CHICAGO , III. , Juno 20. [ Spools ! Telegram
to THIS Bii.J : On the eve of the democratic
nnllo'ial convention tm overwhelming ma
jority of the party represented here is found
indlnsolubly wedded to the Idol which led it
to defeat und disaster iu 1SS3. The name ot
Cleveland evokes enthusiasm la every quar
ter. Boles men join in cheering the catidi-
defeat. The
aito-nt-lurgo while hopinpforhls

prpssivo blaze of ClovclandUtn. It pone-
trotcs Tammany headquarters nnd cheers
for Cluvclaud arc as frequent , if not as
bcnrty , us th so for'11 ill.
It Is nll-porvading and irresistible and
will , unless thu shrewdest political calcula
tions err , rasultlu the nomination of the ox-
president within forty-eight hours.
Ilnpo4lii | ; of Dangerous Ilooms.
Tiio feature of the day was the evident
cell a ps o of the movement to force
Uorman to the front as n com-
promise candidate , SUrowd calculating
ana practical , the senator from Mary-
laud weighed the chances of success nnd Ilnd-
ing Cleveland's forces ns flrm as a stoiio
wall ho wisely stranded a boom that had
not been fairly launched.
Ex-Governor Uamnbcll of Ohio is posted
for permanent chairman of tbo convention as
a pence offering nnd also as a check to presi
dential ambitions in that quarter.
Senator Pulmnr. the tnaenotle western
man , professes boundless loyalty for Cleveland -
land , and has taken charge of thu Illinois
forces. The friends of Horace Boles of Iowa
are conducting a clean , dignified and good-
tempered campaign , making friends on nil
sides , but none of the Iowa rustlers bollovo
Boles stands a ghost of u chance for first
place on the ticket , nor is It likely ho would
get second place if ho wanted It.

Opposition to Cleveland of an aggressive
kind Is confined to the Hill forces of Now
York. They profess confidence in their
-ability to defeat Cleveland In the convention
Put are reluctant to disclose the basis of
their fionlldonco. At present they are con
ducting u vigorous campaign among the dele
gates from the middle states , using free sil
ver us u club to convert Cleveland men. The
Tammnnyltcs groiv warmer ana
moro oxeitca as they approach
the huge feast of the crow now being prepared -
pared for them in tbo wigwam. That they
will swallow tlio dose and profess loyalty
for Cleveland when nominated , as they did
on two previous occasions , Is a certainty. '
But will the enthusiasm for Cleveland sur
vive the boat of midsummer und the frosts
of October )
ft The untl-snapparsunblushlngly assert that
bo will swoop tbo Htato like a whirlwind ,
thut thousands of.republicans will vote for
him , und thut Tammany will bo whipped
Into lino.
Wlmt New York Mny Do ,
StiUo Senator M. L. Haven ot Syracuse ,
N. Y. , a cool headed , practical politician , a
protepo of Horatio Seymour , denounced the
published statement to the -effect that ex-
Secretary Whitney had placated the regular
delegation. The proposition was ridiculous ,
ho sold. "Wo do not carry the vote of Now
York In our poclcots. When the party is
united and the candidates popular wo
win. The fact that Flower carried
the state by 47,000 lust fall Is
not a criterion of what the state will do this
fall. Calculations must bo mada on former
presidential years , tha elements ot strength
omDodlcd In the candidate and the platform
nnd the aggressive harmony In the ranks.
Cleveland carried Now York as a candidate
for governor in 183K by 11)3,000. ) .The next
year , as a candidate for presi
dent , ho was olcctcd by a scratch , even
with the support of Hoscoo Conkllng
and Henry Ward Boochor. Four years
Inter , with the prestige of his administra
tion , his army ot mugwump oftlcoholdsrs nnd
a united party , ho was dcf9atcd by General
Harrison by 11,000. Has Cleveland gained
In strength Mnco ISsSI
"President Harrison hat given the coun
try a strong business administration , Ho Is
certainly us strong in Now York'Htato today
" " ns ho was four years ago. Wo como here rep
resenting the regular democracy of the state ,
thu democracy that hui under the leadership
of Duvid Dennett Hill -achieved triumph
otter triumph until not ? tbo party controls
every department of the state government.
Wo assort that Cleveland cannot carry Now
York btatc. Wo know the temper of the
people. I venture the prediction that should
Cleveland receive the nomination ho will lose
irom ouo 10 ten votes in every polling dis
trict of the btuto. "
Mr. Haven's uoiulmenU are echoed by
many prominent Nelraska democrats who
ronarf1 Mio pressure for Cleveland without
the sanction of hU own state as the height
of folly. NobraskutiB xvio support Clove-
land's asplri'Ions consldoi the oppoililon of
Tammany . > a blessing in dlsgul . Kx-
( tongrcsstmiu McSbano voiced a common
sentiment when ho told a Tammanylto that
ho hoped ( ho democracy would soon ba rid ot
tiia dictation and strife of Now York ana
could elect the party nounnoa without ibo at-
BUtauco of the Empire state.
Humors uro rUe tonight and nro as thick

