=~ THURMAN HAS OPPOSITION. * “Demoocrats Certain on the Head, But Undecided on the Tail. | CLEVELAND ASKING TOO MUCH. The Gathering Faithful Consider He Should Be Graclous Enough to Permit Them to Have a Little Something to Say. At the Camping Grounds. §t. Louis, June 2. —Chairman Barnum ar- rived early this morning, but could not be soen. Congressman Scott, the Pennsylvania member of the committee, reached the city this morning. He stated that although he ‘had had no conference with a few of the members of the national committeo who are mow in St. Louis, yet General Collins, of Massachusetts, would undoubtedly be chosen + pormanent chairman of the convention. He “could not say as to what the committee would determine upon as to the temporary _ehairmanship of the convention. The Mary- \ and delegates and a portion of the Indiana, Connecticut and Arizona delegations arrived ! here this morning. William 8. Wilson . thought Thurman's nomination was most generally favored by the Maryland people. +n the event of his refusal to be a candidate Efllrylund will favor & western man, mclin- ng towards Indiana and Illinois, with Indi- ana preferred. The Pacific coast delegates are actively at ‘work in the interest of Stephen M. White for ' temporary chairman of the convention and express the belief that he will be nominated Ay acclamation as soon us the committes meots. Scnator Gorham, of Maryland, dis- claims all desire to wield tha gavel during _the opening hours and openly espouses the eandidacy of Governor White. The resolu- fions to go before the convention are begin- ning to take shape. Utah and Nevada are 'figuring on the silver plauk, while others confine thomselves to endorsing the policy of jthe udministration. Though the vast majority of the dem- 7 ocrats who have gathered here to attend the *"“convention believe Judge Thurman will be nominated for vice president almost without ruopposition, the matter is by no means sottled. All efforts to induce Congressman . .Scott, who represents the president, to speak Jon the vice presidency have failed. The ! friends of Governor Gray have approached ‘him for the purpose of ascertaining what his wishes are without gaining the slightest sat- J-Batisfuction. Governor Gray’s friehds prac- (Rically admit that if Thurman is vthe adminis- “'tration’s choice he will be the nominee, but Scott's reticence has given them some hope, 7, 8nd they are to-night hard at work. To-mor- Tow they will call in a body on the delegates from the Pacific coast at the headquarters of . the latter. The coast men declare that " Thurman’s popularity with their people is B0 great if the republicans should make a momination unsatisfactory to the Pacific Btates, the threo states of the slope can be carried for the democracy. Gray men meet this argument with the statement . that Indiana is likely to be the great battle * ground, and that the democracy could in no way make surer of it than to nominate Gray. A Amon:f the best informed persons here, there is but little doubt that Congressman Scott came here with the intention of nominating Judge Thurman: they say the entire pro- ramme for the convention—ticket and plat- forn—was arrangeda few daysago in Wash- i g:l ton, and all that now remains to be done or the convention to ratify Cleveland’s * awishes. At the same time Scott has discov- ered that there is considerable opposition to \ghe plan of allowing the administration to dictate everything, and he is timid about vowing his programme, fearing the 1ll-effect hat might follow such a course. He has 8o fur been very cautious not to commit himself to Thurman or anybody else. One of Governor Gray’s licutenants said . o-night: “We are willing New York and Cleveland’s friends should make the head of make the platform and select _Yemporary and permanent chairmen of the convention, but we are not willing they shall 0 a step further and name the vice pr Jdent southern delegates are said to be for General Black but it is intimated that his name will not be presented to the con- vention. The objection to Senator Thurman on ac count of his age appears to be making ay. Dennis O'Brien, a delegate from York, says New 'York wants an Indiana man on the ticket. it has been settled that Chapin of Brooklyn is to the speech nominating Cleveland. As to ., the platform, it is agreed it will reaflirm the the tariff plank of 1584 and endorse the president’s message, but will probably omit -any reference to the Mills bills, Considerable complaint is made by dele- ates over the arrangementof the convention Aall. Of 3,300 seats in the two galleries, it is claimed fully 1,000 are so situated that their pecupants will be unable to sce the delogates :below. Chairman Barnum and Senator orman suggested to the local committee hat the seats in the gallerics be put upon an shncline, but it was developed that the hall is o be used next week for the Suengerbund, jpud that the seats in the galleries must be E»nw ed level and be made temporary so that hey can be takens out and small tables | pubstituted for the convenience of beer rinkers, The arrangements in regard to the (press table were all overturned this after- Eoon. the national committee finally realizing ,that the arrangements of space and tables swero eutirely unsuitable, The coast delegates have consented to a proposition, originating with Maryland, to fBnter a cavcus to-morrow morning for the purpose of uniting on u candidate for the ¥ice presidency. The coast delegates met .%his afternoon and agreed to discuss the expediency of a combine. Their sccond choice is Dickinson, whose nawme 18 advanced /ps the choice of the administration. Indiana 185 a party to the combine and that state will e solid for Gray, as the delegates say they seannot hope for & successful campaign with- cout Thurmun on the ticket, A report was wired from here yesterday stating that ‘HSenator Hearst had telegraphed the Examiner of San I'rancisco to cease advocating Thur- #aman, snd on the strength of this report “gossip had it that the senator was making an effort to_capture the place on the national Ricket. The senator says he never sent such B message, and says the coast dolegates are solid for Tnurman but the situation is changing all the time, and a better man may Ve found who will be ptavle tothe party. Political Tips From St. Louis, The Indiana delegation organized this afternoon by electing John G. Shanklin, of Evansville, chairman, and J, T, Henderson, | of Kokowo, secretary. . W. W. Armstrong, Ohio member of the na- -~ tional democratic committee, says the nomi- smation of Thurman for viee president will . force the republicans to nominate Sherman or wake Obio a doubtful state. W. D. English, chairman of the democratic committee of California, expressed himself a8 highly gratified by the announcement that Judge Thurman would accept ihe nomnation fTor the vice presidency Williuw R, Morrison was approached on the Thurman candidacy. He said: “Well, 4f he wants it, T don't think there will be any trouble about getting it for him.” If Thur- wman is not in the race Colonel Morrison 15 for Giray A special thain filled with Tammany braves left New York for St. Louis at 2:30 this af- ternoon.

