FLOWER’S HOPES VANISHED.
Ilis **lsar’l” Taps Turned Off and the
“Boys” Disheartened.
The dispiriting intelligence has reached
some of the workers in the Democratic
ranks, says a Chicago special to the New
Y'ork Times, that the taps have been turned
off the Flower “bar’ls” since the Saratoga
lizzie, and that the dry season has actu
ally set in. It is confidently predicted
that the number of Flower workers will,
in consequence, be diminished from 75 to
!*5 per cent. Even Carter Harrison’s fol
lowers, a class which never drops any
thing so hong as it contains a spark of
vitality, acknowledged that the Flower
boom is bursted. When it was in its ze
nith Mr. Flower engaged quarters at the
Grand Pacific, trom which to direct its
movements, for at that time it was anti
cipated that it might be, and probably
would be, used as a sort of battering-ram
at the doors of the National Democratic
Convention. His private secretary has
just taken possession ot them and an
nounced that Mr. Flower will not attend
the convention or even visit the citv. But
as the bed-room and bath-room must be
paid for it would be folly not to have them
put to some purpose. Another employe
of Mr. Flower's, whose sympathies are
about evenly divided between Blaine and
Flower, takes the same practical view of
the matter, and be occupied them with
Private Secretary Gibbens to-day. While
the private secretary does not Talk confi
dently of Mr. Flower’s future, in fact
rather evades the subject, when pressed
he does not concede that all hope for his
employer ought yet to be abandoned.
From all that can be gathered from him
the chief foundation for this hope is the
fact that Gen. Lester Barnabas Faulkner
and Senator John Collins Jacobs will ar
rive from New Y'ork within three days
and devote themselves to the ex-Congress
man’s interests. It is vaguely intimated
that the “interests” alluded to have sim
mered down from a Presidential ambition
to a revengeful determination to prevent
any other New Yorker from being nomi
nated. Room 37 will possess some inter
est in the next few days, for the disaffected
will make it their headquarters, and Mr.
Gibbens’ room-mate may eventually carry
out some such Democratic design as fling
ing a Blaine banner from the bath-room
window.
The Way the Money Goes.
The debates on public buildings have
brought out some remarkable statistics,
says a Washington special. The cost of j
the sites alone for eight government j
buildings, in eight leading cities, aggre
gated $7,000,000. For the Phila- j
delphia site, on Chestnut street, the
great sum of $1,491,201 was paid. Boston
nearly matched this, with $1,329,090 for i
her site, and Chicago was not far behind, !
with $1,259,380.
The price per square foot shows even j
more remarkable figures. St. Louis was j
satisfied with a site costing $5.98 a foot: j
Chicago with one of $9.90; Cincinnati
with one of $9.%. But for the Philadel
phia site the sum of $17.53 per square foot
was paid, and for Boston the top price of :
$27.90. The 47,722 square feet purchased '
for the Boston building cost more than the
127,110 taken for the Chicago.
Exclusive of the money paid for the j
sites, eight government buildings, at •
Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Hart
ford, Bt. Louis, Cincinnati, and Washing
ton, the latter being the still unfinished
State. War. and Navy building, have cost
over $32,000,000. In a speech Mr. Tillman
gave an illustration of work on public
buildings:
*•1 reinember onccaseof a quarry where
the government paid about $130,000 for
buildings, tools, etc. After the contract
had been complied with for the delivery
of the rock for two of these eight mani- ;
moth public buildings that I have men
tioned the tools, buildings, etc., were
advertised in two obscure papers, and '
sold for the petty sum of $1,200 or $1,300;
and then the contractors turned right ‘
around in a short while and resold them
to the government at first cost, to com- j
mence operations for quarrying, dressing, i
and shaping the rock for the erection of
some of the otner public buildings.”
No wonder that there is great eagerness
to get through new bills for government
buildings.
AT THE NATION’S CAPITAL
BOTH HOUSES HOLDING ALL
NIGHT SESSIONS.
Prospects of Adjournment at 3 O’clock
This Morning—Very Indefinite With
To-Day Noon as the Earliest Probable
Honr—Disagreements on Apportion
ment Bills Causing the Tronble.
Washington, July s.—ln the Senate
to-day, on motion of Mr. CuUom, the
Senate took up the bill to establish a com
mission to negotiate inter-State commerce.
It provides for the appointment of a com
mission to consist of five commissioners,
at a salary of $7,300 each, xvho shall have
supervision of all matters pertaining to
the regulation of commerce between the
States and the methods of operating the
railroad companies engaged in inter
state commerce. Sixty thousand dollars
is appropriated for the purposes of the
commission for its first year's operation.
