held a mass-meeting in the Trement

ed the punishment of the perpetrators.
They also demanded that the
word "white" be eliminated from the
Chinese exclusion bill. Among
the speakers were Bishop 4. Grant.
of Texas, and Geo. w. Bryant, of St.

have met here not to condone wrong or
shield over the acts committed by men,
berS OF our race against the States or
municipalities where they live. We
are here for the purpose of protesting
against this promiscous lynching,
burning, etc, whether it takes place in
the South or in New York State. If
the Republican party cannot take this
mighty giant coercion by the throat
and throttle it to death, the negro had
better leave that party (intense cheer

praying time was over and that the
reaping time was near. The result
may be, he said, ''the annihiliation of

WASHINGTON, June S.-Mr. Hatch
called up the agricultural appropria.
tlon bill The bill appropriates So
1870, ,495, being $322.342 more than
the appropriation for the present year.
He explained the bill and said that the
principle increase in expense was
100000 for carrying out the meat
inspection act of March 3. 1891. The
ACT was entirely satisfactory and the
embargo has thus been removed against
American pork and American meats
nov which had free entry to several
European markets. The transfer of
the weather bureau from the war to
the agricultural department largely
increased the aggregate appropriation
Tor the latter d partment and the oper-
atlons of the bureau were entirely SAT.

production of rain fall $4,000 is ap-
rropriated.

tlals. There are sixty votes involved
IN the contests pending before that
committee. In the Louisiana delega-
ton the contest involves twelve of the
sixteen delegates; in Alabama ID dele.
gates are involved In the States Of
Mississippi and Texas, in the for
mer six delegates being involv-
ed and in the latter the entire
delegation. The political signif-
igance of the Texas contest however
will hardly have any special bearing
on the result as the decision not to
recognize the "white mans Republican
party eliminates them from considera-
ton In this connection. In Maryland,
two delegates; in Kentucky two; in
North Carolina, five; in South Carroll
ma, the whole delegation of sixteen.
In Georgia two delegates are at issue,
and in Utah two delegates. In the
latter case there is no doubt but that
the Blaine men will be seated. The
Minnesota delegation refused to
give Its endorsement to Governor
Plllsbury's resolution providing that
the presidential term be extended to
SIX years and that no president shall
be eligible to succeed himself, thus in
volvlng an amendment to the constitu-
ton. 1t was evident from the manner
OF the reception accorded Gov. Nc
hlnley at the convention that he is
prime favorite both to the delegates and
spectators. The onward movement
of the Mckinley boom received check
this afternoon in the shape of a report
that the Ohio delegation was divided
between Mckinley and Sherman.
Very little betting is being done on
the outcome of the convention.
Sold TO Harrison But May Sell Again.
Special to the State Chronicle
ST. PAUL, Mimi, June S.-Tbe
question is, will the Southern dele
gates sell out more than once? Office
holders, white and black, are for Har
rlson. The balance OF the Southern
delegates have also been procured for
the administration, and some doubtless
bought with price. "Will they stay
sold or sell out AGAIN." is what every
body asks. If they stand upon the
first sale, Harrison will be nominated;
If Platt and Quay can buy them Har-
rison is defeated. SO far White.
Cook and other officeholders keep 8
OF North Carolina's % votes, but they
are afraid they can't hold long.
The Blaine men are delaying, hoping
for a break in the Southern vote.
There are six contests, all from the
South. The force bill is the leading
issue. every allusion to it is cheered.
But for his opposition to it, Blaine
would be nominated quick. If he is
defeated, his opposition to the force
bill will do it.

MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, June 9
(2:Oo a. m. The committee on plat.
form was in session for several hours
tonight and after drawing up draft
of the principal planks referred them
to committee OF seven for revision.
lhe tull committee gave a hearing to
Susan b. Anthony on the woman
suffrage question. The committee on
revision was in session until a late
hour tonight when it reported the
result Of IFS laoGrs To the general
body. The platform will not
be long one. The record of the
National administration will be re-
1erred to in approving terms, although
unless the document is revised again
IN the morning, the name of President
Harrison will not be mentioned specifi.
cally. The silver plank in substance
favors the Legislative departments of
the government adopting such meas
ures as will make the gold and silver
and paper dollar equal in debt and
tax paying power. The plank on
elections reiterates the party demand
tor an honest ballot and fair count.
On tie question of temperance there
IS brief plank advocating all proper
means tending to lessen the evil of
lntemperance and promote morality.
The sub committee on MISCELLANY of
the committee on resolutions has
agreed to report favorably on the
resolution asked for by the Nicaragua
Canal convention last week. The re-
port will be to the effect that the Nj
caragua canal would be of vast impor.
tance to the United States in time of
war and of Incompatible benefits to its
productions and commerce, and that #
should be built by American capital
and controlled by the United States.
The tariff plank by the committee is
the same, with a slight modification, as
the tariff plank in 'SS-setting forth
strict republican principles. It
says: 1--WE denounce the efforts
OF the democratic majority of the house
OF representatives to destroy our tariff
laws by piece meal and we ask the
people for their Judgment thereon"
At this hour the committee has adopt
ed the planks submitted by the sub
committees on tariff, silver elec-
tions and foreign relations and
are considering the recommends
tons OF the subcommittee on miscella-
neous matters. As to the Worlds
Fair Exposition the platform will com
mend 1t to the generous support of
the people and to such aid by Congress
as may be necessary to ensure the sue
cess OF the enterprise. The probabili-
ties are that the committee will not
complete the consideration of the plat
form before 4 a. m.
