The ac tion of the committee in seating

I was cast against placing the gold delega
l tionbn the temporary roll, and ..that. was.
cast by Air. Caiiipeau, whois one of the
silver lc:u.ers cf M'leMgan. ' -
yOf course the important feature of the
meeting of the .com'niiti ee was the selection
of a temporary chairman for the conven
tion. As has ' been generally predicted,
Senator Hill received a majority, of the
votes of the coram iee,and today, when
Chairman Harrity calls'the convention to
order, he will present Mr. Hill for tem
porary chairman. The vote in the.com--mittee,
27 to 2:5, "-showed that tie silver
men were not" satisfied, and the announce
ment was immediately made that a minor
ity report will be presented and that Mr.
Daniel, who was defeated in committee,
will be made the choice of silver men for
temporary chairman. It means that there
will be a fight in the convention as soon as
the chaplain finishes his prayer.
" The connnittes completed its Work by
selecting the minor officers, to which them
will be no objections. These are as fol
lows: -Temporary secretary, "S. P. Sheer
ing -of Indiana ; sergeant-at-arm's, John K.
Martin of St. Louis ; assistant sergcant-at-arms,
James Oliver of New York.
r After the adjournment of the national
committee! Mr. Clayton, of Alabama,
stated that, immediately after Chairman
Harrity calls the convention to order he
will present the name of David B. Hill, of

votes are concerned, his strength approxi
mating 2u0, a liberal estimate, with Boies
!noviii along at his heels with' about 200,
butn' vher ia able to demonstrate as yet
how he can win.
In this rhnotic condition of affairs gos
sip and speculation casts about for dark
horses. William J. Bryan, Yice President
Adlai E. Stevenson, John R. McLean, .
Senator Joe Blackburn of Kentucky and
Senator White of California all share the
distinction of being canvassed. Even Sen-
ator Hilt, of New .York-, is talked of, and-;
his fanious Elmira speech of 1893 '-is' re-.,
'called as an(evidence that he is a bimetal
lit and would make a strong compromise
candidate. The name of ex-Governor
James Ii. Campbell, of Ohio, is also heard.
The Pennoyer boom from Oregon was
formally launched yesterday, and ex-Con-'
gi-essman Joe Sibley, of Pennsylvania, an
nounced his candidacy. " . i'
At work in the background is the sena
torial movement for Teller, with the free
silyer Republicans and their allies, the
Populist leaders, straining every nerve to
impress on the convention the advisabil
ity of nominating the Coloradoan. With
all these silver forces struggling against
ej.ch other, with the gold . men solid and
compact, ready to obey, orders, -it is a
shrewd political prophet who can point
the way out. ' i . Z3
The situation in the eastern gold stand
ard camp has crystallized enough to en-
able one to get more of an idea of a set
tled plan than has hitherto prevailed. The
gold men will not as a body leave the con
vention, and it is doubtful if any individ
ual members take that course. - The leaders
are all against it, althou gh it is believed
that Mr.YvTiliiam C. Whitney would be
plea fed to see another convention, with a
gold standard platform. The. most" radical
.action that a gold standard man will take
has practically been settled, and that is to
follow the plan adopted by the Montana '
delegation of the national Republican con
vention in St. .Louis to remain in the con
vention hall, with the notification that -they
wll act in their individual Estates as
to support of the platform and national
ticket as the Democrats of their', ftates tie-

debate. This is an .unexpected thing, he

A inovcmnt has also been inaugurated

the minority of the national committee
the name of' Senator John W. Daniel, of
Virginia.
The silver men were not prepared for
the announcement of the selection of Sen
ator Hill. They had counted confidently
upon securing ;the co-operation of "a suffi
cient number .of gold member's of the com
mittee to secure the recommendation of
Senator Daniel, When the silver commit
ter held its first meeting its members were
cQigratulatingi themselves upon the prob
ability of the selection of Senator Daniel.
"When they mei again in the evening they
showed plainly that they were disap
pointed, but they were not noticeably dis
couraged. They asserted more positively
than ever their determination to secure
control of the temporary organization, re-
gardless of the action of the committee.
They take the position that the result was
secured by open intimidation. "

