Uhl were, ss anticipated, elected the delegates at large to the National Convention at the State Demo cratic Convention, which terminated itspro ceedings here this evening. In the plat form which was adopted, the delegates wero instructed to vote for Cleveland. Tarill re form was pronounced the overshadowing issue of the coming campaign, and a demand was made ot the Government to give a clear waterway from the great lakes to the ocean. There were a couple of little storms which, though of a threatening nature, ended without serious results. The first arose over a desire on the part of a section to select "Wellington K. Burt for the honor which was conferred upon Spencer O. Fisher, and the second over an attempt to introduce a free silver resolution into the report of the Platform Committee. The convention, however, ended in harmony. The fight was raised over the nomination of Spencer O. Fisher bv John C Weadock, and his indorsement by Chauncey isner. Tast One Little Breeze. Judge John Moore presented the name of "Wellington B. Burt. Judge Moore dis plaved some little heai in his speech. Sev eral speakers joined in the struggle, and when the Chairman, in order to end the dis cussion, was about to take a ballot, he was met by persistent and deafening cries of '"Gag rule." For some minutes personal charges were bandied about from every quarter. At length the scene ended. A vote was taken and Fisher was elected by a vote ot 752 to 209. Don M. Dickinson was unanimously se lected as the first delegate irom the First district. Edward Byan, like Dickinson, was chosen by unanimous vote. Hon. Ed ward F. TJhl was also chosen unanimously. The platform denounces "the monopolis tic measures of the Bepublican party;" de clares boldly for tariH reform; condemns the McKinley law; "point3 with pride" to the Democratic State administration; calls for a tidewater canal, and adds: Solid Instructions for Cleveland. We arraign the Bepublican party for the jobbery and extravagance or the billion dollar Congress, and wo deplore tho scan dals and corruption in tlio present adminis tration, in marked contrast with the clean and capable administration of G rover Cleve land. "VVe believe that the siege begun lour years ago must be continued on the same stronghold of the enemy, fortified by the spoils of an oppressive tariff, and upon the same lines of battle, until victory hhall crown our asults. We think it neither wise nor safe to change materially the plan under which that campaign was fought. Wo are confi dent wo were right then, and the right is always the same. We have full faith in the mind that conceived and the hands that executed'thjc dotnils of that contest. Wo believe mow imnlicitlv in the wisdom and the honesty and heroic courage of him who Jed us in that assault una now, rclreshed, revived, united and fearless in our faith, we demand to be led against tlio enemy again under the leadershiD ot the same great captain. We theieforo instruct ourdelegates to the National Convention, this da v chosen. to vote in that convention as one'man for the nomination of Grover Cleveland to the Presidency of tho United States. The State Central Committee was in structed to incorporate as one of the pur poses of the coming State Convention the nomination of a candidate lor United States Senator. D. J. Campau to-night sent the following telegram to Grover Cleveland: Grover Cleveland. New York: The largest Democratic State Convention in oar State's history to-day elected a unanimous Cleveland delegation to Chicago, and instructed it to vote for you as a unit. In this action the delegates will express the exact sentiment or the Michigan Democracy, w Men is for Cleveland and victory. Daniel J. CAirrAtr, Chairman Democratic State Committee. CAIIFOEHIA UNINSTBTJCTED, Though Harrison's Administration Gets a First-Class Send-Off. Stockton. Cal., May 4. The Bepubli can State Convention reassembled at 11 o'clock this morning. The platform adopted declared that the administration of national aflairs by a Bepublican President has earned an unqualified indorsement; it applauds the nominations of President Harrison, and says these and other achieve ments, stamp the administration of Presi dent Harrison as wise, and endear him to the hearts of all true Americans and give pride to them all. The platform reaffirms the national platform of 1888 upon the doctrine ot protection to American indus try. Free and unlimited silver coinage is demanded, and Blaine's master hand is rec ognized in the administration of foreign affairs. The indorsement of the administration of President Harrison, the section demanding more stringent naturalization and immigra tion laws and especially the closing reler ence to Blaine called forth the greatest en thusiasm. De Young, Spence, Bideout and Felton were elected delegates at large to Minneapolis. They are uninstructed. HAWLET EULOGIZES HAESISON. lie Says the President Is Able to Fill Any Cabinet Position.

