A CONFERENCE TO SETTLE IT ALL, When It Is Thought Chicajro's Present Tark Sky Will Be Cleared. DETAILS OP TIIE WORK OP THE DAI Washington, July 19. The interest in the House to-day hod its storm center in the World's Fair amendments to the sundry civil appropriation bill Toward them all breezes blew. The amendment appropriat ing f 5,000, 000 in aid of the Exposition was non-concurred in, the enemies of the propo sition having a majority of 12L There was a great deal of interest, but not much ex citement manifested in the vote, which was closer than the conservative friends of the appropriation looked for, and which sur prised its antagonists by not being as large as expected. The Sunday closing amend ment was concurred in by a decisive major ity, and the bill was sent to conference. The fortification conference report was agreed to and some routine business was transacted. After some Republican filibustering at the opening of the House session to prevent an agreement on a resolution from the Rules Committee providing for an investigation of the methods of John L Davenport, Federal Supervisor of Elections in New York City, the resolution was agreed to by 187 to 0. The House then went into committee of the whole, Mr. Lester, of Georgia, in the chair, on the Senate amendments to the sundry civil appropriation bilL Holman Couldn't Postpone a Vote. It had been agreed that th vote on the World's Fair amendment should be taken at noon, and as the hands ot the, clock showed that bnt four minutes remained for debate Mr. Holman, of Indiana, asked that the time for discussion should be extended another hour. But to tbu Mr. "Watson, of Georgia, objected, and after Mr. Holman bad consumed the four minutes in advocat ing a non-concurrence in the Senate amend ments the Chairman stated that the hour for a vote had arrived. The Chairman then ruled that no amend- stents could be offered after 12 o'clock, aod the various amendments were taken up in order, and the first one a verbal amend ment was concurred in.

Mr. Lynch, of Wisconsin, called up an amendment requiring the expenditure of (100,000 in procuring an exhibit showing the progress of the Indian race. Lost. Some .Am-ndments Concurred Jn. The Senate amendment appropriating 50,000 vellum impressions was concurred in. Mr. Taylor, of Illinois, moved to amend the Sunday closing clause by stopping the machinery and unnecessary labor on Sun day, and by pro iding that a hall shall be procured for the holding of religious serv ices on Sundays in the Fair grounds. This was defeated, and Mr. Lind's proposition to strike out the entire Sunday closing para graph was ruled out of order. W. A. Stone; of Pennsylvania, moved that the committee concur in the Senate Sunday closing amendment, and, upon a division, much to the surprise of both sides, there was a majority in favor of the motion, the vote standing 78 to 74. Tellers were or dered and again the committee decided to concur, the vote standing 102 to 72. The anouncement was received with applause. Mr. O'Neill, of Missouri, made a strenu ous effort to add to the bill, as a new sec tion, the following: It shall not be lawful for anv officer of tho Government authorized to make contracts, or any officer in the District of Columbia, to contract with any person, firm or corpora tion to employ Plnkerton detectives or any other association of men as armed guards, and no employe of Said detective agency or similar agencies shall be employed in any Government service or by any officer of the District of Columbia. It could not come in as a separate section without unanimous consent, and to this Mr. Oates, of Alabama, objected. The O'Kellf Amendment Agreed To. Mr. O'Neill then offered it as an amend ment to the clause appropriating for the capital police. His purpose was mainly to prevent the employment of Finkertons in the District of Columbia during the Grand Army Encampment, as well as at the "World's Fair. After half an hour, con sumed in securing a quorum, the amend ment was agreed to 140 to 22. The committee then rose and reported the bill to the House. The recommenda tion ot the committee in regard to the Senate amendments was agreed to with the exception of tho3e amendments pertaining to lighthouces, to the Geological Survey, and to the "World's Fair. Mr. Oates also demanded a separate vote on Mr. O'XeM's amendment relating to the Finkertons. All the lighthonse amend ments were non-concurred in. The question then recurred on Mr. O'Neill's Pinkerton amendment, and on this the yeas and nays were ordered. The noise in" the hall was so creat, and the inattention to business so general, that the amendment had to be read lour times, and the Speaker had to answer half a dozen parliamentary inquiries before the clerk could begin to call the roll. The lack of attention irri tated the Chair, and when after the clerk had called the first name, Mr. Johnson, of Indiana, Mr. Breckenridge, of Arkansas, rose Mo parliamentary inquiries, he pe remptorily refused to recognize them, and ordered the clerk to proceed an action which called forth a sotto voce indorsement from Mr. Beed, of Maine: "Tyrannical, but rig"."

