ALOER'S NAME TO BE PRESENTED. ‘The Michigan delegation have reconsidered | their former determination and decided to pre- | sent Alger’s name to the convention. ‘TRYING TO ALLAY BITTERNESS. | The collision between Reddy Shiels and the | Fort Wayne Blaine men gives an indication of the state of feeling here. ‘The men engaged in | this on both sides were not of the rabble of the 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 liable at any time to lead | to some more or less compromising scenes, | The conservative men _fin¢ bringing out compromise candidates very doubt- | fal are trying to pacify the two chief contend- | ing factions.

It is suid that “this talk is having an effect upon them, and that many are drawing out of the lines and taking a passive attitude. GLEESON ARRIVES. Andrew Gleeson arrived today in company with Aaron Bradshaw, Geo. Holmes, Wilburn W. Lawson and Aldrich. Mr. Gleeson has con- tributed a great deal to the Blaine enthusiasm since he has been here. “Nobody but Blaine ean be nominated,” be said to your correspondent. “He cannot be beat in ¢! nor in the country. He ean carry New York and Mr. Harrison cannot. Any democrat not nated can beat Harrison 50,000 majority in New York.” Fred. Douglass was on the train with Gleeson and is here at work on the southern delegates. Director of the Mint Leech is added to the list of officials bere. J.P. Me crisis say they are gency of this Kind. There cannot and will not and shall not, they say, be any stampede in the convention. Presidents are not nominated nowadays by the clamor of disorganized mob and the bluster of a few would-be leaders, nor is it either possible or probable that’ such methods can prevail against the personal in- fluence or the wise and prudent counsels of such men as Depew, McKinley, Mason and New, who have guided the party to success through many astorm. Hence, they say, nobody will be either seared or deceived, no matter how great the din or appalling the noise. MAJOR M'KINLEY'S ARRIVAL. The arrival this morning of Major McKinley was a source of considerable satisfaction to the other leaders of the President's canse, who have been awaiting his advice and counsel with some degree of impatience and who expect to profit y his personal popularity and influence and hjs wide acquaintance among the delegates. | MeKinley is retied upon to more than overcome whatever Ohio influence unfavorable to the resident's interests that has or will be exer- sed by rnor Foraker, but this task he will not find a very dificult 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 him and less heard. It was not until long after midnight that the Ohio special reached the city, and Gov. MeKit lev 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 Ohicans, he walked up'to the West Hotel shortly after 7 o'clock. Heate a hurried br | fast and retired to hisroom, where in a few min- utes Mr. Michener of Indiana called to confer with him about the situation. Soon after the governor left the dining room ex-Gov. Foraker came in, and, sitting down opposite the place just occupied by Mr. MeKinley, dida little mis- sionary work with the Ohioans. WHAT GOY. M” EY SAYS. . Gov. McKinley said, before he went into the conference with Mr. Michener, that he had not heard that he was to be permanent cha man of the convention, He said, als that he would not speak at the dedi eatory exercises at Convention Hall tonight, as had been announeed. Ex-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 snid: am for Harrison—firmly for Harrison. I have been for him and J nm for him still.” “What do you think the effect of Mr. Blaine’s resignation will be in the convention? Mr. Blaine’s resignation has placed him in the field as a candidate. I think it will strengthen rather than weaken Mr. Harrison. It has removed from Mr. Blaine that mystery which has surrounded him. He has lost that attractiveness which accompanies uncertainty. Idon't know that I make myself perfectly clea It was suggested that possibly Mr. McKinley meant to emphasize the difference between the position of a man who stood aloof and to whom the nomination was offered in apite of himself anda man who was an open candidate. “That is it,” Gov.

