THE SKPOXO WAY'S DOIN'OS. MINNKAIMIMH, Minn., Juno 9.--Three minutes before tho hour of opening the second session of tho republican national convention (11 u. m.) Gov. McKinley, the chairman-elect, walked down the inulr. aisle to an uccompanlment of cheers. Ho bore no roll of manuscript, and it wiw evident that ho had prepared no set speech. It was 11:451 when Chairman Kassett rapied tho convention to order. Kt. Uev. H. Ii, Whipple, episcopal bishop of Minnesota, who hud been sitting to the left of the chair, with head pro* tec ted by a little purple skull cap, removed that covering and opened the proceedings with prayer, the delegates und most of the audience standing the while.

Nebraska Present* a Uavei.

Mr. Webster, of Nebraska, asked permission that Mr. Walker, of Nebraska, be given the floor to present a gavel to tho convention. The chairman announced that Mr. Walker would have tho floor for thai purpose. Mr. Walker then took tho platform and made a little speech in so low a tone that there were cries of "Louder!" from all parts of the hall. The gavel was presented In the names of the young republicans of Nebraska in memory of the homestead act. Mr. Walker described the wood of which tho gavel was made and said that there were two silver coin* in the end of it. Mr. Kassett returned tho thanks of the convention.

Not, Jtendv to Report.

The temporary chairman announced the order of business to be the presentation of the credentials committee report. Mr. Cogswell, chairman of that committee, took the tloor and said that tho committee wan not ready to report. He asked permission for tho committee to sit continuously until it hud completed its labors, saying that if the committee attended by reasonable success it cannot report beforo Thursday. Leave to sit continuously was granted.

McKlnley Made Permanent Chairman. Mr. Cogswell ahd Mr. Spooner having taken their seats, the chairman announced that the report of the committee on permanent organisation was next in order. D. C. Lockwood, of Idaho, chairman of the committee, was recognized and took the platform. Uo presented the name of William McKlnley, of Ohio, for permanent ohair* man It was received with tumultuous applause. Charles W. Johnson was named for secretary and the assistant secretaries of the temporary organization were recommended continued The committee also recommended that each delegation appoiut an honorary vice president and secretary.

An Ovation to McKlnley.

Mr. Lockwood moved the adoption of the report and It was adopted, and the chairman appointed Samuel I-Yssenden, of Connecticut, exSenator Spo »ner, of WiscoiiMin. and Gen. Mahone, of Virginia, a committee to escort Maj.

WILLIAM M'KINLKV.

McKlnley to the chair. They came up from tho body of the hall and went up the narrow aisle leslde the chairman's platform to the place where Gov. McKinley was seated. Then Mr. Spooner preceded and Gen. Mnhoue followed him down the aisle to the platform, lie shook hauds with Mr, Fassett, while the convention rose and cheered again and again. Mr. Fassett, turning from him, thankod the convention for its consideration and kindness to hfm. Then he introduced the permanent chairman. There was another tumult qf applause and an Ohio delegate sprang to his feet and proposeu three cheers. They were given with a will. When the noise ceased. Gov. McKlnley said:

Spccoh by the Chairman.

"ORNTLKMKN OP TITE CONVENTION: I thank your for the honor of presiding at'the ninth national convention of tho republican party. A republican convention means something. They havealwaysmeantsomething. Republican conventions say what they mean and mean what they say. They declare principles and policies and purposes, and when intrusted with power they execute and enforce them. [Cheers.] Tho ilrst national convention of the republican party thirty-six years ago met in tho city of Philadelphia. The platform of that convention reads to-day more like un inspiration than the affirmation of a political party. Every provision of thai great instrument made by th# fathers of our party Is in the statutes of our oountry to-day. (Cheers.) liveryone of them has been embodied into public law and that cannot be said of the plutform of any political organization in this or any other country in tho world." Whenever there is anything to be done in this country and by this country und for this country, the republican party is called upon to do it. [Applause.J

No Shame for tho Past.