The members of the National Commission and Board of Control of the World's Fair now in Washington were very agreeably surprised at the result of the yea and nay vote in the House to-day on the Senate amendment to the sundry civil appropria tion bill, appropriating $5,000,000 lor the World's Fair, for it lessened from a major ity of 25 against the appropriation as shown by the vote in Committee of the Whole to a majority of 12 against the ap propriation. This change in the vote, they thought, argued well for an ultimate entire reversal of the action of the House. They are hopeful that this result will be reached through the instrumentality of a conference report and are working hard to have that end attained. WORK ON LOCAL RIVERS.

General Casey, chief of the Engineering Bureau ot the War Department, has just received the an nual report of the engineers having In charge the work of improving the Alle gheny, Ohio and Monongahela rivers. Ex tracts from the report of J. W. Arras, engineer in charge of the Pittsburg harbor, recount the efforts made tobreak up the practice of en croaching on the harbor oy depositing ref use, etc., and whenever 'complaints "were made of such enoroachmentn the offending persons were notified to stop, which usually had the desired effect. One person was ar rested and convicted. Mr. Arras' report concludes: The frequent proceedings which have been instituted to enforce the law of 1890 against persons encroaching on the river have had the effect or causing almost an en tire suspension or encroachments ingenerai. Notwithstanding this, lion over, a con stant vigilance is necessary in orJer to maintain a permanent obedience to the law.

The 200 guests of the Atlantic Hotel, on Ocean ave nue, were startled from their slumbers at S:30 o'clock this morning by the terrible cry of fire. The cry came from the north wing of the house, and almost immediately flames burst out of the windows and from the roof of the wing, while the rest of the house rapidly filled with smoke. Shortly after the first cry another alarm was sounded from the west wing. This alarm was in a woman's voice, and her shrill tones aroused the entire house. The doors of rooms in the main building and the wings were thrown open, and women and children in all stages of undress dashed out into the corridors, yelling, screaming and waving their hands frantically in the air. There was only a little smoke in the main building at this time, but the flames were rapidly consuming tho north wing, which is occupied by the. servants, and the corridors, along which the guests' rooms are ranged, were gradually becoming so black that the excited people could scarcely see three feet away. Cottagers Take Care of the Gacsts. There were but few men in the house. The women were unmanageable and ran wildly through the hall, some with children in their arms and others dragging little ones along behind them. Sympathetic cot tagers took most of the gnests in, but some in their excitement dashed back into the hotel, looking for jewelry and money left in their rooms. During all this time no alarm had been sent out, and the fire was gaining headway so rapidly that it promised soon to consume the entire building. The first outsider to discover the hotel was on fire was Samuel Moses, the proprietor of the Shelburne House, which is on Ocean avenue, nearly a mile away from the Atlantic, He at onc9 sounded an alarm. The first engine toreacli the scene was that of the West End Com pany. They could do nothing with the flames at first, but when reinforcements ar rived the fire was, toon gotten under con trol. During this time, however, the most ter rible scenes were being enacted within the house. Only half the guests had gotten out in the first place, and most of these had re turned hoping to save some of their valu ables. When they got to their rooms, how ever, they found them occupied by men who were helping themselves to everything they could lay their bands on. DUgracefnl Scenes at the Fire. Women and children were knoclted down and assaulted when they protested against the robberies. The thieves had everything their own way, and it is estimated that something like (20,000 worth of diamonds and other jewelry, as well as 2,000 in money, and dresses and other clothing, the value ot which cannot be estimated, were stolen. The Tobberies are all the more disgrace ful from the fact that most of the thieves were either members of the volunteer fire department of Long Branch, or toughs mas querading as such. The Atlantic Hotel is patronized mainly by weal thy; New York Hebrews, and among the guests were Judge Goldfogle and his invalid mother, who is 77 vears old and a victim ot paralysis. Judge Goldfogle haoLquite an exciting timet the nre. tie not only carried his aged mother, out but also save'd three or four children whohadbecotie separated from their parents iff the excitement To a DrspATCH re porter the Judge told the following story: The Story or the Proprietor. "I was among the first to awake when the alarm was given. My first thought was for my mother, who occupied an adjoining room with her maid, a plucky girl, Lena Biel. My mather Is old and invalid, but I managed