Leaders OF Different. Factions Holding
Secret Consultations.
MINNEAPoIIs Minn., June THE pro-
longed suspense ana uncertainty In the presi-
DENTAL situation is having telling effect
tonight on the enthusiastic crowds In at
tendance upon the convention. While fire.
quent conferences are being held by the lead
ers behind bolted doors the followers Of both
factions gather in knots about the lobbies
and corridors Of the hotels anxiously await
ing information which may throw some
light on the situation, which appears to be
hopelessly uncertain.
The chief interest for the moment Is cen
tered IN proceedings OF the committee on
credentials. Its decision is expected to real
ize gain Of some forty votes to the faction
which succeeds in controlling the majority Of
the convention. So close appears the con-
both parties are making q determined fight
10 secure the whole Of the delegates.
Anxious TO Postpone BsilotIng.
The Blaine people claim that they have
everything to gain by the pOstponement Of
the balloting and for that reason IT Is under
stood they will endeavor to delay the perma-
nent organization of the convention as far as
possible. The Harrison leaders deny that
they are losing ground by postponement and
are disposed not to force tho organization
lest such action be construed as an evidence
OF weakening on their part.
The Blaine people apparently accomplished
their purpose OF delay in twice securing the
postponement of definite action by the COM
mittee OH credentials. Tho committee Is
making slow progress with It's work. There
seems to be no special haste in proceeding
with the contested cases and the hall outside
the national committee rooms Is thronged
with about three score OF men who want to
know whether they will have seats in the
convention or not.
The committee met immedia lately after the
adjournment this morning, pursuant to di-
rection OF the convention, and organized. A
poll of the committee would indicate that the
Blaine men are in the majority, though the
chairman selected Is General Cogswell Of
Massachusetts, one OF the staunchest OF the
Harrison men. After getting organized the
committee concluded to adjourn TO meet at 4
o'clock this afternoon.

Governor Yarmouth Of Louisiana and his
followers and one of the factions in Missis-

Yesterdays Proceedings of tho General
Synod.
AsBURY PARK, N. j., June 7.-At
today's session OF the general synod
of the Reformed church in America
the report of the committee on for
eign missions recommended that the first
Sunday in November be celebrated by the
general assembly with special prayers in all
the churches on behalf of the cause of for
egn missions, and that the following Sab
bath be observed in strict denial for the bene-
tit Of the same ause.
The last recommendation was strongly op-
posed upon the ground OF too much imitation
of the Catholic church.
The anniversary of the homo mission was
observed this evening. A number Of speeches
were made
Action upon the proposed federal union
with the Reformed church in the United
States was postponed.

LONDON. June 7.-The Post commenting
on the methods OF American politicians says {:
"Blaine's letter of resignation is more like q
notice to the president to quit the white
house than the statement of great officer of

The Times says: Blaine's action IS the
public announcement that he is candidate
for the confidence of his party"

means follows that either Mr.. Harrison or
Mr.. Blaine will be nominated. Mr.. Blaine
