VOL. VII THE SENATE SECRET For Whom is Intended The Secret Appropriation of $250,000? rrolmlily for Gen. Grant and His Associates in Nicaragua Speculation. * The House Will Know Who Before it Agrees to the Ap propriation. ffashington Protests Against Allowing New York to Choose the Democratic* Nominee. Republicans Acknowledging That Blame Is The Man Who Cannot Carry New York. | Special Telegram to the Globe.] Washington, June 15. —Review of legis lation for the past week clearly indicates the impossibility of adjournment on June 30, even though the senate might be disposed to concur in the house resolution to disperse at that date. There are only twelve working days intervening between this and the thir tieth hist., and an immense amount of im portant and necessary business is yet in ar rears. THAT QUARTER MILLION. The Mexican war pension bill was dis cussed in the senate Monday, Tuesday and Thursday in open session, and in secret ses sion Tuesday and Wednesday without final action. AH that was accomplished last week iv the senate in the way of general legislation was the passage of the consular and diplo matic appropriation bill, to which §800,000 was added to th" amount appropriated by the house. Tins included a quarter of a million for alleged expenses attendent upon the ex ecution of the neutrality act in order to ac quire a right of way across Nicaragua for an inter-oceanic canal. To whom this money is to be paid has not been disclosed but it is an open secret that ■■•. Grant, Gen. Beale and Mr. Phelps, now minister to Peru, have been tinkering on the Nicaragua project for a number of years, and this sum is sup posed to represent an equivalent of their la bors. Capt. Phelps, formerly commis sioner of the District of Columbia and an old time associate of Gen. Grant was agent of the Niearaguan government at Washing ton up to date of his appointment as minis tor to Peru. Sevellon Brown, chief clerk of the state department married Phelps' daugh ter, and so Brown is a power behind the throne with Secretary Frelinghuysen. Min ister Partridge was once minister to Brazil Slid after his late removal from the Peruvian mission traveled to Spain, where he commit ted suicide—consequent it is alleged, upon inortilication at his displacement. There are some curious incidents con nected with the Nicaraguan business, which the house proposes to inquire into before concurring in the senate amendment ap propriating this quarter of a million. The Grant-Beale-Brown-Phelps syndicate are hos tile to the Chirique route, (for which there is now held back an unexpended appropriation Of $300,000)] and have captured the state de partment in their interest. The bottom facts will probably never be known, but members say they will ascertain who will receive the quarter of a million if appropriated and how much genuine neutrality act there is in it. DELATED BMALL BILLS. The work of the house last week in public legislation was the passage of the river and harbor bill, with the Hennepin canal appro priation .stricken out, and- part concurrence in senate amendments to the postollice ap propriation bill, increase of pay to letter car riers being the main feature. A number of private pension bills were passed, but no ac uon was taKen on large numbers ot senate bills lying on the speaker's table. The, gen- ; ate is indignant over the neglect to consider ] senate bills, public and private, which have ' been favorably reported by the house com mittees, and are on the house calendar. ' Minnesota is deeply interested in some of these measures, which could be disposed of in short order and without opposi tion, if the calendar could be worked on. The senate is so far in advance of the house it can i^Tord to go slowly. Senator Hill is anxious to call up and dis pose of his postal telegraph bill, referred from the postoffice committee. lie hopes to be able to accomplish it this week, but it is very doubtful. The bill is opposed, but whether sufficient to prevent its passage by the senate at the present session is not known. Its supporters claim it to be a much fairer bill to private telegraph companies than can ever be obtained hereafter, it pre serving their rights and privileges intact. THE SEW YORK MEN. Western Democrats evince considerable ft-i-liii ir over the proposition commonly ad vanced to bestow the presidential nomina tion upon whoever New York may indicate, and ask if this is the manner in which the Democratic candidate is to be selected, of "what use is the Chicago convention, and why not leave the whole "question to determina tion of the Saratoga convention of "Wednes day? They say the Democratic party is not quite ready for this.and yet this course might cs