The New cratic national land delogates to the demo couvention passed through Buffulo, N: Y., this worning. There were 108 in the party. The Cleveland democracy of the vity left at 5 o’cluck for St. Louis, oc- ‘cupying & train of six sleepers. At a meetiug of the Maryland delegation this afternoon the general scutiment was in Luvor of Governor for second place on the ticket. While Thurwan was favorably spoken of, it was generally thought a younger and more vigorous man should be nominated. “Ihie Mississippi delegution left Jackson to- pight in a special car for St. Louis.

If he is a candidate I suppose W consin is for him. The only objection is his ago. If I were selecting a candidate T would look California over carefully first, where wo need strength.” “How about ex-Governor Stoneman ! “He would not do, he is phys feeble now." “Do you think you can carry Wisconsin?" No, the democrats are in the minorit is the labor vote that holds the balan: power. There issome tall of fusion between the democrats aad the labor party. On a fusion the republicans would be defeated.” “Iam carrying a_lightning rod myself said Mayor Ames of Minneapolis, chairman of the Minnesota delegation, when ques- tioned about the vice presidency. “If Thur- man will accept T will vote for him, ' think we need a younger man.'’ Speaking seriously Mayor Ames said his name would be sprung at the proper time if Thurman was not brought forward and that he was going to St. Louis early in his own interest. nd cally too HALSTEAD'S VIEWS, He Thinks Sherman the Strongest of Republican Candidates.

KANsAs City, June 2.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bre.]—Dr. John A. Brooks, the nom- ince of the prohibition party for vice presi- dent, returned from the Indianapolis conven- tion this morning. When questioned as to the convention and his nomination he said: “Our gathering was a grand and imposing af- fair, the most enthusiastic of any 1 the his- tory of our party. There were a thousand delegates and an cqual number of alternates, many of whom were among the best and most prominent cf cians of the country. Colonel George W. Buam, of Kentucky, and John Tanner, of Alabama, were both prominently mentioned for the vice presidency, and had they not positively withdrawn their names from the convention 1 never would have con- sented to my nomination. I expectto spend a good deal of time between now and election on the stump in different parts of the try. 1believe the party has mented its strength and will poll a largely increased vote over that of 154, Every ndication would secm to point that way.” We have a party orgamization now in about half the counties of this state, but steps will be taken at once to organize the other counties and ina_short time wo shall have the straight prohibition ticket all over the state.

