insisted that Mr. Blaine would accept the nom

Six o'clock tea ovor, tho party set out this
Toning In solemn procession to do Abbots
ford, sit In Scott's choir, see his rooms, collec

all ovor again.
At 11 o'clook to-night It Is still almost light

AuoctaHon.
London, Juno 22. Billy Porter, alias Mor
ton, etcetera, tho notorious American burglar,
who accompanied John L. Sullivan on his trip
to Europe, nnd his colleague, who has lived
under many alinsos. Including thoso ot Frank
Buck, Bailor, and Alien, wore brought up at
Bow streot pollen court this morning, on an
extradition warrant charging them with bur
glary at a jeweller' shop In Zurich. It Is
alleged that proportv of tho vnluoof 50,000
was otolen. Tim prisoners did not look at all
norvousor anxious, nnd appeared to takoan
intelligent but not jorsonal interest in the
proceedings of the court.
Buck, or Eniloy, Is of middle height, rathor
stout Ho has a reil nnd shavon faco, and his
bead is lmld ou top. with thick silver-gray
hair round tho sides. He has the general ap
poaranco ot a Icnovolout and opulent pater
familiat. Porter, although not quite so gonial looking,
is not at ull llko Bill Sykea. Ho Is of about tho
same slzo as tho other, but is younger, and ho
has dark brown hair nnd moustache. Botli
woro diossod llko respectable English citizens
silk lints, blaol. till coats, Ac.
An English detective, who know the prison
ers by fight, stato I that ho had arrestod them
in the Cnfu Monieo hist night Hoalsostatod
that both of them had houses In tho suburbs ot
London, which v ore stocked with ovory kind of
burglars' tools and with so much jowolry and
othor plunder that the police bad not yet had
time to make nn Invontory of it.
Swiss wllno-Hi's vrcie then culled, and one of
thom.au oftlclal in the Pollco Bureau of Zurich,
gave the pntllculnrH of the burglary. Ho said
that on tho night of Sunday, April 30, two
thieves entered tho opon door of a largo build
ing In tho centra of Zurich, which contains a
dwelling houso and jewcllorshop, proeoodod
upstairs, forced open tho door of a storeroom,
and descended thence through a holo which
they made In the floor into tho shop bonoatb.
From tho (shop vtimlow thoy carefully solectod
ovorythlng of tali o. principally diamonds, and
retired with tho plunder. Thoy loft behind,
howoyer, tbo handle-, or two files and a piece
of oil-cloth for vviuin-lnc up good, whloh a
shopkoeper of Augsbuig, whence tho prisoners
departed on the precoding Saturday for Mu
nich, declared he had sold to them.
The magistrate remanded them until Friday
next ordering the police to produce on that
s day an lnentory of tho things found in tho
prisoners' dwelling. Tho prisoners lottrod
with dignity and c.ilmuos.1 to the seclusion of
tholj colls.
I oallvd on Chlot Detective Shaw at Scotland
Yard to-duy. lie In a man of middle ago nnd
. hoavyfeatuios and of pretentious uiuuncr. He
fmt said it would be Impossible for Tnic Sun's eor
Bv respondent to sso Porter, but thoro was no
n j Nauestlon about the outcome of the trial.
M " Wo have got In that bufo," bo said, pointing
Kfto a thick iron box In a eornor, " noarly 1,000
wk worth of the diamonds and jewelry that Portor
stole, and wo have got htm so tight that there
f is no possibility of his escaping this time. His

