fi as it Is apprehended , is doing much to pave
the way for calm dclibcrato action. Even
the advent of the California delegation with
n blast of trumpets and blazonry of Blaine
banners did not excite the expected unthu-

When the Now England delegations put in

of no contingency other than n protracted

Pennsylvania and Now York are looked tons

the national committee.
Mr. Conger of Ohio , moved that the coii
ppilttoo proceed at once to the selection of
K chaplain , temporary chairman , twp seciv
ft A jiei. four reading BCcrctaiHci , five 'assW
ant secretaries nnd tm ofllclal stenographer.
Stephen 13. Elkins suggested delay until
Monday , particularly ns to the selection of
temporary chairman , Mr. Elkins said ho
only asked for the postponement to glvo the
delegation Just arriving n chance to express
their preferences. A number of committeemen -
men opposed the delay on the grounds that
It was unnecessary. M. D. Foley of
Nevada Intimated that tno Pacific
coast delegates were among those
who dcMrca delay. The disposition to grat
ify any reasonable request from the coast
men was nt once manifest. The question
when put to a vote was decided In their
favor by 10 to 13. The selection of the other
temporary ofllcors of the convention was
then proceeded with , Hov. P. W. Ounsau-
lus , pastor of Plymouth Congregational
church , Chicago , was unanimously selected
to open the ilrst session of the convention
with prayer nnd Hov. 0. A. Northrup of
Indiana , the second day. Hon. Michael
Griflln of Wisconsin , was named by M.r.
Payne for one temporary Rcctotary.
Mr Lawson moved to appoint
George W. Clissbco of Michigan.
Both were accepted unanimously.
Per reading secretaries Mr. Hooker named
Henry Ballnrd of Vermont , Conger named
David Liming of Ohio , Iceland named Colonel
Lake of New York , Sanborn of Michigan
named James H , Stone , nnd Littler nddcd
George M. BrlnhcrhofT , of Illinois , The
number of reading secretaries was incrcnscfl
to six , nud nil named wcro selected. Thomas
J. Brogan , of Tennessee , was suggested by
Mr. Brownlow for assistant secretary and
was at once elected. T. Blxby of Minnesota
seta , Henry M , Cooper of Arkansas and
William Nelson of New Jersey , were
also made assistant secretaries. The
list was Increased to eight , nnd the
names of A. W. Munroc. of Maryland ,
J. E. Wiley , of Toxns , John L. Miner ,
of Louisiana nnd C. W. Shlnn of West Vir
ginia wcro added. The selection of an ofll-
clal stenographer was left to the sub-coin-
iniUoo on nnangomcnts. Hon. William
Hnlo of Tennessee , editor of the only repub
lican dally paper published south of the
Ohio river , was honored with the position of
temporary secretary , nud the number of sec-
rctnrlcs was for this purpose Increased to
thrco.
Dakota's claim to statehood came up in nn
entirely now shape Unllko lust night , it
was now a matter of votes , not scats. Mr.
Now of Indiana moved that the national com
mittee iceomrncnd to the convention that
the ten olcgates for Dakota and six
from Washington territory bo each
given votes exactly as if legally declared
states. Mr. Conger of Ohio , who as chair
man of the sub-comuiittro to prepare the roll
of the convention , had last night opposed the
seating of extra delegates from Dakota ,
hcaitily Joined New in thu request for votes.
He explained thut his previous notion was
necessitated by his position as chairman.
Van Horn of Missouri earnestly opposed the
proposition , sayiug it would bo utterly unjust
to such states us Connecticut , which would
furnish votes in the November election niid
yet might now bo overridden in the conven
