SAN Francisco, May 15.-The steam
ship A6yssinia, from Hong Kong, via
Vancouver, the second Of the Canadian
Pacific Company's line to arrive at this
port, was allowed to dock this morning
by the quarantine officers, no trace Of
smallpox being found on board. Her ar
rival here was followed by cut in cabin
rates to Yokohama, the new rate being
made $3.50 by the Canadian company,
and it is said the company intend
to force the Pacific Mail and
Occidental and Oriental companies
to divide the China trade
with them by having their steamers
touch at this point on the homeward
voyage before proceeding to Vancouver,
thus landing freight and passengers here
in less time than at present made by the
other companies. In pursuance of this
plan it is stated that the company has
chartered the steamship q I'M besi, which
is now on her way from Hong Kong. 1t
is understood that the Pacific Mail and
Occidental and Oriental viii refuse to
form pool, and will meet the cut by a
further reduction in rates.

New Work Republican Convention.
BUFFALO, May 15.-The State Commit
tee will meet tonight and fix upon tenn
porary organization for the Republican
Convention tomorrow. There is said to
be disposition to make Warner Miller
temporary chairman. Ex-senator Nit
chell iavors asolidification of the National
delegation for Depew. He wants Depew
to be the candidate of the delegation
until he is nominated or until it is
clear that the Western States will not
have him, and then he (Depew) would
arise and turn the delegation over
solid for Blaine. There is developed
among Blaine's whilom and even his
present adherents an impatient petu-
lance at what is termed the '.burrowing'
tactics by which many delegates feel that
they are being kept in the dark or being
misled as to whether he is actually a
candidate.
The statement was made on what
seemed good authority to-day that Depew
will not attend the Convention. General
Hustled and many others oppose any for
NAL declarations or committals of the
party at this convention.
Thomas O. Platt says he sees no ques-
ton on which the Convention could he
divided. He believes no effort will be
made to pledge the delegation for any
man.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May l3.-The Re-

at noon. A colored man named Stevens
was temporary chairman and made q
lengthy speech, urging the nomination
Of full ticket, denounced the Federal
office-holders in Alabama during the
terms Of Hayes. Garfield and Arthur as
political rascals acting with the Demo
Gratis in the Senate so as to keep the
negro out of political benefits. The con-
vention is composed Of 300 delegates,
one-fifth white, the rest colored. There
is an active contest for delegates-at-large
to the Chicago Convention between the
Blaine and Sherman adherents.
The Convention was q scene of wild
disorder all day over the attempt to seat
the temporary chairman in place OF Stew
ems. Finally Stevens vacated the chair in
favor of Arthur Bingham, Chairman Of
the Executive Committee. The Sherman
men assert that trick has been played
upon them.
The committee on credentials report
was adopted that the temporary organ
izatioH be made permanent, and the
Convention adjourned until tomorrow
morning. Th Convention is in full pos
session of the friends OF Sherman.

Of the Equal Rights Party met in this
city this afternoon, and was called to Or
der by Mrs. Nettie Sanford ChapiD, OF

does.
In conclusion he said that the issue had
been fairly up between the two parties.
Let there be no juggling; let the resolu-
tions in the National platforms SO fairly
present the issue that they would attest
that they were drawn by patriotic states
men and not by temporizing, huckster-
ing politicians.
Buckalew, of Pennsylvania, supporte
the bill. Henderson, Of Illinois opposed
it.
Stone, OF Kentucky, favored the meas
ure. The North, he said, still wanted
protection, but held that the writing was
on the wall and the protection idea was
bound to pass out OF the list OF American
ideas quietly and peacefully by the efforts
Of the people.
Grant, of Vermont, compared the farm
ing interests OF Vermont and Kentucky,
quo ing statistics to show that the East
ern State was far in advance of her
Western rival the only things that Ken
tucky had more of than Vermont were
illiterates, saloons, mules and asses.
Seymour, of Michigan, spoke in sup
port of the system Of protection, behind
that Egis which the small industries Of
the country had been built up and be-
came strong and prosperous.
The Committee then rose. The House
took recess until o'clock, the evening
session to be for a continuation of the
debate on the Tariff bill.

mounted one of the most intense and
prolonged commercial and maritime cri.
ses recorded in long time.
The second ballot for municipal coun-
cillors resulted in favor OF the Repuli-
cans.
In the Chamber to-day the debate on
the bill imposing duties on Indian corn
was contradictory to an extraordinary
decree. The first principle Of levying a
duty was approved, then the Chamber
agreed to exempt from duty all kinds Of
maize, and finally the bill was rejected in
entirety. Maurice said these proceed
ings proved the importance of the
Chamber and afforded fresh argument
in favor OF the necessity OF dissolution.