ENDIANIAN: Fight of Harrison and Blaine Hoosiers Over a Banner. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Mixxearorss, Mixs., June 6.—There came near being an actnal 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. They began work at once. Headquarters were established in the West House directly under the i ison headquarters. ckers” put up a big banner, the most conspicnons one in Minneapolis, on which was printed “Indiana Blaine headquarters, This banner made some of the Harrison men furious. Rhody Shiels of the Harrison lieuten- ants organized 2 jartyand ent the banner down. Then the “kickers” received reinforce- ments and made an onslaught, recovering the banner from Shiels’ crowd. It was put back in place again, while a big crowd waited for further hostilities. In the meantime cooler heads succeeded in restoring orderand the obnoxious banner still bangs 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.

Mrssearosis, Mixx., June 6.—The friends of the administration seemed considerably more serene and confident than they did yesterday although they profess that their mood has changed a whit and that it is the other people and not themselves that are worrying. Never- theless, some of those who on ‘Saturday and yesterday were expressing the view that it wae going to be a close and bitter fight and that, in their private judgment, the President was not asstrong as some of bis managers believed, were free to say this morning that a later vi of the situation hardly justined their py doubts and fears and that th tied that, calculating what it is certainly ex- cted to accomplish between now and T day morning, there was no need of any alarms on the part of the President's friends, either here or elsewhere. BLAINE MEN IN 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 t on Saturday night, although no figures wo: be given. ‘The Blaine people have a roster o the delegates with the n is € pected te vote on the fir showing will be certain to turn when the pro me, but the: not making these documents public property for the benefit of the opposition.

The badges, pictures. music, &c., can be had for the asking aud without money and without price. A BIO HURRAM FOR BLAINE. Blaine clubs from a number of points in Iili- rois, Ohio, Wisconsin and other states will bring reinforcements to a total of several thousand shouters during the day and every man will be expected to use his lungs for all they are worth. In one of the big buildings of Mr. Blaine has made a mistake. Gov. McKinley said he did not know enough to form a judgment of Mr. Hurrison's strength. He did not know how the Ohio delegation was divided. Concerning the permanent chairman- ship Gov. McKinley said: “Ihave heard nothing about the matter. “Iam not a candidate for the place. If I should be asked to serve, I should do 80.” ‘The reporter asked ghe governor if there was any possibility that bis name would come be- fore the convention as a compromise “I am not in any sense a candidate,” he said. “I will not even discuss it. I take it’ only two names will be placed before the convention,and that therefore the nomination will be on’ the first ballot.” Maj. McKinley was accompanied to Chicago by Delegate-at-Large Wm. H. Hahn, nedrly 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- rison has eighteen out-and-out eupporters, whilé Blaine has about ten and eighteen have xo far expressed no preferences. ‘There is less talk about dark Lorses 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 is not as sure of the success of its candidate as it professes to be. However, there was quite a good deal of McKinley talk indulged in’ yesterday and last night 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, y of his friends were inclined to an- query in the aftirmative. 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 follow: far as Mr. Biaine’s attitude toward this contest is con- cerned, there is no disposition on the part of Harrison's friends to discuss it. ‘The deleg in the republican party will do their own think- ing on the subject and no effort is being made in the Indiana headguarters to give any dit tion to the disenssion. I find my old Califor- nia frien nideay g to determine which of the candidates is safest for the party at lurge. ‘That state is well known to be very partial toward Mr. Blaine. Old-time friends of his on the delegation think. however, that it not the vote of nia alone th: should be consi 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 all the deiegates, it would somewhat surpri me if Mr. Harrison should re sx than on half of the delegation when the time comes to announce their vote. The resignation of Bh a8 I understand, had the effect of bri ing to Mr. Harrison's support three of the de gates from Massachusetts who up to that time id to favor the nomination of Mr. Blaine. ds of the President have no diffieulty in securing the concession that his merits as a public off quantity of availability than any contributed to the party for twenty year do not claim’ that he isa good fellow, sense of calling everybody by his first name, bnt they not given the party anyth: to defend and that men who car in their respective states ion would strengthen ther in their local contests more then any other can- didate named. HARRISON AND BLAINE COMPARED. “A favorable topic of discussion from the delegates and others is the relative strength of ison and Mr. Blaine as is shown by ne test of elections in which they ively and responsible leaders, A rns shows that Mr. Har- x the party where Mr. Mr. Bisine was beaten by Harrison defeated’ Cleveland. son's which willin any manner embarrass the if he is the nominee. So far as the present relative strength of the two men is concerned Mr. Harrison is solid and genuine. Itas known, so far ag it is possible in advance know, that if the convention were to vote to- ay he would receive more than 500 votes. He has been gaining steadily. I have no doubt in my own mind that he will be nominated. I think it entirely probable that this will be so manifest to his apponents before the roll is called that his nomination will be made without opposition. It ought not certainly to be the desire of Blaine’s friends who are now booming him to subject him to the humilfation of defeat if they find that there is no possibility of his nomination.” MR. INGALLS FOR HARRISON. Senator Ingalls, who was one of yesterday's arrivals, did not affiliate with the Harrison leaders during the day. Nevertheless he is a Harrison man and ho does not hesitate to the city, there are stored away 5,000 white umes, as many showy uniforms, several wagon Josds of fags ‘and Uanners, and pictures of ‘Blaine and the outfit for a band of sixty-one pieces, ‘This afternoon, recording to present plans, this stock in trade is to be turned loose on the streets for the benefit of the citizens and visitors already on the ground and of the new arrivals, ‘The whole aim and idea is to have such a gigan- tue howl, sucb an infernal din and racket, and to keep it up #0 long as to make people believe even against their own will and sober thought that no such man as Benjamin Harrison is being of or talked of, and that James @.

