After the second ballot had been taken
Governor Foster, Of Ohio, moved Il re-
cess until o'clock in the afternoon,
and his motion was seconded by Mr..
Dutlield, OF Virginia. On behalf Of
New Jersey, Senator Sewell demanded n
roll call, which was Immediately pro-
ceeded with. When Missouri was
reached in the call OF States it was SO
evident that the matter would carry
that Senator Sewell, OF New Jersey,
withdrew his demand for the call and
the convention adjourned until 4
o'clock.
On reassembling at 4 o'clock this even
ing, Mr.. Hiscock moved to adjourn un-
til IL o'clock Monday morning, and on
that motion demanded a call OF States.
The motion carried by vote OF 4O2 to
800. New York and Indiana voted no.
This is regarded us test OF the Harri-
son strength New York, having an
nounced her Intention to support tudt-

How a European War Would

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR ERIN
In the Proclamation of the Emperor
OF Germauy-How the Emerald
Isle Would Profit by an Up
hcavai in Europe.

LONDON, June 23.-Amid all the Csti.
mates. both favorable and adverse, ofthe
character of William H., a feeling had
obtained in Europe that Emperor Fred
erick's death would cause no important
change in the policy of the German Em-
pire. Allowing for the different charae-
ieEs OF the two men, clever thinkers had
pondered over the situation and agreed
that although there would be new oc-
cupant upon the throne. Bismarck
would continue to shape the policy OF
Germany, and ii was considered that his
voice WIS for peace.
1t is hardly to be supposed that the
then Grown Prince read all the uhcem..
Portable prophesies OF the wise men OF
Europe, but 1t would seem Us though he
took u malicious pleasure in stultifying
their predictions. The breath was
scarcely out OF his fathers body before
he issued an army address that sent q
thrill OF fear through Europe. II he
meant to make it known once for all
that he is no mere puppet TO be manip-
ulated by others, he has gained his end,
and his strong individuality will cause
his very word and action to be studied
in the future by uneasy statesmen in
every part OF Europe
The world could hardly show greater
contrast than that between this bril-
liant Emperor, at the head OF the best
army Of modern times, and
half starved peasant OF Tipperary, aud
yet the utterances of the former are not
without influence upon the Irish cotter.
II there should be war England, will
be involved sooner or later, and the
change that will be inevitable then in
her home atTairs must affect the poorest
of her subjects. England will perhaps
see the necessity then of making some
Of the concessions asked for Ireland, aud
Ireland, forgetting hereditary grievances,
would be OF great assistance to England.
Without a settlement OF the all import
mt question OF the tenure Of land, the
latter could hardly hope for Ireland's
nd. Thus war might bring about a
Detter'state OF thingsIin the sister island. :.
n any one had twenty years ago pre-
iicted that Ireland's struggle for Home
Rule would be aided by u Hohenzollern,
he would have been regarded US luna
tic, but in the light Of recent events and
'uture possibilities, this seems probable.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 2S.-In the

also reported the bill introduced by him
to give effect to the Chinese treaty
The only amendments are provisions
taken from the Morrow bill, making the
bill take effect upon the ratification oi
the treaty, and wiping out the section
allowing six months during which Chi
nese may return upon certificates. The
report is unanimous, Mr.. Morrow con
senting to the recommendation that his
bill lie upon the table.

at is all settled now" he said, "the
convention has wanted Blaine and no
other from the first and is going to get
him. 1t will come on Mondays first
ballot, and it will come in such a way
that he can't decline" This Is what
they are saying; that it will come to
Blaine as the most conspicuous party
honor ever conferred on an American
citizen, for it will come after he tried to
induce the convention to take another.
This, they add, will not only settle the
question of acceptance, but the election
as well.
BLAINE so NOMINATED
on SO staunch an American platform
will leave nothing for Cleveland, the
bandanna and the English timber
The Blaine shouters are very iubilant
tonight and they seem to have good
reason for the faith that is in them.
M'KrNLEY is MORE SPOKEN OF
than ever since his manly, winning
speech in the convention to-day, and il
Ohio would give him a show he might
yet be struck and struck hard. So far as
| can learn, Ohio will not do anything
in time to help him. This is being un-
derstood tonight and it gives rise to
suggestion that maybe it could be done
without Ohio. McKinley's wife, n con-
tirmed invalid, is in the city. One who
knows the circumstances says she is
PRAYING THAT HER HUSBAND
may be let alone. Mckinley, am told
further, fears that his wife could not
survive the nervous strain OF his candi-
dacy. The great crowd goes to its little |
bed tonight complaining that it is being
kept here unnecessarily and looks for
ward to the nomination of Blaine on
Ii Blaine takes the first place,
Harrison stands well Tor second.

