projectors. Such crowds of people attended
nnd such a general surprise was manifested
nt the beauty of the scenery , the nbundancd
of natural resources nnd the excellence of

that the preparations necessary had been

great excitement of the week has been the

final outcome.

that their ballots would bo cast In favor of
the city of beautiful drives , lakes aud scon-

the sporting circles of Minneapolis and St.

Ho says that he looks upon the coming con
test as the crisis of his pugilistic career , and
is determined to make the clTort of his life.
Killon , In conversation with n reporter ,
said :
Q"Anybody can see how ridiculous it would
bo for mo to do anything but make it as hard

the Planters' hotel was discovered in flames.
An alarm was quickly given nnd the differ-
out hose companies promptly responded. By
this time the burning oil was n sheet of
flame uiul threatened to wipe out the entire
hotel. The greatest consternation prevailed
in that hostelry , and trunks hurriedly packed
were drojjgcd down stairs or piled up in the
hallways until they looked like n succession
of baggage rooms. The flro laddies , how
ever , subdued the llames nnd saved the
main part of the building. The kitchen and
coal storage room were both consumed , leav
ing only the charred skeleton of both. The
kitchen utensils , which were worth in the
neighborhood of SMtO. wcro all ruined. The
total loss is estimated in the neighborhood of
52,000 , but Is fully covered with insurance.
The cause of the blae is unknown.

after n few more. ballots. As matters now
stand it Is n combination of
Tiir. rintn 'AOVINST ' m.Atxn.
Sherman Is regarded as the principal obstn-
clo to the success of Ulnlnc , and his with
drawal would Insure , It Is thought , Hlaine'a
nomination. It Is known that fully one-hall1
of the Ohio , Pennsylvania and Now York
delegations would g < j to Ulnino In that event ,
and many of thr * smaller states would fol
low. It is probable ; therefore , that the Sher
man vote will RO'lifnnumocrof / points on
the first ballot to-mdrr6w.
I nm informed nnd have n good
reason to believe that Sherman
will get the Wisconsin delegation.
Should Harrison bo knocked out , ho will re
cover to-morrow most of the southern dele
gate * who were taken from him by Algcr ,
that the Hlniniaca in Now York will transfer
to Ins standard , that three additional votes
will bo given him from Pennsylvania , nnd
that several straggling votes will bo ndilod
to his column from other states. This Is the
hope nnd belief of thoShcrmnn men to-night.
A roll call to-morrow will reveal on what
grounds tholr faith Is based.
The conference composed of representa
tives opposed to the Harrison combination
assembled this evening. It was decided to
proceed no further for the present , and to
await the events of to-morrow. Tliero was
an understanding , however , that nil the
forces represented In the conference
should co-opcrato to frustrate the nomi
nation of Hlainc. It Is apparent
that there has been n hardening
of the lines of the opposition to Hlalno since
yesterday afternoon , nnd the danger of his
nomination has been materially lessened.
Phelps still Insists that there never
has been any danger of Hlaino being nomi
nated , but ho has boon practically nlono in
this opinion. I know I hat yesterday after
noon J , S. Clnrkson Was
uiAi > r TO Tiniow IOWA
into the Hlalno column If Chauneoy Dopow
had created his expected stamped from Harrison
risen and that would have carried most of
the Allison strength with it. Senator Alli
son's followlug might Uavo not given Up
hope. They insist that their position Is ns
good hs over , nnd that they hope to have
tholr man selected as the ono with
whom to boat the Hlainlncs If
Sherman fails. Harrison's malingers
still profess confidence , and insist
that to-morrow the Hlntno vote will largely
come to them. I infer from conversations
with the Harrison men that there Is an un
derstanding to make the ticket Ulnino nnd
Harrison should the latter full to obtain ilrst
place. This would Indicate that the Hlaino
men are simply couuettintt with the Iloosiois
for the purpose of securing their support for
Hlaine should they succeed in bringing nbout
the conditions for which they have been la
boring , and so the balloting will begin ngain
to-morrow , practically on the same lines.
The Hlnlnlncs will be jittackod from a posi
tion slightly change but with better re
serves. It may mean''a quick victory , but
the Indications point to a stubborn contest.
TUB ALORK \N\finilS ,
nt 11 o'clock , claimed'that ' the contest lies
entirely between tftclr candidate and Sher
man , nnd they havK every reason to expect
success. They claim ( nll the Massachusetts
delegation , Wisconsin , half of Illinois and
twenty votes in Missouil , with now contin
gents from the south/ They predict a nomi
nation to-morrow. '

Blnino is said to have nsraln declined. At
this hour , 1 n. in , , it is confidently nssortod
that a cablegram has been received from Mr.
Hlainc which will bo madd public to-morrow ,
in which ho positively declines under any
circumstances to accept the nomination if
tendered him. A prominent politician as
sures mo that ho has read the dispatch. The
situation is ngain changed. Senator Quay is
boasting that Sherman will bo nomi
nated on the second ballot. Efforts have
been made to combine with Alger for the
second place on the ticket. Sherman's in
terview of this morning is now read in the
light of the alleged Olaino dis
patch. It is believed that Sher
man had information from Mr. Hlaino
privately. The Pacific coast is breathing
tbreatcnings and slaughter to-night in case
Sherman's combination wins.

