PARADE OF THE CLUBS.
A gorgeous parade of fully $4,000 uniformed
Democrats in procession was witnessed last
night by people in such numbers they could
be estimated only by hundreds of thousands.
The procession started at an early hour. Be-
fore the march began Olive street. the thor
onghfare leading to the convention hall, was
damned for mile--pavement, sidewalk,
cutters and stairways-with such a solid
mass OF human beings as perhaps never
before gathered in any American city. At
short intervals of the entire distance great
arches OF flame made spectacle of surprising
brilliancy. The street was only cleared sufi-
GENTLY for the procession by pounding pas
sage through the mob with trains of cable

President by the Prohibition Convention
at Indianapolis-The Cause of Woman
Suffrage Championed = The Platform
and National Committeeman.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 1.-The great bat
tie of tbs National Prohibition convention, IN
comparison with which all other business of
the convention IS unimportant, was fought
yesterday afternoon. 1t has been understood
from the FIRST that the all-absorbing Ques-
ton before this convention would be its
utterances on the subject of woman suffrage,
and both the friends and opponents of
that idea were represented on the floor
of the convention with their ablest advocates.
For two days the Committee on Resolutions
has been engaged upon this question. The
platform was presented at the afternoon ses-
sion aad the plank reported was unequivocally
in favor of unlimited suffrage. After the
secretary, Rev. Sam Small, had read the re-
port of the committee, Hon. j. M. Olin, of Wis
consin, read minority report, he alone disa-
greeing with the committee. He offered sub
stitute, in which the whole. question of woman
suffrage was relegated to the States.
The platform was voted upon by sections and
when this plank was reached the debate
opened. The report of the Committee on Rules
limited speeches to five minutes each. 1t

seems that an agreement had been made be-
tween Mr.. Mills, of Ohio, aud Prof Bascom,
formerly of Wisconsin, to take two hours
each in debate upon the suffrage
plank of the platform for and against its adop-
ton, respectively An amendment was offered
to permit this under the rules, and after sharp
debate, in which the convention was besought
not to apply the gag rule, but to give the neces-
sary time to full discussion of this important
plank, it was voted down by q tremendous ma
jority. Speakers were therefore limited to five
minutes, and a more able defense of woman
suffrage or stronger argument against incor-
porating it into party platform was never
presented
The strongest speeches in favor of
substituting the minority report were made by
Oliver and Richmond, of Wisconsin Mills of

SIA-SEH-ONG, presiding elder of the
Methodist church in China, was one of
the most picturesque figures in the re-
cent general conference in New York.
In an Oriental street garb he mani
tested deepintefest in the proceedings,
although they were in great part un-
intelligible to him, for he does not I'M
derstand English. His conversion to
Christianity was brought about by his

made in mission work prospered until

porting. largely through his efforts.

SCENES AT THE OPENING.

al convention began to gather in the early
hours of the morning. The trickling of human
ity which began to run into the big Exposition
building as early as 8 o'clock soon grew to
torrent which surged in and filled the
great nave of the hall to overf1owing, and
long before noon 10000 human faces
gazed upon the high desk reserved for the
presiding officer of the convention, as yet
empty, but with its cleaning white silver gavel

The noble proportions of the hall strike at
once with admiration. 1t is oblong in shape,
relieved on either side by balconies reaching
back 80 feet, above which, stretching entirely
around the auditorium, Is a broad overhang-
ing gallery. It has already been fully de-
scribed.
The visiting clubs with emblazoned banners,
come in late, but as each well-known
organization is recognized they are
greeted with cheers. The Tammany-
Hall braves are among the first to ap
pear, followed closely by the new
York County Democracy and a local ST. Louis
organization. The Randall Club, with it's gor
geous black and gold banner and led by
Squire William McMullin. the hero of seven
National conventions, marches in proudly, and
are generously applauded.
FIRST of the National Democratic figures to ap-
pear among the delegates is the tall form of the
senior Senator from Indiana. Daniel Voorhees,,

A CONFIDENCE operator who called
himself "Abbidigal," and said he was
the holy one appointed to lead them to
paradise, won many followers among
the negroes in Green County, Ga.
About the time he ran away with their
money they discovered that he was
far from being holy, and they caught
him, and, tying him to a tree, dashed
him until he was fatally injured.

opposition of the party to pro-

pressed the belief that an unequivocal state