Cleveland In nomination. Tuo fact that
Gorman bus tupprcitcd his boom sires color
to Ihlk loport. Another Is to tha effect that
under on alleged bargain with Whllnoy
votes on the first ballot will bo scattered and
on too kccond Tammany will head a stum-
podi ) to Cleveland.

llxed thing * in n manner that promised sua
ecu. Jt wan decided that CharU * Otfden
should inherit Boyd's ' national jommlttco
tnantlo , nnd that the governor would
bo chairman of the delegation , The
plan miscarried. Another railroad attorney
wns pitted against Mr. Ogdon. It wns the
Burlington against the Omaha , and the Bur
lington won. Tobias Castor was chosen
member of the national committee , nnd W.
H. Thompson of Hall county chalruun ot
the do'iogatloni
DThc selection of Castor is regarded ns n
black eye for the governor nnd the Samosot
bravoa. One of the latter denounced the ac
tion of the committee as scandalous pander
ing to the Burllneton.
Carroll S. Montgomery salt ! ho had nocauso
for latnentallon , winked knowingly and van-
tshcd. The Jacksonlnnsaro tickled beyond
measure. A'dcmocrat from n back county
declared that the railroads , having lost their
grip on the republican party , chose the next
host. What n spectacle Mr. CaUor will
present ns chief bottle holder at the coming
fusion of the democrats and farmers alliance
In Nebraska.
The remaining selections of the delegation
are : On resolution committee , N , S. Har-
wood of Lancaster ; on credentials , F. II ,
Spoartnan of lied Willow ; on permanent

What Nebraska Men Say.
'It ' Is nine-tenths of the party against one-
tenth , " is the way Hon. Charles H , Brown
expresses the situation , "and this one-tenth
assumes to dictate the party's leaders and
policy. They can't do It. "
"It is Cleveland. The others nln't in It , "
exclaimed Hon. John A. Croightoc , and the
sentiment was re-echoed by W. H , Thomp
son of Hall county.
Mr. Thompson says the estimates of the
preference of the Nebraska delegation are
not correct. Ho canvassed the members and
found only two opposed to Cleveland. Hon.
Charles Ogden favors Senator Gorman , and
Frank Dahlman of Dawcs county Incline ! ) to
Hill. This makes a gain ot two votes over-
the claims made by the Cleveland men.
Sojourning lowans infused new life into
the Boies boom this morning. A whlto clad

