New York Tribune.
In view of the interest attaching to the pro
ceedings of the Republican national convention,
it may be well, perhaps, to note accurately the
precise points of order and procedure ruled in
the last convention and accepted by the body as
its rule of action.
On the first yea and nay vote which was
taken the chair held, in the cases Of Alabama
and Kentucky, that each delegate had the right
to cast his vote according to his judgment, and
had the right to demand a correction if reported
by the chairman OF the delegation otherwise than
as he directed On the third yea and nay vote
which was taken, it was held that sitting mem
bers whose seats are in contest are not at liberty
to vote upon the question of their title to seats.
This rule was applied, without dissent, in the
cases occurring in the Alabama Illinois, West
Virginia and Utah delegations
During the ballots for nomination it was held
First-That each State must respond when called,
Or lose its right to be counted on that ballot.
Second-That absent delegate has no right to au-
thorze anyone to vote for him. and that each delegate
or each alternate must cast his vote.
Third-That when delegate fails to respond, the
name of the alternate borne upon the roll opposite
that delegate shall then be called If that alternate
does not respond the of the other aternates Sc
1ected for the representation by the same au.
thorty will be called in their ORDER for instance if
deeeate-atlarge fails to respond and the alternate
whose name is on the roll opposite that delegateat-
large also fails respond the chair viii direct the
other three misunderstanding to be called In their or
der and there stop IT, on the other hand the failure
to respond be that of district delegate the chair VIII
direct the of the other alternate from that dis
tret (the first one failing to respond to be called and
there stop.
Fourth-A delegate absent when the vote of his
State is announced and recorded cannot on that vote
he counted.
All these rulings which were carefully and
distinctly stated by the president, Senator Hoar,
were acquiesced in without dissent. and were ac-
eapted as the law governing the proceedings of
the convention, and were rigidly and impartially
applied.

Presidential speculation.
Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.


There is a rumor that Edmunds is about to
advise his friends not to present his name to the
convention. There is but little chance of his
nomination. and the truth is, he is not over anx-
ious to be President. If he should withdraw
from the race the majority of the Massachusetts
delegation would support Sherman if they had
assurances from the Ohio delegation that they
meant to stick to an Ohio candidate. Connect
cut, after it leaves Hawley, would in part sup
port Sherman. He is in good medium posi-
ton, and may win the race. 1t is only at inter
walls that Lincoln's name is now mentioned for
first place.
The interests of President Arthur at Chicago
will be in the hands of VIM. E. Chandler, Seere-
tary of the Navy In 1876 and 1880, Chandler
was the central figure in behalf of Blaine. He
broke with Blaine before Arthur made him Sec
rotary of the Navy, because he failed to be CON
frmed by the Senate Solicitor general to which
Garfield appointed him, Chandler thought
Blaine could have had him confirmed had he
exerted himself little.
The Blaine canvass will be in the hands Of
Senator Warner Miller, of New York, and Steve
Elkins and William Walter Phelps. The latter
is spending money freely in Blaine's behalf He
has organized body of Southern men to go to
Chicago, expenses paid. to influence Southern
delegates in Blaine's behalf

The Current Toward John Sherman.

Yew York Special to Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
''The undercurrent here said prominent Re
publican, has been running strong for a com
promise candidate between Blaine and Arthur
Such men as Theodore Roosevelt and other indie
pendent Republicans recognize the difficulties in

be nominated and just who to select as leader

him"
who then, do they look to-" was asked
well the drift Just now seems to be toward
John Sherman. He can carry New York, and
he can bring more financial backing into thecon
test than all the other candidates combined.
This point is one which the convention cannot
but take full cognizance of, and the fact that
Sherman is an Ohio man is by no means source
of weakness, when it is remembered that Ohio is
now the only Republican State which holds an
Octoher eIeetion

All Accounted for Except Flanagan.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WAsHINGroN, May 25.-Al but one of the
Texas delegates to the Republican convention
arrived in the city today. Flanagan is the alb
sent one. There are now many Southern dele
gates to Chicago here, and they are receiving
a good deal of attention from friends of the
different candidates. The Texas delegates are
especially sought after, as they are uninstrueted
Friends of Blaine have been assiduous in ex-
tending them courtesies. The preliminary work
before Chicago is getting pretty warm here.
Judging from the activity of friends Of candi-
dstes, especially of the friends of Arthur and
Blaine, the contest for the nomination is going
to be very warm one.

The Question of Control in Egypt-The Sui
tan Refuses to Cooperate.
LONDON. May &C. The Pail Mall Gazette says
that France asked that, before the meeting of
the proposed conference, England should con
sent to place Egypt under international con
troll Granville objected to this while British
military occupation of Egypt should continue.
At that, France asked that the duration of the
English occupation should be limited, and re-
newed its demand for immediate international
control. Granville named five years as the min
imum for English occupation, and insisted on
postponement of the proposed international CON
troll until after the English had withdrawn, but
France steadfastly adhered to the previous
demand, until, at last, Granville offered to
consent to the principle of multiple con-
troll, provided it should be Disguised
France accepted this caring little for the
shadow but anxious for the substance France
is now trying to limit English occupation to
three years. The Gazette denounces the scheme
of multiple control, however it may be dis
guised 1t says the Cabinet has decided to ac
cept the French proposal, and will evacuate
Egypt within the desired period and an inter
national board will be arranged, with supreme
authority over Egyptian finances.

LOSSES BY THE FLAMES.
The Great Oil Fire at Philadelphia Gradually
Burning Itself Out.

PHILADELPHIA, May 26-The big iire at the
Atlantic Refinery Companys works, whichstarted
on Friday night, is gradually burning itself out.
The burned district covers an area Of about four
acres and is strewn with tho wrecks of thirty
two massive iron tanks. A majority of the latter
were located in a hollow, the flames having been
carried to them by the burning oil as it flowed
from the few tanks located on the
more elevated part of the works. The
burning OIL which flowed from the bombarded
tank ON Saturday, flowed into this hollow AID
set fire to trees, grass and bushes, leaving the
ground perfectly bare. Fiftyfve stills, all filed
with oil, and threatened with destruction, were
saved. One of the most remarkable things
about the fire was the saving of an immense agi-
tator which was located in the center
of the burned district, and surrounded
by flames yesterday, when the smoke became
less dense, it was found intact. Steam was
forced into the tank, and it is supposed this pre-
vented an explosion. Nothing but a pile of de-
bris marks the spot where the extensive paraf-
fine works we're located. 1t is thought the loss
will exceed 5000, 600 The work of rebuilding
the destroyed works will be commenced at once
