chairman, and regarding the other officers thr re is the same reticence. Powell Clay too. of Arkansas, was among the day's arrivals, and is considered a strung addition to the administration top. porters. He says: "I do not believe Blaine would play fast and loos on encb an iraEortant question. I believe he meant all e said when be wrote his letter." "Do you think be has changed his mind!" he was asKed. "He has not said so' was the terse reply. He farther expressed the opinion that It would be a irreat misfortune to nominato a man who might decline. R. C. Kerens, of St. Louis, a close friend of President Harmon, and a delegate at large from Missouri. arrived to night and joined the Harrison forces. Ten thousand Harrison badges have been distributed and Mai no's letter to Chairman Clarkson printed in circular form is being circulated by hundreds. This afternoon ex-Senator Pierce, of North DaKota.' and a few delegates from Minnesota and North Dakota had a conference in John C. New'e room, and it was announced that the President had about (VjO instmcted votes. Tms statement is viewed with incredulity by the lilaine supporters. A. Maguiness. the advance guard of the Chicago Maine Club; and a very intimate friend of the HJaine family, arrived here to-day, and registered at the West Hotel, whore b flashed his lilaiue badge in the face of Mr. New, declaring he had positive information that Blaine would m.ike as strong a right for the nomination as he had in 13i4. ARRANGING THE PRELIMINARIES.

The Committee Issue Instructions to Delegates McKinly for Permanent Chairman. Minneapolis, June 2. The sub-committee of the national committtee held a brief meeting this ufternoon. There were present A. L. Conger, of Ohio, chairman; II. S. Hyde, of Massachusetts; Henry C. Payne, of Wisconsin; J. Sloat Fassett of Now York, aud J. b. Clarkson, of Iowa. After the adjournment of the committee the following official declaration, was given out for publication: "The sub-committee of the national Republican committee, at their meeting this uay. after having visited the convention ball and informed Itself completely of the arrangements made and to be made by the local committee for the comfort and convenience of the larpe number of people expected to attend the convention, unanimously express their entire approbation thereof, the ball being in every way the best that ever contained a national convention, and the arrangements for the accommodation of the delegates and the public at large better, more complete and satisfactory. "Tho committee also adopted a resolution requesting the delegates from the various States to select as soon as possible, either at home or immediately on their arrival in this city, the following officers of the convention: One honorary secretary of the convention, one honorary vice-president of the convention, one member of the committee on credentials, one member of the committee on permanent organization, one member of the committo on rules and order of business, one member of the committee on resolutions, one mrmbrof the Republican national committee, one member of tho committee tonotify thecandidate for President ot his nomination, one member of the committee to notify tho candidate for Vice-president." It is generally accepted that Governor William McKinley, of Ohio, will be permanent chairman of tho convention. He is the choice of the Harrison element, and for political reasons, ho is not likely to be opposed by the liUine managers. Indeed, Colonel Conger this evening acknowledged that it im quite probable McKinley will be the nuanimons choico of all lactions tor permanent chairman. The Governor has been apprised by telegraph of his coming honors, and his Irieuds exroct that he will leave Ohio to-morrow for Minneapolis. tin: tempokaky chairmanship. At the meeting of the sub-committee of the national committee, to-day, various gentlemen were discussed for tho temporary chairmanship of tho convention, but no selection will be made until the meeting of the full committee Saturday. Ex-Congress man John M. Langston, the colored orator' of Virginia, seems to bo the most popular candidate, and is being warmly pressed by J. Sloat Fassett. of New York. Fassett has declined to be himself considered a candidate for temporary chairman, aud his advocacy of the colored race makes the ex Congressman a formidable candidate. Gen. Horace Porter, of New York, ex-Speaker Heed, ex-Senator Ingall and Congressman Burrows, of Michigan, have also all been discussed. The formation of the platform is already being discussed, those having pet measures to be indorsed being among the first arrivals. An indorsement of protection and reciprocity is. of course, to be embodied as the chief principles. Some stir was occasioned by the report that ex-Gov. John S. Pillsbury. a delegate at iarge from Minneapolis, whose E residential preferences have thus far een kept to himself, intended to introduce an anti-second term resolution, ind the opposition to the President have drawn much comfort from the report which they have been nursing industriously. The