WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 Many Senators
and Representatives arrived yesterday
aud to-day, and from the appearance OF
the hotel corridors to night the presence
TO morrow Of a quorum IN each House
may be confidently relied upon TAe
general impression among members Is
that comparatively little legislation of an
important cha acter will be passed at this
session outside Of the appropriation bills.
Upon the tariff there Is diversity Of opin
ion It seems TO be settled that the Re
publloans Of the Senate will push the
tariff bill as rapidly as possible and
that an effort will be made to return
1t to the House prior to the usual time
for holiday adjournment. Mr Allison
is determined to call 1t up every day
after the morning hour, and, If his party
associates support him, will insist upon
maintaining 1t before the Senate until
disposed OF.
There is no doubt however that Mr..
Mills and the more radical tariff re 'orm
ers will resist the Senate substitute, and
Mr.. MI Is is so stubborn q man and so
determined q partisan, that he would not
hesitate to take every advantage furn-
ished by bis position as Chairman Of
Ways aud Means TO defeat the measure
by strangulatlon II 1t should become ap
parent that majority were disposed to
pass 1t after an opportunity to make rea
sonab|e amendments. That the Senate
will pass the substitute substantially in
its pretent form now seems reasonably
certain, Judging from the expressions OF
those in charge of the measure.
An Informal conference of Republican
Senators was held this evening, at which
it was agreed that the Tariff bill should
be pushed as rapidly as possib to com.
pletion. The passage of the bill, it was
thought, is required at this time to pre-
vent the necessity of calling an extra
session of the Fifty-hrst Congress by rea.

revenues

THOUSANDS IN LINE.
Such a Parade Was Never Before
Seen in An American City.

ST. LOUIS, June "a georgous pa
rade of fully 10000 uniformed Demo-
Gratis in procession was witnessed to-
night by people in such numbers they
could be estimated only by hundreds of
thousands. The procession started at
an early hour and was still moving at
1O:4O. Before the march began, Olive
street, the thoroughfare leading to the
convention hall, was jammed for over
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 the entire distance great
arches of flame lit up the scene, marked
the long vista, spectacle of surprising
brilliance. The street was only cleared
sufficiently for the procession by pound
ing a passage through the mob with
trains of cable cars. Wild enthusiasm
was evoked everywhere by the display
of Thurman bandanas among the
marchers. First in the line came the
grand marshal, Col. John L. Martin and
staff, followed by the First battalion of
the Missouri National guard and the
Marmaduke Guards of Kansas City. A
great host of local semi-military fra
ternal associations next appeared,
while the succeeding division contained
political marching organizations by the
score, including Tammany, the Hend-
ricks Association of st. Louis, the
Cleveland Club of Buffalo, Randall
Clubs of Pennsylvania, Duck
worth Club of Cincinnati, Cook
County Qll.) Democratic club, Iro-
quois club, of Chicago, and the Hawk
eye club, OF Burlington, 10. The next

FOOD FOR DISCUSSION.
New Workers Receive a Little Bit
of Gossip From Home,

ST.LoUIS. May 5.-The attention of the
New Workers was diverted somewhat
from the convention and its possibili-
ties by bit of news from home which
created considerable excitement and
discussion among them. District At
tOrney John r. Fellows received a dis
patch from New York to-day which
stated that Aid. COnkling, the nephew
of the late ex-senator, had visited the
district attorneys office and had brought
charges of bribery against Aid. Dow
ling. The telegram stated that he also
submitted evidence and the names of
witnesses, and demanded that the
charges be brought to the attention of
the grand jury for Indictment and pros
ecution.
Aid. Conkling charges bribery on Aid.
Bowling in connection with the grant
ing of the College Point ferry franchise,
concerning which there has been a large
amount of talk in metropolitan political
circles. The information was of addi-
tional interest owing to the fact that
Aid. Bowling is now in st. Louis at
tending the convention. He was seen
by reporter and was asked about the
report. Mr.. Bowling said he had been
notified by wire of the charges brought
by Mr.. COnkling. but he attached no i'm
portance to them. He said that Conk-
ling was his personal enemy and has
been charging him in the board with
bribery and corruption in order to ruin
him and make capital for himself, but
this time he declares he has gone too
far, and when he returns to New York
he will face the charges and prove his
innocence. The New Yorkels, how
ever, found plenty of food for warm

