1t Has Split. aud Many Delegates WALL
Out of the Hall.
WAsHNeToN, August l5.-At the second
days session of the National Convention
OF the American party, the temporary
officers were made permanent. The com.
mittee on platform made majority and
minority reports. Both were received with
great applause, and were finally recommit.
ted. with instructions to report this after.
noon. A recess was then taken.
When the convention reassembled the
committee on platform made further
report, recommending that each State and
Territory represented be allowed one vote
in the convention for each congressional
district, and two at large. Judge Church
submitted the minority dissenting report.
The New York delegates vigorously pro-
tested against the adoption OF the report.
Governor Sharpe offered resolution
pledging the convention to nominate an in
dependent candidate for president and
vice-president. A long discussion followed,
during which it was intimated that the
New York delegation was in somebody's
pay.
The previous question being called for,
Governor Sharpe's motion was put and
carried by an almost unanimous vote.
A substitute motion that New York be
allowed one vote in the convention for
every two delegates present from that State
was lost by vote OF 20 to 49. The Hawley
resolution allowing Congressional repre-
sentation was taken up. The roll being
callrd the resolution was lost by 43 to 40.
The Illinois delegation then announced
that, in-as-much as it come here to parti.
cipate in national convention and not in
a New York State convention, it wound
withdraw, and left the hall. The PennsyIva.
mia, Vermont, Wisconsin and several other
delegations also left, the New York and
California delegation being nearly the only
ones which remained.
A recess was taken until a. m. The
boilers will also meet at Z o'clock at the
Ebbit House.

THE C0UNTRY,S FRUIT CROPS.
An Immense Yield of Grapes and Lighter
Crops of Apples, Plums, Etc.

An Immense Yield of Grapes and Lighter
Crops of Apples, Plums, Etc.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, August 16.-Reports
to the "New England Homestead" cover
ing the fruit growing regions of New England,
New York and Michigan, show an enormous
yield of grapes in all sections; remark
ably short crop of pears oil all varieties; a
curtailed yield of plums, and full crop OF
peaches in Delaware, Michigan and other
sections where they are commercially
grown; with very limited production in
peach orchards OF Southern New England.
High prices are considered certain for
pears and plums, with medium values for
grapes and peaches, but grapes held for
winter market will doubtless command
comparatively fancy prices.
The apple crop, on the whole, is con.
siderably less than the even-year produc-
tion of two years ago, owing to drouths in
some sections, to cold weather at the time
OF blooming, and to the premature drop.
bing of the fruit.

Secretary Fassett of the Republican Ma

man OF the Chicago convention, has writ
ten very urgent appeal for Blaine to 60.
He thinks Blaine's pre- sence on the Pacific
Coast would be compliment his people
would appreciate, and that it would help
the party.

ter, however. There are are some things in
the way OF Blaine's going to California.
Probably the most important point is the
length OF time it will take for him to make
the trip. We don't think we can hardly
spare him from the East.