Governor, however, explains that he simply believes in one term of six years, and would probably introduce a resolution to that e licet, but when his attention was called to the supposed beariug of such a resolution on the' candidaoy of President Harrison be added very emphatically: "If it would etl'eot the present standing of any of the candidates 1 would not introduce it." He further declares that op to the present time he has not fully decided how he shall vote, leaving bis decision until be confers with bis colleagues of the Minnesota doleg ition. Whatever tho final artion may be, the silver question is bound to play an important part in the platform work, and there are those here who nro working thir hardest on that one- subject. It. Clark Wheeler, of Colorado, a delegate to the convention and tho advance guard from that State, in most decided in his view. He saya fr hiumelf and also for his colleagues that, they are against Harrion solely because of his position on the coinHge question. He does not believe Harrison could run on a silver platform, and while he It working for silver he proposes to work against the President. There are, he say s, 40, 0C0 voters in Colorado pledged to vote against Harrison and against any anti-free-silver-coinage party, and he is here to secure the passage of a silver plank. The silver men havo no candidate. They are against Harrison and want tree silver indorsed. The convention hall is the finest in the history of politiculconveutions in America. It is within ten inmates' walk of the busialmost perfect acoustics, all conceivable conveniences for tho press, including not ' only nniDld desk and wire arrangements, but also separate entrances at the rear of the hall for tho newspaper correspondents. Associated Press aod Western Union -mfdoyes. This is one of the plans of the ocal press to make this convention a memorable one in tho history of the country. A small army of correspondents have already arrived, and they are uniformly well provided for in tho convention ball nod all arrangements for their comfort and for Aid In their work. One thing especially noticeable is the careful way in which the Minntapolitans have avoided showing any preference for any one candidato over the other. In the decoration of the conven tion hall there were used no pictures of party leaders, for tho reason that the local committees bad pledged themselves they would in no way show any preference, and such decoration was so considered. In the talk about tho city the people bad all they might want of political talk, but the fact that one of the delegates from th Minneapolis district. William Henry Kustis, is one of the most rampant Blaine men in America 1a kept in the background. It was Mr. Kustis who started the ball rolling to bring- tho convention to this citr, and to his energy i due much of the credit for its fine eutertaiument, as well as for its location. DEPKW SPKAKS AGAIN. lie Is Confident Harrison Will Tie Nomlnated Views of Others at Chicago. Chicago. June 2. The IUaino boom moved up and down in Chicago to-dar. Chauncey M. Depow was the biggest man in the city, and the way the other big men flocked to see him at the Auditorium was a caution to the people who think that there is uo candidate but lilaiue worth mnlionlng for tho Republican nomina

tion at Minneapolis. The genial Dootor did not talk much politics publicly. This is what he told the reporters: "Harrisou will bo nomiuated and the convention will be over in two days. We will all be baok In Chicago on Friday telling of what great people the Republican party is composed, and In particular dwelling ou tho collapse of the lllaine boom." This morning Mr. Depew denied that he dreamed last night that Blaine bad been nominated. "1 don't believe 1 could dream that," said Mr. Depew. The Depew party, including W. K. Vanderbilt and YV. be ward Webb, to-day attended the annual meeting of the Chicago & Northwestern railway, and visited the world's fair grounds. Ex-Gov. William Larrabee, of Iowa, dropped into the Palmer House daring the day and talked lustily for ISlaine. "The Plumed Knight can carry low; against any Democrat, not excepting Horace Boies." declared the ex-Governor, "but 1 wouldn't say that for Harrison. Iowa might be classed as a doubtful State if Harrison were a candidate. The Mate delegation would have been instructed lor Blaine had the convention known at the time it met what all the people now know. The majority of the delegates will vote for Blaiue anyhow." (John R. Lynch, the well-known colored politician troia Mississippi, was at the Palmer House, talking strongly for Harrison. He left for Minneapolis to-night. "The Blaine boom is wind." he said to-day. "Harrison's treatment of the colored men has been very satisfactory, and there is no concerted movement on their part to secure the nomination of any other man." In contrast with Lynch, r x-United States Senator William Pitt Kellogg, of Louisiana, "(he colored man's friend," is at the Auditorium. Mr. Kellogg heads the Louisiana delegation, and he has a long, sharp