THEY LOVED Al FIRST SIGHT.
The Romance Of the COurtship of John A.
Chandler and Amelia RiveS.

NEW YORK, June THE report that
John Armstrong Chandler, a great-grand-
son of the elder John Jacob Aster is to
marry Miss Amelia Rives, the gifted
young authoress of Virginia, caused rip
pie of comment among the friends of the
former today Although the fashionable
circles in which Miss Rives moves in Rich
mond has been discussing the reported
engagement several days, the news
did not reach here until this morning, and
was complete surprise to the club friends
of Mr.. Chandler. At the Racquet club,
and among the alumni of Columbia col
lege particularly the reported marriage
caused considerable talk. No one seemed
to know when the engagement took place
because, while Mr. Chandler is genial he
is not communicative about his private
affairs, even to his most intimate friends.
He spends most Of his time in Paris. 1t is
supposed that he met Miss Rives two years
ago at the residence OF her uncle, who
resides here. Subsequently he met
the charming authoress at New
port, and there, it is said, he wooed and
won her. The courtship was quite rO-
mantle iii some respects, the couple fall
ing in love with each other at sight. 1t is
whispered she en]olned secrecy, and for
two years the engagement has been kept
from lne lT.eLuS Oh DOlu, buouSH not the
immediate relates, who, it Is said, sane
toned the matter. After the season closed
at Newport Miss Rives returned to her
home Castle HILL near Charlottesville
and betook herself to literature. During
their engagement Miss Riyes has been
industrious and several new novels have
appeared, adding TO her name. Sew
eral weeks ago young Chandler went
to Castle Hill, and is there now making
arrangements for the wedding, which
viii take place in October.
Mr.. Chandler is the eldest of eleven
children and has reached the age of y
years. His mother was a Miss Ward,
granddaughter Of William the father of
John Jacob and William b. Aston When
her father died the present John Jacob
Aston became her guardian and from his
house she was married TO Mr.. Chandler,
who died some eight or ten years ago
Young Chandler grew up and attended
Columbia college, where be was popular.
He had mansion at Rhinebeck on the
Hudson, which was bequeathed TO him by
the late William B. Aston.

the United States, from Indiana. Cheers
and applause.) While great wars take
place in other countries, and empires and
dynasties are overthrown rre-established
so in Indiana, questions of mightier import
are determined for the whole country by
her attitude, either of victory or defeat at
presidential elections. Who will enquire
how goes the battle in any other but
one or two northern states except in
Indiana: You gentlemen in the south
with everything in peril will not ask ''how
goes Illinois on our west" For you know
how she will go. You will not ask chow
goes the battle in Ohio:' 1t is already
predetermined what the result will BE-
there; nor viii you ask how the battle

FIFTIETH CONGRESS.
SENATE.


WASHINGTON, June I'm the senate
Mr. Morgan asked leave to offer pream-
BILE and resolutions setting forth that the
report of the committee on foreign rela-
tons on the fisheries treaty questioned its
legality and declaring it valid and lawful.
Mr.. Vance moved to refer it the COM
mittee on foreign relations. Mr.. Sherman
objected to this introduction. Mr. Nor
gan demanded the right to speak on the
motion to refer, the chair decided that he
could not be permitted to speak until
unanimous concent for the introduction
of the resolutions had been given. Mr..
Cameron-I move to proceed to executive
business.
Mr.. Morgan-I do not yield the floor for
shat purpose. This important treaty has
been made a mere political football of q
great party for advancing its interests,
and Of a certain gentleman in the national
convention TO be held IN Chicago. Despite
the ruling of the chair against him, MIR.
Morgan maintained his ground and read
the address delivered by him on the sub
ject in executive session. One of the SEN
fences of the speech was: "The senate may
make war necessary, as | am very much
afraid we are doing here today" The
action of the Republican senator, he said,
was doubtless with q view to securing the
antagonism of the Irish voters to the pres
dent because of his alleged subservency to
British influences That charge ranked
with injustice. Congress, he said, had
given the president the power which all
presidents had possessed since 1870 to
wage paper war on British commerce.
If the president had pushed it to the point
If real war; the country would have cried
Tor his impeachment, but having failed to
do so he was charged in a report of the
majority of the committee on foreign rela-
tions with usurpation and abuse of the
constitutional power. The resolutions
went over without action. Adjourned till
Monday.

GRESHAM SENTIMENT IN IOWA.

CEDAR RAPIDS, To-. Jnne THE Even
ing Gazette of this city has been support
ing Gresham for the nomination very
heartily ever since Lincoln avowed that he
was not candidate for the presidency.
1t has all along claimed that there was
really no general feeling in
the state for Allison, but that
a large majority of Republicans were for
Gresham. \ large number of Republicans
have been interviewed of late and the re-
suit is remarkable. Out of nearly fifty
prominent members of the party inter-
viewed today, including bankers, manufac
turers, jobbers. retailers, and, IN fact, all
classes, ali but three Were very de-
cided in expressing their preference for
Judge Gresham. Out of the three, two
were for Allison and one for Depew The
Blaine men seem TO be going over to GreSh-
am in 4 body. The undercurrent is exceed
inglv strong for Gresham and the talk of
the Republicans is strong in that direction.
Every class of people look upon Gresham as
not only being a strong man but the best
man. Everybody has confidence in him,
and the old soldiers are especially de-
lighted with the idea that he may be the
standard-bearer. During the last two
or three days votes have been taken on
the street cars, railway trains, at the
hotels and among the neerly 1000 Masonic
Grand Lodge delegates here, and
fully four-ifths of the Republicans are
for Gresham. Business men have been
interviewed in various cities and towns in
this part of the state, and the sentiment
for Gresham predominates. His nomina-
ton is confidently looked for. The enthu-
siasm for him is daily increasing. Several
of the Iowa delegates are at heart for
Gresham without any question, but will
vote and work for Allison out of state
pride for short time

THE ELECTION IN OREGON.

