CitiOAdo , Juno 14. The llrst comb'natlon '
between any two leading candidates for the
presidency wns brought to n culmination to-
' day. The friends of Hai rlson nnd Grcsham
wet quietly nnd In n short time their forces
wcro harmonized , It was nn Indiana family
gathering. Among the Hut rlson leaders
present wcro Attoinoy General Michlner ,
ex-Congressman Pcclonnd Sccrctaryof State
Griffin. Grcshum's representatives Included
C. W. Fairbanks , State Senator Graham nnd
Colonel Henry Drew. Hoth sides recognized
the folly of the friends of tlio two Indiana
men coining to Chicago to light each other.
The conference resulted in nn understanding
thnt tins friends of Hai risen and Grcsham
should not nttnck each other ; that both sides
Bhould do the best they could for their men
with friendliest spirit , nnd that the Indiana
delegates should vote solid from the slut t to
the finish. When It should become evident
in the convention thnt Harrison could not bo
nominated , then Greshuni should bo nccoidcd
the support of his native state. The time
when the delegates should In such a con
tingency begin voting for Grcshnm was left
to the honor of the delegates themselves
Mr. Fairbanks is a strong supjKjrter of
Grcshum , and sa.VA there is the friendliest
feeling between the old friends of Hluinonnd
the supporters of Grcshum , nnd that Grcsh-
nms greatest filends coino from these who
always voted for Hlnine. Colonel Ingersoll
is to mnko a speech for Grcsham , but not In
the convention. Hoforo the time comes for
nominating candidates theio will undoubt
edly bo moro than ono or moro mass meet
ings. It is at ono of these great gatherings
that Ingcrsoll Is to make the "grandest cf-
foitof his life. "
The honor of seconding the nomination of
Grcshum will go to John It. Ljnch ( colored ) ,
the Mississippi member of the republican na
tional committee. What was regarded us n

of 000 to bU ) , Including those to bo given the
mavor for distinguished guests. It was
ncarh un hour before the matter of tickets
vvus finally settled.
Cluikson called attention to the mutter of
selecting n chaplain. Several incmbcis of
the committee at once interjected that a dif
ferent chaplain every moining was desirable.
Ono committeeimui mischievously moved
thnt no chaplain bo selected by the name of
Hurchuid. Another moved that the clmi > -

gathering of republicans nt the union depot
this morning , cnrouto to Chicago , Among
the number wcro Senator Spooner of Wis

Coiigicssmcn McKinlcy und Hutturworth of
Ohio.
Senator Spoonor said : "Tho Indications
iKiint to the selection of ono candidate from
Now York und the other from Indiana. It
Is necessary that ono of the candidates be
long to Indiana , and it is fortunate that two
icfddonU from that state should be In thu

lies between himself and the acceptance of
the nomination after the two letters ho has
written. I would regard It ns an Indiscretion
in his friends to crowd his name Into the
convention after thcso two letters. "
Major McICInley said Shcrmnn vvn sure
of 300 volcion tlio first ballot nnd ho had
every reison to believe ho would be nomina
ted. "Hlnine , " ho said , "was out of the
race. The platform would bo squarely for
protection. " _
Gossip Preceding the Convention.
CHICAGO , Juno 14. Patrick Eiran , cx-prcsl-
dcntof the Irish National league nnd dclc-
gnte-nt-lnrgp from Nebraska , arrived to day.
Ho sujs of the ten members of the Nebraska
delegation , seven are for Ulnlnc , ono for
Algcr , nnd ono each for Grcshnm and Sher
man. Ho sajs : "Should no choice bo
i cached after n few ballots I should not bo
surprised If Hlnine was then nominated , "
Speaking of Ford's statement In connection
with Ulnlne nnd the Irish-American votes ,
ho said : "Of what Is called Irish votes to
the number of 70,000 in the state of New
York the greater part was given to the re
publican ticket because it represented pro
tection to American Industry. Mr. Uliiino
would undoubtedly get votes that no other
candidate could draw. However , any re
publican candidate on n protection platform
will poll a largo Irlsti vote. They will not
support frco trade. " ,
The Sherman headquarters wore formally
opened to-day with n lavish display of bunting
and n continuous pi occasion of visitors.
Among them wns W. J. Urown , a member of
thu national committee from Tennessee. Ho
said : "Sherman will start in with afar
gi eater vote than any other candidate. The
Hlnlno sentiment Is mostly among men who
have axes to grind. "
Governor Charles Forukcr is ono of the
latest in rivals. Hosujs : "Sherman will bo
nominated nnd elected. "
Speaking of Governor Alger , Mr. Frnzer of
Dctiolt said : "Tho nominee of this conven
tion must be ngood icpubllcan , n tried states
man nnd u bravo soldier. That is the kind of
i man wo propose to ofTcr. Michigan has no
second choice. "
The ari ivnl of ex-Senator ICcllogg and ex-
Governor Wnrmoth of Louisiana , has given
ilso to rumois of accessions to the boom of
Senator Itigalls of Kansas. Mr. Kellogg
was seen this evening and said : "Tho south
has no Intention of forcing n presidential
boom , but wo have the best of feelings for
Ingulfs und can say that from Louisiana ho
will receive nt least three votes. Louisiana
feels kindly towards Ingalls for his noble
attack on democratic political tactics as they
are earned out In our section. "
Mrs. John A. Logan has entered the can
vass for.Govcrnor Alger with old time en-
erey , spiced with a tinge , of bitterness towaid
the other candidate * . This new clement Is
likclj to create n good deal of bitterness as
It bus ulroudy consternution in moro than
ono delegation. Mrs Logan , on nriivnl at
the Grand Pacific , was waited upon by incm-
beis of the Chicago Veterans' union and
given a hearty i eception. She had n word
and-i hand shake for every old soldier. In
speukiug to the newspapermen who ciovvded
about her she paid u high tubutoto Governor
Alger. She says : "Ho has always
been honorable in his dealings. The
people say ho is unknown. The
reason for this is thnt he has not nntiigonizcd
anybody. Ho has not abused other repub
licans. This is moro than can be said of sonio
other candidates In the Held. I am fair
enough to believe that Uluiuo is honest , but
I think ho is out of the race. "
"What do iou think of the chances of the
partyf"
' My opinion may not be worth much , but
if General Alger is nominated ho will bo
elected. He Is stiong with the soldiers and
a safe , careful , honest man , who is true to
his friends. A man who is true to his fi lends
can bo iclieJ upon for his countiy. "