But the President's advisers im the present say Bo. ‘Lam for Harrison stmight,” said Mr. In- galls, “and have been. The sentiment of the republicans of Kansas is for Harrison.

He said New York would put the name of J. Sloat Fassett for tem- perary chairman. The Harrison men would present the name of Gen. Horace Porter. GEN. ALGER DENIES THAT HE 18 OUT. ‘The positive denial by Gen. Alger of the re- port that he had withdrawn from the contest | has had a stimulating effect upon the Harrison people, as itis generally understood much if not all of the Alger following will go for Biaine when the Michigan candidate is out of the field. In reality there is no change in the sitnation that Gen. Alger occupies. He has always been understood to be very friendly to Blaine, and it has been repeatedly announced by his man- agers that Alger’s candidacy must not be con- sidered as antagonistic to the great Blaine movement. Gen. Alger has telegraphed the leaders of the Michigan delegation, Congressman Burrows, Col, Duftield and Senator Stockbridge, that he leaves his interests in the hands of his friends and desires them te act at all times as the exi- gencies of the situation may warrant. This is generally understood and is in fact conceded by most of the Michigan delegation to mean that if the vote of Michigan is needed to nominate Blaine on the first ballot Alger is out of the race. Should the convention, how- ever, show any inclination to drop both the con- testants and seek a compromise candidate Gen. Alger is very carnestly and emphatically a can- didate. THE M'KINE.EY MOVEMENT. From the ranks of the great multitude of un- committed and harmony-seeking republicans there has snddenly sprung up a strong move- ment in fayor of McKinley as a compromise candidate. In Ohio alone does this movement fail to evoke the enthusiasm that is requisite to success, ‘The Foraker and Sherman factional contests have long divided the republicans of that state, and the fact that McKinley has re- cently been accused of favoring the Sherman ment has provoked unfeigned hostility from lcertain of the Foraker delegates. Fornker states his beli¢f that Sherman could receive the solid support of Obio should the other states turn to the buckeye delegation for a candidate, but he has made no publie declaration as to the availability of McKinley. Should “Sherman be elevated to the presi- dency the Foraker men would almost certainly triumph in the election of their chief to the Senate as his successor, while no special benefit would result from the elevation of McKinley. Despite the coldness with which the MoKin- 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. CLAINS OF THE COLORED ME: It has been many years since a republican national convention contained so many colored delegates as will be sented in the convention hail tomorrow noon, Asa prelinrinary, a mass meeting of colored delegates and politicians as een held at which the following resolufion adop' ‘Resolved, That the colored delegates to the national republican cogvention here assembled expecially 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 Aseociation, and that the colored delegates stand upon such a deciaration of rights as the last guarantee which they can accept at the hands of the repub- lican party. ‘The memorial will be presented to the convention in the earlier hours by the colored delegates, and it will be espoused by Albion W. Tourgce, the well-known agitator. TOMORROW'S PROCEEDINGS. It is expected that the convention proceedings of tomorrow will be very uneventful so far as their political significance is concerned, unless there should be a contest over the temporary chairmanship, which now appears to be barely possible. In the eagerness for a test of strength majority and minority 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 masa 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, layton, Thurston, Foraker