THE MASS MEETING.

MINNEAPoLIS, June THE mass meet
ing at the convention hail tonight under
the auspices Of the state league Of Repub-
lican clubs was attended by fully 10000
people. The rainy weather outside hp-
peAred not to dampen the ardor of the en-
thusiastic Republicans. Upon the plat
form were seated nearly all the most
prominent Republican leaders in attend
ance upon the convention. and i'll the vast
hall were seated indiscriminately dele
gates, officers of the various Republican
leagues and fair attendance of ladies'.
The meeting surpassed even the conven-
tion proceedings of the day in point of en-
thusiasm and evidences of glee. Frequent
references to Blaine, Harrison, Mckinley,
publicans, evoked the usual manifesto
tions of approval and admiration. The
speakers were about equally drawn from
the two leading factions. and, although
there was much friendly rivalry mani
tested in the cheers and couuter-cheers
there seemed n general desire to maintain
good feeling and harmony.
The meeting was called to order by
John l. Goodenow. president of the Min
nesota state league. The Marquette
Quartette club of Chicago, opened the FRO
ceedingS with Il campaign song to the air

an encore responded with a political
hymn, beginning, "Cleyeland's hoodoo as
sure as you are born"
John NJ. Thurston was introduced, and
after the cheers OF welcome had subsiie
addressed the audience. Hon. r. g. Hoar
of Michigan, also addressed the meeting.

The political enthusiasm was boiling as
the time for the assembling of the national

itself in bands marching and shouting.
The streets in the vicinity of the " est

war cries of political organizations. The

FOREIGN NOTES.

BERLIN, June 7-Chancellor Won Caprivi
has written a letter declaring that the
holding of an international exhibition in
Berlin In 1895 is out of the question. The
German government, he says, Is bound 10
oppose the project because it might inter
fere with Germany's exhibit at the wor i'd S
fair in Chicago. Indeed. some German
firms have already Withdrawn their prom
ises to exhibit at Chicago because they
prefer exhibiting in Berlin. The commit
tee having the project in charge has ad
journed until autumn. 1t is believed that
the government favors the holding Of an
exhibition in Berlin in the year 1905.
LONDON, June lin addressing Ma
tional meeting at Bradford, John Dillon
said: "The Irish demand the power 10
make and administer their own laws. They
also iusist upon home rule as the first
plank of the Gladstonian platform. other
wise there will be split in the Gladston-
ian party" Mr. Dillon also suggested,
with a view to averting bad blood in the
Irish elections, that board of FILTRATION
be appointed To apportion seats between
the Parnellites and anti-Parnellites.
LONDON, June 7.-The ST. Petersburg
correspondent of the Times says: The
newspapers here warn the government
agaipst oyerhaste in allowing unlimited
expectations of grain, although the crop
prospects are improving IL is probable
that the committee having the matter in
charge will hold another meeting before
submitting their decision for imperial
sanction.
NANCY, June president Carnot has
arrived here to attend the gymnastic fetes.
and was enthusiastically received. Russian
flags have prominent places in the decora-

scriptions are visible. At Bbrle- Due the
president was awaited upon by the bishop
of Verdun, who declared himself and all
the priests in his diocese loyal adherents
of the republican form of governments.

THE CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE.

