THC TKLtQIlAl'lIIO AllHANaEMENTS.
CHIOAOO , May 28. Summers , the
electrician of the Western Union com
pany , was interviewed about his arrange
ments for the convention , lie said : "Iho
company have n space allotod to them
thirty by seventy foot. They are fitting
up temporary tables for instruments , nnd
nro extending two largo cables from their
main office , corner of Washington nnd
LaSallo streets , to the convention build
ing , containing nineteen wires each , mak
ing a total ot thirty-eight wires which
can bo worked quadruples and duplex ,
thereby increasing the facilities to nearly
ONE HUNDllEU W1UES.
A full force of operators will bo In at
tendance , and it is believed thn enormous
amount of matter which such occasions
bring to the company for transmission
will bo handled promptly. The wires
will bo wnrkaft direct from the building
to New York , Washington , Baltimore ,
Philadelphia , Pittsburg , Buffalo , Cleveland -
land , Cincinnati , St. Louis , Omaha , and
other prominent places , and no effort will
bo spared to accommodate the public ,
both In transmission and delivery.
TI1E TRAINS
this morning brought but a few persons
connected with the republican conven
tion , and none of these have any special
prominence , except Coonor , of Ohio , and
only the member of the Mahono committee -
too from that state , and who is also a
member of the sub committee , and has
come to assist Mow and Governors Clay
ton and Martin in arranging the details.
Ono Arkansas delegate arrived this morn
ing and made directly for General Pow
ell Clayton's residence ,
A. COLOnEll MAN ,
Ferdinand Haws , of the second district.
Ho said that ho expected to vote for
Arthur , who was the choice of the state
of Arkansas and the othorsouthorn states.
Sjcrotary Chandler was being anxiously
looked for to-day , but ho had not arrived
nt one o'clock. David Allorton , secre
tary of the New York state republican
conference committee , says ho does not
expect the independents of Now York to
arrive hero until Saturday morning.
Fifty will arrive in a body from New
York city nd an equal number from Buf
falo. 'I ho national sub committee was
in session this morning considering
THE QUESTION OF SEATS.
This matter haa given the committee
no little troublj. They are bothered to
toll how they are to scat the various
states , as a convention , numbering nearly
two thousand , is an uuwieldly body at
best. Order nnd fystem from the start
are necessary ; hence the committee have
decided to arrange the places allotted to
each state alphabetically. Alabama will
bo next the press stand , Arkansas next ,
and soon _ down the list , the territories
occupying back soala. The committee
also appointed Saturday as the day when
tickets to bo given to newspapers would
bo distributed. The place and the pro
rata to each are matters upon which
the comintto is yet working.
BLAINE AND AIITIIUK IIEADQUAHTEKK.
It in p-ntty well u.'uferstood now that
the Grand Pacific trill be the headquar-
tori o iho Blam and thoPalmor the
hea JqUiirlcrs of tlio Arthur men. Stephen
B. Eikina has permanent rooms at the
Pacific , and ho H known to bo for Blaino.
1 Ex-Senator Chiffeo'a room will also bo
there. At the Palmer , Collector Spauld-
ing will have a. parlor ; Powell Clayton
and John 0. Now will bo domiciled at
the Palmer also. The Leland will bo an
Arthur wigwam to a great extent , but it
is not desired to have every adherent at
a certain hotel. The intention is to scat
ter them around.
THE MOST NOTICEABLE FEATURE
B > far in connection with the convention ,
is t o nuu&er of newspaper men early on
tha sceno. Some of them say they are
her t early because they believe neither
Arthur nor Blaine is going to bo nomi
nated , but that the nominee will bo set
tled upon before the convention meets.
Gejrgo Alfred Townsend said to-day that
bo n as inclined to think there would bo
some very decisive work done on Satur
day , Sunday and Monday.
MIUIUOAN'H CHOICE.
Colonel Stockbridge , of Michigan , said
to a reporter for THE BEE that twenty
of tlui dolfgoitfa from his state were for
Blaine , but that they will not stay with
him after it becomes evident that ho
cannot ho nominatedand that the second
choice of nearly all of them is Arthur. A
sly old j olitician , who generally knows
what he is talking about , said to your
correspondent to-night : " I suppose you
liovu noticed that the Chicago colored
politicians have opened headquarters for
delegates of their race. I suppose you
also know that
TIIK LOCAL COLOltEI ) MEN
are all for Logan. I asked ono of thpm
why ho was for Logan and ho said it was
because there was moro money in it than
in be ig for anybody else. "Now , " con
tinued the old politician , "you know Lo
gan hasn't got much money , and besides ,
ho knows ho hasn't got a ghost of a
chance for the nomination ; so it is no *
probable that ho would throw away good
money if ho has it. Where does
THE CASH COME FHOM ,
then ? Where else should it come from
than from the managers of the Blaine
boom ? Don't you see the scheme ? It
( , 'ivci the darkies an opportunity to go to
r * .
Blaine by easy stages , nnd apparently
nftor having shoTUi n preference for both
Arthur nnd Logan. Don't you see how
it would strike Arthur in ft vital point ?
Depend upon it , that plan has boon laid
out in the lUaino councils. It. remain )
to bo seen whether it will work. "
A rOUl'LK OK FOOLISH 1IETT01LS.
Special Dispatch to THE UKE :
WASIUXOTOX , May 28. A queer bet
has boon made on the floor of the house
to-day. A member from Now York bet
a member from Pennsylvania $500 that
ho could not name the nominee of the
republican national convention iu BIX
guesses. The Pennsylvania ! ! named
Blaine , Edmunds , Loganilawloy ; , Lin-
coin , nnd Grosliam. Ho declined to
name Arthur as ono of the six on the
ground that there ia a combination of
other cnndidatea against him , which will
render his nomination very difficult.
This merely shows how mixed even
congressmen sometimes got on questions
of the day. Even the Bmino moil admit
Arthur has gained strength -within the
past two weeks , nnd that ho is the only
ono they hnvo to fear.