to get her out safely before the other guests of the house knew the place was on fire. When I returned to the hotel the halls were full of half dressed women and children rushing around like crazy peo ple. Some women had shoes in theirhands, others were dressed, but none seemed to know what they were doing. I got a tew little children out on the lawn. "The halls and rooms were filled with strange men, paying no attention to the panic-stricken women, but plundering the rooms at a great rate. J. ve heard of a num ber of losses, and they aggregate away up in thethousands, but the losers don't care to get their names in print. One or two of the guests were robbed of everything and had to borrow wrappers from cottagers. The fire itself did not do so much damage, but thieves did plenty, and something ought to be done immediately." The Baker Started llie Fire. The fire originated in the bake shop. The baker got up at 2 o'clock, and after build ing his fires, settled down for a nap. It is thought that a spark flew up the chimney, lodged on abeam, and set it afire. Moses Lustig, the proprietor, was one of 'the maddest and at the same time saddest men in Long Branch when a reporter saw him this afternoon. "It is a shame, a dis grace," he said, "that such things as went on at that fire should be allowed in a civi lized community. I saw the thieves It work, myself. I saw five well-dressed men. their hands fall of money, drinking wine from bottles. My silverware protruded from their pockets. I knocked one drunken loafer down, and as be fell a dozen spoons, knives and forks fell from his pockets." The DisrATCH reporter made a canvass of as many of the guests as he could find, and got the names of several of the heaviest losers. Mrs. Goldfogle lost about $2,600 in diamonds, money and clothing. Charles Sulzberger and his daughter, with Miss aaran buizoerger, lost between them about $2,UO0 worth of diamonds and clothing. Some Jlnrf of the Gnests' Losses. Mrs. Dr. Felduian lost about $1,000 worth ot jeweirv, while her husband mourns the loss of a beautiful peagreen bathing suit, for which, he told the writer, he paid fi 60 yesterday. The three Misses Schlesinger lost everything they had, jewelry, clothing and money. They will be taken care of by cottagers until assistance arrives from their lriends. . - . There was an exciting scene on the lawn when Strs.'Kosa Friedman ran out ot the hotel with her diamonds and money in one hand and a dress in the othtr. A Dig loafer sprang upon her right before the eyes of the crowd, and, before she could defend herself, wrested the money and jewelry from her hand. Three or tour men saw the deed and, springing upon the thief, made him give np his booty. The owner's loss on the building will be about $15,000. Mr. Luttig's loss amounts to about $4,000. NEWS FR0MJTHE VATICAN. The, Pope's Eulogy of Archbishop Ireland The Pilgrimages to the Episcopal Jubilee New Cardinals to Be Created The Fall of a Prussian Minister. HOme, July'l9. The Pope, receiving the pupils of the Propaganda, delivered an ani mated eulogy on Archbishop Ireland, prais ing his many virtues, his vigor as a thinker and his energy in action. The Archbishop, he said, was a true republican and genuine democrat, and since leaving Borne had done good work for the church in Paris. These remarks were received with enthusiasm. Certain Cardinals have been renewing the press on the Pope to respond directly.to the French Catholic Royalists, but His Holi ness remains firm in his intention to make no reply. The pilgrimages for the episcopal jubilee of the Pope will take place from October 15, 1892, until April 15, 189a They will open with a great pilgrim gathering of French workmen, conducted by the Count de Mun and Cardinal Langenieux. The Pope will create new cardinals on the eve of his jubilee, February 19. His Holiness has adjourned the Cardinal Consistories, in spite ot a considerable num ber of vacancies, chiefly because the pow ers forming the Triple Alliance arermakine unheard-of efforts to get their friends into the sacred college, in 'view of the future conclave. Apropos of the recall of Herr von Schloezer as Prussian Minister at the Vati can, it may be stated that Herr von Schloezer was the confidant of Bismarck. Crafty and mixing much in society, he was for a time a leading influence in Borne. In timate with Monsignor Galimberto, he suc ceeded througli him in getting the Pope to approve his septenue. But his power less ened when Cardinal Bampolla came upon the scene. Any fusion between these na tures was impossible; The first rupture oc curred when Herr von Schloezer announced to Cardinal Bampolla the visit of the Kaiser to Borne. The Cardinal, rising from his seat, at once said: "It is an insult to the Pope." Herr von Schloezer, also rising, re plied: "And I cannot allow my sovereign to be insulted." The rupture became de'fi nitive when the Kaiser failed of proper re spect to the Pope during his visit From that time Schloezer and his entourage worked unceasingly for the downfall of Rampolla. AVhilc Monsignor Bocalli lived Schloezer tried through him to act upon the Pope, but at his death Schloezer's influ ence at the Vatican entirely ceased.