To report that yesterday was hot doesn't
begin to toll hnlf the iiowh nbotit tho scorching
tonipeiattire that mndo tho wholo town seem
llko a mammoth barbacue at which tho luck
less citizen played the helpless role of tho
spitted o-e.cn. Tho stunning nnd historical
fact Is that It was tho hottost 22d of Juno that
Gotham has sweltered In in seventeen onts.
It wasn't qulto ns bad so far as tho thermome
ter told tho story as Wednesday was, but it was
a groat dual worso than any solf-rospootlug
calendnr day In Juno ought to bo. l'.ientho
clerk of tho wonthor, protoctod from Its Intor
forenoo In his sky-high oyrie on tho Equitable
roof, couldn't refrain from nbutlng it Ho got
down all his maps and rocords for a quarter ot
a contury. and, after making a prolonged In
vestigation, k'nvo to Tuk Sun reporter this
stntoment:
Juno 20, 21, and 22 of 18S3 are tho threo
hottest of all tho June days of similar date in
tho last sovontoon years. Tho temperature
01 on tho 20th, is only 3 less than tho highest
Juno tomporature on record In Now York,
which was on Juno 30, 1872, when tho tem
perature renohod 94".
The signal sorxlco thermometer, whloh
stands nearly as high in the nlr us Trinity
stoeplo, rocordod 80.6" at 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, but It was worse than that down at
Broadway nnd Park row, and n crowd
cnthnred around tho thormomotor thorn and
watched the mercury climb until at 3( It had
gone up to 00. Tho signal service man told a
visitor who had watched this performance to
choor up.
"This heat fa oxcoptlonal," ho said, "nnd
won't last longer than to.moirow. It Is dun to
a hot wave from tho West, nnd a cold wavo
from Montana Is right on its heels, and will get
hero by Sunday morning, and mnkn It cool
enough for spring ovcrconts again. Tho cool
wavo tins nlrondy struck Chicago and knocked
tho temperature down, and It will down tho
thormomotor horo too. By Sundny night you
can expect to have a temperature somowhoro
between 55 and 50. Ilnins and lowering tom
poratiiro wore reported yestordaynll through
the Wost as a result ot tho advent of tho Mon
tana cold wavo."
Tho day waa one of the greatest discomfort

CmoAao, Juno 22. This lina been n Haul
son ilny. Now York's decision In tho recess bo
twocn tho two sessions of tho Convention to
sho more than sixty ot Its sovonty-two votes
to tho Indiana man sent tho tldo In
his direction with a rush. In nn hour
nftor tho action of tho Now York
dolecntlon boenmo known it looked ns though
Harrison would bo nn easy winner, but as nil
tho candidates combined yestordnr to check
tho rising tldo for Shorman and hold him bnok,
so to-night a combination was tomporarlly
formed against Harrison, and ho, tco, has
met a chock. Whether it Is a lasting sotback
will bo dlsclosod bntwoen now and day break.
At midnight tho friends of Allison, Algor,
Qroshnm, nnd Shorman aro in conference on
denvortng to bring about an agroemont look
ing toward a successful concontrntlon uoon
some ono candidate agalnBt Harrison, until
such time as Harrison's forcos shall bo dis
solved, whon tho combine will resolve It
self Into componont parts. This Is n diffi
cult task to accomplish. Tho Sherninn mon
aro fighting desporaloly to sustain tho fast
waning fortunes of their candidate. They will
not go Into any combination that aftorward
domands the sacrtdco ot tholr candidate
Tho action of tho big dologatton from New
York had such an offeot on tho situation thnt
the Ponnsylvnnians have been filled with
tho idea of making themselves a great
factor in tho fight On Thursday
night tho PennsylvnnlnnB scomod nearly
ready to go over to Harrison In a body whon
thoy Bhould drop Sherman. Thoy lot Now
York got to tho front of tho Harrison column,
however, nnd to-night Matt Quay, ambi
tious to bo himself tho controlling powor in
tho Convention, Is disposed to placo himself
at tho head of tho Allison party. To-morrow
Allison's strongth may be eo great as
to mako him tho candidate, against whom
it will be necessary to mako tho com
bination. Harrison will go into tho
Convention to-morrow with 200 or mora bohlnd
him, and Shorman with as many moro. Thoro
will still bo loft moro than 400 votos for othor
candidates. It is anybody's fight yet
The Blalno olomont In the Convention dis
appointed everybody by its small proportions
In to-dny's ballottlng, but thoro Is 'unmlstake
ably a strong undercurrent in tho Matno
man's favor. Many of Mr. Blaine's
stnnchest adherents voted for adjournment
to-ntght to kill Harrison. This action may
have boon taken in accordance with the
policy of dolay, which is sold to
have boon agreed upon by those who want to
bring about Blaine's nomination. Tho other
possibility of tho situation is tho dark
horso. MoKlnloy's voto to-day, though
small, is significant McEinley himself is
acting a manly part doing all he can for
Sherman. Ho may prove tho GarOeld of the
situation, but it will not be his fault

