COMMITTEES AT WORK.
Minneapolis Exposition Changes
Under Consideration

Under Consideration
CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-The subcommittee
appointed Ia arrange the preliminaries
for the Republican national convention
met in conference with representatives
of the Minneapolis local committee to-
day at the Grand Pacific. The Mime
apolis representatives were X. 3. Lang
don, Thomas Lowry, III. +. Brown and
George A. Bracket. the chairman. The
national committee was represented 10y
A. l.. Conger. of Ohio; Henry c. PAYNE,
of Wisconsin; and Powell Clayton, of
Arkansas.
Architects Hayes, of Minneapolis, and
Sullivan, of Chicago, submitted their
plans for remOdelling the exposition
building for convention purposes. The
changes will cost $4,000, to be paid by
the city of Minneapolis. 1t was estl-
mated that the hall would comfortably
seat $4,000 people. 5000 of whom would
be delegates.
1t will be several days before the exact
plan is decided upon. Nothing positive
was done III regard 20 il today. Mr..
Clayton, who left for the East i'll the
afternoon, took with him copy of each
of the plans presented to the committee
and will submit them to Chairman j. 5.
GARRISON. 1t is probable that the best
features of both plans will be adopted.
The details of the ticket system were
discussed and the announcement made
that the regulations regarding admission
tickets would be more strict than hith-
erto. As requested by the national
committee, it was decided that railroad
tickets should be made good for the
entire month of June. The roster of the
executive, finance, hall, hotels, trans
portation and reception committees, as
prepared by the Minneapolis committee,
was adopted in addition to number of
minor committees

Mr. Blanchard on River and Har-
Dor Work.


Dor Work
WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.-The house
committee on rivers and harbors eff
fected an organization today. There
has been some informal discussion
among members with reference to the
policy to be pursued by the committee
in the matter OF river and harbor I'M
proyementS. No conclusion has been
reached. but there seems to be a feeling
that little. if any, new work will be au-
thoriZed. A Michigan delegation ap-
peared before the committee in the in
terest of the Improvement Of st.
Joseph's Harbor, Mich.
Chairman Blanchard said this after
noon that in order to reconcile the COM
mittee to bring in river and harbor
bill at an early day it will be absolutely
necessary that the time of the commit
tee be absorbed as little as possible In
hearing delegations that come to WASH
ington for the purpose of making ar
engagements i'll support of the improve
ment of party localities. Delegations
are. he said, not expected or encouraged
to come, and will not be heard except
upon application previously presented
through senator or representative and
after the same has been allowed, date
fixed and specified time. not exceeding
one hour for given project, allotted.
After Feb. 10 such delegations will
not be heard at all. Senator'S and rep
resentativeS will not be, as heretofore.
formally invited to appear before the
committee. but such as present them
selves will be accorded a brief time to
present such matters as they desire.
Mr.. Blanchard says the engineers re-
ports are very full, and but little else is
needed by the committee in its work.

Success to disturb the inertia of the
British government and secure some
forward movement on its part toward a
Esbeginning of the long-expected arbitra-

+ 1t is two months now since the last
definite proposals on this subject were
exchanged. Secretary Blaine had so
far yielded to Minister Salisbury's re-
quest as to consent to the reference of
the questions under contention to a
tribunal composed of seven persons.
One of these arbitrator was to repre-
sent Canada, one Great Britain, two the
United States and the remaining three
were to be selected from other nations.
Up to. this point everything had pro-
crossed smoothly and uninterruptediy,
but when it came to an agreement upon
the three neutral arbitrat0rs, there was
hitch
Great Britain could not be induced to
submit any names of persons who
would be acceptable to her, and has not
up to this time. Unless Lord Salisbury
speedily gives his attention to the nego-
tiations the prospects are favorable to a

perfect control and to have had the sit
uatiOn fully explained TO them by their
British officers, in whom they appear to
have the greatest confidence. 1t is
known that preachers of Sedition have
been at work among the native troops,
urging them to rise against the British
army of occupation, but the Egyptian
sidarS are said to have turned a deaf ear
TO all propositions TO draw them from
their allegiance.
The British officers have caused sew
erai such advocates of trouble to be
whipped away from the neighbornood