knife, which he expects to use m cr:ppling thelinrrison forces. Hedeclared that Harrison bus practically given nothing to the colored men in tho North, but that Bruce and Lynch, of Mississippi, wht-re votes do not count, got all they wanted. If Harrison is nominated Kellogg declared, tho states of ludiana, Illinois and Ohio will be endangered by the revolt of colored voters. Kellogg is for Blaine and declares the Southern delegates will surprise Hnrnsuu's Irieuds by voting- lor theMuino loan. CANNON SAYS IT WILL BK IIARItlSUN. During tho afternoon the Illinois contingent registered at the Grand Pacilic. centered about ex-Congressman Cannon, who told stories about the opposition to Harrison being like the fog of the early morning ou tho freshly-plowed land. "A little suulight and it becomes dispelled in an instant. Harrisou will get it on the first ballot." "1 sat in Congress with James G. Blaine for six years." remarked ex-Congressman Van Horn, of Lockport, N. Y.. at the Grand Pacifio to-day, "and for another time 1 am going to the convention pledged as a Blaine man to help nominate him. Blaine can carry New York, and thnt is more than Harrison can do if renominated." Captain Foster, of Cincinnati, is at the Grand Pacific. He will go to Minneapolis ahead of tho delegation from Ohio to decorate the headquarters of the Buckeye State Blaixle clubs, which are to be in the New York Life Building. The Ohio man is a Blaine enthusiast, and he predicts that the entire delegation will vote for the Maine man. He thiuks Governor McKinley is a Blaine man. t-pecial Treasury Agent Miles Kehoe, one of the delegates at largo from Illinois, loft for Minneapolis this afternoon. He says the Blaine boom will not last longer than Sunday next, and Harrison will have a clear field before him when the convention meets. Postortice Inspector .Stuart, Major John Burst, of the Immigration Department. Assistant Treasurer John Tanner and other federal otlicials will leave for Minneapolis Saturday night. The West Virginia delegation arrived at 4:50 over the Baltimore & Ohio and left at G o'clock via St. Paul. Senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania, arrived from Washington in a special car attached to the regular Pennsylvania train at S:05 and loft via the St. Paul at ti o'clock. The Indiana delegation and State central committee left in two special cars over the Northwestern at D o'clock to-night. The Washington newspaper correspondent, traveling in a special vestibule tram of eight cars over the Pennsylvania and St. Paul roads, passed through Chicago at midnight. Chauncey M. Depew aud party hilt at (J o clock this evening in their special cur attached to the Northwestern', regular train. VIEWS OF SENATOR CULLOM. Senator Cullom, Senator . Quay and Messrs. Stockbridgo and Burrows of Michigan, Gallingerof New Hampshire, Fulton of California, and Sawyer of Wisconsin arrived from tho East this afternoon. All of these remained secluded in the car except Messrs. Cullom, Galliuger and Burrows, who registered at the Grand Pacilic "I am on tho road to nominato a President," said Senator Cullom between handshakes. "1 believe that nominee will be Harrison. Of course, I am not as certain of it as that w are standing here, but it is a reasonable expectation. I think that is the logic of the situation. 1 don't see what escape therocan be from making our fight on the strength of his administration. and as it has been one of the most remarkable ability and purity I don't see why he should not lead the tight. 1 do not consider Blaine a candidate, for the most excellent reason that it seems to me that he does not consider himself one." United States Marshal S. S. Matthews, of Winona. Miss., was a conspicuous figure at the Grand Pacifio. "Our four delegates at large," he said, "are instructed for Harrison, and a majority of the others are favorable to the President. It must be said, tiownver. that there is a remarkably strong undercurrent of enthusiasm for Blame." Mayor Isaac McCann, of Richland Center, Wis., relieved the monotony of affairs at tho Grand Pacifio by producing a fat roll of bills which he nnsucessfully tried to place on McKinley for first place aud Jerry ltmk for second. Michigan's delegates in next week's convention will, according to Win. A. Gavett, of Detroit, vote solidly for James G. Blaine. Th State convention instructed for ex-Senator Alger, but Mr. Gavett says that Al?er is a Blaine man and that he will not insist upon the instruction of the convention being followed. Mr. Gavett Koes to Minneapolis in ndvanro of the Alger Club of Detroit, which will arrive to-morrow. Ex-Congressman Galusba A. Grow, delegate at large from Pennsylvania, arrived to-night at the Grand Pacific. Ho is a prominent candidate for permanent chairman ox the convention. He says that neither the delegates at large nor tho district delegates irom Pennsylvania are pledged, and that while his district would prefer the nomination of Blame, jet the latter's letter is taken as linal, aud he personally will vote for Harrison. WASHINGTON ALMOST DESEUTED.

