Verses 10 to 12 are an exportation to repentance while mercy may be found. ’ I1I'-ToPic> ‘‘Cod’s works and word” (Ps. x*„ 1, 14). Golden Text. “Ihe law of the Lord is perfect, converting the «ral” (Ps.

Verses 12 to 14 *Hir* David’s His word. Verses 12 to 14 give u prayer to be kept from sin and to__ God in word and in thought. The*three oook8of this psalm are Creation, Scripture tod Conscience, which, as some one has said probably constituted David’s whole library. Although Creation gives but a silent testi oaday it is a most powerful one; so also is Scripture gives conversion, wisdom, joy, hght and everlasting righteousness Lesson IV.—Topic, “The Lpcd my shep herd" (Ps. xxiih, 1-6). Golden Text, “The Lord is my Bhepherd; £ shall not want" IPs. xxiii., 1), In Ps. mi. we have the suf ferings of Christ and the glory that shall * follow, and in Ps. xxiv. the fullness of the whole earth is His. May not this shepherd psalm be suggestive of Israel’s restoration and blessedness as foretold in Isa. x!., 10, 11; Ezek. xxxiv., 32-28? Every true believer may even now. however, anticipate the blessedness of the coining kingdom, and by appropriating every I, me and my of this psalm to his or her own heart enjoy day by day the comfort <5f the Good Shepherd’s presence. ■ Lbssoh V.—Topic, “The Prayer of the Penitent" (Ps. 11., 1-13). Golden text, “Cre ate in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me” (Ps. li., 10). Some of the prominent thoughts of this lesson are _ Wu*t au sin is against God, that sin is in our nature by birth, that we must have a clean heart given to us, that it cau only come by virtue of the blood shed for us, and by the benefits of that blood applied to us. We may lose the joy of salvation, but not salvation if once it is ours. When converted or restored we are to tell others of the glory of God. Lesson VT.—Topic, “Delight in God’s House”. (Ps. Ixxxiv., 1-12). Golden Text, "Plessed are they that dwell In Thy house" (Ps. Ixxxiv, 4). This psalm is divided into three sections of four verses each. The first speaks pf the tabernacle as God’s dwelling [dace in the midst of Israel, but it was precious to the writer only because of the presence of the living God. The second speaks of the people journeying to Jerusa lem from all parts of the land, and making the desert places glad with tneir songs as they journeyed Zionward. The third refers to the fullness of blessing found in God and In His service because of the gr&ce of His anointed. t* Lesson VII.—Topic, “A Song of Praise" (Ps. oiii., 1-22. Golden Text, “Bless the Lord, O my eoul, and forget not all His ben erne" (ra. cm., &). mis psaim nas Daen called a Bible in itself, also a complete (hymn book containing all tile melodies of 'heaven and earth, awakened in honor of the 'only living and true God. Notice in the first five verses the sevenfold cause of praises tol God. “Lesson VIII.—Topic, “Daniel and His [Companions” (Dan. i., 8-21). Golden Text, “Daniel proposed in his heart that he would [not detile himself with the portion of the [King’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank” (Dan. i., 8). This text gives the key 'to Daniel’s prosperity. With purpose of I heart (Acte J3., 28) he and hia companions • stood for God against every appearance of 1 evil. Believing fully the holiness of their * God,they would be holy too (Lev. xi., 44-15). Observe in verses 9 and 17 how the haul of their God was upon them for good, and He ! gave them the favor of man and wisdom from heaven. LbESON IX.—Topic, “NebuchadnezzaPs Dream” (Dan. ii., 8A-40). Golden Text, “All things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do” (Heb. !<▼., 18). In this lesson we have an outline of the history of the world from the days of 'Daniel until the establishing of the kingdom !©t God on earth. We see in the confession 'of (be wise men (verses 10, 11) the utter in ability of the natural man to see or under stand the things of God; but in the case of •the Hebrews who knew God We see how man can take hold of God, and how God is pleased !to tell us His secrets (verses 17-28; Ps. xxv.f , 14: Amos ill., 7). 1 lemon X—Topic, “The Fiery Furnace” (Dan.I ill.. 18-35). Golden Text, “Wheu thou walkest through the fire thou shalt not be - burned; neither Bhall the flame kindle upon' thee” (Isa. xliii., 2). Three apparently help lass young men stand*before the ruler of the whole earth with all human power at his command, and because they \ know, the Kin^ of kings and Lord of lords and Ruler rulers, they fear not to defy the earthly ruler even though the furnace awaits them. IiESSON XI.—Topic, “The Den of Lions” (Dan. vl., 16-28). Golden Text; “No manner of hurt was found upon him, because he be lieved In his God” (Dan. vi., 38). This mem has the same spirit as the other three, and be prefers to go to the den of lions rather Hum to seem in the least to. turn away from iJ3elD«V f.J donor Monti’• Return to Weahingrton.

