Convention in Session of the Massa- chusetts Republicans, DAMAGE OF THE SPANISH FLOODS Cable Reports Cause Price of Wheat to Fluctuate. LATE TELEGRAPHIC MASSACHUSETTS REPUBLICANS. NEWS. Hon. Henry Cavot Lodge Chosen Permavent Chairman. Bostox, Sept. 16.—When Chairman Burdette of the state committee called the republican state convention to order in Tremont Temple atll10am. he spoke to one of the largest gatherings that has ever attended the delibera- tions of the party delegates. ‘Ihe floor of the hall and the first balcony was fully occupied by delegates, many standing near the doors, while the upper gallery, reserved for spectators, was uncomfortably filied. ‘Temporary organization was effected choice of Joseph O. Burdette as chairman and J. Otis Wardwell of Haverhill secretary. After President Cupen of Tuit’s College had invoked the Divine blessing Chairman Burdetto an- nounced that the convention was ready for business, and, on motion, appoiuted commit- tees on credentials and permanent organiza- the tion. When the ccmmittees had retired Hon. Elijub A. Morse presented a resolution upon the death of Hon. George B. Loring, ¢: apr the party y to the fami ing the loss # death and exte! the deceased. ‘The committee on permanent organization then r ijuaming Hon.Henry Cabot Lodge with forty- ated by Hon. 1 reventy-eight vice secretaries, nd EA. Buf- gton of Leominster, with F. E. Haywood of Worcester, app of Lowell, L. Wentworth of Som Howard Laubbam of Haverhill and Batler If Wilvon of Boston as assistants, HEYRY CABOT LODGES ADDRESS. When the com: appointed to escort Mr. Lodge to the platform appeared with that gen- tleman the convention burst into loud ap- plause, which was coutinued for several min- utes. ained b ling symp Mr. Lodge addressed the convention at length. “He roviewed at great leugth the his- tory and traditions of the republican par principles and its record in Congress. ‘The re- publican party st rk ovement evious inter E Free coinage is today a principle of the demo- cratic purty. You fiud it set forth in their Ohio platform, and they believe that on that inate th It in useless to cay that the democrats of New England are as sound on the money question as the republicans. ‘Ihe democrats of New England will be governed by thar party while they stay in it, “The amiable young men whom they elected to Congress last fall talk as if they could con- trol their party on this matter. They make the same mistake as the fly on the wheel. They do not make the wheel go round. The wheel goes round and carries them with it through dust and mud alike. They will all vote sooner or later for a free silver Speaker and they can give no more powerful aid to the free silver catise than by so Acing. for it is the Speaker who makes commit. tees, who leads the party and who shapes legis- lation. They will 2o well if they can keep their immediate following straight on this question. Ir is uot casy to prove that 80 cents do not mage a dollar to a party whose members in Boston, ar. ery man who believes in honest uoney and who is opposed to an inflated currency must vote with the republican party. If he does not he is giving direct support, whether he casts his vote in Massachusetts or in Kansas, for the principles which he abhors and for the business perils which he dreads. “The republican party nas kept its pledges | about the tariff. It was promised to revise, re- | adjust and equalize duties and stop the frauds upon the revenue, and these things Lave been done.” ‘The speaker then referred to the reciprocity and protection, coupled with the subsidies to American steamships, and in this the party has kept its promise to develop commerce. Recathteg Spied tha exgenditares of the last Congress he said: “If the democratic party is opposed to an inerease in the expenditure for the efficiency and extension of the postal service, the great government service which touches the conve- nience, the happiness, the business and the homes of all the people of the United States, Jet them say #0.” He then reviews at length the uses to which the different appropriations were put. Review- ing the administration of President Harrison, he draws a favorabl> comparison between its work and that of the one preceding, going into details «5 to various executive acts. Continu- ing, he speaks of the work of the State Depart- under Mr. Blaine in glowing terms. “We welcome honest immigrants; but the time has come to exclude the vicious and the ignorant. To that work, now rising toa first place among public questions, the republican is ready to address itvel! e stand ou the great issues with which we We wiil meet those of the future in the same spirit. As 2 national party we present to the voters our work of the last two years as a pledge for the work we will do in the coming time, aud on this ground we ask support." ‘The speaker goes into state matters at great length criticising — the demo- cratic party. “A vote for Governor sell,” said he, “is a vote for free silver, for democratic victory in Mastachusetts this year will be taken to mean that