DELEGATES TO CHICAGO.
The BLACK COHORTS OPEN THE
RADICAL WRANGLE.

Two Sets of Representative Chosen
Which Would Disgrace an African
Jungle-A Delegation Chosen in
Louisiana.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The District Re-
publican Convention, to elect delegates to
the National Convention in Chicago, as
sembled at Wizards Hall in this city at 10
o'clock this morning. AS most of the dele
gates were negroes, and as there
were contesting delegations present
from all the precincts in the city,
there was every reason 10 expect the same
tumult and disorder which prevailed at
the convention which was held for the same
purpose four years ago. In less than half
an hour the convention was little more than
bowling mob, and the rival factions were
struggling tiercely for possession of the
stage. Frederick Douglass, during a brief
lull, made short speech counseing order
and harmoney, but he had no sooner
finished than bedlam broke loose again.
a REGULAR BEAR GARDEN.
Quarreling, wrangling and shouting con
tinued until about O'Clock, at which time
than when it assembled. The police, who
had been passive spectators of the disorderly
proceedings, then took possession and
cleared the hall. Half an hour later all per
sons who could show credentials as dele
gates were re-admitted one by one and the
convention resumed its session. Those
of the delegates who belonged to
what is known as the Chase faction finally
succeeded in getting partial control of the
convention and elected Judge s. A. Shella-
barger and Fred A. Dyson as delegates,
with w. Calvin Chase and NJ. NJ. Holland
as alternateS. Their chairman thereupon
declared the convention adjourned. The
Carson faction then took possession of the
hall and elected as delegates Perry Carson
and Andy Gleason, with Daniel Cahill and
MarCellus West as alternates The pro
ceedings came to an end about o'clock this
afternoon.
Carson is negro saloon keeper, and
Gleason is a white contractor who flour
ished under Boss Shepherd. They repre-
sent the Blain element. The other faction
is made up of the fisherman men. 1t is hard
to say which set is the regular one, for the
proceedings i'm both meetings were irregular
IN the extreme. Money was freely used on
both sides.

PHILADELpHIA's BIG BLAZE.
The Loss Upward of 100000, with
Heavy Insurance,

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2I.-The disastrous
conflagration in the retail millinery and
ladies' furnishings district at Eighth and
Arch streets last night was gotten under
complete control about o'clock this morn
ing after half dozen firms had been COM
pletely burned out, and some fifteen to
twenty other establishments seriously dam
aged by fire and water The books of the
firms who suffer greatest loss are in the
RUNS of the buildings, and it is difficult
TO obtain reliable estimates of the losses
and assurances. The losses, however, will
no doubt aggregate upwards of Sl,000,000,
and nearly all the establishments were well
insured. Marks Bros, milliners, estimate
their loss at S375, 900, with insurance of
100000. The building of this firm, which
was situated on the northwest corner of
Eighth and Arch streets, was completely
destroyed, not a particle of the walls
standing.
The building of Shoneman Bros, Nos. 116
and 1lS North Eighth street, is also a COM
plete wreck, and their loss is estimated at
500, 900, with insurance of $S0,0O0.
On the northeas cornerof Eighth and Arch
Adolph Heller's millinery and fancy goods
establishment is leveled to the ground, as
were also the adjoining buildings, Nos 73l
and 733 Arch street, occupied by j. and l..
Baxter, artificial flowers and feathers /;
Strauss. Taunhouser & Co, millinery, and
w. G. Young, ornamental stained glass.
Mr.. Heler's loss is estimated at $l50,000.
His insurance is not ascertained.
Strauss, Taunhouser g. Co.'S loss will
reach $60,O They are well insured
Mr. Baxter's loss will he about $35, ,000
He is fully covered by insurance.
The losses on these destroyed buildings
will aggregate about 100000.
Various other firms on the south side of
Arch street west of Eighth were partially
burned out, or had their stocks seriously
damaged by water. The losses of these
firms will range from $4,000 to $4,000.
WINE CELLARS BURNED.
CLEVELAND, o., Jan. A.-Word comes