well be adopted if it be agreed in advance to accept the dictum of that convention whatever choice it may make. The Washington Post, which supports the tariit reform ideas of Morrison and Carlisle Bays to-day: "Of course New York is enti tled to its preferences, and the expressed Will of so large and important a state is worthy of all reasonable consideration, but it has no more right to its own preference^ than other states necessary to Democratic success. It is natural enough that the Dem ocrats of New York desire one of their own number should receive the great honor, and if Cleveland has given them an administra tion which they approve and which unites the party in his advocacy, it is creditable to them that they should use all honorable means to secure his nomination. If, also, the dele gates from other states, who have watched ' Gov. Cleveland's official course are impressed with his strength and fitness, it is eminently proper they should join the delegates from New York in the endeavor to secure the nom ination or Cleveland. But, on the other hand, those who prefer Bayard, McDonald, Field, Carlisle, Morrison or some other can didate and honestly believe in the success of their choice, have just as much right to have and assert preferences as the friends of Cleveland, and they have an equal right to do so 'in the convention with the view ' of securing the nomination of the men they prefer. If the balloting proves that the necessary majority of the convention prefers any one to those last named candidates, then most assuredly New York will go to the support of such can didate just as cheerfully as the friends of the other candidates will go to the Democratic governor __ of " New . York if it shall appear that a sufficient number of delegates from all the states pre fer him. To determine that matter is exact ly what the National convention is for." ■ ; THE CONTRAST. * , It is a fact which cannot escape public attention that the Republican members are much dispirited over the political situation, while the Democrats are correspondingly en couraged. This was particularly observable yesterday in the house, and even the most hopeful Republicans expressed grave doubts of Biai.Ws ability to carry New • York and thought they must look elsewhere for Repub lican gains. ■':.;!-.'-• 1 BUSINESS TENDING IN CONGRESS. . ■ [Western Associated Press.] Washington-, June 15.—1n the house to morrow after the usual Monday call of states and territories for the introduction of bills, it will be in order for the committees .to move to suspend the rules for the immediate passage of selected bills, one from each com mittee or- assignment of special days for their consideration. The committee on banking and currency is first on the list, and will ask the house to set apart a special day for the discussion of the McPherson pending bill, and the Diugley bill, which provides for the investment of the bank note re demption fund in government bonds, aud other redemption funds in government bonds. Other committees will offer motions as follows: , Commerce— fix a day for the consider ation of any or all bills reported from the committee. Agriculture— the passage of a bill to make the commissioner of agriculture a cabinet officer. Foreign Affairs fix a day for the con sideration of its business. Military Affairs —For the passage of a bill providing for loan of common tents, etc., to military organizations. The unfinished business at the adjourn mentof yesterday was a bill to compel land grant railroads to pay the cost of surveying aud patenting the lands. It is therefore en titled to come up as regular order on Tues day, but the question of consideration will undoubtedly be raised against it by members in charge of the various other bills, which have been made special orders for that day. : The bill providing for the forfeiture of the "Backbone," Louisiana railroad land grant is special order for Tuesday, immediately af ter reading the Journal. The same day, also, has been set apart for the consideration of the bill to prohibit the importation of con contract labor. '; ;■.:"'. .' •■•: A measure to regulate the presidential count is'also unfinished business, and its friends will try an/1 secure its consideration day after day until it shall be finally disposed of. ';:A'-■.