Many Member or Cttngrens Have Goo to Minneapolis Callers on the President. trerUl to the Iinllanajolia Journal. Washington, June 2. Washington is practically deserted by Republican politicians, and a. good many of tnose who nre still here are packing up their trunks preparatory to taking the train to Minneapolis. In both the House and Senate there were a largo number of empty seats, and in the Senate it has become so apparent that it will be a hard matter to secure a quorum during the continuance of the convention that the managers have decided to practically ajourn until Monday, the 13th. Of course it is impossible for one body to adjourn for longer than three days without the consent of the other, and the adjournment to day was taken until Monday with the understanding that on meeting a second adjournment will be taken until Thursday, and from then to the Monday following. The talk here to-day is more strong in favor of the administration, even, than it has been before, and the friends of Mr. Harrison are very much encouraged by the outlook. The fact that Hon. John C. Sew hud opened bis headquarters in the convention city ahead of all comers was a matter of satisfaction to the friends of Mr. Harritton. aud lrom the manner in which the news has been received throughout the country it would eeui to have been a good political Htroke. To-day. among other who bavv started lor Minneapolis aro Mr. Carter, Commissioner of the Gen

eral Land Office: E. O. Leech, Director of tho Mint, and Fourth Auditor Lvncb. of Mississippi. They are nil ardent supporters of tho administration, and will assist Mr. New in keeping things lively around headquarters. Judge Hamilton Ward, of the New York Supreme Court, called at the White House and had a pleasant chat with the President. Afterward Judge Ward said to yonr correspondent: "I can assure you that notwithstanding all reports to the contrary a majority of the delegation from New York will support Mr. Harrison." Ex-Congressmen Uowden. who represented the NorfolK (Yn.) district in the last Congress, was also among the President's callers. Mr. iiowden was compelled to decline election as delegate to Minneapolis on accunt of bnsiness engagements, but he takes a keen interest in the result. When asked about tho stability of the colored delegation at the convention, he said: "I am conlident that nearly every one of the colored delegates from Virginia will follow closely their instructions as given them by the district conventions, and that thoy will be absolutely unpnrcbasable." The White House, has been connected with the convention ball at Minneapolis by two direct wires and two expert operators have been engaged to receive bulletins of tho action of the convention and such special dispatches as may bo sent from the administration headquarters. The President will also have at his disposal, through the courtesy of the press associations, the special bulletins sent out by the Associated and United Press. President Harrison will thus be kept in perfect touch with tho convention, and will be in receipt of the earliest information obtainable. PLATPS MOUTH STILL. WORKING.