The Jacksonlan club of Omaha arrived

tec Owens lor Temporary Chulriniiii.
CuiCAOO , 111. , Juno 20. To the anti-Cleve
land forces belong the llrst honors of war in
the contest for control of the democratic na
tional convention , The rational committee ,
at its meeting this afternoon , decided
by a vote of two to twenty to
present the name of Henry Wat-
terson's candidate , W. C , Owens of
Kentucky , ns the temporary chairman of the
convention. Tbo Cleveland pcoplo ill brook
defeat and will carry the contest onto
tbo floor of tha convention immediately
alter the convention is called to order. Un
less the Cleveland men abandon their pres
ent intention , this will develop , though not
perfectly , the strength of each side In the
convention and wilt show , the utmost
strength of the opposition to Cluvcland , and
probably aomelhinc In excess of that
strcncth , as some Cleveland states voted for
Owens. The announcement of the intention
to contest was made in the national commit
tee immediately after Mr , Owens bad won in
committee on a call of the roll between
himself and William L. Wilson , thu tariff re
form member of tbo ways und moans com
mittee from West Virginia.
Wattersou'H 1'cntlstont Work.
The fight for the control of tbo temporary
organization has been going on since Friday
nik-ht. Mr. SVnttorson entered into the fight
on behalf of his state colleague with vim ,
nnd bud the national committee canvassed
before it was decided by the subcommittee
to "suggest" Mr. Owens' namo. The death
of the late Senator Harbour 01 Virginia loft
the subcommittee with only four members
and early in the proceedings U was a tie , Mr.
Hansom , though not n Cleveland man , favorIng -
Ing Mr. Stevenson on personal grounds , and
with Mr. Prathor of Missouri counterbal
ancing the votes of Henry Wattorson ana
Lieutenant Governor bheohan of Now York ,
This was shown the llrst tlmnlho subcom
mittee mot , when the Clovclund managers
convoyed an intimation that Owens was not
acceptable to them. An adjournment over
Sunday was taken nnd it was In this Interval
thut Mr. WaUorson went to work to seat his
young Kentucky friend In the presiding
oftlcor's chair.
The report of this canvass convinced him
that Owens was nil right and Mr. Wattor
son has not hesitated to express bis con
viction that Owens would be the winner.
This morning the subcommittee mot pur
suant of order and at once decided In favor
of Mr. Owens , and decided to report his
name to the full national committee.
Will Millo a Fight on Uwcnu.
bomo of the Cleveland men were In favor
of acquiescence in tbo decision ot the sub
committee , but Mr. Harrlty and Senator
Vllas said that they would make a fight on
him. Stevenson was dropped as the man
with whom to oppose Mr. Owens , and Wil
son of West Virginia was taken up as the
Atrongast man the Cleveland pcoplo could
put in opposition to Mr. Owons.
It was 12 o'clock when Chairman Brlca
called the national committee to order. Alter
some preliminary business Hansom of North
Carolina , in behalf of the subcommittee on
temporary organization , nominated for tem
porary chalrii.au William C. Owens of Ken
tucky. 'Ihis nomination was seconded by
Henry Wutterson and others.
Mr. Holt of Texas nominated Mr. Wilson
of West Virginia. Hiram Atkins oi Ver
mont seconded tbo nomination , as did sev
eral others. Brief complimentary speeches
were made , setting forth the merits of the
two candidates.
While the speeches were going on nctlvo
conferences were taking place between the
Cleveland men. Kx-Socretury Whitney
aoaudoned the Cleveland headquarters for
the tlmo bolng , nnd hovered around the out
side of the national committee room head
quarters , Ho hold conference with Mr.
Hiirrlty and ether commitluomon whom ho
had culled out of the meeting room.
How the State * Votuil ,
Mr , Owens' selection
was vigorously op
posed , but whi'ii the roll wns called It was
found that that gentleman had 23 votes to 20
for Mr.Vllsou , The vote in detail by stales
was us follows :
In favor of Mr. Owens Alabama , Arkan
sas , Colorado , Florida , Georgia. Idaho , llll-
uois , Indiana , Iowa , Kentucky , Maine , Mary
land , Michigan , Missouri , Montana , Ne-
