WASHINGTON, June 12.-In the senate
Mr.. Chandler offered resolution referring
the credentials of Senator Gibson of Louis
lana for his new term to the committee on
privileges and elections and instructing
that committee to inquire into all the facts
of the senatorial election. Also to ascertain
and report whether or not at such state
election there was any violence, intimiGla-
tion or fraud that prevented fair election,
and whether false returns were made and
counted. The resolution was laid over till
tomorrow.
The resolution offered yesterday by Mr..
Stewart, calling on the secretary of the
treasury for statement of offers and pur-
chases of bonds since April, 1888, with
names, etc., was taken up and discussed.
The resolution went over without action
till tomorrow.
The appropriation bill for the depart
ment of agriculture was reported from the
committee on appropriations and placed on
the calendar.
On motion of Mr.. Cullom the bill to
amend the interstate commerce law was
taken up, and Mr.. Cullom proceeded to
address the senate in advocacy of it.
A message from the president was pre-
sented returning without approval pen
sion bill on the ground that the beneficiary
had received no injury in the army. Re-
ferred to the committee on pensions. Also
another message returning without ap-
pr0val a bill relieving a government con-
fro otnr fnr how nf indohta1noco nf @1O A01
incurred by non-fulflment Of contract. Re-
ferred to committee on military affairs.

sideration of the fortifcation appropriation

Another Pest for Minnesota.

ST. PAUL, June 1S.-This afternoon
pedestrians and those riding in carriages
noted large numbers of chintz bugs in the
air so thick in some places that the nose,
eyes and mouth were liable to be treated to
a dose Of them. The present crop is too
far along to be injured by these full grown
bugs, or rather the bugs are now too lazy
to do much damage to the crop, but it is
believed that these may lay eggs perhaps
in time for them to hatch out, in which
time the pestiferous young ones may do
great damage yet.

THE CONVENTION HAIL.
1t Presents q Magnificent spectacle-The
First Illumination.

First Illumination.
CHICAGO, June 12.-To-night the 5000
electric lights in the great hall of the re-
publican convention was turned on for the
first time. The lighting up of the audi
itorium afforded magnificent spectacle,
the effet of the lights being seemingly to
enlarge the already vast interior and be-
wilder spectators. Great wheels of fire
shown on the side walls, a gorgeous tri-
colored shield of lights surmounted the
stage, while the roof was ablaze with
stars made up of clustered burners.
Scarcely one hundred people were within
the mammouth amphitheater ITO witness
this illumination. From the galleries they
seemed like so many pigmies. One and
all preserved an awe-struck silence. The
showing up OF the initial proceedings Of
the convention itself was accomplished in
different ways. 1t was largely brought
about by the arrival of leading members
the republican national committee. Gen.
OF Indiana, and Cyrus Leland, Jr., of
Kansas are the latest arrivals. Among
others present were ClarksOn of Iowa and
Conger of Ohio. The point made clear is
probable selections for presiding officers OF
the convention. Who would be chosen for
temporary chairman and who for perma-
nent has up to this evening been mys-
terry. 1t is now pretty certain apparently
that one of the officers will be Senator
Warner Miller Of New York, the other
John NJ. ThurstOD, who heads the delega-
ton from Nebraska. Should Miller be
chosen for temporary chairman, Thurston
will be made permanent, and vice versa.
There is some more mention of Senator
Hoar of Massachusetts for one of the two
places, but the talk appears to lack definite
ness. Both Thurston and Miller are de-
scribed as men of fine presence and big
voice and able parlimentarians.

Burleich for Governor Of Maine.

PORTLAND, June 12.-The republican
state convention to-day was the largest
and most enthusiastic held for years. Hon.
Andrew P. Wiswell was elected temporary
chairman and was outspoken in advocacy
of Blaine as a candidate. Allusions in
ceived with applause repeated again and
again. The temporary organization was
made permanent and Hon. j. w. Simonds
of Portland in an eloquent speech pre-
sented the name of Henry B. Cleaves. f.
D. Powers presented the name OF Burleigh.
Burleigh was nominated for governor on
the first ballot.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June, 49,
The Philadelphia Press to-day says:
..The movement to present Mayor Edwin
d. Fitler as the pennsylvania candidate
for the republican presidential nomina-
ton yesterday assumed most significant
character. It took such shape as to Justify
the expectation that he will receive the
support Of a majority of the delegation"

The House.

