The famous banking house in which Stewart
Brown was a partner. lad very interest

a linen merchant, came to this country
and with bis family settled in Baltimore
where he established linen house. lbs
sons went 10 England for their cduca-
tiop. As they became Of age they were
taken into their fathers business. The

who diod in November. 1877 was sent TO
New-York to establish the present house in
tbis city. although at first the linen business
was conducted in this city. The intention from the
start WAS to change ~ 10 the ufesent system OF

Mr.. Conkling said the convention had adj
journed until O'Clock for the purpose of Civ
ing the committee on credentials time to re-
port. The meaning of the recess was that
when the convention came together again the
committee on credentials would make its
port. He submitted that the good faith and
the good understanding of all concerned
would be promoted and observed by proceed
ngs to consider the report of the committee
on contested seats
Mr.. Henderson piled that good reason
why the amendment should not prevail was
that while the committee on rules was ready
to report the committee on credentials had not
completed their work and would probably not
do so till tomorrow morning.
The ayes and noes were taken on Mr..
Sharpe 'samendment to instruct the committee
on contested seats to report, and resulted in its
rejection, yeas SIG, nays 4O6. The announc-
ment was received with tumultuous applause
and cheers.
The question recurring on the original mo-
ton, Mr.. Brandigee, of Connecticut said he
rose in the interest of order, harmony and
peace. He had voted against the amendment
Just rejected because he thought there was a
fair understanding in the committee on rules
that their report was not to be made until af-
ter that OF the committee on credentials. He
moved to lay on the table the pending motion
lnStructlng the latter committee to report.
The motion was agreed to. and the conven-
ton on motion of Mr.. Metcalf of Illinois, adj
journed at 6.45 until tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock.

THE CREDENTIALS.
Several Contests Not Yet Settled.

After the conclusion of the hearin of the
Illinois contest in the committee on Credentials
at $ o'clock this morning. a vote on the contest
in the Seventh district of Alabama was taken,
resulting in resolving to report in favor of the
admission of Gov. Smith and Willard Warner,
the contestants, by a vote OF 81 to u. Gen.
Raum member of the committee. who also
acted as chairman of the Springfield conyen-
ton, then addressed the committee at length
on the Illinois contest The committee finally
adjourned at until II to-day without reaching
a vote in the Illinois case.
The committee voted to-day to admit 10 con-
tested delegates from LIST, Sd Jth 4th, 9th, 10th
and nth Congressional districts of Illinois and
passed the contests in the I'd and 18th districts
to allow Gen. Raum to produce further
facts concerning them. The committee next
considered contests in the I'd and Sd Kansas
districts and voted q to 10 to admit the Grant
delegates from both districts Recess was taken
until o'clock.
In the committee on credentials tonight
after disposing of the Louisiana case contests
from Pennsylvania we're considered, the first
being the contest in the ninth district. Parties
were heard but the decision is still in obeyance.
In the 10Th and 23d districts the contests
were withdrawn In the LIST district, which
was an attempt of the contestants to unseat an
alternate for W. S. Douglass, the committee
decided against the contestant. The case Of
the contest in West Virginia was then opened
and at 1870 it had not been disposed of. The
Utah case will follow and will conclude the
hearing of cases. after which the passed con-
tests will be voted on.

THE UTAH CASE.
A Tilt between Conkling and Frye.

A Tilt between Conkling and Frye.
When the roll call was finished yesterday,
little breeze of excitement blew over the con-
vention. 1t seems that Secretary Keogh had
inadvertently omitted the name of Utah. The
contesting delegations from this Territory
were, it will be remembered, granted seats
subject to the decision of the convention on
their right to retain them. Mr.. Frye, who as
a member of the NATIONAL Committee occupied
a seat on the platform, moved that the name
be placed on the roll. As soon as he had made
the motion, Mr.. Keogh whispered to him that
the omission was an error, but before Mr..
Frye could make this statement, Senator Hoar
announced that unless there was objection the
name would be inserted. Some of the dele
gates, especially the Blaine men, evidently
thought the omission was made for a purpose,
but no one expected to see Senator Conkling
fire up as quickly as he did Advancing into
this aisle, in his most dramatic manner. 4" the
gentleman from New York." his voice pierre
ing every corner of the great building, ex-
claimed, ''There is an objection, Mr.. Chair
man."
Loud applause from the Senator's adherents
greeted this evidence of his vigilance and ag-
gressiveness, after which he proceeded to make
the point that the roll was the one agreed
upon by the National Committee, and that it
was not in order to amend it at this stage of
the proceedings. When the time came to dis
cuss the merits of the question, he should
desire to be heard.
The Chair said that he was Of opinion that
the roll adopted by the committee was proper
roll, but he could not hold that it was not out
of order to move that Utah be called.
Mr.. Conkling very coldly, with Characters
tic politeness, remarked that he entertained
great respect for the wisdom of the Chair, but
he wished TO know if it would be in order to
move to add the State of Louisiana. The
Chair replying in the affirmative, Mr.. Conk-
ling instantly replied: Il do not intend to
make that motion, nor do intend to appeal
from the decision of the Chair, but under
stood that the convention was to abide by that
rule
Mr.. Frye declared it was agreed by the COM
mittee that Utah be put on the roll Great
applause greeted this declaration, and Mr..
Frye proceeded to explain that Mr.. Keogh bad
informed him that it was by an error that the
name was omitted. Mutual apologies were
made by the defiant gentlemen from Maine
and from New York, each one of whom evil
IDENTIFY, to use an Irish expression, carried a
chip on his shoulder" and was anxious for
the other to knock it off The ease with which
Mr.. Frye could be heard throughout the hall
was subject of general remark, and will
make him an available champion for Mr.
Blaine
