THE ILLINOIS CASE.
HARD BONE TO PICK.

CHICAGO, June 2.-The committee on creden-
tials has made little progress, but Is still on
the Illinois case. The committee ON resolu.
tions has thirty five to forty resolutions in its
hands, which have been referred for report to-
morrow morning to a subcommittee consist
ing of Edward Pierrepont, New York, Emery
Storrs Chicago, d. o. Payne, California, VIM.
W. Phelps, New Jersey, w. Clark, Mass. 1t is
admitted that there will be minority report
OF committee on credentials and that the
question of the admission of contesting del
egations will come early before the cUnven-
tion tomorrow. At Gen. Sherman's headquar-
ters tonight the following eetimates are made
of the first ballot after the unit rule is abro-
gated, Grant, 297; Blaine, 276; Sherman, 1873.
The name of Garfield has been quite fre quent-
ly mentioned tonight as possible compro-

CoNKLING AND BOUTWELL,.
In the Grant caucus tonight a short hand
reporter was present during the speeches which
Boutwell, and Corkling made. The former de-
clared they had 325 to $50 votes on the first
bsliot, and that the nomination of Grant was
secure. Conkling said there was no use of
concealing or perverting facts. 1t was time
now to look this matter s9uarely in the face.
Not more than 800 votes were
assured for Grant on the first bal
lot They could not count on more
unless they secured them hereafter. He ad-
.vised, however, that they hold together, through
the first, second, tothe last ballot if necessary
but not to yield. They would eventually wor.
ry out their opponents and win. They would
neither offer nor accept compromise. The
breaks would come from Other
candidates, and then they would
gain convert. A committe of one from eacl
State represented at the caucus was appointed

THE MIGHT SITUATION.
ANrr-aRANr DELEGATE SEATED.

ANTI-GRANT. DELEGATE SEATED.
CHICAGO, June 1.-At IL o'clock tonight the
| situation is as follows: The committee on
credentials is still in session, and promises to
hold an all night session. They have thus far
decided only one case which was that of Ra-
pier (anti- -Grant), from the Fourth Alabama
district. 1t was decided by vote of 81 to IL
to report in favor of admitting Rapier. This
was the only test vote in the committee
except that upon which Cpnger was made chair
man, being 20 to IL. The committee briefly
considered the cases of Smith and Warner, the
Alabama contestants, but they were passed for
the time and the Illinois case was taken up,
Klrkhaw's presenting it. This case will prob
ably occupy the greater part of the session.
The committee on permanent organization,
bya practically solid vote, decided to continue
the temporary organization as permanent.
There was general agreement that Judge Hoar
would be most satisfactory in that position to
all parties.
GRANT CAUCUS.
There was long meeting tonight of the
Grant delegates, and some others not delegates,
all about 357. No definite in
formation is received from it, but the
general impression is that they
decided to stand by. Grant, and that the
speeches were in favor of a strong support of
that candidate. The Grant men, tonight,
claim over 300 on the first ballot, while their
antagonists believe that he will fall below 290
This estimate is based on the belief that most
of the anti-Grant contestants will
be admitted, and it is regarded as certain that
the committee on credentials will report in
favor of the admission of the Illinois delega-
tion. From conversations with membsrs of
the committee, it is quite evident thas it is
their purpose to take such action. The Blaine
men also claim over 800 on the first ballot
EDMUNDs GROWING IN FAVOR.
Edmunds appears to be growing
slowly, and his friends now claim fifty
votes on the first ballot for him. 1t lis reported
on good authority that Chairman Cessna, of
the Pennsylvania delegation, visited the lndi-
ana headquarters on bis own responsibility, but
claiming to represent his delegation offered to
turn the vote of Pennsylvania over in support
of ticket composed of Edmunds and Harri.
son. The Indiana delegation did not discuss
the matter seriously, as Harrison is said to OBJ
ject to the plan.
SHERMAN.
Sherman's friends present an unbroken
front. and claim their candidate will receive
100 votes on the first ballot and that when
the break comes he will be the general favorite
The Kentucky delegation held
caucus to-day, and reaffirmed the
resolution of the State conventions
which instructs them to vote as unit. E. @.
Hubbard, Of the delegation, states, notwith-
standing this action, that four of the delegates
will disregard their instructions.

