gal- lerles, He satd he also understood that the re- port could not be had from the credentials com- mittee until late this afternoon. Of course no business could properly be done until that re- port should be received and the membership of the convention should be established. There- fore he moved a recess until to-nizht. MR. HALE OPPOSES THE MOTION. Mr. Hale asked Mr. Conkling to give way a moment, but he declined. Mr. Hale made the point of order that a inotion to take a recess Was debatable. The chair sustained the point oforder. Mr. Hale rose to oppose the motion and was received with marked applause, which Was renewed when he urged that the under- Standing yesterday was that the convention should this morning proceed to work. He argued that there was business which the con- vention could do in advance of the credentials report. He cited the convention of 76 to show that it did much business in advance of the re- port on contested seats, which then, as now, had mu hard work to do and was very late report. The convention in’%6 perfected iis permanent organization on its report of the and order of business. Mr. Hale urged that this convention is now ready for business [great applause} and hoped that it wouldn't thiow away Its time, but go on with its Immediate dudes. ME. CONKLING’S MOTION LOST. Mr. Conkling rose to reply, and was aghin greeted with applause. Meantime, the aisies had been filled again by spectators,and the chair ‘suspended business until they were again cleared when Mr. Conkling proceeded. The only work that the convention would do before 5 o'clock Would be to sit on uncushtoued seats and do nothing; bis moUlon therefore was one of con- yenlence, It was an open secret that the com- tittee on permanent organization would report the continuance of the present presiding o:ticer in the chair, It wouid not take five minutes to seiUe the permanent organization. There were important questions to’ be settled here. It is Said that the committee on rules have agreed to recommend the adoption of the five-minute rule to govern generai debate, though the com mittee have excepted trom this limitation the debate on contested seats.
