The question OF Sunday opening Of
the American pavilion and section at
the Paris exposition had barely been
settled when the temperance advocates
lifted their voices against the sale OF
Iiuuor in the cafe Of the A merican sec
ton. The easements OF all the pavilious
on the now famous Rue des Nations,
where are erected the official buildings
Of the foreign nations, are occupied by
restaurants and cafes in which are served
dishes and beverages characteristic Of
the respective countries The establish
meuts look out upon the Seine, and the
terraces in front are becoming popular
rendezvous for foreign visitors who
gather at their several pavilions. The
American prohibitonists are very much
worried on the matter Of allowing the
sale Of liquor in the American cafe,
which forms a part of our national
pavilion. The open letter column OF the
Paris HeyaM offered an arena for
wordy warfare between the opponents
ant the sympathizers OF the sale OF
liquor, which has been highly interesting
10 Parisians, who utterly fail to compre-
he d how such a subject should form
topic OF discussion
At the headquarters Of the American
commission it is explained that those
who have been yehemently assiulting
the idea Of an American bar are acting
under false impressions. as no bar is to
be located there. The cafe will be such
as is found in all American cities.
Distinctive American TODD can be had
there, and American beverages will be
served to those dining.

Convention Hall, Kansas City, NO..
July 5.-Convention hall was again be-
sieged today by eager and excited thou
sands and long before the time set for
opening the second days proceedings
all Of the great streets approaching the
building were solidly massed with hu-
manity, moving forward to the many
entrances.
Expectancy was at a high pitch. as
1t was universally felt that the day had
in store the greatest events of the con-
vention.
BY 10 o'clock. 30 minutes before the
time set for the opening Of the con-
vention, nearly every seat in the gall
leries were occupied.
A FIGHT LOOKED FOR.
The delegates were much more de-
liberate and came in slowly. The word
had gotten abroad that there would be
a fight on the floor over the adoption
of the platform and anticipating ses-
sion which would be long and hard
after Il had once begun, they preferred
to come only at the last minute. that
their stay in the crowded hall might be
made no longer than necessary.
The crowd was anxious TO see Sena-
tor Fill and on two occasions. when a
! bald-headed man came through the
door leading to the delegates seats.
they set up the cry OF "Hill." which
had proved so sensational feature
at both sessions yesterday. The sena-
tor. however was one of the last OF
the New York delegation TO arrive.
ARRANGEMENTS IMPROVED.
The police arrangements OF, the hall
were a decided Improvement over those
that characterized the opening OF the
convention yesterday.
During the sessions on Wednesday
dense crowds OF spectators were al
lowed to congregate I'm front or the

These were at times so densely pack

The number OF handsomely gowned
women around the speakers stand was
even greater than yesterday. The old
familiar tunes, played by the bands In
the galleries. brought forth the old fa-
miliar yells from the crowd. AS usual,
Dixie" and "A Hot Time" were played
repeatedly and cheered enthusiastically.
The arrival of Richard Croker called
forth a few cheers from the galleries,
and, as usual when a Tammany man
shows up, there was the cry of Hill,
just to remind him that there are
others"
CROWD INPATIENT.
The audience began to manifest signs
of impatience as the time went by for
calling the convention to order and the
officials made no motion to proceed.
The hum of the multitude Increased
with a dull roar. The aisles were tammed
and the area in front of the platform
was choked with shuffiing mass OF
delegates. officials and subordinates.
Many OF the well known leaders went

patriotic airs served TO keep the crowd
in good humor and maintain the pa

the platform the huge horns OF a Texas

was a roof cracking shout and an en-

STORIES OF MASSACRE.
London. July 5, 1880 y. m.-The Oft
repeated story of the massacre of all
the whites in Pekin is being retold to-
day with a circumstantiality that al
most convinces those who have hither-
to refused to. credit the sickening tales.
The only hopeful feature Of the evil
news is the fact that 1t was from Chi
neseN sources at Shanghai. but IL is
realized that even IL the tragedy has
not yet been enacted IT cannot longer
be delayed unless help comes from un-
known sources.
Even the holdinglof Tien Tsin against
The overwhelming hordes now seems to
be a very remote possibility. while the
safety of other treaty ports is seriously
threatened.
MAY DELAY RELIEF.
A dispatch from Chee-Foo dated

the imminence of the summer rains
1t will be impossible for the joint forces
to advance TO Pekin until autumn.
According to reports from Shanghai
the Chinese army, on a march SOUTH
