 1 MINNEAPOLIS, June 9.-The third days session of the republican convention was opened at 11:22 today, when Chairman Mckinley with number of resounding blows of the new gavel endeavored to call the convention to order. But it was some | minutes before the buzz of conversation l ceased and the delegates took their seats 1 and gave their attention to business. The l Rev. Dr. Brush, chancellor of the Univer- l sity of South Dakota, delivered the open ing prayer.
 After the conclusion of the prayer the chair said that the regular order was the report of the committee on credentials. MT. Coggswell of Massachusetts, chairman of that committee, was recognized and said:
 "The committee on credentials is still in session. It has been diligently at work and has achieved reasonable progress. It hopes to be able to report in full tonight at 8 o'clock and asks further time" General Seweil of New Jersey was imme- diately on his feet. Since no business could be done until the committee was ready to report he moved that the conven- tion take recess until o'clock. Senator Cullom of Illinois had tried to interrupt General Sewell, but the chair man stopped him. Then MT. Cullom asked that pending the motion the conven- tion receive a resolution from Linn on the worlds fair.
 He sent up to the desk a resolution which was ordered read. It was as follows Resolved, That the worlds fair Columbi. an ex- position to be inaugnrated in the city of Chicago our citizens regardless of their political ailia- tions, as great national; undertaking. and that. in recognition of its character congress ought to promptly provide by appropriate legislation such reasonable aid needed therefor as will enable piled Obligations incident tn reto and as will in sure the attainment of such results will befit the dignity, progress, culture and development of the nation.
 After reading the resolution was referred to the committee on resolutions. MT. Hobart of Illinois presented reso- lution (also referre0 providing that Grand Army mon be admitted to standing room, and that if any seats were vacant thirty minutes after the convention was called to order they should be allowed to occupy them. The resolution was received with applause.
 The chairman then announced that the question was on the motion to take a re- 1 cess. There were cries of "No" from all l over the hall, coupled with cries of "In- galls," but in the confusion the chairman | put the motion and declared it carried. A New York delegate called for a divis- | icn. It was evident as the ayes stood up that the motion was carried. The clerk, [, however, made the count religiously. When the "noes" arose the opponents of the recess waved their arms to call their friends to their feet, but the effort was useless. The chairman announced the vote as 407 to 260, and at 11:45 declared that the convention take recess until 8 o'clock tonight.
 The Evening Session.
 The first evening session of the repub
 ican convention was characteri zed by the same lack of eagerness of interest on the part of the visitors and delegates remarked at the previous sessions. It was not until long after the hour for opening the session that the galleries began to fill. The even ing was warm and pleasant.
 Just before the hour of meeting the re- port was circulated that the Harrison managers weae discussing the ad visibility of forcing ballot at to-night's session.
 Chairman Coggswell of the credentials committee appeared at his signal that tn most important committee of the organiza tion had concluded it's labors the conven tion burst into wild applause.