braslcu. Nevada , Now York , Norlb Carolina ,
Ohio , Tounossuo , Virginia , Wyoming , An-
goirn District of Columbia , Now Mexico und
Utah.
In favor of Mr. Wilson of West Virginia
California , Connecticut , Kansas , Louisiana.
Minnesota , Mississippi , Now Jersey , North
Dakota , Oregon , Pennsylvania , Uuodo
Island , South Dakota. Texas , Vermont ,
Washington , West Virginia , WUconslu ,
Alasua and Oklahoma.
The states of Delaware and South Carolina
lina wcro temporarily absent whoa the roll
was called and did not voto.
After the announcement was made , a mo
tion was entered to make Mr , Owens' selec
tion uuauinioun , but Mr , HoHof Texas gave
notice that ho would present a minority ro-
port. Whot'jor ornot the Clovolnna men will
mnko a sqiinro test of strength in the con
vention and all of them support Mr. Holt on
n motion to adopt the minority report re
mains to bo seen.
Not it I'nlr Test or Strength.
An analysis of the vote In committee shows
that It was not a square alignment of the op-
poilng forces on the presidential question.
All the states voting for Mr. Wilson score to
bo states In which the Cleveland sentiment
is preponderant , unless It bo the state ot
Mississippi , but in the list of Mr. Owens' sup
porters uro to bo found several states ot
\vhoso devotion to Cleveland's Interests
tucrocnn bo no doubt. Tnui Michigan , in
structed to vote for him as a unit , favored
the adoption of the sub commlUee's report ,
as did Massachusetts , which , while it did
not instruct for Cleveland because of state
custom , warmly commended htm nnd nut few
but Cleveland men on guard. Illinois , which
is usually classed for Cleveland , also voted
for Owens , and so did Instructed Tennessee
and rock-ribbed Maine , which is a Cleveland
state , though Its commlttoomon , Soivcll , is
doublful of Mr. Cleveland's ' ability as a win
ner in New York state.
Now .Members or the Committee.
Other business was transacted ns follows :
Two members of the committee , senator Bar-
hour of Virginia nnd C. W. Broadwator of
Montana , had died during the year and la
their places ns newly chosen members of the
committee were Basil B , Gordon und Martin
Muclnnls , respectively.
Aluska'was aamlttcd to membership in the
national committee for tbo llrst tlmo , A. 1C.
Dolany bolng Its representative. The other
states and territories were represented by
the regular commlttoomon.
Tbo committee then heard for the first tlmo
ofllcially ot the arrangements made for the
holding of the convention. Chairman Brlco
made a verbal report of what the committee
at seven appointed to arrange for the con
vention had dono. The report was satisfac
tory and the wigwam was accepted.
A delegation from Indian Territory was
given tickets entitling them to scats on the
floor of the convention.
ti. P. Shcorln , national co'mniitteoraan
from Indiana and secretary of the committee -
too , it was agreed , should bo recommended
as secretary of tbo temporary organization ,
and ho was given authority to appoint tea
assistants.
Colonel Richard J. Bright , also nn Indlanan ,
was chosen sergoant-at-arms and given
power to appoint the necessary subordinates.
uoionoi tldward w. Dlcltlnsnn ol JNow
York was appointed ofllcial stenographer.
Now Mexico was then on deck seeking six
delegates Instead of two , and she .succeeded
in getting what she wanted. " It wns .secured
by the adoption of the following resolution
offered by Mr. Field of Albuquerque :
Resolved , That this committee , disclaiming
the rlisht to dictate to the convention what
action It shall lake with reference to the
claims of Arlrmiu and Now Mexico to ad
ditional loprusontatlon , recommend that the
claims of Now Mexico und Arizona bo rocoB-
nlzcd by the convention to the extent ot tl-
mlaslnu to the convention with a representa
tion equal to thu representation ot the small
est state.
If this goes through the convention , and
there seems to bo no reason to expect that It
will not , the four provisional delegates each
territory elected wilt have places in the con
vention. This wil swell the total member
ship to U04 und make 001 votes necessary in
order to secure tbo nomination.
Tbo cominittoo then adjourned suhjcet to
call.