Tenth National Gathering of the Party at Minneapolis. Details of the Proceedings, Soenes and Incidents. Th# tenth National Convention that the Republican party records in its annals be gan at Minneapolis, Minn., under a oloud strewn sky, with thunder in the air a nd un «rf*inty in every condition, J '' ' TOTS- CONVENTION BUILDING. Minneapolis and St. Paul had been wait ing impatiently for weeks to see the opening of the great convention, and thousands of people from all over the Northwest had journeyed thither to enjoy the novel specta cle. Yet, though both cities are overrun with visitors, the arrangements at the con vention hall were almost perfect, and the delegates were enabled to gather and do their work without disco infort or interfer ence. As early as 10 o’oloek the march began across the bridges of the Mississippi River to the convention hall,, and an hour later the first few had swelled to a steady stream, which lasted until after the convention had been called to order. The Exposition Hall, as its name indi cates, is a Dig show building or permanent exhibition place for the products of Minne sota and the two Dakotas. It is a huge square wooden structure, built close to the , edge of the Falls of St. Anthony in South Minneapolis, on the opposite bank of the river from Minneapolis proper, and its tall > tower commands a fine view southward of [ the neighboring city of St. Paul. The interior of the buildiii^ is plain, but spacious, tall pillars supporting a broad, flat roof which rises in the middle a dozen feet or more into a heavy skylight through which the sun’s rays filter down into central body of the hall. In this central portion are the seats for the 900 delegates. On one side of the square, court-like space in which the seats are arranged is the platform of the President, with seats on it for perhaps 300 people, each member of the National Com mittee haying a place reserved here for hie * JAMES O. BLAINE. tFrom>la latest photograph,J own use, and one or two extra chairs fe^his friends. On each side of the main plat form "are the seals for the newspaper press, 800 or 400 in number. Behind the space railed off for the delegates are sec tions of seats for spectators stretching back to the entrance, and above are tiers of gal leries all the way around the building. About the pillars which uphold the roof,half way up, Were sheaves of wheat gracefully capped, and festooned against the gallery foot-rails about the hall were the shields and coats of arms oE the forty-four States. Directly opposite the Chairman’s platform, up under the roof, was a sort pf elevator cage for the band. Mtvi P. HORTON. i \ The ball looked very beautiful Its the morning sunlight. Lillies end roses bloomed in front of the Chairman’s table, which, con-. spicuous artiole was of rich mahogany, speeir ally carved for the occasion. The chair was of carved oak, and a handsome Turkish rug covered the platform. The first burst of cheering arose when Governor McKinley of Ohio was recognised moving down the main aisle at a quarter of 12 o’olook* Immediate ly afterward New York’s big four—Platt. Hisoook, Miller and Depew—closely followed by the entire delegation in a body, marched down the centre, and were warmly applaud ed. They took their alloted seats immedi ately in front of the chair. • ' ' ' ' There were hundreds and hundreds of vacant seats in the galleries, but not msnv on the ground floor, when the time for call ing the convention to order had arrived. But there were fiOUO to 700 J persons in the ball easily at 12,-45 when General James B. Clarkson, cnairman ot the National Committee;!’stepped to the desk and took the special convention gavel in his hand. \. The convention and gallerlee came to order gpickly, and there was not a delegate stand ing when Mr. Clarkson announced that the session would be opened with prayer by the Kev. Dr. Brush, Chancellor ot the Uni versity of South Dakota. A moment after ward the whole convention stood as Dr. Brush, a venerable-looking man with soarselv covered head and lone white beard, began to deliver the invocation. He prated for harmony and that the platform ana the other issues might be subordinate! to “Thy great will.” When he said “Amen,” the convention settled down again with a rustling of badges that was like the whisoerine of autumn leaves. There was a murmur or conversation, which was hushed quickly as M. H. Da Young, of California, stepped forward and read the call for the convention. At this time there were not a dozen of the delegates’ seats unfilled, but the galleries were very empty. When the reading of the call was concluded, . and Chairman Clarkson arose and announced that he was instructed by the National Commit tee to present to convention for its Tem porary Chairman the Hon. J. Bloat Fassett, of New York. There was a round of aDDlause at this announcement, led bv the New Yorkers, and Mr. Fassett, unescorted, left his seat and started for