-■: The senate bill to provide accommoda tions for the national library, and the house bill to amend the Thunnan sinking fund act. are also special deferred orders, and either of them may secure enough votes for the consideration this week. •. The general deficiency appropriation bill, however, awaits action on the house calen dar and is likely to push aside any other measure when the appropriate committee shall insist upon it. ?JV" ; ( " Mr. Randall hopes to be able to report the sundry civil bill this week, and it will be called up for consideration as soon as possi ble after the passage of the-appropriation bill. - ./ •:. The army appropriation bill will be reported to thu senate from the committee on appro priations to-morrow, and probably will be taken up and passed Tuesday or Wednes day. The legislative appropriation bill will prob ably be reported to the senate on Wednesday or Thursday but may not be called up for discussion before next week. Beyond this the course of legislation in 'the senate cannot be predicted. The Utah bill, which owing to the absence or Senator Hoar, was not taken up during last week, remains as regular unfinished business on the calendar. • The Mexican pension bill, however, which was discussed nearly all last week, has not been disposed of, aud having by reason of some^of its proposed amendments become a semi-political measure, the time and man ner of its final disposal are uncertain. Aside from the progress made by the senate com mittee on appropriations with the . arinv and legislative bill, and the concurrence ot the house in a few senate amendments to the postoffice appropriation bill and the return of that measure to the senate with a request for further conference, the condition of the annual appropriation bill remains th c same as in last week's forecast. An Irish Editor's Opinion. Glasgow, June 15. —Win. O'Brien, a member of the parliament for Mallow, and editor of United Ireland, in addressing a largely attended meeting of Irishmen at Glasgow to-day, on the subject of "The Modern Irish Members of the House of Com mons," said: "The Irish party would get nothing by conciliation to gain its end. It must be determined— parliament resembles purgatory, being a state of punishment taro'.igh which the Irish nationalist must pass for the purpose of learning earthly paradise, Irish national independence. [Applause]. The bloody defeat of the British army abroad troubles the government less than a defeat in parliament, which imperilled their own power, comfort and splendid spoil of office The Irish members were independent, be cause they had their country at their back." A resolution was adopted by the meeting ex pressing confidence in the Irish members of the house of commons, and pledging to strengthen the party at the nest general election. Gladstone Expects to go out of Office- London, June 15. —Sir Charles Dilkes' paper, the weekly Desjxilch, says Gladstone, in frankly conversing with one of his warm est supporters, declared he expected to be out of office in a few days. The Besjxtich urges Gladstone, if defeated on the Egyptian policy, not to resign, but carry the franchise bill to the house of lords and then dissolve parliament and appeal to the country on the general policy of the government. The ministerial statement on the programme for the Egyptian conference will be withheld until a response is received from the powers to Granville's note in relation to the con ference. Agents throughout the country are preparing for an election contest. A Royal Marriage. St. Petersburg, June 15.—The marriage of Princess Elizabeth, of Hesse, and Grand Duke Sergins, of Russia, was solemnized in the chapel at Winter Palace to-day, with the customary pomp. Two services performed, first in accordance with the orthodox ritual, and second according to the Lutheran rites. At the conclusion of the services a salute of 101 guns was fired in honor of the newly wadded couple. A state banquet was given in the afternoon, at which toasts were offered in honor of the czar and czarina, the bride and bridegroom and the Grand Duke Hesse. In the evening there was a grand ball. All festivities-were on a scale of unusual mag nificence. Oil Works on Fire. New York, June 15.—Two tanks in the oil works of Love & Fleming,at Green Point, burned to-day. The sheds and docks of the company also burned. Loss 850,000. In surance unknown. Orangemen Demonstration. Belfast, June 15.—There was a monster meeting of Orangemen in Belfast yesterday. Threatening resolutions were adopted against the lord , lieutenant of Ireland, should he carry out his luWution to visit Belfast. SUNDAY SLUGGING. The Mellin-Keefe Prize Fight With Three-Ounce Gloves. Attended Almost Exclusively hy the Sporting Men of Minneapolis. i .