The Republican Convention at Cin- cinnati Begins Operations. PREPARING FOR THE $10,000 FIGHT. The Street Railway Tie-Up in De- troit Continues. SERIOUS FIRE IN ROME, N. Y. HARMONY AT CINCINNATI, The Indiana Delegates Forget the Unpleas- ant Epleode of Yesterday. Crxcrexart, April 22,—The delegates were slow in assembling for the second day's session of the National Republican League, and it was almost 11 o'clock = when — Chairman Thurston rapped for order. Among the first delegates to put in an appearance were those from Indiana, and they seemed to have for- otten the episode of yesterday caused by the failure of ex-Gov. ‘Fornker and Chairman Thurston to mention the name of President Harrison in their speeches, and Foraker's allu- sion to “Blaine’s magnificent administration.” The committee's selection of Indianapolis as the next mecting place of the league probably had much to do with conciliating matters. ‘A majority of the delegates from Indiana, however, are opposed to holding the league convention before the date of the national re- publican convention. A petition signed by Mayor Pingree, Gen. Alger and many prominent citizens of Detroit was presented to the convention this morning to have the national league meet in that city next year. NECESSITY OF HARMONY. Chairman Thurston urged the delegates to be harmonious in their actiom and stated that there would be no disposition on his part to prevent a free interchange of republican senti- ment. A communication was read from Hon. Wm. M. Evarts of New York commending league work as impressing upon the delegates the im- portance of the work Yor the convention. one from Hon. Ellis 8. Roberts, assistant treas- urer at New York. The reading of this letter was interrupted by applause and Chairman Thurston said: “You are now witnessing the arrival of the first production of American tin.” A box on the stage was then opencd and tin plates, made in St. Louis, were distributed among ‘tho dele- ates by the Missouri delegation. Chairman ‘hurston remarks There is no duty on that tin. You'll all get a plate, boys.” . On motion the thanks of the convention Were tendered to Mr. Neidringhaus of St. Louis for the excellent republican argument in- volved in ‘American tin plate.” The readin, of Mr. Roberts’ letter was then concluded an others were read from Congressman Boutelle, Senator Manderson and Andrew D. White of New York. The words of the secretary, “From Senator John Sher- man,” elicited “applause. Letters of regret from Hon. Chas. Foster, Hon. Redfield Proc- tor, Congressman Ray of New York, N. Stock- bridge, jr., Gen. R.A. Alger (applause) and several others were read. RESOLUTIONS SUBMITTED. The chair called for the report of the com- mittee on resolutions. The resolutions deplore the death of Gen. Sherman and Secretary Windom; indorse the wise and statesman-like administration of President Harrison; i and the republ declare for protection and rocity; oppose any attempt to Bee ccin of the countey, bus dowaat| such an increase of the currency as. can be THE PRESIDENT IN CALIFORNIA.

The President made a suitable response and afterward shook hands with a large number of People. ———_ THE DISCONTENTED GRENADIERS. 2 It Is Believed That They Have Been Indulg- ing in Soctalistic Dreams. Loxpow, April 22.—The war office is conduct- | 8¥i ing a searching investigation into the causes of the mutinous conduct in the third battalion of grenadiers. The belief prevails that there is more than appears on the surface, and that the outbreak was notas spontaneous as that of the second battalion some months The English foreign office was notified from Germany recently of a socialistic propaganda ad- dressed especiaily to the spread of socialistic doc- trines in the armies of western Europe, and that England, Germany and other nations, was a fil kind of proselytism. The war oftice has since been especially vigilant to ect any ground for alarm; but until Tues- y there Was no reason to apprehend dis- content among the troops. It is now said that two of the men at least who were active in egging on their comrades have been patrons of republican literature, and have had consid- erable to say in advocating the principl socialism. On the other hand there is no doubt that the men have cause for complaint, owing to the severity of the discipline and the martinet methods of their officers, to whom the fate of Colonel Maitland of the second battalion soems to have proved no warning. SSeS Eig STOCKS ACTIVE AND STRONG. Small Fluctuations in the Market Followed by a Rise. New York, April 22.—The stock market ex- ited a decreasing volume of business this morning with small and irregular fluctuations, though the firm undertone was apparent, and while the early preasure to sell caused some concessions, they were generally recovered later and most of the list scored small gains. First prices were irregularly but only slightly changed from last night’s figuros, with a major- y of declines among the active shares, and this was followed by a further recession, in which Chicago gas was most prominent, losing 3{ per cent to 50. Besides Chicago Atchison, St. Paul, New England, orthern Pacific preferred, Rock Island, Union Pacitic and sugar showed special animation, while the rest of the list as ysual was com- ratively neglected and ‘divplayed no Feature “of interest. ‘The Wheeling and Lake Erie stocks, however, were an exception, showing plainly the effect of the in- crease in the dividend rate on the preferred by advances of large fractions. At 11 o'clock the market was quiet but firm to strong at the best prices renched and generally at small fractions better than first prices. Money is easy at 3}ga4 per cent. The stock market remained very quiet after 11 o'clock, but developed Northern P @weakening tendency, led by ic preferred, which was also the tock on the list for the time being. The concessions in prices, hot were slight and late in the hour prices were again brought up to the best figures. Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred at 77% wasup 1 per cent from the opening prices, but the rest of the list were content with smaller advances. ‘Toward noon, however, the leading stocks de- veloped marked strength, and Missouri Pacific led, showing a gain of 134 at 8234, while at 12 o'clock the market was ‘uctive ‘and strong at the highest prices of the morning.