Mr. CuUom said that in the presentation of
this bill there was no intention of oppressing
the railroad companies. The State Commis
sions for the regulation of railroads had op
erated to the advantage of the people and of
the companies, so far as the powers of the
Commissioners extended, but as the railroads
had spread tbomsclres all over the continent
a National Commission was necessary to an
adjustment of the interests of the whole peo
ple and the roads. It wa* hi* belief that a
very considerable power should be given to
the National Commissioners to settle disputes
in order to avoid too much litigation. This
would be beneficial to both the people and the
companies.
THE LEGISLATIVE BILL.
Mr. Allison presented the conference report
on the legislative, executive and judicial ap
propriation bill, which was then read. The
houses agree on everything except on three
points, namely, those relating, first, to the con
tingent fund of the Senate which provides
compensation for Senators’ clerks, the second
for the printing in the Conyreional Record of
speeches not delivered, and the third lor the re
duction of the internal revenue collection and
customs districts. The Senate agreed to the
report.
Mr. Allison said that the committee would
like some expression of the sense of the Sen
ate as to the unsettled points.
Mr. Maxey thought that the printing of un
delivered speeches costs more than the Sena
tors’ clerks.
Mr. Sherman moved that the Senate recede
from the amendments prohibiting the print
ing of undelivered speeches. The Senate, he
said, might regulate its own speeches, ana he
will favor a provision in the Senate rules pro
hibiting the printing of undelivered speeches,
yet the House may as well feel that it was
part of its prerogative to control its own
printing.
Mr. \ est hoped that the printing limitation
would be adhered to.
Mr. Ingalls referred to the volumlous mat
ter recently printed in the Congremional
Record, though not delivered in either House
of Congress—matter involving the reputation
and Honor of the Senate—matter that was
absolutely false. He was opposed to the
printing of undelivered speeches, yet he
thought the appropriation bill not the best
place in which to deal with the question.
Messrs. Dawes, Morgan, Bayard ami
Maxey defended the provisions for Senators’
clerks, both on the ground of actual necessity
for a proper and prompt performance of
senatorial duties, and on the ground of the
constitutional right of the Senate to regulate
the number and duties of its own employes.
All expressed the hope that the Senate
would stand by its original determination.
Mr. Allison said that difference be
tween the two houses, after all, was that tho
House insisted on putting new legislation into
appropriation bills, all of that legislation
being uneonsidered by the Senate, and some
of it vicious and absolutely wrong in prin
ciple.
Mr. Bayard reminded Mr. Allison that the
Senate was not without fault in that respect,
calling attention to the provision for new
cruisers in the naval appropriation bill.
Mr. Allison replied that the proposition had
been decided by the Senate not to be new leg
| islation, but said that when the House in
sisted that certain provisions were new legis
lation, it would be the duty of the Senate to
recede.
Mr. Sherman withdrew his motion, and the
j Senate further insisted on its remaining
amendments, and ordered another committee
of conference. TheChairreappointed Messrs.
Allison, Dawes and Cockrell as such com
mittee.
The question recurring on the inter-State
commerce bill, Mr. Miller, of New York,
I moved to postpone it until December tiex’,
stating that while he fully sympathized with
the purposes of the bill it was manifest that it
was one of the most important measures of
the session, and could not properly be dis
cussed in the limited time now at the disposal
of the Senate.
Mr. Miller’s motion was agreed to and the
bill went over accordingly.
On motion of Mr. Blair tlie Senate then
took up and passed a number of private pen
sion cases.
The resolution was not agreed to.
Mr. Logan submitted the report of the con
ference committee on the fortifications bill, to
which the Senate agreed.
On motion of Mr. Blair the Senate pro
ceeded to the consideration of the bill to pro
hibit the importation of foreigners under
contract or agreement to perform labor in the
United States. During the reading of this
bill at 3:30 o’clock the Senate went into execu
tive session. While still in executive session
at 4:45 o’clock, a recess was taken until 8
o’clock.
The Senate met in executive session at 8
o’clock and remained with closed doors for
half an hour, when it took another recces till 9
o’clock, and then resumed the executive ses
sion.
At 9:50 o’clock the doors were again opened.
A message front the House announced the
persistence of that body in its disagreement
to such of the Senate amendments to tlie con
sular and diplomatic appropriation bill as
allows $250,000 to be expended by the Presi
dent to meet the expense* attendant upon
foreign intercourse, and such as relate to the
appointment of a commission to ascertain the
best modes of securing commercial relations
with South America.
THK SENATE STANDS FIRM.
Tbe Senate Insisted on its amendments, and
agreed to the report of its own conferees, and,
having ordered anew conference, the Chair
appointed the original conferees, Messrs. Al
lis, Hale and Cockrell.
Mr. Hoar announced that the conferees
of both houses on the electoral count bill had
had several meetings, and while no report had
yet been authorized, he thought it proper to
state that no progress toward an agreement
had been made. lie saw no possible hope of an
agreement, unless the Senate was prepared
to put the whole matter of the electoral
count into the power of the House, either as a
separate body,or what was equally objection
able, into the power of the body made up of
members of the Senate and House voting per
capita.
