sHERMAN's sHOUTERs.
The Bloody Shirt Candidates. Boom
in Full Swing.


CHICAGO, June 16.-The Sherman boom
may be said TO be in full swing to-day.
Although the main body of the Ohio dele
cation will not arrive until tomorrow night,
the leaders are all on the ground and zeal
ously at work in behalf Of their candidate.
The Sherman headquarters were thronged
all day with callers, conspicuous among
whom were many prominent delegates from
the south. Senator Sherman's managers
are jubilant at the outlook and say that his
candidacy is gaining strength every hour.
Senator c. B. Farwell was among the
distinguished callers at the Sherman house
parlors. At O'Clock the principal mana
gers of Senator Sherman's candidacy went
into private conference which lasted over
an hour. There were present: Gov. Fora
ker, ex- Gov. Foster, Gen. Grosvener, Con
gresham William Mckinley, A. c. Hedges,
x-Congressman Townsend, Mr. Hanna and
Gen. Robinson. all of Ohio. These nine
gentlemen, with Congressman Butterworth,
are entrusted with the political fort
unes OF Senator Sherman, and it
is understood that they embrace
his closest personal and political friends. 1t
was the first full conference held by the
Sherman leaders, and it is stated that the
time was principally occupied with inter
changing views and outlining future work.
Greater confidence in the success of their
candidate could scarcely exist than is found
about the Sherman headquarters.

WALKER BLAINE ON HAND.
He Registers AS Favorable to Ores
hams Candidacy.


hams Candidacy.
CHICAGO, June 16-Walker Blaine, the
son of Hon. James G. Blaine, was visitor
last night at the Gresham headquarters in
the Grand Pacific hotel. After brief con,
versation with those in the room, Mr..
Blaine walked up to the book containing the
names of the callers at the headquarters who
are favorable to the candidacy of
Judge Gresham for President and registered
his name. The movement caused consider
able surprise, as it was regarded by the on
lockers as a recognition and personal in
terest in Judge Greshams campaign.
Mr.. Blaine merely smiled when spoken to
about the matter, and soon after left the
hotel. Earlier in the evening reporter for
a local paper said to Mr.. Blaine: There
seems to be quite boom here for your
fatherF
ooh, it does not amount TO anything. II
is unauthorized and do not like it"
''Some claimed" said the reporter that
the boom is being put up to kill off Judge
Gresham in Illinois. viii you, as his next
friend in the case, take any action to stop
the movement
II think the boom you speak OF, replied
Mr.. Blaine is unorganized, merely howl
ing mass, and, as say, it is unauthorized.
| do not think from tho present outlook that
any action will be necessary"

heated discussion, it is understood, was
almost wholly on technical lines, with no
mention of presidential candidates, being
devoted chiefly to the well worked unit
rule question: but so skilfully conducted
that its bearing could not be misunderstood
10y the we'll posted, shrewd politicians COM
posing the national committee.
POINTS OF THE OPPOSITION.
The secret anti-BIaine circular said to
have been issued by Gen. Malone in Vir-
GINA and the offensive and a defensive
treaty believed to have been entered into
between the forces of Senators Malone and
Sherman are the points, 1t is stated this
evening, on which largely the opposition to
admitting to full privileges the entire
Malone delegation really, though not osten-
sibly, stands. The unit rule question is,
OF course, q perplexing and important
factor in the situation. Had tho sixteen
additional Malone men been given votes by
the national committee there seems no
doubt from the talk tonight that it would
have increased Sherman's strength, in the
temporary organization, at all events, just
sixteenEdelegates.
STOPPED JUST IN TIME.
1t appears almost equally certain this
evening that had the project gone through
the national. committee all right. the gauntlet
of the credentials committee and the con-
vention could have been run in compare
tive safety. Tonight Col. Hooker,
national committeeman from Vermont,
who was particularly prominent as
a champion of Senator Sherman,
made no bones of declaring publicly
that the decision Of the committee
allowing both the Malone and anti Malone
delegates to sit in convention, depriving
the Malone men of votes, is the result of
combination of the friends of other candi-
dates against the Sherman men. 1t seems
probable that the Malone fight will now be
carried squarely on this issue into the Gre
dentials committee, and later, perhaps, into
the national convention itself.