WISCONSIN FOR CLEVELAND. The Delegates Instructed (or Him and Mast Tote as a "Unit The VUaj Programme Goes Thronth "Without a Break Gen eral Brace Ha a Sensation. Milwaukee, "Wis., May 4. When the Democratic State Convention met here at noon to-day, the name of Cleveland was in every month. The district conventions were held during the morning, and only Cleveland men were put on guard, to vote as a unit tor mm ana souna money at kiui cago. State Senator Bobert Lees, Tempo rary Chairman, made an eloquent address, dwelling at length on the principles of par ties founded by Jefferson and Hamilton. He concluded with a burst of eloquence for Cleveland. The apparently talismanio name that concluded the Chairman's speech was the signal for such a renewal of shout ing and stamping that the painted forest scenery on the stage swayed and flapped as if a tornado was coming. Mr. Vilas was Chairman of the Besolutions Committee. The platform denounces the McKinley law; demands sound, honest and stable money; denounces the Sherman act and commends the silver coinage viewg of "Wisconsin's Democratic Congressmen: directs the dele gates to Chicago to vote as a unit, and con cludes as follows: We approve the record of tho last Demo cratic national administration. "We admire tho President whose ability, honesty and devotion to publie duty enthroned the ad ministration in tho confidence of all good citizens. We therefore desire our delegates at tho National Convention to use all honor able means to nominato for President the man who is in himself the embodiment and the guarantee of sound Democratic princi ples Grover Cleveland. "Which plank received tho most applause would be hard to say, but the declarations as to tariff, money, and the compulsory school law were behind none of the others in the big waves of cheering evoked. At the mention of the unit rule there was a chorus of "Ahs" and "That's the stuffi" The delegates at large selected are Colonel Vilas, Generals Bragg, "Wall and Knight. A picturesque wind-up was given the con vention by an address from fiery little Gen eral Bragg, white-haired as he can be, but impetuous as ever. Beferring to the com ing National Convention at Chicago, and the situation there, General Bragg said: Tho people love Cleveland because thoy know they enn trnst him. What ho says, that will lie do, with iron will and strictest integrity, no matter who knocks at the door. Mr. Cleveland's fiiends may meet at Chicago with strong and serious opposition from certain quarters, bat I am one of those who believe the Democratic party and prin ciples are greater than the wishes of any State or any section of tho Union. I have lived so long on tho broad prairies of tho West that I have learned to forgot the old Now York snn rose in Sandy Hook and set in Lake Erie. We will not ask for Cleveland, of Now York, bnt will demand tho nomina tion of Grover Cleveland, of tho United States. If Now York does not appreciate the honor, bo much the worse for New York. BLAISE GETS THE CHEERS. The Lion's Share of Applause in Illinois Is Not for the President. Spbingfield, III., May 4. The larg est Bepublican Convention in the history of the State of Illinois assembled in this city this afternoon. The renomination of Joseph "W. Fifer still appears to be practi cally assured, so that the work of the con vention will be but little more than a mere ratification by the votes of the delegates. Chairman A. N. Jones addressed the con vention this afternoon and his speech was loudly applauded, particularly when he al luded to Governor Fifer, President Harri son and Secretary Blaine. When he eulo gized the administration of Harrison and Blaine, the friends ot those two leaders manifested the wildest enthusiasm Blaine came in for the lion's share of the ovation, and hats, coats and umbrellas were thrown into the air as the delegates yelled repeat edly: "What's the matter with Blaine?" When the Chairman predicted that the candidate nominated at Minneapolis would be elected, there were loud cheers of "and his -name is Blaine, Blaine, Blaine." "It is so written in the book of fate," said the Chairman, continuing his speech, but the delegates interpreted this as mean ing an indorsement of their suggestion of Blaine's nomination, and again the pop ular leader was loudly cheered. Temporary officers were elected, and the convention adjourned till to-morrow morning. At 11 o'clock to-night, Comreittee on Beso lutions, which had been in session several hours, decided by a vote of 18 to 2 to add a resolution to the platform indorsing in warmest terms the administration of Presi dent Harrison, and instructing the State delegation to vote as a unit tor his renomi nation at the National Convention.