thnt the lending men on both sides of

POTSUAM , June 14. [ Now York Herald
Cable Special to THE Urn. ] Midnight
The emperor was Btlll nllvo nt lliU. : : No
ono wns niton od to enter or leave the pnlncc ,
which wns surrounded by sentinels. 1 spoke
w ith the physicians. All wcro unanimous in
the opinion that it was almost impossible for
the emperor to live through the night. The
emperor tit It o'clock was perfectly conscious
and frco from pain. Ho lies almost motion
less on his back nnd every twenty minutes
Mackenzie gives him through the tube small
quantities of whisky alternated with clnrct.
Until 5 o'clock ho wrote w'lth a pencil on lit
tle square paper tablets his last wishes nnd
family arrangements.
Hundreds of telegrams- from all parts of
the world arrive at the palnco and the cm-
press reads them to him. Among them were
messages from Queen Victoria and the
Prince of Wales. The Duke of Connaught
sent one from India.
The emperor wrote in pencil : "I feel
Mackenzie has done all that human science ,
watchfulness nnd skill could do to prolong
my life. I thank him. " On another slip he
wrote : "I have tried my best to do my duty
to my God nnd my country. I feel the end
Is now near. God's will bo done. "
The room in which the emperor Is now
dying is not ten yards from the one in which
lie was born. It is medium-sized. On the
walls -ire portraits of Emperor William and
all Emperor Frederick's children and half a
dozen engravings of Frederick the Great.
The emperor lays In n plain English brass
bedstead , at the foot of which , on an easel , is
n portrait of the empress by Angeli. The
empress herself sits beside her husband , nnd
has not quit him n moment in forty-eight
hours.
The crown prince , dicsscd In n major gen
eral's undress uniform , but without a sword ,
steps quietly in the sick chamber every quar
ter of nn hour. As 1 nin w riting m the unto
room , tlio next room to the ono in which the
doctors hela consultation at 8 o'clock this
evening , I noticed the crow n prince walking
slowly , with a pale stern face , up and down
the stone veranda. As ho passed the half-
open window ho would walk tip too not to
disturb his father.
Even the weather seems weeping for the
kniser. A steady , soaking rain is fulling. It
is impossible to discribo the grief of the
great maSses of people who bimply adore
Kaiser Ficdcrlck.
At 1 o'clocfc the train cairied Prmco ISis-
marknnd the specialinilitaty representatives
of the czar here , Count Kutusoff , both in uni
form. The chanotjllor looked exceedingly
serious ami with a wav o of the hand and n
shako of the head deprecated all attempts at
cheeiing. On arrival nt the little Sylvan
station of Wild Park Prince Ulsmnrck ic-
maincd nt the palace for about two hours.
This morning his majesty's mental facul
ties wcro quite clear. Ho displayed icslgna-
tion amounting to apathy. There was really
no improvement in the emperor's condition
In the course of the day , but only a doubtful
pause in the sinking of his strength. Ac-
cot ding to all acts denoted the cinpeior him
self in this dire cxtiemlty Is pei feet and
heroic to the last dcgicc , but indeed his > be-
havioi finds a woithy counterpart in the con
duct of his consort , who amid all her anguish
and despair is the very pattern of a self-
sacrificing , icsouiccful and devoted wife.
At one time the kaiser wished to see his
daughter Sophia , who Is eighteen today.
Seldom has n daughter icceivcd the con
gratulations of her parents under sadder cir
cumstances , The biithdny picscnts the

