ELKINS EXPLAINS.
Blaine Must be the Choice of the Lead.
ing Candidates, or No Go.


CHICAGO, June 25th-A. Mt was nearly
1890 before the meeting adjourned A few
of the chief leaders, including Elkins (pre-
sumably sub-cOm -nittee) Immediately be-
gan close session without leaving the
room.
Elkins was seen by an Associated Press
reporter Immediately after the adjournment
of the caucus, at $50 a. NJ. He said
" want what [ say to the Associated
Press to go to the country as the qualified
sentiment of the leading friends of
Blaine. There has been much misunder-
standing in the matter, both by the public
and those who represent the public in the
Convention. Mr.. Blaine is not candidate
before this Convention, unless-by and with
the consent of at least four of the leading
candidates now before it. He will not be
placed In nomination, under any cireum-
stances, and his friends trust that his
friends in the Convention will refrain from
voting for him until every other man has
had an opportunity for the nomination. AS
L said, we want at least four of the Presi-
eatial candidates to relinouish their hold

| the Convention and make Mr. Blaine their
candidate as nearly unanimously aspossible

Manley, will insist upon this. and they are

friends of Blaine. OF course, there are a
Few hot-heads here, as most anywhere, and
they are attempting to force things, but
such a move will be deprecated by those
who understand Mr.. Blaine's relations to
this Convention, in view of his letters.
The chief reason for the caucus tonight
was to obviate anything contemplated

forced upon the Convention. lean now

The other candidates must have their day

SHERMAN TALKS.
He Says He Has No Intention of With
drawing.

WASHINGTON, June 24th.-Senator Sher-
man, when asked yesterday if it was true
that he had been asked to withdraw in
favor of Mckinley, said he would neither
deny nor affirm receiving such dispatch.
Most certainly, he said, he would decline
to withdraw. If Mckinley was put in
nomination he would be against the field.
Then see how strong he is.
He did not think that there was anv
danger of Ohio leaving him TO take up Nc
kinley. He said New York went to Har-
rlson to take the vote of the doubtful States
out OF the field. The result of their pur-
pose, said he, did not surprise me- If on
Monday Depew should place Blaine in
nomination in q speech, or announces New
York S vote for him, then Blaine would be
III the position that the other candidates
would combine against him. If bis friends
imagine he will be nominated without a
call OF States, they are mistaken"
Sherman continued: If Blaine comes
before the Convention / do not see wby the
Alger men should go for him, because that
would wipe the Michigan men out Blaine
would have to get Allison's hundred votes
or so, Greshams and General Harrisons,
and do not understand why those gentle
men should be deserted. Suppose the
Ohio delegation divide. that Mckinley

DID HE CHANGE HIS MIND.
CHICAGO, June 24th.-Telegrams were
received from Sherman at Washington last
night practically releasing the Ohio dele
CATION from supporting him any further.
He will be satisfied TO take the position of
Secretary of the Treasury under any Ohio
Republican who may defeat Grover Cleve-
land.
LATEsT-HE HAS NOT WITHDRAWN
WASHINGTON, June 24th.-At half-past
10 o'clock this evening a reporter of the
Associated Press called upon Senator Sher-
man and informed him of the conflicting
rumors respecting himself from Chicago.
have not withdrawn" he said, either
conditionally or Internationally"
He conversed freely about the extraor-
dinary condition of affairs, but authorized
no publication of his remarks beyond that
already quoted, repeating that he had not
withdrawn and was still awaiting the ac-
ton of the Convention.

THE AMERICAN SPHINX.
Blaine Looks Happy, but viii Not Talk
Much Politics.

EDINBURGH, June 24th.-At o'clock last
evening the coaches of the Blaine Carnegie
party rolled into Edinburgh, being the
tourists longest days coaching since the
trip began. Blaine had not heard ANYTHING
of the proceedings at Chicago when he ar.
rived here. Nothing but the tariff, Blaine
thinks, will break the solid South. He is
unquestionably pleased with the demon
strations that have been made in his favor
at Chicago in so far as considered personal
tributes, but asserts that he really hopes
the burden of leadership will fall upon the
shoulders of another man.
Although Blaine steadfastly refuses to
talk about the possible outcome of the Chi
cago Convention, other members of Car
negie,s coaching party declare that he
would not decline TO become candidate if
unanimously nominated
When Blaine heard of Depew's predic-
ton, that he would be nominated by 4
O'Clock in the afternoon Monday, he said
not word but looked happy.