Chicago, Juno 22. Miss Susan B. An
thony nnd Miss Isabella Beechor Hooker,
upon reading the platform as adopted. Issued
an address to tho Bopublican party asking Us
immodiate and serious consideration of tho
following facts:
From the foundation ot our Government
such women as Mrs. Otis Warron nnd Mrs.
John Adams of Massachusetts nnd Mrs. Cor
bln of Virginia protested against tho oxcluslon
ot women from tho rights and duties of citi
zenship. Women furnished John Adams tho
largost petitions ovor presented to Congress
when ho made his groat battle for the right of
petition. Tho Bopublican party owes Its ox
istenco to women. In 1848 Abby Kolly
laid the foundation for tho Freo Soil
party. Imp which enmo tho Bopublican
party. With "Fremont and Jessio" It
gained its tlrst victory in 1B5G, for it was a
victory, though Buchanan was soatod. In
I860 women gavo to tho country the lives and
fortunes of fathers, sons, and brothers, and
Anna Dickinson turned tho doubtful States
toward the Union. Tho work of women
during tne war needs no recounting, but their
self-abnegation In working for tbo enfran
chisement of tho negro, wbllo being them
selves disfranchised, is past history, Threo
hundred and sixty thousand women sent
Sumner n petition for tbo emancipation of
slaves. It was our womun suffrage. Icadors
who did this.
In 18C0 women began to petition Congress
for protoctlon in thair"citlzous' right to vote,"
but the great londors begged them to wait a
little longer thnt tho uogrocs might be llrst
In 18Bb It was tho sumo. In 1872 tho party plat
form said: " Tho llenubllcan party Is mindful
of its obligations to tho loyal womon of Amer
ica for tholr noblo dovotlon to the causo of
freodom: their admission to wldor fields of
usefulness Is vlawod with satisfaction, and tho
honest demand of nny class of citizens for addi
tional rights should rocclvo respectful consid
eration." Loading womon ndvocatod tho patty
cause, nnd It wns triumphant by tho Inrgest
majority that thoy over reioivod. In 1H7G
womon woro ignored. In 18"ti tho suffrage
women In every Statu In tho Union held a moot
ing, nnd 10.0U0 postal cards went received from
women not present who wished to vote, Tho
Convention wits nutillod of this desire, but Its
platform wns silent. Iu 1884 half it million
women of tho W, C. T. U, asked for
a temporanco plank, but tho counnlttoo
rejected tholr petition, mocking and spitting
upon It. This soiled petition is preserved in
tbo Chicago Historical Library. Now, in 1888.
wo woro courteously rocolved by your commit
tees ami listened to for thirty minutes, nnd
again tho platform Is silent Although the ma
jority of men who helpua In Congress are Ile
pilblicnns, yet, its forboaraneo hits ceased to be
virtuous, vvs nowcu tse to hope for justlco from
tho ltepubllcans ns a parlv nnd look to tho
Prohibitionists, who hitvo nlwnvs recognized
woman's oiiuullty with men. Yet mindful of
the past wo nsk you to so construe jour plat