A PROTEST ENTERED. A delegate rather hotly protested against what ke claimed to be discrimination against foreign-horn citizens in the clause pertaining to immigration. He was ably seconded by a delegate from Wisconsin, who called attention to the fact that on sucha plea as the one iu- volved in this case the democrats had been able to carry Wisconsin and reverse the former republican majority of 25,000 in that state. Gen. Fairchild ‘of Wisconsin indorsed the statement and implored the convention to listen to the warning. The chairman of the committee on resolu- tions suggested that ihe objectionable words “persons so alien from us in ideas and habits of thought that they cannot be assimilated in the body politic” be stricken out. Mr. Campbell of New York objected on the ound that the republican party should suffer Ketone, if necessary,'for whut it believes to be right. THE JACKSON-CORBETT MATCH. The Australian Believes That He Can Be Ready by May 21. SaxfFraxctsco, April 22.—Peter Jackson, the Australian pugilist, is matched to fight Jim Corbett for «#10,000 purse. He has thrown aside hiserutches and says he can now surely get in trim for the battle. It was feared the bruising he received by being thrown from the cart about three weeks ago would cause & postponement of the match, the date set for which is May 21. Jackson will doubtless bea favorate over Corbett, now that he will have over four weeks in which to train, Jack- son has written the Sydney Athletic Club ac- cepting another offer of €5,500 purse for a 0 between himself and’ Joe Goddard. is match will go whethe: Jackson whips Corbett or not. Peter will set the date himself. Goddard recently whipped Cheynski and fought Jackson to » draw in ht rounds. The black man’s friends all claim that Peter underestimated Goddard's ability and did not train an hour for him, while Peter himself says he was lucky to get out with draw under the circumstances.

Pneumatic Gun of | earth again must be Practical Appl The members of the National Academy of Sciences walked or rode in ordinary earth- bound vehicles to the meeting at the Nationa ‘Museum today, notwithstanding the fact that Prof. Langley announced at the meeting yee- terday the scientific possibility of aerial navi- gation. No perceptible progress toward the practical realization of what Prof. Langley showed was theoretically possible had been made over night. Prof. Langley's address attracted much attention, and will undoubtedly attract much more from the world at large as ite import is more fully comprehended. While Prof. Langley made an off-hand talk to the academy, using only a brief memoranda to ide bis speech, the results of his experi- ments will be published in a gcod-sised volume, exhaustively discussing the subject of aero- dynamics. One of Prof. Langley’s friends told a Stan reporter today that Prof. Langley went much further in his private conversations than he did in his communication to the academy. Nec- ossarily he was guarded in his utterances before the academy and confined himself to stating just exactly what was proved by experiment. THE PROBLEMS REMAINING. Prof. Langley having proved the possibility of providing sufficient power to propel through the air an air ship, together with the engine creating the power, it remains fora man or men of mechanical genius to mect the difficulties that still remain. Devices for starting the ship from the earth, of guiding it in the air and of bringing it to the ed out by inventors. A scientist laughingly remarked today that he saw no way of starting the aap on its aerial flight except by having an, elevated track and runuing the car or ship along that until it got under good headway anc then letting it shoot off the end of the Platform. | He did not see any way of stopping it safely, except by lassoing oF letting it down to the ground gently by means of a big s parachute. Aside from the field for interesting or hymor- ous speculation, capitalists and engineers are undoubtedly alive to the importance of the field which of they have been given a glimpse by . Langley’s experiments. Prof. Langley, is said, during his —experi- been approached = by men of wealth desirous of forming an inventors’ syndicate and received offers of a most tempt- ing character, but has declined them, prefer- Hing to go on with his scientific work, giving to the world at large the benefit of his discov- cries. THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION. Prof. Henry$ Prof. Langley's predecessor as secretary of the Smithsonian, made important discoveries and experiments demonstrating the scientific possibilities of the telegraph and gave his discoveries the — world, leaving the mechanical details to be worked out by men of inventive genius. In the present case Prot. Langley, said 4 member of the academy toa Stag reporter today, interests himself in the subject of artificial flight as a problem in physics. When this scientific problem is solved the practical application of the resuli he will leave to be worked out by inventors and give “is attention to other questions. Prof. Lav _1y, though devoted to pure science, possesses unusual inventive genius, as the a paratus used by him in his experiments and constructed by him attests. ———— ; MORE ELECTRIC LIGHTS.