PORTLAND, Ore, June 1.-THE returns
are not all in yet. Several small COMMITTEES
had not been heard from at all, and from
others only partial returns have been
received. However, sufficient returns
have come in to make the election of Sher-
man, the Republican candidate for con-
gress, certain by majority of from 800
to 5000. w. p. Lord, Republican candi-
date for the supreme court, has been
elected by at least 4,00G majority. In all
parts of the state there are large Republi-
can gains. This is particularly the case
in counties in the eastern part of the
state, which is a great sheep and wool
producing district. Democrats and Re
publicans both concede this fact is largely
due to Cleveland's free trade policy.
A number of counties heretofore close,
and giving generally a small Democratic
majority, now come in with the reverse
majority. There have been during the past
two years very large accessiOns to the pop
ulation of the state, mostly from northern
and western states. A comparison of the
vote shows large increase over the pre-
ceeding elections. The gain in Portland
alone has been nearly 1000. Both parties
were greatly surprised over the result.
Democrats are much depressed and Repub-
licans greatly elated.
it is conceded that the victory yesterday
had much to do in determining the result
of the presidential election in Oregon.
The legislature will be very largely Re
publican The Republicans will have SIX
ty-five and the Democrats twenty-five.
Every Republican candidate for state sena-
tor in the United States has been elected.
A Republican United States senator is as
sured beyond question to succeed Dolph.
The Democrats seemed to lack organiza-
ton and harmony.
made great efforts to carry the state in
view of the November election, but if this
is true it proved most abortive attempt.
The Republicans entered into the fight
with complete harmony and a perfectly
equipped organization. The free trade
policy lost Eastern Oregon to the Demo

LAUGH TO-DAY

COLUMBUS, o., June THE adjourn
ment of the st. Louis convention over an
other day without making a nomination
for president caused great disappoint-
mant here. The Thurman club had taken
charge of arrangements for a parade last
evening in which all organizations in the
city were TO participate after proceeding

serenade speech. Other prominent Demo-
Gratis Were to speak. Also the presidents
of the board of trade and city council who
are Republicans. The announcement is
made in the local papers that the reception
demonstrations are postponed until
Thursday evening. There were many
visitors at Thurman's residence yesterday.

to Beckenridge's amendment provise at
tached to lumber schedules of the free list
which proposes to admit Canadian fish
free of duty upon the allowance by that
country of commercial rights to our YES

change. Atone time politics got the up

bill by the convention was read, to all ap-
pearances the Republicans took as much
comfort as the Democrats in the announce

nouncement of Thurman's nomination a
scene of wild confusion followed. Nearly
all the members and every Democrat were
on their feet shouting and cheering, and
bandanas appeared in every hand and por-
traits of Thurman were displayed.

of Kentucky, to Watterson saying that the

As Daniels concluded he waved large

The convention then proceeded to a vote
and the names of the states were called.
When vote was announced from Ohio for

conSin was announced it was evident that
Humans nomination was assured and
the convention was thrown into fever of
excitement and enthusiasm when the In
diana delegation took down the gray hat
which had been held aloft all day on ban
ner pole and flung red bandana to the
breeze.
This was signal for repetition of the
scene of yesterday when Cleveland was
nominated The Indiana banner with it's
f1uttering red bandana was caught up by
two excited delegates and borne to the
stage where it was waved frantically. Dur
ing the continuation of the demonstration
some one tied red bandana about the
neck of the bust of Cleveland in the rear of
the stage and the cheers of the convention,
which was now wild with enthusiasm, were
redoubled.

hall and tossed it in the air. The bird fiut-
tered to the floor. but not before it had
caught the eye of the convention and the
hall became a pandemonium. The delega-
ton banners, all decorated with red ban
dannas, were borne from state to state and
about the hall in a frantic manner, and
thousands of red bandannas waved all
over the hall. The demonstration lasted
ten minutes
After something like order had been re-
stored, the calling of the states was pro-
ceeded with, but before it was completed
Mr. Patterson, of California, moved that
Thurman's nomination be made unanim-
Gus and the motion was seconded by Mr..
Shankton, of Indiana, in an earnest speech
He would not add, he said one drop to the
flow of perspiration by attempting to start
another flow of eloquence. He rose for
the purpose of withdrawing the name of
Isaac Gray and seconding the motion to
make the nomination of Allen G. Thur
man unanimous. The delegates from In
diana had come into the convention in
good faith and they bowed to the decision
of the party. He promised the convention
that as the delegates had been for Gray
yesterday and this morning, they were
now, and from this time forward, apostles
of Thurman.
The motion was agreed to and the nomi-
nation was made unanimous. Loud cheers
greeted the announcement and the enthuS-
iasm witnessed short time previous was
renewed. Then, at 2:l0 D. M, an adjourn
