T1IE GALVESTON DAILY NEWS. FRIDAY-, JUNE 15,
national convention took place just before
noon to-day, when the members of the no-
tional committee assembled in tilth1 head-
quarters to settle all preliminaries. Hon.
H. f\ Jones, chairman of the committee,
presided, with General \V. Ij. Alexander of
Iowa acting as sergeant-at-arms; Samuel
Fesseude.i of Connecticut as secretary, as-
sisted by Carson l.ako of New York.
Twenty-eight states were represented by
or by proxy. J lie
ings opened by Mr. Clarkson. on be-
half of the sub-committee of arrangements,
making a report concerning the plan of
seating that had been adopted. The allot
ment of 200 more tickets to Chicago than
tho original <00 proposed, was the subject
of debate. As a result the number of tick-
ets for local distribution was decreased, be-
ing restricted from a total of 000 to 860, ill-
eluding those to be given to the mayor for
distinguished guests. It was nearly an hour
before the matter of tickets was finally set-
tled.
THE LEADERS TALK.
blaise rEOPERLY shelved.
Pittsburg, Pa., June 14.—'There was a
noteable gathering of republicans at the
Union depot this morning, en route to Chi-
cago. Among the number were Senator
Spooner of Wisconsin, Senator Stockbridge
of Michigan anil Congressmen McKinley
and Iiutterworth of Ohio. While taking
breakfast the gentlemen were all disposed
to talk quite freely. Senator Spooner said
the indications point to the selection of one
candidate from New York and the other
from Indiana. It is necessary that one of
the candidates belongs to New York, and it
is unfortunate that two residents from that,
state should been in the field.
Senator Stockbridge said the Michigan
delegation was not only going to present
General Alger's name, but would nominate
him. The delegation was solid. Hon. Ben
j. Bntterwortn said that the convention
would be the greatest ever heard of by the
republican party. "Upon it," ha said, "de-
pends more than ever the future of the re-
publican party. It means that the future will
either be one of grand success or the going
to pieces of the party. If the destructive
clement tries to nominate a man whom
wiser heads know might be de-
feated, then we might as well divide,
nnd assist to wind up the party.
But 1 don't expect such results. I believe
ji wise course will be pursued and a strong
man nominated. The talk of more Blaine
letters is nonsense. Blaine's honor lies be-
tween himself and the acceptance of the
nomination, and by the two letters he lias
written I wquid regard it as an indiscretion
in his friends to crowd his name into the
convention after those two letters."
Major McKingley said that Sherman was
eure of 300 votes on the lirst ballot and he
had every reason to believe he would be
nominated. "Blaine," he said, "was out of
the race. The platform would be squarely
for protection."
A bit OF A ROW.
delegates talk.
Chicago, 111., June 14.—An incident show-
ing how the whirr of excitement is begin-
ning occurred during the day at the Grand
Pacific. Colonel A. C. Babcock of Chicago,
who made a fortune as the partner of
United States Senator Charles B. Farwellin
the Texas capitol syndicate, came into the
Grand Pacific rotunda, carrying a tinted
photograph, life size, of the plumed knight
mounted in a rosewood frame. He brought
it to the desk and requested the clerk to
place it in the partition behind the desk
with the pictures of Sherman, Alger, Alli-
son and Gresham. John Drake, owner of
the Grand Pacific, saw the picture before it
hjfd been placed in position and ordered it
removed.
"I want it there," said Colonel Babcock.
"Ilis picture has as much right there as any
of those you have there flow'."
"No it has not," retorted Mr. Drake. "Ho
is not a candidate, and his picture can't be
in this house."
"He is my candidate," said the colonel
hotly, "and I'm going to have his picture
where I p.m."
Both the disputants are old men and their
hair is white, but their eyes flashed ft
brighter lire than shone in the eyes of many
a younger man, as they stood for a moment
facing each other in a semi-belligerent atti-
tude. Mr. Drake insisted on the removal of
the picture, but Colonel Babcock partly car-
ried his point, for he placed the picture of
his political idol in the window of one of
the stores in the hotel rotunda. This did
not satify him and he got
another lithograph of blaike,
which he placed in a niche in the wall near
a drinking fountain and hired two stalwart
c ilored men to st.uul guard over it.
Patrick Egan, ex-president of the Irish
National league and delegate at large, ar-
rived to-day from Nebraska.
"Of the ten members of the Nebraska dele-
gation," said he, "seven are for Blaine, one
is for Alger, one for Gresham and one for
Sherman. I doubt if Blaine's name is pre
uented formally to tho convention, but
should no choice be reached after a certain
number of ballots I suppose his name will
probably be mentioned, and I should not be
Surprised if lie were nominated."