PATTERING AFTER IRELAND.
The Territories and District of
Columbia Express Preference
for Home Rule,

ST. LOUIS, June Sat meeting of
the delegates from the territories and
the District of Columbia held to-day, on
motion of Mr.. Dickson, of the District
of Columbia, the following resolution
was adopted for submission to the COM
mittee on resolutions:
Resolved, That we respectfully urge
on the committee on resolutions to in
corporate in the platform of principles
to be submitted to the national conven-
ton resolutions substantially as follows:
FirSt-That just and liberal policy
should be pursued in reference to the
territories; that the right of self-gov-
eminent is inherent in the people and
guaranteed under the constitution, and
that all federal officers appointed to
positions Of honor and trust in the ter
ritories of the United States and in
the District of Columbia should in all
cases be selected from the citizens of
the communities where they are to
serve.
SecOnd-That the territories of Wash
ington, Dakota, Montana and New Mex
leo are by virtue of population and de-
servement now entitled to admission
into the Union as states, and we I'M
qualiiedly condemn the course of the
Republican party in refusing statehood
and self-government to them; and we
further denounce the action of that
party in congress for libeling the people
to whom the United States have by sol
emn treaty guaranteed all the rights of
American citizenship, in order to fur
niSh an excuse for denying them aumiS-
sion into the Union.

IWHERE THEY STAND.
Sentiments of the Committee on
Resolutions.

Special to the Globe.
ST. LOUIS, June 5.-In order to clearly
understand the controversy which at
present exists in the committee on reso-
buttons, representative of the GLOBE
tonight canvasSed the members of the
committee, and the situation as ex-
Mr.. Watterson, his friends say,
of 1876, or something like it,
adopted; something that does not
read both ways; not free trade on one
Interpretation and protection pure and
simple on another Interpretation. He
wants something that the people can
understand and know what it means.
That is what he wants and what he is
going to fight for. Mr.. Germans
friends say that he wants plank
in the platform something like
the Chicago platform of 1884, in which
he can make the fight to carry New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut, and
abandon Indiana and nominate Thur
man, knowing that he will be strong in
liarly adapted to the indus
Watterson, it appears, thinks that
if the party go West with a square tariff
for-revenue plank they can get more
states West than they can East by the
other plan. He claims that the Demo
Gratis can get states in the West on his
idea. In explaining the difference be-
tween the plank of 1876, which he wants
revived, and that of 1884, the adoption
of which he opposes, MIR: Watterson
says the former is emphatic, straight
out tariff for revenue only, while the
latter is evasive, indefinite and unmean-
ing.

HUNDREDS HOMELESS.
Several Hundred Houses Burned
at Hull, Ont.

GU AAhii, oIts
OTTAWA, Ont, June 5.-This after
noon fire swept over Wards Nos. and
5 of the city of Hull, opposite Ottawa,
destroying between 800 and 400 houses
and rendering over $500 persons
homeless. The fire broke out
at about 3:45 in the city hall
situated in the center of the populous
portion of the city, and raging wind
served to spread the flames with re-
markable rapidity. The fire brigade
was on the spot almost Immediately, but
the fire appliances were miserably in
sufficient. The building was soon
a mass of flames, and the wind
hurled burning embers eastward
across the square into long block of
wooden houses, which took fire at once.
The fire then swept everything be-
fore it until it literally burned
itself out about half mile
from where it started. Tonight
hundreds of families are camped in the
open air without shelter OF any kind.
Prompt measures for their relief have
been taken and matters are likely to be
in good shape tomorrow. The loss is
hard to estimate. 1t may be $780,
600 and will possibly reach
100000. The insurance will not reach
one-fifth the amout of the loss. The
scene was one never to be forgotten.
All the dwellings were miserable
shanties OF cottages, principally occu-
pied by mill hands. The houses were
nearly as dry as finder and in almost
every instance the occupants barely es-
capped with their lives. The women, wild
with terror, rushed around searching
for their children, the binding smoke
tending to increase the confusion and
excitement. No lives are reported lost.
though many sick people were rescued
from terrible fate, but not a moment
too soon.