MINNEAPOLIS, June 7-Midnig ght.-The
chief interest for the moment Is conferred
IN the proceedings of the committee on
credentials. Its decisions are expected to
realize a gain of some 40 votes TO the fac
tion which succeeds in controlling ma
iority of the convention. SO close appears
the contest between the two elements for
control that both sides are making a de-
termiued fight TO capture the whole OF the
delegates in dispute.
The Blaine people claim that they have
everything to gain by a postponement of
the balloting. and for that reason 1t IS
understood that they will lndeaEor to
delay the permanent organization OF the
convention as long as possible. The Har-
lison leaders deny that they are losing
ground by a postponement, and are dis
posed not to force an organization, lest
such action be construed as an evidence of
weakness. TheBlaine people have apparent
~ accomplished their purpose to delay, III
twice securing a postponement OF definite
action by the committee on credentials.
The committee met Immediately after
the adjournment this afternoon and or
ganized. A poll of the committee would
indicate that the Blaine men are in the
majority. though the chairman elected is
General Cogswell of Massachusetts. one of
the staunchest of Harrison men. After
getting organized the committee conclud-
ed TO adjourn 10 meet at o CLOCK. Inc
committee assembled at the appointed
hour, but the only result was an adjourn
ment again to meet this evening at S
o'clock.
The committee reassembled. but if it
continues progress at the same rate at
which it went ahead for the first two
hours. several days will elapse before the
numerous contests before the committee
are settled. AT 10 o'clock tonight the first
contest had not yet been taken up, and all
that had been accomplished was to make
uDa roll of the delegates from the uncon-
tested districts. The probabilities are
that, with possible exception or two, the
decision of the national committee in these
contests will be affirmed by the credentials
committee. Soon after 10 o'clock the COM
mittee adjourned to II o'clock.
During the meeting of the committee
several test votes were taken. At no time
did Harrison's strength exceed twenty.

THE SILVER MEN.

NINNEAPOLIS. June THE membership
of the silver committee or the general
committee on platform is regarded favor
ably by Senator Teller. He knows the
views Of MessrS. Bracket and Cannon, but
General Fairchild is TO him an unknown
quantity. Senator Jones, of course, is an
out-and-out free silver man. The question
with Mr.. Teller and him is who OF the
other three can be brought over to their
way of thinking. Then understand, of
course, that free coinage cannot by any
possibility be obtained as a declaration Of
principle of the Republican party, and the
composition of the committee seems to
make 1t unlikely that anything that the
antl-free coinage men would consent TO
would content Messrs. Jones and Teller.
Mr.. Cannon is probably the most liberal
of the three iu his silver views, but he is
unwilling to take any step in advance Of
the present law. 1t is quite probable
trerefore, that the silver plank viii be

ANOTHER FAKE,

CHICAGO, June IA special dispatch
from Detroit, Mich, says that w. j. Il.

LOYAL Orange Institution OF the United
States, states that he will send the follow

You are authorized to state for me to

any other equally good American on either
ticket, will receive one million and one
fourth votes, none of which will be cast
for Blaine.
"W. J. H. TRAYHER-"
When seen by a reporter about the mat
ter of supporting Mr.. Blaine, Mr.. Trayner
said:
1.-The Orangemen are not prejudicfed po-
htically. They are interested Ill politics
only so far as TO prevent the usurpatlon OF
political power by any religious denomin-
alton. They know no party; but they will
not support Blaine for prasldent. The
principal objection they have to him is
that he has shown partiality to Catholics
in making appointments. He also attended
the high mass celebrated in the capitol
building at Washington over the body of
Senator Barber. He was not opposed by
our order in 1884, but we will vote against
him to man III case he is nominated We
are united and will stand by our colors.

ences lasting late into the night The
| Harrison conference Was attended by
Messrs. Michener and New of Indiana,
! Spoouer of Wisconsin, Jones of Illinois,
Hiscock of New York and other prOmi-
nent men. At the conclusion of the con-
ference it was stated that the reports re-
ceived by the committee from the various
delegations showed that the president had
made substantial gains during the day and
that the Harrison vote pledged tonight is
larger than since the beginning of the
convention. A most encouraging
gain was reported from New York, Sena-
tor Hiscock having stated that poll OF
the delegation had been made tonight and
that the vote showed a gain of ten votes
for Harrison, making thirty as against the
claim of twenty made heretofore by the
presidents friends

president would have fourteen votes from
that state, although the Blaine people
insist :hat all but four are now lii line for
their favorite.

sion at late hour and nothing definite

tion to proceed until they have ascertained
the exact strength of the various candl-
dates The belief of the Blaine people evI

the chances of President Harrison's sue