CHICAGO, June 2.-Cables steady. Our mar
ket opened lower, at $50 for June and 96c for
July, selling off under heavy sales at 97119 June
and 9511Sc July. At this point the demand was
active and trading lively, advancing sharply to
$1.0l June and CSC July. The feature of to-
days dealing has been the enormous amount
of property that has changed hands, the
clique interest not thought of and the bears
and bulls buying lively. The report is tonight
that the reason why no wheat has been de
livered is that they are selling wheat abroad
that netts them Sl.14 here If this is the truth
and they hold up their hand and swear it, it is
then there certainly, and IS value to the
futures; time will tell. Closing $l.08 June and
SIC July. Corn unchanged and prices steady.
Provisions nominal and changes unimportant,
heap of work going on in this product, and
the chances are that we will zee lower range
before higher. Lard steady and meats stronger,
than bull tied up with a log chain.

TAME AND WITHOUT SIGNIFICANCE.
CHICAGO, June &-The first day of the
convention was inexpressibly tame, as was
inevitable after tho agreement of the ma
tional committee, as l told you yesterday.
The temporary Craftsmanship was an empty
honor, of no significance. Hoar simply ham
mered on the table with his gavel and put
motions. Each State delegation reported its
members of the various committees, and the
temporary chairman has had nothing more
to do with shaping the committees than if
he had been an automaton. Illinois scored
a point in favor of Grant by putting Baum
on the committee on credentials, still I
place very little stress on that committee,
for two reports are inevitable, both upon
Illinois and louisiana. The matter has got
to be fought out in the convention, and the
respective reports will be more matter of
form than anything else.
SIGNIFICANT INCIDENTS.
Quite little significant incident was the
applause which greeted the names of Gar
field and Conkling, as they were announced
as members of committees. Garfeld's name
was spplaudsd first, and the applause for
Gonkling seemed to bs kind of an Offset.
When an Iowa delegate arose and pre5en ted
the papers of the contesting Illinois dele
gates the applause was loud, but noticed il
came from tho galleries instead of the dele
gates. When Logan offered his resolution
granting 500 tickets to the veteran soldiers
he was also loudly applauded, but this time
it came from the delegates a good deal more
than the galleries. He expressed his CON
tempt for the national committee and jim
Root very plainly when he said he had t.
come in the hall on provisional ticket.
Mr.. Oonkling made quite little oratori
cal display over calling the name of Utah il
the roll of territories. He intimated that
was bad faith to bring Utah in when it hat
been excluded as Louisiana had on aceoun
of contest. Mr.. Frye took the wind out o
Conkling's sails by telling hi m the omission
of Utah was a mistake of the secretary i
making up the roll. He accepted the situa
ton gracefully but imperiously.
TICKET ARRANGEMENTS.
There is great dissatisfaction, and justl

Hundreds of seats were vacant all th
session to-day, and thousands of peopl
stood outside the building unable to get in {

WASHINGTON, June 2-Senator -Pendleton
submitted resolution instructing the COM
mittee on judiciary to inquire whether sections
4,OS3 to 4, l26 inclusive, revised statutes are
authorized by the constitution. He explained
these sections related tc the Judicial powers Of
councillors and ministers in Eastern countries.
The minister of the United States at Cairo,
Egypt, was exercising extensive and extraor-
binary, IL not entirely unwarranted, powers.
These sections gave absolutely despotic and IL
reVocable authority to consuls over any citizen

Jurles, to convict and punish by imprisonment
or death, when judges at home cannot do So
The resolution was adopted.
Consideration was resumed of the river and
harbsr BILL Senator Browns amendment in
creasing the appropriation for the Savannah
harbor from $65, 900 to 300, 900, was rejected
by 2S to 10. Opposition to amendment was
solely on the ground that to agree to it would
open the doors to loading the bill down with
an increase of appropriations.
Senator Morgan offered the following
amendment: Provided that the entire sam
available under the first section of the act
shall not exceed $5,0l5,00O, which sum shall
be app portioned by the secretary of war to the
section, and in the proportion that the amount
therein specified for each work of improve
ment shall bear to the sum of S5, ,0l5,000."