and probably De- pew and McKinley. The complexion of the speakers shows that they are both Blaine and Harrison men, so that the cry of the Harrison people to the effect that it is merely a echeme to boom Blaine will be silenced. NORTH DAKOTA DIVIDED. The North Dakota delegates appear to be sadly divided on the President, but the faction that insists that Blaine’s nomination is neces- sary to party success in North Dakota has se- cured the adoption of a favorable resolution by the legislature of that state. ‘The vice presidency for the first time is being discuseed today, while Rusk and Alger are the names most frequently mentioned. The name of Maj. William Warner of Missouri, ex-Con- gresaman, ex-commander-in-chief of the G. A. R., and now the republican nominee for governor of Missouri, is freely mentioned today. In the northwest Minnesota has two favorite sons who are being strongly spoken of at pres- ent among the delegates, Senator W. D. Wash- burn and Senator C. K. Davis, Either of these two would, it is held, make good Vice Presi- dents in the event of Blaine’s nomination. On the other hand, Senator Washburn has been a strong friend of Mr. Blaine for years, and if the plumed knight is nominated Washburn’s riends think it would be fit and appropriate for him to be placed second on the ticket. eg a ATTORNEY GENERAL MILLER. He Proceeds to Answer a Charge Made by Mr. John M. Langston. Attorney General Miller's attention was to- 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 Intew- Ocean it is said: “It was charged by the speaker agajnst the Attorney General that he 1 not instituted a 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 ge- ported to the Department of Justice and, as I believe, no such lynching ever occurred. So far as I am able to recall, the ouly attack upon a railway mail clerk reported to the depart- since I became Attorney General was the nade on F, G. Bhwvens,a young colored Miss., on the one man, near the town of Aberdeen, 20th of March, 1890. In that case four young men, thinking it not allowable for a colored man'to run as a railway mail clerk onthe Illi nois Central railrcad, fired several shots into the muil car, none of them, however, hitting Mr. Blivens. The United States dis: promptly instituted an investiga the four young men indicted, three of them were convicted on pleas of not’ guil and one on # plea of guilty, two were sentenced to the penitentiary for three years and one to imprisonment for six months and to pay a fino of 3500. ‘The one who pleaded guilty was let off casily. If Mr. Langston knows of any other cave than this, he certainly can and should give name, time and place. ‘The trouble with Mr. Langston and with others who complain that the federal government does not prosecute wrongs intlicted upon colored men is that they fail to realize that, under the con- struction of the constitutional amendments by the Supreme Court, the wrongsgcomplained of are generally not violations of federal rights, and contequently prosecutions therefor cannot be sustained in the federal courts or by the federal governmen The Census Investigation. The census office investigating committee this morning heard O. J. Snyder, who testified that he and two other employes of the office had been engaged for sixteen nights in gather- ing statistics from the bureau of the names to irrigation matters, sot the farmers might be sent copies of the paper. They were’ employed by the pa- r, he suid, and, were paid by it on the same ‘a8 day labor. Witness denied that there was any secrecy about the work and asserted that it was done at nigk* in order to avoid in- terruption to the day work. MR. VEST’S SPEECH. He Talks to the Senate on Free Coinage. THE ANTI OPTION BILL PASSED. It is Put Through Under the Sus- pension of Rules. THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL An Effort Being Made to Get It Into Conference.