Massachusetts pre- fers the democratic party with iree silver to the republican party without A vote for Gov. Russell means free trade, not amendments, as the tariff of 1890: not free raw materials for th Lenetit of New England, but naked free trade.” Chairman Lodge speke for an hour and was | listened to with the closest attention, The report of the committee ou credentials was then made. Ex-Gor. John D. Longof Hingham then took the platform amid applause, and in a graceful speech presented the name of Hon. W.W. Crapo of New Bedford ate for governor. Mi; Crapo’s name was received with onthusiastie cheers and Mr. Long retired ina burst of ap- plause. Gen. Cogewell of Salem followed Mr. Long. It was recognized as noon as he took the plat- form that he was to place in nomination Hon. Charles H. Alien of Lowell, and he was received with an outburst of applause that was repeated with tenfold vigor and with shouting and cheering when he men- tioned Mr. Allen’ name as a cundidate, and Mr. Cogswell retired from the platform followed by the plaudits of the Ailen support- ers, who, judging from the demonstration made, were largely in the majority in the cou- vention. Hon. F. T. Greenhalge of Lowell, chairman of the committce cu resolutions, then reported the platform, which was unanimously adupted. JHE PLATFORM. It congratulates President Harrison and the administration, dewands maintenance and ex- tension of civil service reform and a law to in- sure fair elections. ‘The money plank is as follows: “It is of para- mount importance to the whole people to m: tain the only true and sate standard of value in money; every dollar issued by the government, whether paper or coin, should beas goodasevery other dollar; and as we know that uations are interdepeudent in all monetary affairs, and that the experience of every civilized country proves that it is absolutely necessary to social progress and to the highest prosperity of any country to have and to keep the stand- ard measure by which allits producty are measured and éxcharged essentially the same as that of the world’s international standard of yalue and exchange, we are unalterably opposed to the unlimited coinage of silver by this country exsepting upon a uniform inter- national ratio to gold aud under similar r strictions and conditions both as to the govern- ment and individuals as prevail in other lead~ ing nations of the world. We condemn the deiaocratic party for its indorsement of free silver in the party platform in Ohio, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan and eighteen other states. ‘The position of the democratic party on this most vital question is full of peril to the coun- try. The few members of that party who hold sound views thereon only em the dan- gerous attitude of the party itself; they do not control sheir party; party ‘contaple them, and thoy are powerless to direct or influence party nétion.”” The tariff legislation of the last Congress is approved and its good results pointed ou, par- ticularly the benefit from the removal of ‘duty on sugur and the reciprocity cleuses. It denies extravagance in pensions, urges that immigration of a certain class be Te- stricted, approves the public school system, demands legisintion against the liquor traffic, sleo legislation favoring the workingman, and invites the support for these principles of all parties. RECESS TANEN. At 2:25 the balloting having been completed recess until 3 p.m. was taken to allow time for the counting of the ballots. CRAPO GIVES IT UP. 2:30 p.m.—The Crapo men now concede the nomination ef Allen for governor. psa THE SPANISH FLOODS Latest Advices Tell of the Distress in the Stricken Districts. Maury, Sept. 16.—Further distressing par- ticulars in regard to the flooded provinces con- tinue to be received at long intervals, exch ad- ditional report showing that the ex- tent of the disarter has in no way been exaggerated. ‘The latest informa- tion is from Jaen, capital of the province of the sume name. The governor of that province telograpbe that the whole commune of Aubeda is submerged; that the damage done is enormous, and that there has been considera ble lossof life. A CITY OF THE DEAD. The correspondents of the Spanish and foreign newspapers who have been ablo to reach Consuegers describe it as “a city of the dead.” It is wrapped in deadly silence, which in itself is horrifying in the extreme. Consnegers is situated thirty-five miles southeast of Toledo, and before the flood it had a population of about 7,000. It | also had a number of factories where coarse | woolens were manufactured, and boasted of the remains of an ancient castle and many Koman antiquities, for Consuegers was the carsebrum or contaburum of ancient history. Previous to the floods the old town presented usy aspect. Now on every side are terrible ns of destruction. The rumbling of the death carts grates horribly upon the ear as those ghastly vehicles pass slowly from house to house, from street to street, gathering a body here and a body there, heaping them upon others already poisoning the