Mr. Grout explained the confused state of the District laws and the necessity tor compilation. Mr. McComas said thatabout three months ago ‘the House passed a bill to provide for a compli. ton of the general statutes, and the pending bill was designed to cover the municipal ordinances, &c., not covered by the act now pending in the Senate. Mr- Rowell, of the District committeo, explained the diMiculti¢s encountered in getting deauite in- formation as to the District laws, and he said a codification of all the District laws is much needed, and he would be giad to see an act passed Providing for such a codification, Mr. Randall asked Mr. Hemphill to accept an amendment fixing the limit of price at $2,000 tn- Stead of $5,000.

John M. Wilson, who has charge of the public bulldiugs and grounds, wrote to the Commissioners requesting information as to what extent they claimed jurisdiction over the smaller United States reservations. This action was brougnt about by Col. Wilson from the fact that In a great many instances where United States property adjoined private lots the fences of the former were thrown down, the owners of the lots claiming that they had the authority of the Dutlding inspector, ‘The Commissioners, in answer to Colonel Wilson, Say that the technical term “reservation,” as used with reference to property embraced in the plan of the city of Washington, refers only to certain squares ana spaces reserved in the original plat of the city for purposes of pubite bulidings or public health and conveulence. ‘Tue spaces miade:vy the intersection of streets and avenues wi Strictly speaking, reservations. Of tue tivo desig hatious of property, Ue former reservatio: strictly speaking, were not numerous; oi the Latt or spaces and ibtersections, tue number is very great. i ue Comumisstoners say further, that in the div!- sion of the property upon which the city stands between the origiual proprietor and the comuils S.oners appointed to make the division, made Mareh DL, ILS distinctly provided, “Chat the ots only whic shall be laid off, shail’ bea joint property between the trustees On behalf of the public, andeach present proprictor, and shail be fairly and equally divided between the public and the Individual,” and it is farther provided that “the Pre-ident may retain any number of squares he may think proper for pubile improvements or otuer public uses; that for Lue streets the proprie- tors shall receive no compensation, but for the squares or lands in any fori wiuich Shall be taken for public buildings or any kind of public improve- ments OF uses, Che proprietors Whose lands shail be taken shall’ receive at the rate of £25 pounds per acre to be paid by the pubile. ‘The Comins. Sloners say that the Conclusion seems evicable, that over the reservations end spaces" or intersections referred to the Commissioners Lave po jurisdiction except 80 Tar as tue same has been given to them by acts of Congress extending their police authority over the sane, The clty “Was originally divided into squares, lots and sireets, aud the streets were so arranged as to make at these Inversections open spaces. Of the squares certain ones were reserved ior public Uses aud It Would sveta were paid for at arate agreed upon. The streets were ¢ ded by the original proprietors tothe United States absolutely and without compensation. Tue lous were divided equally between the proprietors and tie public, upon a plan recognized and agreed upon, All Utles, the Commissioners Say, UO Teal estate in this city depend upon Uis subdivision. These alternate lots were all the property taken by Uhe proprietors in the divi- sion and everything else—the streets, spaces, in- tersections afd reservations belong to the United States. ‘The Commissioners say in conclusion that ‘hey claim no Jurisdiction over the property to Which Col, Wilsoa refers and that _hereatter they wil be governed in their action by such conclusion.

Cmicaco, June 25.—They expect to do it to-day They iay fail, but probably will not. Many rapid changes have occurred during the past forty-eigut hours, but Monday morning opens as did Saturday, with all the possibilities and un- certainties of that hour. No one appears to have an honest doubt that Biaine can aud could have been at any time since the second day of the convention nominated by a good majority, #laine Men in No Hurry. But that is not what the Blaine men want, Itis not clear how the Maine statesman could accept a nomination not practically unanimous until itis fully demonstrated that no other candidate can possibly get the nomination. For this reasou the Blaine men have waited and are waiting. Strong Anti-Blaine Talk. The strongest anti-Blatne talk yet heard was that current yesterday. The mention of Mr. Blaine’s magnetic name appeared to galvanize the corpses of the other candidates, as an irrev- erent poiltician put it, and they all Jumped up to say that they were not dead yet. ‘The ant-Blaine fight then began with more enthusiasm and with a better organization than {t bad up to that time shown, The adjourn- ment Saturday afternoon was the result of @ misunderstanding and was a blunder. There ‘Wasa general feeling ot dissatisfaction and disgust when it was settled that the convention was to go over into this week and thousands of people took the night trains for home, Even some of the delegates departed leaving their votes to the alternates. Since the fireworks, Biatne demonstration, Saturday lgnt, the city has been comparatively quiet, ‘The’ mob of ‘shouters have cleared out, Hard-Working Politicians, More right down hard and practical political ‘work was done yesterday and is being done this morning than the politicians have heretofore been inspired to, held by Depew, Manley, Elkinset al, and mak- ing them work at hi pressure all day Sunday and ‘all tast ‘ght Up to this moment the trouble has been with those ing Blaine’s nomination that they agree upon any one man to go to in a body.

Later, ft developed that the concentrated attack on Blaine has encouraged all thy other candidates ‘with the hope on the part of each that he might be the beneficiary of any set back to the Maine statesman, and they all stiffened up, thelr friend agreeing to stand by them. Thus efforts to agree upon one man failed, and the situation has got back to where it was. The New York men, according to the latest report, ‘Will vote for Hafrison as they did Saturday. A Blaine Conference. The Blaine leaders went into conference at @ O'clock last night-and discussed the situation until 1 o'clock this am, ‘Their decision was to Press Blaine’s name, and a subcommittee of 7 Was appointed to take the matter in hand this morning, discretion being left with them to act as ‘Uhey think wise.

It must be confessed that just before the as- ‘Seubling of the convention nothing 1s known for @ certainty, Itts stated on the authority of Mr. Phelps ‘and other Biaine men that all the candidates except ‘Sherman have expressed their willingness to step ite In favor of Mr, Blaine.

He said: “I want Wiiat I Say to the Associated Press to go to Lhe country as the unqualiued sentiment of the leading Triends of Mr. Bixine. ‘There has been much nusUnderstanding in the matter both by the public and those Ho represeut the public in this convention, Mr. Biaine 1s. not a candidate before Unis convention unless by and with the ‘consent of at least four of Une leading candidates now betore it, He wili not be placed in nomina- Uon under any circumstances, and his friends trust that his friends in the convention wiil ree fram from voting for ulin until every other man hay had an opportunity for the nomination.

Washington Dispatch to the N. Y. Herald to-day. Senator and Mrs. John Sherman were sitting on the high stoop of their house when the Herald correspondent called there this evening to ask the Senator what he thought about the situation in ‘Chicago, “Is it true, Mr. Senator,” said the correspondent, “that you have received a dispatch from your man- agers in Chicago asking you to withdraw, and that Mr. McKinley is the ouly man who can be nominated by the anti-Blaipe vote, and that for the sake of having Ohio name the nominee they are anxious tbat you should sanciion Unis arrange- ment?” The Senator paused for fully one minute and ‘then hé said_very slowly and with a distinct emphasis: “T will netther deny nor affirm having received such @ dispatch.
