CONVENTION HALL, SARATOGA, Sept. o3-
The first ballot i'm the republican state conven-
ton yesterday gave the leaders some data from
which to make calculations. Cornell gave his
votes to Davenport, Seward and Morton in
stead of putting his own name before the con-
veiition. study of the figures last night con-
WINGED him he could not concentrate enough
votes on himself to win. At a conference of his
ieutenants he was advised not TO let his
name go before the convention, and he
acquiesced in the opinion. 1t was agreed
to go in solid for Davenport. The fact became
generally known late last night, and a big
Davenport boom followed. II became apparent
that either Davenport or Bliss would win, with
the odds largely in favor OF Davenport. The
New York city men remained broken and de-
moraliZed. The country men would not come
to Bliss without union in New York. Sena-
tor Miller became shaky member of the COM
bination and showed signs of breaking to
Davenport. 1t was apparent that the bulk of
Cars strength was bent the same way on the
hrst ballot this morning. The drift set IL I'M
mistakably. The ballot was nothing less than
a stampede. Carr, Morton. Bliss and all pulled
out and Davenport went through with a rush.

JERSEY CITY, n. j., Sept 23.-An ordinance
regulating roller skating Kinks has passed the
Hoboken council. Ii fixes separate hours for
adults and minors, demands the exclusion OF
improper persons, puts the closing hour at IA

liquors at the rink. The license fee is fixed At
$3.50. Councilman Stanton made a strong argu-
meut in favor of the ordinance, and said no
amusement had been introduced i'm this coun-
try with more serious results than this. The
press daily chronicled reports OF elopements,
and in Hoboken a girl had been ruined and y

BERLIN. Sept. ga semi-official statement
Is made that the powers will not look calmly
on the breaking OF the treaty OF Berlin, but will
side with Turkey. and IL Russia opposes them
she will be isolated. Only after the Bulgnrians
have been restored to common sense can the
powers decide what shall be done for Bulgarian
unity.
ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 23.-The Russian gov
eminent has replied Ia Prince AeNander's dis
patch relative la Roumelia, that only the sigma
tory powers to the treaty OF Berlin are compe-
over Roumela. The government has ordered

vice may retain their commissions only on the
cond ton that they shall not cross the Balkans.
Gen. kaulbars has been ordered to resign his

enrolled in the militia OF Roumelia have been
discharged from the service as n precautionary
measure against the conveying OF military
secrets TO Turkey. The sympathy OF the Mus

LONDON. Sept. 23.-The Standard to-day,

ers on the Roumelian difficulty, but wants the
porte To take the initiatory step i'm the matter.
Russia will await decision from the porte
before committing herself on the question.

Civil Service Reform and Protection
Planks I'm the Platform.
SARATOGA, Sept. 23.-The second day of the
state republican convention opened cold and
stormy. During the night there were many
conferences. The committee on resolutions
heard several delegations during the night and
worked till a late hour on the platform. The
chaplain of the senate, Rev. DIR. s. V. Leech,
urged the committee to take "A square and bold
stand on the temperance question, and to rec
ommend a constitutional amendment. A ma
jority of the committee express opposition TO
the introduction OF any temperance plank in
the platform.
The hour of assembling appeared to be rather
strolled into the hall slowly, and it was not
until half-past ten that the chaplain offered
prayer. Immediately thereafter eX-Assembly
man David Healy, of Monroe. was voted per-
mission TO address the convention. He warned
the convention that mere promises were use
less. The convention (deInocratic) that meets
tomorrow might outbid the one that adjourns
to-day.
Gen. Sharp rose at the close of Mr. Healy's
address and moved that the committee on reso-
buttons be instructed to consider the points
raised and, if deemed advisable embody them
resolutions, Col. Bliss, replied that the plat
form had already been agreed upon. He be-
lieved that the laboring men would find on
reading II that the points raised by Mr.. Heay
had been fully recognized.
The Soldier and the Dude.
The committee on resolutions then through
Chairman Bliss, reported the platform. When
the clause relating to the preference of office
be given ex-soldiers was read, Corporal Tanner.
OF Brooklyn inquired If that meant that if the
soldier passed an examination that proved his
competency he should be appointed, even il
the college graduate of yesterday should pass
at g higher figure.
at Does" quickly rejoined Col. Bliss eff the
soldier passes eighty and the dude stands 100
