cnce 10 the Wishes ol senator DAVIS OF
Minnesota.
Among the matters brought up this
morning was II resolution of sympathy for
the oppressed Jews in Russia. This was
carried. Equal success was not dealt out
to propositions looking to a restriction of
the Presidential term of four years. The
latter resolution was laid ON the table in
short order.
MiNHEAPoLis, June 0.-Bright sunshine
was struggling through the colorcd win
dows in melowed rays and the majestic
folds of the star spanged banner were
gently swaying 10 and fro in the balmy
breezes of typical spring morning when
the delegates to the national convention
slowly strolled into the hall. II was nearly
II o'clock when j. SlOat Fassctt, the ex-
temporary chairman, now u lay member
of tile New York delegation, marched into
the hall. But that his popularity had not
taken flight with his ileeting authority
was amply eyinccd in the warm ovation
which he received.
A little later II gray-haired and white
bearded man of digniiicd mein strolled
down the aislts with precise military
air. Cheers and q salute from II, 600 hands
welcome the gallant Malone of Virginia.
Quickly n good -natured rivalry sprung
up and by the vigor of the applause was
measured the popularity of all the great
party leaders. Senator Cullom of Illinois
received a generous tribute from the liar-
rison forces and moment later the
Blaine people responded with wild cheers
of welcome to ex-senator Warner Miller.
The hall to-day was oppressiyely hot for
the first time. 1t was hardly the fault of
the hall, however, for outside the sultri-
ness was ten-fold more oppressive. Big
fans were waving throughout the hail.
and the delegates and spectators presented
the appearance of forest stirred by u
breeze. The Illusion was only to the eye,
for not zephyr was stirring except what
was created by the constant switching of
the thousands of fans.
Warner Miller of New York mopped his
brow in the front scat of the main aisle,
while jlst over the way, in the Ponnsyl-
vania delegation, dozens of leading politi-
clans acquired n bizarre dining room aspect
by tucking handkerchiefs around their
collars like napkins, the purpose being,
however, simply TO catch the perspiration
due to the perplexing situation and tile
weather.
Prayer will be offered by the Rev.
William Brush, chancellor of the Uni
versity of South Dakota" said Chairman
Mckinley when order was obtained. After
the prayer the chairman called for the re-
port of committee on credentials.
A round of applause greeted Chairman
Cogswell Of the commute, as he arose.
"The committee is still at work, said he,
'and has made little progress. 1t hopes to

| General Sewell of New Jersey, al once
moved that recess be taken until S
| o'clock in order To give the committee the
| necessary time, but yielded for u resolution
of senator Cullom, endorsing the Worlds
Fair and recommending a national appro-
printion therefor.
This resolution was referred to the
committee on resolutions and i'm
meiiatey thereafter an Illinois
delegate introduced a resolution pro-
yiding that all Grand Army men
| shnll be admitted to standing room in the
hall and permitted to remain during tho
sessions, and to occupy all seats remaining
yucunt 30 minutes after the beginning OF
each session. This resolution was referred
to the committee on rules and order Of
business.
The question then reverted upon General
Scwelrs motion for adjournment until $
o'clock this evening, but The Harrison men
objected To this and Mr.. Lawson of New
York, demanded division upon the
vote and there were cries for aspeech from
Ingalls, and others.
