The question recurring on the Ala
bsma case, Mr., EnsOr replied 10 the ar
gument Of the minority report and pre-
scented a statement of the facts out Of
which the conflict grew, and claimed
that the convention of the Oath of May
last was the legitimate Republican State
Convention and its delegates beyond
reasonable question are the only regular
members Of this body. He argued that
if a part Of the members of this conven-
ton, after its adjournment yesterday,
had reassembled and nominated aPresi-
dent aud Vice President, without the
knowledge and cooperation Of the re-
mainder, such action would be precisely
similar to that under which tie anti
Spencer delegates we're sent here.
The minority recommended the admis-
sion of the Spencer delegates, and the
reading Of their names was received
with mingled applause and Kisses
neither very pronounced.
The minority report was signed by
eleven members of the committee, A
division Of the question was called for in
order to take the question first on all ex-
eept the Alabama case.
Cessna remarked be had learned that
neither delegation from the District Of
Columbia was regular, and moved to
amend the report by substituting the
name Of Fred Douglass for that Of
Bowen, thus giving each Of the contest
ing delegations one vote.
A Virginia delegate contended that
there was no evidence sustaining Cess
mas claim Of irregulsrity of Bowen, and
Green charged that Cessna's suggestion
was prompted only because Douglass
sympathized in his own view as to can
dida.es.
Ensor certified hat the committee
was nearly unanimous in the decision
that the Bowen delegation was entirely
regular.
Cessna, amid great confusion and re-
peated interruptions, withdrew his mo-
ton.
The report Of the committee on all
points save the Alabama case was then
adopted.
The minority report was signed by
committeeman from Nevada, Georgia,
South Carolina, Indiana, Tennessee,
Missouri, North Carolina, Pennsylvania
New York and Texas.
Mr.. Cumback, Of Indiana, sustained
the minority report, and claimed that
the majority had no facts to sustain their
report. The minority had presented an
overwhelming array of facts to sustain
their report, and the majority did moi
and could not dispute them. Applause
MIR. Tyner, OF Indiana sustained TINT
Spencer delegation.
Mr.. Diezendorf, Of Virginia, sustained
the majority report and recapitulated the
facts of the contest. Mr.. Atkins, OIL
Georgia, followed for the minority report
the reasonings of which, he claimed
we're unauswerable.
Wisconsin moved the previous ques
ton, which was sustained, and the ques
ton stated-6rst on the adoption Of th'
minority report. The roll of States wsI
called and the vote resulted-yeas 354
nays 375, so the minority report was re
jected.
The question then recurring on thu
adoption Of the majority report was car
ried in the affirmative, with only a few
dissents.

CAIRO, June l5.-At IL o'clock last
night the steamer Grand Tower collided
with and sunk the steamer Shippers
Own, in front Of the city. The bow Of
the Grand Tower struck her just aft Of
the derricks, cutting half through and
sinking her to the hurricane roof in FIVE
minutes. One passenger, name un-
known, who boarded the Shippers Own
at Dover, and whose home is in Missouri,
is missing and supposed to be lost. The
crew we're all saved. The Grand Tower
is unipjured. The officers Of the Grand
Tower claim that the Shippers Own bad
ne signal lights out and that the piloI
did not see the latter boat until TOO late
to avoid a collision. The Shippers 0wr
is probably a total loss.

REBUFF.

The Washington correspondent
of the Courier-Journal, Colonel L.
@. Washington, telegraphs an &C
count of a very unpleasant episode
which occurred Sunday, soon after
Mr.. Blaine was taken i'll. An at
tempt has been made to make it APP
pear that Mr.. Bristow had en-
couraged the attacks on Mr.. Blaine.
The fact was perhaps the reverse.
At least the Secretary had no con-
troll over the Investigations, and it
is not likely that he had anything
to do with the matter. Last Sat
urday he called on Mr.. Blaine and
had a friendly conversation with
him in the presence of Governor
Dennison, of Ohio. He denied the
rumors, and satisfied Mr.. Blaine,
apparently. When he called Sun
day he met a different reception.
Colonel Washington says:
was one of two gentlemen who hap
pened to be at General BristoW's house
at the time, and accompanied him to
Mr.. Blaine's. On the way, the Secretary
spoke in very kind and sympathetic
terms of Mr.. Blaine, deprecating the at
tacks made on him, aud especially re-
polling the idea that he could have lent
c%ountenance to any Of them. The visit
was simply an act Of generous sympathy
and respect for a stricken rival, and
there was nothing in it from first to last
that does not reflect credit upon him.
He was not received with courtesy, but
roughly repealed. He left quietly, with
dignity, all Of us regretting the incident,
out not on his account. and all making
the natural allowance for the conduct of
those who were carried away by grief
and excitement to do what 10 their
cooler moments they can but regret.
Yesterdays Courier journal con-
tains an interview with Hon. II. D.
McHenry, ex-OOngressman from
Kentucky, who accompanied Sec
rotary Bristow, Sunday, to the resi-
dence of Mr.. Blaine, where he met
the rebuff which has been generally
reported. McHenry reports that
on arriving at the residence of the
Secretary they found the door wide
open and observed Mr.. Blaine lying
prone upon the floor of the hall
surrounded by his attendants. Not
wishing to disturb any one he softly
entered. As he did SO, Mrs. Blaine,
coming into the hall and recogniz-
ing him, came quickly forward and
in an excited manner waived him
back, remarking: "Don't come in.