to-night , at which nil but four states were
represented. Klkins announced nuiid cheers
that no dispatch had boon received from Mr.
Hlaine. A committed of flvo was appointed
to poll the delegations , arrange for u distri
bution of the Hlaino votes nnd force an ad
journment to-morrow. Another conference
will bo held in the morning.
TO TEST IILAINK'S &TIIHN'0 til.
At 3 o'clock the Hlaino sub-committco Is
still in secret session. It has been decided to
test the Hlaino strength early in the conven
tion , either on n motion to adjourn or on a
vote for Hlainc. The full programme will bo
outlined at this morning's 0 o'clock
meeting. New York will hold
a meeting at the same time. The present
decision is to vote for Harrison on the first
ballot nnd then to throw for Sherman. The
coast delegates hope to change the deter
mination. They announce that Sherman
cannot carry the Pacllio const under any
contingency. It will bo an all night session
for the lilaiuo sub-committee. Meanwhile it
may bo announced that the Sherman mon
have gone to bed , Mural Halstcud , in his
dispatch to the Cincinnati Commercial , pre
dicts with eonlidenco Sherman's election.

No Cessation of Activity Among tlio
Politicians nt Clilonuo.
CuiCAfio , Juno 24. The presidential situa
tion is practically unchanged. To-day has
bi ought only n fair understanding of the con
ditions under which this remarkable contest
Is to bo fought out. It bus gradually dawned
upon the convention that certain men who
pretend to represent Hlaino , had determined
to prevent the nomination of any other candi
date in order to make Hlalno's nomination a
possibility. Tlio convention , as a whole , 1ms
Just awakened to a realization of the negative
inlluence which has all along prevented -
vented a crystalizatlbu of sentiment
and a nomination. The friends of the
other candidates nro indignant that the
convention should bo Dominated by un In !
finance which , without an avowed candidate
of Its own , attempts to push sincere can
didates to the front and then defeat them. So
much feeling developed that various
cablegrams have been seat to Hlaino besides
thosn which ho is supposed to receive from
Klkins and Phelps. In these dispatches
the actual condition of affairs hero has
been fully described nnd the bad fee ling
and probable demoralization of the party if
his representatives are parmittoJ to continue
tholr tactics , carefully pointed out. Tlioio
is a general uollof that some dispatch from
Hlaina will bo road to the convention to
morrow. Probably one requesting his
friends to refrain from voting for him.
A Chicago man who has boon empowered
to epeajc for Hlaino and who Is a man
of good Judgment and not a poli
tician , was called Into the conference
1 of Hlaino just before the meeting of the con

