Mr. p. Sells, Jr., one of the proprietors of
+" Sells Brothers. Millionaire Confederation
of Stupendous Railroad Shows" was in the
city last evening at the Merchants.
Mr.. Geo. B. Mcdonald, contracting agent
for the Sells Brothers circus, was in the city
yesterday making arrangements for the early
appearance of that company here. The
character of the show has preceded even tho
advance agent, and it will probably draw
stronger than mustard plaster.
Mr.. Frank ]. Pilling, advertising agent of
the Coup circus, is in the city, and was one
of the chief admirers of the illuminated
fence surrounding the court house square.
He promises that the show will throw the
pictures into the shade, and as he carries a
little hatchet about with him. his word is not
to be gainsaid.
Mr.. George 8. Sydney, business agent OF
Tony Denier's "Humpty Dumpty" troupe,
which we had supposed had strsyed SO far
from st. Paul that it could not reach here
this season, dropped into the GLOBE Office
last evening to convey the pleasing intelli-
gence thBt the genial Tony and his entire
regiment would take possession of the Opera
House on the 28th and 29th of the present
month, with the fell purpose of bursting cor
set strings and vest buttons. The company
will give a matinee on the 29th.

woRKINGMEN's GREENBAoK-LABoR PARTY,
SAN FRANCISCO, May 1S.-In the Working
mems convention last evening, the real fight
came up on the adoption of the majority and
minority reports of the committee on per
manent organization ana order of business,
the former providing for the election of
State central committee instead of intrust-
ing the management of affairs to Kearney
president, as heretofore, and the election of
delegates to the national Greenback- Labor
convention. The minority report provided
for continuance of the old organization of
the party, and ignored the question of elect
ing delegates to the national convention.
After hot debate the minority report was
adopted, 81 to "a, and the convention ad
journed till this morning.
The platform is anti Chinese, anti-subsidys
anti National banks, anti-monopoly, and
favoring Greenbacks, government control of
corporations, female enfranchisement, COM
pulsory education, creating by tax fund to
be used in assisting the heads of families
in settling on public lands, and the
election of Presidents and Vice-President te
of the United States and postmasters by a
direct vote of the people.
Additional resolutions spmpathise with
Kslloch and Kesrney and emphasizs many
clauses of the platform. A resolution de
claring Allen G. Thurman the choice of the
workingmen's party for president of the
United States was adopted after hot debats
by vote of 81 to 60. Opposition to tn,
resolution was on the ground that it is impo
lite to express any preference at present, no
because of objections to Thurman as can

Whitaker Again Describes the Attack
Testimony Closed.
WEST POINT, May 18.-At the opening of
court this morning, the testimony of Cadet
Whitaker was read in his presence, and he
made one or two verbal corrections. After
the reading of Whittaker's examination and
in reply to questions he testified. When I
was attacked, the men put their hands on my
neck and shoulder. When they cut my ear
they did not hold my head and I could
move it back and forward, and I cannot tell
how they succeeded in inficting the cuts.
He could not tell how long the men were in
his room. They could have got out several
ways, on the roof by the skylight, down stairs,
or into an adjoining room. Further testify
ing as to the attack on him, Whitaker said
the man jumped on him with his whole weight
and his face was close to him. Witness did
try to tear his mask off but could not reach
him; he drew his head away.
Question: there two hands on your
shoulders when your ears were being cut?
Answer can't tell whether there was
one hand, three hands, two hands or more
than two.

he had any reasonable suspicion in regard to
anyone vino might be concerned in this
affair, that would warrant him in giving in
formation to Whittaker's counsel or
the recorder. He replied that he
had. He was asked would he give it to the
recorder or counsel. He preferred the lat
ter. He was then asked by the president
did he think it advisable to call Lieutenant
Bixby and Taber. He said it would be we'll
to call the latter, only he said counsel for
Whitaker had not consulted him, and if he
had witness would have given freely what
he knew. The court then instructed Prof.
Greener to draw up a statement of the
whole matter and present it to
Lieut.. Knight with bis signature.
After placing on the record kilograms and
correspondence with the secretary of wal
in reference to the affair, the recorder an
nounced the testimony closed on his side
and Whittaker's council having nothing
new to offer, the case was adjourned to give
the recorder time to arrange his statement
of the case.

