The collision between Reddy Shiels and the Fort Wayne Blaine men gives an indication of the state of feeling here. ‘The men e in this on both sides were not of the rabble of he lobby, but were representative men of both factions, It was only by exercise of greatest self-control and by a prompt and humble apol- ogy that Shiels avoided corporal punishment. Feeling of this sort is linble at any time to lead to some more or less compromising scenes. The conservative men finding prospects of bringing out compromise candidates very doubt- ful are trying to pacify the two chief contend- ing factions. Several conferences have been held between conservatives in both camps. Blaine men have said they would give no quar- ter and that there wonld be no end to the fight if the office holders of the south were not off. ‘There was a general agreement among those taking part in the conference that nomination would not be worth having if the present bit- terness of feeling was not abated. Some of the New York folks «aid that if Mr. Harrison was nominated by the southern office holders he would be defeated in New York as badly as was Mr. Folger. The suggestion made by these conservative men on both sides was that the southern dele- gates be drawn out of the fight and be induced to stand aside and let the states that may by some possibility be carried by the republicans make the choice. . It was said on the part of some of the Blaine men that if this were done and it developed that Blaine did not have a majority of the dele- gates from the republican states, he would re- tire and allow Harrivon to be nominated by ac- clamation. “On the other hand, those men pres- tit port of ma- ¢ republican ates they would compel him to get out of the fight, willingly or unwillingly. ‘This situation wus very pleasing to Blaine folks and now the tter is being talked up quietly and sn effort is being made to set the drift of sentiment in that way. ‘The southern delegates are being talked to very earnestly and advised that an attempt on Ai part throw the nomination one way or by force of their numbers will re- sult m the defeat of the party. It is said that this talk is having an effect upon them, and that many are drawing out of the lines and taking « passive attitude. GLEESON ARRIVES.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star Mixweapouis, Mixx., June 6.—There came near being an actual physical contest between the Harrison and Blaine people this morning. For the first time the Fort Wayne and anti- Harrison republicans put in an appearance. Thev began work at once. Headquarters were est th lished in the West House directly under gulir Indiana Harrison headqnarters. The “kickers” put up a big banner, the most conspicuous one in Minneay on which was ters.” This banner made some of the Harrison men furious. Rhody Shiels of the Harrison lieuten- a down me} banner from Shiels’ crowd. nts organized a party and cut the banner ‘Then the “kickers” received reinforce- and made an onslaught, recovering the It was put back in place again, while a big crowd waited for further hostilities. In the meantime cooler heads succeeded in restoring order and the obnoxious banner still hangs aloft. ‘The anti-Harrison Indiana men got Mr. Shiels in their headquarters and stood him up in a corner and gave him such a round of curs- ing as it seldom falls to the lot of a man to re- ceive on one installment. Shiels broke from this, and four or five Indi anians follow. 1 through the crowded corridor. heaping imprecations upon him. Some Blaine men from other states joined them. All the while Mr. Shiels was imploring them to be quiet. “Let's have peace,” he said. “Donot let's quarrel.” ‘The anti-Harrison men would not be molli- fied. but kept shouting: “You have run over us long enough. You folks have, and you can’t do it any more. You cannot carry Indiana if you nominate your man.” —_—$_<_—_ DRAWING THE LINES. Political Forces Gathering About Two Names at Minneapolis. Mreseaporis, Mixy., June 6.—The friends of the administration seemed considerably more serene and confident than they did yesterday, though they profess that their mood has not changed a whit and that it is the other people and not themselves that are worrying. N eles, some of those who on Saturday and yesterday were expressing the view that it was Koing to be a close and bitter fight and that, in their private judgment, the President was not as strong as some of his believed, were free to aay this morning that a later view of the situation hardly justified their previous doubts and fears and that they were now satis- fied that, calculating what it ix certainly ex- pected to accomplish between now and Thurs day morning, there was no need of any alarm on the part of the President's friends, either here or elsewhere. BLAINE MEN IX GOOD HUMOR. ‘Very much the same tenor was the talk at the various places where the Blaine boom has an habitation. The cause of the ex-secretary, it was declared, was stronger this morning than on Saturday night, although no figures would be given. ‘Blaine people have a roster of the delegates with the way that each man is ex- pected to vote on the first ballot, and a second roster showing how the Harrison adherents, or many of them at feast, will be certain to turn when the proper time came, but they are not making these documents publie property for the benefit of the opposition. It was freely charged this morning that the Harrison element was making many statements that were not founded on fact and laying claims that would certainly fail to be verified. The statement of the Harrisonians, for instance, that they had been visited by several members of the Michigan delegation who had volunte- rily promised to«upport the President's re- nomination, although counted for Blaine, was pronounced a yarn out of whole cloth and the methods of Depew, New, Michener and the others simply a gigantic game of bluff.