the platform. A path was cleared for him, and a minute later Chairman Clarkson was the New York delegation rising and waving \ / JOHN SHERMAN. i^JW thelrfhat? in his honor. Mr. Fassett looked perfectly self-possessed as he gazed about the vast hall. In his hand was a typewrit ten manuscript, to which he referred occa sionally as he spoke . Mr. Fassett’s speech was well received, the delegations listening more attentively than they usually do to the oratory of a tem porary chairman. The first touch upon the sentiment of the convention came in an WILLIAM M’KJNLEY. allusion to reciprocity, artistically led up to by the speaker. It was the signal for a storm of cheers. The most skill fiu bit was his allusion to the great names of the party—Lincoln, Seward, Grant, Sher man, Garfield and Logan. The speaker paused after each name, and gave the con vention an opportunity to cheer, then, with a pause a little longer than the rest, he rap idly ejaculated, '‘Harrison and Blaine,” and raising his finger as a signal, the entire con vention rose in one grand, swelling chorus of cheers for the rival candidates. Almost equal do the option to Harrison and Blaine was the enthusiasm inspired by a reference to ex-Speaker Reed. Mr. Reed was seated far in the rear in the sneaker’s t; stand anil audience. ~ V///' •' THOMAS B. SEED, was invisible to most of the Some one started the cry of “Reed!” Reed!” and it was instantly taken up by the delegates an t the gallery. The building rang with the popular demand for the appearance of the man from Maine. Not until the Chairman of the convention turned and. beckoned commandingly to him. < id he finally arise from his seat and make j speech, which was frequently interrupted by applause, which was renewed as Mr. Ref*d closed. There were also loud calls for McKinley, Foraker and Quay. General Clarkson then reported the names oi the temporary officers ot the convention, and the selections of the National Commit tee were at once approved without opposi tion. The rules of the last Republican National Convention were adoptea, and on motion of General Sewell the roll was called and the Chairman of eaoh delegation an nounced the members of committees se lected. - p RUBS ELL A.

General William Mahone, of Vir ginia, and ex-Sena tor J. c. Spooner of Wisconsin, were all applauded. At 1.50 p. ic. the convention adjourned un til 11 a. m. next day. * Immediately after the convention ad jouraed the Committee on Platform met end organized. Ex-Governor Foraker, of Ohio, was elected Chairman. The Committee on Permanent Organization organized by ihe selection of Lockwood, of Idaho, as Chairman and King, of New Hampshire as Secretary. A sub-committee, consisting of Ellis, of Kansas, Thomas, of New York: T, Madison Vance, of Louisiana and De pauw, of Indiana, was appointed. The Committee i»n Credentials organized by the selection of Congressman CorsweU,of Massachusetts, as Chairman, and H. Terrell and Henry Lamm, as Secretaries. Second Day’s Proceedings. tang before 11 o’clock the convention hall was crowded by an anxious throng composed of delegates, committee men. shooters nnd spectators. The body of the big hall was so densely crowded that it was only with the greatest difficulty that the late comers were able to reach their seats. The crowd took advan tage of every opportunity that was offered to cheer and applaud, interspering it with shouts for Blaine, Harrison, McKinley and Reed JEREMIAH M. RUSK. At twenty minutes before 12 Temporary Chairman Fassett entered the hall and was welcomed with cheers. As soon as quiet was restored the convention was called to order, after which Bishop Whipple stood up to deliver the invocation. When Governor McKinley, of Ohio, ar rived he walked down the main aisle to an accompaniment of cheers. After he reached the platform three rousing cheers were given for him, accompanied by cries of “He’s all all right.” Governor McKinley returned his thanks for the reception. Chairman Fassett then introduced Mr. Walker, of Nebraska, who presented a gavel to the convention in a speech that hardly any one could hear. Mr. Fassett returned thanks. The Temporary Chairman announced the order of business to be the presentation of the Credentials Committee report. Mr. Cogswell, Chairman of that committee, took the floor and said that the committee couldn’t report before the next day. Leave to sit continuously was granted. CuttiFusaii7 Fsssstt tbss announced that the report of the Committee on Perm anent Organization was next in order. Governor McKinley’s name was reported for Permanent Chairman. This was fol lowed by prolonged applause, delegates wav ing hats and handkerchiefs for nearly half a minute. Governor McKinley was escorted to the chair by Messrs. Spooner and Mahone amid great enthusiasm. Charles W. Johnson was named for Sec retary and the assistant secretaries of the temporary organization were recommended to be continued. ROBERT T. LINCOLN, Chairman