COMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS.

MINNEAPoLIs, June 9-The credentials
committee this morning again resumed
the laborious task of passing upon the con-
tested seats, and coutipued in session re-
gardless of the national convention. Moth
ing was done during the morning in refer
ence to the Alabama delegates at-large, in
whose cases the adm inistratlon men COM
pletely surprised their opponents by seat
ing the Harrison delegates. A motion to
reconsider in the case of the four Alabama
delegates at-large was laid on the table
Under parliamentary rules, this would
end the matter, except by fight. The
first case taken up today was the Fifth
Alabama district. and the dlegaetes seated
by the national executive committee were
confirmed in their seats without division.
In the Second and Fourth districts of
Louisiana the administration delegates
were seated by viva voce vote. There
was close vote when it came to the Fifth
Louisiana district, but the Warmoth
crowd, by vote of % to %, dowued the
Kellogg or anti-adm uistration, faction.
The vote was not strictly partisan. This
completed Louisiana, the net result being
anti Harrison and Harrison delegates
seated, IL gain of 4 for the administration,
compared with the action of the national
committee. In the Fourth Maryland dis
trict, by a viva voce vote, Buntine and
Clay were displaced and the contestants
seated. This is probably gain OF one for
Blaine, although the preference of the
seated delegates is not known positively.

IHE BL LAlNE CONFERENCE.

MINNEAPOLIS. June 9.-It was in the
small hours Of the morning-jndeed, oDly
IL short time before the dawn-before the
secret conference in the headquarters of
the Colorado delegation came to close
Chairman Clarkson Of the national COM
mittee Ex-Governor Foraker OF Ohio, Sen
ators Teller and Wolcott of Colorado, Sen
ator Washburn of Minnesota, ex-senator
Platt of New York and Vincent A. Taylor
of Ohio were only a few of the prominent
Republicans who were called into this
council. Emissaries were dispatched in
every direction to sound the leaders of the
state delegations and summon them to the
august presence of this council, which was
to direct the movements OF today'S con-
venton. To the Harrison delegates from
the state of Iowa the temptation was held
out that if the % votes of the Hawkeye
state could be swung solidly into the col
umn for Senator Allison, their fayorite
sou, there Was IA likelihood that the dele
gates from Delaware and scattering dele
gates from all over the country would raj
ly 10 his support and give him Il slgnif'
can't following on the ballot.
1t was the evident intention of the Blaine
managers to bring out AS many fayorite
sons as possible in those states where
otherwise the Harrison forces would have
the best of the contest on the first ballot.
In this wav it was hoped that such Il fol
lowing might be drawn off from the presl-
dent as 10 place the administration candi-
date so far short of Majority on the first
ballot that it would resulG in his hasty
retirement from the race. The Harrison
men of the Ohio delegation were also in
vited to this council, and led by its chief
to the peaks overlooking the political field,
and the vast domain Of possibility pointed
out to them Ill case they should desert the
president and rally TO the support of Will
lam Mckinley or John Sherman OF the
state OF OHIO. But it is now on record that
this diplomacy proved suf1icient to arouse
the state pride of the delegates to the ex-
tent of indicating that Harrison's cause
would not be deserted by the Harrison
men today in an attempt TO summon to
the leadership their fayorite son, although
leading Harrison men Were advocating
such Il course

THE HATCH BILL

WASHINGTON, June 9-The Hatch anti
option bill is going 10 have hard time of
il in the senate. Even members of the
house who rushed it Through under the
suspension of the rules admit that it ought
to he very materially amended As it is it
is IL very drastic measure, and viii bsve
to undergo more or less scrutiny ut the
hands Of the senate. The grain dealers i'll
Chicago and other market points have
written to senators whom they know per
sOnally, giving them Arguments against
the passage OF the bill. and urging them
to try 10 persuade other sena. ors. 1t is
probable that the senate comm! ttea before
taking any action Will give the opponents
to the bill a bearing. Amos Cummings, II
member from New York, said yesterday
that he had made inquiry as to tue probl-
bility of the bills fate III the senate. As
the result of that inquiry, he predicted
with confidence that the bill would never
become law.

qualifications for the position of delegate
for Oklahoma, and, while ne is not Can

one of which is the foundation of a fortune
to the occupant.
A nervous gentleman returning from
the reservation says that the indians are
making threats against their new neigh
bors. He derived his Information from
signs which Cheyenne made to him. The
Indian, he says, approached him while he
was driving home. The Indian held up
tour fingers, then made forward move
ment, accompanied with an active move
ment of the arms, and made noise with
his mouth which can be nearest represent

of bullets. An unlettered cowboy inter
preted it differently. He said that the