"What do you think of Mr. Ford's state-
ment that Mr. Blaine is the only candidate
who can carry the Irish-American republi-
can vote?"
"I think the Irish-American republicans
will vote for the nominee of the convention.
There were, of course, thousands of men
who voted for Mr. Blaine out of persons!
(sympathy, and some of those persons
would not vote for any other candidate. Of
what is called the Irish vote, and which Mr.
JTor<l figures at 70,000 in the state of New
York, the greater part by far was given to
the republican ticket because it represent-
ed protection to American industry, and
very little if any of this vote, will over be
given to a free trade platform."
The Sherman headquarters formally open-
ed to-day with a lavish display of bunting
and a continuous procession of visitors.
Among them was W. 1'. Browalow, son of
the famous fighting parson. W. P. Brown-
low is a member of the natioTil 1 committee
for Tennessee and a warm supporter of
Senator Sherman.
"I believe Sherman not only the most
available man, but the man that will win,"
said Mr. Brownlow. "Ho will start in with
a far greater vote than any other candidate,
and by that fact alone he will draw in the
wavering. There is less in this Blaine sen-
timent than you might suppose. it is ex-
ploited mostly by men who huvo axes to
grind. Blaine is
NOT IN THE FIELD,
and they know it, but they propose to use
Blaine's name to conjure them. They will
H'iek to use it to the best advantage to them-
selves, agreeing to throw the Blaine iiifiu
cnce to the man who will make the best
promises. In regard to the New York dele-
gation, Mr. Piatt is an astute politician, but
it is a question whether he can throw the
delegation wherehe pleases. He could lead
it for Blaine, I til with Blaine out of the
wav his grip may be gone. Some of the del-
egation will doubtless throw their votes to
Mr. Blaine. Some from my state will very
likely do the same and I should not L sur-
prised to find many of the ardent admirers
of the plumed knight voting for him in
spite of his positive declination and of all
the favorite sons."
Governor Charles Poster of Ohio was one
of to-day's arriv 1 s.
"Sherman will he nominated and elected."
HHid lie. "The Ohio delegation is solid for
him now and all the time."
"A prominent Ohio man says that only
neven of the Ohio delegation can be relied
upon for Sherman, governor."
Governor Foster said; "You toll him I
said he is a liar."
"How is the Alger boom?" one of the Al-
ger men was asked,
K "it is all right; we feel sanguine. The
atmosphere is charged with Alger si > ti-
jnent and nil the incoming delegates are
feeling its influence."
it. K. Frasvr of Detroit will place Gov-
ernor Alger in nomination before the con-
vention. He said he was satisfied with the
outlook. ' No canvass of the situation or
of the delegates has been made to show Al-
ger's strength," said Mr. Fra-
ser, "the nominee has got to be a
good republican, a clean man, a tried states-
man, a br.ive soldier and an honest man.
That is the kind of a man the si tuation de-
mands to-day, and that is the kind of a man
we hone to oiler. A man asked me yester-
day who would be our second shoice. We
have
no second choice.
He might as well have asked concerning a
woman I was courting and expected to mar-
ry, whom I would marry if I should not get
her. We don't know how many votes Gov-
ernor Alger will have on the first ballot, but
we think he will get all on the last ballot,
and that is the one we are working for."
THE LATEST FROM BERLIN.
universal concern.
Berlin, Juno 14.—The people of Berlin
did not realize the extreme gravity of the
emperor's condition until the appearanco of
morning extras containing the morning
bulletin. Tho people then felt that hence-
forth only the worst news could be looked
for. The concern was universal and the in-
tense anxiety increased as successive
extras announced the approach of the
last agony. Until long after night-
fall crowds gathered in front of
the official residence in Wilhelm Strasse be-
ing especially watchful as the chancellor's
residence. Early in the forenoon the Count
Von Schellendorf visited Prince Bismarck
and the two started for Potsdam, where
they will remain two hours, returning to
the chancellor's together. Several minis-
ters visited Prince Bismarck in the evening
and a formal council was held. Prince Bis-
marck had a long conference with the
crown prince at Potsdam after seeing the
emperor.
empress at the bedside.
Midnight—The whole family spent the
evening at the emperor's bedside. The pa-
tient's fever has somewhat abated, but his
temperature is still 108. He is fully con-
scious and makes himself understood by
signs.
Minister von Cahrivari and Drs. Leyden
and Krause returned to Berlin shortly after
8 o'clock, Empress Augusta has started
for Potsdam. Prince and Princess Henry
have arrived here.