"T. ts one thing that can be said of our orgtu. which cannot bo said of uny other. It cai It backward without shame or humllutlon and it can look forward with cheer and exultation. That cannot be said of any other political organization ill the United States. Gentlemen of the convention, wo are here to-day to mako a platform and a ticket that'will commend themselves to the consciences and the intelligence and tho Judgment of tho American people, and wo will do it [Loud cheers.] Whatever is done by this convention will meet the approval of the Amcrioan people in November of this year. [Hotiewed cheors.J We have already heard some of the notes of victory, for this is a a republican year. lUiodo Island has spoken. [Applause.] Only yesterday Oregon Hpoke, electing three republican representatives to the congress of the United States. [Cheers.] When we got through with this convention its conclusions will bo the law of ropubllcuu action, as they will be the assurance of republican victory. We are for a protective tariff and for reciprocity. (Great applause.] We propose to tako no backward step upon either of those groat republican principles. [Applause.]

Defense of Protection.

"We stand for a protective tariff, because it represents theAmerican home, the American fireside, the American family, the American girl, and the American hoy, and their highest possibilities of American citizenship. [Applause.] We propose to raise our money to pay public excuses by taxing I tho products of other nations, rather than by taxing the products of our own. [Applause.J The democratic party believes in direct taxation: that is, taxing ourselves. We don't believe in that principle, so long as we can Und anybody else to tax. [Laughter and appluuse.J The protective tariff not only does everything which a revenue tariff can do in raising all needed revenues, but a protective tariff does more than that. A protective tariff om-ouraKCs and stimulates American in* du-ili ies aud rives the widest itossibilltics to American genius aud Americau effort. [Ap-

ftatite.] Does anybody know what tariff refom taeanat (Cries of "No, no And yet that Is to be the platform of our political opponents this year. What does it meant You can study Mr. Cleveland's utterances, from the first one he made in New York, when he said ho didn't know anything about the tarlfT, until his last one in Rhode Island, and you go away ignoraut and uninformed as to what tariff reform mcaos. i*

InconsUtcnt Tariff Reform.

"Since the war there have been thretf groat tariff reform bills proposed by the democratic leaders, and none of them alike no two of them with the same free list, no two of them with the same tariff list, no two of them with the same rates of duty, but all made by the democratic party, upon the same principle, to symbolize and represent tariff reform. You may'go to Mr. Mills, you may goio Mr. Springer, and you will Hud that they differ totally. But you may go to the house of rep resentatlves at Washington which was eloctod distinctively upon what they call a tariff reform issue, with twa-thlrds majority in the house, and what do you find? That they have passed threo bills. Let me name them: First, free tin and steol or iron plates on which tin is coatod taxed, the finished product free and tho raw material bearing duty. Socond, free wool to tho manu* fucturcr aud tariff cloth to tho consumer. Third, free cotton ties to the cotton states und tariff hoop Iron to all the rest of the states. That is their symbol of tariff reform. Gentlomen of tho convention, how do you like it?

His BUI Thoroughly American. "This contest that you enter upon is for tho maintenance of protection and reciprocity. But I wanttosay here that there is not a line of that tariff bill that is not American there is not a paragraph that Is not patriotic there is not a page that doos not represent true Americanism and the highest possibilities of Amorluan citizenship. [Applause.] Wo are to declare ourselves upon-other question* here to-day. Wo arc to declare ourselves upon the. question of a free ballot'•nd a fair oount [Applause.] No platform should over be mado by a republican convention that did not reiterate that groat constitutional guaranty. No republican speech should ever bo mado that did not insist—flually and resolutely insl.st^-thnt that grestcoiwtitutloual guaranty shall be a living birthright, not,tho cold formality of constitutional enactmont, but a liviug thing, which- the poorest and humblest may confidently enjoy and which tlio hlghost and most powerful dare not deny. [Great applause.] We can well leave to the committee on resolutions the duty of making a plattormahat shall represent the best thoughts aud theljestideas and th* best wisdom of the republican party. [Applause.] When we gc out of this convention upon a true republican platform we go marching to victory, no mnttei whatnamo we may carry on our banner." [Applause.]

