noon to a room filed with busts OF

GIN the midst of the fracas Seymour,
who had temporarily disappeared, ap-
peared in the doorway attired in a white
hat and apron, which he had procured
from the hotel chef, and announced
that the landlord declared that the en-
tire party must vacate the room. He
had not finished his speech when every
thing on the table, including even the
large, heavy dishes, was hurled at him,
and it is really a wonder that he es-
capped the shower unhurt. By this time
everyone in the room, and especially
the Englishman, was a lamentable sight
to behold. Each one was smeared and
crushed and tumbled and torn from
head to foot. Lee could stand it no
longer. He got to his feet finally and
managed to say that, while ne had
heard such. scenes as he had witnessed
were enacted in the purlieus of the
great cities of America, he was astound-
ed and disappointed to find that they
were the custom among gentlmen, and
further said that he would have to
leave to keep a dinner engagement. 1:

THE table was got in shape again,
and things moved along smoothly and
pleasantly for some time until POLK
and Sothern became engaged IN appar-
emily a very angry and excited dispute
about the merits of the North ana
South. in the midst of which Mr.. Soth-
ern suddenly arose to his feet, and,
drawing a revolver, fired it directly
over Folks head. Immediately a scene
of the widest excitement ensued. IN
bass than twenty seconds twenty shots
from revolvers had been fired across the
table. Polk, Gaylor, Mccullough, Mon
tague, Seymour, Bryant and Sothern
were not only firing blank cartridges
from revolvers, but were brandlshlng
huge knives over one another's heads.
Dickinson, Cooper and Brown had by
this time discovered the affair was a

combatants, who were crawling across

this mess, and, while thus besmeared,
they could take turns to jumping round
to where 1 was holding Lee in place,
and, bringing their palms down upon
his shoulders, would beg of him TO be
seated and assured him that the diff
ficulty was simply trifiing one, and
that they would regret it to their dying
day should he leave them. So frequent
were these expressions of hospitality
that Lee was smeared from head to
foot with drawn butter. l shall never
forget the spectacle that the lamented
John Mccullough presented on that oc-
casion. Having fired his revolver, he
drew long Roman sword from his
boot, and, with swirl, cut off the neck
of champagne bottle as if he were de-

the position Of those who oppose Bishop

Chairman-The Gold Men Confsr-A
Bolt Discouraged Kansas
Delegation for Hand.

CHICAGO, July GA caucus Of the
Bland men was held at the Sherman
house yesterday, and 1t was the most
important gathering that has been
held since the delegates began to ar.
rive. The states which were repre-.
sented we're: Colorado, 5 votes; Arkan.
sas, 10 votes; Idaho, 9 votes; Illinois,
As votes; Kansas, 30 votes; Missouri, 81
votes; Montana, 8 votes; Nebraska, 16
votes; Nevada, votes; Texas, so votes;
Utah, 9 votes; Washington, votes;
Arizona, 8 votes; New Mexico, 8
votes; Indian territory, 8 votes,
and Oklahoma, 6 votes This Is
total OF 22S votes, but this
does not nearly show what BANDS
first ballot strength will be. Califor.
MIA and the two Dakotas, which were
not represented at the caucus, are just
as much for Bland as are the other
western states. The western state
that Is not for Bland Is Iowa, which
Is still nursing its Boies' boom.
The solid west cannot come anywhere
near nominating, however, as there
are 934 votes In the convention and II
the two-third rule is followed 1t will
take seq 20 votes to nominate. The
Bland men, however, expect upon the
first ballot In addition to the states
named: Alabama, with 90 votes; Flor.
ida, s votes; Louisiana, 10 votes; North