There is an enormous crowd before the
castle.
Toward midnight on Wednesday the em-
peror became worse. His pulse quickened
and his temperature rose to over 40 degrees.
The difficulty he experienced in breathing
indicated inflammation of the lungs. The
morning hours were awaited with the
greatest anxiety. At 3 o'clock the empress
was informed of the change and she has not
left her husband's bedside since. Drs. Mac-
kenzie, Bardleben, Wagner and Hovell ex-
hausted their skill in trying
to relieve tho patient, but in
spite of all their efforts his strength rapidly
diminished. Toward morning tho emperor
refused to take medicine. At 7 o'clock
the other doctors came only to confirm
the previous diagnosis. The emperor be-
came slightly more animated about noon
and asked to see his daughter Sophia, yes-
terday being her 18th birthday. Duringthe
night the emperor remained in a kind of
stupor; the doctors gave him various stim-
ulants and camphor injections, but the
effect was only temporary.
The news received by Berlin papers from
Potsdam is scanty, press censorship being
rather rigidly exercised.
Tlio emperor sometimes opens his eyes
and recognizes those about him. A pleasant
smile lightens his face when the empress or
, other members of the family go to his bed-
side.
Public grief was especially noticeable on
the Berlin bourse. Silence was strictly ob-
served, and anyone raising his voice above
a whisper was immediately hushed.
13 a. m., June 15.—The emperor is weaker,
but perfectly conscious and mindful of the
doings around him. Court officials remain
in the palace during the night. It is ex-
pected that the night will pass quietly. The
empress is still at the emperor's bedside.
tiie next twelve hours.
Most optimistic doctors are skeptical as
to the issue of the next twelve hours. It is
stated that a guard of hussars and foot
guards have already been ordered to form a
cordon around the castle. A stimulating
inhallation administered in the afternoon
caused copious expectoration and some
mitigation of symptoms. It is rumored
that food was injected directly into the
stomach, but the report is not confirmed.
The Prince of Wales is expected to arrive
Friday night or Saturday morning.
Matters at lYTcKinney.
McKinney, June 14.—In the district court
court this morning J udge Head decided that
the failure of the clerk to attest tho signa-
ture of the presiding officer of the. commis-
sioners' court did not invalidate the action
of the court. A different ruling would have
invalidated the acts of the court for the last
ten years. This settled the Oglesby bond
case, and the court instructed the jury .to
return a verdict for defendants, the sureties
on the bond,
A Double Wedding at Mentor.
Mentor, O., June 14.—A large number of
guests, including many well known peo-
ple from the cities of Cleveland, Chi-
cago, Cincinnati, Buffalo, New York, Bos-
ton and Washington assembled this after-
noon at the pleasant country home of Mrs.
James A. Garfield, near Mentor, O.. and
witnessed the double marriage of Mr. Harry
Garfield and Miss Belle Mason of Cleveland,
and Mr. J. Stanley Brown of Washington,
D, G, and .Miss Mary Garfield.

DISTRICT JUDGESHIP.
TEXANS CAUCUS.
Washington, June 14.—[Special]—The
Texas delegation met at !) o'clock to-night
to consider the applications of aspirants
for the position made vacant by the death
of Judge Turner. Tho two senators agreed
to report the name of Maxey of Austin as
the proper man for the place. Five con-
gressmen back their report, while the others
are scattered for candidates from their dis-
tricts who have more or less influence.
From this it will be seen that Maxey will
get the place. While other Texas congress-
men have a choice there will be no outcry
when Maxey is appointed.

ferred to committee on appropriations.
Tho senate joint resolution granting
leave of absence to all persons now in the
employment of tho government and who
were present at the battle of Gettysburg to
attend the re-union there on the 3d of
July, passed. This applies to both federal
and confederate.
The concurrent resolution reported yes-
terday from the committee on foreign rela-
tions as to international arbitration was
taken up and passed.
The agricultural department appropria-
tion bill after amendments passed. Among
the amendments agreed to was one appro-
priating $100,000 for the continuance of ex-
periments in making sorghum sugar.
The postofflce bill was next taken up,
amended and passed.
Among the" amendments agreed to are:
Striking out of the item of $50,000 "for com-
pensation to clerks in postoflices or unusual
business."
Reducing the item "for rent, light and
fuel to postoflices of the third class" from
6650,000 to §450,000, with a provision restrict-
ing tho rent of such offices to 8300 a year,
and fuel and light to JG0.
