The indications are that more furs viii be
worn this winter than during any preceding
season. The ~furriers have loaded up with a
heavy stock aud are disposing of it rapidly.
A Prince street furrier says that short
coats are going out Of style and that New
markets and long coats are superseding them.
The new style Is called the Lady. harri-
dent, and is from 80 to 80 inches long. Seal
jackets are also dying out on account Of SO
many cheap plush limitations. The new =" top

doubtless will be before long.
A style greatly in demand by tall ladies is q

made to fall so gracefully that il makes a tall

Not only are these pieces curious on this

banished to st. Helena.
The other coin left the mint in 1915. and

Centre street. Here the buglsr will call a
dismount, and road race will be witnessed
to East Auburn, about three miles. The

Immediately after the road race the run
will be taken up around Lake Auburn to the
Lake Auburn House. where special BAN

:. All Of the speakers gave pledges that in
the event OF the committee acceding to their
representations they would see to It that an
army Oh trained speakers should 90 into the
the Republican candidates.
The subcommittee Of the committee on
resolutions. which was appointed TO wrestle
with the tariff plank, was in session until
O'Clock this morning, when a recess was tax
EN- until 9 O'Clock. 1t Is constituted as fol-
lows: Congressman Mckinley Of Ohio,
Senator Farwell OF Illinois, Senator Stewart
OF Nevada, Senator Harris Of North Caroli-
ma, Congressman Warner Of Missouri, SEN
ator Hisc0ek Of New York, Henry s. Oliver
of Pennsylvania, Albert Griffin Of Kansas,
A. w. Beard OF Massachusetts,, A. S. Sweet
of Idaho, X. j. r. Lynch Of Mississippi.
The credentials committee met In secret
session at 8 o'clock this morning. and at once
resumed.consideration Of the Virginia con-
test
After hearing briefly and without decision
the claims of the delegates at large, the com
mittee took up numerically the eight con-
tested districts, the first and fourth not being
contested. The second, third and fifth dis
tricts had at noon presented their respective
claims, no vote being taken.
Ex-Congressman Brady and John s. Wise
presented the case for the latter, arguing
that the Wise district delegates were elected
in separate district conventions in conform
ity with the rules Of the party, and that Gen.
Malone, in his call for the State convention
at Petersburg for the election Of district del
egates, Intentionally violated the well settled
law Of the Republican party as to such cleo
ton. Messrs. VIM. f. Craig and w. G.
Elan presented General Mahone's side. At
p. m. the committee completed the hear
ing, and went into executive session.
The doors were then closed upon the con-
testants, and both Wise and Malone retired.
BY vote ef 28 to 10, the first contest (the
second district was disposed Of in favor Of
Wise by a uiud roce vote. The third, fifth,
sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth were
rapidly disposed Of TO the same effect.
After brief recess the committee reas-
sembled and at once took up the case Of the
District Of Columbia. While this contest
hinges upon charges and counter-charges Of
irregularity In the district convention, it
soon became very plain that the seating Of
these two delegates will involve hard fight
In the convention, and will probably be the
first trial Of strength between the Blaine and
Sherman forces there. 10 Is probable that
whatever Is the committees decision, a mi
nodty report will be presented Without
reaching vote, at 6 o'clock, In order to be
able to report to the convention this evening,
the contests in Louisiana, Georgia, Mary
land, Minnesota and Massachusetts, were
referred to subcommittee, with fnstruc-
tions to report without delay.

IN THE COMMITTEE ROOMS.
Woman's EIoquence and virgInIa's g
contestIng Delegations.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 2O.-When the Repub-
lican delegates awoke in Chicago this morn
ing the situation as far as the chances Of the
different candidates were concerned. was but
little changed.
If there was any change it was toward
greater complication. All the Chicago morn
ing papers took this view Of the situation
and all agreed that the outcome was as diff
cult to forecast as 1t was week ago.
The Tribune and the Herald both report
that the New York delegation is still divid-
ed. At least four Of the delegation. they
say, will not vote for Depew.
The Tribune reports q sensational affair
which occurred in the room Of the committee
on credentials last night. 1t is alleged that
Malone attempted to strike Wise in the heat
of a new controversy regarding Virginia's
delegates and another alteration followed
between their adherents, Congressman Lib
by and Allen, in which the latter was struck.
Several Malone men went for Libby and
threw him to the floor and free fight fol-
lowed among the henehmen which was final
lly subdued by the arrival Of policemen.
Several negroes, who were in the room, en-
gagged In the light and had their heads crack
ca py p0llceman's billy An effort was
made TO keep the affair quiet.
IL was well on toward midnight when the
committee on platform. after a five hour ses-
sion, decided to sleep over the various
planks that had been submitted and come
together again at Q o'clock this morning.
The entire session was occupied in listening
to addresses from Mrs. Isabella Beecher
Hooker, sister Of the late Henry Ward
Beecher, Mrs. Caroline Hulling, editor Of
the Women's Suffrage journal, and Susan
b. Anthony, who spoke in favor of an equal
suffrage plank.
After this the necessity of a pronounced
utterance on the liquor traffic was urged BY
Mrs. Ellen Foster. of Iowa, who deplored
the action Of the third party Prohibitionists
and declared that if the committee would
speak upon the subject with no uncertain
sound the Republican party would win back
a large proportion of the temperance vote
that had allied itself to the Prohibition
party.