division contained great number of
similar organizations, particularly the
Kansas City Democratic club, 1000
strong, and the Topeka Flambeau club.
of Kansas. More marching clubs, each
with band of music, but nearly all
local st. Louis associations, formed the
bulk of the fifth division, while the
sixth contained what was one of the
features of the procession, a large force
of veteran, Union soldiers. When the
parade disbanded, after IL p. M. the
largest single organization in line, Tam
MANY Hall, headed by band,
marched to the Southern hotel, their
Headquarters, playing and singing the
"Red, White and Blue" with a Tam
many Hall accompaniment. Instantly
the beautiful air was caught up by the
crowds outside and in the hotel, and in
five minutes everybody in the great
hotel from cellar to garnet and thou
sands stretching away for blocks up
Fourth, Broadway and Walnut streets,
took up the song, and swelled the
chorus to wonderful volume, which
rang far and wide with rousing hip,
hurrah!" ending to every verse. In the
midst of the excitement somebody
raised large national flag in the South
ern rotunda. Instantly the crowd went
wild, and 'Old glory" received suchda
reception as only crowd of Democrats
could give. The air was full of red
bandanas and white hats, and it was
nearly midnight before the excitement
Gained down and the singers ceased. A
magnificent display by the st. Louis
ire department wound up the parade.

SCRAMBLlNG FOR SEATS.
An Iowa Delegate Who Wanted
All Uniformed Clubs Given the
Freedom of Convention Hall.

ST. LOUIS, June 5.-The roll call be-
ing concluded, Mr.. Pussy, of Iowa, said:
81 am instructed by my delegation to
offer the following resolution and ask
for its adoption
Chairman White-Send up the reso-
luton, if you please.
At this point a delegate arose and
made frantic efforts to be heard. The
chair several times requested him to
give his name, but he refused. Whether
owing to the fact that he did not hear
the chairman's request for his name, or
was disposed to not give it, was not ap-
parent. Finally the chairman made
himself heard by the delegate, and
again asked for the name. When the
delegate said McGinnis, of Montana,
everybody laughed. When the laughter
had subsidized, Mr.. McGinnis said: ''Mr.
Speaker, on behalf of the association of
territorial delegates | am requested to
offer the following resolution"

declared adjourned until 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning.
WATTERsON THE WINNER.

Reform Made Chairman of the
Committee on Resolutions,

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 5.-The commit
tee on resolutions met in secret session
at o'clock this afternoon in the parlors
of the National Democratic committee
at the Southern hotel. The committee
was called to order by Hon. Edward
Cooper, of New York. The names of
Henry Nj. Watterson, of Kentucky,
and Senator A. P. German, of Mary
land, were put in nomination for the
Craftsmanship, and the result was the
election of the former upon the first
ballot by vote of % to 20, four men,
berS not voting. At the suggestion of
Senator German, Mr.. WatterSOn's NOM
lnation was made unanimous, and, upon
taking the chair, the latter remarked
pleasantly that had the committee
known how nearly in harmony were the
two candidates, the election would
probably not have been deemed neces-
sary. The following was the vote by
states and territories:
Observation-Disclosures, Colorado, Della
ware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts,, Mich
igan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jer-
sey, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Caro-
lima, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin, New

necticut, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine,
Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire,
New York. North Carolina, Ohio, Penn
sylyania, Vermont. Virginia, West Vir-
ginia, Arizona, District of Columbia,
Wyoming, Idaho-2O.
The committeeman from Florida, Ne
vada, Montana and Washington terri
tory were not present, or refrained
from voting.
On motion of Mr.. German, a subcom-
mittee of nine was appointed to draft
resolutions and report to the full COM
mittee at its meeting tomorrow morn
ing; the following states to be repre-
sented: Connecticut, New York, New
Jersey, Kentucky, Michigan, Oregon,
Maryland and Mississippi. AT Mr..
WatterSon's suggestion. this was subse-
quently enlarged to eleven, by addition
of representatives from Colorado and
Louisiana. The session was brief and
harmonious throughout. Without trans
acting further business, or discussing
any matters of general interest. the
committee adjourned to 9 o'clock to-
morrow morning.
AS the doors we're opened many prom.
inent gentlemen, who had been anX-
iously awaiting results, thrOnged about
Mr.. Watterson and offered hearty con-