Tho speech was greoted with prolonged cheering. At its close there were repeated cries of "Douglass" and the vennrablo ex-shivo came forward and bowed his thanks.

MINWKAPOMS, Minn.. Juue 9 -Senator Culloin may be regarded us positive candidate for the presidency before .the present convention. In an interview with a corruspondont at his room in the Nicollet house Senator Cullom said: "There has been growing feeling that neither Blaine nor Harrison can bo nominated. I am under obligations and instructions for Harrison und shall do all 1 can to secure his selection. If It is finally determined that Harrison can't be nominated some othor man must be taken up. I havo had overtures from Kansas, Michigan and other states to b« a candidate and some of them have demanded that I stand for the nomination, but I have told them all that I'm not now in position to talk alout the matter, because 1 would not violate instructions for .the otttw. "Senator Pettigrcw is now -in my room with-ex-Senator Sahfn, of Minnesota, to tulk about the matter. I have suid to them substantially what I'm saying to you. Of course If It gets to that point where we nre satisaod Harrison cannot be nominated I should be grutitled to have the supjkirt of my delegation, und I'm glad to believe the Blaine men would vote for mo as cheerfully as would the Harrison meu. Senator Pettigrew is not so desirous of the election of Blaine as he Is for the defeat of llarri son. and if enough of them feel that way a third man must be taken up."

If Harrison Cannot Win.

"Do the overtures for your candidacy come mainly from ihe Blaine peoplel*" he was asked. "Yes. partially." he replied. "I suppoto they feel that Blaine can't be nominated and they have no hesitation in saying they do not want Harrison." "Then can it be said that you will be a cundldate" "These overtures," replied Mr. Cullom, "have been made to me, as I have said, but I don't waul to be putln position to be charged with breaking faith or with conniving at the de-' feat of Mr. Harrison. When it Is demonstrated that he cannot win 1 can permit my name to be considered."

For Ohio's Governor.

MINNEAPOLIS, June 9.—Ohio's Napoleonic tariff leader seems to be In the presidential race. He Is not a candidate, and is atriving to frown down all mention of his name for convention honors. But unless all signs fail he will be forced to the front unless Blaine Harrison score victory on the first ballot. McKlnley Is. in fact, the lion of the day. When his name was presented for i»ormanent chairman of the convention hearty and prolonged applauso broko forth spontaneously, and while he was being escorted to the chair round after round jf applause shook tho great Exposition building. Ohio is ready to swing to her populur favorite son when the proper lime comes, nnd the old Bay state is also trembling in the balauciv^ Rnfus S. Frost, of the Massachusetts delegation, was seen by United Press reporter Just before the convention was called to order In regard to the possibility of movement in behalf of McKlnley. He said a practical agreement had been reached that tho thirty votes of Massachusetts would go solidly to either Reed or McKlnley if neither Harrison nor Blaine should be nominated on the first ballot.

A Lonjr liattle.

The struggle in the committee on credentials over the contested 'delegations from the southern states will be bitter and th»» chaucc* are good that the fight will be transferred to the tloor of the convention. The immediate result of this contest between the Blaine and Harrison! factious for control of the contested seats will be to protract the convention to a late date. Nothing can be done in the way of progress iu, !%e work proper of the convention until tlie roport of the committee on credentials shall have been received and adopted by the convention. The rules for tho temporary organization adopted by the convention forces this condition of affairs. How long this will delay the convention is a problem, but the present outlook Is that it may extend over into next week.

