MINNEAPoLIs, June 4-The National
Committee met here before noon, and in
about an hour and quarter had completed
its business. There was some skillful spar
ring, but no open fight between the admins
tration and nti-administration forces The
opposing forces did not present united
ranks, but split on individual propositions,
so as not to make the fight in the National
Committee.
The contested seats were referred to SUBJ
committees, the National Committee not
having time to look into them as body.
The principal subcommittee of seven, con-
sistIng of Quay, New, Fessenden, Scott,
Hansbrough, Hyde and Clayton. was ap-
pointed to have charge of all contests from
Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland,
Mississippi, South Carolina and Texas A
special committee, consisting of Brady, of
Virginia; Conger, of Ohio, and Filley, Of
Missouri, was given charge of the Alabama
contest. The fight over the Utah seats will
be looked into by Messrs. Leland, Hobart
and Warren.
The fight in the Tennessee delegation was
settled quietly, and the threatened rupture
prevented for the time being. Judge Muir
ray appeared and stated that he was a resi-
dent of Tennessee and had never changed.
This LETT no ground on which, under the
usages Of the committee, contest
could be successfully maintained, and it
was therefore decided unanimously that
Judge Murray was entitled to serve out his
term as National Committeeman.

ments
1t was decided to recommend that New
Mexico have six delegates in the conven-
tion instead of two, and that two repre-
sentatives of the Indian Territory be ad-
mitted to the floor of the convention, but
without vote.

the request of the local committee, City

Senator Allison was in his committee
room when the news came, and Senator
Aldrich, hv coincidence, was at his side.
Mr. Allison did not want to talk for publi-
cation, but he is never uncivil enough to re-
fuse point blank, so he said that the news
was q surprise to him, as much so as it was
to ANYBODY. As to the result, he had no
opinion to express. Then he told the story
in his felicitious style, and the moral Of that
story was that no matter what happened to

ONLY ONE FARM IN IT.
All Poor Farm Bids Declared Off but
That of Captain Neeld.
IT is 24O ACRES At $3.50 AN ACRE.
The City Attorney Says All Other Cfers
Were Irregular.
AN INSPECTION TO BE MADE TOMORROW

City Attorney Moreland treated the
Charities Committee to surprise yesterday
afternoon when that body came together to
consider the latest batch of properties offered
for Poor Farm by serving notice by means
Of written communication that only one of
the II proposals made was in accordance
with the terms of the ordinance and the
published advertisement of the city. The
lone exception was the bid of Captain
George Neeld.
His farm is located in South Fayette
township at what is known as Great Bend,
on CHARTERS creek, near the line of the
Panhandle Railroad, and subject to right
of way granted to the CHARTERS Railroad,
which passes through it. 1t is located IA
miles from Union station, contains 240
acres, is undcrlaid with coal which has
never been worked, but the coal taken from
an adjoining farm in the same vein is of e1-
cellent quality.
Good Stone ON the Farm.
There is open On the farm and being
worked a quarry of excellent building
stone The soil, it is claimed, is mostly in
a good state of cultivation and the location
admirably adapted to Poor Farm purposes.
There is frontage on CHARTERS creek of 700
rods. 1t can be purchased for $3.50 an acre.
The Communication of the city attorney
leaves no alternative to the charities councils
but to leave the other farms offered out of
the question and examine into the merits of
this one. Nothing is known about the
Neeld farm except what is stated in the
proposition to sell it to the city. Chief
Elliot stated to the Councils that he had
never examined the farm, though he had
passed over it on the train, and had been
told, since it had been offered to the city,
that it was the finest farm in that part of
the country. From what he had seen he
believed that to be true.
The Committee to Visit the Farm.
The Chief suggested that tomorrow morn
ing be selected by the committee to visit the
farm and determine whetherthe offer should
be accepted. He also suggested that the
City Councils, the Mayor and Controller be
invited by the committee to accompany
them on the trip, and resolution embody-
ing this suggestion was adopted. Those
who intend accompanying the party will
meet at the Chiefs office, on Fourth avenue,
in time to take the 1856 train on the Pan
handle Railroad tomorrow morning.
Captain Neeld, who offers this farm, en-
joys high reputation for honesty and
aightforwardness, and the fact that he is
making the offer seems to set at rest any
suspicion that there is anything connected
with it not fair and above board. As to the
other bids the City Attorney could not be
seen last evening, but Chief Elliot says that
some were not drawn up in proper form
and some were indefinite on the points spe-
officially required in the ordinance and in
the advertisement Two were informally
offered in letters, without any sworn state
ment as to option by which the owners
could be held if the city choose their farms.

this afternoon are calculated to arouse

son of General New, and himself one of the
recognized Harrison managers, said:

anticipated.
Then the Minneapolis Tribune, which has
all along been supporting Harrison and at

that Clarkson and others suggested that tho

M'KINLEY AS DARK HORSE.