to whoso personal rights nnd llbortles you

Chicago, Juno 22. Tho Convention got
down to business thla moraine. It took threo
ballots and put on record tho "confusion
worse confounded" of tho dolocntos. Chi
cago had onco again bocomo a blc Turkish
bnth. Thoro aro thousands ot mon in town
who never can think of tho city oxcept ns a
bako ovon. Tho sky wns hoavlly ovorcast, nnd
rnln foil now and thon, but apparently no I
dopthof elouds is sufficient to diminish tho
fearful hoat which is Chicago's pride and joy.
Onlywhllo tho rain poured in shoots for an
hour yostorday aftornoon has thoro beon a
rcsplto since tho Convention boKtin. Tho
delegates aro peaked, pallid, limp, and
without onercy. There are many men bitterly
opposed to Blalno who would almost wolcomo
the Blaine stampede to roloaso thorn from tho
mlsory ol tholr stay hero. But tho roador will
soo that, althouch tho Blalneltos woro still
plannlnc a hurrah, all Blalno stens failed at
tho moraine session. Tho tntonso and sulTo
catlnc boat, whloh robbed tho air of Its vitaliz
ing qualltlos soomod to tako tho onercy out ot
tho stroot paradors durlnc tho night Tho
boodlo band of Aljorinos cot up a dnmp and
limp procession, but tho main ovont was tho par
ado of tho Flambeau Club from Kansas City. It
wasasplondld exhibition. The follows woro all
in white, 'with Rllstonine helmots ot sllvor, nnd
carried Oamlna Roman candlos that loaded the
air with blazinc streams from balls of colored
flro. Men followed bohlnd thorn shooting enor
mous rockots over the procession, and tho rear
was brought up with an a nmunitlon wagon of
curious shapo. draggod by mon, and loutlcd
withllreworks. Tho unwonted uulet lod the
Buffering thousands to fancy thoy wero going
to got tt night's rest. It was utterly out of Iho
question. Tho atmosphoro of tho bedrooms
was llko the air in hermetically soalod cans.
Golngto bod was like taking a vapor bath.
Tho slocpors tossed to and fro until tho morn
ing's roOnforcomont of tho stifling hoat called
thorn from their bods.
Long bo Toro 11 o'clock, tho hour for conven
ing, tho Convention hall w as packod. Tho old
soldiors had gotten tholr tickets, and tho sulo
of them from tho nows stands in tho hotols
and tho neighboring barrooms went on with a
rush. Evorybody know that the balloting
would begin with tho day. Slany dronmod of
nn exciting starapedo, llko that four yenrs ago.
Evorybody who could got In tho big building
was In the Boats. At twenty mlnute3 paBt 11
tbo doorkeepers nt tbo platform end of
tho building woro tolling tho people
who had como late that thoro was
no chance to got Inside. Tho olToct
ot tho poculiar shapo of tho Convention
hall Is to mass tho thousands togothor, so that
from tho platform ono sooms to stand In the
bottom of a woll built of humnn bolngs. Tho
hall is tho shapo of a tall, square hat box, and
the gallorios aro so stoop thnt tho spectators in
them seem piled ono tier abovo another. There
nro gallorios In tho front and gnllerios in tho
back, nnd thoro in only a llltlo ripnco of side
wall botvroeu thorn that iloc- not beoin built up
of pooplo. Tholr white faces mado n great
mosaic llfty or sixty feet high, rising all
around the spectators who stood on
tbo floor. Tho eyo could hardly rost
upon any seotlon or single lino becauxo of tho
fluttorlne of tbe seven thousand fans tho Btllled
people carriod. Buttothogntniloiirof tbo scene
was added tho beauty of lavish coloring.
Wherever cay bunting could bo displayed or
gaudy shlolds or portraits could bo hung thoy
blazed forth. Add to this combination myilnd
jots of vlectrlo lights lu antral forms and Hying
nrclioxof llame, nnd tho roador can Imngino. at
loast faintly, how novel, how liniirossho, and
bow beautiful Is the see no which the great Con
vention presonts by day and by night. It Is
ever the same, lor daylight cannot enter that
great hot box.
It was as hot as pcppormlnt thoro this morn
ing. Tho hands of men burned when thoy
restod on a neighbor's arm. No movement ot
tho ministering nlr could bo illstliiL'tilshod.
Suffocation seemed only to bo avoided by vig
orous fanning. Tho hull do-reu tiny breaks In
tho uullnlshed walls through which tho audi
once entered woro moro than half stopjied up
with pooplo, and so woro tho two or three silts
that are tlto only suggestions of windows for
that enormous packing case of masonry. In n
very fow moments tho multitude had breathed
tho air it found thoro. Tho conso'iuouco was
frightful. Thosu who entered the building
could feel tbo nntifreoiis nlr as It touehod thilr
lungs. Mon slckeiiod in creator or lessi'o
groo win) had to ait Unit sesiuon nut, but
when one eonslilors that inn n atone or brick
of this building li.ul 1jU laid wheu tho Na
tional Committee isstiod tho Convention call,
and that even now tho hull within tho tinlln
lutied walls Is but a temporary construction,
admiration for Chicago onterprlso must blond
with apology,

Mrs. Lognn. a sable llguro In a gaudy group
of brlght-ovoti womon, lookod down from the

It was noticed that Chairman Ksteo consult

Kvery trap and trick thnt could be devisod gl
was sprung upon tho Convention to foment on -fi
ecstasy for Blalno. For Instance, a Tonnes- M
soenn arose to a question of privilege and sold: ,-.
"Asndologato from tho Stato of Tennessee, I 4J
herewith most positively Insist, in accordance '.
with my instructions, that my vote be oast for
Blalno' , . M
A Pennsylvania dologato arose angrily and "
Bald: "I submit that ho did not stato a auos- Mt
tion of prlv liege, nnd that he vlolatod the rulo W- j
of tho Convontlon." . j
Cbnlrman Hlsoock replied: " The gentleman
did not stale a question of privilege, and did
violnte tbo rules of tho Convention."
Thoro was vory slight yolllnc for Blaine. It 'A
nmountod to nothing.