CHICAGO , 111. , Juno 20. The fight between
the Cleveland and Uray factions in Indiana
Is over. ThoJ. two factions of the aologation
mot for the llrst tlmo Saturday afternoon ,
when the Gray winglcd by Senator Voorhoos ,
capturid ovorythlng In sight from the chair
manship of the delegation to the committeeman -
man to notlty the nominees of the conven
tion. Tbo Cleveland faction , led by D. S.
Moras , editor of the Santmcl , did nothing
more than resolve to stay all summer if nec
essary to nomlnato Cleveland. Up to this
afternoon the members ot the two factions
did not speak us they passed by. The Cleveland -
land men were especially bitter at tbo Gray
men for having appropriated to themselves
all the committees ,
Held .Separata Cnunmen ,
At ! 1 o'clock both factions hold separate
caucuses , The Cleveland men were rein
forced by C. H. Hollurd and J. E. Cass of
the Tenth district. For the llr.it tlmo these
two delegates entered thu Cleveland caucus ,
both promising to stand oy Cleveland as long
us bis name was before the convention.
At the Gray caucus the delegates were
demoralized. An Informal talk showed that
every delegate conceded Cleveland's nomina
tion , In order to place the state In a credit
able position before tha country , it was de
cided not to present Governor Gray's name ,
but 10 join the Cleveland faction and vote as
a unit , for the ex-president. The Cleveland fac
tion having secured half of tbo delegation ,
gave the antts to understand that It was a
matter of indifference to them whether they
came over or not.
When tbo two factions had been seated In
secret session at the Palmer house this after
noon not a word was uttered until John E.
Lamb announced that Governor Gray's name
would not bo presented , and then moved that
iho delegation vote as u unit for Cleveland on
the llrst and subsequent Dallots. '
Editor Morss. for the Cleveland side , do-
mnndod n call ot tha delegation so that each
dolosato bo placed In black and whlto. Every
delegate voted far Cleveland.
Voorhoes Will Seconil Cleveland.
James Murdock , another anti-Cleveland
man , proposed thut Senator Voorhces should
sficond the nomination of Cleveland. Senator
Voorhees , at the request of the delegation ,
accepted.
W. E. English , who had Boon originally
selected by the Cleveland men to perform
this duty , will follow Senator Voorhoes , so
that both factions will second Cleveland's
nomination. Gray's ' name was not men
tioned at tbo mooting.
When the news ot the reunion of the two
factions reached the Victoria hotel , whore
the atato committee and tbo Indiana clubs
ura quartered , there was great rejoicing.
The action of the delegation was received
with general approval.
On the result of the action of the Indiana
dblogullou , Editor Morss suld : "I have no
doubt thnt the anti-Cleveland delegates were
Influenced by the Hood of telegrams
received by them today from all
parts of the state urging them to stand up
tor Cleveland , 'iboro was no bargain made
with the anti-Cleveland faction by which
tboy were to support Cleveland In considera
tion of the nomination of Gray for vice pres
ident. Governor Gray's name was not
mentioned and the other faction came over
to us voluntarily. "