With the result of the North Kerry election, due to-day, the polling in Tlpperary, which takes place to-day, and the polling in the Orkney Islands, which takes place next week, the contest will be over. The parties now stand: Conservatives, 314; Opposition, 333. The three remaining districts are certain to return supporters of Mr. Gladstone, so the latter's majority in the next Houe will be 42. In County Kerry, North division, Thomas Sexton, anti-Parnellite, has a majority of 2,794. In-1885 and 1880 the Nationalist candidates were unopposed. Mr. Sexton was a member of the last Parliament, and tohim were due many of the amendments to the Irish education bill which was passed by the House at its last session. He repre sented the Western divison of Belfast in the last House, and stood for re-election in that district. He was defeated by the Lib eral Unionist candidate, Arnold Forster, but will sit-in the next Parliament as a member from North Kerry.

A band of 180 reapers, men and women, employed at Bebar, Hun gary, struck to-day for an increase ot wages. When their demands were refused they seized a wagon loaded with corn, de claring that that would be a fair share of the profits. The farmer who had hired the reapers summoned the gendarmes. The eendarmes were soon at the scene of the 'disturbance, but their presence at first did not mghten the strikers, who were becom ing more riotous. They threatened to burn the farmer's house about his ears and to lav waste his fields if he did not comply with their demand, and they threatened the gendarmes if they interfered. ' Finally the Inspector gave the command to fire. His men poured a volley into the reapers. In the meantime one of the strikers, who was standing in a group of several others, drew a knile and stabbed the Inspector. The mob showed no disposition to disperse after they had been fired upon, and the gendarmes, armed with Mannlicher rifles, fired volley after volley into them until 42 rounds were discharged. Twelve men and women were killed and many were wounded before the mob was driven from the place. The strikers were scattered about the field, and it was owing to this fact that a larger number was not killed or wounded. U0BE ETS8IAH GBATITUDE.

Whitworth, Armstrong. An Adjournment Till To-Day. After the formality of organization was over the conferenceadjourned until to-morrow morning. Never in the history of the district has so much interest been shown in a confer ence as in this one. All day boomers from every county poured into the quiet town of Saltsburg. Their entry was not marked with any display, but each crowd came to work for his own county. Colonel C F. Huff and his party were the first to come into town. His lieuten ants, aside from his conferees, are J. A. Beacom, Chairman of Westmoreland County Eepubiicau Committee; R, A. Fulton-Lyon, L. B. Huff, the Congressman's son, and-G. F. Kelly, of the Greensburg Tribune. Captain J. S. Nesbit was the next candidate on the field. He came unat tended, but was followed later in the day dv jm. a. untune, it is. xoung and s. A. Campbell Other of his townsmen will be down to-mprrow. N. C. Bond came in late in the afternoon. His helpers are A. B. Chopin, S. C Bond, W. O. Smith and J. M. Bever. D. B. Heiner followed him closely. His brother, W. G. Heiner, M. H, Cochran, D. A. Coch ran, J. Kirkwood, D. D. P. Alexander and F. W. Jackson are to hustle for him. Some Good Hard Work Done. As soon as the candidates, conferees and boomers had arrived a good deal of hard worlc was done. The most friendly feeling seems to exist between all the candidates, but each man has strong determinations. Colonel Huffs smiling face could be seen everywhere,and he seemed to share an equal -.