The Arch-Plotter Incidentally Slurs McKinley While Shouting lor Illnlnc. New Youk, June 2. Ex-Senator Piatt, before leaving foj Minneapolis last evening, according to the Times, tired a partin g shor. To a Times reporter Mr. Piatt said: "I think we will have a very brief and enthusiastic convention. It will not last longer than four days at the outside, in my opinion." "And whom will you nominate?" was asked. "Why. lllaine, of course; nobody else is in it, to use a phrase." "How many ballots will be taken, do you thiukf" ".Now, bow many ballots does it take to nominate a man like Jim MlaineT Only one, of conrse. and when that one is started all tho secretary will have to do is to record the ballot bv States. He won't have to keep a tally-sheet" "Yon are quite sure, then, that Blaine will accept?" "Most assuredly he will. He can't and won't refuse." Asked who he thought would get second place on the ticket Mr. Piatt said: "I will tell yon when I come back." "WiUMcKinlev take UP "Why, he thinks bo's big enough to be President himself, nnd. besides, he is for Harrison. Oh no: if McKinley can't be President he'd rather be Governor, and it is well be is satisfied with the latter." "If Blaine should surprise you with an emphatic declination at the last moment, what thenf "That emergency will not occur, aud there is no necessity of speculating on it." Piatt Traveling In Armour' Car. Pitts fiu kg, June 2. Union Station was crowded with prominent politicians from the East this morning, and the national political situation was freely discussed by the passengers on every train that entered the station. Among them were a number of delegates to the Republican convention at Minneapolis. There were two special Pullman cars ou tho first section of the Western express. No. 0, each containing delegates, and the second section brought in ex-Senatnr Piatt and the New York delegation. They occupied the special Pullman car Mascotte. which was chartered by H. O. Armour, of Chicago, for the benefit of the delegation. Mr. Armour's son-in-law. Dr. Farquahar Ferguson, of New. York, is in charge of the party. KiU&rio-' tor Piatt oould uot be seen, as he did not leave his car. Eastern Delegation on Their Way. St. Albans, Vt., June 2. The Vermont delegates, with other Republicans, to the number of thirty, left for Minneapolis this evening by special train. At Swan ton they were joined by tho Maine and New Hampshire delegates, who came in a special of live cars over tho Central Vermont road. The delegations expect to arrive at Minneapolis on Sunday morning. Nkw Yokk. June 2. The special train which conveys the delegates aud representative Republicans of this State to Minneapolis to-morrow will leave at 10.20 a. M., making stops along the route through tho State. Tho cars will be decorated with tlags. streamers and emblems, aud on the side of each a piece of cauvas bearing the legend, "New York Delegation, National Republican Convention." Warner Miller Not Committed. New York, June 2. A morning paper telegraphed Senator Warner Miller for an expression ou the political situation, and this morning prints the following reply: "I have made no statement regarding the presidential matter and will not nntil I reach Minneapolisand havean opportunity to consult with my colleagues." Waner Miller has written a letter to John S. Kenyon, secretary of the Republican State committee. The letter is dated May 29. from Galveston. Tex. In it Mr. Miller says: "I am heartily in favorof the candidate who receives 451 votes In the convention." This is received as au indication that the Herkimer statesman is ready to support the Republican ticket loyally without allying himself for either of the two candidates who lead the race for tho nomination. McDonald and Ills Illalne Club. United Press Dlopntch. Fort Wayne. Ind.. Juno & R. T. MoDonald, the millionaire electric-light man, who is a contesting delegate from the Fort Wayne district, will leave on Sunday with tho Fort Wayne Maine Club, two hundred strong, for Minneapolis. McDonald was elected a delegate last Thursday by the anti-Harrison Republican convention. His supporters allege the Harrison delegates were chosen by a fraudulent system of votintr. McDonald is an enthusiastic I3l:iine man aud han the avowed support of Chairman Clarkson, of the Republican national committee, in his contest. McKinley' View ot the Ohioans. Cleveland. O.. June 2. Governor McKinley, in an interview at Akron, O., today, said, concerning tho Ohio delegation to Minneapolis: "I suppose the delegation will be divided, as I know there is some an-ti-IIarrteon sentiment in the State. The casting of the vote of the Ohio delegation will depend somewhat on tho circumstances attending the convention and the developments which take place at and prior to it, and cannot bedeiinitely foretold."

