interest Of order and peace. Many delegates
 voted upon the amendment which had just
 been voted upon and notably the delegation | from Connecticut voted no on that question, 1 because they did not believe the committee | on credentials could be forced to make report 1 and it would not expedite business to at- tempt to force them to do so. He be- | lieyed 1t was fair understanding i if not an agreement by the committee on
 rules and orders that the committee should 1 not report until after the committee on ere dentials. We have no candidate in Connecti- cut that we are attempting to put on the con-
 vention, but we are waiting for an hour when l the clock shall strike and the convention
 name the man we believe will be elected if
 wisdom and harmony and courtesy prevail 1 here, and not without 1t. So, sir, move at I this stage of the convention, when it seems
 we cannot expedite further business this eye-
 ming, and as understand the committee on
 credentials cannot get through before to-
 morrow afternoon, move to lay the present | question on the table in order that the con
 vention may adjourn. (Applause.) The Chair put the question by viva voce vote | and it was carried. Conkling's friends
 showed their approval of this. Conkling l himself bowed his acknowledgments to Mr. l Brandagee. MT. Metcalfe, of Illinois, then l moved that the convention adjourn till 10 a. l m. tomorrow; agreed to. The convention | at eos adjourned.
 1 Just before putting the motion for the con 1 vention to adjourn Chairman Hoar an- | nounced that the members of the old Nation | al Committee would meet at once upon ad- l iournment at the Palmer House. The ses- ] sion was devoted to settling the confusion re- | garding the distribution of tickets. It was | reported that the five hundred tickets appor- l toned to the veterans had been improperly distributed. It was ordered that regular del egates' session tickets be issued to the sitting | Illinois delegates possessing prima facie rights | to seats, to be refused if the report of the committee on credentials made 1t necessary l Fearing that the meeting of the convention | would be prolonged until Saturday the eom- mittee passed resolution directing the secretary to publish in the form of resolu- ton the following notice:
 Resolved, That tickets dated June 4th shall be good for Saturday should there be sessions of the convention on that day, and the subcommittee are hereby directed to take steps necessary to carry this into effect" Mir. Henderson said the committee dentials had not yet passed. on the contests in Louisiana West Virginia and Pennsylvania, and would not be ready to report before morning.
 DISPOSITION OF CONTESTED CASES. The committee on credentials remained in session all night last night and adjourned at a. m. It reassembled at 10 a. m. The case of the ten contesting districts of Illinois was reached after midnight last night, and R. G. Ingerson presented the case of the Blaine and Washburne contestants Debate on this case lasted until this afternoon, when vote was reached. The case of the Thirteenth district was omitted, and the Blaine and Washburne contestants enrolled in the other nine disputed districts by a vote of 31 to IA. The contest as to delegates -atlarge and from the Second district was decided to be not well founded, and the sitting delegations were al- lowed to retain their seats by vote of 31 to 14. Mir. Tracy, of New York, then offered resolution that the Republican convention at Springfield was legally constituted and pos sessing any powers of any State convention, and that in the selection of delegates to the National convention acted in good faith and exercised the power which 1t thought it pos sessed. The resolution was tabled.
 The Kansas contested cases were next in order, contestants appearing from the First and Second districts The evidence offered by the contestants showed that the selection of delegates was made by the State conven- ton and claimed that the delegates were not distributed through the different districts in accordance with the call of the National Con- mittee The first district was taken up and the contesting delegation declared entitled to the serts. The Second presented the same state of things and similar action was taken the vote on each being 25 to Il. Four Grant delegates were thus seated without the re- moval of any sitting delegates It was then decided that all the sitting delegates should remain on the floor and the four Grant con- testants should cast four votes and the ten sitting delegates should be entitled to cast the remaining six votes to which the State is entitled
 The Louisiana contest next came up and it was decided to give each side one hour and a quar- ter to present their case. The committee then adjourned till 6 p. m.
 The committee on credentials reassembled at D. m, and took up the Louisiana case Judge Levange opened the case for the regu- low 1aIa Tr-bi ir1 cfa Cha,- man ', Blaine l. Judge Beatty followed for his delegation, which is solid for Grant. An excited personal contest ensued between Judge Beatty and MT. Dumont, chairman of the State executive committee, who de- nounced each other in severe terms. Dumont finally jumped to his feet and announced that although they were north of the Ohio river he would see that Beatty answered promptly for the language used. Governor Yarmouth closed, and the committee by stormy viva voce vote decided to admit a divided War mouth delegation.
 GThe committee at ? a. m. is considering the contest in Pennsylvania.
 THE COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS.
 The committee on resolutions met at the Gardner House at p. m. with but few mem bers present. Edwards Pierrepont the chair man, sent communication stating that the resolutions prepared by the sub committee were in crude shape and could not be completed until this morning. Mrs. Sallie Clay Bennett, daugh- ter of Cassius NJ Clay of Kentucky, ad- dressed the committee on the women's rights question. The committee adjourned to meet in the Exposition committee room at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
 The principal topic of discussion tonight is the vote by States this afternoon and is interpreted by the partisans of Blaine Grant defeat, by the Grant men as a Blaine defeat. MT. Frye says he has figured the first ballot closely and gives Grant 2S5. Bob Ingerson says Grant will have 309.
 It is said that the committee on platform adopted the following anti Chinese plank:
 The right to regulate the intercourse between the people of the United States of America and all for eign nations rests with the general Government and must of necessity be controlled by the of Con- gress and international treaties, and while 1t is the spest tbe wishes of it's citizens and to essIate in their interest," in view of the large and ipcreasng Chinese emigration invading the Pacific coast our classes fearing its undue increase and serious results likely to arise therefrom and because Chinese will not become citizens and cannot per any of the political and public duties incident citizenship because they cannot assimilate them selves and become homogeneous with people, and will not accommodate themselves to our manners customs and habits pertaining to our civilization and because unlimited Chinese emigration is regarded prejudicial to best national interests; there fore,
 Resolved, That in the judgment of this convention
 the m Int tF9ay aoS s. eesng g ts the mem of China should be amended or modified that further Chinese emigration except for purposes or commerce. travel and education, should be restricted that the existing commission to the Chinese Govern ment should be urged to speedy and decisive action to regulate and restrict the inflow of Asate people to country, and the Congress of the United States ought without delay, and matter of national inn portance and urgent necessity to cause to be passed the laws necessary to limit and restrict Chinese emil grafton to country.
 Resolved That the Republican party is opposed to the emigration to this country of all persons incapa ble of becoming citizens under existing laws, and the Republican party, in the interest of labor and good government. pledges itself to enforce this resolve by appropriate legislation
