WITH A THuNDERING ROAR
By the galleries. Both speakers had re-
peatedly been interrupted by applause, but
on every occasion the uproar was largely
on the side of the anti-Grantites. They
made very much the most noise, if that ID
any sign of success. The Blaine men took
great comfort in this, but it must be recoI-
lected that they Were SO fas acting with the
whole faction. There was further debat
and, Conkling still insisted on his motion, (
1t was finally put to vote and lost. This
was the last vote of significant character.
The matter involved was not important, but
the motion was urged and opposed by two
recognized leaders. I rather think Conk-
ling surely urged it, because, while tue
matter was trivial, the vote enabled him to
guage the feeling of the convention and
established him as the central figure of the
fight
Frye of Maine next called up the report
OF the committee on rules and order Of
business. Gen. Sharpe of New York said
he had been directed to prepare a minority
report representing nine states, and that the
committee had agreed that the majority re-
port should not be submitted until the com
mittee on contested seats had reported.
Frye said the chairman was present and
he would like to hear his version of the
agreement, This called up Garfield, who
was received with a storm of cheers. He
corrohorated the statement of Gen. Sharpe.
but said of course the committee could be
Instructed to report by the convention. 1t
was evident TO force the report would be to
do rather mean thing. There was 4 little
hesitation but finally Frye withdrew
the motion, and as there was evil
IDENTIFY no further business to be proceeded
with Frye moved recess until five o'clock
This gave Conkling chance for a glitter
ing point and he made use OF it. 1t was
scarce an hour before that Hale of Maine
had opposeda similar motion when offered
by him. He referred to the fact and ironi-
cally congratulated the gentleman from
Maine IN discovering the necessity of the
action which awhile ago he thought so
frivolous. Hale
HAD NOTHING TO SAY,
And Frye did the best he could BY remark
ing to the effect that he hoped the gentle
man from New York would be able to con.
graduate the men from Maine with equal
sincerity at the close Of the convention.
The motion, Of course, prevailed, and the
convention took recess until o'clock.
THREATENED OUTBREAK BY THE NAyAJoEs
AND UTEs.
DENVER, Col, June 9.--The Tribuneys
Santa Fe special says: A special from Las
Vegas states that NJ. A. Otera, president of
the New Mexico and Southern railroad, has
received what is considered reliable infor-
nation, that the Navajoes and Utes had
grand pow-wow near Terra Armillo, NM,
and it is understood the result
OF the council was to make
war in common against the whites. If
true, this is very important information
and should be sent at once to Nernavimer
reservation and the Ute country, and al
though Col. Bucl! with four companies Of
the Fifteenth cavalry and some other
troops are marching to Fort Wingate,
which is almost in the center of the Navajo
reservation, still his force is entirely to
small to prevent the outbreak The Nava-
oes are rich in cattle, horses and sheep,
md could place at least six hundred men
Il the field.