A QUESTION OF BELIGIOUS OBDEBS The Occasion of a Parliamentary Tilt Among the Episcopalians, Philadelphia, May 4. At the second day's session of the one hundred and eighth meeting of the Diocesan Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of Pennsyl vania, reports from various convocations showed them to be in a flourishing condi tion.

President Roberts, of the Pennsy, on Bis Company's Position" IN EEFEBENCE TO COAL BATES. Cordage Trust Official Explains Corporation's Methods. His FIEES, FAILURES AND EAILWAI NEWS Philadelphia, May 4. The following interview with President Boberts, of the Pennsylvania Bailroad Company, will be published to-morrow: Question In your recent Interview you expressed very freely your Judgment as to the course through rates over the trunk lines and Western linos would likely take. So far, your Judgment in respeot to theso rates seems to have been justified by the events. It is admitted now, I believe, that there is a general disturbance of through rates all over tho country, and that their general course is downward. In that inter view, however, yon did not give any posi tive expression to your views on coal rates, and the publio would be glad to know if there is any reason why you should not ex press your opinion on the subject also. Mr. Roberts I see no reason why I should not, as my viewa have been well known for several years past. I have never bon able to close my eyes to the fact that, sooner or later, the disparity between bituminous and anthracite rates would cause trouble to the anthracite carriers, who are also carriers of bitiminous coal, and that sooner or later an equalization of the rates on both classes of coal will bo forcednpon them. The rates re ceived for carrying bituminous coal are not over two-thirds of the rates per ton per mile. In anthracite coal, yet, the rates are con sidered fairly remmnnerative. The conclu sion reached by the Inter-State Commerce Commission in the case or Coxa Brothers, against the Lehigh Valley, also seemed to indicate that tho two rates must be brought closer together. Question But, Mr. Roberts, as I under stand, the question now presented is not as to the maintenance of thoso ratos, whioh the Inter-State Commerce Commission dccl&ied to be too high; but it is proposed to advance the price of anthraoito coal, which would, of course, involve an Increase of the rates for carrying it. Will you givo tho publio the benefit of your ODlnion on that subject? Mr. Roberts It has always been the poller of onr company, so far as possible, to man age Its traffic in harmony with its com petitors, and our recent action simply made our rates conform, as neailyas possible, to those which were then being charged by other lines. It was made necessary by the new system established by our competitors of making the rato bear a certain relative proportion to the selling price of the coal, and resulted in a reduction of the nominal ratos which have been prevailing; and it seemed to mo to tend toward a proportion ate reduction in the cost of the coal to the consumer. But if this Is to be followed by an advance in the price of coal torced by a curtailment of the production, I fear it would be impracticable for our company to continue the policy It has always hereto fore adopted, as we havo never at any time been in harmony with the policy or restrict- lng production for the purpose of advancing the price of a commodity. Tho interests of our company are those of a transporter,' whose object 1b to stimulate tho pi-oduction of articles, rather than restrict them. 'IWIXT SATAH AND THE SEA, A fVrdage Official Explains a Dilemma Which May Lead to a Salt. New Tore, May 4. With reference to a civil suit that it was reported this morning the United States Government will bring against the National Cordage Company, an officer of the trust said to-day: "We have no information of any such suit, except what is stated in the newspapers, and we do not believe any such suit is to bo brought. Tho story about John Good hav ing been compelled, through his relations with this company at tho time, to lefuse to make some cordage machinery for the Minnesota State orison, was simply this: "This company, as well as all other cor dage companies, was informed by labor or ganizations that if any machinery, etc., was made for the use of convicts in competition with honest labor, their employes would strike. Wo told Mr. Good that he could mako the machinery for the Minnesota State Prison ahead of any order of ours, provided he would give us a bond to In demnity against loss through any consequent trouble with our employes and tnelr labor organizations. We wore, in fact, as yon say, 'between the devil and the deep sea. There are several other cordage companies, and theyaro absolutely independent and have not the slightest connection, diicctly or in directly, with this company. They can sell thoir products at any price they please." MAINE'S GREAT OBANITE SIEIKE. Quarry men Ask 10 Per Cent and Cutters IS Per Cent Advance in Wages. Basoor, Me., May 4. Speeia. The May Day stiike of the granite cutters has caused an almost complete suspension of operations in the great quarries along the coast of Maine. At Hurricane Island and Vlnal Haven, the principal centers o J the indus try, about 1,500 men have stopped work.