Every member of the Senate, Mr. Hoar
thought, without any exception and without
distinction of party, regarded such a proposi
tion as entirely unknown to the constitution,
and totall v inadmissable m principal as well
as impracticable and inexpedient ia practice.
A message was received from the House of
Representatives requesting the return of the
consular and diplomatic bill. This was for
the purpose of correcting an error in the an
nouncement of the action of the House. The
corrected announccmeut showed that the
House had receded from the disagreement as
to the South American commission, leaving
as the only subject of difference between the
two houses on that bill the $250,000 which is
understood to relate to the Nicaraguan canal
franchise.
The Senate, at 10:30 o’clock, went again into
executive session, and after a few minutes
took another recess until 11 o'clock, when the
executive session was resumed.
Within a few minutes the doors were re
opened. and Mr. Allison submitted the con-*
ference report on the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill. The report
announced that the conferees hail come to an
agreement on all the amenduientaexcept that
relating to the contingent fund of the senate
covering compensation for Senators' clerks.
The Senate further insisted on the amend
ment and ordered anew conference. The
Chair reappointed as such committee Messrs.
Allison. Plumb and Cockrell.
Further consideration of the bill to prohibit
importation of labor under contract was, on
motion of Mr. Brown, postponed until Dec.
11 next.
A RECKS.S AT 12:30 O’CLOCK.
Washington, July 6, 3 a. m.— After some
important legislation the Senate, at 12:30
o’clock this morning, took a recess of half an
hour.
At 1 o’clock business was resumed. On
motion of Mr. Manderson the Committee on i
Transportation of Routes to the Seaboard was
increased in membership from seven to nine,
and authorized to sit recess of
Congress for the purpose of gathering sta
tistical information. The Senate then took
another recess of half an hour, at the expi- ;
ration of which time the recess was extended
to 2 o’clock.
IN THE HOUSE.
The House met this morning at 9 o’clock,
with not more than half a dozen members in
attendance. The journal was verv long, and.
at the conclusion of its reading(Mr. Randall
announced that there were no conference re-
IHirts in readiness, whereupon the House took
a recess until 11 o’clock.
Mr. Davis, of Missouri, from the Committee
on Elections, submitted a report in the Ala

Foreign Affairs, reported a joint resolution
requesting the President to negotiate with
Great Britain for a renewal of the Canadian
reciprocity treaty of 1854. it was put on the
House calendar.
Mr. Bansey, of Massachusetts, from the
Committee on Elections, submitted a unani
mous report confirming the right of Martin
McGinnis as Delegate from Montana Terri
tory, and it was agreed to.
Trie decision of the prima faeia right of T.
G. Skinner to the seat as Representative from
the First District of North Carplina, was post
poned until the second Monday in December.
The House then proceeded industriously to
kill time, and succeeded in its object. The
Mexican pension bill was the pivot on which
all motions turned.
At 12:30 o’clock, with a view to removing
the impediment to the transaction of business,
Mr. Burns, of Missouri, moved to postpone
further consideration of the bill until the
second Tuesday in I>ecensber. The motion
was lost by 55 yeas to 131 nays. A number of
roil calls were taken without extracting tho
Honee from its deadlock, and then at 1:39
o’clock a recess was taken till 3 o’clock.
THREE DISPUTED POINTS.
After the recess Mr. Burns submitted the
conference report on the consular and diplo
matic appropriation bill. Of the 167 amend
ments placed en the bill by the Senate, the
conference committee has reached an agree
ment on all except three. One of these is that
appropriating >250,000 to meet the necessary
expenses attending foreign intercourse to he
expended under the direction of the I’resi
dent. The other two have reference to the
appointment of a eommieeion to acwrtaiu the
beet mode ol securing more intimate interna
tional and commercial relations between the
United States aud the several countries of
Central and South America. The
bill as far as agreed upon appropriates 51,188,-
890, being an increase of $235,120 over the ap
propriation carried by the measure aect origi
inafly passed the House.
Mr. Burns said, in reference to the first
point ot disagreement that the conference
committee was so hedged in by obligations
that it was almost impossible for him to dis
criminate between what ought to :;e said and
what could not be said. Hts impression wa*
that public interest required that there should
lie no discussion of the question. He would
not attempt to discuss it unless-such was tlie
desire of the gentlemen on the oiher side.
Mr, Springer, ol Illinois, inquired how far
the gentleman could go in stating the object
of the appropriation without violating the"se
crets of the committee?
Mr. Burns trusted that the gentleman would
not insist upon his question..
Mr. Washburn, of Minnesota, said that the
Senate, after a very full discussion of the
matter, had placed the amendment on the
bill by an almost unanimous vote. He thought
that the House would ntake a great mistake
it it did not recede from its disagreement to
the amendment.
