ILLINOIS Is FOR PALMER.
But the Votes Will Go to Cleveland II
New York Wants Him.

SPRINGFIELD, April 26-The presidential stu
alton is the principal topic of conversation
among delegates to the Democratic state conven-
ton, which meets tomorrow. All day long the
Palmer and Cleveland factions have been busily
at work, aud tonight the senator's friends
discovered that the ex-president's adherents
had practically captured q majority of the COM
mittee on resolutions This created excite
ment for time, and there 10 every prospect that
in place OF a harmonious convention of having
q fight on the floor over the Endorsement Of one
or the other of the distinguished gentlemen. The
perplexity is increased owing to the fact that
nobody is really sure whether Palmer expects
unqualified instructions or merely an indorse-
ment Therefore Congressman Cable tele-
graphed him; and late tonight received q reply
in which Palmer says he does not ask absolute
instructions.
He does not wish to antagonize Cleveland,
and to avoid further misunderstanding must re-
fer the whole subject to his friends and to the
convention. As a result of this a COM
promise was practically agreed upon to-
night, providing for Endorsement of
Palmer, but instructing the Illinois delegation
to vote as a unit for Grover Cleveland should
his name at any time be presented by the state
of New York.

TACOMA, April 26.-ISpecial. Mayor Huson
has issued . proclamation, recommending that
all city offices be closed between $50 a. m. and
5p. m, in order that city officials may attend
the special Wednesday Mills revival services.
The issuing of the proclamation is the cause for
much rejoicing among the managers of the
revival meetings. This ID the closing week
OF the revival, which has been successful in the
extreme. As far as possible, without mourning
county expense, the superior courts will ad-
journ over tomorrow, and every effort 10 being
made to suspend business, it was done in
Portland recently during the height of
the revivals conducted by the Rev. B.
Fay Mills. The nine clearinghouse banks de-
cided by vote of to not to close tomorrow.
1t was considered by the majority that the clos
ing OF banks was not necessary for the success
OF the Mills meetings. At Portland similar
action was taken by the banks. The Rev.
Messrs. Patterson and Brown argued before the
clearing house in favor of closing the banks.
The meetings tomorrow will be from $50 .. m.
to II IN. and from $50 to 6p. m.
canvass OF business houses shows that about
one in three proposes to close. Some are indig-
nant a. the mayors proclamation, others object
to the ministers calling upon them and saying
1t would be to their interest to Close this being
interpreted by some to mean that the Minister
ial Alliance would boycott them if they did not
close. Others say 1t is enough to close at 6 p N.
Some members of the clearinghouse thought
clergymen were present today to influence mem
bers. To secure an unbiased expression the
clergymen were requested 10 retire.