McKinley then delivered hie speech, which was frequently applauded. The convention, at 12:50, adjourned until the following day. Third Day’s Proceedings. The convention was called to order at 11:22 o’clock by Governor McKinley, who wtfs nproarionsly received. “Prayer will be offered by the Rev. Will iam Brush, Chancellor of the University of South Dakota,” said Chairman MoKinley, when order was obtained. After the prayer the Chairman called for the report of the Committee on Credentials. A round of applause greeted Chairman Coggswell. “The Committee oh Credentials is still at work?” said he, “and has made dili gent progress. It hopes to be able to report at 8 o’clock p. M., and asks for further time.' Ex-Governor Sewell, of New Jersey, at once moved that a reces3 be taken until 8 o’clock, in order to give the committee the necessary time, but yielded for a resolution of Senator Cullom, of Illinois, indorsing the World’s Fair and reoommeding a National appropriation therefor. This resolution was ref erred to the Committee on Resolutions, and immediately thereafter an Illinois dele gate introduced a resolution providing that all Grand Army men shall be admitted to standing room In the house, and permitted to occupy all seats remaining vacant thirty minutes after the beginning of each session. This resolution was referred to the Commit tee on, Rules and Order of business. The Chairman then announced that the question was on the motion to take a re cess. Thefre were cries of “No” from all oyer the hail, coupled by cries of “Ingalls,” but in the confusion the Chairman put the . , motion and declared it carried. A New York delegate called for a division. It was evident as the ayes stood up that the motion was carried. The Chairman ' an nounced the-vote as 407" to 2(W, and at 11:45 declared that the convention would take a reoees until 8 o'clock p. m. - After the recess, It wak 8:50 when Clerk Johnson took the platform and said in a hoarse voice: 4‘Announcement.” He caused dramatically, and then repeated: “Announcement.” Two minutes later Chairman McKinley brought down his gavel. Chaunoey Depew jumped to his feet and did a yery graceful thing in moving the oon Kstulations of the convention to Colonel ok Thompson, of Indiana, ex-Seuator, the man whose eighty third birth lay it was, and who has attended every Nattophl. Conven tion sinoe the foundation of the party. Mr. Thompson w&> escorted to the platform, whepe he began a short address. At tuts point tne electric agues went out after a minute’s flickering, leaving the speaker’s figure hardly distinguishable in the blackness, which was barely relieved by the flow from some fifty gas jets in the gal leries. The lights blazed up again ip a min* ute, ana Mr. Thompson finished his re marks. J Then the Chairman announced the regular order of business to be the report from "the Committee on Credentials. . Chairman Coggsweli took the platform and stated that he was not prepared with a written report, but if the convention wished he would make a verbal report. He understood that the minority was ready to report. Mr. Wallace, of New York, said he had a partial report from the minority, which he sent to the clerk’s desk. The Chairman asked if there was objection to the reception of a verbal report from the committee. No objection was heard, and Mr. Coggsweli,holding in his hand a memo randum sheet, began to an announce the action of the committee. The majority report gave Mr. Harrison a net gain of twelve votes over the number of his advocates seated by the National Com mittee in the temporary organ1 zation. A minority report,” changing this in a great measure and giving Blaine the advan tage, was submitted by the anti-Harrison The fight began on a motion to substitute the minority for the majority report, and, as this was a test vote of the strength of 1 the two divisions of the convention, much interest was manifested. After much speaking pro and con, that part of the report seating the uncontested delegates was adopted and then the question came up on the motion to sub (titlltA t.hfl millflritv for tho moWitir TonAPt so iaras it applied to Alabama. The motion was put to a viva voce vote and the Chair was unable to decide. Then Quay, of Penn sylvania, demanded the call of the roll of States, and Warner Miller, of New York, seconded the call. The convention now buzzed with unsuppressed excite ment; the Blaine men were forcing the fight ing, and this was the first chance there had been for a trial of strength within the con vention. t.ha roll /Mill reached. The delegates voted seventeen for the minority report and five against it. Four of these voters were the contestants favored by the minority report. Chauncey Depew made a big stir and got hissed and hooted at by rising, and with uplifted arms shouting: “Mr. Chairman, I challenge the vote of Alabama!'’ The dispute over Ala bama was settled by the Chairman of that delegation withdrawing the four votes of the deleeatea-at-laree. ~ When the vote of new acorn was canea warner -miner an nounced the vote as forty-five for the mi norityj or Blaine, and twenty-seven for the majority, or Harrison report. On the com pletion of the roll of States, it was an nounced that the total vote stood, 428 for the adoption of the minority report, and 468 against. The crowd quickly caught the idea that the result was against Blaine, and cheer upon cheer rolled from the Harrison benches. A motion was made at a quarter of one to adjourn until ten o’clock a. m. But this was fought stubbornly by the Harrison men, who succeeded in defeating it. The convention then resumed business, and took up the case of the Alabama contestants for the Seventh District. The vote was taken by roll of States on the adoption of the report, and it was adopted by a vote of 476 to 365—a more pro nounced victory for the Harrison forces. Foraker then read the platform, and at twenty minutes past one the convention todk a recess until ten o’clock A- m . Fourth Day’s Proceedings. Governor McKinley called the fourth day of the convention to order at 11:30 o’c ock, and prayer was offered by the Rev. Dr. rrijinuu Hoyt, of tbft First-Baptist Ckurek of Minneapolis. The members of the Republican National Committee from sev eral States were announced, and then the Chairman made known the fact that opposi-* tion to the adoption of the ma joritjy'.reporfcj' j in the Alabama case had been with Ira wn. Cheers greeted the unanimous vote in favor of this report. Routine business was hext disposed of, and soon nerves were at high tension at the formal beginning of the real work of the convention. Governor McKinley ordered a call of the States for the nomination of candidates for the leadership of the party in November. When Colorado was called, Senator Wolcott arose from his seat and mounted the platform to present the name of Blaine. He made an effective ad dress, and again and again his mention of the man whose candidacy he supported called forth prolonged applause from hands, feet and mouths. Indiana was the . next State that had a favorite son to present. He was President Benjamin Harrison. The honor was con ferred on old Uncle Dick Thompson, who celebrated his eighty-third birthday the day before. He was Secretary of the Navy in President Grant’s Cabinet. The venerable octogenarian is quite vigorous, and liis brief speech was strong, full of point and well received. Michigan was called and no one got up to put Alger in the field. This was a surprise tomanv; for General Alger had been talked of as a very likely dark horse. It was when Minnesota was called that Blaine got his great ovation. Delegate W. H. Eustis, of Minneapolis, ascended the platform to second the Blaine nomination, and as on a preconcerted signal, th * ap plause raged in the maddest style lor half au As Eustis descended from the platform there occurred one of the most remarkable happenings in the history of National Con ventions. The cheering for Blaine had not lasted quite fifty seconds, an l was dying out wTien a bright-faced, pretty women, sitting iu the next row byhind the platform, stool up, and with a white parasol closed and like an orchestra leader’s baton began to motion the delegates to warm with their cheering. Sne bad a prominent position in the hall,and was in front of and in full sight of all the i delegates. They all saw her,and slowly be?an | to rise and recommence cheering. They stood up in bunches of half a dozen at a time, and j the pretty young woman never faltered, but kept beckoning more and .more of them to j get up, until the whole body of the delegates was on its feet. Even then she was not sat isfied, but with the same firm and masterful motion of her parasol kept inciting them to Increase and strengthen their cheevs. "TT, ' WBTTKLAW RKtD . ' The woman was Jkfrs. Carson Lake, of New York City, the wife of a newspaper correspondent. Never, perhaps, has a woman so completely mastered li,000 per sons at one gathering in this country. She led that multitudeas a bandmaster leads an orchestra, up and down with her parasol. McKinley kept hammering. The crowd tired of fighting him down with noise, and presently, after twenty-six minute® of cheer ing, order was restored. At last a semblance of quiet was reached, and W. E. Mollison, a colored delegate from Mississippi, was allowed to second Maine's j nominat.OQ r - "in© oratorical treat ui uuo uaj couw »»«n.u Cbaunoey M. Depew, representing New York, aro6© to recount the services of President Harrison, and to enforce his claim to the nomination. 