--41.. At.- -t.A-.n. A 11 !.- . 11 jai.iuiucia)vu.iuii. ah tuu wire pulling- done availed nothing, for each county went into the'eonference firm to its man. The report was given out that Armstrong county would go to Huff if it lost all chance of getting its man through. When asked about this the Armstrong delegation de nied it, and said they were for Heiner from start to finish. To-morrow morning each county will start in the conference with firm ranks for its own man. Two of the delegations say they will keep their front np to a finish, while the others seem to be more willing to come to terms. Indiana county presents its candidate on the "old soldier" issue, and on that ground hopes to be victorious. The conferees sav that Indiana oounty is the banner Republican county of the district, and also the county which determines the elections. The Strongest Man Needed. The Democrats in all likelihood, they say, will nominate Captain H. K. Sloan, of In diana. He, too, is an old soldier of uni versal popularity, and to their minds it will take a man of equal standing to defeat him. They think that one man is Captain J. S. Nesbit The plea that the county has not had the office for a number of years will also be strongly argued. The Armstrong county contingent figures it out that It has not had a Congressman since away back in 1868. On those grounds alone will the fight be made. The con ferees say they will vote every time for Heiner. They declare that the Republi cans of Armstrong county want him and they are going to have him in Congress next year. This is the second trial Mr. Heiner has made for the nomination. He was defeated the last time by Colonel Huff. Jeflerson county points to the fact that she is rapidly growing in population, in dustry and Republicanism. For this growth she thinks she should have the right to name the next Congressman in the person of W. a Bond. Jefferson County's Second Choice. It is well known that Jeflerson countv'a second choice is Mr. Huff. Mr. Bond con cedes that much. The lost county,and the one toward which all eyes are turned, is Westmoreland. It again presents Colonel G. F. Huff, with the unanimous Republican support ot the county. They ask that he be given a sec ond term on the merits ot the one just about concluded. In Mr. Huff the couutv thinks it has the one man who can, carry the party to victory next fall. His friends point to his course in the present Congress. They say be has given closer attention to his con stituents and accomplished more results than any of his predecessors have for years. He is in constant receipt of letters from old soldiers from all over his district, thanking him for his interest in their behalf. W. J. C. nonnced to Director General Davis the de feat of the bill was a personal letter from Lyman J. Gage, Chairman of the Federal Legislation Committee, asking him to pro ceed immediately to Washington to take charge of the interests of the Exposition. Colonel Davis instantly responded. He closed np his business and took the Penn sylvania limited, in company with Judge Altgnld. In answer to questions concern ing the course he should pursue after arriv ing in Washington, the Director Generaf said. "Until I have looked the ground over I cannot say exactly what will be done. The Conference Committee will meet Thursday, and we hope to pesuade its mem bers that the appropriation should ba made. That is our only hope, but I am confident that it will not fail us. It is too late in the season to attempt to do any direct missionary work. I will pay strict atten tion to the Conference Committee, be lieving that its recommendations will be adopted."