« A Pretty Hard Figfht in Which Melliu is Most Severely Punished, But Keefe Breaks Ligaments of His Eight Hand Early in the Fight, And On That Account Gives Up at Last. The Crowd All Against lliiu. [From the Minneapolis Department.] The first prize light iv the state of Minne sota occurred yesterday, and it was a hard foughtantl intensely exciting contest. It was the much talked of Keefc-Mellin mill and was won by the latter in fourteen four minute* rounds, Marquis of Queensbury rules, with three ounce boxing gloves. The party which witnessed the encounter left the Manitoba depot on a Minneapolis & St. Louis excursion train at 9:20 yesterday inornins, going out on the branch line past Lake Minnetonka, to Young America town ship, in Wright county. The train consisted of two coaches, which were tilled to more than their seating capacity. It is estimated that the attendance aggregated 150 people. It was a most pleasurable trip out, passing through heavy oak woods, poplar groves, over rolling prairie, and past num berless pretty lakes, including Minnetonka. The day was beautiful and the. cheerful sun shine contributed in no slight degree to the pleasurable excursion through the most pic turesque section of the state. The corn and wheat fields looked fresh and 'vigorous. To one not acquainted with the facts, the ap pearances, the exuberant suirit of the excur sionists, nor any of the conceivable condi tions, would have conveyed any idea of the mission. It was an orderly crowd. In fact, it was principally made up of citizens who had never witnessed a genuine pugilistic en counteV, governed by regular rules, and who were mainly led to attend through curiosity and through the novelty afforded in the at traction. The people did not in any wise savor of the bummer element. This is prob ably partially owing to the impression which had gained prevalence that the light would be a hippodrome, and run in the interest of the nianegement purely as a speculation. But the results will bear out the as sertion that the mill was in dead earnest, each pugilist being bent upon deter mining who is the best man. This also doubtless accounts for the absence of the sporting fraternity of St. Paul and other points, as well as the limited attendance from Minneapolis. The following card from the mayor also had the effect to frighten the timid into going to church ' instead of the light: "Minneapolis, Minn., June H, ISS4. — John West, Esq., Chief of Police—Sir: I am informed that arrangements are made, or being made, in this city for a prize fight to "come off in the vicinity of Minneapolis. I wish you to ascertain, if possible, when such light is to take place, and, if in this city, to prevent it and arrest ali parties concerned in it. If in the county of Hennepin to notify the sheriff of the time and place, and if out of the city and county of Hennepin, the sheriff of the county where such prize fight is to take place. I wish you to use your ut most endeavors to prevent so disgraceful an affair from taking place anywhere. Yours truly, GiiOHpE A. Pillsbuhy, Mayor." The above, it is considered was promulga ted more for effect than to circumvent the event. At all events that was the freely ex pressed opinion oi all who were on the train. A surgeon had been secured to dress any n-ounds that might be kiilieted in the con test. TAKING THE lIITTEKS OX. Jack Keefe h:ul gone out in company with liis trainer, P. MeNamara,to Hopkins station the previous night, and Patsy Mellin had gone on to Excelsior, with McMeebnn, his trainer. Arriving at the former place Keefe and McNamara got aboard. Kecfe was cheerful, and related his trials and troubles in securing lodgings at the provincial village, stilting that he had walked nearly live miles from house to house on Saturday night before finding hospitality. At Excelsior the others stepped on the train and away the party flew. Both seemed in excellent spirits and imbued with a remarka ble amount o£ confidence. They chatted freely with their friends, one seated in one end of the coach and the other in the oppo site end. They looked upon the fight merely in a business point of view. They wanted the money and to ascer tain who was the best man. The last few miles Keefe whistled and sang merrily as he sat leaning back in his seat. Pies, sandwiches and lemonade was served ut frequent intervals and comprised the re freshments of the trip. TIIE GROUNDS. The spot selected for the mill was a point in the oak groje just equi-distaut from Wa conia and Young America stations some thirty-seven miles from the city. The ground was level and shady, all brush and grass was quickly and quietly removed, and the ropes were stretched to trees which happened to be located at the right distances from each other to form the four corners of the prize ring. The rope which the seconds had provided not being of sufficient length the bell rope of the train was brought into requisition to splice out. The trainers lost no time, but at once began the work of getting their men in readiness. Keefe