He Doesn't Fear the Presidential Lightning,
Blains's OItimatum - Vermont for
Blaine, sure-New Hampshire Doubtful.
CHICAGO, June 4.-The great majority of
the delegates to the Minneapolis Conven-
tion passed through Chicago to-day The
Blaine boomers made great deal of noise,
and stirred up considerable enthusiasm,
but the Harrison men, though. quieter, were
fully as numerous as the Maine mans sup
porters There were delegates from Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Maine. Vermont, New
Hampshire, and several representatives
from other States who were behind time.
The first big arrivals of the day were from
Ohio. General Asa A. Bushnell, delegate
at large, and as enthusiastic Blaine man as
j. B. Foraker, headed the delegation from
Central Ohio. He had with him Delegates
j. L Allread, Judge G. K. Nash, Cyrus
Huling and W. H. johnson. These four,
with the exception of Allread, wore Blaine
badges and talked loudly for Blaine, al
though Judge Nash said he believed Sem
ator Sherman was his preference, with Blaine
for second choice. General Bushnell said:

gates from Ohio are for James G. Blaine.

the delegates is instructed and am going
to exercise my freedom and vote for Mr..
Blaine.
Mr.. Allread said he believed there was
great deal of wind to the Blaine boom. Ex-
cept for the few delegates Foraker control
led the Ohio delegation was for Harrison.
He adds:
If there are three candidates in the field,

prevent the nomination Of either Blaine or
Harrison, 1 think Mr.. Mckinley will be
back and would make a magnificent
campaign. He himself does not think light
ming will strike him, but he told me yester-
day that the Blaine men would be fooled If
they tried to stampede the convention for
their man. The delegates are altogether too
sensible to be whooped up that way.
A man passed through Chicago to-day
who, it is believed, carried from Mr. Blaine
the latter's official declaration as to his
attitude. This man is Joe Manley, Post
master of Augusta, Me-, and Mr.. Blaine's
confidential friend. Mr. Manley was in
Chicago about half an hour, or just long
enough to greet the Maine delegates who
had already arrived, and then he sped on
ward He declined to talk politics, and
pre-emptorily bade every reporter who ap-
preached him to let him alone. To one of
the delegates from Tom Reeds district,
hewever, Manley said Blaine would accept
a nomination. This delegate il Wainwright
Gushing, of Foxport, Me.
The II delegations from Vermont, headed
by Governor Page, were in the city but
short time, but they talked Blaine and de-
clarei if he was candidate they would
vote for him. The New Hampshire men,
however, 16 in number, and under the
at large, and Chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee, said they would
be found voting for the denomination of the
President.

WHY BLAINE RESIGNED.

An Authority at Minneapolis Says Steve

lations Between the West vIrginian and
His Former Bosom Friend.
IFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
MINNEAPOLIS, June A United States
Senator, who is also a member of the Re-
publican National Committee, tonight gave
THE DISPATCH what purports to be the in
side history of Blaine's resignation. He
used the following language:
Last night John c. New became alarmed
at the signs of Blaine's strength with the
masses of the party which were beginning
to develop here despite the earnest work of
the office holders for Harrison. consplta-
tion of the Indiana managers was called,
and as result General New telegraphed
Secretary Steve Elkins a most urgent
and told Elkins that positive
letter Of declination from Blaine was all that
was necessary to straighten out matters,
and that such a letter was needed most ur-
gently. Elkins promptly and enthusiastic
cally wired back that if such a document
was necessary it would be forthcoming, and
that he would get it himself from the secre-
tary OF State.
Therefore, this morning, according to my
private and reliable advices. Elkins called
upon Blaine and explained to him the needs

managers. But the West Virginia enthusiast
had rt ckoned without his host. The Blaine
man politely, but firmly, announced that he
would keep his promise to his friends to
make no further communications on the
subject of the nomination.
Then Elkins became angry and made some
remarks which practically amounted to I'M
putations. The result was that the inter.
view ended with the relations of the two
political and personal friends very much
strained.
"a very few hours later the Secretary of
States resignation was In the hands of the
President, with the result that you see,"
concluded the Senator, pointing to the
crowds of cheering Blaine boomers surging
through the streets and corridors.
