ST. LOUIS CONVENTION 8ENATOR THUR3TON OF NEBRASKA FOR PERMANENT CHAIRMAN. The Color t.lm It SUM a Vesatlone Qnes tlon The national Commit ltrariy to ' Meet Many Contests For Sent! to He. Aeted Upon. 8t. Lorrfs, June 10. Politicians great and smnU, black find white and all the Intermediate similes of complexion, from all over the Union urn swarming Into this big town. For the Inst wank the bave been dropping In nt odd Intervale by ones and twoa. But now they are coming by tha onrlnad, and It will be a week before they will bare all arrived. Although It is almost a week nntll the convention will be onllod to ordor, there la a vnst amount of preliminary work to be done. There are sooros of contests to be argued before the national committee, which meets to day, and Bdded to this la a vast deal of routine work to be done. It Is asserted thnt. backed up by tho elate made by McKlnley'a managers, G. W. Fairbanks of Intllanapolla will be made temporary chnirmanof the Republican convention apd .1. M. Thurston of Nebras ka will be permanent chairman. These selections come In the nature of a aur prise, as neither hnd been prominently mentioned during the canvass for the po sitions. It had been understood that the selec tions would be either Mnrrlnm of Minne sota, who refused the honor a month ago; Bulkeley of Connecticut, Alger of Mich igan, Evans of Tennessee, Warner Miller of New York . Hastings of Pennsylva nia, with General Charles H. Grosvenor of Ohio as a possibility. These men were all carefully considered as to their pecul iar fitness for the position by AloKinloy manege, and for one reason or another were rujected. During the heat of the campaign Senator Thurston had been one of MoKlnley'a most active aupporters. At one time ha was mentioned as the man to make tha nomination speech for MoKln ley, and when Fornkor received that hon or an agreement was made whereby Thnrston was to receive one equally high. When C. W. B'alrbanka waa In Cleve land throe weeks ago, he waa considered as the proper man to preside over the con vention during Its first arduous delibera tions. His keenness and angnolty ns one of tha first lawyers of the Hoosler state and JOHN M. THURSTON, a leader of the state Republican forcea pe oullarly fitted him for the task. Another strong point In hla favor was that In thns honoring Indiana MoKinley would be as sured of Its unanimous support and effect ually kill any attempt to boom Harrison at the last moment. Passllng Problem For Republicans. St. Louis, .Tone S. What shall bo done with the colored delegates and alternates to the national Republican convention la a question which Is puzzling the mem bora of tha national committee who have arrived here, aa well aa the Bnsinesa Men'a league, which secured tha convention to fit. Louis. Every hotel and boarding house has come out nnt footed and declar ed that It would entertain no negro aa a gueat or customer. Money Is no object. Threats of prosecution have had no effect, and from the present outlook It would seem that unless tents are secured the col ored men will have to go hungry and un housed. "I am thoroughly disgusted and dls- oouragad," aald National Committeeman J. G. Long of Florida In apeaklng of the matter. "I have been looking all day long for a hotel, boarding house or cafe that would admit the negroes, but It baa been' a fruitless search. I even want so far aa to try to charter a steamboat, but when tha owners laomed fur what purpose It waa wanted they found an oxouae for re fusing me tho use of tho vessel. It la the first tlms In the hlatory of tha Republican party where auoh an embarrassing predlo- ament haa arisen. When aakod what tha national commit tee would do In the matter, he replied: "I bave oonsultod with the members who are (tore, and wo have decided to offer a reso lution as soon aa tha committee meets condemning tho hotel and Inn keepers and lor the asttlng aalde of a fund for renting a hall tn whloh oota shall bo plaood for the aooommodatlon of the negroes who may come to the convention. Vta will also re quest tha employment of cooks, eta, to eupply them witn tood." This trouble baa been brewing for nearly a week. A nam ber of days ago it was learned by the Busi ness Men'a league that aoine of the lead' Ing botela had been oanoellng agreements with oertatn state delegations when the landlords learned that negro delegates were numbered among them. It became so apparent that tho negroes were being discriminated against that tbe league is sued toe following manifesto: The League's Manifesto. "The Business Man's leagae, when In Washington aecurlng the nationie) Repub lican convention for tit Louis, promised that colored delegates and meiubera of the national Republloan executive committee should receive the aaine recognition from t,he botela tbat any other delegate to tbe convention would reoelve. ' With tbla It was Implied that tbe citl- MBS representing the city of tit. Louts for securing tbe convention would ask and endeavor to Induce publlo places, hotels, boarding houses and bathrooms, at least lor eonventlun week, to aooord to tbe repu table and respectable colored men who will ooma here representing their section and their people In tho Republican party euflb treatment as any reputable and re spectable person would receive. It Is not believed tbat a great many would want to aooept tbe prlvilegea, but It will be very humiliating if one of them, with tbelr colleagues and friends, or alone. ebould present himself in any public place and