because, of t Mr. "Scwairs rei-Ord on the
financial question, and'.because it is Re
lieved "that his nomination would go far
towards relieving the ticket of the charge
of .having- ;been selected on sectional
grounds."
The silver men held two conferences last
night,, the last adjourning at midnight.
At its close Senator Jones, of Arkansas,
said : "I feel very confident on the eve of
the convention that the promises of the
Democratic silver men to the country will
be entirely verified by the proceedings.
Wre were not able to locate all the silver
delegations tonight, but we have .assur
ances of between -'500 and 550 votes, and we
are confident of securing enough to swell
the vote on temporary chairman to about
600. We shall have a roll call orr the elec
tion of a temporary chairman."
It Is Expected That Ketween Forty and
Fifty' Thousand Visitors Will Attend tire
.National Capital While the Convention
Is in Session.
Washixgtony July 6 Between 4p,000
and 50, 000 visitors to, the capital city are
expected during the next ten days to at
tend the sessions of, the fifteenth interna
tional Christian Endeavor convention,
: which begins on Wednesday and continues
through the 13th. A vast amount of work
preparing the program for t.he convention
and for the entertainment of the Endeav
orers has been drtne by the local commit-
tee. From the enthusiasm.' which has been
apparent all over the country, as disclosed
by the communications that have been re
ceived by the local committee and the in
tense interest taken in the convention, it
seems to be assured that the gathering
will be the greatest of its kind ever held.
The combined seating capacity of i 40,000
will be available at any time during the
convention, and the meeting places will be
more numerous than heretofore. Three
great tents pitched on the white lot, a
government reservation j list south of the
president's mansion, a- large hall ; and a
number of the churches will constitute
the principal auditoriums, and at certain
times meetings will be held simultaneously
r in all. Other churches will be utilized for
early morning prayer meetings and smaller
gatherings. -Primarily important as meet
' ing places will be the three great tents on
the white lot,- named respectively ; "Tent
Willistori,"" '-Tent Endeavor" and "Tent
Washington." . ;
I Each of these mammoth stretches of
' canvass will hold about 10,000 people. Ap
proximately 8,000.; persons can be accom
modated in the settees for the -audience.
; while on the great platform provision will
..: be made for 1,500 more. All the audito
riums are decorated with Christian En--!
de:ivor and United States flags, streamers
and buntings In the tents are displayed
' a number of flags of foreign nations, con
tributed especially for this, convention by
j Christian Endeavor 'societies in the re
j spective countries as an expression - of the
j international character of thq ' gathering.
I Aside from the interior decorations the
citizens of Washington,' particularly the
' merchants, have entered into the spirit of
the' convention and joined in making the
city attractive by liberal decorations of
their homes and places of business. Shop
windows are bright with convention col
ors, shields and other devices in colors
bearing the word "Welcome" are promi
nently displayed, and fronts of stores and,
buildings are draped, i The government
authorities have lent their assistance in -.
decorating the public parks.
A prominent feature of this year's con
vention will be the great "chorus of about
4,000 voices which has been in training for
a long time for the gathering. Three sec
tions of the chorus will assist in the sing
ing in the tents, and the fourth ixnly of
1,000 voices will be divided among the
other meetings in the halls and churches.
Probably the most interesting feature in
connection with the full chorus of 4,000
voices is an onen air. patriotic song ser
vice. This is to take place next Saturday
afternoon on the broad plaza on the east
side of the United States Capitol building.
The Marine baud)will. lend its assistance.
President Francis E. Clark, D. D., of Bos
ton, is to preside at the meeting ; Hon John
Wanamaker, of Philadelphia,' is to make a
brief address, iand President Clark is to
present a banner to the 'local city union
having reported the best work accom
plished during the year in promoting Chris
tian citizenship.
, The progam for the meetings of the con
vention is about completed.. In general it
contemplates early morning pfcayer meet
ings in the churches of the various denom
inations represented from ::; to 7:1"
o'clock. From,.): 30 o'clock 11 it til; well on
towards noon-are to bo held the meetings
.for addresses, praise, reports a ml the dis
cussion of various topics in -..the large
tents and some of the." hrvhalls and
.churches. In the afternoon," scattered
throughout the convention, will be denom
inational rallies in ihe several churches.
'"'.. The list of those who will pV,ypipa tu in
the convention work includes tfu harne-s of
many divines well known ihrough ut the
country.