The arrival this morning of Major McKinley was a source of considerable satisfaction to the other leaders of the President's cause, who have been awaiting his advice and counsel with some degree of impatience and who expect to profit by rsonal popularity and influence and acquaintance ong the delegates. | inley ix relied upon to more than overcome influence unfavorable to the interests that has or will be exer- cised by ex-Governor Foraker, but this task he | will not find a very difficult one, for Foraker, for | the first time since he wore a delegate's badge to a national convention,seems to have been lost |in the crowd. So far little has been seen of it counsels oo It was not until iong after midnight that the Ohio special reached the city, and Gov. McKin- ley had retired some. time before, leaving ex- | plicit orders that he was not to’ be disturbed by | politicians or any oneelse. This morning, how- | ever, he was up early and, with a dozen of the Ohioans, he walked up, to the West | Hotel shortly after 7 o'clock. leate a hurried break- fast and retired to hisroom, where in a few min- utes Mr. Michener of Indiana called to confer with him about the sitnation. Soon after the governor left the dining room ex-Gov. Foraker came in, and, sitting down opposite the place sionary work with the Ohioans, WHAT GOV. M’KINLEY SAYS. Gov. McKinley said, before he went into the conference with Mr. Michener, that he had not heard that he was to be permanent chair- man of the convention. — He said, also, that he would not speak at the dedi- catory exercises at Convention Hall tonight, as had been announced. E-Gov. Foraker denies the republished statement that he will speak at the mass meeting tomorrow night. A reporter saw Gov. McKinley a few minutes after his conference with Mr. Michener. In reply to a question Gov. McKinley said: “Tam for Harrison—firmly for Harrison. I have been for him and T am for him still. “What do you think the effect of Mr. Blaine’s resignation will be in the couvention?* “Mr. Blaine's resignation has placed him in the field as a candidate. I think it will strengthen rather than weaken Mr. Harrison. Tt has removed from Mr. Blaine that mystery which has surrounded him. He has lost that attractiveness which accompanies uncertain don't mow that I make myself perfec! elear.”” Tt was snggested that possibly Mr. McKinley meant to emphasize the difference between the position of « man who stood alcof and to whom the nomination was offered in spite of Bimself anda man who wis an open candidate, “That is it,” said Gov. McKinle; Mr. Blaine’s resignation at this time was a mis- take. I think it has hurt him with the delegates and with the people. We could feel the effect of itas we came through the country. The an- nouncement would daze a big crowd such as you have here, but where one man heard i d an opportunity to think quietly, and_ I be- lieve the gencral judgment of the people ia that Mr. Blaine has made # mistake.” ov. McKinley said he did not know enongh to form a judgment of Mr. Harrison's strength. He did not know how the Ohio delegation ‘wax divided. Concerning the permanent chairman- Gov. McKiniey said: “Thave heard nothing about the matter. “I ain not a candidate for the piace. If I should be asked to serve, I should 0 #0. The reporter asked the govern any possibility that his name would come be- fore the convention as a comp1omise. T am not in any sense a candidate,” he said. “I will not even discuss it.