The royal thoateis closed this evening and
the capital generally lias a subdued and
silent air. The general preoccupation ills-
pluvcd was seen Inn most marked manner
on the bouiso , usually rcmaikablo for the
well-nigh unbearable uproars that prevail
during business hours. To day ono might
have been In a chinch instead of on change

As I conclude this dispatch the emperor's
state Is unchanged. Ho lies In a kind of a
stupor but is not jet unconscious. Some
times ho opens his eje.s and iccognlics those
around him. A pleasant smile passes over
his face when the cmpicss or

LONDON , ' Juno li. [ New York Heiali
Cable Special to TIIK Hi E ] There is one
paramount question underlying all the con
troversy now raging concerning the national
defences ; it Is the money annually voted b\
parliament for the urmyind navy beint
honestly nnd wisely spent. The Duke ol
Cambridge sa\s wo want moio soldiers.
Lord Charles Hercsford and all the sailors
asker more ships , but the Independent mem-
beis of parliament contend that wo ought to
get all we require of both for thirty millions
a year , the sum now ( wanted.Vhut pre
vents it is Jobbery , extravagance
and mismanagement. Itemovo these
and England might have a perfectly
efficient nimy nnd navy next
jcar. This belief accounts for the Imta- |
tlenco with which the demands for more
money are received hi the house and out ol
it. Hefoie Lord Hand'olph ChurchllT's special
committee the Duke of Cauibiidgo testified
that the army was too weak for the duties
required. Ho did not care to add w hat ho
must perfectly well know , thut if contracts
were honestly given out , superfluous otllciuls
cut ofT , useless clerks hi the \\arofticc and
admiralty dismissed , upd Other reforms car-
rled out , ho could very soon get the addi
tional men ho wants. Not moro ca-
i.iclty , but honesty Is the great cry-
ng want at tlio times in this
country. The government got n rude re
minder of this Tuesday night. Gross cases of
Favoritism and extravagance wcro brought
forward nnd the ministry thought their
frowns would flighten Us supporters and Induce -
duce them all to climb down with Its own
ngllltyns shown In Its standing by the licens
ing clauses ono day and dropping ther.1 the
next day. They defended n rotten sv stem
nnd wcro beaten. This Is the first real blow
which has been struck at the principle of
governing England for the bcncllt of the
privileged circles , Instead of for the benollt
of the whole people. The admlrnlity is a har
bor of refuge for the Hangers on of ministers
and cx-mlnistcrs. Last night's discussion is
the knell of doom for all this class. You may
depend upon it tlio nation will not consent to
give us nny moro money for nrms or navy
until it Is satisfied the sums already given
nro properly spent. Wo have big guns , but
wo are desperately afraid to let them off.
Kvcn if wo wcro not , there is no powder for
them. Competent men nssuro me , both the
army and navy would break dow n If any
serious crisis came upon us. Thoio
comes up the old cry of "moro
money , " nnd the people's answer , "what
hnvo you done with nil that jou have had I"
Thnt question will bo put with Increasing
sternness ns time goes on. The whole ofllciul
class stand together when Interlopers pre
sume to criticiso the ministers , denounce
them ns Salisbury denounced Woolsolcywho
Is not exactly nn interloper. The ofllciul
position is continually growing weaker. The
vvorkingmon throughout tlio country whoso
families get no fat contrncts nor pensions
nro becoming aroused , Hajonets , tin ships
armored below the water line , guns that
burst , shells that will not explode , shoddy
contractors and middle men , sweaters who
rob the poor and client the nation the nn-
tion has hud enough of them nil. A deadly
spirit of earnestness is being kindled ngninst
abuses which have become intolerable and
apologists of these abuses have only a very
limited time bcforo them to set their houses
In order. Such is the ically serious aspect
of Invasion pr , national defense questions ,
specially serious for the indolent or incapable
officers. Lord Charles Beicsford helped
to defeat the govcinmcnt on
Tuesday night. Ho is not afiaiil
to give practical effect to his opinions. Has
ho not been been behind the scenes and
knows the need of vital reforms ? As for the
country being In Immediate danger , few ba-
llevo that wo ought to bo moro ready than
we arc , but when was ev en England icadj ,
at least since Elizabeth's time ! Wo get into
danger and get out again at enormous cost ,
but still wo live. The people pay w Illingly ,
but they will not bo plundcicd. This minis
try had a grc.it oppoitunity bcforo It of lead-
jug the way of making n clean bwccp of red
tape and jobbery , it will not use it. What
then ! Some other ministry will.

in "L'Africaine" at Covcnt Garden theatre.
Miss Gordon , who is only fourteen yeaisof
age , is somewhat of u piodigy in that her
soprano voice was pronounced equally
poweiful and sweet. Mr. Van
Lcnncp had hitherto been known as the com
poser of soup and arrangements for the piano
forte , but the overture and numbers for this
more pretentious effort evidenced maikcil
ability for opciatic compositions. He , too , is
comparatively young. The Chicago dcbut-

presence of n distinguished audience , but she
icceivcd discriminating applause , especially
in what is populaily known as the Up is
Tree song , which closes the opera and ic-