Mr. Burns called attention to the fact that
a majority of the Appropriations Committee,
after an impartial consideration of the ques
tion, had come to a different conclusion.
REFUSING TO GIVE IN.
Mr. Washburn moved that the House re
cede from its agreement to the amendment.
This was lost by 81 yeas to 93 nays.
Messrs. Find ay, Finerty, Greenleaf. Han
cock. Hunt, O’Neill of Missouri, Potter, Kose
crans and Winans of Wisconsin, voted with
the Republicans in the affirmative, and
Messrs. Payne;’ O’Hara and York with the
Democrats in the negative.
Mr. Washburn moved recession from the
disagreement to the other matters in dispute.
Messrs. Washburn, Kasson, Hunt and
O’Neill of Missouri, advocated the motion as
being; in the interest of extending our com
mercial interests.
Messrs. Burns, Towushend and Springer op
posed it, regarding tlie proposition aainvolv
lug an unnecessary expenditure of money,
the latter declaring that the commission
might drink barrel after barrel of champagne,
but they could not sell a single woolen hat in
South America until they sold, it aa cheap as
it could be sold bv England.
The motion to recede was agreed to by 111
yeas to 76 nays. This leaves tho $250,000 clause
the only point of difference.
Messrs. Burns, Townshend and Washburn
were re-appointed conferees. The House
then at 5:10 o’clock took a recess until 9
o’clock. *
When the House met at 9 o’clock it still
found itself in a dead-lock over the Mexican
pension bill, and an hour and a half was con
sumed in futile attempts to make some pro
gress with the Senate amendments.
At 10:30 o'clock Mr. Browne, of Indiana,
called attention to the obvious fact that it
was impossible to pass the bill at tbe present
session in view of the strong opposition made
to it, and lie proposed that the measure be
laid aside and mat the House proceed to the
consideration of private pensions bills.
Mr. Townshend, who has charge of the hill,
consented to this arrangement.
Mr. Hewitt, of Alabama, also acceded to
the proposition, saying that he had opposed
the Senate amendments because they had
radically changed the features of the bill, and
because he thought that they would saddle
on the government a debt of $2,000,000,000.
SWELTERING IN THE HOUSE.
Mr. Townshend wished an opportunity to
deny this last statement, but he was cried
down with a demand for the “regular order,”
and he thereupon objected to Mr. Browne’s
proposition, and the roll call proceeded. As
is usual during night sittings, when the ses
sion of Congress is drawing to a close, the
galleries of the House were crowded, and
the heat of the evening rendered
the air in the chamber stifling.
Many members took refuge on the south por
tico of the capitol to enjoy the breeze which
came from up the river, to talk politics, while
others who remained in the hall, assumed
listless attitudes, and endeavored to make
themselves as comfortable as the circum
stances would admit by the constant use of
fans.
THE HOUSE’S LONG SEXGE.
Washington, July , 3 a. m.—Mr. Springer
moved to postpone consideration of the Mexi
can pension bill till Tuesday next, but no
quorum voting withdrew his motion.
Mr. Hewitt, of Alabama, obtained the floor
and made a speech, reviewing his opposition
to the Senate amendments and deploring that
they discriminated against the soldiers of the
Mexican war.
At 12:15 o’clock til's morning Mr. Holman,
of Indiana, submitted the conference report
on the legislative, executive and judicial ap
propriation bill. An agreement is reached on
all the points of difference except that in
creasing the appropriation for the
Senate contingent fund, and that
presented by the Senate amendment
strikingout the restriction on the use of that
fund. The agreement is reached by anracti
cal yielding of all the points by the House
conferees. The Senate, however, recedes
from its amendments prohibiting the printing
of undelivered speeches in the Record.
The legislation reducing the number of inter
nal revenue and customs collections districts
is striken from the bill. The bill as far as
agreed to appropriates $21,426,321. Mr. Hol
man. though presenting the report, does not
sign it, as he differs from his colleagues on
some points.
The report was agreed to without division
Mr. Hancock moved that the House recede
from its disagreement to the one item still
remaining in controversy.
The motion was lost by 72 yeas to 94 nays,
and the House further insisted on its disagree
ment. Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, then
submitted the conference report on the forti
fications appropriation bill and it was agreed
to. It appropriates $700,000, being an increase
of $105,000 over the amount carried in the bill
as it originally passed the House.
The House at 2:30 o’clock this morning was
again killing time on the Mexican pension
bill, while awaiting the report on the sundry
civil bill. The reading of the report when it
comes in will probably last until 4 o’clock.
Adjournment at this hour promises not to be
reached before noon, if then.
NO EXCITING INCIDENTS.
The Dullness of the Proceedings Keep
Spectators Out of the Galleries.
