nou'd tluit the House take a recess
until 11 o'clock to-morrow, and on that
motion the yens anil nays wcro ordered.
-1:10 p. in. While Mr. Wilson is for
Washington, lip is against Chicago.
Ills motion means the field against
Iho latter-named city. If It carries It
will bo a blow nt that city, aud It will
indicate a combination against Chi
cago. Ckicngoans, however, arc jubi
lant and say that they cannot lie beaten
now ; that nothing can keep them from
securing tho few votes they need to
capture tho prize.
,1 p. m. Tho House has refused to
tnke a recess yeas 138, nays 17-1,
S-.03 p, m. The defeat of the recess
is favorable to Chicago; the New
Yorkers delnycd making tho mo
tion too long. They should
have made it nt the end of
third ballot. It is believed Chicago
will win on the seventh ballot, which
Is now progressing.
5:10 p. m. The roll-call on the sev
enth ballot has reached tho letter "W."
From the galleiies it appears that Chi
cago has made a gain of four votes and
New York 1. Chicago needed eight
votes.

The curtain rang up at noon to a very
crowded house. The interest In tlio
"World's Fair" drama has grown im
mensely since the opening scenes of
last Thursday. The galleries begnu to
fill at an early hour, tho great public
i gaery for gentlemen filling up long
before the hour of 12, tho whlto con
tingent quite crowding tho colored out.
Tlio other galleries filled up more
slowly, thoso to which admission Is
had by card being the last.
Tlio scenes on the floor befotc tho
Speaker appeared and rapped for order

of lloprcscntirtlves resembled the hall
of a great natlonol convention with tho
Presidency of lho nation at stake. In

(liutlp of thu 1'iRllt,
When the play opened to-day the
situation was about as follows: New
York was prowling n round with a big
sand-bag awaiting a chance "to
slug lie life out of ilu Chi
cago bloke; Bee" Chicago, in
truo Wcstcin, style had a brace of
revolvers nttachcil to a cartridge belt
strapped around, aud was ready to "fan
a hammer" for the honor and glory,
to say nothing of the profit, of
the Lnkc City. St. Louis, with
ii big bowio knife up her
sleeve, was after Chicago
Washington sat quietly looking on,
hoping the rivals would kill eaoirother
nlf arid that the privc would full into
her lap.
When the Speaker nppearod on the
floor, just before ascending to his cliatr,
he was asked if thero would be any
dilaloiy motions. "I do not think
there will be any," he said. Thete
were none.
Mr, Mills of Texas, who leads the
opposition in tlio House lo any fair at
nil, was asked when he would miko
lho motion to lay on the table, which it
wns reported he would make before
the voting began, if possible. "I
have no intention of making nuy such
motion," said Mr. Mills. '! have had
no sufch intention. I do not see how
tlio report got into ihe papers. It is
well known that I am Opposed
to holding any fair, and I
want only to go on record. If
the House wants to pass a World's Fair
bill all light; let it have au opportu
nity to do'so. I may make such a mo
tion lato.iu lho fight."
AJNwvi ork Congiem'in said that '
if New York City didn't get tlio fair I
it would bo Now York's own fault: sho
had dilly-dallied about the matter
until a number of Representatives, who
otherwise would have supported her,
got disgusted and quit her for Chicngo.
Politics had been Injected into tho mat
ter in New York, he said, and the
result was that everyone thought New
i ork was nut ot the race. "Ann sue
was, practically," ho added, "until the
big delegations canic hero lust week
and seized her by the scruff oT tho
neck and yanked her back onto the
track."
"Somebody," remarked Mr. Depew j
to a Republican Congressman, "has j
given- out the idea that we" ;
(hero Mr. Depcw touched himself
on the breai-t and looked at '
the Republican Congressman signifl- !
cantly) "nic responsible for New York's
not getting something she was entitled i
to. If New Yoik doesn't get tlio
fair it will bo nn issuo ,
in the next election. Every man I
who has lost money in buincs will '
blame it on the loss of the fair. We i
will have to explain why we didn't get j
it. We will havo to explain this to every j
man out of work; to every hungry and I
rugged voter, and I assure you that It
will bo dlilleult to make a satisfactory
explanation," said the great after-dinner
orator.
Mr. Skinner of Noith Carolina, sit
isflcd that Cumbcrlnud Unp stood no
ienl chance, voted on the second
ballot for tt ashington.
AVhllo tho Clerk, during the second
ballot, wns calling ovor the names of
those who failed to respond on Hie first
call, that proceeding was interrupted
by lho Secretary of the Senate, who
came in with n big batch of bills which
had passed tho Senate. Ho read the list
by titlo and then tlio Clerk finished
h'i call ami the Speaker announced the
result. "No city having received a
majority of all tho votes cast, tho ,
Cicik will call the roll." "Mr. Ab
bott," called the Clerk. "Mr. Speaker."
was shouted In a dlscotdaut voice. It
was Mr. Rogers of Arkansas, and
ho complnlued that tho noise was so
great that he could not hear tlio titles
of tho bills as they were read by tlio
Senate Clerk. It was an Inopportune
moment for such nu interruption, so '
when the Speaker said: "The gen- '
tlcmon of the Ilouo will please
heed the appeal of the gcntlcmau from
Arknnsnw," with n heavy, sarcastic In
flection on tho "saw." F.vorybody cn
ioyed Mr. Rogers' Utile discomfiture.
Tfio ballot then proceeded.
The St. Louis delegation was growl
ing becauso Messrs. Stewart and Ab
bott of Texas voted for Washington
on tho first ballot. Tlioy were pledged
to St. Louis. They explained
their vote by baying that
the St, Louis Republic, "whose editor Is
nt the head of tho St. Louis committee,
hail abused them for voting against tho
appointment of a special commitleo and
that they wished to show their resent
ment by voting against St. Louis.