The Two Sets OF Delegates Who VIII
Contest for Admission.
WASHINGTON, June 16-Al day long
trains loaded down with enthusiastic Chi
cago delegates and shouters have been
leaving this city by both of the great trunk
lines. Such large proportion OF congress
men have gone that the capitol building is
practically deserted. There is no quorum
in the house and everybody knows it,
but as the point is not raised business goes
on as usual. The four District of Columbia
men, who will seek admission to the con-
vention, left early to-day. The riotous con-
vention here last spring elected two sets of
delegates-one set, who are for Senator
Sherman, is made up of the venerable ex-
congressman and leading lawyer OF WashIn-
ton, Judge Samuel Shellabarger, formerly
of Ohio. His companion is a respectable
colored man. The Blaine shouters elected
the notorious "Col." Perry Carson, the big
black negro hotel keeper, who is

BERLIN, June 16.-Emperor William II.
has issued the following general order to
the army:
While the army has only just discarded the
outward signs of mourning for the Emperor
King William l., my deeply revered grand

hearts, II has suffered a fresh and heavy blow by
the death of my dear and warmly loved father
This is indeed a serious and sorrowful time In
which Gods decree places me at the head OF the
army. 1t Is from a deeply moved henri that
address my first words tony army, but the con
fidence with which / step into the place
to which Gods will calls me is immovaby
strong, for | know what sense of honor my
glorious ancestors have implanted in the
army, and / know in how great measure
this feeling has at all times been manifested
in the army. A firm and invincble attach
ment to the war lord is an inheritance
handed down from father TO son, from genera
ton to generation, and in the same way refer
you to my grandfather who stands fresh in all
your memories as the personihcation of the
glorious and venerable war lord, such as could
not be more finely conceived or in form more
speaking TO the heart. | refer you to my be-
loved father, who as crown prince already won
a place OF honor in the annals OF the army, and
to a long line OF glorious ancestors whose
names shine brightly in history and whose
hearts beat warmly for the army Thus
we belong to each other, / and the army.
Thus were born for one another, and thus
we will stand together In an indissoluble bond,
in peace or Storm as God may will it. You will
now take to me the oath OF fidelity and obedi-
ence, and | swear ever to remember that the
eyes Of my ancestors look down upon me from
the other world and that shall one day have
TO render an account TO them for the glory and
honor OF the army. WILLIAM.

and this will have great influence in keep

other in the Tenth--which are calculated TO
greatly worry those mortals who will serve

FRANCE IN A TRRMBLH.
Dismal Speculations as to the New
Emperor's Policy.

Dismal Speculations as to the New
Bmperors Policy.
PARIS, June 16. 1t is useless to deny that
under cover of assumed confidence the death
of Emperor Frederick has caused feeling
hero very much like dismay. II was i'm
possible not TO notice the silent agitation
which pervaded the chamber Of deputies
when his decease was announced 1t is
worthy of remark that not single journal
published an exaggerated statement or pre-
mature account of the death of Emperor
Frederick. He was respected he as n lover
of peace, and mingled with the expressions
of sorrow at his death are dismal spectla-
tions as to the political consequences.
Rightly or wrongly the new emperor is
regarded as being animated by bitter hatred
of France, and desire to render his reign
memorable by fresh laurels culled upon the
battle field at the expense of his hereditary
foe.
FREDERICK's AVERSION TO WAR.
A person who saw the emperor at Char.
Gutenberg has a piece Of note-paper where
on the emperor had written the following:
One OF the most consoling circumstances Of
my severe trial liz 10 be shown what IL said Of
me in the French papers. Icertainly endeayored
by every means In my power 10 mitigate the
hardships Of war when | was at Versailles but
still war was very rigorous and must always be
human nature TO find how the French forget the
evil had TO do them and only remember those
deeds that were good. This present state OF
feeling makes me hate war more than ever
did In my life.

The Real significance OF tne Contest
from Virginia.
CHICAGO, June 1G.-One of the queerest
developments this evening is the open &C
acknowledgement that the fight for a scat In
the convention for the additional sixteen
Malone district delegates from Virginia is
in tho interest of Senator Sherman for the
presidency. The fight is yet undecided, and
promises, unless quickly checked, to become
n battle royal. into which the adherents of
all the various presidential candidates may
be drawn almost inevitably. The followers
of several favorite sons other than he Of
Ohio, but above all the large element
who are for Blaine, come what may,
have 80 far prevented the full consumma-
ton of the Sherman Malone plan of cam
paign, and in consequence largely spoiled,
Tor the time being at least, what is perhaps
the neatest bit OF politics that has come TO
the surface here since the main struggle
began.