tion by Dakota , whoso people would bo pow
erless to elect the president. Thos I. Minor
of AVnshington Territory pleaded that the ex
clusion of Dakota nnd . Washing
ton Territory from statehood was
not the fault of their people
or of tlio republican party. Dakota's claim
to vote in the convention as a state and to be
allowed ton delegates on the roll was then
formally rutiilcd by the national committee
2T to 9.
Mr. Littler , of Illinois , who said ho had
been gieatly embarrassed by the number of
applications to him for admission to the con
vention , endeavored to have the mutter of
tickets reopened. The committee , however ,
after listening n few moments to Mr. Clark-
son of Iowa , on the subject , deemed the Idea
impracticable. An adjournment was then
taken until noon , Monday.
Convention Forecasts.
CHICAGO , Juno 10. One of the develop
ments of this evening is the open acknowl
edgement that the tight to seat In thcconven-
lon the additional sixteen Maliono delegates
from Virginia Is in tno interest of Senator
Slicrmau. TKo fight is yet undecided nnd
-iromiscs , unfos's checked , to become a battle
nto which the adherents of all the presidon-
ial candidates may bo drawn. The follow
ers of Blaine have so far prevented the full
consummation of the Shcrman-Mahono plan
of campaign. It is probable that the entire
Mahono delegation would have been seated
iut for the determined stand taken by the
Jlnlno men under the lead of Secretary Fes
sendcii of Connecticut The heated dis
cussion was almost wholly on technical lines
nnd devoted chiefly to the unit rule question ,
: > ut its bearing could not bo misunderstood
uy the sluowd politicians composing the na
tional committee. Colonel Hooker , national
committeenmn from Vermont and champion
of Sherman , declares publicly that the deci
sion of the committee Is the result of a com
bination of the friends of other candidates
against the Sherman men.
Senator Quay of Pennsylvania , who Is
ookod upon us n leader of the delegation
from that state , is for Sherman , and said
to-day whllo ho did not care to assume any
thing in advance of the arrival of the dele
gation , ho was satisfied that Sherman would
got most of their votes.
Chairman Cooper of the state committee
is also In the city. Ho Is for Bluiiio and S.IVH
on the start there will bo but forty votes
from Pennsylvania for Sherman nnd ten for
Greshnm , Ho evidently thinks ttiero will bo
a break for Blulno , nnd that the Pennsyl
vania delegations , with few exceptions , will
go over with the Blulno stampede.
Colonel William B. Hart , state treasurer
for Ponns.vlvnnla , says that ho does not think
there is nny danger of n break of the Penn
sylvania dt legation for Blnlno at any time.
There Is n mere complimentary vote mount
by the proncsition to vote for Mayor Filler
of Philadelphia. All the dolegatos-at-largo
will bo for Shorman.
The greatest inteicst was developed by the
managers of the different candidates In the
sentiments unil movements of the Pa-
citlo coast delegates. Immediately
upon the arrival of the coast delegates -
gates , they were compelled to
submit to nil sorts of Impoitunltles. Proba
bly the most significant event of the day was
the talk which several Paclllo coast dele
gates hud with Judge GrcHham , In this
conference the subject or Groshmn's tariff
vlows was discussed and his position was
stated. Tlio friends of Gresham have strong
hopes of support liom the Pnclflo coast
should the Blaine movement miscarry , but
tlio effect of the explanation of Gresham'e
position upon the gentlemen pi osont at this
talk was not especially encouraging ; to the
Giesham people.