Washington, July 6,2 a. m.—ln strong
contrast with the night sessions of former
sessions of Congress the galleries and
corridors of the Senate have been quiet
and'free from excitement. The uninter
esting character of the proceedings and
the lrequent recesses and executive ses
sions during the evening contributed to
this result. There were about
fifty Senators in the building
during the early part of the night, but
rarely more thau one-half of that number
were' in the Senate chamber at the same
time. The President arrived at his room
in the capitol at 11 o’clock, accompanied
by his Cabinet and private secretary.
Nearly all the Senators and many mem
bers of the House called upon him
there. He remained until a late
hour. But very few bills—
less than a dozen —were presented for his
signature. At 1 o’clock this morning
there wa9 no indication of adjournment of
either house of Congress.
THE SITUATION AT 2 O’CLOCK.
Washington, July 6, 2:30 a. m.— At 2
o’clock this morning there was a deter
mination on the part of the leaders of the
House to finish consideration of the appro
priation bills. The House had just re
fused by a vote of 94 to 72 to recede from
its disagreement to. the only Senate
amendment in controversy "on the
legislative appropriation bill, the
payment of Senators’ clerks. The
conference committee had agreed upon
the fortifications bill, and it was then
under consideration.
An agreement had also been reached on
the sundry civil bill, except that portion
relating to the changing of the fee to the
salary system for the compensation of
United States Court officials.
On the consular and diplomatic bill the
Senate conferees Insist that the appro
priation of $250,000 for the Nicaraguan
waterway project shall be made.
No agreement has yet been reached on
' the naval and general deficiency bills.
The conference committee on the’ former
expects to meet again before morning, j
The members of the conference say that
it is probable that it will be agreed to ex
tend the naval appropriation ot last year
for six months.
The conference on, the general deflotenejr <
bill is yet in session. Twenty-six amend
ments are in dispute.
REPUBLICANS AFRAID.
Walsh’s Offer to Throw Store Light ore
Star Route Matters not Accepted.
Washington, J.ily s.—John A. Walsh
came to Washington to-day from New
York, as he said, “to get the last;word in
the star route investigation by the-
Springer committee.” He said to mem
bers ot the committee: “I want to cor
rect the vagaries of Mr. Merrick’s mem
ory and prove the truth of all the state
ments 1 had attributed to him, especially
the one in which he told me that Messrs-
Bliss, Chandler and Kellogg met at Mr.
Chandleria house to devise means to save
Kellogg from an indictment by the second
grand jc-.y. I will give the name of an
other witness who was present when
the statement was given to me. I want
to prote that Mr. Merrick did
say to two witnesses in the District of
Columbia that Mr. Chandler had come to
him and asked that he desist from the
prosecution of Mr. Kellogg. In relation
to Col. Bliss I want to disprove false
statements made by him before the com
mittee, touching the testimony of Mr.
Kellogg, wherein he alleged that I had
borrowed *B,OOO from him. I desire to
prove by documentary and other evidence
its litter untmtbfulness.” Mr. Walsh
was not allowed to testify, the Republi
can members of the committee refusing
to listen to any additional testimony and
there being no quorum of Democrats in
the city.
The House of Representatives has
grantsd the Committee on Expenditures
in the Department ot Justice sixty days
in which to file its report on the starxoute
investigation and the investigation of the
fraudulent actions of United States Court
officials.
LOGAN AND THE ZUNIS.
lie I>enles Holding: Any Lands and De
fends HU Son-in-law.
Washington, July s.— After routine
business iu the Senate to-day Mr. Lpgau
arose to a question of privilege and de
nied the published reports that he has any
interest in the Zuni lands. He had read
several letters from the Interior Depart
ment to show that the reports were un
founded. In regard to the connection of
Major Tucker, his son-in-law, Mr.
Logan said that that gentleman had been
simply attacked because ol his family
connections with him. “Major Tucker,”
exclaimed Mr. Logan “is my son-in-law.
He is a gentleman who would not wrong
anyone. I presume that this attack is
made because he is a member of my
family. If the object of these detractors
is to draw me into his defense they
have succeeded. If anyone thinks that I
have not the pluck to defend anv relative
when wrongfully attacked he is mista
ken.”
Nominations Confirmed.
Washington, July s.—The Senate in
executive session to-day confirmed the fol
lowing nominations: Lewis Richmond,
of Rhode Island, to be Minister of the
United States to Portugal; Alphonso Taft,
of Ohio, to be Minister to Russia; John

any of the items at issue. The bill will
not pass at this session.
THE EG YPTIAN WAR.
Gen. Gordon Reported Safe and Khar
toum Relieved.
Cairo, July s.—The Governor of
Dongola now telegraphs from Debbeh
that be has fought a great battle with the
rebels and killed 4,000 of their number,
himself losing 2,000 meD. The news is not
believed. Later on tbe same day the
Governor telegraphed asking for arms,
ammunition and horses.