McKinley was accompanied to Chicago by Delegate-at-Large Wm. H. Hahn, nearly all the state officers and five car loads of promi- nent buckeye republicans. Of the forty-six delegates from that state it is claimed that Har- Tison has eighteen out-and-out supporters, while Blaine has about ten and eighteen huve 40 far expressed no preferences. There ix less talk about dark horses this morning than there was yesterday. The Harrison men are deprecating the discussion or suggestion of any other name but that of their candidate on the ground that dark horse talk, if it means anything at all, means that the side indulging init ix not as sure of the success of its candidate as it profenses to be. However, there was quite a good deal of McKinley talk indulged in yesterday and last — and the question was repeatedly asked by delegates from many widely separated states whether Foraker and his friends would favor the governor. Foraker himself preferred to say nothing, but many of his friends were inclined to an- swer the query in the affirmative. Next to McKinley the names of Allison and Rusk have been heard almost as frequently as that of Alger. THE CALIFORNIA DELEGATION. George C. Gorham, ex-secretary of the United States Senate, to a representative of the press this morning summed up the situation from his view point as follows: “So far as Mr. Blaine’s attitude toward this contest is con- cerned, there is no disposition on the part of Harrison's friends to discuss it. The delegates in the republican party will do their own think- ing on the subject and no effort is being made in the Indiana headquarters to give any direc- tion to the discussion. I find my old Califor- nia friends endeav. ring to determine which of the candidates is safest for the party at large. ‘That state is well known to_ be very partial toward Mr. Blaine. Old-time friends of his on the delegation think, however, that it is not the vote of California’ alone that should be considered in coming toa conclusion. ‘They want to know who can command the most strength in the states in which the real battle ix to be fought. Well knowing the preference of all the delegates, it would somewhat surprive me if Mr. Harrison should receive less than one- half of the delegation when the time comes to announce their vote. The resignation of Mr. Blaine, as I understand, had the effect of bring- ing to Mr. Harrison's support three of the dele- gates from Massachusetts who up to that time were said to favor the nomination of Mr. Blaine. The friends of the President have no difficulty in securing the concession from all delegates that his merits as a public official have a la quantity of availability than any President contributed to the party for twenty years. They do not claim that he isa good fellow, in the sense of calling everybody by his first name, but they say that he not given the party anything in his course to defend and that men who care about success in their respective states feel that his nomination would strengthen them in their local contests more than any other can- didate named. HARRISON AND BLAINE COMPARED. “A favorable topic of discussion from the delegates and others is the relative strength of Mr. Harrison and Mr. Blaine as is shown by mupreme test of elections in which the were respectively an onsible leaders. comparison of the toturne shows that Mr. Har- rison made gains for the party where Mr. Blaine made losses.

Should the convention, how- ever, show any inclination to drop both the con- testants and seek a compromise candidate Gen. Alger is very earnestly and emphatically & oan- dato. THE M'KINLEY MOVEMENT. From the ranks of the great multitude of un- committed and harmony-seeking republicans there has suddenly sprung up a strong move- ment in favor of McKinley as a compromise candidate. In Ohio alone does this movement fail to evoke the enthusiasm that is requisite to The Foraker and Sherman factional ta have long divided the republicans of cently been accused of favoring the Sherman element hus provoked unfeigned hostility from certain of the Foraker delegates. Foraker states his belief that Sherman could receive the solid support of Ohio shopld the other states turn to the buckeye delegation for a candidate, but he has made no public declaration as to the availability of McKinley. Should Sherman be elevated to the presi- dency the Foraker men would almost certainly trinmph in the election of their chief to the Senate us his successor, while no special benefit would result from the elevation of McKinley. Despite the coldness with which the MeKin- ley movement is received by certain Ohio dele- gates, there is no doubt that the prevailing sentiment today is for the buckeye governor if the acrimony of the contest should demand a compromise candidate to save the party. CLAIMS OF THE COLORED MEN. It has been many years since «republican national convention contained #0 many colored delegates as will be seated in the convention hall tomorrow noon, Asa preliminary, a mass meeting of colored delegates and politicians has been held at which the following resolution was adopted: “Resolved, That the colored delegates to the national republican convention here assembled especially demand of the national convention a respectful hearing and consideration of the matters presented and contained in the memo- rial of the National Civil Rights Association, and that the colored delegates stand upon such a ration of rights as the last rantee they can accept at the hands of the repub- party. The memorial will be presented to the convention in the earlier hours by the ored delegates, and it will be espoused by ion W. Tourgee, the well-known agitator. TOMORROW'S PROCEEDINGS. It is expected that the convention proceedings of tomorrow will be very uneventfal so far as their political significance is concerned, unless there should be a contest over the temporary chairmanship, which now appears to be barel¥ pomible. In the eagerness for a tost of atrengt majority and minonity reports may be made by the national committee on recommendation for temporary chairman, and in that event there would be a decisive test of strength between the Blaine and Harrison factions, ‘The mass meeting to be held in the conven- tion hall tomorrow evening under the direction of the National League of Republican Clubs is to be an enthusiastic demonstration. The speakers are to be Ingalls, Burrows, Spooner, Ciayton, Thurston, Foraker and probably De: pew and McKinley. The complexion of the akers shows that they are both Blaine and Harrison men, so that the cry of the Harrison people to the effect that it is merely # scheme to boam Blaine will be silenced.

