ITILTS OVER EEPEISENTATION InliTen the Proceedings of Two Eessions lr ef the Convention. FAST WORE OP ST. JOHN'S FOLLOWERS Cincinnati, O., June 2a The Prohibi tion party put in a hard day's work, ending late to-night, the National Convention beginning at 10 A. M. and holding three 'cessions, morning, afternoon and evening. As a result a permanent organization has been effected with Colonel 11 Bitter, of Indiana, as presiding officer, and Sam Small, the Georgia evangelist, as Secretary, and to-morrow the convention will be ready to pass upon the platform and nominate candidates for President and Vice Presi dent. Probably the most unusual and striking scene of the convention was the opening of the second session with praver by a Catho lic priest, Bev. Pather Martin Mahoney, of St. Paul, Minn. "When the delegates and spectators had partly recovered from the surprise caused by the announcement of his presence and name in such a connection, a great hush fell upon the assemblage. The dark crarb and pale, ascetic features riveted I attention instantly, as with upturned eyes he solemnly invoked the blessing of Al mighty God upon the convention and the Prohibition party, and asked that the truth and the light might shine upon all the peo ple. 'With one accord delegates and spec tators were upon their feet, and with bowed beads, amid strange deep silence, joined in ' the priest's petition. Prayer toy a Catholic Clergyman. It was, with one exception, the only in stance on record in which a Roman Catholic clergyman has officiated at a National polit ical convention in the United States. Pather Mahoney, who is one of Archbishop Ire land's assistants is, it appears, a regularly elected delegate to the convention from Minnesota and has been an active prohibi tionist for 14 years. He delivered the prayer at the earnest solicitation of Chair man Dickie, of the National Prohibition Committee and ex Governor John St John, ot Kansas, the temporary chairman of the convention. The numerous sessions gave the Presi dental boomers little time for wire pulling and there was an absence of the numerous caucuses which distinguish the older parties. At the outset ex-Governor St John gave the convention a whole platform in his speech, assuming the temporary chairmanship and from that time on the proceedings were kept moving c6nstantly. Whenever the neces sities of the occassion gave the delegates a few spare minutes, the time was taken up in the introduction of musical specialties by scAne of the amusement makers of the party. The impromptu efforts usually took the form of topical hits at those who talk pro hibition and vote the other way and they met with enthusiastic receptions. BIdwell in the Xad for President. It is hardly possible to canvass a Prohi bition convention accurately, but in a gen- eral way Bidwell, of California, seems to have a material lead of the other candi dates for the Presidental nomination, while Demorest, of New York, is hardly as promi nent as yesterday. Bidwell has also lost strength during the day, owing (o the bring ing out of Judge McCullougn, of Illinois, as a compromise candidate, but Bidwell's friends still claim his election on the first ballot There is a " disposition to compli ment a number of Prohibitionists with votes for President, and these complimentary votes may perhaps become so numerous as to prevent any nomination on the first roll call. Jndge McCullough has gained a great deal ot ground during the day. The action of the convention in refuring to permit States to cast votes for delegatesnot present cut into Demorest's Southern following quite seriously, The Platform Committee is at work and has a big task before it That the proceed ings before the Platform Committee were sent to a formulating Sub-oommittee of five shows that there is a decided feeling in favor of the Prohibitionists taking strong and advanced grounds on various public questions other than Prohibition, and a broad, radical platform is quite likely and a hot fight over it may occur on the floor of the convention. Ths Delegates are Welcomed. Chairman