SUNSET'S DAY T0 BE FUNMY. He Makes Pathetic Appeals For Free Wooden Clothes Pins. THE LONG DEBATE OVER LUMBER It Will Continue For at Least Ten Days Yet—A Number of Appro- priation Bills Will Remain Unfinished. The Humorist of the House. WasniNaTox Bureav Tie OMAnA Bre, 518 FOURTERNTI STREET, Wasmnerox. D. C., June 2. Lumber furnished the topic for discussion in the house to-day, as it has nearly allof the week, No progress was made and no vote taken, except on the various amendments of- fered. There were hundreds of little spe c8 and a rapid crosstire of words kept up all the afternoon. Sunset Cox, in replying to a strong appeal by Mr, Burrows, of Michigan, in favor of protection to the forests, created a good deal of amusement and interest by leaving his seat and moving around on the republican side and appealing alternately in pathetic and humorous tones to the repub- licans to give the people free clothes-pins, washbeards, sawbucks, and lumber for shel- tering the human family. He made a very funny speech, and stirred up several extreme protection observations. There have been over a hundred amendments offered to the lumber schedule, and unless something is done to shut off the procedure lumber will not be passed over for some days yet. Chair- man Mills says he will let the free- and-easy debate continue for ten days or two woeks, when the democrats propose to have an amendment to the rules adopted whereby the chair can suppress all kinds of dilatory motions, eut out extrancous propositions and debate, and boil the work to the lowest point. He declares a vote must be taken on the bill within six weeks, and that if some- thing is not done they will be no nearer the finisii next September than at present. He acknowledges that he expected most of the debate to be had on free lumber and free wool, but that the outlook indicates a pro- longed wrangle over almost cvery material proposition in the bill. FAILING APPROPRIATIONS, Senator Allison, who is chairman of the committee on appropriations, said this after- noon that at least a half-dozen appropriation bills would remain unfinished at the expira- tion of the present fiscal year, and that it would be necessary to adopt joint resolutions continuing the present appropriations if there is avoided a period when the governor has no money 1o meet its current obligations. The legislative, executive and judicial appropria tion bill, which has been before the house for a couple of weeks, and is pending there al- most completed, will require two wecks time for consideration before the senate commit- tee on appropriations, and then it will elicit two weeks debate. When it comes up in the senato for action. The senate will undoubt- edly move a number of amendments, which will require considerable time on the part of the conference committee, and the prospects that this bill will not be readv to go to the president for his signature untila way into July. The sundry civil, the naval and one or two other important appropriation bills will be ieft over at the end of the month. All of this delay is due to the faiture on the part of house committee to report the measures in time, MISCELLANEOUS, ‘The supervising architect of the treasury has sent to Secretary Fairchild an estimate of #1600 required to furnish the federal building at Council Bluffs, and the secretary has transmitted the recommendation to the house committee on appropriations with a request that provision be made for it.

Th extended proboscis troubled him so much that he made a vow that when he met a man o had o longer one he would present him with asilver half dollar, with the proviso that the man who got the half dollar would do likewise when he came across a man who was superior in this line than himself. When Jerry appeaved in public he was greeted with all kinds of compli- ments upon the size of his nose, and it got to be a common thing for him to be saluted with “*Hello, Jevry! how’s your figure-head?” or “*Well, pump-handle, how do wag to-day¥’ or kindred re- marks.

Drummer George Murray Mutilated For Life Because He Insisted on Renewing an Acquaintance of His Youthful Days. The Murray Mutilation. Ciicaco, June 2.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bre.]— Robert H. Bell, who cut off George K. Murray’s ear, was caught to-night. The motive for the mayhem, according to the police, is jealousy. Murry and Mrs. Bell, who is a very handsome woman, were very friendly, had gone together to the thea: tres, parties and outdriving, Bell had be- come furiously jealous and gave it out that he was going to kill Murray on sight. Murray went to see Lawyer Judah about it and was advised to get outa peace warrant, but he didn't, Yesterday he called to sce Mr. Judah again but found him out. It wa while writing a note to the attorney in the cigar store in the Adam’s express building that Bell stepped up to him, pulied his ear tuunt with his left hand and deftly sliced off the member, marking the man for life. The penalty for mayhem is twenty years in the penitentiary. Mr Murray was seen this afternoon in his room at tho Hotel Grace. Heis a stout man of full habit, with dark hair, white at the close- 1y trimmed sides of his head, and sprinkled with gray in the foretop. His mustache is gray. “Mrs. Bell and 1, he said, “were friends when she was a little girl. We drifted apart and I didn't see her till about two months figo, when I met her on the street.