In the house Mr.. Taulbee of Kentucky
called up as the regular order of business
the resolution reported yesterday from the
committee on postoffices, calling on the
postmaster general for a tabulated state
ment Of disallowed postmasters' claims
presented from the state of Kentucky under
the act of March 8, 1883. The report on
the resolution is an adverse one. The
minority of the committee, however, flied
a report in favor of the resolution with
recommendation that the words "from the
state of kentucky be stricken out ana the
resolution be made general. After debate
which consumed two hours and half the
majority report was agreed to and the
resolution was laid upon the table.
In the contested election cases from the
Ninth district of Missouri and the Sixth
district of California Glover and Van
Dieven, the sitting members, had their
titles confirmed.
The house then went into committee of
the whole on the tariff bill. Mr.. Bynum of
Indiana moved to strike from the free list
flax, hacked, known as dressed lene.
Agreed to. Mr.. Kelly Of Pennsylvania
moved to strike from the free list hemp,
MANILA and other like substitutes for hemp.
Lost-54 to 76. Mr. Kelly Of Pennsylvania
moved to strike from the free list jute butts.
The republicans refrained from voting
and left the committee without quorum.
A call of the committee was ordered and
2O9 members responded. During the
progress of the count Mr.. Breckenridge of
Arkansas made a remark rejecting upon
the action of the representatives in filibust-
ering, which called forth an indignant
reply from Mr.. Kelly. Mr.. Breckenridge
inquired whether the gentleman from PEN
sylvania Kelly was willing that it should
90 out to the country that the representa-
tives were filibustering against the bill.
Mr.. Kelly expressed his Willingness that
the country should know that he was
resisting an attempted tyranny. The vote
then proceeded, butno quorum voted and
another roll call was ordered. Mr.. Kelly
finally Withdrew his formal amendment
and his motion to strike out jute butts
from the free list was defeated. The com.
mittee then rose and the house adjourned

The House.

Mr.. Bayne of Pennsylvania asked unan-
imous consent for the present considera-
ton of joint resolution granting to all
persons employed in public service who
were present at the battle at Gettysburg,
either in the union or confederate army,
leave Of absence to attend the reunion to
be held at Gettysburg in July next. The
call for regular order, made by MI. Brecken-
ridge Of Arkansas, operated as an objection.
The house then went into committee of
the whole on the the tariff bill. Mr.. War
ner of Missouri moved to strike from the
free list burlaps, not exceeding sixty
inches in width, of fax, jute or hemp.
Lost. Mr.. Mcmillan moved to place upon
the free list bags of jute for grain. A long
political discussion followed. Mr.. Biggs
and Mr.. Thompson earnestly supported
the motion contending that the placing Of
jute bags on the free list would not inter-
fere with the manufacture of cotton bag
ging. Mr.. McKenna of California an
nounced himself as a believer in the doc
trine of protection. The motion was agreed
to. Reaching the clause putting on the
free list machinery for the manufacture OF
cotton bagging, Mr.. Lind of Minnesota
offered an amendment including machinery
for making twine of hemp or jute butts.
This was rejected, as well as the motion to
strike out the paragraph. The next par
agraph referred to tin plate. Mr..
Dalzell of Pennsylvania moved to strike
it out he spoke in favor of the motion.
Mr.McMillan of Tennessee said the gentle
man had confessed a fatal weakness by
admitting that not pound Of tin plate
was made in this country. Everybody
used tin plate, yet we were asked to keep
up the duty in the effort to force somebody
to make il, Mr.. Randall Of Pennsylvania
said the real question was, could we
produce the plate as prodtably in this
countryp We could, and he had seen it
done. We took three ships Of the British
produce and he Randall was opposed to
favoring . foreign country at the expense

on foreign relations reported concurrent
resolution requesting the president from
time to time, as fit occasion may arise, to
open negotiations with any government
with which the United States may have dip
lomatic relations to the end that any differ
ences between the two governments which
cannot be adjusted by diplomatic agencies
may be referred to arbitration and may be
peacefully adjusted by such means.
Placed on the calendar.
Mr.. Hale called up Mr.. Morgan's resolu-
ton as to the fishery treaty and proceeded
to address the senate on the subject. At
the conclusion of Mr.. Hale's speech the
discussion was postponed till Monday, the
25th.
The district appropriation bill was taken
up and the clause providing for the burial
of telegraph and telephone wires was
stricken out, after which the bill passed.
Mr.. Stewards bond purchase resolution
was then taken up, the question being on
MI. Cockrells amendment to add after the
word sname" the words "other than pri-
vate parties" A motion to refer to the
committee on finance was rejected. The
discussion then took political turn, Mr..
Salisbury lauding the administration for
its honesty and purity and Mr.. Fuller
claiming that the republican senators had
never attacked the administration but
treated it with courtesy and respect, but
its financial policy would not stand the
test Of cannon sense and craftsmanship.
The resolution was then adopted without
modification and without division.
Mr.. Blair moved to take up the senate
bill for the adjustment Of accounts of Ia
borers and workmen and mechanics, aris-
ing under the eight-hour law. A vote by
yeas and nays resulted-yeas 2l, nays IL.
The negative votes were all given by DEM
ocrats and the affirmative by republicans,
the latter being Joined, however, by Sena-
tors Call and Turpie. AS there was no
quorum voting the roll was called and
forty-f0ur senators answered. A motion
to proceed to executive business was made
by Mr.. Butler and defeated-yea IA, nays
Is. There was another roll call showing
the presence Of a quorum, seven senators,
however, being paired, but another vote on
the motion to go into executive business
also failed, and then, weary of useless
voting, the senate adjourned.