Dickie, of the National Com mittee, then called the convention to order, and introduced Dr. J. G. Evans, of Hed ding College, I1L, who formally opened the convention with prayer. Bev. Dr. Xiockwood, of Cincinnati, In behalf of the city and the State of Ohio, then welcomed the delegates In a speech that was appreciated and heartily ap plauded. In the course of his address he said: I welcome you on behalf of the most thoughtful, unselfish and best manhood among me laDor leaders or our city. They are fast learning that Industrial conditions . cannot be Improved apart from the Improve Tnent of moral conditions. "The soul of im provement ts In the Improvement of the soul." A better manhood is the first neces sity of organized labor; a better manhood Is not possible in an environment of drunk enness and Its concomitant; the labor and liquor problems cannot be separated. 'J. he Republican party has naturally and logic ally become a party in sympathy and in alliance with the labor leaders the word - sympathy I could not use alone, Its meaning has been degraded In political uses. There is nothing right asked by labor whioli can be divorced from the right we represent, and the Ohio plattorm bar blazed the path where this convention must begin to build a high way to the throne of power. And with this confidence I welcome yon on behalf of the party In the State of Ohio a State with more politics in it to the square inch than any State In the Union and If it is found that this convention has more politics in it than any you have ever held von mnv consider it Is cue to the environment. . .a .. . . Prot Dickie responded to the address of welcome. He said the Prohibitionists knew precisely what they were here for and exactly where they were going, and there was no danger that any obstacle would divert them lrom their relentless purpose. "We are here," he added, "to put candi dates in nomination and to keep' them in the field until the polls are closed next No Tember. Ex-Governor St. John Talks. He closed, by naming ex-Governor St. John, of Kansas, as Temporary Chairman. "Wild cheering and the waving of flags and handkerchiefs greeted the mention of the same of ex-Governor St. John. The shout ing was renewed again and again as the noted Kansas stepped forward and assumed the gaveL Ex-Governor St John said: llembera of the Convention: I return my sincere thanks and shall ever be grateful for the distinguished honor of being chosen to preside as Temporary Chair man of thU magnificent political convention! tbe greatest and grandest.

We claim that any system whloh imposes a high tariff on the food, fuel and clothing of the poor, and lets the diamonds of the rich come in free, Is legalized robbery tinder the guise of "protection," and ought to be for ever abolished; that all money should be Issued by the general Government, and every dollar, whether gold, silver or paper, should stand upon an equality before the law for all purposes, and that the coinage of both metals should be free; that railway and telegraph lines should be under the control of the Government, to be operated at cost, in the interest of the people) that the Presi dent, Vice President and United States Sen ators should be elected by a direct vote of the people, and that the term for President should be extended to six years, with no second successive term for any man. The First Fight of the Day. ' The first figh In the convention occurred on the question of adopting the temporary rules bv the National Committee. These provided that only delegates present should be entitled to vote. This would have de- firlved a number of far-off States, especial v those of the extreme South, of a part of their representation In the temporary or ganization, as all their delegates could not come on account of expense. After a lively tilt, a rising vote and then the rules, with -an amendment allowing the full ballot to be cast, were adopted. On motion of Mr. Cleghorn, of Wisconsin, the roll of States was called and each delega tion announced the members it had selected for representation on the committees.

