the Chinese Question.
CHICAGO, June s2.--At conference
OF representatives Of sherman, Alger.
Harrison, Blaine and Allison delegates,
which took place to-day between II
and 4 O'Clock, VI. II. DE Young. repre-
senting the Blaine Interest. made a
statement that II Harrison was nomi-
mated il would be utterly impossible 10
elect him. He could not possibly car
~ the Pacific Coast. nor would he be
able TO carry any OF the larger states
where the labor element preSlominafed.
because he voted against the Chinese
bin and treaty and every phase of it,.
and he had committed still greater
mistake by voting TO naturalixe China
men and give them the right of snf-
fragc. and that Allison was exactly in
the ssme boat.
The statement made by he Young
created gres; CONSERVATION Colonel
Harrison representing the Allison
movement, made statement that he
thought De Young mistaken about Al
lison's record. De Young said he had
the records and would produce them
tomorrow at the next meeting of the
conference.
The effect OF De foung's statement
caused representative OF the New
York delegation to make the state
ment tha. he did not think his delega-
ton would support Harrison ii these
facts we're brought before them. and
he asked De Young ii he would appear
before the New York delegation to-
day and make a statement.
The Indiana supporters of Harrison
this morning caiied upon the caiifor-
MIA delegation and stated that they
Epuid not attempt to force the nomi-
nation OF Harrison until after recess
to-day. and until this matter can be
explained away.

out by the fact that when Connecticut

CHrcAso. June 23.-The convention
met this morning with the usual ru-
mors OF combinations flying through
the air n thick IS blackbiris. Colonel
Robert g. Ingersoll does not appear in
the hall, but his name Is on many lips
and his interrupted speech OF last
night appears 10 have irreparably dam
aged Gresham's boom. although that
candidates friends refuse to admit
this, and still claim that the conven-
ton must come TO him eventually
bat as the time for meeting arrives the
Gresham movement is almost lost
sight OF in the conflict OF opinion as
To the great fight pending at once be-
tween Harrison and Allison.
Senator Cameron has prevailed upon
Quay, who leads the Pennsylvania
forces, to go into the Allison conbina-
tion. Ii QUAY cannot succeed with
the Allison movement he may run i'm
with the Harrison movement, but is
more likely to join ia a combination
Of the field against the Indiana candi-
date. Friends of Harrison are claim
ing that the Blaine people are coming
over TO their man; that he viii suc-
ceed after three ballots.
In the face OF all this many eyes are
turned towards Mckinley. o. Ohio,
as an exceedingly promising dark
horse.
Most Of the leaders are still t9:if, n.
m. absent, indicating that comhina-
tions are not all fixed up yet. As the
minutes pass the belief grows stronger
that no result will be possible at this
mornings session, and that after sew
eral ballots the convention will take
recess. Ii this is done, it is considered
highly probable that 40 nomination
can be made before Monday.
OPENING OF THE SESSION.
The convention was called To order
at 10 :n5. but it was not until twenty
minutes later that the proceedings
were actually opened, by Chairman

Allen Eaton. the p1an who killed a

bit the outside world will think that
every nan who composed that Jury
should hereafter be barred from serv-
ing the State in that capaclty.-Tele-
graph.
The fault is more in the criminal
law than in the jury in case like the
one referred to, tor the case was
waning in the e51cntials Of the detii-
milton OF lnnrler. There could be no
malice afore thought, no motive and
really 10 excGse or cause, ,all OF which,
under thu criminal practice OF this
S.ate is essential to make a case. The
less the cause, the less magnitude of
tie crime, and the attorneys for the
defence in most murder cases make
tns plea, that is, If the cause Of the
killing is less than that claimed, that
accused should be interdicted instead
of prosecuted. In the case above
named we think Mr.. Eaton should
either be interdicted or hung but un-
der our practice he could not be hung
by law.