Whole sections of seats on both sides were deserted. Messrs. Sherman, Allison, Hale and Chandler were in their accustomed places, however, and Mr. Hill was also in his seat. But all told there was not more than thirty Senators present, and there appeared to be an utter lack of interest in ordinary business. There was a short colloquy as to the proper ref- erence of some petitions to prohibit the manu- facture or importation of cigarettes, on the ground of their injury to public health, the question being between the committee on edu- cation and labor, the committee on finance and the committee on epidemic diseases. Thelatter reference was advocated by Mr. Voorhees, and it was the one which waseventu- ally agreed to. MR. VEST ON FREE WOOL, ‘The consularand diplomatic appropriation bill was lnid before the Senate, but was temporarily lnid aside in order to permit Mr. Vest to ad- dress the Senate on the resolution heretofore introduced by him to discharge the finance com- mittee from the further consideration of the Dill to place wool on the free list and to bring it before the Senate for action. Mr. Vest said that it was not his purpose to invade the province of the national demo- cratic convention to be held in Chicago. He had expressed his opinion freely and clearly to democrats in relation to the policy which he thought the democratic’ party “ought Yo pursue. He had no explanation, excuse or apology to make for any utterance made by him on that question. — He was onsible to the democrats of Missouri and not to any self-constituted tribunal inside or outside of the Senate chamber. He was no strategist and no _ advocate of the claim of any particular candidate for the presidency. Ifhe were a member of the Chicago convention he would cast his vote and use his influence for the nomination of that man who conlisncceed in the coming canvass on the well-known democratic platform in favor of tariff reform and against all claes interests, He had not believed and did not believe now that the free coinage of silver constituted the leading issue before the American people. It was hardly necessary for him to tay that he favored bi- metallism. He favored the extension of the same rights to silver that were now given to gold. He was unable to sec why (when silver and gold were both the money of the Constituion) the American _ citizen who dug silver out of the ground should be denied the same right to mint it that was given to his neighbor who owned a gold mine on adjacent territory. But the great and ient difference that was disrupting both po- litical parties was pot in regard to bimetallism, but in regard to the ratio between the two metals. The contest between the two great parties of the country in 1890 had been in Tegard to taxation, not in regard to the free coinage of silver, and in that contess the demo- cratic party had made large gains. He be- Kieved that there would be a compromise on the silver question, that the ratio would be changed and thatfree coinage would come, because it was right and because the overwhelming mass of the people were in favor of it. cratic himsel! lation to the ratio, SECRETARY FOSTER'S RECENT STATEMENT. Reforring to Secretary Foster's recent state- ment in New York that, in order to obtain gold to buy silver he would (if necessary} isue United States bonds, Mr. Vest declared, with emphasis, that if Mr. Foster did so he would be impeached by a democratic House of Rep- resentatives arid tried by the Senate for violating the Constitution and the laws. In the c 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 against it now, as proposed in Mr, Stewart's bill,’ but that the Senator from Missouri did him injustice in saying that he was op- posed to silver as @ money metal. It hadal ways been a money metal, he said, and it wasa money metal—ther2 being $400,000,000 silver dollars in the treasury ‘The democratic party stood together abso- lutely on the tariff, while it was wide apart in regard to free coinage, and therefore the tariff question was the one to be pressed upon public attention. The wool feature was the salient one in the McKinley act and the one on which action should now be taken. HE HOUSE. Before the raading of the journal Mr. Cooper (Ind.) raised the point that no quorum was present (although the attendance was as large as any Which has been in the House at 11 o'clock since that hour has been fixed upon for the daily meeting), and a roll call was ordered. Cooper's point was interjected as an ob- stacle to the river and harbor bill,and not as an mism to the anti-option bill, beth of measures are expected to be brought up One hundred and eighty-nine mem- bers—more than a quorum —responded to their names and the clerk proceeded to read the jour- nal of Saturday, and it was approved, THE ANTI-OPTION TILL. Mr. Hatch (Mo.) was immediately recognized and moved to suspend the rules and pass the anti-option bill. Mr. Cummings (N. Y.) demanded a second, pending which Mr. Hatch asked that the report of the committee be read—the time consumed in the reading not to be taken out of that as signed to the ndvocates and opponents of the measure. As the report is_a voluminous docu- ment, the reading of which would consume an hour or two, Mr. Blanchard (La.), im the inter- est of the river and harbor bill, objecte: whereupon he asked that a second be considered asordered. Bu: here he was met with an objec- tion from Mr. Cummings. Messrs. Hatch and Cummings were thereupon appointed tellers on ihe demand for a second. ‘opponents of the anti-option bill, as a rule, refrained from voting, in order to break a quorum; but the effort was unavailing, as the vote resulied— 156-11. ‘On a second having been ordered, Mr. Cul- berson asked unanimous consent that the de- bate be extended to two hours—but thirty min- utes being allowed under the rules—and again Mr. Blanchard came forward with his objection. Mr. Hatch, made a few vigorous remarks in support measure, Ww! was to put astop to the practice of dealing in’ farm products not on the ownership of prop- erty or on the right derived from the owner to sell it for future delivery. OPPOSED TO THE BILL. Mr. Herbert (Als.) opposed the bill on con- stitutional grounds, as did also My.