THE CANDIDATES ABE ON THEIR WAT Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars Wipes Oat a Debt That Has Been Placed at Two Mill ions Indemnity Forked Over for the Murdered Sailors. Washington, July 19. Secretary of State Foster announced to-day that an en tirely cordial and mutually satisfactory set tlement had hecn reached between the Gov ernment of the United States and Chile re specting the indemnity to be paid by the latter on account of the assault upon the crew of the Baltimore at Valparaiso, Octo ber 1C, of last year The last published dis patch upon the subject was sent by Mr. Blaine, January 30 last, in which it was stated that the President believed that the subject dT reparation for the affair was capa ble of adjustment by the usual diplomatic methods, and that the sense of justice of Chile would doubtless enable the two gov ernments to honorably make a full end of the whole matter. The subject rested in this condition until the entrance into the Chilean cabinet of the present Minister ot Foreign Affairs, Senor Errazuriz, last month, when he com municated to Mr. Egan the disposition of the Chilean government to come to an ad justment of the Baltimore Indemnity. On July 1, Mr. Egan was informed by" Secre tary Foster that the President was much gratified at the indication received of the disposition of the Chilean Government, and that he did not doubt that it would be ready to make a liberal indemnity to the families of the deceased and to the wounded survivors, and Mr. Egan was instructed to ascertain the views of the Minister of Foreign Affairs on the subject. Under date of the 13th instant, Senor Errazuriz addressed Mr. Egan a note, p'ac ine at the disposal of the latter the sum of $76,000 in gold, asking htm to cause it to be distributed among the families of the two seamen who lost their lives and to tho sur viving members of the crew wounded in the affair of October 16. On the 17th instant, Mr. Egan replied, cordially accepting the offer of the Chilean government as a frank, friendly and entirely satisfactory settlement of the deplorable occurrence at Valparaiso. AFTER THE PINKERT0NS. The Senate Inclined to Side With the Honse Against That Detective System Clos ing Day's TVortc of the Upper House. Washington, July 19. The resolution offered by Mr. Morgan last m eek, instruct ing the Committee on Finance to report a bill with all convenient despatch giving to all paper money issued by the Government, and to standard silver dollars, the full legal tender effect that is given by law to gold coins, was taken up in the Senate to-day and discussed for an hour and a half, the debaters being Messrs. Morgan, Sherman and Allison. But when the, hour of 2 o'clock arrived there had been no action on the resolution, and it was relegated to the calendar. ' ' Then the anti-option bill was taken up and its consideration proceeded with, only one dilatorv motion having been interposed, and Mr. Vest stated that no obstructive course would be resorted to. Mr. Stewart made a long speech, principally on the sub ject of bi-metallism, and ot the depreciation of farm lands and the general products of the country, which resulted, as he said, from the shrinkage In the volume ot cur rency. He said, however, that he would probably vote for the anti-option bill, just to show how worthless it was. A large nnmber of amendments that, had been offered by Mr. Washburn were agreed to without question, and a substitute was offered tor the whole bill by Mr. George on behalf of himself and Mr. Cooke and Pugh. A reprint of the bill was ordered, and it went over till to-morrow. A message announcing the action of the House on the sundry civil appropriation bill was laid before the Senate, including the House provision in relation to the .fink erton detective force. Mr. Allison said, in regard to the latter, that he had no doubt of its meeting the approval of the Senate, but that its phraseology might have to be modi fied, and that it should be in its appropriate place. On his motion, therefore, that amendment was disagreed to and a confer ence agreed to on the whole bilL Messrs. Allison, Hale and Gorman were appointed conferees on the part of tne Senate.

Spclal j Cal lie Swize, a well-to-do Syrian, was mur dered last night in the parish jail of Iber ville parish by the negro prisoners confined there. As in most Louisiana parish jails, all the prisoners are confined together, whether murderers or drunks, and Swize, who was locked up on the simple charge of being disorderly, was put in the same build ing with a number of desperate criminals, most of the latter being negroes. They gagged two Italian prisoners to pre vent an alarm, and then attacked Swize, trying to force him to surrender his prop erty, and beat him so severely that when the doors of the jail were opened next morning be was found to be in a dying con dition, and died soon afterward. CHICAGO PEOPLE STAGOEBED. The Congressional Conference Committee Js Islw Their Only Hop. CHICAGO, July 19. The news of the defeat of the World's Fair appropriation bill in-the lower branch of Congress spread rapidly through the offices at headquarters to-day. Its first effect was to stagger those who had believed that when a final vote was taken Congress would support tho Fair it had made. No director was found, how ever, who would admit defeat. And,' by the way, those who had asserted that an ap propriation based upon Sunday closing would not be accepted were as disgusted as their fellows at the announcement of the action of the House of Bepresentatives. Following the special telegram