THE CONVENTION HALL.
Elaborate Arrangements as to Beauty
Utility and Cow venience.

MINNEAPOLIS, June 5.-The adornment
of the convention hall was completed to-
day. The decoration in their ensemble
display all the genius of Worth. They are
in no sense elaborate, but are dignified
and becoming. The dome of the hail is
supported by series of columns, around
which has been gathered chocolate-colored
drapery entwined with sheafs of Min
nesota wheat
The quadrilateral in which the delegates
will sit is Immediately in front of the
chairman's platform, and the space be-
tween the central columns on either side
have been festooned with the national coll
ors, the folds of the flags divided and held
in the talons Of American eagles. In the
rear of the platform the same decoration
prevails, and on either side each column
has been surrounded with old gold cloth,
displaying sheayes of wheat on which are
perched eagles appearing on the eve of
flight. Suspended from the pillars skirt
ing the seats assigned to the delegates are
the shields and banners of the states. As
the chairman faces the audience, the arms
of the state of New York wall be on the
right, and next TO the Empire state is the
Pennsylvania motto. Then follow 10 the
right the arms of Vermont, Ala
bama. South Dakota, Missouri Massa-
chusetts, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan,
California, Virginia, Maryland. Georgia,
Maine, Indiana aud Ohio. In
the rear of the above the arms OF the
Older states are exhibited. The delegates
at-large, national committeeman and
alternates will be readily recognizable.
The arrangement of the seats assigned to
spectators surpasses that at any other con-
yentIOn.
1t IS thought that the audience which
will attend Mondays concert will be the
most interesting congregation Of persons
ever assembled in this country. The con-
vention building VIII be equipped with
restaurant and divers commercial facilities
| for the comfort OF delegates and for the
newspaper men in the rapid transmission
| of news. The city is becoming we'll
| crowded tonight. and there is considerable
| difficulty in obtaining suitable accomno-
| dations. The delegates, however, have
| been proyid ed for.

MISNEAPoIIs, June 5.-The sanctity of
man today In the mad whirlpool of po-
ltical affairs men forgot their Christian
faith and remembered only their political
creed; forgot their Savior and worshiped
at the shrine of political idols. While the
ministers in the neighboring churches
were leading in prayer the corridors of
the hotels were filled with a seething mass
of excited humanity, cheering and coun-
ter-cheering for Harrison and Blaine.
The excitement continued all day, and
the political enthusiasm hourly inc .eased.
1t has be.n day of Kaleidoscope changes,
and it is difficult at its end to get the true
measure of the political strength of the
two great factions into which the party is
divided. The administration element is
strong in leadership. The full force of the
sentiment IN connection with Blaine's
resignation has been expended, and to
close observer it is apparent that the Har-
rison forces are as strong as they were
twenty -four hours ago. The Blaine peo-
pie say that when the decisive battle
comes Blaine enthusiasm will carry every
thing before it and nominate the distin-
guished son of Maine on the first ballot.
lican conventions of the past twenty-five
years, who have observed the political
atmosphere and have become political
pilots, say tonight that the convention of
1892 is unique in the discrepancy which
it presents between the claims of the can
didates The Harrison managers officially
announced tonight that the president will
receive $50 votes. while the Blaine Lead -s
maintain with lofty confidence that their
candidate will receive three-fifths ct the
votes of the convention, and that he Will
be nominated by acclamatlon. To a cas-
ual observer it is too plain that a bitter
feeling is being engendered every hour,
and that with Blaine and Haf-ison the
result of the convention will leave behind
it regrets, disappontments and hostility
toward the successful candidate This
feeling has given rise to rumors Of dark
horses and compromise candidates. The
name most frequently mentioned among
the list of dark horses is Mckinley. The
special Endorsement which will be gil
the Mckinley bill makes the author De
culiarly fitting candidate. Alger's name
is still the watchword of the Michigan del
egatlon and will certainly be presented to
the convention. Certain Iowa deles ates
are looking longingly for an occaA /,
which will justify the presentation OF sne
name of Senator Allison. Senator CuiloO,
of Illinois, jeremiah Rusk, of Wisconsin,
and Whitelaw Reid, of New York, are g.
freely discussed.
A telegram was received from Alger to-
night in which he stated he did not desire
to be considered antagonistic to the candi-
dacy of Blaine.

through the trestle into the swollen mill
stream beneath. Several miles above the
bridge is dam, which gave way shortly be-
fore midnight, and, tearing along, bore
with it large sawmill. 1t is supposed that
the mill struck the trestle just as the
loaded cars were on it. The bridge is a
new one and made of oak and iron. The
curve in the road and the darkness together
with the downpour of re in, made it impossi-
BILE for the engineer to notice the washout,
and the engine and twelve of the cars went
over, bearing with them the trainmen, who
were killed. The cars were loaded with pig

