COMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS.

MTNNEAPOLIS, June S-Yhe committee
on credentials had not up to IL O'Clock
passed upon single one Of the contested
seats, aud the chairman of the committee
General Cogswcll of Salem. Mass. re-
ported TO the convention this morning that
no progress had been made. This threw
the credentials report over for day, and
postponed the permanent roll on which
baliotinS must proceed. To the Harrison
men this WAS not pleasant fact, for II is
useless to conceal the fact that the admin
iStration forces are anxious to move things
ana force a declaration by an open ballot
and thus put on record those delegates who
are not open and aVowed advocates of the
pres dent, and are inclined TO stay in the
doubtful column.
The administration leaders were worsted
last night in their efforts TO keep the Gre
dentiais committee at work until il could
reach a decision, but today they Jared a
little better, perhaps because The Blaine
men did not want II make another fight;
Tor the committee decided 10 continue in
session and hear the Alabama case, while
the chairman went TO the convention to
report
The Blaine people met with a surprise
this afternoon IL the committee. They
found counter-plan at work To defeat
their purpose to approve the proceedings
OF the national committee IN the matter OF
contested seats, and when A vote was taken
on the delegates at-large and the district
delegates of Alabama contested; they
found themselves in minority, after hay-
ing confidently looked 10 victory IN all
the contests, a previous test vote having
shown that they were IN 4 majority of six
votes. IC Was only by one vote by which
they lost, and subsequently they pulled
themselves together and carried "a motion
TO al jOur1, leaving another motion 10 re
consider pending.
The Blaine men on the committee said
that IL was a setback, hut predicted thar
things would come out all right in the
end. and that before the report WIS pre-
pared for submission 10 the convention, il
would be found that they were again In
the nla jority- They said that tonight the
fight would be renewed, and that they
would carry their point and seat the anti
MOsely faction in Alabama. who had been
given the seats by the national committee
The Alabama contest WAS again taken
up upon re assembling. but was postponed

BLAINE AND HARRISON.

Boston. June S.-Mr Blaine spent the
forenoon today quietly in his apartments
at the Hotel Brunswick, but refused to see
newspaper men. He sent word to the AS
sociated Press reporter that he would not
leave for Bar Harbor today.
BOSToN, June S.-EX-Secretary Blaine
accorded an interview TO a Post reporter
late this evening. Being asked the reason
for his resignation from the cabinet, the
eX-secretary said
Il shall have TO refer you to the other
side for an answer to that question"
DO YOU mean Mr.. Harrlson?"
Certainly" was the reply; but no fur
ther statement in connection with that
subject could be elected from him, The
eX- secretary declined to state whether he
would accept the nomination for. the pres
ideucy. It is understood that Mr.. and
Mrs. Blaine will leave for Bar Harbor in
the morning.
WASHINGTON, June s. Affairs at the
White House were very quiet today. The
president received copies of the Associated
Press report from the convention and also
a number OF kilograms from friends in
Minneapolis. They were evidently of an
encouraging character, as their receipt
caused a general feeling of cheerfulness to
uervade the mansion. All the members OF
The cabinet called on the president at
various times. Representatives Funston
and Martin also had interviews with the
president.

RIOIOuS EACTIONS.

MINNEAPoLIs. June S-A good-Sized riot
took place tonight in the rotunda OF the
West hotel between the Blaine and Harri-
son forces. The younger men or the
Blaine faction had planned to parade the
streets this evening with banuers OF the
plumel knight, headed by the various
Blaine delegations bands. The Harrison
men heard of the intended demonstration,
and, al hough they did not advise coun-
ter-demoustration, the younger element
determined that the president and his
cause should not be lost sight OF.
Both factions turned out and marched
through the streets of the city and finally
both headed for the rotunda OF the West
hotel. There they met and marched
around in circles 10 the tune of dlscord-
ant yells and rival shouts for Blaine and
Harrison. At the head of the Blaine col
umn was a banner carried by an Indiana
man, bearing the inscription: IF Blall
is nominated he will Carry Indiana by IL,
O00" Another Blaine man carried ban
ner bearing the still more irritating IN
scriptiou, III Harrison IS nominated he
will lose Indiana by 20 900.
These banners excited the ire of the fl
rery Younger Harrison men of lndiana.and
"A sudden rush was made, and before the
Blaine people had an opportunity to de-
feud their colors the two banners were
pulled down and torn to pieces, Instantly
the Blaine people retaiiated by an on
slaught on the Harrison forces, and their
banners bearing the portrait or the presi-
dent were also puled down, torn TO pieces
and trampled under foot.
OF course, ali this provoked great deal
of bad feeling, and for time it seemed as
though there would be general tight.
There was "A great deal of scutfliug and two
or three tiStic encounters, but u real riot
was happily averted.

THE COMING COTTON CROP.

ATLANTA. Ga June S-There is such a
lively interest manifested in the possibili-
ties of the cotton crop that an effort to Oh
tain a conservative estimate, based OH the
undoubted facts of the situation, is given
by Mr. s. NJ. Inman. That well known
cotton exporter said:
"The growing crop of cotton has reached
a point at which we can begin TO arrive at
some data which are reasonably correct.
81. The falling off of the use of the fer
tilzers of 20O,0 tons makes Il certain de-
crease from the past drop on this score OF
$50 0JO bales.
- The inundation OF from 100000 to
5OO, 900 acres of cotton lands In the Missis-
sippi valley at this late date makes almost
certain loss of $50 COO bales as compared
with last year.
.3. Should it be settled that there is
decrease in acreage of II per cent, a. com
pared with last, this Will create "A shortage
of 1000. 600 bales, III many cases the

best land, aud the average land abandoned
for cotton, it Is said, represents AN average

fact that the crop now growing will easily

THE CONWAY HOTEL FIRE

CONWAY SPRINGS, Kan. June s. -
Especial l-Yesterday morning the Pacific
hotel, an old landmark Of this city, was
burned to the ground. The fire started in
one of the upper rooms of the building. 1t
was discovered first by the engineer of the
passenger train which had just arrived
from the east. He at once gave the alarm
and in less than half an hour two or three
hundred people were viewing the scene of
destruction.
The cause of the fire was the explosion
of lamp in one of the upper rooms. Mr..
S. S, Stivers. the proprietor, was in the
room where the fire originated and threw
upon the flames bucket of water. He
then went down stairs for another pail,
and when he returned the whole room
was on fire. The boarders all es-
capped. One Mr. Harding escaped through
an upper window on to the veranda. The
building was owned by Mrs. Alma
Churchill, who at present is visiting
friends in Denver, Col. The building was
insured tor lS00 and the contents for $780,
Mr.. S. S. Stivers lost everything he had.
He was working up nice trade, and was
well liked by his patrons. The topic of
the town now is, Where will the next
hotel be located?