wore white trunks and black stockings, and Mellin wore pink trunks and red stock ings. Pails of water were brought from the train and the seat cushions were placed in the corners of the rings for resting seats for the pugilists during the single minutes which should intervene between the rounds. THE SECONDS. Keefe's seconds were Prof. John Donald son and P. McNainara, and Mellin's seconds were McMahon and Jerry Murphy. The lat ter was the only second who appeared in full ring costume, the others being in shirt sleeves. Mellin was first to ap pear at the ropes. Donaldson and McMaban then stepped into the ring and tossed for choice of corners. The for mer won and selected the north corner, leav ing Mellin the south corner. PRELIMINARIES SETTLED. Donaldson —"Who do you want for ref eree!" HcMahan —"We want a fair man and •will takeDuplessis." Interested citizens in loud voice—"Tea, let Duplessis he the referee. He is the only man on the grounds who can do it." Donaldson —"So far as lam concerned I have no objections, but owing to the difficulty between Keefe and Duplessis at Market hall I do not think he would be an unprejudiced man, Therefore we mast object to him. You know ST. PAUL, MINN., MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 16, 1884. yourself that that wouldn't be giving Keefe a fair deal." After a short talk it was decided to appoint James Callaghan, of St. Louis, as referee, and Col. Brand, of Philadelphia, as time keeper. THE FIGHT. Keefe stepped reliantly into the ring and quietly seated himself in his corner. McMahon—"Take those spikes out of Keefe's shoes. This is Marquis of Queens bury rules, and 6pikes are not allowed." Keefe—"You fellows are getting very pre cise." The shoes were exchanged for plain calf gaiters. FIKST ROUND. The referee, having taken his station In the ring, introduced the principals and the seconds, and the conventional hand shaking followed. Time was called, and both men stepped resolutely to the center. A few feints were made, and each let fly a right hander at about the same instant, both of which were neatly caught. A little cautious boxiug, and Mellin delivered a body blow and ducked, when Keefe caught him with a stinging blow in the forehead which stagger ed him. They clinched, and then broke at the command of the referee. This was followed by more cautious an clever sparring, when both did heavy batting, but without much effect. The round closed amid applause, neither suffering punishment. Interested anil excited spectator from the rear of Mellin's comer —''who wants to bet 810!" McNamara—"l do." Referee—"l cannot allow any second to bet. It's against the rules." The money was then slipped into the hand 3of a bystander and the bet was made. SECOND ROUND. The pugilists came up smilling for the second round. Keefe let fly a heavy right bander and Mellin countered with his left. Then came a number of short arm blows followed by scientific sparring. Mellin stood low while Keefe 6trided erect. Keefe struck a body blow and Mellin's second and the crowd shouted "foul." The referee decided the blow fair, and fighting was resumed. A well directed left hander cut Keefe's lip on a projecting tooth and the people cheered and cried out "first blood for Mellin ! Oh, yes you will have a walkaway—in yonr mind," etc. Almost at the same instant a heavy right hand blow brought the claret from Mellin's nostrils and all was hushed up again. This plainly showed that the unanimous sympathy was with Mellin, the Minneapolis man. Keefe then forced the fight and struck out with both hands, placing Mellin on the defensive, until time was called. Blood flowed freely as the two seated themselves. FIUST KNOCK DOWN. Third round —The blood washed off Keefe came up to the scratch with no indication of injury, but Mellin looked a little the worse for the fight. His lips were badly swollen, and his nose still bled. Mellin gets in a hard body hit, and Keefe continued with his left, followed by a terrific right handed blow direct from the shoulder and squarely in the chin, sending his antagonist to grass with his heels in the air. The crowd called out for Mellin to rest the ten seconds allowed on a fall. Very few blows wore delivered before tim" was called and they were nearly evenly <si vided. Keefe was bleeding at the lip again as he took his seat, but he was decidedly io favor. FOURTH ROUND. After sponging off both men came to time in apparent good condition. The round opened slowly and cautiously. Keefe deliv ered a heavy bat in the body and Mellin countered on the cheek staggering Keefe. Keel'e then let fly a shoulder hit in the right eye nearly sending Mellin to the "round again, but he recovered and retaliated