air about these equipages of the dead and then convey- ing their sickening loads to the common trenches dug for their reception. THE SURVIVORS. The survivors of the flood asa rule stand in groups about the ruins of their former homes or about the places where they were accus- tomed to earn their daily bread, and moans and cries of anguish arise from the men and Litter wailing from the women and children as they witness the departure, in those horrible deal carts, of their loved ones on the way to the public burying grounds. ‘The streets everywhere are torn up, washed out and filled with all kinds of wreckage, prin- cipally furniture, the remains of down-stricken dwellings and domestic goods of all descrip- tions. Human remains, stray limbs, headless trunks are sometimes seen to be protruding fron heaps of mud-covered wreckage and half con- cealed thereby, but painfully visible to the in- habitants of that severcly virited town. DEFIM OF THE FLOOD. The depth of the flood at Consuegers can be gauged from the fact that the water rose six- teen feet in the Church of St.John the Baptist. An cstimate made of the damage to property in aud about Consuegers places the loss at $2,500,000, not including the money and valu- ables buried everywhere in the ruins of that until recently happy and prosperous Spanish town. ‘The survivors of thejdisaster are only able to give vague and confused accounts of the riso and onward sweep of the flooding weter which wrought such deadly havoe. They say, however, that though the river was noticed to be rising rapidly no serious ap- prehension was felt until the waters seemed to make a sudden rush forward, threat- ening to overwhelm and eventually de- stroy everything. Then came a wild race for life, the people flying in all directions in hope of escaping the death which seemed certain to overtake them. ‘Mauy climbed upon the roofs of their houses, hoping by so doing to escape, but the buildings gave way beneath them as the sudden ‘waters swept through the town consigning hundreds to death in the wreckage-laden stream. Numbers of people were tobe seen struggling in the mud-colored water, clinging to planks, beams, pieces of furniture, trees—anything they could lay hold of that would sustain them above water, and so they struggled from place to place until they cither reached secure refuge or sank exhausted to rise no more. Some families were cooped up in their rooms and in danger of being drowned without possibility of eseape, but some of them managed to reach places of safety through the collapse of their dwellings, the gaping walls opening a way to safety to the terrified. Some idea of the force of the rushing waters can be gathered from the fact that the flood bastily lifted from the ground the etire frame- work of a good-sized suburban residence and Jcarried it almost as it was taken up |for eight miles. ‘There are numbers of other and similar instances of the strength and depth of the flood which has plunged thousands into’ mourning, and impov- crithed an entire country side. ‘Twenty-seven dead bodies have been found in one dwelling house. ie THE ST. LOUIS CONVENTION. Representatives of Farmers and Laborers and Editor Macune. Sr. Lovrs, Sept. 16.—The farmers’ and labor- ers’ convention reassembled this morning at 10 o'clock. The first order of business was the question on the resolutions #hich were up yé terday and they were carried by a good ma- jority. An effort to make the yole unanimous revealed two negative voters who did not relish the resolution censuring Macune. ‘The committee on permanent organization, with W. Poik Yeaman as chairman, then made |its report. It provides for the appoint- {ment ‘of a committee of seven, which is authorized to submit to the next supreme | council, which meets at Indianapolis in Novem- ber, the objections of this convention to cer- tain parts of the demands which were adopted by the supreme council at the Ocala conven- von; also that the committee be author- ized to file the unalterable and undying ob- jections of this convention to the passage of any resolutions whatever pinning the individnal membership of the alliance toany political course of action and “we hereby protest against such action of any previous miceting infringing upon the individual political rights of any member of the order.” pis nine ENOL LITTLE TRADING IN WHEAT. Various Cable Reports Send Prices Up and Down, Cutcaco, Sept. 16.—Trading in wheat was rather light today. The early cables were bearish, and this fact was reflected in a lower opening here.

Harney, manager of the Golden Gate woolen mills, who was stand- ing on the rear platform of the last ear of the express, was killed. A disregard of flag rules led to the accident. Boycotting an Undertaking. Kaxeas Cry, Mo., Sept. 16.—J. M. Knight, an undertaker of Topeka, has begun suit against the Kansas Undertakors’ Trust for $100,000 for boycotting him. Knight started in business recently in defiance of the trust, which limite the number of undertakers in the state to one for every 10,000 inhabitants. FLOWER 18 NOMINATED.