1 The fame r of the speaker led all to expect a matchless piece of eloquence, and Mr. Depew did the fullest Justice to his own reputation and to his ardor for the President’s cause. Every good point he made was keen- < ly appreciated,and most warmly commended 1 with boisterous applause. When he had , finished, there was a repetition of the scenes earlier in the afternoon. Harrison and Blaine banners were carried about the hall, ' and noise was made in every way that the ingenuity of the delegates supplied. When Mr. Depew spoke Harrison’s name , the friends of the President had their inn ings, and when he mentioned McKinley the whole convention cheered for thirty seconds. At the conclusion of bis speech cheers for Harrison and counter cheers for Blaine were kept up for another twenty-five minutes. Another son of New York then arose, ex Senator Warner Miller. He seconded the nomination of Blaine. Next, Congressman Cheatham, of North Carolina, did a similar service for Harrison. J. Q. Boyd, a colored delegate from Tennessee, spoke for Blaine, and ex-Senator Spooner for Harrison, and Delegate Dowling, of Wyoming,'also second ed Maine’s nomination. On motion of General Sewell, of New Jer sey, at 3:17 p. M., the taking of the first bal lot was made the next business. Alaska and the Indian Territory were allowed to vote. Their delegates brought the total to 906, autl 454 necessary to nominate. Then the roll of the States was called amid the most intense excitement. Alaska led off with two for. Harrison. Mc Kinley’s name came to the front with seven votes from Alabamaand it was apparent that the anti-administration men had decided to divide their forces on the first ballot. When the vote of New Hampshire was announced it became evident that Harrison would be renominated. When Ohio was reached. Chairman Mc Kinley demanded a poll of the delegates. A vote of forty-four for McKinley and two for Harrison was announced. Ex-Governor Foraker raised the point that the Chairman was no longer a delegate from Ohio. Chairman McKinley ruled against Foraker, and a nnll was takan. Tn this MeTSTinlav ra ceivea iorty-nve votes to one lor Barnson. When Texas voted twenty-two for Harrison, his nomination was secure, and the conven tion went wild. THE BALLOT BT STATES. Harris- McKir, soru Blaine, ley. Reed.

Shepard to the chair, and taking the floor moved that the nomination be made unani mous. The Chairman said: “President Har rison having received a majority of the votes cast, has received the nomination of this con vention. Shall it be unanimousT* After a tumultuous yeil of “Ayes,” he added: “The nomination is made unanimous.” A motion to take a recess to 8 p. m . was immediately offered and agreed to, and the heated and excited assemblage dispersed. The evening session of the convention was little more than a ratification meeting. The nominee for the Vice-Presidency was selected in a meeting of the New York delegation, held an hour before the convention was called to order. By tacit consent the naming of the Vice-Presidential candidate was left to the New York delegation . The convention was called to order at 8:50 o’clock, and the roll of States called for pre sentation of candidates for Vice-President. When New York State was reached Senator O’Connor nominated Whitelaw Reid, and General Horace Porter seconded the nomina tion. Goverpor Bulkeley, of Connecticut, and others also spoke in favor of Mr. Reid. A motion was made that the nomination of Mr. Reid be ma le by acclamation, but Delegate Settle, of Tennessee, objected and nominated ex-Speaker Taomas B. Reed, which evoked great applause. Arkansas sec onded the nomination, as did also Mr. Lou don, of Virginia. The Maine delegates asked the convention not to vote for the ex Speaker, as he was nnfe a candidate and would not accept. The nomination of White law Reid was then made by acclamation. The usual resolutions of thanks were thon adopted,and with band playing, the conven* tion, at 10 P. m., adjourned sine die. Mr. Polk Much Better. Washington, D. C.--Thc familiar j quotaton, “The darkest house is just be- i ..fore dawn,” was fully exemplified in the case of President Polk, of the Farmers’ Alliance. Yesterday eveuing his condi tion was considered hopeless, but by the constant attendance and unceasing treatment by Dr. J. M. Hays, his physi cian, Mr. Polk rallied and gradually im proved. This morning there is every indication of ultimate recovery unless he has a recurrence of the hemorrhage, which has doctor does not apprehend. Heart failure was stopped by the use of stimu lants. Mr. Polk is resting comfortably. A number of prominent men have.been calling to inquir^,about Mr. Polk’s con dition, among whom were Senators Han som, Irby ana Kyle and Representatives Livingston and Simpson. The condition of President Polk, of the Farmers’ Alliance, continues to im prove. He passed a quiet day today. To-hight Ips mind was clear, and his physicians feel assured of bis uttimate re covery. ' Mrs. Polk arrived in Washington aud since her arrival tbe patient has so much improved that his physician for the first time since bis illness, bur left his bedside. Later.—Col. L. !L. Polk died Saturday morning at 11:15 o’clock, surrounded by his wife and friends. _ , The new lumber mills at Ft Mot t*.