sho began, thu ladies who hae been

Since tho programmes were printed
the ladles had changed their minds,
aud decided that Matilda Josiyn Gage s
opening address, instead of being tho
last featuro of the morning bosslou,
should bo Ihe first, so after Sccrotary
Aldrich finished reading tho let
ters Mrs. Cage surrendeied tho
chair lo Mrs. ,locihino Cables Aldrich
of Alabama, a handsome, matronly
lady in n brown figured wiap. She
kept her hat on, ns did, In fact, all tho
ladles on the stngo snvo Mrs, Cage, llev.

the young poetess, and Mr. Aldrlcli's
little daughter. Yoltnirin Do Cleyro
w as the youngest aud prettiest of the
ladles on tho platform. Sho wears big
Kund-edgcd spectacles that gave her
pretly oval face an oddly studious look.
Mrs. Aldrich introduced Mrs, Cage
by saying that;s"ue needed no introduc
lion nnd the picsidcnt begun her ml-
dress. Upward of an hour was re- ,
iiulu.il for lis delivery. In it rIio told ,
foicibly nnd plnlnly ot tho Influences
and relations of Church and Stale ns lo ,
woman's condition and prospects. She '
said woman hnil more to fear from the ;
Churrh than from ihe Slate. Through !
out the adducH, which was very com
prehensive. 3Irs. Gage held the Chinch
n sponsible, in n great measure, for Iho
continued political Inferiority of
woman. Shu also condemned n grow
lug tendency to tako Hie rile of nmr
ilage from Ihe civil authorities nnd put
it in the hands of ecclesiastical 1111
thoillics entirely. She reviewed, loo.
the awful lcsulls of oppression shown
by France's history. Shu slid
that thu atheism of Hie Flench Is one
almost entirely a lcliglon'to Itself, 11s 11
result or a corrupt priesthood. Church
opjircsslt.il she cliariicteri.es as the
most imminent danger of (lie cause ami
said that she meant not only Citho
licily, but all church influence which
awlgns to woman a subordinate
place. Incidentally, ns illustrating ti
tendency toward the ininglini of re
ligion with affairs of Stale, President
Gn.c read the Rreckinrldge Sunday
Rest bill. Drnll's revolution, she said,
was also due lo this same cenlrali.atloii
of power. Tlie condition of things, she
said, which led lo the revolution was
almost paiallelcd hero liy the i'resl
denl's power to appoint something like
sixty thousand public olllcers. Tlie
clouds of oppression thai broke n way
fiom over ilrazll and Mexico were
gathering ns thickly elsewhere. Aggres
sion must, she said, be Hie watchword.
This country is to bo theballlc-groiind
of the great contest for woman's release
from her pielilstoiic thraldom. "Ag
gicsslon must bo our watchword," sile
concluded.
Then Secretary Aldrich aiiiioiiiu-cd