bo refused adintttaooe or service. "It is hoped, expected and desired by the gentlemen representing the citizens erbo secured the convention that an will endeavor to meet the situation a justice and propriety require. Any parties fail lug to secure accommodations will pl report to tbe generul hotel oommittee, C. C Rclnwahir, chairman, or tbe bureau of information." When the hotel men read this, tbey were wrathful. Tbey enld It was an Invitation to the colored delegates to proeuoute tbem itt damages. Tbey went to tbo league eouimlttee on hotel aoouinmodatJone and made a rigorous protest. Concerted no tion then followed, with the result that tbe negroes cannot find lodging places or even a reputable plaoe to eat. Major C C, Rainwater, a member of tbe Uiuluee Men's inngne and of the local entertain ment committee, Is qultfl as much dis pleased with tho turn afToirs have takon as any member of the national commit tee. He and several other members of the local committee have been hunting for a place to entertain the negro delegatus, but without suooess. Hint tn a Convention. PiTTsntuio, June m.

CORNELIUS, JR., WILL MARRY MISS QRACE WILSON. The Ynnng Man Made a fltnhhorn Fight For a Hrlde Likelihood of a Hpeedy and Qnlet Marriage at the Home of the Her Parents. Nptw YonK, June 10. Mr. and Mrs. Richard T. Wilson have made the formal finnminoement of the engagement of their youngest dnnghtor, Mlse Uraoe Wilson, to Cornelius Vandnrhllt. Jr. Mr. Cornelius Vanderhllt, Sr., also an nounced thnt the engagement of Cornelius Vanderbllt, Jr., to Miss Wilson Is against MISS GI1AOB WILSON. bis father's expressed wish and without bis consent. Neither of these gtntnnienta bears with It nny surprise to New York society. Nearly every member of that august body bas been aware since last December of tbe existing clrcumntanoes, and although Miss Uson's family had not until this time made absolute annouueetnont of the en gagement and Mrs. Vanderhllt not long ago authorized The Herald to deny ru mors of It which had been floating about the city. Tot there has been a tacit under standing that It has exslsted for nearly ten months. It Is altogether likely that the marriage will be eolehrnted Immediately, In all probability before cte end of the week, at the home of Mr. Wilson, 611 ififtb avenue, and Its oelebratlon will be most qulot. Miss Grace Wilson, the future Mrs. Cornelius Vanderhllt, Jr., tins been lu so ciety several years, and It la understood that the main objection to her being mar ried to young Yanrinrbllt, on the part of his family, la the ditference of their ages, Miss Wilson being nearly eight years tbe senior of her fiance, and the desire of Mr. and Mrs. Vandorbllt fans been for their son not to marry so young. Cornelius vanderhllt, Jr., was gradu ated from Yale university In the class of 18;'B. He was very popular In his class, obtaining the coveted eieotlon to the Scroll and Key socloty In bis senior year. He Is 'ii years old and the second son, his brother, William H., who died four years ago, being senior. Young Vanderbllt's health bas not been good slnoe his graduation, and he has not been out as muoh In society In Mew York as In Newport, and In place of passing his first winter in society bore he went abroad In tbe early part of last winter to join Miss Wilson, who was wltb her sister, Mra. OpVen tioelot. Mlsa Wilson returned from Europe only a short time ago, Mrs. Goelet remaining. Young Mr. Vanderbllt returned from Europe last April and soon after entered bla father'a ollice In the New York Con tral Railroad cornpany'e ollloea. First of the Grandsons to Marry. He will be the first grandson of the late William H. Vandorbllt to marry, though several of the granddaughters have be come brldea within the last four or five years. Mr. a. T. Wilson haa been a resident of New York since the early aevontloa, com ing here with hla family from tbe south. He has proapored far beyond the average of rloh men, and la today rated as pos sessing many millions of dollars. His children have nil married moat for tunately, end "the Wilson luck" has been a sort of byword In society. His eldest daughter, Miss May Wilson, was married about U years ago to Mr. Ogden Goejet, whoso fortune then was only prospective. The next marriage of note in tbe family occurred 13 years ago, when Mr. Wilson's eldest son, Mr. Orme Wilson, married Miss Carolina Astor, youngest daughter of Mrs. Wtlllnm Astor. A few years lator Miss Bella n llson became the wife of the Hon. Michael Henry Herbert, son of Lady Herbert of Liea, at that time seoond secre tary of the British legation In Washing ton. Mr. Horbert'a brother succeeded to the title of the Kurl of Pembroke. Mr. Wilson's youngest son, Mr. H. T. Wilaon, Jr., la unmarried. Mlaa Grace Wilson was engaged to be married to the Hon. Cecil Baring, Lord Kevelstoke son, about four years ago. This engagoment waa broken jnat after tbe great Burlng oraen. The Wilsons occupy a prominent posi tion In New York and Newport soclet. I hey bave spent their summers in New port for aeveral years, though formerly tboy were Identified with the summer col our In New Iindon. Young Vanderbllt's attachment for Mlaa Wilson waa formed In Newport, where the young persona were thrown muoh together, end It was believed by many who passed tbe summer there last year tbat tbelr engagement would be an nounced. Those who protend to know say that Cornelius, Jr., bas a fortune of a,OO0,0uu or3.000.UOO Inherited from bla grand father and collateral rolatlvca.

