Convention of Republican Clubs
Assembled in Cleveland.
Cleveland, O., June 19.—The
opening session of the eighth na-
tional convention of republican
clubs adjourned at 1 p. m. until 10
o'clock tomorrow after disposing
of all preliminaries and routine
matters. There were no develop-
ments in the convention indicating
the contest between those wearing
yellow and white badges and rep-
resenting respectfully the gold and
silver standards. Iiut in the com-
mittee rooms, at the A read#, ho-
tels and elsewhere the fight con-
tinued. The committee on creden-
tials had consideiable amusement
over the South Carolina contest.
The committees on league work,
rules and order of business had
nothing unusual. The committee
on time and place selected Mil-
waukee as the place for the next
national convention and referred
the selection of the date of the
next national convention to the
executive board, with instructions
to select any date after that of the
republican convention. The post-
ponement to a date subsequent to
that of the national convention
next year was for the purpose of
avoiding any such contest on reso-
lutions as t^iat which now con-
fronts the delegates of the clubs.
There was a movement today to
conclude the work with a banquet
tomorrow, but the agitation before
the committee on resolutions dur-
ing the afternoon and evening
developed such differences that it
is not likely the convention will
close before Friday. The dele-
gates from the west and south
want to get away Friday. As it
I is known that Governor McKinley
can not get here until Friday
j morning there is a general desire
j to wait for him until that time,
and some charge that his friends
are seeking to prolong the session
so as to have a big McKinley day
on Fiiday. Others charge that
the efforts to expe lite business so
as to conclude tomorrow night
were ijtended to give delegates an
opportanity to leave before Mc-
Kinley's arrival.
The presidential booms have
been looked after as carefully to-
day as ever. The Iowa delegates
keep open house for Allison, and
the Hoosiers are quietly keeping
Harrison in mind, while the New
England delegates use the Blaine
tactics for Reed.
Mark A. Hanua, who is close to
McKinley has been keeping an
open house at his mansion all
week. Today Mr. Hanner gave a
dinnei at the Union League, at
which Major Osborn, a relative of
McKinley; Governors Nelson,
Meriiam, Brown and Clayton
Powell, Moses P. Handy, Senators
Thurston of Nevada, Dubois of
Idaho, Warner Miller of New York
and others were guests.
While Mr Handy always l>e-
lieves McKinley to l>e a man of
destiny, he says he was never so
nopeful for the champion of pio-
teetion as he is at this convention,
owing to expressions for his favor-
ite from other states. He does not
think the silver question will em-
barrass the protectionists. It was
conceded early today that the two
leading offices would be divided
between the gold and silver men
by naming General MeAlpin of
New York president aud John
Byrnes of Denver secretary, but
tonight it is proposed to refer the
selection of a secretary to the ex-
ecutive board. It is claimed that
A. B. Humphreys was first select-
ed by the executive board and af-
ter re-elected by the annual con-
vention. The silver men think
the New York delegation, after
feeling confident of McAlpin's
election, are going to avoid hav
ing an ultra silver man for secre-
tary.
The feature of the day has been
the silver fight among the resolu-
tions committee. The committee
organized at 4 p. m. with Con-
gressman J. B. Robinson of Penn-
sylvania as chairman and H. G.
Knowles of Delaware as secretary
was against the silverites, but the
later were not discouraged and
opened up the fight from the start
The committee was in open session
until after 0 o'clock, when on mo-
tion of Congressman Tawney of
Minnesota it adjourned until s
p. m. for an executive session at
which time a subcommittee of nine
was to be announced by Chairman
Robinson and the time given to
the silver m<m aud others for
hearing. The resolution of the
silver men was offered; also other
silver resolutions. The opponents
of free silver, through Mr. Hunter
of Missouri, offered the financia
plank of 1892, also the recent
Ohio plank adopted at Zanesville
last month.
Tha compromise resolution at-
tracting the most attention was
presented by Senator-elect J. M.
Thurston of Nebraska as follows
"We approve the declaration of
the last republican convention
'that the American people from
tradition and interest favor bimet-
allism and the republican party
demands the use of both gold and
silver as a standard money with
such restrictions and under such
provisions to be determined as
will secure the maintenance of the
parity of value of the two metals;
that the purchasing and debtpay-
ing power of the dollar, whether of
gold, silver or paper, shall be at
all times equal.' "
There was no discussion of the
tariff or other issues in the com-
mittee except that on the silver
plank and no differences of opin-
ion existed in the committee of
forty-six members except on the
silver question.
Nearly all the members of the
committee were instructed on the
silver question by their respective
state delegations and it will not be
difficult to adopt a report. Still
it is conceded that these instruc-
tions make it almost certain that a
majority and minority report will
be presented to the convention
and that the silver question will
be fought out on the floor tomor-
row.
The silver men still have confi-
dence in their strength among the
delegates although a majority of
the committee are against them.

the
entering and leaving the canal.
The whole canal is lighted by
electricity and is said to be the
longest distance in the world il
laminated continuously in that
way.
The purpose of the Baltic canal,
twofold one, commercial and uaval.
As for c< mmercial advantages
they result plainly enough, since
the shortening of the voyage
litherto made around Skager rock
is considerable. The military
advantages accruing lie in the fact
that henceforth in times of war
the German navy can not rent or
iept apart, provisioning either
Baltic or North sea can not t>e in-
terrupted or rendered impassible.
Germany had about fifty large and
small vessels of her imperial navy
it the opening cxercises today,
while other nations were well pre-
sented, in all three being fifty-two
oreigu war vessels with 814 offi-
cers and 17,403 men present,
United States represented by four
vessels, seventy-five officers and
1497 men.
Kiel, June 19 There was a
tieavy downfall of rain this morn-
ing and for a time it seemed likely
to jeopardize the success of the
etes. Happily, the clouds cleared
away and brilliant sunshine, ac-
companied by a pleasant breeze,
followed. As a result the streets
were soon alive with people, and
everywhere the greatest animation
prevailed. Many of the streets
are decorated with triumphal
arches and with greetings to the
emperor suspended across the
thoroughfares. The whole city
presents a strikingly effective ap-
pearance. The flags of all nations
were hoisted along the Alster at
noon and the sentrie-J at the doors
of the principal hotels denoted the
presence there of imperial guests.
Naturally the chief center of at
traction was the seaport, where
the display of warships attracted
many thou ands of spectators.
Those of the United States, Great
Britain, Italy and Austria were
especially admired. Large stands
hidden by a profusion of flowers
had been erected at the entrance of
the canal.
At 8 a. m. the war vessels of the
fourteen nations presented here
hoisted their yags to the strains of
anthems of their respective coun-
tries. The official introduction of
the foreign admirals and comman-
ders to the port captain and mili-
tary commandant of Kiel ocenr-
aed on board the Mars and con-
cluded with the official interchange
of visits. The Mars hoisted the flag
of Admiral Knoor and the lat-
ter subsequently, accompanied by
the commanders of the foreign
squadrons and many officers of va-
rious nations, started for Ham-
burg in order to meet the emperor.
