COLUMBUS, o., June THE proceed

ton of yesterday were conveyed to Judge
Thurman about 3 o'clock. He had re-
ceiyed no private advices from there, and
his first information was. furnished BY a
reporter. He was gratiied by the en-
thusiasm manifested by the delegates
upon the denomination of President
Cleveland, and remarked that it was an
Indication of the great regard and esteem
the party had for the president. He
thought the adjournment was caused by
the delay of the committee on resolutions
in making its report, and that il was
necessary to give the committee proper
time to agree upon a satisfactory plat
form. When questioned about his nom
nation he refused to express himself.
Many Of Senator Thurman's friends here
think that the adjournment was caused
by the opposition to the "Old Romano

Sheriff Crawford has returned and states
that Max Hoppe, the murderer of young
Adams, has been arrested by the mounted
police on the other side of the line.
Crawforded started in pursuit and fol-
lowed his man into a miners camp in
the Sweet Grass hills. From there the
trail led toward to Upper Milk river, and
eventually crossed the line. The pursuit
was continued on Canadian soil for sew
eral miles, and the man was at last found
in a camp of mounted police, by whom
he had been arrested for stealing provis-
ions. Crawford made known his mission
and presented a warrant for the arrest,
asking that the prisoner be held in GUS

WESTERN PACKING.

A Falling OF Last Week as Compared
with Last Year.
CINCINNATI, June THE indicated
packing in the west for the week is 40, $50
hogs, against 81, 800 the preceding week
and $4,000 for the corresponding time
last year, The total from March 1 is
about 2, 100, 900 hogs, against 2,2O5, 900 a
year ago. At Chicago the receipts since
March l have been 1856, 600 greater than
for the corresponding time last year, and
the shipments 145, 900 to $50, 900 greater
than last year. This increase is under
stood to be due more to the demand for
fresh product than to enlargement in
curing operations. The per cent. of hogs
received was moderate during the week,
closing with a recovery of the decline.
Some markets bring a little higher prices
than a week ago. The provision trade
has been confined to an ordinary course
of affairs, with perhaps some improve
ment in the call for meats for the south.
If the stocks OF lard are correctly re-
ported for this and last month, and the
movement for the month correctly stated,
they were equivalent to 16, 600 tierces adj
ded TO the lard supply.

ST. LOUIS, June 1.-THE convention
was called to order Thursday morning at
10 o'clock and An invocation was deliv,
cred by Rev. DIR. Drank of st. Louis.
This concluded, the regular business of
the convention began. Henry Waiter
son took the platform to read the report
of the committee on resolutions. 1t was
common knowledge among the delegates
that the subcommittee had wrestled for
forty-eight hours with the tariff plank,
and great interest centered in the report.
1t had been rumored that the tariff
men had outvoted their free trade col.
leagues, that a minority report would be
presented embracing the views of the
president, and that little Fred Lehman,
the rising young Iowa Democrat, would
LAKE the opportunity to lead the general
sentiment of the convention against the
adoption of tie views of German and his
friends, and commit the party
to q free trade platform. The first
sentences dropped by Mr.. Watterson dis
PEELED this rumor, and the delegates sent
up u shout at the reading of the pream-
BILE endorsing Cleveland's much dis
crissed message. Mr.. German took the
floor when the reading of the platform
was concluded, and when he sat down
Mr.. Watterson demanded the previous
question n the report was unanimously
adopted.
Mr.; Gorman began his speech by re-
ferring to the promises made by the
Democrats at the Chicago convention

Ladies In boxes sprang 10 their feet in
alarm. Fortunately, the president retained
sufficient presence of mind to. touch an
electric bell on his desk, and the bands
struck up lively tune. This allayed
the excitement, and in a few moments
the convention was again at ease.
Then Mr.. Scott OF Pennsylvania, pre-
scented IA resolution endorsing and recon-
mending the early passage of the Mills
Dill by congress. This was considered q
possible point for discussion and lorg de-
bate, but in the interest of harmony the
protectionists swallowed their chagrin
and the resolution went through
Hon. f. w. Lehman, of Iowa, received

form to submits resolution declaring the

excluding them. This resolution went
through with enthusiasm.

steps of the platform and read resolutions
of sympathy with the Irish. Long and

Of Parnell and Gladstone and the refer

quickly passed.