Both men have been exceedingly reticent ,

emphatic in saying that UieMtijno delegation

Western Money In Fnlr Demnnd nnd
llntes Steady.
CmcAOo , Juno 10. [ Special Telegram to
the BhK. ] Very little change to note In
local financial affairs. The demand from nil
sources was fair , nndttip supply sufllciont nt
loanable rates of interest. Tno inquiry for
accommodations was from miscellaneous
branches of trade , and not very largo from
nny particular interest. The movement of
money to the Interior was moderately fice ,
and chiefly the corn nud oats sections of the
west , Tlio commission houses forwarded
considerable curicncy to their customers ,
and also received fair amounts of money
loaned on grain during tlio autumn and
winter months. Speculative trading in grain
und provisions lias slackened to some extent ,
consequently there has been a lighter de
mand for money from that quarter , though
calls for margins wcio somewhat frequent.
Shlppois of grain and piovisions borrowed
very little money nnd mainly on very shoi t
date papers. Packers aio virtually out
of the market , as their i equipments
nro not beyond their private means.
Lumbermen presented some paper for
discount , but their demands were not press
ing nnd they wcro icadlly uccommodated.
Wholesale merchants wcro moderate bor-
rowcis , though mainly in the way of a slight
extension of paper duo to rather slow col
lection in some bcctions of the northwest.
Hates of interest were steady and unchanged
though rather favoi ing borrowers who w anted
larger amounts than usual. Call loans were
accepted nt fifr"J per cent , depending on the
standing of the borrower. In eastern mar
kets the supply of money is quite liberal
larcely In excess of the demand , nnd borrow
ers aio readily supplied ut low rates of inter
est , ranging at 131'4 ' per cent on call and 4&
r per cent on mercantile time paper. Ad
vices from abroudlndioatcd a good supply of
money in the IcaJjng banks , with no par
ticular inquiry for loaus. . Bunk balances uro
gradually increasing. The season for u gen
eral slatkonlng of trade is approaching both
this country and Kiropq ) , and the rcquiie-
uients of most branches of business will bo
lighter than at other seasons of the jcur.
New Yoik exchange was in better supply
and the demand was only fair. The market
was only mOdoratcljTaefffo and sales wcro
made at 2o'rt40c prArfium per Sl.OJO nnd the
market closed quiet at : ! 0c. Foreign exchange
was offered sparingly am ? the demand was
only fair. The market wps quiet nnd linn.
Sales ot shippers' sixty days documentary
bills on London were made at $4 S5 ( H i-O c
and closed steady at S4. ii.f ( f 4.85K.
The New York sUiJK'iimi ket exhibited con
siderable activity darmgtho latter part of
the week , but the feeling was somewhat un
settled nnd pnces irregular E.uly in the
week the market was inclined to quietness ,
with tiadingconlined largely to Wall sticet
opeiators. Outside speculators were not in
clined to give the market much attention und
as the season is nppioachmg when the lead-
ngoperutois take a vacation , prospects aie
lotveiy favorable for nn aitlve businehi
until the closu cil summer. The eainings of
the railioadsuio fairly satisfactory , but opei
ators nrogluncingahcad and anticipate lui-
thcr decicase owing to the unsali ( factory
condition of crops and thu disagreements
among manugcis relative to fi eights. The
action taken by the legal authorities of diftor-
ont states regarding the equalisation of
transpoitution charges nlbo had some effcit
in an indiiect way. Trading dtmng the
week was chtelly in specialties , Heading ai.d
St Paul leading , und prices inled decidedly
lower , In some cases reaching the lowest
llgures In several years. Foioign operatots
were not disposed to do much business and
in most cases f.uoicd the soiling side of the
market. The aggregate sales on the Now
York stock exchange for the week weio

In Chicago less activity was noticeable in

nervous and unsettled feeling prevailed dur
ing the greater portion of the time. There
appeared to bo less interest manifested in
the leading articles especially by parties who
have been credited huietofoio with trading
in large quantities Prices have lluctuutod
considerably within n small iingo
and favored buyers to ROIHO extent. Trading
wus credited largely to local operators , oid-
cr- > from outside patties bUng smaller m tlio
uggiegato than duiing thu previous two or

crops were somewhat conllicting , though
they were taking into consideration the
backwaidness of the season. The National
Ciop Itcport ind'c itcd lo than an nvci.igo
yield of winterwheat und a lair yield of rye
and barley. Spring-sown crops were ro-
poi ted In good condition. The weather has
been more favorable for growing crops ,
though some local complaints uro received of
dunuigo by storms in some sections und
drouth In others. Advices from abroad in
dicate thut the crops uro somewhat back-
wuids , and in some countries the yield ot
the lending cereals will bo some
what lighter than hm year. The
arrivals of grain nt the principal
western markets have been moderately free
and shipments quite liberal , .noro particu
larly fiom lake ports. The supplies of
wheat , oats and barley have decreased ,
while the stocks of corn und r ) e uro some
what enlarged. The arrivals of grain ut the

H. St. Glair wus ot'rebtcd jesterday on the
charge of shooting with Hitcnt to kill Allco
McDonald the nlghlAiefoio at the disreputa
ble house at Klovenih Street and Capitol
avenue. Allco was ujso locked up to insure
her presence as a witness. She seems tc
have relented toward * her Jealous lover , nnd
now offers another explanation of the shoot
ing. After St. Clair struck her with a stick
the inadauio of the house blew a police
whistle. St. Clair skipped out of the buck
door and was followed by another darky.
The fugitive becuuio angry , picked up a rock
and tired it at the other coon , striking him in
tha back. Mr. Other Darky thereupon drew
his gun and II rod the two shot * ut St. Clair
but without effect. The story is not over
burdened with plausibility.
