fAS QuoSSion o. Succession Furnishes
Material for Speculation.
A very remarkable feature In con-
ncction with the death of the duke OF
Clarence and Avondale is the demon
strations that are still made. The Al
bert memorial chapel was opened tothe
public the other day, and hundreds of
people went from London TO. Windsor
for the purpose Of looking at the coffin
containing the remains of the duke,
Not alone from London, but from many
PARTS of the country people hoclsed to
Windsor, and every train which stopped
at the station added its quota to the
crowd. The streets were early filed
with throngs of men, women and chill
Gran moving in the directicn of the
castle. All the morning there was
steady stream of humanity pouring
through the chapel eager to look upon
the coffin. They were kept moving
along steadily,
The fear that the duchess of Fife
may, through confederation of events,
succeed to the throne, continues to ex-
cite tho English people, particularly
THOSE of the nobility and upper classes.
A well informed correspondent says
that Prince George, of Wales, who.
through his brothers. death, becomes
heir presumptiye to the throne, will al
most Immediately be made duke Of
SussexN and that. his engagement to
IONIC princess will lie announced before
the end Of the season.
It is earnestly hoped that the very
greatest precautions will be taken with
regard to the health of Prince George,
for, it is said. he is not gifted with q
rauch stronger constitution than that
possessed by his brother. .,
1t was generally understood that
when Princess Louise married the earl
of Fife, whom the queen afterw ard
crepted duke, she renowned her
rights, of succession, but it is now,
known that she did not. In the evenb
Of the duchess of Fife becoming queen
the duke of Fife would, of course, be
made prince consort, and the idea of
his holding that most exalted position
j. not mt all acceptable to the nation.
Such n succession might have unfortu-
nate results.
The death of the duke has had q very
great effect upon many branches of
trade. The prospects of "the season."

HARRISON GETS IT.
The Indiana state Convention Indorses
BIm-Only One Opponent, and he 1
Htssed-Delegates-at Elected.

INDIANAPOLIS, March I0.-Tomlinson
Hall presented an animated scene al
1890 this morning, when Chairman
G0udY called the Republican State Con-
vention 70 order. The Rev. DR.. Lucas
prayed that patrlotisms and love Of
country should be kept above partisan
ship.
Warren G. Sayer, OF Wabash, was
chosen permanent chairmen, and Rob
ert Brown, OF Franklin, permanent
Secretary.
Committees were then appointed. The
report OF the Committee on Resolutions
was read By General Packer, and IL
contains among other things:
awe endorse the brilliant administra-
tion Of BENZ. Harrison. under which the
country has prospered, the rights Of
American citizens abroad are maintain
ed, and the bonded debt OF the United
States rapidly extinguished, aud the
revenue collected with diminished cost
10 the people and without corruption in
any branch of the public service.
president Harrison has discharged
his high duties in the spirit Of lofty
patriotism and with conscientious re-
gard for the rights OF all our people.
That such a condition OF affairs may
continue TO prevail, we urge his renom-
ination by National Convention at Min
neapoliS. He has lifted the Nation high
er in greatness, power and dignity, and
we instruct the delegates this day elect
ed to give him their earnest and un-
swerving support by working and vot-
ing for his denomination, so long as his
name is before the convention"
After the reports had been read, ex-
Congressman White, of the Twelfth dis
trct. took exception to the resolutions
endorsing Harrison. He said II the
President had conducted himself as he
should there would have been no oppo-
sition at this time. At this point Capt.
Whites voice was drowned in Kisses.
Congressman Cheadle came to his
assistance and told the convention that
Capt. White was a Republican, who
four years ago, received 1,400 votes
more than Mr.. Harrison. Capt. White
then proceeded amid Kisses. "What
has President Harrison done?" asked
Mr. White.
Mr.. Mcdonald, of Ft. Wayne, moved
to strike out the resolution binding the
delegates to vote for President Harri-
son. but Chairman Sayre refused to en-
tertain the motion. Amid great con-
fusion, the motion to adopt the report
OF the committee was put and carried.
About half the 12S district delegates
voted against the resolution.
After some further routine business
the convention adjourned.
Everything" shouted the conven-
tion.
In spite of the Kissing, Capt. White
continued: 81 have no personal differ
enceS with President Harrison, but do
not think the Indiana delegases should
go TO Minneapolis with their hands
tied"
The following delegates at large to
the National convention were elected:
Richard Thompson, of Terre Haut; ex-
Congressman S. j. Peele, of Indian
