Illinois the Deciding Vote nnd There Were Yell* of AppVoval Short Review of the Nominee’* ( itrerr OHI- | chil Notification to Be (>ivon the Cnndi- i dates In New York City. Chicago, July 13.—As the hands of the clock pointed to 11 o’clock Saturday Chairman White called the convention to order. There was only about 4.000 people in the Coliseum. More than half of the gold delegates were absent. Contrary to the usual custom, the proceedings were not opened with prayer. A few routine announcements were made before the names of the vice presidential candidates were presented. There were seven candidates placed In nomination and the balloting began. The first ballot resulted in Mr. Sibley leading, he having 103 votes. On the second ballot Bland received the largest number of voles, 291. Ihe result of tlie third ballot showed 255 for Bland. As a result of the fourth ballot McLean received 29G votes. After the fourth ballot hail been announced I’lri • Sloan of the Ohio derogation, who had placed McLean in tne nomination, read a telegram from the Ohio man, which was as follows: —“Any vote cast for me for vice prcsisclent is. against my exiinswt xvi-li and without my authority." He ud&d to the telegram the comment: “This is for McLean, not for the Oh io delegation.' Shoixt.s for ••McLean,” mingled with “.No, no.” and “Sr.vail.," ioi'-i runted the reading of the dispatch, amt were coniitmed tor a time — When oijler was restored the fifth ballot xVas taken. The first change' came when the Georgia delegation changed their vote from McLean to Bewail. The chairman of the Indiana delegation announced that since hearing the telegram read Indiana would transfer her 30 votes to Sewall. lowa and Louisiana also swung into line for Sewall. When North Carolina was called the chairman of the delegation announced that North Carolina was not plaving to the east in this light, and again voted for Clarke. When Ohio was called Delegate Sloan mounted a chair and said: “Ohio casts her vote for McLean, notwithstanding those telegrams.” A Buckeye delegate arose to protest, but was hauled back into Ins chair by the angry men about him. n When the rollcall was concluded there was a hurried consultation. ,Sewall had 420 votes, witliiu 25 of enough to nominate. g. The Illinois delegation wavered. Suddenly Harry, Donovan mounted a • chair and shouted; “Illinois, which xvill cast its vote for tlie hoyiinees of- tins convent cm, now desires to aid m the making of tlw ticket. She easts her 4S votes for Arthur Sewall of Maine.” • “That nominates.” “llurralr, for Bewail,” shouted Thousands of voices. Kentucky, Ohio, Maryland and other states all quickly fell in line. A Michigan delegate moved to make the nomination unanimous. Delegates grasped the state colors and inarched about m Indian tile. These at last lined up in front of the stage while several routine announcements were made, and then, as the band struck up the stirring strains of “Dixie,” the procession reformed and for several minutes paraded about the delegates’ inclosure with the .purple staffs of Nebraska and Maine in the van. The crowds shouted and there was a general scene of enthusiasm. At last all state colors were brought to the center of the pit, where the Nebraska delegation was located. They clustered t iere, bobbing about like corks on a sea of swaying men, until the chairman began to rap for order. The result of the fifth ballot was as follows: Sewall, 508; McLean, 32: Harrity, 11; AV illiams 1); Clark 22; Pattison, 1 /Daniel, 86. Absent and not voting, 251. SKETCH OF THE NOMINEE.

Bryan from the prairies of Nebraska mid Arthur Sewall from the pineries of Maine, to New | York, then some grout hall will bo hired and the notification made. ' In tins way, before ti great audienro, Mr. Bryan will have an opportunity to make tin electrifying defying the sound money Democrats in their political < iibraltar. | This plan of beginning the campaign was blocked out Saturday mglit. at a I meeting of the notification committee. ; j Senator White of California presided, and the, committee was assisted "in its conference by Candidate Bryan. His pleasure as to the time and place of receiving the official notification of“his nomination was solicited. Mr. Bryan had no choice as to time, but thought that, as was customary, he should receive the notification at his home in Lincoln, Neb. It was then suggested, and the suggestion became popular, that it would 'be an excellent plan to bring the two candidates together and notify them at one and the same time. As Mr. Sewall lives away down in Maine and Mr Bryan away out west, New York, it was submitted, would be a central point? at which to hieet, with. tlie additional advantage that at such a convention of camttifates ami commit teemeu the hard money Democrats could lie confronted in their stronghold aggressively at tiie very beginning. As favorably as the plan impressed itself upon .tlie coiiiiiiittey it was not fully adopted.