This point has been token bv the Kgyptlan troops, and their manner of acquitting them selves In this, the first engagement of the Nile campaign, hns given great satisfac tion to the British oflicers In command of them. The Kgyptlan forces have left Axasheh, the Kgyptlan outpost The movement was a surprise, ns It seemed to have been determined to hold Akasheh aa an out post until the hottest season Is past, and the parties arrived for the advance upon Dongola In the latter part of August or In September. The force responded promptly to orders, however, end was soon under way for this point. The distance Is 80 miles, and It took tbe whole night to ac complish the march.

I had (Jail ed on Mr. Hannn at the rooms a the McKinlcy propandaga on lower 8u ir street, Cleveland. The discuxsion had fallen on Piatt and Quay. "They are political babiea, 1 ' reiterated Mr. Hanno "mere children in polltica. Their methods show it I had been led to believe both Flatt and Quay aetute. farsighted politicians. They are noth ing of the sort. They have so far con ducted their end of this like 10-year-old children." "Only the other day," said a newspa per man, who was present, "when I was traveling in the east Piatt, discuss ing the situation, said McKinley's can- vans was in the hands ot amateurs, con ducted In an amateur way. 'We will show them,' said Piatt to me, 'before we're through that they are not contend ing with pygmies. ' " Mark Banna smiled the wide smile of one who regards a present enterprise as already a success. Hanna believes Mo Kinley has already won his fight, that to nominate him now is only a formality and that in fact everything Is over bnt the yelling. But In regard to Hanna and his Mo Kinley workshop at Cleveland. There are five spacious apartments with a mul titude of desks and a cloud of olerks. At Hanna's elbow a long distance telephone with a curve to it like unto the neck of a swan offers itself to the ear and lips of Hanna. At the other end in Canton, something like 65 miles away, is Mo Kinley. They hold frequent and long and earnest and no doubt momentous confabs, MoKinley and Mark Hanna, every day. "With Cullom down and out," Ire- marked to Hanna, "MoKinley ought to get Illinois, onghtn t he? ' "He's got it now," broke in Major Dicks, who is Hanna's chief lieutenant in his McKinley campaign. "McKin ley's about got Illinois now. He'll get the delegation. " If MoKinley hasn't got it now, " ob served Hanna, with much complacency, ' he a getting it mighty fast Yon can put that down. " I got a recent letter from ex-Senator In galls," I remarked, willing to do my share toward elevating the gayety of the crowd. ' 'Ingalls has been lecturing through Michigan, Wisconsin and Min nesota. He closed his letter by saying he regarded the contest for the St. Louis nomination as all one way and practical ly closed. "Everybody I meet, wrote Ingalls, 'is for MoKinley.' " "They are," retorted Hanna, "and the battle's all but over and won. An other week's work and It's as good Si done. McKinley will be practically nominated." "The wires tonight" said tho news paper man from the east, "tell of a de mand at Indianapolis made by the Mo Kinley men on the Harrison men, say ing that if Harrison is not formally and decisively withdrawn they, the Mo Kinley men, will force instructions for McKinley. The Harrison men, it seems, want the McKinley instructions to leave an open way for the Hoosier del egation to vote for Harrison, should he oome to some eleventh hour conclusion to let his name go into the convention. " "Harrison is ont of it and not a can didate," said Major Dicks decisively. "There's no doubt of that And such being the oase, why pretended friends of his should obstruct McKinley in In diana is more than one can see. At any rate, it is proposed to force MoKinley instructions at Indianapolis. At this point it should be understood that Mark Hanna and Major Picks are just now synonyms of MoKinley politics. What one says the other says. Mark Hanna and Major Dicks are the Siamese twins of the MoKinley boom. Mark Hanna is rotund, ruddy, rough and abrupt of manner. Major Dicks is dark. with voluminous Paderewski hair. He is pale, smooth "haven, wool footed, soft of step and oatlike. They are a great contrast, and a fine pair to hold before the draw in this game of White House winning are Mark