At the meeting of the executive
board ot the convention last night n
series of resolutions were adapted.
They will be read at tlie public meeting
to-morrow morning for approval",
though lliey are' already finally
adopted by the executive board.
The committee on resolution is com
posed of Dr. Klliott Cones, chairman;
Mrs. Clnin Foil., California: Mrs. .1. C.
Cables, Alabama; Miss Kaiigh, Vir
ginia; Miss Nixon, Connecticut, and
Dr. Conant of this city. The resolu
tions are as follow".
Jlcfiilml, That It Is essonthil to ttic life or
thu republic that the purely civil char.u-.ter
of thu Government be maintained, and I hut
Church and Slate liu forever kept t-epur.itc;
tlmt the legal foundation of our Government
Is not any creed of Christendom, nor any

Church, hut is simply tl'iu con-cut of the
governed; that tho State bus not grovi 11 out
of the Church, hut, should outgrow the need
of any Chinch, and bo tbcncefoilli forever
Independent of the Church.
'csoifrf, That according to the ptlnel
ples of the Government of the I'nitcd

L'lVll IK

religions scntluien'M and, therefore, any
amendment to the Constitution proposed
by tho socalltd-Chiistlan partv In polities
Is destructive or existing civil liberty uud
religions toleration, mid should lie ener
getically opposed.
Hi rolml, That the centralization of
power, whether In the Church or In the
State, is dangerous to civil ltlierty and lo
individual right., ami therefore all at
tempts to ccntiallzc power, cither In
Church or State, must be continually and
firmly opposed.
lirtolmt, That the efforts now made by
tho Christian party to tiring religion
into politics, lu order to place a
religious aiiicudmciit in tho Consti

rishted, because the success of such cITorts

Hetfilial, That the real endeavor or tho
Clillstian pait.i In politics Is to establish u
papacy In place or the piesont secular

that a papacy docs not only mean u Pope's
one-man power In the Church, or claim ot
papal infallibility, or an Immoral prctcuo
of power to bind or loo-e sins, or the
saving of muss, or the Use ot holy

woman by tho Christian Church havo been

Theic has been a gathering of the
Hoosior clans in this city for
some (layn pnM. They rallied in
such foicc as to set tlio town
to talking. Plr.st came Governor
Alvin P. Ilovey. The good old Gov
ernor was here looking after his service
pension scheme of a cent a day and his
little boomlct for lire Vice-Presidency.
The occasion of his visit was plain and
not calculated to disturb anyone except.
I those Congressmen who disagreed with
him, nnd with them he would persist iu
! arguing and showing nil Ills papers.
Hut when tlie State ollleers begnu to
I come iu, headed by tlie tall form of
, Attorney General I,. T. Mlohetier.chalr

; also, tho Interest became little hliort of
I excruciating. Indiiiniatis here began
to wonder what was In become of thu
J Hoosicr Stale with all the olllciuls out
j of the way. At lalcst advices, how
' ever, the Stulo wns safe.
Tlie question, Why ate they here! Is
answered liy a reference to the fact that
I bids fur the control of tlie seal-fur busl
i diss in the llehilng Sen wcro opened
' last week. Among these bids wcro No.

ntial lenlal of $.hi,()00, pay for subsist
1 encc of unlives, and to pay in addition
1 In tlie tn of 2 per skin a bonus of
: $U.12t tm each skin. Tills was simply
an average Iml and would call for nu
particular comment weic it not for thu
icmtirkalilu fact that behind it is the
Iloo.sicr crowd not nil Die crowd, but
enough of them lo make a very prollv
story.
The Indiana men interested In the
foregoing bid are L. '1'. Michener. At

nnd when Harrison was nominated, he
betook himself lo ids Iloosier liotneand
did some lively hustling for the Re

that it is his knowledge of theseal fisher

to bid No. S.
Of course, this crowd of lloosieis

justify their'bidding for this vast privi

matter of business. They expected to

though they "wanted In," they were

ever since, but, perhaps, when they

will not be so awfullv sorry ut being

i As to whether Private Secretary K.
Vv. llalford is in tho scheme or not
opinions differ. A consensus leaves
the matter nbout thus.
He is in if it wins and out if it fails.
In oilier words, that he has nn interest,
but so guarded that he aud all the rest
can swear he hasn't nnd tell the literal

in the event of bid No. S being ac