Gen. Collins Chosen for Perma-
nent Charm an---H. III. Ingersoll
for Secretary.
ST. LOUIS, June Sat this evenings
meeting of the committee on organiZa-
ton, Gen. Patrick Collins was nomina-
ted for permanent chairman of the
convention by DIR. Hanrahan, of Yer
mont. Mr.. Castleman, of Kentucky,

soil was selected without opposition as
the committees choice for permanent
secretary of the convention. Mr.. Prince,
temporary secretary and all his assistants
were retained for the permanent organ
iZation as Mr.. Ingersoll's helpers. After
considerable discussion of rules to gov
ern the convention, the suggestion made
to-day in the convention by Gov. Green,
of New Jersey, was acquiesced in. This
was to adopt the rules of the last ma
tional Democratic convention with the
significant addition that during the roll

allowed to change its vote until the
other states have voted. The committee
will hold another meeting tomorrow

HAS GAINED A LITTLE.
Gen. Sheridan's Condition Is Now
Improving.

Neh. Snerluan'S Condition Is NOW
Improving.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-This has been
favorable day for Gen. Sheridan. He
has rested quietly and has apparently
gained little in strength. The family
feel quite cheerful tonight. DR.. O'Reilly
went home to secure some sleep after
the s o'clock bulletin was issued,
stating that he did not think he
would be needed Immediately. At no
time has the general himself given up
hope OF recovery, and to-day his mind
has been clear and he has taken con-
siderable interest in things generally.
He insisted upon knowing the news
from the st. Louis convention, and dis
patches from there were read to him
from time to time. While there has GER
talnly been an improvement in his
condition to-day, it must be borne
in mind that this is largely
comparative and does not mean that he
is better than before yesterdays attack.
Each attack leaves the general some
what weaker and it is this fact which
causes such grave apprehensions
among his friends. The generals face,
which was very full, is somewhat
thinner, and he has also fallen off
about the body. No one is allowed to
see him except the family and physi-
clans.
At midnight Gen. Sheridan's condi-
ton had not changed materially since
the last reports. His respiration con-
tinues regular and his pulse is good in
quality, ranking from los to Jos to the
minute. His sleep during the entire
evening had been restful, and he only
awakened at regular intervals when re-
Quired to take his nOuriShment.

QUIT WORK FOR THE DAY.
The Delegates Evidently Wanted
to Attend the Races.

ST. LOUIS, June When the extend
ed debate on the question of whether or
not visiting Democratic clubs should be
given the freedom of the hall during re-
cess was brought to close, the fol-
lowing resolution, offered by Roswell
P. Flower, of Tammany hall, was read
by the secretary:
Resolved, That when this convention
adjourns it adjourn until tomorrow at
noon.
Gov. Albeit, of New Jersey-I move
to amend by making it 10 O'clock to-
morrow. want to see the Democratic
ticket nominated tomorrow, and not
the third day of this convention.
Mr.. Flower accept the amendment.
The Chairman-The question is unon
the adoption of the resolution that when
this convention takes recess it will be
until tomorrow at 10 a. m.
Mr.. Hanna, of Massachusetts. moved
to amend by making the hour IL O'Clock.
[Cries of No! Mol
The Chairman-The question then is
upon the adoption of the resolution that
when we adjourn we adjourn until the
the hour of 10 o'clock a. IN. tomorrow.
The resolution was unanimously car
ried.
Ihe nalrman-Ihere is change in
the membership of the committee on
permanent organization for New Mex
leo. In place of w. B. Childers is sub
stituted Rafael Romero.
Mr.. Parkhurst, of Michigan. moved to
adjourn, as did Mr.. Flower, of New
York, and at this suggestion many of
the members began to leave.
The Chairman-The committee will
arrange so that clubs may visit this
hall.
Chairman White put the question on
the adjournment until tomorrow and
until 10 o'clock, and about nine-tenths
of the convention responded in the af-
firmative. The tenth came up equally

but nevertheless l will go to the con-
and when the state is called l will vote
against Thurman"
This determination caused confusion,
and there were dire threats made, but
to no purpose. Finally resolution was
adopted releasing Mr.. Brady from the
binding unit rule, and he will act indie
pendently. In conversation he was
more cautious, but still the strong oppo-
sition showed itself in his remarks: II
will do my fighting in the convention,
but when cannot win there 1 will go
home, as have done many times be-
fore, and during the campaign will
work and fight just as hard for Democ-
racy as ever before" Brady is one of
the staunchest adherents of the Payne
faction,