He Proceeds to Answer a Charge Made by Mr. John M. Langston, Attorney General Miller's attention was to- day called to the report of the speech of John ‘M. Langston in Chicago on the evening of June 3. Inthe report of that speech in the Chicago Inter-Ocean it is said: “It was charged by the speaker against the Attorney General that he had not instituted « single prosecution against the perpetrators of negro outrages in the south, although the case of a colored railway mail clerk who was taken from the mail car and lynched had been specially reported to him.” Mr. Miller said: “No such case was ever re- orted to the Department of Justice and, as I lieve, no such lynching ever occurred. far as I am able to recall, the only attack upon a railway mail clerk reported to the depart- ment since I became Attorney General was the one made on F. G. Bhvens,a young colored man, near the town of Aberdeen, Miss.,on the 20th of March, 1890. In that case four youn, men, thinking it not allowable for a colored man to run as a railway mail clerk on the Ili- nois Central railroad, fired several shots into the mail car, none of them, however, hitting Mr. Blivens. The United States dis- trict attorney promptly instituted an investiga- tion, had the four young men indicted, three of them were convicted on pleas of not’ guilty and one on a plea of guilty, two were sentenced to the penitentiary for three years and one to imprisonment for six months and to pay a fine of #500, The one who pleaded guilty was let off casily.

In the course of a colloquy between Mr. Vest and Mr, Allison the latter stated (in reference to a vote heretofore given by him) that he had put himself on record then against the free coinage of silver, just as he was it now, 8 proposed in Mr. Stewart's bill, but that the Senator from Missouri did him injustice in saying that he was posed to silver as @ money metal. It had ways been a money mietal, he said. and it wasa money metal—there being 400,000,000 silver dollars ip the treasury. ‘The democratic party stood together sbeo- lutely on the tariff, while it was ‘apart in regard to free coinage, and therefore the tariff question was the one to be pressed upon public attention.

This state- ment has been made by some of the ex-premier's nearest and dearest political friends, but for all that it has not been generally believed. The unbelief eprang largely and continuously out of the fact that Mr. Blaine himself has refrained from making such an announcement. Pub- licly he has not made the - announcement even yet, but he is in the field neverthlese. It was so stated to the President yesterday, but Gen Harrison refused to believe the somewhat be- clouded testimony. Today the statement was repeated and in its support was produced evi- dence that natisfied even the President of Mr. Blaine’s activity in his own behalf. This was, it is said, more of a shock than was the resigna- tion which was conveyed from the State Depart- ment to the Executive Mansion on Saturday To some extent the resignation had been pected, but the open candidacy of Mr. Blaine was totally unlooked for. It in alleged that telegrams have been sent from this city to Minneapolis which settle be- yond any peradventure the status of Mr. Blaine before the convention.

Attorney General Miller today received a telegram from Minneapolis saying that Blaine’s letter of resignation has proved a boom- erang there. The Attorney General said that the resignation would have been more effective if it had been withheld until Tuesday morning.