C.—Mr. Morgan Deni., Ala.) who had given notice th»t .. le would address the Senate on th^ silver H [iiestioo, called up the unfinished busi less—Senator Stewart’s bill tor the free coinage of gold and silver. Mr. Morgan prefaced hi-4 remarks by bating that he did not * intend to make a ■ (ilver speech, bnt simply wished to sub mit some preliminary remarks He wanted to hear from the Minneapolis Convention before doing so. It w s like-: ly that the Senatoribgiit^hio (My. Gher man) yronld be a conspicuous figure there, alt which many darts would be fired,; and he, too, would like to five a few darts at bim.r / >1 . Mr. Morgan said he had something to =^ say to his friends on the Democratic side. The State of Alabama he said, had always been Democratic except once, when it cast its vote for General Grant agai st Horace Gree'y. With this'exception that State had been Democratic until yes terday. Whether it wou'd be Democratic to-morrow he did not know. Yesterday someth ng happened that brought to him a mournful suggestion of the future. <rT There was going to be some difficulties in smoothing out the troubles ‘here. These difficulties were not personal ot: political, but came from dissa isfaCtion of the farming commufiity in that State, who had felt the pressure of want amid great abundance. They dreaded-thc visits of the tax gatherers. The people of Ala bama had done all they could to uphold the Democratic party, which they believ ed was in favor of broadening the money system of the country. They relied on the Democratic party to relieve them lieved the Democratic party was for sound money, based on the equal free coinage of ^old and silver. Mr. Morgan briefly "reviewed the fqrmation of the Farmers’ Alliance, noting , its objects and scoring it for its alleged fallacious doctrines. It had in its ranks, he said, a lot of schem ing politicians, who presented a number of wild schemes to the people, including the Ocala platform. He would inform his Democratic friends that if they could do without the vote of Alabama in the next election they need not listen to him Th« trouble in that State wa^traceab’e direct ly to the fact that >he Senator from Ohio (Mr. Sherman) had been able to demone tize silver, aad the Democratic party had not enough courage to remou-tize it. The Senator from phio (Mr. Sherman) said it wfts not a political question. The Senator from Missouri (Mr. Vest) said it was not a political question He ^Ir. Morgan) said it was not a political ques tion. They all said that because in the divisions of the houses of Congress on the silver question they had hot divided on party lines. No political party, there fore, was responsible, but both parties were afraid that in the existing political conditions, they could not do without the , aid of the men who controlled the gold j side of this question. He wanted to take it out of politics. He believed we could serve our country better now by coming together, irrespective of party, and doing what was best to restore silver as a money metal as it was in 1873. Mr. Morgan concluded with a referen e to “the deplorable financial situation of the country. ^ Hardly had Mr. Morgan been seated when Mr. Hale (Rep. Me.) called up the Pension Deficiency bill already passed by ■the House, and it was passed in a per functory manner in less than three minutes. Mr. Jones (Dem., Ark.) addressing the Senate on the Stewart Free Coinage bill reviewed the political aspect of the silver question as shown by the votes on that subject in Congress during recent years, analyaing the standing of each political party. At the conclusian of Mr. Jones’ re marks the Senate, at 1:15 o’clock,'ad journed. Hew Industries in the South.