4 Celebrated Case.

The second rendering of "a Celebrated
Case'' by the Collier company last evening,
was even better artistic success than the
first. ALI of the artists were in excellent
form. and played their several roles in man
ner TO call forth the most hearty plaudits of
the audience. Mr.. E. K. Collier made the
most of the character of Jean Remand, and
was well supported by the rest of the COM
pany. Miss White as Valentine, and Miss
Wyatt as Adrienna, were almost equally ex-
cellent, though the latter has the most diff
fcult role. Mr.. Scallon's O'Rouske, was
very superior production.
The company will leave here to-day for
Minneapolis, where two evenings will be
spent, after which it will return to st. Paul,
giving performances on Friday and Satur-
day evenings and at a matinee on Saturday.

rSnecial TELEGRAM to the Globe.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, May l8.-Cables conflicting. Beer
bohm gives 6pence lower on red wheat. Cargoes
and private adyices say penny upall around on
spot and pence to 8 pence upon cargoes. Our
market opened lower by half cent than last
evening; $1.l0H June. The cute ones know
ing of better advices from abroad, bought
quietly all they could of both options, advanc-
ing prices without excitement to Sl.1l%@
Liz June, $l.06%@1O6T July. The boom
was started and would have gathered strength
but for the rumors that the clique were willing
to accommodate the May shorts in direct set
tlement at $1.l619, where they had refused,
day ago. to accept $l.l9 or name price where
the boys hoped to see daylight. That was &C
cepted as weak feature and the active scalp
ers did their best to demoralize the market,
but with only partial success. The talk has
been, for some days past, that the unholy We're
selling. Now the question is asked, who has
bought all the offerings of June and July?
There has been millions changed hands. Who
has got it? The closing is, June, $l.10X;
sl.O6 July; sl.16 bid for May.
Notwithstanding the large receipt
and the serious accident to the king in this
cereal, the prices are unchanged and the prop
erty is easily taken care of and shipments are
liberal The fuctuation was very light and
the closing is steady, seemingly not affected by
the decline in wheat. May, 375Sc; June.
361sc; July, $3.50, and. with slight decline
in freights, would seek higher range. Stocks
light east of us and what there is in sight
owned by the syndicate.
Proyisions-Receipts of hogs, $1,000; again
to-day selling rapidly at 50 cents decline from
yesterday, and reports that the yards are clear.
Opened higher and active, selling freely at
$40. 571I0 1850 for July, but from this ad-
vance the decline has been slow and without
animation to the close. What causes this de-
preston have been unable to discover and
our best posted brokers stand aghast and swear
they are afloat. June, $lO.1219; July, $lO.22119

first and last to go for Window delegation
to Chicago. (Applause).
Mr.. Williams, of Mankato, thought the
programme good idea, and report could be
made in secret causus.
THE WINDOW BOOM.
Ex-Gov. Yale got on his feet, and made a
Window speech, which was enthusiastically
received. The sum of it was that Gov. Yale
believed in the present contest that "Bill
Window was bigger man than old Grant" :"
(Faint applause.) He wanted delegation
sent to Chicago, every man of whom was for
Window, first, last and all the time.
Gen. Baker having some doubts about the
fealty of the crowd offered resolution set
ting forth that the sense of this meeting was
for Window as against all others. A rising
vote was demanded and taken.
SHOW YOUR HAND.
Mr.. Thomas Cochran, not delegate, but
citizen of Ramsey county, got up and re-
marked that he thought it indelicate for any
one to remain in the meeting who wasn't
Window man after the adoption of the
resolution. He saw in the assembly gen.
tleman who had been conspicuous in the
primary fight on Saturday last in st. Paul,
and he was an avowed Blaine man, and was
a delegate to the State convention.
Aud Just here Mr.. Cochran was interrupt
ed by DR.. Davenport, who declared himself
young Republican, and admitted
that Mr.. Cochran's shot had
came home. However, to put himself right
on the record, he would say while he had
taken part in the fight for gentleman we'll
known in this city, he favored Mr.. Window.
Mr.. Cochran-are you a Blaine Window
man or a Windom-Blaine man?
DIR. Davenport-I am q Window Blaine
man; applause at the Doctors CONVEX
sion)
THE PROGRAMME COMMITTEE.
The chairman then announced the pro-
gramme committee as follows:
D. Sinclair, Winona; j. P Rsa, Hennepin
county; j. IL. Baker, Mankato; J. A.
Thatcher, Goodhue county; Michael Ander-
son, Otter Tail county; and Gov. Yale, of
Winona, was, on motion, added to the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Sewers made speech for Window,
and gave as his trinity, the sentiment of
unity, principle and success, with Window
as kind of godfather for the triplets.
THE GOD AND MORALITY PARTY.
Mr.. Thomas Cochran followed in a few
remarks, taking principle as a text,] and
made a very clever Sunday school address.
To be relieved in its somberness by vio-
lent wind storm for Window by S. p.
Childs, Superintendent of the United States
mail service.
Gov. Austin then placidly reviewed Win
dom's claimsand chances for the Presidency,
with the assertion in conclusion that ten
delegates from Minnesota ought to go
pledged for Window. (Applause).
CHARLIE JoHNsoN's s ROOM.
After few more remarks, all for Window,
Charlie Johnson's desire was pat into
force, and the reporters were requested to
leave, and with them Gen. McLaren, w. w.
Billson, Capt. Russell Blakeley, j. w. Doug
lass, and whole host of federal officers and
contractors left also.
1t was lonesome to see Capt. Russell
Blakely wandering about the corridors of
the hotel, without the fold, SO to speak.
However, it wasn't of long duration, for
somehow this old Republican ram rammed
himself into the caucus, as a spectator,
and was listener if not participant.
