i A Ml e DISAPPOINTED AT THE NEWS ‘Washington Hoped For a Nomina- tion on Yesterday. HARRISON'S FRIENDS CONFIDENT Sherman and Allison Not Pleased With the Sitnation--McKinley a Favorite With Bis Fellow Congressmen. Adjournment Displeased Them. WASHINGTON BUneat Tire Oyama | 513 FoURTEENTH STREET, Wasnixatos, D, C., June was disappointed when the adjourned over this Everybody Chlicago convention afternoon to Monday, It was universally ex pected that a nomination would be made within at the most three or four ballots. It was conceded on all hands that, with Blaine out of the question, the contest stood be- tween Harrison and Allison, with McKinley and Porter as likely dark horses. Shortly after the adjournment a dispatch was re- ceived and posted, announcing that 535 dele gates had had a consultation and had ar- ranged for adjournment, so as to organize ngainst the threatened attempt to run Mr. Blaine into the convention, and that it meant the placing of Blaine beyond the possible pale of becoming a compromise man, This was refreshing to the great bulk of republicans in Washington who want a new candidate, The friends of General Harrison nre yet confident of success, They hold that the logic of the situation points to their man, and that time will only make him stronger. Wien the bulletin was received at the ho of representatives this morning announcing that Representative McKinley of Ohio had taken the platform inthe convention, to with @raw his name and renew his fealty to S tor Sherman, it was instantly whispered anout that Mr. McKinley wus to be put up to defeat Harrison, and that McKinley would likely be the nominee. The announcement caused covsiderable surprise in some quarters, while in others it was received in o matter of-fact way. Sen- ator Sherman, who spent the day in his com- mittee room at the capitol was not greatly pleased with the statement in the bulletin and shrugged his shoulders significantly. Senator Allison, who also spent the day in in his commitiee room, sighed and those whout him wrked that M ction aneant more t wppeal for was the almost universal belief ley would be nominated on the b followed. Senator Sherman stated to a friend cowmittee room that if o taken last night have been nomin: states than New McKin- lot which in his lot had been son would re other Wisconsin which wore ready to go over to Harrison. 1t is bo- Yieved that he had in mind Pennsylvania, Michigan and possibly O that he did not now belie: be nominated, although the delegation would have great influcnce naming the nommee. About 12 o'clock 1t wags ported _m the corridors of ouse side that Representative kins of Kansas and Mr. Burrows of gan had circulated a_telegram, addressed to certain prominent dolegates in the conven- tion, advising the nomination of Major M Kinley, and that it had been signed by ncar: all of the republican members at that time ¢ the floor of the house, I made diligent in quiry as to the truthfulness of this report, and could not trace it. The two gentleman denied that any such telegram had been sent by them, Here are at least two men whose names have figured prominently before the conven- tion and who are immensely popular with the people about congress—Senator Allison and Representative McKinley. Their o unaffected and uniform courtesy to body have made them popular with every one who comes in contact with them. Al Eaton, of Ottumwa, Ta., 18 in the city.

The native Californians, when that state was a Mexican province, scldom did anything which they could not do on horseback. They were fumous as good riders, and astory is told of a horseman of San Jose who won o we by his extraordinary horsemanship. He tarted at full galiop, holding a salver on which were a dozen win ses filled to the brim, Riding fiity yards, he stopped suddenly and handéd” down the salver without having spilled adrop of the wine. These men wore, morcover, 0 expert with the lusso that two men would a bear on the plains, and, holding him on opposite sides, drag Bruin into the settlement, where he was retained to furnish sport by fighting a bull, ~ Manuel Larios, an expert with the 1asso, had a singular adventure with a bear. H. H. Bancroft tells the story in his “California Pastoral,” While riding he discovered a bear digging at a squirrel hole upon the sum- mit of a hill. Ho lassoed the besr, which rushed at him, and Lavios gal- loped off with the bear close to his borsa’s heels, On reaching asmall tree, he threw the end of the lasso over a branch, and, catching it without stopping. drew the bear up until his hind feet reely touched the ground, Then ho took 1w turns round the tree with the lass tightly drawn, alighted, and secured the end to a strong shoot. Having tied one of the bear’s hind legs with one end of a rope, he lassoed one of the fore legs with the other end, drew the rope taunt and_thus fastened tho animal to the tree. With a sash he tied the two hind legs together, and with a rope the fore legs, With a stick he then worked off his lagso, which he bad loosened, and rode off to a neighboring ranch, whero he told the story of his adventure, Larios and the ranchmen rode back toward the tree where he had left Bruin tied, While passing a rye-field a large she bear, with three cubs, leaped up in front of their horses. The men pur- sued and lassoed her three times, but she throw off the lasso each time. At last they abandoned the mother for her cubs. The horseman leaped from his horse, seized & cub, and, tying its leg together, threw it on the front of his saddle. Larios ran down hill after the #econd cub, overtook it, let himself wrtly down over the horse’s side, seized w leg of the cub, lussoed it while gallop- ng, let it go and pulied it along, The third eub escaped. The bear was found tied to the tree.