THE BANCROFT LAUNCHED.
She is the New Practice v Vessel for

duobed her, showed amazing spirit upon her
liberation from the timbers which have
Graded her during her building, and took to
the water literally like duck.
She broke away with such vigor that her
bIue-eyed and fair-haired christener, Miss
Mary Frances Moore, had to act with un-
common liveIiness to smash the bottle over
the vessels steel nose before she rusned away
into Staten Island Sound.
The Bancroft is the smallest vessel of the
new steel navy. The act authorizing her con-
struction was passed on September Z, 1855,
and her purpose was to provide thor
oughly modern war ship in miniature for
the use OF the cadets of the National Naval
Academy. Heretofore the cadets have
cruised annually in the old ship Consteila-
tion, but, while this has given them
practice in steamship and discipline,
it has left their educstion in the hands OF
modern ships and modern armaments to be
got after graduation. The plan was to fit
the steel practice cruiser with every appli-
ance which could be found aboard the best

THE OMAHA CONVENTION.

The Joint Committee Of the Peoples Party and
the Industrial Conference Issue Call for
National Convention.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 25.-The joint
committee in whose charge the matter
was placed by the industrial conference
just ended met this morning, and after an
all day session formal call was issued
in the following terms:
To the people Of the United States:
The national committee of the Peoples
party of the United States, acting in con-
junction with the representatives. of
certain meeting of members of the va
rious organizations Of this country, held
in the city of st. Louis, Mo-, on the gath
day Of February, 1892, respectfully sub
NIT to the people of the United States
the preamble and platform of said labor
organizations of our nation, held on the
22d, 23d and Oath days of February, 1892,
In the city OF st Louis.
The executive committee of the Peo-
ple's party in each state Is charged with
the duty of promulgating this call, and
Of fixing the time, place and method by
which the said delegates shall be chosen.
The basis of representation shall be
four delegates from each Congressional
district, and eight delegates from each
state at large, making the total number
1,776.
We call upon all citizens of the United
States to help US make our principles
triumphant. We believe that If the vot-
ers neglect their duty this year it may
be impossible at any future canvass to
protect the rights Of the people and save
the free institutions of our country. The
voters must protect themselves. They
can expect no one else to defend them.
In the name of the rights OF the people,
the homes Of the land, and the welfare
Of all future generations, we call upon
all honest men to come to our support In
this great contest.

sponSo to every other industry, and thus
advance 10 q happier state Of the people
and higher civilization. We ask, Is it
surprising IL they should look upon the
towns as containing their greatest ene-
mics; sntagonizlng principles that are in
harmony with right, purity and justice,
and which must lead to far more de-
sirable condition of the people, both
morally and intellectually But just for
moment let US reverse our position, and If
the mental vision can penetrate the thick
veil Of selfshness, perhaps another pic
ture would reveal itself to clearer mind
the farmer appearing the enemy Of the
towns, making war upon them, antsgo-
nizing their business interests, irjuring
their families and jeopardlzlng their
homes. We want no division; it will i'm
pede our progress. We want no war
with our fellow msu; it Is relic Of bar
barlsm. But we do want to cultivate
breadth Of mind, liberality and charity.
We must guard against even the sem
blRnce Of hostility toward any industry
or business, and against those who are
engaged therein. We are not warning
against men or parties; but against
evils and existing wrongs, and against
discriminating laws; and also for more
harmonious, healthy condition of society.
That the masses Of the people are dis
contented, and that there Is cause for 1t,
there is no question. We are suffering
from financial embarrassment which ex-
ercises an influence and power like a
large, mighty vortex, whose powerful
suction and wide, capaclouS mouth will
swallow down the largest ship that ever
sailed upon the oceans wave. From all
directions ! see boats, representing every
Industry, drifting towards the vortex.
Some are in the whlrl, others are swal-
lowed out Of sight, while others, although
In great danger, might by united effort
save themselves II they have not lost
their compass, and they will see thai the
magnetic needle is freed from prejudice.
But what do we see? Not unity. But
man Tor bear) tightly graspiDg the throat
OF his fellow man. A struggling mass Of
human beings, each interested only In
saving his own life; and if necessary he
will crush the life out Of his neighbor to
do it. The most important question, and
that which demands the most thorough
and careful consideration, and which
needs the most scientific, wiSest and best
minds of the civilized world, Is, what are
the best methods, and how shall this
great mixed struggling mass Of human
beings In living death be Transformed

patience and valuable space.