Inserting an item of 81,000,000 for addi-
tional expense of the free deli very service ren-
dered necessary by act of tho 24th of May

house.
In the house Mr. Townsend of Illinois of-
fered a resolution providing for considera-
tion of bills by unanimous consent for half
an hour every morning. Referred to the
committee on rules.
Under call of committees the following
bills were reported:
By Mr. Townsend of Illinois, from the
committee on military affairs: Providing
for an assistant secretary of war.
By Mr. Hooker of Mississippi, from the
same committee: To retire General Alfred
Pleasanton.
The house then went into committee of
the whole on the tariff bill.
After some debate Mr. Buchanan of New
Jersey offered an amendment to strike out
the words "admitting free of duty plates
coated with a mixture of lead and tin." He
said this clause would encourage the im-
portation of adulterated tin, which was used
tor fruit cans.
After some discussion tho amendment
was rejected, as was one offered by Mr.
llalzell of Pennsylvania to limit free plate
to sizes not larger than four feetaud thicker
than No. 20 gauge, and another to strike
out tho entire tin plate paragraph.
When the paragraphs relating to glue
and gelatine were reached, Mr. Webber of
New York moved to strike it out, thus fore-
stalling tho committee amendment to the
same purpose.
Mr. Raynor of Maryland, in the course of
several tilts of the day, took occasion to twit
J. D. Taylor of Ohio with working for his
own protection, he being a member of the
National Iron Roofing association. He also
gave Mr. Reed of Maine a going over for
Lis remark made several days ago to the
effect that it was not worth while to keep
on lying on the tariff, and finally he de-
clared there was a criminal combination be-
tween the republican leaders and the manu-
facturers.
The republicans greeted this with a burst
of derisive applause.
Mr. Webber's motion to strike glue and
gelatine from the free list prevailed without
division.
Tho motion to strike out crude glycerine
failed, but by a committee amendment, of-
fered by Mr. McMillan of Tennessee, fish
glue, or isinglass, was restored to the pres-
ent duty.
Phosphorus, soap stocks, soap and sheep
dip were all passed over.
On "extract of liemlo ,k" there was a con-
siderable debate. A motion to strike out
the paragraph was defeated.
Mr. McMillan moved to strike liquorice
juice from the free list. Adopted.
Six other articles were then pass d over
without debate or objections, as follows:
Indigo, iodine, croton oil, hemp seed and
rape seed oil, cottonseed oil and petroleum.
My. O'Neill of Penu .ylvania and Mr. Far-
quahar of New York pleaded for the
maintenance of duties on alum compounds,
but without avail.
The effort to save tho duties on boraic
acid and borax were unsuccessful. Nitrate
of soda was placed upon the free list—a
caucus amendment—and the committee
rose on a point of no quorum made by Mr.
Foran, having traversed forty-five lines of
the bill to-day, or more than half that pre-
viously covered during the entire fortnight's
debate under the five-minute rule.
It is the understanding that the tariff bill
will now be laid aside for a time and the
army appropriation bill be taken up to-
morrow.
The house then adjourned.

Accident—Fort Worth Sliufc
Out by Galveston.
DALLAS, Tex., June 14.—The second game
between Houston and Dallas to-day result-
ed in a victory for tho visitors with a large
score, although the home club made a big
score too. In the first inniug, Houston at
the plate, Scott pitching and O'Rourlce
catching, O'Rourke met with an accident
that comjielled him to retire, Fabian taking
his place and Whitaker going off the bench
into right field to replace Fabian.
Scott pitched a swift hot one to Whistler
at the bat, who struck and missed it, but
O'Rourke, to his sorrow, stopped it prettily.
The ball split the middle finger of his right
hand open and dislocated it at the middle
joint. He suffered intensely for a time, but
bore it bravely.
Fabian won applause for his catching, but
not being a catcher and not being at all used
to Scott's pitching, this being Scott's first
game with the nine, he of course could not
catch a. successful game. He made some
brilliant throws to second base, for every
one of which he was cheered. Ho was at the
bat four times, and made four base hits.

Largest Pair of Shoes."
A shoemaker of Atlanta, Ga,, has just fin-
ished the largest pair of shoes ever made
for actual use. It took a piece of leather
containing 1040 square inches to make the
uppers, and 1900 to make the soles. That is
8000 square inches altogether. If that
leather were cut into strips an eighth of an
inch wide and made into one long string,
the string would bo 24,000 inches long. The
shoes weigh S'.f pounds. The soles are 14 in-
ches long. 5 ]-{, wide and 8% inches deep.
That doesn't count the heel, which would
add another inch to the depth.
