CONVENTION PREPARATIONS.
Chicago About Ready for Che Republican
Gathering.


CHICAGO May 23.-The subcommittee of
the National Republican Committee has
been in session in Chicago for two days ar
ranging details of the convention and de-
Gliding upon the distribution of tickets,
allstment of seats to the press and other
matters of detail. The seating capacity of
the hall is 1000, necessitating a smaller ap-
portionment of seats than heretofore. The
committee decided to give each delegate
three general tickets for distribution and
enc press ticket to each delegate, thus en-
abling the delegates to take care of the
local press in their district and state. One
hundred and fofty-seven working seats and
tables are provided for such OF the larger
daily newspapers as will make up and
send out from the hall special telegraphic
reports to supplement the verbatim report
of the Associated Press No other papers
except those sending out such special re-
port can be given representation at these
tables In the i47 seats are included the
United Press, Associated Press and official
stenogrsphers.
+. The local press committees were directed
to carry out these provisions and also that
the largest number of working tickets or
seats given to any paper should be three
The greater portion Of the daily papers tax
ing reports will have but one seat.
Alternate delegates will have no tickets ex-
cept their own or none for distribution. 1t
has been the usual custom to give the city
where the national convention is held Is
per cent. OF the tickets The committee
has reduced this for this convention to 10
per cent. The remaining tickets will be
divided between the press, members Of
Congress, Governors Of States and other dis
tinguished guests.

BLAINE DECLARED HIMSELF FOR
pEPEW.
The Newspaper Correspondents Arrives In
America and Repeats His Interview
With the Plsmed Knight-Othsr Psrtic-
ulers of the Talk.

BUFFALO, n. Y, May 23.-Frank L. Pow
ell, the young man who sent the News the
interview with Blaine, in which he was
made to declare for Chauncey NJ Depew,
arrived in Buffalo to-day, having been
called home by the death of his father and
brother, He has made the following state
ment for the benefto of his former EN- mployer,
Mr.. L. ii. Butler, of the News;
Editor of the Evening News:
Upon arriving home from abroad this
morning, | was told that the News had
been accused of printing fictitious inter-
view with Mr.. James G. Blaine, of Maine,
and that Mr.. Joe Manley, also of Maine,
was the accuser. have since learned that
Mr.. Manley withdraws the charge. | de-
sire to state for the edification, or otherwise
most likely otherwise-of Mr.. Manley
that the News letter is genuine and that the
interview is also genuine.
l met Mr. Blaine in Genoa Italy, at the
Grand Hotel DuParie, where our party was
stopping at the time. MIR. Blaine received
me very kindly, but at the same time say
ing, Il don't like newspaper men; they are
dangerous" After scanning me closely
from head to foot, be added, But you do
not look like dangerous man." He re-
quested that the interview be treated as pri-
vate and not for publication. but made no
promise. My card sent up before the inter
view bore the name of the Evening News.
Buffalo.
One thing more in conclusion, Mr.. Blaine
did not speak slightingly of Mr.. Sherman or
any other possible nominee. What he did
say was quoted in the printed interview
that he thought any but Mr.. Depew's
chances were secondary. II Mr.. Manley,
wants any more proof as to the veracity of
the News interview, let him cable TO his
friend MIR. Blaine. My language may not
have been in "Mr. Blaine's peculiar vein"
but the interview is genuine.a and the word
ing as nearly the same as could remember
five minutes after leaving his room.

M'AuLiFFe WHIPS GLOVER.
A Bloody Fight OF Forty-nins Rounds or
tho Pacific Coast.


