as yet but few prominent arrivals , but a

THK INDEPENDENTS.
David Allorton , who ia secretary of the
Now York independent organization , ar
rived last night , and says the Independ
ents do not want either Arthur or Elaine ,
urging in support of the statement that
neither of them can carry Now York. It
is understood that Edmunds in the chcico
of the independents represented by Mr.
Allorton and that if they cannot nomin.
ate him they will probably transfer as
many of his votoa as they can control to
postmaster general Gresham. Since his
arrival Allorton nas been in consultation
with the Chicago independents nnd Ed
munds' men represented by N. K. Fair
banks , Franklin , MoVongli , Gen. A. C.
McClurg , E. G. Kaith and others. Goo.
\Villiam Curtis , Carl Schurz and other
distinguished independents from Now
York are expected in a day or two to
take charge of the Edmunds and Gresh
am boom.
THE AUTUUH SIEN
are in fine feather , and think that the in
fluence of the business men hero who are
for him , combined with the effect of the
mooting in New York , will keep his boom
at the height to which it has been ele
vated during the last two weeks. Con
gressman Breitung , of Michigan , has
been up in hisstato looking over the field.
Ho said the morning before returning to
Washington that although Michigan was
counted us solid for Blaine , with its
twenty-six delegates , bo had reason to
believe that time had worked changes in
all things , particularly on the Michigan
delegation. Said ho : "When the dele
gates from Michigan were elected the
tidal wave waa sweeping over the country
and Michigan fell into lino. Since the
election of the delegates have had tirao to
study the situation and they have found
that as a candidate
AllTIiaU HAS ailEATKU LASTING POWERS
than Blaiiiu Blaino's magnetism ia
great , but it is of a kind that must betaken
taken hot ; if it geta cold it sours on the
stomach. His boom was like Logan's it
was sprung too aoon and givn too much
time to fritter out. There will bo a moro
solid foundation to the Arthur boom , be
cause there ia something solid in Arthur
himself , llo eommands n raapect that
Blaine could never command. Ho hns
advocates who are too clean to touch the
man from Maine , and if the nomination
is to go to anyone of the candidates now
leading in the race , it will go to Arthur. "
I HE LOGAN LEADERS
in the city are having a hard time of it
keeping the Illinois delegates from falling
out of line and going over to their individual -
vidual favorites. They recogniso the
fact that Logan has no chance for the
nomination , and are aniious for a chance
to vote for some one who has. The
loaders hero are receiving many letters
from the rural districts declaring that
unless they wnnttoseo thoirmandeserted
they must withdraw him as soon as they
decently can. To this reply is made
that
LOGAN ItEMAINU CONFIDENT
ho can _ win the race by staying on the
track till Blaine and Arthur have worn
each _ other out. Madam rumor was in
dustrious to-day. Amr.ng others mooted
was that the southern delegates were
wavering in their allegiance to Arthur ,
and that Wra. Pitt Kellogg , seeing how
the tide vraa turning , had decided to cast
his fortunes with. Blaine The Arthur
men ecouted this idea , saying , they had
lottera from points where there had boon
any doubt , assuring thorn that everything
was solid.

ments to all delegates on whom they can

going out of their way , in order to drink
m political wisdom at tho'fountain head
before going to Chicago. Ono of the
most active of thoao workers ia Fred

WASHINOTON , May 27. Ker , in his
testimony before the Springer committee
to-day , said it seemed that Kellogg had
gene about the newspaper otliccn and
talked aboutj him. Ho , had boon informed -
formed that he ( Kellogg ) had told certain -
tain correspondents that ho would or
ought to take a shotgun and blow out his
( Ivor's ) brains. " 1 want to s.iy right