London, July 5. —A Suakin dispatch
says that the real rebel attack is expected
soon.
A Cairo correspondent says that advices
from the Catholic missionaries confirm
the report that Khartoum has fell and
that Gen. Gordon is safe. There are
rumors that there will be a rising in Cairo
toward the end of the Ramadan feast.
The fall of Dongola is daily expected.
Advices from Berber and Dongola are
very conflicting and are mostly rumors.
The government appears to know less
than outsiders.
Specials from Cairo almost invariably
conclude with statements that foregoing
reports must be received with caution.

Montreal, July s.—Fire at Lacbine
yesterday destroyed about forty houses,
principally occupied by poor laborers.
About 300 people are rendered homeless.
The loss is estimated at $50,000. One

The Choctaw Troubles.
Fort Smith, Ark., July s.—The Choc
taw troubles which originated in the
refusal of certain property owners to pay
tbe permit tax, have assumed a serious
attitude. Milo Hoyt, a prominent Choc
taw leader, has been outlawed and driven
into the Cherokee Nation, whefe he
dias a gang of about 30 men,
mostly desperate characters, who have

Chicago, July o.—The delegates to the
Democratic National Convention continue
to arrive in straggling detachments,
which in but a few eases number more
than five or six. Tbev have thus far ar
rlYed principally as individuals. One
half of the Louisiana delegation, how
ever, arrived this morning, and the entire
lowa delegation, numbering 26, came later
in the day. Quite a number of leaders
reached the city late last night, and their
presence caused an activity and anima
tion at hotels which delegates alone could
not impart. National Committeeman W.
L. Scott, of Pennsylvania, and Gen.
Spinola and Thomas F. Grady,
of New York, were among those who were
early oh the scene. This morning ex-Gov.
Sterling Morton, of Nebraska, was ob
served m the lobby of the Palmer House
and was afterward seen in consultation
with the advance advocates ot revenue
reform. Gov. Morton declares that the
party must, in justice to itself, declare
unqualifiedly for a reform of the tariff
laws. Congressman Morrison declares
that the platform of the partv takes pre
cedence over everything else- He be
lieved that with a good reform platform ;
the party could go into the fight with
almost any good candidate-and win.
WHEtg the reform strength lies.
He declared that the South and the
greater portion of the West could be
relied upon to support a reasonable re
form tariff principle. Many Northern
and New England delegates would be
opposed to it, and i'_ was a question
whether the South aid West did not con
stitute a clear majority, It is recognized
that the tariff question has taken pre
cedence in point of interest thus far in
the preliminary work of the convention,
as the free trade advocates have been out
spoken in their demand that the subject
be clearly defined by the National Conven
tion.
To a representative of the Associated
Press this morning Hon. Menry Watter
son said: “The statement that Carter
Harrison defeated Mr. Morrison at Peoria
gives a very wrong impression of what
really occurred there. The Illinois dele
gation adopted a ‘tariff-for-revenue-only’
resolution. Mr. Harrison started out to
quash this, b\it finding that he would be
beaten he modified his demands, and
asked that the resolution be simply re-,
ferred to the National Convention about
to assemble. This the State Convention
was willing to concede to the man whom
it was, about to nominate for Governor,
HARRISON A REFORMER.
“It 3hould not be forgotten,” continued
Mr. Watterson, “that Mr. Harrison is
himself a revenue reformer and said in
his speech that ‘protection is robbery.’
With the action of the State convention
Mr. Harrison’s power in the Illinois
delegation in the National Contention ex
pires. It is an out and out revenue re
form delegation and Mr. Morrison will be
its member ol the platform committee.”
The advance guards of the New York
Tammany delegation hung out its red
banner at the Palmer House this morning
and the New York County Democracy also
hoisted their placards. Around the New
York delegation gravitates very largely
the interest centered in the Presidential
race, and the most widely diverging re
ports are current as to the comparative
strength of the respective candidates in
the delegation. The Cleveland and
Flower adherents both stoutly claim a
majority of the delegation, and it is con
ceded by both wings that Senator Bayard
has a following. It was expected that a
caucus of the New Y’ork delegation would
be held this evening, but, owing to the
announcement by Chairman Manning
that a caucus will not be held without
full numbers, a postponement will be
necessary.
A CAUCUS MONDAY.
It is now stated that the caucus will
be probably held to-morrow night. The
Flower contingent was reinforced this
morning by the arrival of John B. Man
ning, Dr. Crittenden, of Buffalo; Capt.
Hamilton and James Mooney, the latter
of whom is known as a labor agitator.
The lowa delegation immediately after
its arrival effected a temporary organiza
tion by electing Judge L. G. Kinnie as
chairman. The permanent organization
was deferred till Monday. The delegation
is stated to be for Cleveland.