OF the state of forced quiet prevailing,
that this would have been Il grand OPP

BERLIN, Jan. 9.-In this city the opin-
ion IS expressed that the khedive lost
his life through placing too much con-

The Times comments as follows:
president Garnet has dashed the wild

would be established, or that there
would be other interference with the
accession of Abbas or the English
supervision. TIE French are reckon

Germany's Position
BERLIN, Jan. 9.-With regard to the
Egyptian question the concord between
the German government and that of
Great Britain is perfect and no trouble
is anticipated in official circles in conse-
quence of the accession of Abbas Pasha,
the eldest son of the late khediye. If
the French revive the question of the
British occupation of Egypt they will
receive no support from either Russia
or Turkey. The cZar at presents solicit
Gus that Europe should remain tranquil
and the porte is adverse to French in
reference.
Regarding a regency, on which sub
Ject the French press is greatly exited,
the sultan's firman establishing the sue
cession of the eldest son of the khedives
also provides that if deceased khedive
has not duly appointed regency the
the ministers shall elect a regent from
among themselves the ministry forming
council of regency. Any regent APP
pointed will be mere instrument of
British policy.

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-The Morning News
says: A new political organization has
been formed Reciprocity is its plat
form. and Blaine IS its chief. 1t is a
combination of labOring men in the pro-
tected trades, farmers who are not IN or
weary of the Alliance, and Democrats
and Republicans generally who believe
In Blaine and protective tariff. The
organization is secret and oath-bound:
each member must subscribe to ritual
that likes his opinions on certain cues
tons in black and white.
1t claims 5000 members in Chicago.
Among them are w. E. Mason, Frank
LAWYER and host of others prominent
IN political lines. Outside of Chicago
the organization, it is said, has 1900
members. Encampments or lodges are
to be organized in every city in the land.
OId-time political associations will be
laid by. The scope is immense. Ittakes
in half a dozen great interests.

WASHINGTON, William Dixon.
the member of the national Democratic
committee who has been given charge
of the arrangements for the meeting of
the committee in this city OH the 2ist.
says that nine cities have formally de-
cided to compete for the honor Of enter
tanning the Democratic convention.
These cities are St. Paul, Milwaukee,.
Kansas City, indianapolis. Detroit, New
York, Buffalo, San Francisco and GIN
cinnati
INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 9.-Reports sub
mitted at meeting today of the execu-
tive committee in charge of the move
ment to have their city chosen as the
place where the next Democratic ma
tional convention shall be held show
that some remarkably effective work
has been done in quiet way in the
interest of indianapolis. and the MEM
bers of the committee are encouraged
to believe that if the convention is held
in the West, indianapolis will be
selected as the place. The considerations
which have operated to the advap-
tage of indianapolis are its central
Location, its accessibility over the six
teen railroads that run into it from all
directions, the demonstrated fact that it
has ample accommodations. and what IS
probably more important than all. the
political gain from the influence of the
convention. The report of the commit
tee on capacity shows that $1,000 people
can be comfortably cared for, iearly
10000 of them within a radius of six
squares from the center of the
city. Plans have been prepared
tor convention hall with
seating capacity of 1900.
with the most perfect arrangements for
convention purposes ever offered in the
country. All parts of the hall are with
in easy view and hearing distance of
the stage, and the press and telegraph
arrangements are everything that could
be disired. More than sufficient money
for the erection of the building has
been raised by subscription. and every
thing is in readiness to begin work on
it as soon As the question as TO where
the convention shall be held is decided.

same committee, which has jurisdiction
over all bills in Illinois, the Northwest

committee is subject to revision by a
revisory committee, consisting of the
chairmen of the several subcommittee,
and finally by the full committee.
The public buildings committee met
this morning, but nothing of Importance
was done beyond the designation of the
sub committees. The committee has
not yet outlined its policy as respects
public buildings. Chairman Bankhead
said that he thought the committee
would be very conservative and would
not be at all extravagant. 1t was abso-
lutely necessary, he said, that the com
mittee should be conservative in view
of the state of the governments reve-
nues and expenditures.
