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 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.

Absent Delegates Given No Tote.
Soon after 4 o'clock, the convention was
called to order for the afternoon session. 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

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."

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,

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

they evidently had time enough to make a

London, June 29. Henry M. 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

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

DR. GALLAGHER'S CASE.
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.

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. There
fore, while we may differ in politics, we will
differ good-naturedly and still be good neigh
bors, attached and devoted to our homes
upon this pleasant shore and always con
gratulating ourselves that we, who enjoy the
cool breezes of Buzzard's Bay, are favored
above all others by a kind Providence.
After meeting the ex-President the visi
tors passed out through the west door and
slowly dispersed through the grounds. Eor
an hour a steady stream oi vehicler drove
up to the door, and when tbe reception was
over, at about 730 p. M,, about 300 persons
had called.

Je3iM3
PAID A VEBY PABCT PBiCZ,
A Colored Man, Overcharged by a Bestan
rant Keeper. 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.