A number ol the war horses of the party were present, and John-fiussell, ot Miohigan, the Presidental candidate in ltstsu; Dr. JtsrooKs, Miss "Willard; Mr. Thompson, who was on the ticket with Neal Dow and "Mother" Stewart, of Springfield, Ohio, were in troduced. The Committee on Credentials reported that 972 delegates were present, Louisiana and South Carolina being the only States not represented. The presentation of the report of the Committee on Permanent Organization recommending Colonel Eli Bitter for Per manent Chairman and Sam Small for Per manent Secretary and reinstating the rule voted down in the morning, giving States votes only for delegates present, was the signal for a fight. The Bev. Sam Small presented a minority report, signed by IS States, recommending that each State delegation be permitted to cast the full vote to which it is entitled. He made a vigorous speech in favor of the mi nority report and protested against depriv ing these States of their full vote as a mon umental injustice. The majority report blotted out States and made the Prohibi tion .National Convention simply mass meetings of men with money enough to get here. The Prohibition party was against monopolies. David Morgan, of Minnesota, was as tounded at Mr. Small's speech. He. had seen only a corpoial'a guard at Prohibition conventions under the old rule. "When one man could vote for a whole State only a corporal's guard ever came to Prohibition conventions. The question was discussed pro and con for nearly an hour by about a dozen dele gates, and finally the debate was cloised by Chafin, of "Wisconsin, moving the'previous question, but even this did not quiet the delegates, and the hall was full of the noise of interjections and points of order. A roll call by States on the- adoption of the minority report resulted in the defeat of the minority report by a vote of 859 to 721, and then the majority report was adopted. Absent delegates will have no vote. The convention then adjourned to 8 p. M. Bitter Addresses the JSvenlnc Session. Singing and prayer by the Bev. David Tatum, a Quaker preacher of Chicago, opened the evening session! Colonel Eli Bitter, of Indiana, who was selected for Permanent Chairman, was escorted to the platform to succeed Governor St. John as presiding officer. In his address, Colonel Bitter said that no political party in the history of the nation had ever accomplished so much or ever advanced an educational matter to the extent the Prohibition party had done in the four years just passed and that in the face of the constant statement by the old parties that the Prohibition party was dead or dying. He attacked the Republican and Democratic parties for their attitnde to the liquor traffic. He then abruptly asked: "What would be the consequences if we were to quit the field?" His voice was lor war until the liquor traffic was killed; then let us have peace. The old parties were keeping up a lend SO years old and he wanted to shake bands with the South. The loudest applause of the evening greeted this announcement. the delegates rising in a mass. He made this reference to Harrison: "There is a President from Indiana and 'he has been renominated. They say it will be a hot campaign. I promise it shall be the hottest campaign ever seen and give notice we will be in it" There was nothing remaining before the convention, and Mrs. Gougar addressed the assemblage. A telegram from the Denver, CoL, Pro hibition League'asking for a plank uncon ditionally favoring a free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver was read, and then the convention adjourned until 9;30 to morrow morning. CHOKED THE POLICEMAN, A Colored Officer Badly Used Up by Three ' Street Car Conductors. E. J. Harris, a colored police officer, was choked and thrown off a car on the Citizens' Traction line yesterday by the conductor of car No. 230 and the conductors of two other cars. Harris bad been sent on an errand from the Twellth ward police station to Magistrate McKehna's office and was re turning to tbe station about 1 o'clock on car 23 He was in uniform at the time and standing on the platform. The conductor asked nim for his fare and Har ris said tbe city police, when In uniform were not required to pay lare. The conductor told him he would put him off unless he paid, and Har ris paid. He was then told to go inside the car, but as he bad but a short distacce further to go he demurred. Tbe conductor stopped the car and threatened to put him off, and Har ris asked for the return of his fare and he would get off. The oonductor refused it, but held his car until two others came Up behind him, when he called the conductors and the three made It lively for the police man. Chief Brown will Inquire into .the matter fo-dav. Ways and Means Congressmen Confer. "Washington, June 2a The Demo cratic members of the Ways and Means Committee bad a conference to talk over the status of business in the Honse, but they are very reticent as to their plans. BISMARCK H FOR IT. How the Ex-Chancellor Forced the Kaiser Through the Press to TAKE UP THE GAUGE OP