Convention Hall is receiving its last
touches. The force of the Sergeants-at -
Arms will be OOdoorkeepers and CO ushers
and 30 pages. They reported this morning
to Col. Bright, Sergeant at-Arms, who
made them subscribe to a written form
for a faithful performance of their duties,
and to exclude all but ticket holders from
the hall.
BUTLER ON THE SCENE.
Gen. Butler arrived in Chicago from
Boston this evening. He was accom
panied by his secretary and several per
sonal friends. Representatives of the
. Associated Press met the party at Ken
sington, a few miles from Chicago, and
accompanied the General into the city.
Gen. Butler did not take with kindness to
any discussion on current politics or the
possibilities of the Democratic Conven
tion, but said that there would un
doubtedly lie a protection plank in the
platform promulgated by the assembled
Democrats of the country next week.
Upon the arrival of the train at the depot
Gen. Butler was waited upon by a com
mittee representing the labor organiza
tions of the city, and after a short season
of handshaking tbe General was escorted
to a carriage and driven to the Palmer
House. There Gen. Butler was met by a
crowd who greeted him with three cheers.
On the route through Michigan Gen. But
ler was warmly received at various towns
along the Michigan Central Jtoad. At
Michigan City the Mayor boarded the
train and introduced Gen. Butler to the
people. The General made a short re
sponse, saying that the demonstration
was evidence that they approved his
course.
AN OMEN OF TROUBLE.
Chicago, July 6, 2 a. m.— An onen of
trouble is given "in an interview with one
of the members of the Tammany Hall
delegation. He says that his people will
insist that a two-thirds vote will be re
quired to unify the New Y'ork delegation
in favor of any particular candi
date. “It is simply applying a
rule of the party,” said the delegate in
explanation, “’which requires a two
thirds vote in the convention to nomi
nate.”
The temper of the city was completely
changed from its quiet last night by tbe
arrival of the Pennsylvania, Massa
chusetts, Texas and the greater portion
ol the New York delegations.
The demonstration organized in behalf
of Gen. Butler also tended to aid the ex
citement. Gen. Butler having been
crowded through the crowd at his hotel
was received with a yell. He said:
fellow Citizene of Chicago and the Northern
State*: Lend your ears and lie silent, that you
may hear. It wilj be almost impo.silde for
me to make the crowd hear me, unless per
fect silence is preserved.
At this point the head of the procession j
turned a corner a block away, and the i
band and yells of the crowd cut off for a j
moment further speech. In a few rno- j
inents quiet was restored, and Gen. Butler
resumed, as follows:
I have received an address of weleome to
Chicago and a band is now coming.
SPEECH-MAKING IMPOSSIBLE.
While uttering the last words the pro
cession advanced until its head had reach
ed the hotel entrance, but the crowd was
so large that further progress was Impos
sible. The mounted Marshal attempted
to force through the crowd, but a number
of men seized the bridle and pushed
him back. A gigantic policeman at
tempted to lead the horse, hut the crowd
unbonneted the blue coated man, and
wrested his club away. The uproar con
tinued ten minutes, during which Gen.
Butler stood with his head uncovered,
waving his hands, and appealing for si
lence. Then he turned to the committee
i and said: “I cannot speak here to-night.”
He then left the platform, accompanied
by the members of the committee, and
after struggling with the crowd reached
his hotel and passed to his room. An im
mense crowd followed, but only a few
i favored ones were admitted to the Gen
eral's apartments. Gen. Butler, in his
room, said to the committee:
I tell you there are over 100 members of the
present Congress who conld have been de
feated in their respective district* by a change
of 500 votes. The laboring man
should ms st that tribunals should
be created before which. whatever
difficulties arise lietween labor ami capital,
could be fairly adjudicated, I represent the
Democracy of Massachusetts, nineteen out
of everv twenty of whom are working men. f
thank God I only represent the working men.
XEYV YORK’S CRUSADERS.
Tammany, Irving Hall and the County
democracy Start for Chicago.
New York, July 3.—The Tammany
Hall delegation left for Chicago by the
New York Central Railroad at 9 o’clock
this morning. It was over 600 strong, and
went in a train of sixseen cars.
The Irving Hall delegates left bv the
Erie Railroad at 7:o0oclock.
The Seventh Regiment Band accom
panied the Tammany delegation. Among
those on tlie train were John Kelly, Police
Commissioner Nichols, Charity Commis
sioner Brennen, State* Committeeman
E. Cahill and Fire Commissioner
Croker. Before his departure,-. John
Kelly said: “The Democratic party
has victory within its grasp
this time as it hasnot had in twenty-four
years. We hope that the convention will
nominate a man on whom all caa unite.
The friend of corporations and he enemy
of workingmen is not such a nominee.”
Among the Irving Hall delegates were
Sheriff Davidson, Judge Callahan, State
Senator Campbell, and Excise Commis
sioner Houghton. The delegation was 150
strong. *
THE CHOLERA BLAGUE.