lion. This man looked over the list , saw
that It comprised the names of delegates
who nro here ostensibly for other candidates
and at once gave his dictum. "This
thing must come to a stop , " suid-
he. "Blaino cunnot take this nom
ination by riding over tlio rights
of many men now in the Held. Ho regards
them all as his friends and knows they have
entered this contest in coed faith , boiloving
him to bo out by his own act. You propose
to druw delegates from the support of these
men to underminii and defeat them. If jou
nominate him In this way a cablt gram will
bo i ecoived from him in twenty minutes de
clining the nomination , and then yon will
bo in a worse predicament than over. "
Itcluctantly Klkins and Ins colleagues con
sented to postpone the Hlainc coup and the
friends of all the candidates except Harrison
Joined the Hlaine men in forcing an adjourn
ment till Monday morning. Tlio .situation
to-night may bo described ns follows : In tlio
convention to-morrow all thu candidates will
stand linn. There nro no withdrawals. Tlio
conference of anti-Hlalnc men has agreed
not to present any candidates for the suppoit
of the opposition. Indeed it is
unable to agree upon n candidate.
There is a deep feeling on all sides that the
' Hlaino or Uust" programme is not sanc
tioned by Hlaino himself. The plan of the
opposition is simply to stand linn nnd wait
for Hlaino himself to speak forhlsropiesonta-
tlves to force the Issue. The feeling is that
if Hlaino does not settle the matter the con
vention will have to settle it , nnd that the
convention cannot sincerely go about the
business of choosing a leader ns long as this
Hlaine specter hangs over it.
The convention to-morrow morning will
face the fact that the candidates whom
Klkins professed to have killed arc all still
in thu race. They are In for the purpose of
winning If possible , and determined nt all
hazards to prevent tno nomination of Blaino.
To-morrow's balloting is likely to
show a repetition of the ballots of Saturday.
While these candidates nro in the
Hold Elkin.s will not dare carry out a pro-
gramo of stampeding the convention because
ho has heard authoritatively Irom Hlaine.
Thus a deadlock will appear and unless
Hlaino himself cuts the knot and sets the
convention free to act upon its own responsi
bility the convention may sot for several
days without reaching a bolution of the ojUra-
ordmury difficulty by which it is now sur
rounded.
There has been much talk of McKlnloy ns
a dark horse. There is no doubt that Me-
Klnlcy has made a line Impression and that
ho is popular on his own account , but it has
been noticed that those who were doing all
In their power to press him to the front were
Hluinomun. In the conference of candidates
tlio Blaine influence has been excited in
favor of adopting McKinley ns the leader of
the opposition forces , all the antl-Hluino
men in the convention c6)iceiitrating )
their strength upon htm. This elicit loin-
duce other candidates to withdraw and
bring McKinley forward as a dark horse is a
Hlaine scheme. Just as soon as the pieseiit
avowed candidates leave the Held nnd
n dark horse takes their place
Hlaino will be nominated. The logic
of this Is easily perceived. Hlaino
can not in honor take this nomination if so-
cuivd by running over candidates who on-
toiod the Held and did the best they could for
themselves , but If these candidates voluntar
ily withdraw and a dark horse takes their
place no obligation rests upon Hlaine as to
the now comer , who has not been a candi
date and whoso friends have put lorlh no
efforts In his buliulf , on the supposition Unit
Hlnino was out of the race.
An oiToit has been made by the Hlnino
pcoplo to get Forakcr to btutul
as n ( lurk horse and Fornker
has posed before the convention
with that purpose in view on a distinct
understanding that if the antl Hlaino in
fluence could bo Induced to rally about him
Hlaino was to boat him , the vice presidency
being his reward. An effort has also been
made to play upon the ambition of MclCinloy ,
.but without success. McKlnloj has been
loyal to Sherman , Au effort Is also being
made to bring Cullom forward as a dark
horse , thus destrojing Gicsham , nnd ii duo
time a similar clTort may bo made to under
mine Harrison by playing upon the nmbl-
tiou of ex-Governor Porter.
At one time Satuiday there was some
prospect of the McKinley piogrammo sue-
cocdlnir , nnd Sherman had really released
the Ohio delegation from obligation to bun-
self. The Hlaino men wcro fanning the Mc
Kinley blaze , but they overplayed the gumo
and wcio detected. Sherman withdrew his
withdrawal , his representatives hero denied
that ho had retired from the race , and the
senator himself was interviewed in Wash
ington to the Mime effect.
Convention Note .
CIIICAOO , Juno 21. The sub-coiYimlttco to
look over the Held and recommend a ticket
which would meet with the approval of all
factions , presented the following report to
the conference committee this evening :
The members of the special committee ap
pointed by the conference do not believe It
judicious to suggest n ticket for submission
to the general conference.
The report was adopted unanimously with
out discussion and the conference adjourned
to meet again to-morrow evening.
The New Yorkers during the day decided
to stick to Harrison nnd will vote for him on
the flrst ballot.
William Walter Phelps of Now Jersey
visited the Illinois headquarters to-day and
had n long conference with Senator Farwoll.
This gave rise to a rumor that the Greslium
and Phelps people had formed a combination
and that the ticket would bo Gresham and
Phelps.
Governor Foraker was closeted for several
houis with the Hlaino leaders to day.
Still Solid For Shnrinnii.
CHICVOO , June 21. The Sherman mana
gers have got their second wind to-night and
are mysteriously confident nnd satisfied over
the prospects of to-morrow's session of the
convention. Nothing dollnito can bo learned
fiom any of them , but a Is known they
have repaired all the broken fences in
the Ohio delegation nnd that the delegation
will vote solidly for Sherman ngain to-mor
row. Govcinor Fornker , who last night said
there would bo a break , saj'H this evening it
will bo unanimous for Sheiinan. The men
having Sherman's interests in bund here
huvo boon very busy with the Now Yoi k
delegation to day and in spite of the appar
ently authentic report that New York had
changed its determination of last night to
vote lor Hlnino and would go buck to Harri
son , it is assorted in certain qnuiters to night
that they will support Sherman.
Hlnliu ; Kuinoi'H.
Cnirvno , June 21. The Hlulno rumors to
night are us many as the loaves in the forest.
Ono of these which bus gained the largest
circulation Is the statement that Hlaine has
cabled to somebody that ho would
accept - the nomination under no
conditions and instructing his friends to
desist in the canvass. Another rumor is lethe
the effect that several tulegrams have boon
Bent by different delegates to Hlnlno usKiiig
him if ho would accept the nomination , uiul
that Hlalno's friends , notably Klkins and
Mnnlov , have also cabled asking Hlaino to
make no reply to these and allowing the Im
pression to piovail that hu would accept.
Sherman Hold * the Key.
CIIHMOO , Juno 21. John M. Lnngston ,
colored ex minister to Haytl , declared to-day
that the Sherman foi co hold the key to the
situation uiul when the time conies they
will decide the nomination. It will bo either
between Blnino and Khci man or Hlaino and
n man named by Sherman.
