| New York Republican Convention.
UTICA, N. Y. April 23.-Arrangements
have been completed for the Republican
State Convention which meets here at
noon to-day. There is an intense feeling
of uncertainty as to the outcome OF the
struggle for supremacy in the convention,
but it is generally conceded that the Ed
munds delegates, if they work in unison,
can throw the organization Of the conven-
ton into the hands of either the Arthur
or the Blaine men. The Edmunds men
held several conferences last night, and
oyertures were made to them by the
leaders of the Blaine and Arthur forces,
but they refused to treat, or to name any
terms other than that Of naming four
delegates at large and the temporary
Chairman. The Arthur leaders accepted
the proposition Of the Edmunds men this
morning. and the latter named Andrew ID.
White, Edwin Packard, Theodore Roose-
welt and Senator John j. Gilbert, as dele
gates. and George Ewing as temporary
Chairman. The Edmunds men claim
from 60 to 80 delegates, while the adher-
ents of Arthur claim q few over 200. 1t
required 249 votes to control the conven-
ton and should the combination bolt
there is likely to be q short session.
Delegates from the Twenty-third Con-
gressional District this forenoon elected as
delegates to the National Convention, Lee
r. Sanborn and George ii. Urban, Jr.,
one for Arthur and the other for Ed

publican State Convention met here to-
day with a large attendance present.
Hon. Samuel Fessenden was chosen both

House beings.
WASHINGTON, April 23.-In the House
Randall, of the Committee on Appropria
tions, reported back the Naval Appropria
ton bill with Senate amendments, ant
moved the non concurrence in thes'
amendments. Kasson thereupon raised
the point of order that it must first b,
considered in the Committee of the Whole
The bill was an important one, affecting
as ii did, the construction of the new nava
cruisers, and he did not think the Hous,
should, pro forma, express its no~n-concur
renee in the amendments. They should
be referred to the Committee Of the Whole
Randall said he could not move to go int(
the committee, as he had agreed not to in
terfere with the Tariff bill at this time
The action Of the Appropriation Commit
tee, in recommending non-concurrence il
the amendments, was to expedite the APP
preparation bills and secure an early
adjournment.
Townsend, from the same committee
reported back the Postofice Appropriation
bill with the Senate amendments, and
moved a non-concurrence in these amend
ments. On the point Of order Of Kasson
this bill and amendments we're also re
ferred to the Committee OF the Whole.