JENNY LIND'S TRIUMPH, How She Came, Saw and Cong St. Lounis People, Wyman hall has long since disap- poared, says the St. Louis Post-Dis- patch: The recent death of Dr. Bd- ward Wyman recalls to the memory of many old citizens the building that was situated just west of the present loca- tion of the granite building, which for years was a famous place in the annals of St. Louis, as in the second story was located the only large hall of which the city could boast until the erection of the Mercantile Library building. During 1849 and 1850 & number of en- tertainments were given in Wyman's hall, but the spring of 1851 was itz time of glory. Early in February of that year St. Louis was flooded with large posters and small handbills an- nouncing the arrival in the city of Jenny Lind, the famous “‘Swedish Nightingale,” who at that time was on her triumphant tour through the coun- try ander the management of the great showman, Phineas T. Barnum. Mr. Barnum's advance agent, after making a careful inspection of all the theatres then in oxistence,decided that Wyman's hall was the only suits place in which to give the concert, and engaged the hall for three evenings, paying what was then considered the enormous sum of 31500 as rent. In order to accommodate as many auditors as possible, a temporary gallery was erccted, capable of sedting some 500 people. Jenny Lind was announced to appear on March 18, and two days before that time Mr. Barnum arvived in the city, lodging atthe old city hotel at that time kept by Mr. Theron Barnum. It had been determined to fix the price of tickets at; $5, and to_sell the choice of seats at auction. On the morning of the 17th_of March an immense crowd gathered at the auction room, com- ising among its number nearly all the eading citizens of St. Louis. So great was the throng that only a small por- tion of those in attendance could obtain admission to the room, and it was de cided to charge an admission fee of ten cents, the proceeds to be devoted to chavitable purpos P.T. Barnum took the rostrum, and after expatinting upon the great treat in store for St. Louis and letting fall o hint that unless satisfactory results at- tended the auction Jennie Lind would not sing, offered the seats for sale The competition for first choice was very keen. Mr. Samuel Johnson, at that time the most fashionable hatter in the city, bid as high as 100, but re- tired from the contest when an Ttalian merchant, doing business on Second reet, bid $150, thereby securing fivst choice. Mr. Johnson secured second choice, Sm_\ing #100 for the privilege. Half, a dozen seats sold at a premium of 3 me fifteen or twenty at #50, u large number at $25, while scarcely a seat sold for less than 85 in addition to the price of the ticket. On the night of the concert the hall was packed with the most fashionable audience ever assembled in St. Lows. For squares about the hall the streets were jammed with anattentive throng, anxious to catch at least a few notes of the voice of the Swedish Nightingale. On Maroh 20 Jenny Lind gave a second concert, on the 22d a third, and on the 26th, by special request, a fourth. On the morning of the 27th, just be- fore her departure, she sent a che $2,000 to Luther M. Kennett, mays the city, to be devoted to purposes.

WEEKLY BUSINESS REVIEW. An Increased Demand For Money in All Directions. INTEREST RATES RULE EASY, New York and Forelgn Exchange in Fair Request—8tocks Unsettled and Irregular—Heavy Trading With the Produce Market. More Money Wanted. Cricaco, June 2.—[Special Telegram to the Beg.]—Considerable activity was mani- fested in local financial affairs during the week, The demand for money was brisk, and in the aggregate banks were well sup- plied with loanable funds, and no dificulty was experienced among borrowers in obtal ing all the accommodations called for. Lib- eral receipts of grain, especially of corn and oats, increased the demand from the interior for moncy and shipments were considerably enlarged. In turn, this has improved collec- in some distrigts, and city merchants ucceeded in enlarging their bank bal- ances to some extent. The speculative trade in grain and provisions has increased its de- mand for monoy, as margins have boen called pretty freely and operators required some as- sistance in paying for property delivered on June contracts. Farmers are about through with their spring work in most sections, and their spare time betwoen now and harvest will be employed in forwarding such prodncts as they may have on hand and for which the prospect of a bountiful yield is encouraging. Consequently bankers look for a fair demand for money from commission mer- chants in the receiving and shipping branches of trade. The lumber interest presented a littie more paper for discount, and merchants were readily accomodated. The wholesale meecantile trade was less urgent in their demands, yet they required consider- able ussistance, of a temporary character. Rates of interest were quite satisfactory to borrowers and ranged at 5@5}¢ per cent on call and 5147 per cent _on time paper. In eastern financial centers money continues casy and borrowers in all branches of trade are’ readily accommodated at 1@ per cent on call and 414 @6 per cent on mercantile time puper.