BATTLE. The Government's Mistakes in Dealing With Russia ire Shown Up. OPINI0N8-OF PB PRESS OF BERLIN Berlin, June 29. The language of Prince Bismarck, which has apparently waked the Government up to a determina tion 'to prosecute himappears in an inter view published in the Wat Deutteu AUge meine Ztttung, the Prince's new organ in Cologne. The passages in this interview that are especially offensive to Emperor William charge him, after the failure of bis visit to the Czar at Narva, with assenting to Chancellor Von Caprivi'a greatest error, a precipitate breaking of every link that bound Germany and Russia. According to Prince Bismarck, the Em peror thought Ms personal amiability would win the Russians. Intermediaries, possibly appointed for the purpose, bronght to the ears of the Emperor, even before he left St Petersburg, remarks that had been made by members of the Czar's circle which left no doubt of the political failure of his visit. Under these circumstances the Emperor's immediate journey to England, followed by the East African treaties, assumed the aspect of a demonstration against Russia. These incidents were succeeded by a policy of friendliness toward the Poles, which was still more galling to the Czar. The Emperor's Mistakes In Poland. No graver change in German policy could have been adopted. It showed to Bussia on the political horizon a Polish legion in the event of war, with, in the event of Russian defeat, a new kingdom of Poland. This naturally resulted in the visit of the French fleet to Cronstadt The appointment of a Polish Bishop at Posen Was also a mistake in the international and external polloy. In the course of the interview Prince Bismarck said further: When I read General Von Caprlvl's first speech as Chancellor, I saw that I had been entirely deceived In my estimate of him a thing that seldom happened to me. I always lilted mm until tnen.t x tnougnt mm firm l generallv reticent. I never recommended General von Caprivltothe position of Chancellor. 1 bad onoe spoken to the Emperor about htm as suitable- for tbe position of Prussian Prime Minister at some future period. This was long before the Em peror demanded point blank that I ask to be reuevea irom omoe, wnicn a reiusea to uo, offering; a passive resistance to the demand. The Emperor had been In secret negotia tions with General Von Caprlvi, meanwhile keeping me away from Berlin under tbe pre text of sparing; ray health, but really In order to keep me from actual contact with the political situation. Bow the Newspapers View It. The Votsiche Zeitunp, commenting upon the article in tbe official North German Gazette upon the attitude of Prince Bismarok, and the threat contained therein to publish cer tain documents to show that Prince Bis marck once strongly supported projects he now condemns, says the article shows it is possible for all truth to be laid aside, and that tbe crushing of Prince Bismarok will be undertaken. The Voulcht Ztttung also says: A single false step on the part of the Gov ernment in the contest now openly em barked upon may lead to a traaedy. No matter what tbe opinion about Bismarok may be, it will not be a Bismarck trattedy. We merely hope the Government will not execute Its threat to take aotlon against the creator of German unity. The TageUatt says: The die is cast. Prince Bismarck has at tained the objeot for which he has striven during the last two years, and has forced the Government to take np the gauntlet he has so oiien tarown bs in rest, out to attain this Prlnoe Bismarok has been obliged to abandon the role ot an anonymous lonrnal 1st. Be has personally taken his place in the breach, with the full wehrht or his hls torio name he exposes Chancellor von Ca 'privi to the eyes of foreign nations, and dis credits him by means of leckless dialeotlo. All patriots will regard the procedure with aching hearts, but at the same time they will admit that the Goverment aots in self defense when it resolves to no longer expose Itself to the poisoned arrows of Its adver sary. Chancellor von Caprlvl's question, whether Prince Bismarck's conduct Is patri otic will be answered by a majority of the nation with a sorrowful butdeolded nega tive. Out-and-out Bismarckians may take the part of the Prince against tbe Govern ment, but it Is impossible to believe that the pronnnclamento of the civilian WAUenstein will be crowned with success. Bismarok finds Vat One Defender. The North German Gazette's article contin ues to be the all absorbing topio of the press. Newspapers of all shades,excepting Conservative journals and Bismarck's own organs, discuss the article. Bismarok's organs maintain complete silence on the subject. The Hamburger Nachritchten has not even reproduced the North German Ga zette' article, and is supposed to be awaiting instructions from Prince Bismarck. The Somen Courier alone defends Prince Bismarck. It says: "Prince Bismarck never intended to work ill to the Father land. The struggle was not begun by Prince Bismarck, but was forced upon him. Since he left office he has been the victim of Blander and