Hanna and Major Dicks. The latter, by the way, waa Mc Kinley's state manager and chairman ot the state central committee during Mo- Kinley'g last run for governor two yean ago. "Didn't Tom Reed try to steal 111! noU?" I asked generally, "when he made Joe Cannon chief of the appropri ations committee and Hitt chief of for eign affairs?" "Yes, he did," said Major Dicks, with a smile which showed row of white teeth like unto the keyboard of a Steinway; "yes, he did, and in that connection I want to call your attention to the fact that both Cannon's and Hitt's districts have instructed for McKinley. Where Reed made his mistake was in declaring for a do nothing policy in the Republican caucus at the beginning of this oongreas. He didn't want the house to do anything. It must be quiet no tariff, no nothing. That's where Reed crippled every chance he had. The peo ple wanted something done. Tbat was no time for doing nothing. And that's when Reed killed himself. Major Dicks at this crisis looked about with a severe, searching air, aa one who dured contradiction and who was able to settle a few thing himself. "Speaking about Harrison, " I said. "General Michener, who is his political guardian ad litem and has been thee many yeara, told me that he personally knew that Harrison would not let nil name tss ased or make any try for tha nomination. "No, he won't waut it Harrison won't said Major Dicks meditatively, "What's General Michener doing in this ntuss?" I a&ked. "What's he and Blocks of Five Dudley, his partner In Waiihington, trying to bring about in the way of a nomination at tit Louis?' "Oh, they are in tha combine against McKinley, " replied Major Dicks airily, "What combine is that?" "i,litlQuay and tie, resV'.wej Major Dicks' arwrwer. "Michonw him self, I believe, professes to be for Allison." 'When will Ton be east again?" I asked Mr. Hanna, giving the overworked Major Dicks a rest "I'll nt be eaM nntil MoKlnley s nominated," said Hanna. "I shall stay here until about a week prior to the convention. Then I'll go to 8t Ixmis," It is understood that Mark Hanna Is so sure of McKinley's success that he has taken deliberate occasion to insult Piatt and Quay and others of what he calls "the combine." He wants no trades with them, and he does not propose to leave them any chance to come to McKinley's aid at the last moment and then make the clnim that they aided In his nomina tion. Hanna, should Piatt or Qnny offer his aid to McKinley, would decline It He does not want theni about, nor dors he propose to have any partners in the . glory of carrying McKinley to victory. Hanna is to have all that for himself. Meanwhile Ohio is crazy for McKinley, and the band plays on. A, H. Lewis la New York Journal. FIFTY-FOURTH CONGRESS.

How the "Stopper" Goes Hla Roondo Pick, lng Hp Unconsidered Trifles. "That man is a slopper," marked a police ofllcer to a Star writer a few mornings since, "and he and his class give us any amount of troubla If he stole, we could reach him by the law, but as he only finds, we cannot easily reach him. " In further explanation, he said: "A slopper is a man who searches through the garbage cans In the alleys in the rear of hotels, boarding houses and private houses. Some only search for spoons, knives and forks that are thrown into the garbage receptacle by careless servants, for It is a fact that there are more silver spoons and knives and forks thrown away with the gar bage than are stolen by servants, thongh the contrary is generally believed. The slopper is generally an hour or so ahead of the garbage collector, and he is often more regular and careful in his rounds than the garbage man. " 'By industry we thrive, ' as the line in the copy books used to maintain, and by industry on a good west end route, especially one which takes in a number of boarding houses or hotels, a slopper can find enough table ware to pay the expenses of hia tour. Often he makes a rich find. Very frequently he has per mission to 'slop' the can from the own ers of the houses themselves, for he tells them he is on the lookout for stray pieces of meat, etc., which he sells to those who have dogs to feed. Some stoppers are honest enough to return any silverware they may find for the dog meat privilege, but it is a terrible temptation to many, and one they can not or do not at times withstand."