CUMMINGS AGAINST IT.

Tt was fit that this measure should bé put through at dead of night, “when churchyards Yawn and hell itself breathes out contagion to this world.” é Mr. Henderson (Towa) declared that this was a battle between the great money centers and the great means of production. ‘This same con- flict about the Constitution had been fought over the oleomargarine bill and — the question had been settled. The _ ill Provided for revenue, with incidental protection, and that was broad enough for all. Congress had stricken down the Louisiana | tery, whose victims were voluntary. Would it refuse to strike down the greater evil, whose victims were involuntary and who protested against the crime? Mr, Hatch, in the minute for him, said he had fought for his honest con- Victions. The bill was now before the H As the gentleman from Iowa, Mr. Henders had said, this was flict between the farm- ers and the boards of trade. TE BILL PASSED. The motion of Mr. Hatch was agreed to— Yeas, 168; nays, 46—and accordingly the bill was passed, Instantly Mr. Blanchard (Towa) was on his feet and recognized by the Speaker. Mr. Cooper (Ind.) interpolated a motion to adjourn, but the Speaker stated that he had not been recognized. Because a gentleman rose and asked for recognition was no reason why he should be recognized. ‘The first two sections of the bill define “op- and “futures:” the third names as t to which they shall relate us “cotton, wheat, corn, ate, rye. barley, | Brass seed, flax seed, pork and other edible products, of swine; and the four imposes a icense of $1,000 on dealers in options and fu- tures and a tax of five cents on each pound of cotton, hops, pork, lard, bacon and other edible product of swine and 20 cents a bushel on each bushel of the other articles which are the subject of any “options” or “futures” contract which such dealer as vendor shall make, either in his own behalf or on behalf of others, THE RIVER AND HARDOR BILL. Thereupon Mr. Blanchard moved to suspend the rules to non-concur in ihe Senate amend- ments to the river and harbor appropriation bill and to agree to a conference. Mr. Holman (Ind.) demanded asecond, which was ordered—veas 155, nays 13. pare AT THE CAPITOL, which was reserved GOSSIP Some Talk of a Third Man—Allison and Me- Ki “If were on the ground at Minneapo should work fora compromise cs remark came from a prominent Representa- tive of the republican persuasion from a northern state, and a man who has been an earnest advorate of Mr. Harrison’s nomination, The remark also voices a large portion of the sentiment at the Capitol today, and espécially so among Harri- son men, who have undoubtedly lost a con. siderable portion of their faith in the certainty of the President receiving the nomination. | The names of Allison and McKinley are} whispered as available, and especially is Aliron | talked of in the’ event of dark | hor: p.