misrepresentation, against' which he has only defended himself." The Catholic organ, Germania, says: "The North German Gazette it article shows the pain felt by the Government in having to adopt an inimical attitude toward the creator of German unity, but they can console them selves over the fact that for two years they have displayed unexampled patience and long Buflering." A SEA MYSTERY SOLVED. The Taylor Ban Down by the Ocean ftacer Trave, bnt the Crew Saved. liONDOif, June 29. Th'e steamer Trave, which left New Tork Jnne 21 for Southampton, has passed the Sicily Island. She signals that she was slightly. damaged after leaving New Tork by a collision with a vessel. The Trave succeeded in saving the captain and crew, who are on board the Trave. The vessel which the Trave ran down is supposed to be tbe Fred B. Taylor, of Tarmouth, N. S., which was seen float ing upside down in the ocean a few days ago, showing signs .of haying been nearly cut in two by a collision, and concerning tbe fate of whose 'captain and crew great anxiety has been felt A dispatoh from New Tork says: News brought by a sailing ship has encouraged the friends and relatives of those,on board the ship Frederick B. Taylor to tope that at least .some oi the crew have been saved. The Hippolyte Dnmois, which has arrived at Boston, sighted the 'forward half of 'a large ship with" a raft tied to it. It is be lieved that this was a part of the) Taylor, and the -fact that a raft was tied to tbe wreckage enoourages tbe'' hope that at least tome ot the crew may have escaped, tor they evidently had time enough to make a raft after the ship was struck; .

Stanley, who Is to stand for one of the London con stituencies of the Liberal-Unionist interest, is encountering considerable hostility. To day tbe explorer, accompanied by his wife, addressed a political meeting at Lambetb, and he bad quite a lively experience. The proceedings throughout were marked by the most uproarious conduct on the part of many present who were hostile to Mr. Stan ley, and who continually interrupted him during the course of bis "address with irrle evant remarks and irritating questions. 'When the speaker denounced anarchy and socialism as opposed to law, order and morality, he wai greeted witb,derislve yells and loud cries of, "How about King Cof fee?" "How many negroes did you kill?" The disturbers then set up wild shouts for Mr. Gladstone, drowning Mr. Stanley's voice and interrupting Aim so that it was with much difficulty he was able to proceed. In spite of tbe efforts of those in charge, the disorder continued to increase and the meeting was at length terminated amid a scene of tbe greatest confusion. CHOLEBA'S WOTWABD MABOH.

His Friends Ask Congress to Require an Inquiry Into the Cause of Bis Imprison mentThey Say He Wan Not Connected With the Phoenix Park Murder. "Washington, June 29. Special. There is likely to be the reopening of what was once a celebrated case. To-day Repre sentative McAleer introduced into the House three petitions relative to the case of Dr. Thomas Gallagher, tbe Brooklyn phy sician, who, nine years ago, while in Lon don, was arrested for supposed complicity in the Phoenix Park assinations, tried and sub sequently sentenced to imprisonment for life. The petitions are respectively from the T. A. B. of Philadelphia with head, quarters at St. Paul's Temperance Hall; T. Burns' Club of Philadelphia, and the Sana field branch of the Irish Catholic Benevo lence Union. The petitioners asked that the House and Senate pass a joint resolution calling upon the Department of State" to inquire into the case of Dr. Gallagher, and, shonld it be proven that he is unjustly incarcerated, in sist upon his immediate release. Tbe peti tioners explain that Dr. Gallagher was a regularly naturalized citizen ot the United States, and before leaving for London bad with him a passport. On April S, nine days after he reached London, be was arrested on a charge of beine in sympathy and di rectly connected with the dynamiters over whose movements there was much agitation at the time. Application was made to James Bussell Lowell, then Minister to the Court of St. James. Dr. Gallagher was promised as muoh protection as lay within the power of Minister Lowell to give. The petitioners allege that, contraryto his promises, Minis ter Lowell neglected to Interest himself in Dri Gallagher's trial, which was brief, and resulted in the accused's conviction. It Is said tbat Gallagher was convicted on the evidence chiefly ot a professional informer, who since has been tried and convicted for perjury. , Representative McAleer, in the House, in pursuance to the suggestion of the peti tioners, presented a resolution. He prom ises to push the matter, and has the assist ance of several members from New Tork. Dr. Gallagher's case created much comment nine years ago, and the movement now started in his behalf has caused an immense amount of speculation as to its probable ont oome. It is barely possible that another in ternational complication may occur. Tbe Cleveland Car Strike Settled. Cleveland, June 29.