At Vinal Haven five firms have beon ruu niug crews aggregating about 1,100 men, who have quit. The employers are willing to extend the existing bill of prices to January L 1893, but the men want a Mav list to lun lor one year, with nn advance of 10 per cent for quarry men and of 15 per cent for cutters. The ac tion of the employers is generally regarded as unjust, as business prospects fully war rant the small advance asked by the men. BUSINESS BREVITIES.

Thomas Tarry and His "Wife Know No Peace After Their License "Was Taken Away An Entertaining Hearing Used a Stove to Enforce Discipline. Thomas Parry, a robust, smooth-faced Englishman who keeps a boarding house at No. 2852 Penn avenue, was yesterday held by 'Squire Gripp in S500 for court o answer the charge of wife beating. Immedi ately alter entering bail Mr. Parry was notified that his wife had filed a petition for a divorce and she was notified to appear on Saturday to make an answer. The case of wife beating made against Parry developed some decidedly sensational features. Mrs. Parry was married about ten years ago. Her married life was, she said, as calm and pleasant as a dream until after the Brooks high license law with one fell swoop knocked out innumerable licensed saloons in Pittsburg and elsewhere. Then her former kind and considerate husband seemed to lose his temper and become of fensive in his treatment of her. About the same time he also become jealous of her. He insisted, she said, on knowing every step she took. One night last winter when she returned home about midnight she said her husband drove her out into the streets. "What did he say to you when you come home after midnight?" Judge Gripp asked. "He insisted on knowing where I had been. I told him that was my business, and then after I had gotten undressed to go to bed he chased me out into the street." "Hold on, Judge," shouted Parry, who had been sitting back in the crowded room. "I want that evidence to be correct. When she came home after midnight I asked her where she had been, and she said I was an old bald-headed parrot and that it was none of my business. Then I told her she had best go out and make a good night of it and come home in a decent hour in the morn ing. That's the truth," he concluded ab ruptly. "No, it's not the truth. Judge," Mrs. Parry interrupted. "I didn't say anything about his being bald-headed. He just drove me out of the house because I would not tell him where I had been. Then," Bhe went on, nxing ner eyes on her husband, "when I came home the next morning he grabbed me and eat me on the cooking stove." "And were you burned?" Judge Gripp asked anxiously. "Of course I was burned," the wife re plied. "I was not seriously burned, only because he was getting breakfast and there were a lot of pots and skillets on the store. That sa:e day he tried to stick my head in the stove and a night or two after he threw a kettle of hot water at me, and he also threw a chair at me. He kicked me in the face a few days after that, and here" she went on pointing to an ugly scar on her chin, "is where his boot heel struck roe." "That will do, madam," Judge Gripp said, waving the woman to her seat. Parry was then called, and denied em phatically all the charges made against him. He admitted, however, that he had pushed his wife against the stove, and also cor roborated the evidence that he had been in bad temper ever since the passage of the Brooks high license law. In nis be half several witnesses were called to prove that his wife stayed out late at night, and one of them disgusted the Judge by testify ing that be was in the room when it was alleged that Parry threw a chair at his wife, but he refused to swear that Parry threw the chair. ''There was just the three of us in the room," the witness explained. "I saw the chair flying from where Parry stood and saw it fall and break into splinters near where Mrs. Parry stood. But, Your Honor, I don't know who threw it I didn't throw it, and Mrs. Parry didn't throw it, but I don't know who threw it" "I guess you don't know anything," the Judge suggested. He then fixed the amount of Parry's bail and dismissed the L crowd. The bail was given. Plttsburgers in New York. New York, Mav 4. Special.