which an- Bain Delays the Great .Event, Which Will Take Place To-Day. The Connty Fair and cirous that was to have been given at Sewickley yesterday afternoon was postponed until to-day. The programmes announced that in case of rain on the 19th, the 20th would be the date, and In consequence no orfo turned out yesterday except those who were interested in putting the grounds of the ath letic association in shape. It is expected that more than the ordinary amount of pleasure generally resulting from enter tainments of this nature will be furnished by those who have the aflair in charge, and if society in general cannot find enjoyment there, it will be bard to please. The first event is billed at 3:15 p. ar. and from then on until darkness comes on every minute will be occupied by the contestants in the field. A regular circus ring has been pro vided and some rare equestrian feats are promised by the daring riders who have voluntered for the occasion. So far as known at the present time the only feature ot a circus that has been overlooked is the street parade and this may be thrown in as an extra, KILLED IN A QTABBT.- Netv Yoek, July 19. The National Democratic Committee will meet in this city to-morrow evening to organize', and lay out the preliminary work of the cam paign. Nearly all the members are already in the city, and the greatest interest is being manifested by prominent Democrats from all over the country in the meeting of the committee. Although the first meeting of the committee is called for to-morrow even ing, it is expected that, owing to the notifi cation ceremonies, the committee will merely effect a temporary organization and adjourn until the following day. On Wednesday the committee will effect its permanent organization, and immedi ately following this will come a conference between the committee and Messrs. Cleve land and Stevenson. The arrangements for the conference are still in embryo, and its nature will depend much on the wishes of tho two candidates. Possibly Only an Informal Conference. It is thought by some that the latter gen tleman may not deem It wise to meet the committee in formal session, and in that event the conference 'will be an informal one, held with the individual members of the committee after the adjournment of that body. The indications are still favorable to the selection of Hon. William F. Harritv, of Pennsylvania, as Chairman of the National Committee, but there has suddenly de veloped slight opposition to the selection of the Keystone State as the leader of the campaign.' This opposition, so far as it has become manifest, is confined to the Southern States, where Mr. Cleveland is strongest, but where the respect of Tam many is most potent. The committee, who express doubts as to the wisdom of selecting Mr. Harrity, are perfecty frank in stating that they fear that Mr. Harrity's selection would be dis pleasing to the regular New York Dem ocracy, and that every attempt Bhould be made to conciliate the militant TJemncmivw in the great pivotal State of New York. Tho Supposed Gratis of Tammany. It is recalled, in this connection, that Hon. Bourke Cockran, the spokesman of Tammany, took occasion especially to re buke the Pennsylvania delegation in bis famous convention speech, and to allude sarcastically to the spectagle presented by Pennsylvania in forcing the nomination of ex-President Cleveland when its electoral vote was practically assured in advance for Benjamin Harrison. The influence of Mr. Harrity was potent in throwing the solid vote ot Pennsylvania to Mr. Cleveland, and there are many who think the selection of the Pennsylvanian to lead the campaign might be construeB into an affront to the New York friends of Senator Hill.' AH efforts to secure an expression from the Tammany leaders on this point are said to have been unavailing, and if there is any opposition to Mr. Harrity in that quarter it has not been made manifest Secretary S. P. Sheerin, of the National Committee, arrived in the city to-day and opened temporary headquarters at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. The Candidates En Koute. Grover Cleveland, General A. E. Steven son. General Ewing, Private Secretary O'Brien and some half a dozen newspaper Ain Imfl TlllTTJirH'l. Tlnv Ml thl fjl T -sr train en route far New York via the Fall Biver line. The departure was a qniet one, the party arriving at the station soon after the train arrived. Mr. Cleveland in some haste purchased the tickets, and afterward, with the others, took seats in the through Fall Biver car. A small party gathered at the station to see the distinguished persons, but no enthusiasm was manifested. Mrs. Cleveland left yesterday afternoon in Mr. Benedict's yacht Oneida, and will join her husband later. The Clevelands will only be absent from hpme a short time, and wili undoubtedly return after the duties of meeting the committee are concluded. At Middleboro the party was greeted by a delegation of Democrats, headed by Colonel Earle Byder, and an open-hearted reception occurred. There were no unusual incidents during the trip from Buzzard's Bay, the time being taken up in exchange of experiences at the bar between Mr. Cleve land and General Ewing, General Steven son joining in. On reaching Fall Biver the party, boarded the steamer Pilgrim, where the employes of the boat welcomed Mr. Cleveland "as though he was an old friend. Both Cleve land and Stevenson n ere Introduced to a large number of people on the boat, and both appeared in excellent health and spirits. . ' Cattlemen G-t a Change of Venue. Laramie, Wyo., July 19.