Cuicvao , III. , Juno 20. Confusion and ex
citement were Hung into the conference ot
silver man today almost at the outset. An
abortive ending of the whole movement
seemed Imminent , but the final success
achieved was all the greater by contrast.
The explosion came from a premature sug
gestion that the caucus proceed to talk
over the matter of candidate * . Instantly
tbero was a hubbub , "it's no use , "
"Couldn't nirroe , " "Too close to the con
vention , " and dozens of similar comments
met the proposal.
Harmony I.noun Uji ,
i The understanding among the loading
spirits In the conforonoo was that a report ,
should bo made to conccntrutu tbo silver
votes under the leadership of Colorado for
Gorman. Practical refusal of the caucus to
oven consider the matter , much loss untto
upon a candidate , was a disuzreoable sur
prise , but thoio who wore chiefly instrumen
tal in gutting tbo caucus together adroitly
avoided forcing an Issue at the beginning
that threatened , if then protsed , to precipi
tate perhaps. Irretrievably dl ou lou. In.
Head ot ahoatt and

bent toward produclnc a silver plank for
which nil present would ] plod go themselves to

Tbo dulcet eloquence , nnd quick Intelli
gence ) of T. M. Patterson of Denver
was broticat Into play , und under his skill
ful piloting harmony as big tun mountain
soon began lo loom Into vlow. Ho carefully
avoided any mention ot presidential candi
dates , nnd urged n full expression from
every man present as to what should bo
done , and the best method of going about it.
In place of nn angry donate ensuing ns to
the fitness or unlltnpss of the different can
didates , the lorty-two delegates present , ns
a result of Patterson's dcllcato maneuver
ing , were soon "eng&gcd In nn earnest but
harmless discussion of the phraseology ot u
silver plank , the most Ingenious schemes for
the plunk , when constructed , to bo pushed
through the platform committee , and the
course to bn pursued when the p.atform'
reached the convention.
llvrry Ono Unloaded Illi Kloqiience.
All of the Intricacies of silver legislation
aroo apparently in the three mortal hours of
spcoch-mnklnglbftt followed , but every man
from the Kooky mountains that came to Chicago
cage loaded with an address on the silver
question was given full swing to unburden
himself.
The "round-up" catno In the form of n mo
tion to appoint a committee of one from onch
state represented to help frame the much-
discussed plonk. The motion was carried ,
and by this tlmo tbo Inclination " to pugnacl-
ousnoss , so prominent oarly"In the proceed
ings , had thnrouchly evaporated , the distri
bution of honors In ibo form of places on the
commltteo helping in mollifying these who
doubled that anythlng.uttor nil was to como
out of the caucus.
Solzlcf'n favorable opportun'ty Patterson
again took tbo Hoot , ana after pointing out
how much depended upon united action
gradually led up to a statement thut ho had
originally bean a Hill limn , but of late had
become convinced that the most favorable
man from a silver stalidpolnt , the candidate
favorable to the stiver Interests who had
aroused the least antagonism and was most
lixoly to win , was Gorma'n otMarylaud _ ,
Sivolllng the florm.in .IHmrn.
When Patterson's1 remarks were rein
forced by T. O'Donooll , another Colorudo
delegate of market ] ability , who proclaimed
himself an original Gorman man , the tompar
of the caucus to\vard the Maryland senator
began to show symptom * ol decided warm-
uiurit or Nevaan heipca on the Doom. TOO
Montana delegates' wb.ro not slow to fall into
line , and the representatives forming the re
mainder of the conference , after much buttonholing
ton-holing and canvassing of the possibilities
of the balloting In the convent ton , put them
selves on record by declaring ono after
another a preference foV Gorman or a will
ingness to unlto in.hls.sbpport.
When the patient manipulation and Infin
ite tact of the leaders in the caucus had been
finally crowned with dua reward , adjourn

The correspondence nnd documents rela
tive to the recent negotiations between
Canada and the United States which wcro
sent to the senate today by the president
accompanied by n message were in response
to a recent request for the same by the senate
nnd they cover nil the particulars of the
affair In the clearest and most complete man
