Special Dispatch to The EVENING STAR.
CHICAGO. June 23.-There is much feeling about
the Ingersoll episode last night. The scene was
one OF the most remarkable that ever occurred in
a convention. The convention had formally ad-
jourped, TO be sure, but It was practically still
In session. 1t was simply a change from conven-
ton TO popular assemblage, as the house goes
into committee OF the whole merely by O change
OF chairman. Taking advantage OF this oppor-
tunity TO instruct the delegates as to what they
ought TO DO was construed TO be an insult to them
and The re0uke that was administered to the dis
tlngulshed agnostic was terrible. He was crushed
by the tumult OF resentment, aud the great
orator who, moment before, was electrtfying
every one, stood for q few moments owe whemed
with confusion, and then pulled his hat over his
eyes and lett the hall. II was q dramatic action.
Ingersol had slaughtered his friend worse than
Foraker slaughtered Sherman the Gay before.

For a time the house was almost deserted.

Senator Sherman was at the Capitol early this
morning. From his own committee-room he went
Into that OF appropriations for awhile. 1t said
that the senator was feeling quite blue; that he
had about abandoned hope and that he was sorely
disappointed However, he did not manifest such
feeling TO the public. He was only more reserved,
more thoughtful, than yesterday.
Senator Allison was apparently as unconcerned
as II he was not In the race. He went on with
his committee work as usual, stopping to read the
bulletins as they were sent to the committee-room.
There was o dense crowd around the bulletin
board in the secretary's office. and the corner OF
the House corridor, wherein bulletins are posted,
Was kept at temperature even above the weather
by the closely. packed crowd.
1t Is said that some OF Senator Sherman's friends