tho Pacific Coast.
SAN FRANcIsRo, CAL, May 23-Joe Nc
Auliffe, champion heavyweight of the
Pacific Coast, and Frank Glover, the we'll
known pugiiist of Chicago, fought des-
perate mill here yesterday morning. The
fight was q scientific one for twenty rounds,
then blood began to appear.
The twenty-third proved to be the most
spirited round 50 far. McAuliffe pressed
his antagonist into the corner and against
the ropes. and in the meantime pounded
him severely. Glover took the punish
ment well, but WIS unable to return the
blows. The next few rounds appeared to
be generally in Glover's favor. He forced
McAuliffe hard, but the latter punished
him severely several times. principally on
the injured eye. which soon closed entire
ly. Gloyer's face was swollen terribly,
while the only marks to be seen on Nc
Auliffe were q slight abrasion on the arm
and slightly pufied-up eye. In the forty
fourth round, however, it became apparent
that Glover was growing weak fast. Nc
AHliffe struck was him terrible blow and
knocked him down under the ropes. This
was repeated twice in the same round. and
the third time he fell on his face Just as
ended here, for Glover was lifted by his
seconds and fell into his chair like q log
When time was called, however, he came
forward pluekily and received rousing
cheer from the spectators.
In this round McAuliffe did all the fight
ing, pressing Glover agailDt the ropes, but
failing to get knock-down. Glover steed
up well in the forty sixth and forty-seyenth
rounds and succeeded iugetting in hard
one on McAuliffe's eye. Some of Glovef's
over-sanguine admirers cried "he'll win
~ L A. -. 4. n Il
that all hope was gone. McAuliffe knocked
him down and when the Chicago man
arose for the forty ninth, he could barely
stand. After short period of sparring,
McAuliffe struck him twice and then
landed a terrific right handler on his neck
which sent him to the floor, where he lay
on his back like dead man and failed to
rise when time was called. The forty-nine
rounds were fought in three hours and
fifteen minutes. Glover weighed in at ITS
pounds and McAulifie AZ something over

ELECTION OF BISHOPS.


Important Business Transacted by the
Methodist Conference.
NEW YORK, May 2S.-For the first time
since the Twentieth General Methodist
Conference began every seat in the vast
auditorium of the Metropolitan Opera
House was filled yesterday when Bishop
Mallalieu opened the session. The ques-
ton of selecting a second bishop to India
came up Immediately after the reading of
the journal. DIR. Flood made an earnest
appeal for such an bishopric. DIR. Lana
ham opposed it and marveled at the sud
den conversion of some of the brethern."
He believed sudden conversion. but held
that convictions must precede it. He
could not understand how il was possible
for the brethren who. in one breath, OPP
posed such an appointment to in the next
turn around and advocate it. The result
OF DR.. Lanaham's opposition was that the
matter was temporarily laid ON the table.
Genera: Fink then moved TO hold a spec
isl session of the conference on Thursday
evening for the purpose of cdnsidering the
report of the committee ON tempersnceand
prohibition, which was passed. Bishop
Bowman then prayed, especially in refer
ence to the order of the day, after which
the election of bishops began. Four sec
tions of the tellers, consisting Of three each
and ore at large, were announced by Bishop
Andrews and took their places in the aisle
Before the actual voting began, much time
was taken up in settling the question as to
whether ballots containing less than the re-
quired namber of named should be counted
or thrown out. After much discussion it
was decided to count them and the voting
began in earnest.
The total number of votes cast on the
first ballot was Al. The number necessa-
~ for choice was 29S. The votes cast for
the leading candidates were as follows:
DIR. J. H. Nlncent 2l5; DR.. James NJ. Fitz-
gerald, 1856; DR.. J. A. Goodsell, 1853; DIR. J.
P. Newman, 1856: DR.. ]. w. Joyce. l45; Dr.
Payne, 100; Drs. James NJ. King and Earl
Cranston, 128 each; DR.. Kynett, ITO; H.
A. Butts, lis. There were twenty candi-
dates who received less than 100 votes, and
over SO who received but cone vote each.
On motion the time in which to elect bish-
ops was extended.
At the night session the conference
elected two Bishops, Rev. John Heyl Vim
cent, d. D., Ii. D., of Rock River. nL. and
Rev J. N. Fitzgerald. d. D., of Newark,
N. J. There were 459 votes cast 306 neces-
sary for choice: Vincent received 81 votes

4 Horrible Inheritance

The Transmission Of the fearful snects Of
contagious blood poison Is certainly the most
horrible Inheritance which any man can lsavs
to his innocent posterity. The curse con-
tsined In the scriptural declaration: "Ths
sins OF the fathers shall be visited upon the
children unto the third and fourth genera
uon," can be certainly mitigated, and In the
majority OF cases, prevented. by the use Of
the antidote to the contagious blood poison
which Nature herself furnishes, and which
Is To be found In Its native purity and In
faili6le efficacy in the remedy known all over
fhs world as Swift's Specific : commonly
called 5. 5. s." As illustrative of this fact