ONE OF THE SURPRISES
LATEST FROM THE FRONT.
Midnight Survey of the Field, and
What It Revealed.

CHICAGO, June 24th-P. M,-The Sher-
| man managers have got their second wind
tonight and are mysteriously confident
and satisfied over the prospects for tc-mor-
| rows session of the Convention. Nothing
definite can be learned from any of them,
but it is known that they have repaired ali
their broken fences in the Ohio delegation,
and that the delegation will vote solidly for
Sherman again tomorrow. Governor
Foraker, who last night said there would
be break, says this evening it will be
unanimous for Sherman. The men having
Sherman's interests at heart have been
very busy with the New York delegation
to-day, and in spite of an apparently au-
thentlc report that New York had changed
its determination of last night-to vote for
Blaine-and would go back to Harrison, it
IS asserted IN certain quarters tonight that
they will support Sherman.
BLAINE RUMoRs TONIGHT
are as many as leaves in the forests. One
of these, which has gained the largest cir
culatlon, is the statement that Blaine had
cabled to somebody that he would accent
the nomination under no circumstances.
and instructed his friends to desist in their
canvass. Another rumor is to the effect
that several telegrams have been sent by
different delegates to Blaine, asking him if
he would accept the nomination, and that
Blaine's friends-notably Elkins and Man
ly-have also cabled asking Blaine to make
no reply, thereby allowing the impression
to prevail that he would accept.
a meeting of representatives of all the
candidates was held in the Grand Pacific
this evening in an attempt to solve the
problem. The rumor that a cablegram
had been received from Blaine in the meet
ing could not be confirmed by any one Of
the half-dozen gentlemen who emerged
from the meeting up to 12:15. One of the
gentlemen who entered the meeting said it
was for the purpose of effecting an organ
ization of Blaine's friends, to be prepared
for any emergency that might arise in the
convention tomorrow. There had been
counting of noses, and it was
found that the number that could be
depended upon at this juncture was not
over 400. 1t had been supposed by the
Blaine managers that the number was $50,
but the 130 additional are not in a position,
under the present condition of affairs, to
commit themselves unreservedly to Blaine
Among those present in the rIeeting
were S. B. Elkins, r. j. Kerns, D. B.
Fessenden, John Swiss, B. F. Jones, Jos. B.
Manley and NJ. DeYoung. The meetin z
was presided over by Creed Raymond.

MKINLEY PULLS OUT.

| Immediately the latter gentleman
mounted chair and surveyed for moment
the crowd of delegates, who looked at him
in some surprise. With much feeling in
his voice he stated that he had been sent
there by Ohio to work for John Sherman;
that he had been honored by Senator Sher-
mans confidence, and raising his hand
impressively in the air, added " l cannot
permit my name 10 be used in this Con-
vention. | would be disloyal to the State
| in which | live should | waver in my de-
votion to the chief of our choice. l there
fore request, gentlemen of the Convention,
aye, | demand that no delegate in this Con-
vention who does not want to cast refec-
ton on me east further ballot for me-"
Amid round of applause Congressman
Mckinley resumed his seat and the call
was resumed.
DURING THE ROLL CALL.
There was slight demonstration when
the vote of Illinois showed divided dele
CATION, three of the delegates joining the
Harrison men.
A still more pronounced cheer ascended
when the Indiana delegation, which yes
terdav could not show a solid front, cast its
thirty votes in bunch for Harrison.
New York, seventy-two votes" said the
clerk. A cry of "hush" went up from the
crowd. The announcement OF the vote
showed fifty nine votes for Harrison, with
Alger, Blaine and Sherman bad seconds.
A delegate asked that the vote be polled,
and this tedious proceeding progressed for
several minutes.
John B. Weber," called the clerk.
The familiar form of the Buffalo Con-
gresham became at once distinct amid the
New York delegates. when l came here
this morning" he said, 81 had determined
to vote for Mr.. Depew until the end, but at
his urgent request and in Difference to the
evident inclination of my colleagues, 1
shall vote for Mr.. Harrison"
The crowd was indignant at the imposi-
ton OF a stump speech in the middle of
roll call and Missed the speaker vigorously
Nearly all the States which followed
added quota of more or less strength for
Harrison.
Pennsvlvania's continued adherence to
Sherman excited some surprise, as many
members of the delegation, including Rep
resentative Bayne, were loudly shouting
for Harrison.
Wisconson's twenty votes for Harrison
created ripple. When the call was con-
cluded an Alabama delegate, whose alter
nate had voted in his absence, objected to
his alternate's choice, but he was speedily
declared out of order by the Chair and sat
down.