CURIOSITY 0P THE COUNTRY FOLK ISFECIAIi TnUKU to tub dispatch.) Bdzzabd'b Bat, June 29. Mr. Cleve land and Mrs. Cleveland received the citi zens and shore residents of tbe Buzzard's bay villages to-night. The guests were largely country people from along the shore, with a sprinkling here and there of Boston, New Tork and Western summer sojourners at neighboring resorts. There were, few present of more than local Importance, and it was a simple affair soon over. Mr. Cleveland shook each guest by tbe hand, and Mr. Cleveland had a pleasant word for all and a warm pressure of the hand. Many or the country people made themselves at home about the place, in stead of quietly departing after presenta tion. They ambled about the verandas, peeked into windows to catch a glimpse of the furnishings, and some of the young people went down on Mr. Cleveland's boat landing, helped themselves to his rowboat and paddled about to their hearts' content Others ran pell-mell over the neatly kept lawns, investigated tne stames and even the chicken house, which is being remodeled for an office for Mr. Cleveland's private secretary. Mr. Cleveland was jovial and unusually cordial to his Cape Cod neighbors, who per sisted in obtaining something more than a mere nod and a hand-shake.from the Demo cratic nominee. C. T. Chamberlaine intro duced the visitors to Mr. and Mrs. Cleve land, and made a short speeoh of welcome to Cape Cod to the distinguished couple. Mr. Cleveland responded a3 lollows: My friends, I hope you will credit me with perieot sincerity nuen I say I am glad to see you here, and when I thank yon Tor call ins upon me In such a neighborly way. I am one of those who deem the respect of my fellour citizens, tbe trust of my triend und the affectionate esteem of njv neizbbors, as among tbe dearest thing ot life; and one who ueneves tnacnononors can mrnisn personal gratification except such as are based upon tbese sentiments. I am thoroughly aware that many of us differ and are widely separated In political thought and action. It mar be tbat we would not be so widely apart if we understood each other better. At any rate it detracts nothing from our good citizenship, provided our political Ideas' and beliefs are based upon deliberate, consoientlons and pa triotic reflection. I am happy In the belief tbat you suspect me no more than I do you of any desire to Injure the Interests of the people and of the country.

Snes to Recover. A hearing was had before Alderman Cahill last night in a caie involving an alleged infringement of the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The case was an action brought by Fred Butler, a colored resident of Belle fonte street, against Patrick Welsh, pro prietor of a restaurant on ITrankstown ave nue, to recover 51 80. " Butler's story is that last Friday he and a colored friend went into Welsh's restaurant to get a meal. Welsh told them it would cost them $1 each, though a card on the wall' said "Meals 23 cents." A dollar meal was too "hieh" for them, and they said they would take a cup ot coffee. That would cost B0 cents each they were in formed. They then started to go out, but on the way saw a cut watermelon. Above it was a card bearing tbe inscription: "Watermelon, 10 cents a slice." They each asked for a slice, and were modestly told tbe price would be $1 per slice. The proverbial love of the dusky race for the luscious fruit overtopped even the gilt-edged-price asked and two slices were pur chased. Butler paid the 2, and when the melon had been eaten considered how he could get his money back. He consulted Attorney Holmes, also col ored, and on his advice entered suit before Alderman Cahill to recover $1 80 over charge. At the hearing last night Mr. Welsh made no defense, and the Alderman reserved his decision. He intimated, how ever, that he would likely give judgment for the plaintiff in order to nave the case taken to court and secure a decision on the matter. PHOPUSI4I3.
