WASHINGTON, June 15,-There were
many vacant seats on the Republican
side Of the House to-day. 1t is estimated
that about eighty Representatives had
gone to Chicago.
The attendance on the Democratic side
was not much better, and practically
business could only be done by unani-
nous consent, any member having it in
his power to suspend proceedings by
making the point Of no quorum.
Such an Incident happened at the very
outset this morning, when Townshend,
upon the defeat of his motion to take up
the Army Appropriation bill, made the
point. For an hour he resisted the ap-
peals of nearly all the members to with
draw his point, but finally yielded to the
Speakers plain intimation that nothing
could be done if he persisted.
After struggle lasting half an hour
over the order of business, Townshend
made motion to consider the army APP
bill, which was defeated and
the House proceeded with the regular
order, which was business on the private
calendar.
After passing several private bills, the
House took recess until s p. NJ, when
private pension bills were considered.
Before recess a resolution of profound
with the German Nation in
the loss of Emperor Frederick was
adopted.

OREGON BREEZEs.
Loss of Life by Hurrfcanes-Fisher-
man Lost at Sea.

PORTLAND, June ia disastrous
windstorm and cloudburst is reported to-
day at Arlington, Oregon. Seven build
iDgs in the town Of Lexington were
wrecked. A house belonging to H. ].
Brooks was blown down. Mrs. Brooks
was fatally injured, and soon died from
the effects. A house and barn belonging
to H. A. Perkins was totally wrecked
Perkins was very sick in the house at the
time, and sustained very serious injur-
les. His little child received blow on
the head and was killed. Mrs. Perkins
and two children were also injured. The
school house containing a number Of
pupils was partially destroyed and several
children injured, two, it is feared fatally
ASTORIA, Ore, June ia strong gale
has been blowing for the past five days,
and it is feared the loss Of life among
fishermen has been large. Several boats

Twenty boats were capsized yesterday

and three fishermen are known to be
drowned.

situation very complicated and regretted
he could throw no special light on it.
Delegate s. A. Phillips, from Conk
ling's district, said: "You may say EN-
phatically that Depew will have sixty Of
our seventy-two votes. II Depew is moi
candidate, our choice will be for a man
who can win."
A prominent ex- Congressman. from
New York, who desired his name with
held, said:
"The second choice of most of our
delegates is John Sherman. Hiscock and
Platt are at heart in favor Of Alger, but
if Depew will accept, he will have prac-
tically solid delegation. If New York
does not get first place it viii say what
Western State shall. The New York del
egation in point of preference is an un-
known quantity"
Editor Rosewater, of the Omaha Bee,
and ex-senator Sanders are authority for
the statement that Nebraska will give
Allison complimentary vote, after which
it will break and go no one knows where.
The friends Of Sherman and Alger are
positive that the Nebraska delegation
will be divided between the Ohio man
and Michigan's Ex-Governor.
Gfesham's friends had another meet
ing at their headquarters tonight. After
adjournment two gentlemen, respect
lively champions of Blaine and Gresham,
who undertook to discuss the merits OF
their candidates, came to blows. This
was the outgrowth of the Blaine talk,
which was INDUCED in tonight more
than heretofore, giving the estimated
strength Of the different candidates,
which seem to show that there was no
solution to the situation, but the magic
name of Blaine. 1t was urged that
Blaine was not q candidate and could
not be, owing to his two letters, but this
almost irrefutable statement did not seem
to down the Plumed Knights ghost.
Gresham, being the local candidate,
has the largest number of boomers.
Harrison appears to have the next best
following in point OF numbers. Alger's
headquarters was the Mecca OF the even
ing, and probably more visitors from
more States called there than at any
other place. Sherman's headquarters
presented somewhat cheerless appear
ance, principally because it is located on
the third floor, and but few of the Ohio
delegation have arrived.

CouNcTL BLUFFs, Iowa, June 15.-The
train bearing the Pacific Coast delegation,
representing forty-two votes in all,
whistled into the Omaha depot amid q
gorgeous array Of bunting, flags and cam
paign emblems, at half-past three O'Clock
this afternoon. The local committee on
reception, which was on. hand at once,
caught the sentiment of the Coasters by
Haunting an American flag with the por-
trait Of Blaine pinned over the field Of
stars. There was q general crowding
about this banner. 1--WE are all for
Blaine" was the general cry, and one Of
the delegates added, eyes, it is Blaine or
bust"
The views OF the delegates indicated
that at any rate the Pacific Coast delega-
tion proposes to make this enthusiastic
Blaine, boast as nearly literally true as
possible. Three things became at once
evident when a poll had been made Of the
orty delegates on the "Coasters" train
First--The Blaine movement, II there is
to be any in the Convention, can depend
on the Pacific Coast from the start to the
finish; second-That the demand will be
made that the Pacific Coast have either
the temporary or permanent chairman,

CHICAGO, June 15.--Hon. II. O. Plat,
OF New York, arrived tonight. He was
called upon by representative of the
Associated Press with a view of obtain
ing the temper Of the New York State
delegation. Mr.. Plstt said he had no in

thereby that nothing whatever concern

YES" said Mr.. Platt, 81 think so !;
the four delegates-at-large will confer on
Monday and if they are unanimous
have no doubt the entire delegation will
join them"
"How many delegates has Depew now,
do you think? :" was asked.
"I have no knowledge" was the an
swer: "probably all Of them. think he
can have majority II he will accept the
nomination"
The reporter then turned his attention
to William Walter Phelps, Of New Jer-

A VOLUNTEER wIrNEss.

John o. Spellman was volunteer wit
ness before the Hale Civil Service Com
mittee this morning. The witness was a
Democratic lawyer and delegate to the
Convention which nominated Grover
Cleveland in 1884. He sought appoint
ment as messenger in the New York
Custom House, and while SO employed,
wrote letter to New Hampshire
paper, criticising the Cleveland tariff
message as free trade document. He
was called to account therefor, by Col
lector Magone and Mr.. Mason, Clerk of
the Civil Service Board. The witness
thought this an interference with his
rights as citizen and resigned and went
back to Vermont and became Republi-
can. He created the general impression
that all the high officials of the Custom
House were engaged in active politics,
having. met them at all political meet
ings OF any consequence in New York
City during his term of office.

respiration improving, and he continues

AT midnight it was said there had

was quiet. The General rests easily but
is occasionally disturbed by short spell
of coughing.
