Denied at the State Department,

The report from Paris that Samuna bay,
santo Domingo has been ceded to the United
States is officially denied at the State Depart
ment. An officer of that Department said
this afternoon that no such cession
has been made or is contemplated by this gov
eminent; that United States Minister Durham
has not taken up a permanent residence
in San Domingo and is probably on
his way to Hayti, he being accredited
to both countries. The official added that what
ever excitement or uneasiness prevails in San
Domingo is in nowise due to any action on the
part of the United States.

No Contests Were Settled and the COnven-
ton Soon Took a Recess.
CONVENTION HALL, MINNEAPoLIs, MINI,
June s.-Cloudy skies, with only occasional sun
bursts, marked the opening of the second days
proceedings. 1t was genuine Harrison
weather" his friends remarked. Among
the distinguished guests at the conven-
ton were Geo. W. Childs and party, just
returned from the Rocky mountain trip Cali
fornia's lone banner of yesterday was supple
mented by handsome blue standard borne by
the Illinois delegation and planted in the main
aisle, bearing the inscription illinois: Lincoln,
Grant, Logan" eloquently suggestive that if
the convention chose to add fourth name to
that illustrious trio "Barkis was within"
Three minutes before the hour Of opening
the proceedings Oh a.m.) Gov. MKinley, the
chairman-elect, walked down the main aisle to
an accompaniment Of cheers. He bore no roll
Of manuscript and it was evident that he had
prepared no set speech.
1t was evident the galleries meant sooner or
later to get speech out Of the brilliant and
caustic kansan.
DISCUSSING THE MKINLEY BOOM.
While the delegates and spectators were as
sembling in the convention hall there was much
discussion of probable action of the Ohio dele
CATION. as it was reported that they were pre-
pairing to &c to Mckinley.
W. c. Brown of Fostoria in the Foster dis
trict, who is o member of Gov. McKinley's
staff, said to reporter in regard to the report:
Il have heard nothing Of the receipt of a tele-
gram from Senator Sherman, but the delegates
from Ohio need no urging from any quarter in
behalf of Mckinley. Whether Blaine men or
Harrison men they are first Of all Mckinley
men and we would certainly present his name
to the convention before the first ballot if he
would permit it. But he said yesterday
that those who were. sincerely his
friends would show 1t in no better
way than by voting forAir. Harrison on the first
ballot and that he would not permit the use Of
his name. He did not say anything about what
we ought to do after the first ballot and il Har-
rison does not receive the nomination at the
outset he never will, for if the first ballot
results in no nomination the entire
Ohio delegation will present the name
OF Mckinley. We have assurances OF the Mas
sachusetts delegates that. they stand ready to
second the nomination and in view of the stu
alton in the New York delegation we have no
doubt that everybody from that state would be
glad to find the way out of the present strife
by falling in line for Mckinley, and, in my judg-
ment, would nominate him.
Senator Hiscock said to a reporter that he had
not heard the statement that Ohio would swing
to Mckinley, and he did not believe that they
would.
Gov. Mckinley meanwhile had seated himself
in the gallery, behind the chair, in close COM
pany with Gov. GorhAm, Senator Carey and

BITTER FRACTIONAL FEELING.
The Party Said to Be split Wide Open at
Minneapolis.


Minneapolis.
MISNEAPoLIs. MINI, June S-The second
day of the convention opened quite as gloomy
as the first. The heavy rain which fell almost
all night left the streets sloppy and unpleasant
The sky above the convention city was gloomy
gray this morning. The weather is having an
effect ON the visitors. if not on the delegates,
and there was unusual quiet this morning.
At 3 O'Clock not a shout had been heard in the
hotel corridor and not band had paraded the
streets. Over the desk of the West Hotel yes
terday morning was a colossal portrait of Benz
Harrison. A twin picture of James G.. Blaine
hung beside II this morning The followers Of
the Maine man are not to be outdone in any
particular by the Harrison boomers.
The fraternal association Of the two portraits.
however. does not represent the feeling be-
tween the two factions. A great deal of bitter
ness has been created in the last two days. 1t
of the two candidates showed only a pleasant
rivalry IN their efferts to control the conven-
ton The leaders of both sides used every
effort to prevent i'll feeling.
Almost the first question which Gov. Nc
hinley asked of a reporter who interviewed him
on his arrival in Minneapolis was: lis there
any bad blood?' He seemed relieved when he
was assured that at the time the surface rndica-
tons seemed TO indicate the best of feeling
There was an earnest rivalry, but even where
delegations were divided, except where they
we're divided on the lines of old-established
local factions, there little or no i'll feeling
All this has changed. The charges made
against each other BY the representatives Of the
two candidates and the struggle TO control the
doubtful votes has made much trouble. and
today the republican party at Minneapolis is
split wide open
THE MKISLEY BOOM.
Some Of the cooler men high in party coun-
ellis say that there is only one way to heal the
breach-by the selection Of a compromise can
didate. This feeling is what has given strength
to the Mckinley boom in the last two days and
has started several other side movements Mr.
Mckinley has shown his sincerity in the sup
port Of Gen. Harrison in the most emphatic
manner He has been outspoken for him on
all occasions and has refused to countenance
for a moment the discussion Of his own name
he became very angry yesterday when some
one IN his presence spoke Of him as a possible
candidate. Shaking his finger emphatically in
the mans face MAJ. Mckinley said: ANY man
Who mentions my name IN connection with the
nomination while Gen Harrison is in the race
h no friend of mine"
But II Is not a. an opponent Of President
Harrison that Mckinley is discussed His
name IL mentioned at the head of the list of
compromises possible il Gen. Harrison's friends
decide at any time to withdraw his name in
favor of any one else. There is no doubt. how
ever, that q number of votes will be cast for

protest

On the 3lst of last March she and two or

of schemes to render the coming morrow
for various persons day of surprise and
evaporation. She wrote u letter to the
agent of the Society for the Prevention

joyment from the prospect of an interview

all the utterly hopeless ones who adver-

self they sent ii letter signed Friends of