Chicago, June 23.-Earnest efforts
were made last night and to-day to solid
ify the West Virginia delegation to go
solid, first for Harrison, then for McKin-
ley. Moore and Cooper would not agree
to leave Blaine, and so the mountain
statesmen remained split. On the first
ballot to-day The delegation stood /:
Blaine, Moore and Cooper; Gresham,
Hubbard and Frew; Sherman, Curtin
and Payne; Harrison, berkshire, Miller
and Peterson; Mckinley, Swami and

Everything Looks Like BIninc---A Stnm-
pedo for Him Very Probable.
CmcAGo, June 13.-The fifth day
closes with the situation showing Blaine
against the field. There was a narrow
escape from Blaine stampede in the
convention this afternoon. Depew,
who was responsible for the Harrison
combinatian, which yesterday gave such
promise, to-day admitted the failure OF
that movement and declared himself for
Blaine. Instead OF getting the nomina-
ton this morning, Harrison was forced
to the utmost OF his strength and com
PEELED to fall back, confessedly beaten.
Harrison's friends are very indignant at
the manner in which he has been
treated and claim mere pretense was
made Of giving him hearty support, and
that from the first it was not
INTENDED ny ELKGNs
aud his colleagues to permit the Hoos-
ier's nomination. They are in M ugly
mood tonight, and while confessing
their iavorite's defeat, have no plans
for the future. Probably they will swal-
low their disappointment with as good
grace as possible and play for the second
place on the ticket.
The Elkins programme OF beating the
regular candidates, one after another,
thus preparing the way for Blaine, as a
finality, which has previously been de.
scribed in these dispatches, is being sue
cessfully carried out. Sherman fell by
the wayside Friday and Harrison was
beaten to-day. Senator John Sherman
telegraphed the four Ohio delegates at
large Friday evening that they could
exercise their best judgment concerning
FUTURE OPERATION.
To-day he telegraphed more explicit re-
lief OF all pledges to him. Three mer
are talked Of us being strong enough tC
heat the Elkins' combination for Blaine
These are Gresham, Allison and Nc
Kinley. The last named had made {

FREAKS OF NATURE


IInt woFo caused by tho Earthquake of
1890.
PARKERsBuRo, W. VA, June a.
Near Wcyman's, about eight miles from
Weston, there is n spring which is at
tracting great deal of attention by its
peculiar freaks. At times the water in
the spring sinks completely ont Of sight,
leaving dry hole. This condition Of af-
fairs lasts but a short time, when with n
rush and growl the spring suddenly iills
and throws u strong volume Of water and
gas twenty-five feet in the air. Itissaid
the spring produces enongh gas to light
up n town OF three or four Thousand peo-
pie. The strongest part OF the affair is
that before the great Southern earth
quake OF 1886 there was no sign OF a
spring on the spot where IL now exists,
aud that on the morning after the earth,
quake it was found bubbling and tbrSw-
ing out gas and water in great Jets.

votes blocked the way of the grea
alleged booms.
These men were Blaine and Mckinley
The convention wanted the former ant
might go with enthusiasm to the latter
il Ohio would drop Sherman and give
her young son o show. McKintey''
speech begging delegates not to dishonol
him by voting for him made
DEEP IMPRESSION.
Men sad: "He means every word of it
He is an honest, high.minded man, and
he has brains, with experience. He is
worthy to be President. Why doesn't
some friend induce Sherman to let go?"
When Mckinley spoke, he did it with
no smacking OF fuss and feathers. He
did not take the platform, rs he was
urged to do, hut stood on his chair, one
way and then another, in the hope that
his weakened voice might reach every
where.
HIS FINE FACE WAS PALE.
He spoke deliberately, but with evil
dent embarrassment. His chief aim was
to be heard and understood. He avoid
ed, so far as possible, all opportunities
for applause. His was the appeal Of an
honest man, not to subject him to sus-
picion of treachery. 1t may also have
been an appeal not to subject him to
more temptation than the average man
can bear.
When the convention resolved to take
the first recess Of the day, there wQs
GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT,
for large amounts had been paid for
good seats, and there were thousands in
the hall who had never boen in before,
and did not expect to get in again.
There was to be greater disappoint-
ment in the evening, when it had been
freely circulated that nominee was to
be found and his name was Blaine.
No icssa person than Chauncey NJ.
Dcpew said within five feet OF me:
"Biaine will be nominated with whiri
on the first ballot" Instead Of that
came the startling surprise of an I'D
journment as the very first move. All
the house wondered. Warner Miller,
temporarily in the chair, was the most
surprised and disconnected man in the |
house. He expected it was going to be
his proud lot to announce
BLAINE AS STANDARD BEARER
for 1888. As one State after another
fell in line, the most pronounced Blaine
States among them, the situation was
worse than a Chinese puzzle. When
New York voted against adjournment
here was applause, but more surprise.
The great crowd filed out, asking what
it meant. The fifth day OF the conven-
ion was over, and SO far the whole
hing was water-haul. 1t was five to
nothing in favor of Chicago, and the
lotels had good reason to thank some

Mr.. Mckinley spoke earnestly and
with emphasis. He was evidently sin
cere, and the Convention at the con-
clusioR Of his little speech
GENEROUSLY APPLAuDED.
The ballot was then proceeded with
without further incident until Illinois
was reached, when break of three
votes from Gresham to Harrison created
u sensation, and was received with
mingled demonstration oil Misses and
applause. When New York was reached
the galleries hissed. After the vote OF
the State giving Harrison tifty.nine
votes, one OF the delegates demanded q
poll OF the delegation. The poll showed
no change in the vote.
The ballot resulted us follows:

CHICAGO, June est was an intense,

Some of the ablest and most anxious OF
its members had spent but little il any
of the night in bed. Bepew, Miller,
Tom Plat and Hiscock, Of New York f;
EIkins, Charles Emory Smith, OF Penn
sylvania, and other leaders, who have
been trying to prevent Blaine's nomina-
ton in accordance with his wishes, had
discovered towards morning that the
man with whom they thought they
could succeed was