The Death Rate for Yesterday—The
Oxygen Remedy a Failure.
Toulon; July s.—Dr. Hoohard is of the.
opinion that the cholera, has reached* its
maximum of intensity and that it will
linger until September, when the total
number of deaths will he about 1,000.
Many physicians tear that there wld be a
longer total. Washwomen having re
fused to wash the linen of cholera patients
the task is intrusted to prisoner*, under
promise of pardon.
THE OXYCEN CURE FAILS.
There have been seven deaths from
cholera here since last night. The oxygen
cure is proving unsatisfactory.
SMALL POX ADDED TO THE CHOLERA.
Marseilles, July a.— The intense heat
aggravates tlie cholera.
An outbreak ot small-pox has occurred
at Vegan In the department of Gard. Sev
enteen deaths have occurred. A military
cordon has been ordered.
It is now proved that the ship Sarthe
introduced the cholera into France. She
had 14 cases on board while in the lied
Sea.
Ons-death occurred here from cholera
last night.
Twelve deaths from cholera had oc
curred here during the 24 hours ending at
8 o’clock to-night.
Paris, July s.—Dr. Koch, the cholera
oxpert, was received in Pans with 6ome
reserve because of his being a Prussian.
THE PANIC DECLARED SENSELESS.
London, July 5.—A Marseilles corre
spondent maintains that tbe cholera panic
is senseless. Instances have occurred
where men carrying a patient to the hos
pital on a shutter deposited the shutter
on a pave and entered a cabaret to drink.
In the meantime the patient rose from the
shutter, grasped the situation and le
vanted without being captured. Several
failures have occurred at Toulon, owing
to the depression of trade. The death
rate has slightly increased.
FRENCH EMIGRANTS.
Washington, July s.— The Secretary
of the Treasury has issued a circular to
customs officers in regard to the preven
tion of cholera, of which the following is
a copy:
It lias been brought to the attention of the
department that persons from the infected
districts of France are leaving inconsidera
ble numbers, liy other than the French lines,
you will therefore require evidence that none
of the baggage of immigrants nor returning
travelers has been shipped from infected dis
tricts since June 20, 1884. The certificate of
the local quarantine office to the effect that no

NO LONGER A ZULU.
A Negro who l’layed Savage and Drank
Blood Suing for Wages.
A full blooded negro yesterday entered
tbe office of Justice of the Peace Weiss In
Paterson, N. J., says the New York Herald
ot the 3d inst., and began a suit for S2OO
damages against Cooper A Hewitt for the
alleged unlawful detention of a trunk.
The Justice was rather surprised at the
broken English spoken by the negro and
still more surprised to hear him change
to very fluent German.
Inquiry on the part of the Justice eli
cited a rather peculiar story of the life of
the plaintiff. His name is Thomas Mor
ris, and he is a native of Kingston, Ja
maica, where he was born forty-eight
years ago. When quite young he came to
this city, and from here went to Germany,
where he joined the Schwenold Circus at
Hohenzollern as an uncivilized Zulu chief,
lie allowed himself to be put in a cage, in
which he spent most of his time, at a fair
salary. He pretended to speak an unin
telligible language, although at that time
he spoke English and verv little German.
During the hours ol exhibition his keep
ers fed him with live chickens. He bit
the chickens and sucked their blood,
intr in a very savage manner. This in
duced the residents of tbe towns through
which the circus passed to bring him
chickens and other fowl in order to see
him kill tncra. In this manner the show
men were kept supplied with fowl for
their table.
Morris spent twenty-five years in Ger
many and Spain, remaining with the cir
cus a large portion of the time, and ac
quiring a knowledge of the German and
Spanish languages, both of which he
speaks fluently. While in Switzerland he
fell in love with a pretty peasant girl, a
number of years his junior, and tbe re
sult was a marriage, the relatives of the
girl having no objections to tbe match.
Subsequently he and his white bride came
to tbe United States, and two years ago
be obtained employment in the iron mines
of ex-Mayor Cooper and Congressman A.
S. Hewitt, situated in the upper part of
I’assaic county, N. J.
He complains that during that time he
has never received a dollar, nor has he
been able to induce the superintendent of
the mines, Philip R. George, to give him
an accounting, so that he does not know
how his accounts stand with the firm.

A Druggist’s Storv.*
Mr. Isaac C. Chapman, dniggist, New
burg, N. writes us: ‘Thave for the
past ten years sold several gross of Dr.
Wm. Hall’s Balsam for the Lungs.
I can say of it what I cannot say of any
other medicine. I have never heard a
customer speak of it but to praise its
virtues in the highest manner. 1 have
recommended it m a great many cases of
Whooping Cough, with the happiest effects.
I have used it in my own family for many
years; in lact, always have a bottle in the
medicine closet.”