THE NATIONAL OUKEN1IAOK CONVENTION.
INDIANAI-OLIH , May 28. The national

were represented except Delaware and
Misssissippi , The business transacted
nt the morning session was the appoint
ment of a committee of credentials.
CONTEST FHOM MAINE.
Ono sot of delegates , headed by Solon
Chase ( anti-Butler ) , is the only ono of
importance. Goo , 0. Jones , Now York ,
attempted sovnral times to got in a reso
lution favorable to the Chase delegation ,
but was not recognized by the chair , and
was hooted down by the convention.
The convention adjourned till 2 o'clock
to give credential committee time to re
port.
IIASIIFUL HEN.
During the day the following telegram
passed between Governor Bcgolo and
General Butler :
* INIHANAI'OLIH , May 28. Governor Butler ,
Boston : Will you accept n nomination on n
satisfactory platform. No other question bore.
.T. W 13EOOI.K.
BOSTON , May 28. J. | W. Bepolo , k Indian
apolis : Thanks for your consideration , but
why should 1 bo askocl n question which un
der like circumstances was never put to any
other man ? Is not my record as a grooaback-
or for twenty years sufficient without a form
al pledge to you , which would cause ma to be
pointed at as a man who bids for a nomina
tion. BENJAMIN P. BUTI-EH.
ACTUAL PRESENCE OF DELEGATES.
Almost the entire afternoon session
was occupied in a discussion of the ques
tion whether dolegatcsroprcsontingstatcs
whoso delegations were not complete
should be allowed to cast the entire veto
to which the states were entitled. The
discussion was quite heated , and al times
great confusion and disorder prevailed.
After three hours debate it was decided
no votes bo counted except those of delegates -
gates actually present , this being regarded
as a triumph for Butler. Under this de
cision the actual vote of the convention
is411. _
THE OAO.
It was ordered that all reaolutionsbo re
ferred to tbo committee on dobato.
A committee on resolututions of ono
from each state was then appointed.

Northrup , of Ohio ; 0. Roberts , of
Texas ; J. F , Norton , of Illinois ; B. W.
Torlinde , of New York.
The proceedings wore very boisterous ,
which was largely duo to the inefficiency
of tliG temporary chairman , General Ty
lerof Florida ,
A WOMAN ORATOR.
Ono of the best speeches of the day
was tqado by Mrs. Augusta Bristol , of
Now Jersey. Her remarks were almost
entirely political , with incidental refer
ence to woman's aiilfrago. She made a
tolling hit in describing the character of
the man the convention should nominate.
When uho closed by saying , "Ho should
bo a man with an eye single to the
best interests of the peopln. " This was
taken as a reference to Butler , and was
roundly cheered.
The convention was also addressed by
Mr . Mary Haggort nnd Miss Frances E.
Willard in behalf of the suffrage and
temperance.
GENERAL WEAVER ,
after his election , was conducted to the
cha'r , and delivered a speech reviewing
the growth of the Qroenback party , com
mending its principles , and denouncing
the financial measures enacted in recant
years by members of the old parties. At
the conclusion of Weaver's speech a recess
was taken to 7:30 : p. m.
THE EVENING HEHSION.