Special to t e Inrtlnnsi oils Jonrnii. Fort Wayne. Ind.. June 2. If the intelligence and judgment of the Washington correspondents en route to the Minneapolis convention be relied upon, President Harrison's renomiuation is assured. These men. to the number of over seventy, represent at the national capital the leading Republican and Democratic newspapers of the country, and their facilities for learning public sentiment are tho very best. A poll of the special Pennsylvania hue train shows that thirty-seven of the correspond

ents believe President Harrison will be renominated, while nineteen believe that Secretary Blsine vill permit his explicit letter of withdrawal to (Jen. Clarkson to be disregarded, and that bo will be nominated; the remainder are scattered between Reed, Allison, Alger and Sher man. It is expected that the serious work of the convention will begin on Thursday morning.when Chauncey M. Depew, the bigsestoftbebig four from New York, will piace the name of President Harrison before tho convention. The principal seconding speech will be made by Senator Charles N. Felton, of California, who declares the Pacific slope is practically soiled for Harrison, and can by him he carried again by the greatest majority ever given anv Republican. Senator Felton will be followed by Governor McKinley, of Ohio, and ex-Senator John C. Spooner, of Wisconsin, while the South will be represented for the President probahlv by ex-Congressman H.

In spite of Senator Teller's presence in the committee on resolutions, there will bo no freesilver plank in tho platform, and the silver problem will be roleguted to tho international monetary conference.

An Oath-Donnd Inside Circle Which Control the Alliance. In faeorgla. 'Augusta, Ga., June 2. Gideon's Hand is the latest factor in the politics of Georgia. Its existence threatens to destroy the little vitality which the People's party has left in the old Farmers' Alliance. Several eights ago, at a joint discussion iu Livonia between the Democratic Alliance men aud the People's party folks, feeling rose high. Rev. J. T. Vernon, a Baptist preacher, and president of the County Alliance of Hart, forgot his discretion and told the whole story. "There is," said be, "an inside degree in the Alliance order to which only a limited number are admitted. It was organized during the meeting of the State Alliance last year. I was appointed organizer for my county. The number to be taken was thirty in each county. This inside oirrle was to direct and govern the policy of the order, to decide who should or should not offer for publio otrice. We were oath-bound, and not even the other members of the order should know of our existence. The name of Gideon's Baud was selected." President Livingston, when questioned regarding the band, refused to speak. Ilenrt Watterson's Request. Special to the Tndtarapolis Journal.

For IndianaNorthwest winds and generally fair Friday; fair and slightly warmer Saturday. For Illinois Warmer; generally: fair Friday and Saturday; winds becoming variable, and later shifting to soutb. For Ohio Considerably cooler; cloudy weather and showers, with probably local thunder-storms; winds shifting to northwest; continued cool and cloudy weather Saturday; warmer Sunday. Weathkii Conditions A shallow trough of low pressure covers a narrow belt of country irom tho mouth of the SL Lawrent o to that of the Ohio and then to the oust gulf coast. Within it cloudiness and showery weather prevails, some local storms and high winds, as instanced by a phenomenal fall of rain at Detroit. A shallow cyclonic area has been slowly moving over Missouri and Illinois, aud now covers Indiana. Its development is no longer expected. This trough is between two waves ot high pressure, tbe most important being a low one on tho outh Atlantic coast, which bns given the Atlantic States unusually warm weather.with southerly winds. When a high area hlows persistently in the south Atlantic a type of weather exists that brings abnormal warmth and sparse rain-fall to the Atlantic coast States. A slight high barometer ridge extends from Lake Superior to Texas, but is rapidly diminishing. Over the northern slope a low area is present, moving slowly. The drawing of southerly wind toward it is increasing tho temperature west of the Mississippi river, and a warm period promises to prevail over the central valleys. A partial cooling in the Atlantic States is probable, as the cloudy and showery condition moves eastward. Local Weather Keport. Indian Aro lis, June 2.