COSTLY BELGIAN GUN BARRELS. They Aro Mu<l« by 11 and nn4 by a Complicated I’roci'sa. The United States consul in Liege do scribi s, tn a i •■ lit repbrt, the mauufuc- ; turn if mid n ‘io in Damascus gun bar-' rels, wholly handmade, in the valley of . the Vi.-tire, in Liege province. Tin-a barrrils are for sporting gun-, and tin j ■industry is m.titV years old, the work- J m< n in tlm villagi s in the valley being ! nlpiost nil gun barrel makers ami the i trad" zb'S'.'ending from father to son. The b« st barrels are a combination of [ tlie Lest primary sub stances, welded j and forged by the martclage a froid | process. Tlie steel comes from West- | pltalia; the iron is manufactured at Couvin, in Belgium.; the coal, which is I specially suited for the work, from the Herve highlands, in Belgium, while the motive power of the factories is obtained ftum the riV< r Vesdre. The industry l as increased greatly’ in recent years. These ainies do luxe, as they are called, are made by men working in pairs, each pair in its own little factory, qui»' independent of all others. They re paid by the pi c“, tiie wages b dug g>,od, and übdut 2,000 nu n are engaged on the work in the valley. Medium quality barrels are made of coke’iron and steel, while the supi rior quality, which are produced in the Vesdre valley, are made of chanvijd iron and steel. An ingenious “marriage” <.f these metals gives a composition which, when manufactured, guarantees the required solidity and resist au.ee. The improvement, in theso damasens barrels dat< s ft-oin the intn duetien of precussiou cap-' in plac of the old flintlock.; Formerly iron" barrels alone were, produced. Now, to manufacture tlifi curled damascus, tlie ingot is composed of 30 sin" tv of iron and stool, each Laving a thickm ■<. of four millimeter, wh’ieii are (I'lvel'-yed in a sheet iron b x. placid in an oven and welded together at'Jiol .w< st Jr. s o Lie ti luptTaiure. Each barrel receives 150. welding Jiaats win' - being forged, and if a single one of these •is utisuccessfi.il the barn 1 may be a failure, either by alteration of the damascened work or on imperfection in the welding. There is unofficial test of these arnica de lux?., but they are thoroughly tested by the manufacturers before di livery. The annual production of damascus ba 1 - rels in the Vesdre valley is about 300,000 pairs, of a value of about 3,500,000 francs. Os this the wages alom —for all' the guns are handmade —amount to, about 2,000,000 francs. The principal markets are Great Britain and the’ United Sfatt s. An ut half the barrels made in the Vesdre valley are sold to manufacturers of arms in Liege to be mounted.—New YL fk Times. MBS. STUART'S MODELS.

■ at Longchamps, a well-dressed man, 1 apparently about 40 years of age, who had been leaning against a tree, took deliberate aim and tired twice in quick succession with a revolver at tiie presidxrrr. The man had no time to tire , again before the crowd closed in on him and seized him, and but for rhe inter- . veiuion of the police, the would-be asi sassin would probably have been lynched. The name of the miscreant is given as Francois. It appears that some time a.o. in order to artention to a supposed grieva ice w i h he nai'ix.red, h<- thou a -revolver in the inert of the chamber of deputies. Francois declares tiiat he had no desire 'to harm President Faure, but the pilrpose of his act was to secure a hearing by the president of his grievances. Faure Shows Little Agitation. Throughout the sensational incidents’ ! of the day and the exciting scenes that I accompanied and followed the attempt ■ I upon his life. President Faure main- ■ tamed an outwardly placid demeanor and manifested not the slightest sign of emotion. When Francois, the would-be assassin, straightened up from iris lounging position against a tree and deliberately opened fire upon the president of tiie republic, the latter showed no symptom of alarm and the open Carriage in which he was riding made no pause, but proceeded across the review grbuiid to the presidential tribune, where he was to review the troops, who were out on parade in hoiibr of rhe anniversary of the fall of the bastile.