cussion on Mr.. Morleys resolution will

by Gladstone in order to kill the Uniop;sts

pledges made by these honorable gentle
men when they were elected to Parliament
as bona-fde Unionists. The effect of this
vote, as 1t is well understood that they will
vote with the Government, in view of the
recent decision of Judge Nisby in the con-
splracy cases under which DiliOn's ofense
was classed, will be to rob the Unionists of

ADDING strength to the opinion that tbs
peace of Europe cannot much longer be
maintained. The action of the various
powers In continually Increasing their war
credits causes more alarsa in well ir,forned
circles that such incidents as a cahinet
crisis IN Bulgaria, intrigues in the Pall,an
states or reprisals between Germany and
france, as one can see. nothing but general
bankruptcy, accompanied by social nm.
heaVais ana the triumph of revolution
ary principles as TIE end Of the nrenara-
tons. The total effective force of
European armies at the present time ON "a
peace footing" IS over 100000. The
annual expenditure on the, armies and
neets OF the Independent powers is over
tl6O,OOO,OOO sterling, or rather more than a
quarter OF their united revenues, and this
Is continually increasing.
INCREASING TIE ARMIES.
The great Powers are more energetic
than ever IN adding to their military
strength. Germany must make herself Sc
cure against France and France against
Germany. Austria cannot look with in
difference on German or Russian military
preparations, and italy cannot ignore Aus
ira. No nation is anxious for war. On
the contrary, a pacific disposition is evi-
dent: 1t is in the situation itself and in its
possible development that the danger lies
for the day will surely come when limit
OF possibility in military equipment shall
have been reached. For some time past
the Powers must have been drawing on the
future IN their expenditures.
THE FINANCIAL FEATURE OF III.
The capital of the European debt is
already enormous, and the interest makes
heavy demands on the industry and re-
sources of the various countries. The point
must be reached soon beyond which it will
be impossible to proceed in military ex-
penditure, and an advance now means for
the future an intolerable position. There
can be no escape from the fact that the bur
dens imposed by military rivalry on the
Continent, which since 1870 have assumed
very marked character, are becoming
more and moreintolerable.

est wish to, escape the nomination. Tia
trouble is the first choice Of every candi-
date after himself is Blaine. Each wants
10 hold on as long as possible, in the hope
of firing the others ont and getting the
prize himself, bat not man is willing to
be beaten by any other candidate in prefer
ence to- Blaine. If John Sherman mast be
be beaten, why should not he prefer to be
beaten by an old leader of thu party
rather than new one? If Harrison mus
be beaten why should not he take move
kindly to have Blaine beat him rather than
Gresham? But what State can match De-

The Times says: The pretense that
Blaine does not want the Nomination NAV

is the second choice OF four-fifths of tht

THE AFTERNOON SESSION.
On Reassembling the Convention Ad-

When the Convention reassembled there
was an air of anticipation and eagerness in
the air. Everybody expected the final solu-
ton OF the problem that has been vexing
the delegates for the past week
1t was understood that on the seventh
ballot Blaine would be nominated, and the
Alger men were getting in their work to
secure for him the second place on the
ticket
A 4:10 P. NJ. Chairman Estee called the
Convention TO order, and balloting was
about to begin when Maryland delegate
moved that the Convention adjourn until
IL o'clock Monday.
The roll-call followed, and by vote of

drawn. This was agreed to, and by a viva

William Walter Phelps of New Jersey
visited the Illinois headquarters to-day and
had long conference with Senator Far

Gresham and Phelps people had formed a
combination and that the ticket woald be

The announcement of the total vote led

was greeted witt, applause.
According to the programme which ,be