SPEAKING OF A NEW MAX. Ashas been said it is mainly the Harrison men who are speaking of a new man; the Blaine men have their eye firmly fixed on one light and refuse to be diverted. Mr. Milliken says it isa settled thing on the first ballot for the magnetic gentleman from Maine, and simply deplores the fact that he is not there to help cheer when the nomination is announced. _ “It is purely guess work at this end of the line,” said Mr. Grout, an earnest Harrison man. “Ihave no doubt that on Saturday when Mr. But | It seems. however, that the walls of the Harri- he did not propose to read out of the demo- | ¢on citadel failed to crumble at the firat blast of party men who stood by the same flag as | the trumpet, and at present because the difference was merely in re- | far as I can see, to even Bluine sent in his resignation he felt assured that his friends had he convention in hund. t it is impossibl e88 at the result.

It cannot be denied, however, that there isa strong an@ vigorous opposition to hit. With Mr. Blaine as a candidate the country would see the most prolific erop of _mugwumps ever produced, and if to the natural opposition to both men is added the fruits of a bitter fight before the convention it would seem the wisest thing to drop both men and nominate some one without these elements of weakness.” MR. RLAINE’S SUCCESSOR. There is very little talk at the Capitol in re- gard to Mr. Blaine’s successor in the State De- partment. Itseems to be recognized that the result of the convention will have everything to do with who the man will be. Provided the President should be nominated, some espec- ially prominent man who world strengthen the administration would undoubtedly bechosen and in this regard Chauncey Depew seems to be most talked of. In case, however, that some one else receives the prize a general chift in the cabinet is expected, with probably Mr. Tracy transferred to the State Department. TO RECORD THE BALLOTS. A big blackboard was rigged up in the offi of the secretary of the Senate today on which the resulis of the ballote at Minne- apolis will be recorded as fast as : are received from the convention hail. The nimes of the states in alphabetical order are printed on the board, so that Senators may fol- low closely the progress of the balloting as the different states are called.

Secretary of the Treasury Foster was seen by a reporter last night and the Secretary, while refraining from expressing himself at length on the subject of Mr. Blaine’s resignation, sai that the administration was perfectly satis at the turn of affairs, “an inued the Secretary, “I think Mr. Blain ion has in- jered him rather than benefited him.” Further than this Mr. Foster declined to talk. MR. BLAINE IS A CANDIDATE, James G. Blaine is a candidate for the re- publican presidential nomination. 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 sprang largely and continuously out of the fact that Mr. Blaine hitnself has refrained from making such an announcement. Pub- licly he has not mude the announcement even yet, but he is in the field neverthless, It was so Stated to the President yesterday, but Gen. Harrison refused to believe the somewhat be- clouded testimony. Today the statement repeated and in its support was produced ev dence that satisfied even the President of Mr. Blaine’s activity in his own behalf. This was, it is enid, more of a shock than was the resigna- tion which was conveyed from the State Depart- ment to the Executive Mansion on Saturday.

BLAINE’S DEPARTURE UNCERTAIN. It is said at Mr. Blaine’s residence that it is not known when he will leave Washington and that it is not known whether he has himself de- cided when he will leave. At the State Department some ple said he would leave tomorrow, others at he would leave the next day and a few thought he might leave today. Itis learned that Mr. Blaine feels the warm weather now prevailing in Washington, and al- though his residence has probably the most for- tunate location in the city for coolness and breczinesa except the White House, Mr. Blaine longs for the bracing air of Bar Harbor and will departfor his summer home before the week has waxed much older.