ing. Finally , a national committee was

TIIK 1'iTTsiiuKci HANK MUDDLK.
Pirrsnuua , May 28. In the extreme
ly muddled condition of the Penn
bank nllairc , the absence of President
lliddlo , the only person who holds the
key to the accrota of the bank , mid the
reticence ot the directors and others con
cerned , no dollnito conclusions can bo
reached , but now it is taken for
granted thattho depositors will bo
FORTUNATE IF T1IKV GET FIVK 1'KU UENT.
of the amounts entrusted to the bank.
This much is definitely known , the concern -
corn in completely gutted , The assets
diminishing rapidly , the liabilities swell
ing oven more rapidly. Those who had
a call on the resources drew with unspar
ing hand and there is little loft to tell the
tale. The books shed yory little light to
identify these who despoiled the institu
tion , as the accounts arc in fictitious names.
A capitalist like W.H.Vondorbilt is made
to masquerade on the ledgers for these
getting aid in sumo unknown way of the
depositors' money. The shortage grows
hourly as'.tho intricacies of book accounts ,
nro unraveled , and from § 350,000 over
drawn it has grown to $1,000,000 to-day ,
and the end is not yet.
SO CLEAN A SWEEP
has rarely been made in Pittsburg.
The liabilities are believed to reach over
two millions. It is said the bank's
methods date back throe years , to the
time of the Cherry Grove oil excitement ,
and since them the bank has boon losing
ptcadily. A prominent business man
who is acquainted with the alRtirs of the
bank , says if it had closed its doors
March 1st , ho doubts if the depositors
would have realized 10 per cont.
Last night after business hours \V. N.
Riddle , by attorney , filed confession of
judgment in favor of the directors of the
bank for $97,750. The judgment , was
put in the hands of the sheriff , with in
structions to levy upon a largo list of
persons , corporations and institutions as
garnishccs. The Penn bank charter
was purchased from a defunct institution
and was very liberal. It provided that
no stockholder or oflisors shall bo assess
ed or liable for any purpose whatever
for any greater sum than face of stock
hold by such stockholder or oflicor.
DEFICIENCY 8T1LL UllOWS
and this Qvening reached 5200,000.
Heavy defalcations are also hinted at
which it is claimed , will roach nearly a
million. Many of these who made de
posits Friday threaten the bank ollicials
with criminal proceedings for false pre
tenses in obtaining money. Cashier
lloiber is under police survillianco.
The Pennsylvania Mutual Protective
association , organized a few years ago ,
with the ostensible object of insurance of
the lives of its members , is now believed
to navu boon primarily designed to bring
a grist to the Pennsylvania bank mill , in
the shape of collections and assessments
when deaths occurred. The association ,
however , is not of great importance.
This afternoon the directors unpointed
Henry Warner , ex-county commissioner ,
assignee ot the bank.
THE HOT SPRINGS AIISCONDEK.
Sr. LOUIH , May 28. Andrew Bruon ,
the missing president of the Hot Springs
( Ark ) bank , which failed yesterday , was
arrested hero on an Iron Mountain train
this morning. Bruon was accompanied
by a lady named Mrs. Steel , of Peoria ,
111. , with whom ho was reported to have
fled from Hot Springo , . Bruon and Mrs.
Steel wore first taken to the Lacledo hotel
and afterwards to jail. Ho professes extreme
tromo willingness to go back but says it is
an outrage to take the woman too. It is
supposed she knows whom the money is
which Bruon took from the bank.

MAHSHALLTOWX , May 28. The fifth
annual meeting of the Iowa Pharmaceuti
cal association closed this evening , to
moot iu Council Blulls the second
Wednesday in May 1885. The meeting
was the most largely attended nnd most
enthusiastic in the history of the associa
tion. Many able papers were read. The
action of the moat general interest was
the interpretation by the association of
the existing condition of
TUB l.IQUOll LAWS.
as relating to druggists , and as to how
they will bo affected under prohibition.
The otato commission of pharmacists re
ported to the association ns follows :
"It In our opinion that the nctpannoil [ by the

The association adopted this view by
unanimous voto.
The attorney general has , however ,
been asked his opinion. Should ho en
dorse this position , its strength would bo
such ns to to effectually settle all contro-

Should ho dissmit , it will in all probabili

ment restricting pensions ta these dependent -

or the assistance o" others , was laid on
the table yens 40 , nays 20. Ono clausn
of the bill , as it came from the house , re
peals the section of the revised stUulcs
that prohibits pensions to Boldlers who
engaged in the rebellion against the
United States , but limits the repeal to
oases coming under this act. The sonata
committee recommended striking out the
limitation , but the senate vote 35 yean
to 28 naya laid the amendment on the
table ,
Mr. Hoar moved an amendment ex
tending the provision of the bill so as to
include nil sohliori of the union army
who served in the rebellion ,
ivugiin remarked that ho supposed this

in the United States court to-day , it being -
ing auxiliary to n suit boguu nt St. Louis
yesterday in which Solon Humphreys and
Thomas E. Tutt wore appointed receivers

is simply for the purpose of bringing that
portion of the road in Illinois under the
saiuo jurisdiction.
The Daily News will say : "Tho system
comprises ; t,000 iniloe of rend in Illinois ,
lown , Indiana , Missouri , Ohio nnd Michigan -
igan , mid n mortgage of $50,000,000 on
the property is hold by the Contrnl Trust

a loan of $10,000,000 wns secured by the
Wabash from Ilio Mercantile Trust com
pany upon the engines , stock and bonds ,
and last December another mortgage was
given thi'l ron Mountain road upon ad
vances.
The business of the system for the past
year has been poor , nnd it has run be
hind expenses $1,000,000 nnd many
suits are being instituted against It. As
the company have not the means to moot
the somi-aniuml interest of Juno 1st on
the bonded debt , the present action is
taken to offset the foreclosure suits
which the mortgagees should institute
should that default bo made. The object
: if the original suit is to keep nlive the
leases which the road holds , nnd keep
( ho entire system in operation in order
that all the crodittra may be protected.
The receivers will ; take chargeof the