ESCAPED UNDER FIRE.
James Barrow Still Free Though His
Brother SQuealed

James Barrow Still Free Though His
Brother SQuealed
MONTGOMERY, ALA, Jan. 24.-The man
who was captured Sunday night, and was
supposed to be one of the Barrow brothers,
has confessed his identity. He is Reuben
Barrow, the younger of the two, and says
that the man who shot Bray and escaped
is James Barrow, his brother. James was
surrounded yesterday in a negro cabin
seven miles from town, but made his
escape, although he was fired
al by policemen with shot
guns at a distance of thirty yards. He
jumped from the cabin with his boots in
his hand, but when hit by the shot he
dropped them and, turning around, fired
his pistol at Policeman Young and then
took refuge in a neighborhing swamp
Night prevented further pursuit. Last
night he came out of the swamp, stole a horse
from a planter near by and fed. Officers
have been in pursuit all day with dogs, but
nothing further has been heard from him.
The Barrows are wanted in Arkansas for
train robbery near Texarkana, and the
Southern Express Company has offered a
large reward for their capture.

REGULATING IMMIGRATION.
Mr.. Palmer Addresses the Senate on
His. Bill

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Mr Palmer ad
dressed the Senate to-day on the subject of
the bill introduced by him on Jan. II, to
regulate immigration. He disclaimed any
intention to prevent any capable, honest,
industrious, law-abiding person from seek
ing home on American soil But, he
said, an undue and oppressive competition
in wages was being felt at the
industrial centres; public institu-
tions were being over-taxed, and worst
of all, there was a growth of classes un-
American and hard of assimilation, which
menaced the public peace and threatened
to overturn all established law and usage.
The conviction was growing that a country
withits 100000 900 of population and its fifty
billions of wealth had passed be
yond need of immigration, and that
it was time to go out of the asylum
business; time to cease 10 be a dumping
ground for the vicious, delinquent human
product of other nations. The object of
this bill was to provide for exclusion of de
pendent, delinquent and dangerous classes
through an inspection and investigation in
their own country instead of at ports of
entry, and to effect this with the least
possible hardship or inconvenience to desir-
able immigrants. At the conclusion of Mr..
Palmer's remarks, the bill was referred to
the Committee on Foreign Relations, and
the Senate took up the deficiency bill.
Without disposing of the question, the Sen
ate at :3j O'Clock adjourned.

CHICAGO. Jan. 24.--W H. Barnum,
chairman of the National Democratic Com
mittee, gave the Chicago committee to
secure the Democratic National Convention
an informal talk this forenoon at the
Iroquois Club He discussed Chicago as a
point for holding the convention, and said
he thought it possessed many advantages
over any city in the country. The new
auditorium would afford ample seating
capacity, and that was a very desirable
thing There were those who favored
San Francisco. but he said he feared that if
the convention went TO that point some Of
the delegates would not get home in time to
vote. He recognized the fact that the South
would prefer either st. Louis or Cincinnati,
but if Chicago did its best in working for
the convention it would probably get it.

a Struggle.
New YORK, Jan. 24.-William H. Rogers,
a green goods operator, was arrested TO-
night for swindling Farmer Asbury II. Per-
kins, of Lancaster, S. C. Perkins is
a prominent resident of that town
and county commissioner. In
December he was sent TO Boston with town
ship bonds amounting to over $500, 900 to
deposit. On his return he met Rogers on
Broadway. The latter said he had met
Perkins before, but the latter did not re-
member him. Perkins swallowed tho bait
though, and when Rogers offered some
green goods" and explained the utter I'M
possibility of detection, Perkins became
interested, Rogers told him that govern
ment officials devoted millions of green
goods yearly to their own private use, and
there was no reason why Perkins should not
make money too.
BIT AT THE BAIT.
Perkins went home and returned Sunday
last to get some of the green goods. De
tectives met the pair in the street and
watched them. Perkins sent a messenger
to Wall street on Monday and exchanged
$3.50 in silver for bills. All the arrange
ments for the transfer of the green goods
were effected, and the exchange was
to be made at Desbrosses Ferry.
At the ferry the pair were arrested. Rogers
tried to shoot the detectives, but the re-
volver was twisted out of his hand ms it
went off No one was hurt. At police
headquarters Rogers was searched and $400,
which Perkins had paid him for green goods,
valued at 81 00O was found. In Perkins
valise the stuff was found. Asusual the pack
ages of bills contained blank green paper,
with but $32 worth of bills around them.
