THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Preparation for the Coming Great Politi-
cal Event.

At q meeting of the subcommittee of
the national republican committee, held in
Chicago for the purpose of arranging the
preliminaries for the coming national con-
vention, Hon. John c. New, Of Indiana;
John A. Martin, Of Kansas, and John n.
Cough, proxy for Senator, Logan, were
present. The plans for convention hall,
made by the music festival committee, were
adopted, with notifications, increas-
ing the seating capacity of the
gallery so that the hall will accom-
modate between 5000 and 5000, ex-
elusive of the platform for the delegates,
which has seating capacity of 1, 900. Pro-
visions have been made for the daily press
of the country upon as liberal a basis as
possible, and a reportorial force of about
500 can be accommodated. Applications
from the daily press for seats will be con-
sidered by the subcommittee at its next
meeting. Inasmuch as the whole country
is to be provided for, it will be expected
that the daily newspapers will only apply
for sue b number of seats as is absolutely
necessary. The committee call attention
to the fact that the associated press will
make full and complete reports of every de-
tail and transaction of the convention, for
whom it will have ample facilities.

POLITICAL.

The republican primaries of Arm
strong and Allegheny counties, Pa, re-
suited in the election of Blaine delegates 10
the state convention.
The Westmoreland county (Pa.) re-
publican primaries were the most exciting
in the history of the county. Blaine dele
gates were elected.
Maury county (Tenn.) republicans
elected Arthur delegates to the stale con-
vention to select delegates to Chicago.
Republican primaries at st. Louis for
the election Of delegates to the state con-
vention to nominate delegates to the ma
tiOnal convention, resulted in sweeping
victory for the Filly faction, they carrying
twenty five of the twenty eight wards in the
city.
The republican conventions in Arm
strong, Warren and Greene counties, Pa,
elected Blaine delegates to the state con-
VentiOn.
Republican senators met in caucus
after adjournment of the senate on the list,
to consider the condition of business before
the senate and discuss the order in which
it shall be transacted.
The republican convention of the
Eighteenth (Pa.) congressional district,
representing Huntington, Juniata, Fulton,
ed Blaine delegates to the state convention
Credentials were not given to the delegates
until they signed written pledge to sup
port Blaine for the presidential nomination.
The caucus of republican senator's on
the Sd was not very fully attended. The
education bill was the only topic of dis
cussion. Several amendments proposed by
the caucus committee were approved by
the caucus. Chief among them was prop
osition to reduce the aggregate appropria-
lions to between SO, 600, 900 and $50, 0O0,-
900.
The democrats of Kanawha county,
Va, selected Tilden delegates to the state
convention, which elects delegates to the
national convention. Prominent politicians
predict that the state delegation to Chicago
will be strong for Tilden.
The republican caucuses in Quincy
resulted in sixty-seven Logan delegates and
eleven anti-Legan. Reports from the town
ship insure a solid Logan delegation from
Adams county to the state convention.

DISASTER AT SEA.
Wreck of the Steamer Daniel Steinmann
.--Great Loss of Life Feared.

The steamer ssDaniel Steinmann,"
from Antwerp for Halifax, sunk off Sam
bro, about twenty miles from her destina-
ton. Intelligence so far is very meager. 1t
is said that the captain and five of the crew
were the only persons saved. The ship
had ninety passengers and thirty -four Of
4 crew. Twenty passengers were
to land at Halifax, (all Germans,)
aud seventy for New York. She is sup
posed to have struck on the "Sisters,' off
SambrO, and shortly after sank. Her masts
are now visible from the shore. Tugs
which left for the scene Of the wreck have
returned without being able to reach the
neighborhood of the steamer, owing to the
rough sea. Another attempt will be made
to reach the wreck as soon as the weather
moderates. The Steinmann has five bulk
heads, and her engines are 1873 horsepower.
ANTWERP, April with the ex-
ception of Mr.. Clark, of New York, the
passengers on board the Inflated steamer
"Steinmann' were natives of Germany,
Austria and Italy, The total number lost
were five officers. thirty-three sailors and
nine passengers.

Bridal Chamber.
Letter to Toronto Globe.

New York Letter to Toronto Globe.
A BRIDES chamber of great elegance
was recently fitted up by gentleman
of New York for his daughter, who
was a bride prospective. The entire
suit of furniture is of white enamel,
with an exquisite tracery of gold run
ming through it. The bed-stead and
bureau are square-topped, with lilies,
exquisitely carved and veined with
gold. The window draperies aud por-
there's are of white plush suspended
from curtain-poles of white enamel and
gilt, and edged with a heavy fringe of
white, gold and pale rose. A carpet of
indescribable neutral, scattered with
half-blown pink roses, covers the floor.
The chairs, couch and footstools are
upholstered in white plush and pale
rose satin, with slight threading of
gold. Ornaments of crystal and in rare
pink glass adorn the mantelS. The
walls are frescoed in design similar
to that of the bedstead and bureau, on
a ground of the same delicate rose tint
which mingles with the other appoint
ments of the room. The effect is sim
ply charming.

Reviewing the Great Riot.

Murat Halstead, editor of the CONNER
cial Gazette, of Cincinnati, reviews the
riots of that city in the following dispatch
to the New York Tribune: The number OF
persons killed and wounded in the riot thus
far are about 200. The court house is not
in utter ruin as it was at first supposed to
be. A large proportion Of valuable records
were saved. The money in the treasury is
all saved. The vaults, which were very
heavy, are mainly good. We have conf
dence that there will not he repetition OF
the terrors of the three nights that will be
so memorable here, but only the over
whelming force of the state troops prevents
further disastrous demonstration. The
determination to lyrch the gang of murder
ers in the prison and release the crowd of
rioters who have been made prisoners is
something terrific, and secret meeting was
held to. day, aud would mean mischief if
there were not thousand rifles and sever
al batteries at hand.

THE JEANNETTE INVESTIGATION.

the original journal of Capt. De Long, and
that all the records connected with the eX-
petition be produced. This was agreed to.

differ materially from what he has already

his brother by De Long-treatment that
Danenhower said "would have caused him
to 60 over the ships side if he had to en-
dure it, Bartlett, fireman on the jean
nette, testified that Jerome Collins told him
that De Long had made his life perfect
hell on earth; that he watched and logged
him like poor mans cur.