WASHINGTON , May 27. Senator Came
ron ( rep. , Pa. ) appeared in the senate
this morning , and the senators congratu
lated him on his aafo return and improv
ed health.
Mr. Slater , from the committee on
public lands , reported favorably the bill
to forfeit the grant along the uncomplet
ed portion of the Northarn Pacific rail
road.
road.Mr. . Hill submitted n report from the
committee on postoflices nnd post-roads
on the subject of the postal telegraph.
Mr. Laphan submitted n report from
the oommtttoo on privileges and elections
on the Danville investigation.
Mr. Vance is preparing n minority re
port.
port.Mr. . Sahbury submitted n minority report -
port on the Copiah county investigation.
The senate took up the bill to grant
the Cinnabar & Clark's Forks railroad
company the right of way through a portion
tion of Yellowstone Park.
Mr. Conger nibmittod an amendment
to limit the company's control to 0110
hundred feet in width and prohibiting the
company from erecting buildings excapt
for station purposes.
Mr. Logan opposed the bill. There
waa , ho said , a disposition to "gobble
up" everything in connection with the
park by railroad and hotel companies.
Mr. Veat gave the detaila of the man
agement of the park and said every word
stated by Logan was true.
Mr. Brown ( Ga. ) said the Edmunds
bill was a shameful violation of the con
stitution. Ho contrasted what ho termed
the " polygamy" of Now England and
the polygamy of Utah. Assuming that a
third of the divorces in Now England the
past twenty years had been for adultery ,
there were still 30,000 persons divorced
and married again , who were practiaing
polygamy in Now England. The com
mission acting under * ho Edmunds bill ,
after having searched Utah with a test
oath , could find but 1,200 mon and
women who would not swear that they
had never in their lives boon guilty of
polygamy. Prostitution was practised in
Now England to an alarming extent , and
fcoticido to an extent that in less than a
century would depopulate Now England
of its Puritan stock. A nation of Mor
mons was impossible ; not BO a nation of
libertines.
Mr. Hoar replied that ho could only
infer that Mormonism waa moro in accord
with Brown's convictions than opposed to
them. The presence of a largo number
of mulattos in the south remained to bo
accounted for.

the Wallace McKinley contested election

THE 1'ENNHYLVANIA ItANK.
PiTTSiiuua , May 27. The affairs of
the Pennsylvania bank continue to bo
the engrossing subject among all classes ,
but up to noon there was as little defin
itely known as at the time of closing yes
terday. President Riddle slept fauly
well last night , nnd this morning had
sufficiently recovered as to enable his
friends to remove him to the residence
of D. A. Stewart , East End. Two
well known and experienced bankers
made n careful examination of the books
last night. Every opportunity was given
them to make n superficial examination.
According to their statement the books
showed
§ 300,000 DUAWN OUT
fromtho time of resumption Friday until
the closoycstcrdaywith dopositsdecrcased
correspondingly. The statement that § ! iOO ,
000 certified chucks wcro not includ
ed in the statement made to the associa
ted banks is incorrcctno euch chocks ex
isting. In their opinion , if the books
are correct , the bank ought to pny ovoiy
cent of its debts. There is leas talk of
crookedness nnd the impression is
growing that the second suspension
is duo wholly to timidity and demoraliza
tion when President lliddlo was suddenly
prostrated. The directors havu not made
A statement , but there is a general demand -
mand for something authoritative from
them of the bank's actual condition. The
general condition of other banks is un
changed.
The directors of the defunct bank this
morning took possession of the individ
ual book accounts of the concern , nnd up
to ono o'clock had struck some develop
ments which promise to show why the
second collapse came so suddenly. There
is among the accounts ono of the firm of
D. Wilson & Co. , which shows the ovor-
chocking to the extent of § 210,000.
NO SCCII FIKM
is known in this city , and it is supposed
it represents the accounts of a number
of persons lately operating on the wrong
side of the oil market and bcon allowed
to drain it to the amount named. The
director , who furnished the information ,
states further that the account of a prom
inent oil dealer is overdrawn § 97,000.
Those two accounts overdraft § 331,000 ,
or § 7,000 in OXCOBS of the entire capital
and surplus of the bank. The directors
have appointed a committee to employ
an export to go over the books and re
port as speed ily as possible.