The Nebraska Chautauqua. neTE, Neb., June 23.—[Specialto Tne Bee.]—Of all the improvements made on the assembly grounds this yaar, probably those made on the pavillion will be most appreci- ated by the general multitude of assembly goers. This queer structure, which, in shape, is not unlike a_huge tortoise, has been cn- larged by substantial frame additions on three sides—sixteen feet on the east and west, and thirty-two foet on the north. This doubles the seating capitcity and makes the entire building 112x128. The ground thus covered is nicely graded and smoothed, and will be filled with comfortable new benches. Six thousand people can now find ample room in the pavillioyy and, by the use of chairs, and as much expert crowding as was often indulged in last year, another thousand ight be sheltered under its roof. B2As the time for the beginnmg of the as- sembly draws near the prospects for an_ im- mense attendance daily brighten and multi- ply. . Reports of the intended attendance of individuals or companics ure received in large numbers by every mail. Rev., Lind- sey, of the Congregational church, of rk, has, while in Crete attending the commenc ment exercises of Doane college this week, engaged ten tents for members of his church wlho propose attending the assembly. This is a fair instance of the active interest now being manifested by churches all over the state. Lodge No. 11, of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, of Lincoln, has lately purchased a lot on the assembly grounds aud planned to crectn §2,000 headquarters, As it will be impossibie to erect their building before the beginning of the coming session, they will piteh a large tent on their lot for a headquarters this year, and have their huild- ing ready for another year. The Y. M. C. A. headquarters, aithough begun but a few duays since, are already well under way and will be finfshed "ere the required time, All the buildings now under process of ercction will be ready for occupancy at the begin ning of the session. The grounds are now being mowed, the trees trimmed and everything got in readiness for the pitching of tents and tho accommodation of numerous guests. The worth and attractiveness of the musical de- tment will be increased not a little by the addition of Mrs. P. V. M. Raymond, the efficient and well known organist of Linzoln. This lady bhas long been the valued organist for one of the largest churcnes in the capital city, and her rare talent is admired by all who know her.

The drift of the talk is for state rights and free trade, of the party’s love for Grover and admiration for the bandana, The speakers frequently pause in anticipation of a demonstration which re- winds one of the elearing of an April show A move is on foot to organiza a Clevetand club if a sufficient number of the party is on hand to fitl the oftices, They will probubl. adjourn spontancously soon, the hall now being nearly empty.

The interest is calculated on Deeember 31, and at that time eredited to the account of the depositor. Additional deposits arc also received for immediate investment m government stock for the payment of premiums on insurance and for the pur of annuities.

Banks are well supplied with loanabl® funds, aud the demand for money from all sources was fairly active, though ap- parently o very large sums were wantod. Owing to the influx of visitors to the city, trade in all departments has been active, o8 pecially, among wholesale merchants. The movement of currency to the interior was moderately large, though not as froe as dur- ing the last throe weeks, as receipts of grain and Hvestock were not as liberal. Commis- sion houses forwarded considerable money to their customers in some scctions, and re- ceived fair amounts in roturn from others, Speculative trading was fairly active, and attended with some excitoment at times, but operators were only moderato bor- rowers and chiefly in the way of placing margins. Shippers of grain and provisions seck very fow favors from bankers and packers aro virtually out of the market. Lumber merchants prosented very little paper for discount and wero readily accommodated. Wholesale mer- > not disposed to borrow much , as they ave not increasing their sup- plies to any extent and collections are quite good. Rates of interest are well supported at b@slg per cent on call and 5¢@7 por cent Ou time paper.

Early sales were made at 25¢ premium per §1,000, but luter in the week shippers' bills changed hands at par to 25¢ discount and the market closed quiet.

I'he “‘shorts,” too, were fnclined to purchase to some extent to provide for outstanding contracts, Wall street oporators were the principal buyers. Forcign speculators traded moderately but Western operators were not inclined to do much. Trading during the week was lamgely in 8pecialtios. The ggre- wate sules on the New York stock exchunge for the week were 1,000,000 shaves, ousiderable interest wus manifested in the speculative market during the week but the feeling was unsettied and nervous during the preaier portion of the time, a companied with rather more than the usual irregularity in pr The record of the week’s trade indicates that the bear interests Lve virtually had control of the situation, o8 ot exhibited , and the feel: al'way.

Under the influence of very good weather for growing erops, and rather unfavorable adyices from foreign markets, and a general slackening in the shipping demand, there*has been a little more pressure to sell grain of all kinds for future delivery and a corresponding slack- cning in the demand.