Kven after the contested cases arc di:*poscd of there comes the platform with tho silver fight and the demands of the Afro-American league for a new force bill. Contested cases first, platform next, and then nominations. It is, therefore. fully within the possibilities, bearing In' mind the difficulties which surround both the committee ou credentials and the commlttco ou resolutions, that the first ballot for president may not be taken before Saturday or Mouday next

Test Vote In the Committee. The Blaine men have the committee on ere-' dentlals. This was shown by a test vote in the1 committee immediately after the assembling at1 9:80 o'clock. To facilitate matters it was proposed by Mr. Clayton, of Arkunsas, to report to the convention the names of all contested delegates and the district in which the contests had been filed with the committee. This was antagonized by the nntl-Harrl9on men, and Mr. Lane, of Pennsylvania, moved as: a substitute that no report bo mude from the committee nntll all the contested cases hud been heard and doclded. so that a complete roll of delegates could bo furnished to the convention. Tills substitute prevailed hv a majority of4-irtto^J. Thereupon tho committee took tip the Alabama ease and proceeded at onco to its consideration.

The credentials committee arrived at uo conclusion at the morning session aud adjourned to attend the convention at 10:50, without Liking a vote on the Alabama case.

Chairman Payne, of the Wisconsin stalo c»tnjiiHlee, gives the following as an accurate p4ll which was made in a certain interest which 6e will not name: Harrison, 4:tH Blaine, tt!0 „Alger, M.

Itlalne Men Confer.

MINKHAPOI.LS, Minn., June 9.—The presidential situation took a very significant turn late Wednesday night—ot^e fraught with possibilities of greatest importance to the rosult. An oxteuded conference lastiug nearly three houru was held by tho leaders or tho Blaine" forces In tho Colorado headquarters and nearly all the chief politicians of the various state delegations were summoned from time to time to their presence. At this meeting there was discussed at great length the availlblllty of' taking measures to bring one or more dark horses into the field In-order to draw off the Harrison vote aud thereby affect the demoralization of his forces and result ultimately either in the nomination of Jilalneor some one of the dark horses whose candidacy was to be encouraged. The conference finally came to a close without any definite agreeuicuU Among the rumors afloat is that In the event of the probable defeat of Blaine a compromise candidate in the person of McKlnley, Aliinon or Sherman is to be sprung oh the first ballot.

The Platform-Maker*.

As a result of tho deliberations of the committee ou resolutions on Wednesday the following plank on the silver question was decided upon: "The American people, through interest aud tradition, are In favor of bimetalism, and demand that l»oth metals shall be used as standard money uudersuch regulations aud provisions as may be established by the legislative dejrnrtinent of the government to establish and maintain the parity of the metals and to make each dollar, whether of gold or sliver or paper, the ejual of any other dollar. "We commend tho wise and patriotic policy inaugurated of calling au international couferonce to establish concurrent use of gold and nil* ver throughout the commercial world."

Ills-Carver.'

[The'birth aad early life of Emin Pasha are Bhroudcd in mystery. He has been called Dr. Schaltzer, and it is said he was born in cither Pruauia or Austrian Silesia about 1838 or 1£K. A couple of years ago an assurauce was given that he was born March 88, l«M), atOppeln. Prussian Silesia. HI* father died when the boy iwas quito young, but his mother is still living. According to this report, young Schnitzer graduated from the gymnasium atNeisse, went to the University of Breslau and to Klngsborg to study medicine, afterward -sfeidylttg at Paris and Vienna, lie also devoted much time to natural soleticoe, ornithology especially. Wandering east ward, he became tho oompanion of

Isrnael Pasha in his Journeys to TrebUunfl, Rrsroom, Constantinople, Janlna, In Eplrus. He learned French Ewjllsh, Italian, several BUvlo-dialects, and Turkish, Arabic and Per«Ian. In 1876 he took sorvico with Egypt and. rcmalnod with Gordon until that leader's death. He was ..appointed governor of the Kgyptlan equatorial provinces with the tltlo of bey. He established himself In the Albert Nyatisa and for three years nothing was heard from him. He was knowu to bo. surrounded by hostile tribes, and Btanloy .jraa-aeat to learn whatfcad become of him. The history of.Stanley's march to the rescue Is fresh in the minds of all. April 10.18S9, Erain decided to accompany Stanley to the coast and a start was made They inarched up the valley of the Sccnllki river, emsslng at Awamba, through
