bama case and on the substitute offered
by Mr. Filley.
Mr.. Coggswell replied TO Mr.. Miller
and moved the previous question.
Massachusetts,, Illinois. Maryland. West
Virginia and New Jersey seconded the
demand for the previous question.
Mr.. Quay was recognized, and was
greeted with applause. He asked the
chair TO define the effect of adopting the
previous question in this case. The
chairman explained that the demand
would apply to the majority and the
two minority reports. On the demand
OF the gentleman from New York the
question would be divided. Mr., Quay
insisted ON knowing what the effect
would be on the other portion of the re-
port There were some portions to
which the minority had made written
report, and on which they wished to
make some change. The chairman
again explained.
The chair then called for the vote on
the previous question. There was q
chorus of s'ayes" and few faint mays"
and amid applause the chair announced
the vote carried.
The chair then announced that the
first question was ON the substitution
report on the AtADHIlA case. On re-
quest of Mr. Hiscock unanimous con-
sent was given TO take vote first on
seating the uncontested delegates The
question of seating them was carried.
Then the vote was taken on the min.
ority report. The viva voce vote left
the chair and the convention in doubt,
but on division there seemed so large
q majority in favor of the minority re.
port that there were cheers from the
gallery. There We're many cries of "call
the roll" and finally, amid great con
fusion, the chairman began to poll the
delegations, while the secretaries pre-
pared the tally sheets. Meantime the
Blaine men were smiling broadly, while
Hon. John e. New was explaining TO
group on the platform that this could
not be considered test vote.
There was an interval of fully ten
minutes. Then the chairman raped
the convention to order and the secre.
taries began the call.
The vote on the motion to substitute
the minority for the majority report
from the committee on credentials re-
suited: Ayes, 4234; nays, 463. This is
victory for the Harrison forces.
The vote ON adoption of the majority
report in the Alabama case resulted 476
ayes to 365 nays.
Chairman Foraker, at o'clock this
morning, presented the platform. II
was read section by section, and adopted
by unanimous vote.

versity of South Dakota, delivered the

said:
"The committee on credentials is still
in session. 1t has been diligently at
work and has achieved reasonable pro-
gress. IL hopes to be able TO report in
full tonight at s, and asks further
time"
General Sewell, of New Jersey, was
Immediately on his feet. Since no busi-
ness could be done until the committee
was ready to report he moved that the
convention take recess until 8 o'clock.
Mr.. Cullom had tried to interrupt
General Sewell, but the chairman
stopped him. Then Mr.. Cullom asked
that, pending the motion, the conven-
tion receive resolution from him on
the Worlds fair.
A Worlds Fair Resolution.

olution, which was ordered read. 1t was

A Long Wrangle Over the Creden-
tial Committees Report.
MINNEAPOLIS, June 10.-At last nights
session the band played the delegates
into their seats, but Wagner seemed to
have little enthusiasm, and even the
very thin ''gavotte" did not draw them
together rapidly enough to prompt an
early assembly.
Chairman Mckinley was in his seat
early. He sat tanning himself with
vigor, looking about the hall and wait
ing until there were enough delegates
in their places to warrant him in bring
ing his gavel down and calling the con-
vention to order. Warner Miller came
upOn the platform and sat beside the
chairman, their heads close together
and both of them tanning vigorously
for time. There was no prayer in the
order of the evenings business. DIR.
Brush is supposed to have opened the
convention for the entire day.
1t was $50 when Clerk johnson took
the platform and said in a hoarse voice,
announcement He paused dramat-
ically, and then reapeated, Announce
mentr' The calling of some kilograms
followed. Two minutes later Chairman
Mckinley brought down his gavel.
Chauncey Depew was on his feet in
stantly to announce that this was the
03d birthday Of Colonel Dick Thompson,
of Indiana. He did it in neatly turned
speech, which was received with ap-
plause, and moved that the congratula-
tions OF the convention be extended to
Colonel Thompson.
The motion was carried unanimously,
and Mr.. Depew escorted the veteran to
the platform, where he made a brief
speech, closing with eulogy of the Nc
Kinley bill.
The chairman said if there was no OBJ
lection he would recognize the right of
the committee on rules to present new
resolution. Chairman Bingham came
forward and read q resolution providing
that the Grand Army veterans should
be admitted TO the hall and vacant
seats. 1t was adopted unanimously.
Mr.. Carter, of Pennsylvania, was rec
ognized and sent to the desk communi-
cation from Titusville, which by unani-
nous consent was read. 1t stated:
ssOur citizens earnestly request MS to
have you notify the people of the coun-
try through public announcement In

appreciated unless public attention is
directed to in some significant way"
The letter was received without &C
ton.
Then the chairman announced the
regular order Of business TO be the re-
port from the committee on credentials.

and made verbal report. rs follows:

April 8, 1812--eighty years ago to
morrow--Louisiana was admitted
into the Union as State. This was
che 6rst slice take from the famous
Louisiana purchase of 1903 to con-
stitute State. The inhabitants of
the region had undergone a severe
experience, as, during. the thirty six
years following the cession of Louisi-
ana by France to Spain in 1852, they
had been ruled by an iron hand -
Within three months after the admis-
sion of the State into the Union war
was declared against Great Britain,
and before the close of that struggle
the British attack upon New Orleans
and its mastery repulse by Andrew
Jackson were to become famous in
history.