Veterans at the White House, The veterans of the sixth Massachusetts, es- corted by the members of the present active orgunization, called at the White House in a body at 2:80 this afternoon and were given the liberty of the mansion, which was thrown open to them by Capt. Densmore. They marched up to the tap of a drum, the band following withbut thetic itetrar ments. . ‘A good many went upstairs into the offices and some were introduced to Private Secretary Halford, who was all of the administration visible. ee Se ‘The Intercontinental Railroad Project, “The intercontinental railroad project is moving along very nicely, thank you,” said ex- Senator Davis of West Virginia to a Stan re- porter. “Two civilian parties and one military crowd have gone to the sunny southland.

CROWDS LINE THE AVENUE 70 SEE THE vierroRs AND THE WASHINGTON LIGHT INFANTRY, THEIR ESOORTS, MARCH UP—PLEASANT GPEECHES— PROGRAM OF ENTERTA:NMS¥T. ‘Three decades ago, when the sixth regiment of Massachusetts voluntecrs first entered the national capital, there was a good deal of pop- ular rejoicing, but there was also a good deal of popular discontent. Public sentiment was somewhat divided then on the issue which the sixth proposed to aid in deciding, and there were numerous expressions of regret at the arrival of soldiers who must inevitably be sac- rificed just as soon as the sonth got ready to do the sacrificing. But things have undergone a material change in thirty years, and it is most improbable that there was a single being in the crowds wnich lined the avenue yesterday after- noon but was glad to see the men from Massa- chusetts. It was but little past5 o'clock yesterday after- noon when a special train into the Balti- more and Ohio depot. The occupants of that train were the bay state excursionists, for whom a welcome had been prepared. Three officers of the Washington Light Infantry corps-—Cap- tains Miller, Kelly and Ebert—were on the plat- form, loaded with informal greotings, An in- teresting feature of this reception was the Presence of Capt. Miller. When the sixth first Visited this city Capt. Miller did not proffer the right hand of fellowship, for Johnny was over in Virginiagetting his gun ready to assist in the creatidlf of vacancies in the Union army. ‘THE WELCOME AND MARCH. The visitors formed on the platform along- side the train, On the right of the line was the Worcester Light Infantry, fifty strong, com- manded by Capt. Fred C. Davis. With these were numerous staff officers of the first regi- ment, Mussachusetts National Guard, and hon- orary and veteran members of theactive infantry company. Then came the veteransof the sixth— —_ my three of them—sad around them the er proportion o} r interest naturally centered. Outside the station the Washington Light Infantry corps was drawn up, battalion front, and when the visitors appeared Col. W. G. Moore shouted, “Prosent arms.” After a little maneuvering the column formed and_pro- ceeded to Pennsylvania avenue. Col. Moore ‘and his command, headed by the National Guard Band, were in front, aud a fine show they made. ‘The four companies in their white coats, blue trousers and bearskin shakos were 4s popular in their appearance as they ever were; they marched admirably. The visiting soldiery brought with them the band of battery B of Worcester, and this musi- cal organization divided time with =p Schroeder's aggregation. A great many peo} occupied the sidewalks along the line of march and there was quite a multitude in the vicinity of Pennsylvania avenue and 15th street when the column was moved on to the steps on the south front of the treasury and there photo- Gfaphed.

Aft®r sctting forth the charter of the Chesa- peake and Ohio Canal Company with a history of the legislation and litigation respecting it and averring that they (the complainants) have complied with the decrees p |, they state that between June 1, 1866, andWuly 10, 1872, the company leased ' to defendant (Dodge) its surplus’ water power to the great wrong of the company, the bondholders and lien creditors, ut 25 cents per inch, when the market price was $2.10, as evidenced by leases with other water takers. They state that under the first contract, June 1, 1866, for and in consideration of the ‘rebuilding of the dam at Little Falls, an enlargement of the feeder, &c., they assumed to transfer to Dodge. without adequate consideration and on con tions which might materially interfere with it and even obstruct it, the water power, &c. They state further that on February 17, 1870, the Circuit Court assumed, in consideration of the cancellation of the foregoing lease, to trans- fer and set over to Dodge the surplus water, not to exceed 1,500 inches, and the further ap- rent right to 1,500 inches at 25 cente per inch for fifty years, reuewable forever at 50 cents per inch, Farther, they state that February 10, 1872, they assumed to confer on Mr. Dodge the right and thority to construct certain outlet locks, &c. < ite the transfer of boats from the can to We river and to furnish him with sutticier = power, and gave him power to charge # cents per ton on cargoes passing through. ‘They stato that the ret was Sbeorbel in the second lease and Dodge claims it to be ix full force and has made subleases with G.