ner. The full text of the mcssago avid ac
companying documents will bo reau with
much interest nnd will servo to show the
reasons why any agreement in regard to ths
proposed arrangements between the two
countries on the basis urged and desired by
this government was nn impossibility.
There Is ono sentence in the letter sub
mitted by Hon. John W. Foster which will
bo rend with special interest. It Is that In
Which ho says ho participated in confer
ences by the direct Invitation of the
secretary of state , Mr. Blaluo. A few
days ace a report was published to the effect
that ona reason. Ifitiot the chlot reason , why
Mr. Ulalno'b resignation was precipitated so
suddenly was that he hud been subjected to
humiliating criticisms by'General Foster in
the presence of the Canadian commissioners
during the recent conferences. It was said
that while Air. Hlaino was making n state
ment of the position of the United States itu
rogurd to ono of the matters under consider- ' '
alien , bo was Interrupted by General Foster ,
who remarked that Mr. Btalno's view of the
case was in direct contradiction to the view
entertained by the president. According to
the report this so angered Mr. Blulno that
he'abruptly terminated the conference und
went off ana wrolo his resignation.
The storvwhich always had seemed doubt
ful , becomes ctill moro improbable now in
connection with the sonlunco In General
Foster's letter just alluded to and additional
weight is nffordca by the letter to General
Foster's frequently repeated affirmation that
there never has been any dlftlcully between
him nnd Mr. Blalno in relation to those nego
tiations.
Depew Likely to Succeed lilnlno.
So for as is known publicly in this city
nothing has b'con definitely settled yet in
regard to the .matter ot Mr. Dopow and tha
secretaryship of state. It is positively
asserted on good authority that a
member of the cabinet sala today
that ho expected the nomination of Mr.
Dopcw to bo sent to the senate next Wednes
day. This would certainly imply that Mi1.
Dcpcw has already accepted the offer said to
hnvo been made to him lust Saturday by tbo
president. On the other hand sovur.il lead
ing republicans , supposca to nave intimate
knowledge of what is going on at the white
house , have expressed the opinion today ( hut
Mr. Depow is not likely to bo the next secre
tary of state :
Colonel Shepard is ono of these who enter
tain this view of the matter. Amid these
conflicting reports the Washington public
has become decidedly mstilled and is dis
posed 10 await official action with patience.
Among the cosslp Moating around today was
ono to the affect that a dispatch hud been
received from Minister Lincoln tit London
airected to Mr. Uopow at the Deportment of
State. It is also reported in some Quarters
hero today that the Yandorbilts have given
Mr. Dapow to undcrstana that they would
feel highly honored by his selection for so
Important an office as the secretaryship of
cluto and ho would accept the sumo wituout
prejudice to hit ) resumption of bis duties in
connection with their interests at some sub
sequent time.
Miscellaneous.
A loiter has been received by Senator
Mundcrson from the commissioner of Indian
affairs stating that the work being done by
Mr. A. B. Holmes and wife , , superintendent
and matron respectively of the Colorado
Indian aeonoy , bus been entirely satisfactory
to the department and that they would bo
retained In their position.
Senator Manderson today introduced nn
amendment to the sundry civil bill
appropriating $400,000 to bo expended
during the next fiscal year on the
Omaha publlo building. This amount ,
together with tuo $ JJIAKJ now on
hand will , it Is thought , bo sufficient to en
able the work of actually constructing the
building to bo pushed forwad rupldlv. The
slto has been paid for and $117,000 has boon
expended upon the excavation and the foun
dation.
Senator Mandorson proposes at the proper
tlmo to introduce a measure appropriating
$01,000 , for the military storehouse at Omaha.
An amendment to the sundry civil appro
priation was today introduced by Senator
Paddock , appropriating $15,000 for the intro
duction of reindeer Into Alaska.
A bill was today introduced by Senator
Mundcrson amending tbo not of 1833 , au
thorizing the construction of a bridge across