with a stinging body bat. Quick but not very hard blows followed and aga n the blood flowed from Keefe's lip and from Mellin's lip and nose. Both seemed to be loosiug strength and took their scats badly "blowed." FIFTH ROUND. Mellin got in the first bat in this round and both clinched breaking, Keefe delivered a telling body blow with his left nearly tak ing his man off bis pins. He seemed to be unable to use his right with much force. Afterwards it proved that the ligaments in the back of the hand had been broken by the terrible blow which he had dealt in the round when Mellin was knocked down. From this time forth his hard hitting was done with the left. His wind also seemed to be failing, and Mellin gave him several rights and lefts direct in the face. The round was ended without dis play of skill, and Mellin seemed somewhat in the best form. SIXTH ROUND. '■>»■'■ i They opened rather logy, with cautious sparring. Mellin finally forced the fight and coming into close quarters, they clinched. Not breaking promptly at the command,Mel lin's referees grew excited and yelled"foul." They broke and Kcefe with a broad smile on his . face sent out another left hander which astonished Mellin, who retained his equillbrim with difficulty. The round closed without further event,Keefe having the best of it. . SEVENTH ROUND. The pugilists came up for heavy fighting, Mellin having been instructed by his seconds to force the fight. Science was at a discount. Slugging, bif', bang, took precedence. The blows rained fast and furious and both were bespattered with gore. Keefe did effective business with his left, but the lighting was principally in his corner. Mellin let fly. a right, hitting in the face and countered with a body blow with his right, staggering his foe. Twice the left hand got :iu its work, and then Keefe was crowded against the ropes, Mellin falling into his face. ~ Both clinched and Mellin's seconds again- de manded the fight upon an alleged foul, claim ing that Keefe had used his teeth on Mellin's proboscis, but the referee decided adversely,, and the fight was renewed, but the entire crowd was yelling like wild men, claiming that Mellin had won the fight." . ;. EIGHTH ROUND. They again came up for hard fighting. Mellin got jin some repeaters hard in ; the face and again Keefe was driven to the ropes, where he 'delivered an' effective left hander, sending • Mellin staggering to the center of the ring. This move ment was v supplemented by cautious sparring. Keefe struck three light ; right hand blows full in the face but to no effect. Patsy retaliated with his right, when Keefe let drive a powerful left hander and ; Mellin staggered, slipped and fell. After ten sec onds allowed, they went at it again. It was heavy slugging, Keefe getting the best of it. It was a hard fought round, one of the ' hard est of the battle. - • SIXTH ROUND. They seemed to have gained second wind and came up tolerably fresh. j They took it cooly and slugged cautiously. -■■ Mel lin .'got- in. left .handed counters and an under cut, followed by a heavy body blow. [ Keefe then forced the tight and the excitement was intense. One man wanted to jump into the ring to . assist j Mellin, but was held. Another foul was claimed and al lowed, but the fight was to- the finish. The seconds were then ordered out of the ring by the referee. ' : ;-; ; ._, * TENTH ROUND. . Each of the contestants waited for the other to begin the fight and a full minute was consumed in fooling. Finally Keefe let himself loose . and Mellin • was •' forced '; •to the ground, j After ten seconds jhe got Jup and they clinched. . Again shouts and yells of foul. Keefe struck hard and fast with his left and Mellin was getting the > worst of ,it his seconds grew excited and springing into the ring, but were ordered out. i.*-'. *, ■— ■' • -'; ■■■;■. ELEVENTH. ROUND/-: ' : : .-.'.■; ... \ , Keefe let drive a left hander at the start of tlils round when they again clinched. Mel lin ducked and Keefe game him a sockdol agsr in the hody with his left forcing Mellin into his corner and Into his seat. Kecfe followed the vantage but Mellin's second sprang into the ring again amid terrific yells of foul and forced Keefe away. TWELFTH HOUND. This opened with heavy fightine. Mellin was again knocked down by Keefe's left. After the ten seconds he got up, bleeding profusely, and resumed the desperate strug gle clinching, the cry of "foul" was set up again, the direst confusion prevailed and the seconds were again in the ring. Everybody was beside himself with excitement. THIRTEENTH HOUND. Mullin delivered a heavy body blow and forced the fight amid the most terrific yelling. Keefo rallied and forced Mellin into