tee of arrangements for the National
Democratic committee to-day issued the
following
Democratic National Coomittee, Room
81, Palmer House, Chicago, Ills, June
10, 1ss4.-The applications made to mem
bers of the national committee for tickets
of admission to the Democratic National

of the method by which they are dis

by the committee according to the rules
which have been followed at previous
conventions. They cannot be given as a
favor to any person, The hall will have
10, 500 seats, and of these 1000 will be
occupied by delegates, alternates. officers
and committees. About 800 seats will
be allotted to the press. Subscribers t.
the fund to pay expenses will receive $50
tickets and $50 more will be used for dis
tribution among the local committees of
city and county officers. 1t is supposed
l 200 tickets will be given to Senators and
Representatives of Congress, veterans and
other eminent men of the country who
will attend the convention. $50 tickets
will be reserved by the National Commit
tee for contingencies. The remainder of
tickets will be given to delegates, max
ing six tickets to each for distribution to

Probable Double Murder.

ST. PAUL, MINI, June I9.-This even
ing occurred what will probably be a
double murder and suicide. j. Cechura,
the owner of a small house, had rented
rooms to Mrs. Katharine Messerschmidt,
aged 10, and her daughter Margaret, aged
27. The women paid rent to Cechura's
wife, which angered him and tonight he
entered the rooms of the mother and
daughter armed with a large butcher
knife. After a short talk he attacked the
women, stabbing the old woman in the
back and breast, resulting in instant
death. He then attacked the daughter
and stabbed her in the left lung and in
ficted a dozen other slight wounds from
the effects of which she will probably die.
Cechura then went to his W room,
locked himself in, took poison and cut the
arteries of both arms.

Crooked Clerks.

WASHINGTON, June l9.-Secretary
Chandler said to-day, the investigation of
the accounts of the Naval Bureau of Med
icine and Surgery since 1881 is still in
progress, and a large number of suspic-
ious vouchers have been found which, in
case they prove fraudulent, will further
involve the two officials against whom the
proceedings have been begun, and also a
number of outside persons not previously
suspected. Chandler also said a number
of arrests were probable, as the two clerks,
against whom the proceedings had been
instituted, appear to have carried on a
systematized fraud for the last three yel rs
with the assistance of various persons out
side of the department.

That woman was worth a whole brigade Of
soldiers and several batteries of artillery

four times a week with vegetables for the
Confederate officers and townspeople. l had
him brought to my headquarters one night

He said he did, ana then 1 asked him if he
could get a note to her without giving her

her a letter on tissue paper, appealing to her
loyalty and requesting her to give me some
information Of what was going on in the

Result of the Various State
Conventions Yesterday,
Tennessee and the Taritt.

NASHVILLE, June l9.-In the Demo
cratic Convention the entire forenoon was
consumed in the consideration of the
pl ,tform. The minority report, which
embraces the features of the Ohio plat
form, was tabled. A motion to table the
majority report and relegate the whole
tariff question to the national Convention
was voted down.
The call for the previous question on
the adoption of the majority report on the
platform failed for lack of two-thirds ma
jority. The majority of the delegates to
Chicago favor Cleveland.
The platform declares the settlement of
the State debt by the last Legislature is
final, and pledges its faithful mainte-
nance; it favors the just taxation of rail-
road property and the regulation of rail
roads by the State commission; it believes
in encouraging popular education; de-
nounces the present tariff as a master
piece of injustice, inequality and false pre-
tense; it favors u reduction of the tariff,
and demands that no more revenue be
raised than is required to defray the legit-
innate expenses of the government econom-
ically administered; it declares hat V
u raised for any other purpose, whether
by custom house taxation or otherwise, is
unauthorized by the constitutions it
pledges the Democracy of Tennessee to
cheerfully support the platform adopted
by the coming National Democratic Con-
v%ention, not only on the tariff question,
but on all other measures of reform. Gov
ernor Bate was renominated by acclama-
ton. Adjourned sine die.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, June l9.-Thc Porte
is not reconcilcd to the outlook Of affairs
in Egypt. He has addressed a circular
to the powers, insisting that England has
sell: imposed the task of restoring order
in Egypt and says that the army of occupa-
ton ought to be withdrawn. Moral au-
thority and the prestige Of the Sultan are
amply sufficient, it says, to insure internal
tranquility. If, however, the powers are
of the opinion that an mill
tary force is necessary, such force might
be supplied by the Sultan alone or in con
junction with England, France, Italy and
Spain.

Contract Labor Bill Passed.

WASHINGTON, June l9.-Mr. Hopkins

tation and migration of foreigners and
aliens under the contract to perform labor.

ment, which was adopted, providing that
nothing in this act shall be construed as

Matters in the Senate.

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator But
Ter called up his resolution providing for
an inquiry into the condition of the New
York national banks. After debate the
matter went over, A bill to prevent the
importation of tea dust into the United
States was passed. The Mexican pension
bill was then taken up. Senator Ingalls,
submitted a modification to his arrears
pension provision, the modification pro-
viding so far as arrears are concerned
there shall be no discrimination between
the rate allowed to a private soldier and
an officer. After some preliminary dis
cussion as to the probable addition to the
annual cost of the pension list by the
adoption of the amendments proposed to
the bill, Senator Beck said the Commits
sioner of Pensions had estimated the
amount at about S246, 600, 900. 1t seemed
to be lacking on about $24l 600, 900 to
a bill that originally called for 5000, 900.
He presumed the intention in making this
addition was to kill the bill. After a
lengthy debate the Senate went into ex-
ecutive session and soon adjourned.