President ItiirrMou Him Wiiy to Solve the
Cunuilmit Dispute.
WASUISOTOX , D. C. , Juno 20. In the state
paper sent to the senate today in answer tea
a resolution of February 24 , last , calling for
Information relative to reciprocity negotia
tions with Canada , the president sounds the
death knoll of that project and plants n mile
post in American history by deliberately ,
In effect , recommending that congress pro
ceed to retaliate upon tbo dominion for
Its , persistent denial of the rights of
American citizens ( guaranteed by tha treaty
ot Washington ) in connection with the
navigation of Canadian canals , The presi
dent in his communication says that his
answer to the resolution vns delayed , nt the
suggestion os the secretory of state , until the
conference of the 'M inst. had Ulton place
between the secretary and1 the British min
ister nnd Hon. MciConzlo Howell nnd Hon.
George 13. Foster. lion. John \V. Foster
also appeared on behalf of the government of
the United Slates at the request of the secretary -
rotary of stato.
Cunmlii Would Hnvo Itonelltoil.
The president says : "The result of the
conference ns to the practicability of ar
ranging a reciprocity treaty with the Domin
ion of Canada is clearly stated in the letter
of Mr. Blalno and was anticipated , I think ,
by him nnd every ether thouchlful American
who had considered the subject. A reciprocity
treaty , limited to the exchange of natural
productswould hnvo been such only in form.
The benefits of such a treaty would hnvo in
ured almost wholly to Canada. Previous
experiments on this line had been
unsatisfactory to this government. A
treaty that should bo rjclprncal in fact und
of mutual advantage ) must nccoisnrlly have
embraced an important list of manufactured
articles , and have secured to the United
States a free or favored Introduction of
thcso articles In to Canada as against the
world ; but It wns not believed that the
Canadian ministry was ready to propose or
assent to such nn arrangement. The con
clusion of the Canadian commissioners Is
stated in the report of Mr. Blainuns follows :
'In the second place it seemsd to ba impos
sible lor the Canadian government , in
view of its present , political relations
and obligations , 10 extend to American goods
a preferential treatment over these of ether
countries. As Canada was a part of the
British empire , they did not , consider It
competent fur the Dominion government to
entcr'into any commercial arrangement with
the Unllod States from the bonotlts of
which Great Britain and its colonies should
bo excluded.
An liiauprrulilo Htirrlcr.
"It Is not for this government to argue
against this announcement of Canadian oil- !
clnls' opinion. It must bo accepted , however ,
1 think , ns the statement ot a condition
which places an Insuperable barrier in the
'
way of attainment of' that largo ami heno-
liclal Intercourse ana reciprocal trndo which
might otherwise bo developed between the
United States and the Dominion.
"It will bo noticed that Mr. Blalno reports
as ouo of the results of the conference : -An
Informal engagement to repeal and abandon
the drawback of 18 cents a ton given on
wlumt ( grain ) that is carried through to
Montreal , and shipped therefrom to Europe ,
by the American railways running from
Ogdunsburi ; and Oswego ana oilier Ameri
can ports , the shippers paying the full 20
cents u ton , while In effect , shippers by way
of Montreal pay only U cents. It was under
stood that thu Canadian commissioners , who
wcro till three members of the cabinet , would
see to the withdrawn ! of this discrimination. '
luimilliin iflscrl munition.
"From the ropoit of the recent conforsnce
by Mr. Foster it will DO seen that the Cnna-
dlan commissioners declare that this state
ment aoos not conform to their understand
ing , and that tbo only assurance they had In
tended to give wns that the complaint of the
government of the United States should betaken
taken Into consideration by the Canadian
ministry on their return to Oltaxva. Mr.
Foster , who was present at the first confer
ence , confirms the statement of Mr.
Bialnc. While this misunderstanding is un
fortunate the moro serious phase of the
situation is thai Instead of rescinding the
discriminating canal tolls , of vhlch this
country complains , the Canadian ministry ,
after the return of the cominissioncrs from
their visit to Washington on April , re-
Is.iuod without any communication to this
government the order continuing tbo dis
crimination by which a rebate of IS cents a
ton Is allowed uncm grain going to Montreal ,
but not to American ports , nnd refusing this
rebate oven to grain going to Montreal if
trans-shipped at an American port.
I'rovUlou of tlio Treaty.
"The report of Mr. Partridge , the solicitor
of the Department of State , which accom
panies the letter of the secretary of state ,
states thcso discriminations very clearly.
That these aiders as to tolls and robnto are
in direct violation of article 27 of tha treaty
of 1S71 seems to ba clear , It Is wholly
evasive to say that there is no dlscnmlnu-
lion between Canadian nnd American
vessels ; that the rebate In ultowod to both
without favor upon grain carried through to
Montreal or truns-shlpnod at a Canadian
port to Montreal , Tlio treaty runs : To
secure to the cltlzans of the United States
tlio use of the Wollund , St , Lawrence und
other canals in tbo Dominion on terms of
equality with the inhabitants of the
Dominion ,
"It was intended to give to consumers in
the United States , to our people ongagc-d in
railroad transportation , and to these export
ing irorn our ports equal terms in passing
their merchandise through those canals.
This absolute equality of treatment was the
consideration for concessions on thop.irtof
this guvornmeiu , made in the sumo urtlclo of
tlio treaty und which have been watchtully
kept. It is a matter of regret thut the
Canadian government has not responded
promptly to our request tor the removal of
these discriminating toll * . Thu papers sub-
milted show how serious tlio loss Indicted la
upon our laku vessels and upoii some of our
luke ports.
JtevommemlutloiiK or tlio { 'resident.
"Ill vlow of the fact that the Canadian com
missioners still contest with ustho claim
that thoio tolls uro dlscilmlnatlng , and insist
that they constitute no violation of the letterer
or spirit of article 27 of the troulv.lt would
seem appropriate that congress , If the vlow
held by the oxccutivo is approved , should
with deliberation , und yet with promptness ,
tnkosuch stops us maybe necessary tosocuru
the Just rluhts of our citizens. In view of
the delays which have already taken
place in transmitting this correspondence to
congress , I nuyo not felt Justified in await-
Ini ; thufuribor communication frojn the gov
ernment of Canada which was nuggextod In
tha recent conference. Should any propo
sition relating to this matter bo received It
will bo Immediately submitted for the con
sideration of the senate and If forwarded
within the time suggcitod , will undoubtedly
anticipate any Dual action by congress , "

an overwhelming sense of the responsibility

so much to'my country und to my follow citi

found when the record of a quiet life bad
been brpughl under the strong light of publlo
criticism to enthuse my party followers
or upon which tin assurance of adequacy fov
the highest civil ofllco might bo rested. No
one , so much as I , realized that the strength
of the campaign must bo found In republican ,
principles , and my liopu was that nothing la
my lifo or word of iiiino might weaken the
npnr.-al of our American politics to the Ameri
can heart ; and that appeal did not fail a
republican president und vice president , and
a republican congress wore ouoson. The
record has been mudonnd wo are now to sub