his corner and it looked as though the contest was his, but Mellin rallied, only to be again driven back to his corner. The intensity of the excitement increased, it was at fever heat, everybody seemed to claim a foul and the referee, after considering, allowed it. FOURTEENTH AND LAST. Patsy came up in good wind and forced the fight with desperation, forcing Keefe to the ropes and finally knocking him down. Keefe then said, "No use my trying to fight, my hand is played out." This ended the fight, and the people carried Mellin from the ring upon their shoulders, cheering lustily, after the two contestants had shaken hands. Mellin's condition was rather worse than Keefe, he having suffered the most punish ment aside from Keefe's broken hand. The party returned to Minneapolis, arriv ing at a little past five. tammanTtalks. Demands Equal Eepresentation With the Comity De mocracy. Claims Four Hundred and Sixty of the Saratoga Delegates. Senator Grady Tells What Sort of Candidate Tammany Wants. | Special Telezram to the Globe. | New York, June 15.—The question of who will be Mr. Tilden's successor in the Democratic party is growing more complicat ed and less certain daily. Yesterday Gov. Cleveland was more talked of than he has been to-day. The statesmen of the party are growing exceedingly non-committal. Like Congressmen Dorsheimer and Fauk Hurd, of Ohio, who are in town to-day, they content themselves with declaring that there is plenty of real good Democratic timber from which to choose a standard bearer and much depends upon a good frank, manly platform. These two statesmen are certain that the tariff must be one of the issues, but Dorsheimer thinks the platform of IS7O puts the question in about the right light. The leaders iv the state are working hard preparatory to the Saratoga convention next week. The King's county delecates are as yet uncommitted. Bos 6 McLaughlin will go with the delegation, which will be controlled largely by him and by Senator Jacobs. It is understood that the plan is to postpone to Chicago any fight as to •an lid-iteS* and if possible to send an un pledged and uninstructed delegation there, under the theory that a choice that will be best for the party can be made to better advantage three weeks hence. Gen. Slocum has many friends in the Kings coun ty delegation who, if the race seems to be for state candidates will be inclined to press his name as strongly as the friends of Gov. Cleveland press their favorite. Senator Jacobs says that the Kings county delegates will not be solid for Cleveland. Some of the ltaaers in the state will work hard to have the choice made at Saratoga and to have the Chicago delegates vote as one man. There will be a fight at Saratoga, on this, without much doubt. TnE TAMMANY DEMOCRACY last night gave notice to the state convention ! that they must have equal representation in me cuuicuuaii wiiu me county ufcmocracy. The lion. John Kelly on calling the commit tee on organization to order, said: "Either we belong to the Democratic party or we do not. I My adyice is that you maintain your position with the courage and firmness char acteristic of an American citizen. We want a united party and we want to elect a Demo cratic president. . This organization should be admitted on e"qual terms with , our Democratic associates in this city." The districts were then called and it was found that 460 Tammany men would go to the state convention. Senator Grady then took the floor. '"*i".",.,-' >*\ i' : "The time for sacrifice has passed," he said, "We must either march side by side with the county Democracy or accept a re fusal of equal representation as a declaration of war.. [Applause.] There can be no united front this year unless Tammany has vote for vote in the convention '. with the county de mocracy. . Tammany should see to it that a man is ... nominated for president who will :'• recognize this organization's claims after ' he is elected. We don't want a man nominated because he is calculated to do the least harm to the bet ter element of the Republican party and to political dudes generally. [Applause.] The Republican papers, who did not have their own way at Chicago in June, are seeking to have.it at Chicago . in . July. I for one want the man who is to beat James G. Blame to be a better Democrat than James G. Blaiue himself is. We can live through four . years more of . hostile administration, but we can not be - smothered by . an . administration which will be only professedly Democratic." The room rang with applause when Mr. Grady concluded. . " , ■ Moody in London. London, June 15.—Four services were held to-day in the Temple gardens.' Moody preached at the first service. Subject: !
