Blame panic. 1t was in order to do something
OF this kind that the convention was SO sud-
denly adjourned after the fifth ballot.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN"
When the convention reassembled at four
O'Clock it was the general belief that some
thing was going to happen. The only thing
done however, was to adjourn until Monday
morning at eleven o'clock.
NV nat does it mean?' was the question
with every one who did not sec in it the cum
ning hand of the Blaine leaders, The recog-
nlzed Blaine support in the convention voted
10 adjourn. and Harrison and Alger opposed it.
new YORK vote in the negative was sur
PRISE, as it was believed to be for Blaine. One
OF Its delegates said to me tonight:
"Of course, we are for Blaine, and If the
other Blaine states had voted with us Blaine
would nave been nominated right away. We
oppose adjournment because we wanted the
matter settled right then and there"
AS 1T stands now, Gresham and Sherman are
DEAD beyond resurrection. Their hopes have
gone glimmering and Sherman is no doubt al
ready at work laying his plans for the next
convention. Alger and Allison have not given
up and Harrison will stand to the last IT ia
possible that Monday will be given them to
squeeze some of their number out, but it is
more probable that things will so shape them
selves as to reach nomination Monday, at
least in the afternoon.
Friends of Gresham are making the last
rally and forcibly presenting his claims as the
strongest man on whom the opposition to
Blaine can unite. They claim he is the second
choice of a larger number of delegates than
any other candidate, and that he is the most
available candidate. Wisconsin and Mime
sofa, which today wavered from the Gresham
lines, have promised to come back Monday
morning. With Harrison beaten, it is claimed
nearly the whole of Indiana will swing over
to 1ndiana's second choice and if Allison and
Sherman will join the movement Blaine may
be beaten.
Ell1ins claims.a large majority of the conven-
ton Tor Blaine, and says Blaine can he nomina-
ted the moment he gives the word. Other figures
are not so favorable as these, and ex-senator
Plata Blaine man, has list of reliable Blaine
men, prepared by his lieutenant after per-
sonal canvass, and it contains the names of 1913
persons, a bare majority of the delegates. This
afternoons adjournment without ballot was at
first put down as an anti-Baine victory, but
the facts don't support this theory. There are
good reasons for believing that Depew's aban-
donment of Harrison was arranged to be the
signal for the Blaine stampede, but it is the
policy of the Blaine forces to aid all
efforts to secure delay. They say they
are in no hurry to nominate Blaine
and want all other candidates to have as good
chance and as much time as their friends may
ask for. They take this position because it is
their desire not only to nominate Blaine, but
to nominate him in such manner as will not
have the appearance of riding over the other
candidates.

the Olivette, surrendered the wheel to q
deck hand named Danver 1t being flood tide
the jetty was covered with water, Danver had
scarcely got his bearings when he heard q
sharp, grating sound, and realizing he was on
the jetty, stopped the engine. Several of the
male passengers jumped over on the jetty and
in doing so the boat lurched and slid off into
deep water. The girls then made run for the
side of the boat This caused her to heel over
suddenly, and in second she turned
bottom side up. The air was Immediately
filled with screams for help from score Of
persons struggling for their lives in the water.
The cries were heard at Greenville, and other
points on the bay, and rescuers

was found six of the party, five ladies and
one gentleman, had been swept away and

THE sITUATION AT MIDNICuT

CHICAGO, juno 2i.-At midnight Blaine's
managers here are very confident that their
candidate will be nominated on the second bal
lot taken Monday. They say, however, that
they are in no hurry about it, as they are sure
that the result they desire will be brought
about eventually.
At a meeting of the New York delegation
tonight, that state, by vote of SO tot, decided
to vote for Blaine on Monday. The Calf
fornians are highly elated over the outlook for
the success of their campaign, and the nomi-
nation of Blaine, if it be accomplished, is GER
tainly due to their persistent efforts. This is
recognized by leading political managers here

moved that, after nominations were made, the

Connecticut was reached one vote was cast for

ment was made Mr.. Mckinley was seen to
rise in his seat, and, amid most impressive 81
lence, proceeded to make a statement. He
was greeted with storm of applause. He

The ballot was then proceeded with without
further incident until Illinois was reached,

Harrison, created q sensation and was received
with q mingled demonstration Of Kisses and

If anybody thinks that the discussion in the
newspapers Of topics affecting the welfare or
comfort of the public does not bear fruit, let
such person go to the theaters and observe the
effect Of what has been said lately about going
out between acts on the part of men, and the
wearing of high and PREDETERMINED hats to
places Of amusement by the ladies'. Although
neither of these vile habits is entirely broken up
there is less of both than there used to be. It
is true that coarse fellow will yet occasionally
push past a whole row Of closely packed ladies
and gentlemen in order to regale himself with
toddy or scent his clothes with the smoke of
nasty cigarette, and here and there may still
be seen a vulgar or selfish woman making her
self conspicuous to the whole audience and OBJ
noxious to those behind her by wearing stage
obscuring head-gear; but these cases are the
exception, rather than the rule, az formerly,
and there is a present prospect that they will
gradually become still more rare until they
disappear entirely This they will certainly do
when people attending places of amusement
show that regard for the rights and comfort of
others which always marks the conduct of the
true lady and gentleman, whether at home or
elsewhere.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New
York is to be opened for two nights in each
week. including SATURDAY., until midnight.
This decision was reached after much discus
sion and contention as a compromise between
those who wished the museum to be open only
onweek days and close, as at present, at clock,
and those who desired to have it open on
Sundays and in the evening in order that the
general public might enjoy it as well as a few
persons Of leisure. II the public, including
the great mass of men who work during the
hours Of daylight in the week, is to contribute
from the public funds to the support of mu-
seums and libraries, access to the treasures
therein contained should be granted outside of
working hours to the workers whose tax-money
is expended. And the private benefactor who
establishes such an institution will confer the
greatest good upon the greatest number by
opening it to be enjoyed by the many, and not
by combining its enjoyment to the few.