We believe that all e: reve- nues should belong to the treasuries of the localities under whose authority licenses are issued. We are opposed to all sumptuary lawleg- islation that neediessly interferes with the per- sonal liberty or reasonable customs of the pecple. We favor the largest liberty for the indi- vidual citizen consistent with the public wel- fare. Wo demand an extension of clectoral reform, with a view to preventiag the profuse expenditure of money by candidates and polit- ical committees, but we resolutely oppose any effort to hamper or restrict the constitutions! privilege of manhood suffrage, and we cou- gratulate the people of the state by the per- sistent efforts of u democratic governor, sus- tained by the democrats in the legislature in defense of this principle, there has been at last wrested fconi arrepablican, lagiala tice by force of public seutsment a genuine electoral reform Jaw. We favor a revision of the tax laws whereby personal and corporate property shal be made to bear its full and just burdens. favor a coutinuauce of the policy which secks to improve the canal systems of the state and maintain its oficiency. The interests of labor should be fostered by proper and necessury legislation. Honest workingmen and workingwomen’ should be protected from competition with convict labor. Ve favor legislative provision for a proper ex- hibit from this state at the world’s Columbian exposition to be held in Chicago in 1893, and we eee commend the measure to secure that object which was passed by the democratic assembly last, spring, but which « republican senate with surprising reluctance after its suc- cossful efforts to locate the fair in Chicago re- fused toenact. This country has always been the refuge of .the oppressed from every land— exiles for conscience sake—and in the spirit of founders of our government we condemn the oppression and expulsion practiced by the Rus- sian government upon its Jewish citizens, and we call upon our government in tho interest of Justice and humanity, by all just and proper Meane to show its prompt aud best efforts to bring about a cessation of theee cruel persecu- tions in the dominions of the czar and insure to the oppressed equal rights. HILL INDORSED. Sixth—We heartily indorse the able and statesmanlike administration of Gov. Hill dur- ing his several ycars as the chief oxecutive of the state. He haa resolutely maintained the principles of the democracy and he faithfully contended for the interests of the people. He haa ably resisted the aggressions of the succe: sive republican legislatures, whose object has been only partisan advance, and he has been a firm and unrelenting foe to vicious and corrupt legislation. lu his administration of state af- faire he has tried the intelligent and conscien-, tious co-operation of his democratic associates in the state departments. Their joint efforts have put the state practically out of debt and left a generous surplus in the treasury. Efficiency and economy have marked their official records. We respectfully submit that this faithful discharge of responability justifics a continuance of the trust imposed in the dem- ocratic party, of which they have been true representatives. THE PLATFORM QUIETLY RECEIVED. ‘The reading of the platform was received very quictly. The silver plank was grected with applause and Gov. Hill's name was also applauded. ‘he platform was unanimously adopted. Mr. Canter of New York offered a resolution wel- coming the colored fellow citizen to the ranks of democracy aud viewing with gratification his growing friendly attitude toward the party. It was adopted unanimously NOMINATION OF CANDIDATES. Mr. Gilroy of New York moved amid ap- plause that the convention proceed to the nomination of candidates for governor. The motion was carried, and Wilbur F. Porter of Watertown rose to nominate Roswell P. Flower. He spoke from his seat. He sais “Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the con- vention: The democracy of the state at their primaries and district gatherings, with a una- nimity rarely equaled, have pronounced their choice of the person whom they desire to be made their leader by the delegates to this con- vention. In accord with that expressed pref- erence am commissioned by the democracy of Jefferson county to present to this body of representative democrats the name of Roswell P. Flower for their approval and nomination for the high office of governor of the state of New York. % ‘Mr. Flower was born in Jefferson county. His bare-foot days of buyhood and early vears of manhood wy birth, where hé“till has large business intere: and his summer home, while in fact now, and for years, a resident of New York city. Jeffer son county still clingy to him as her own. This has given to our county tne greet honor and high privilege of presenting him to this con- vention. If nominated it comes to him the merited gift of the democracy without his secking. “Mr. Flowor isa self-made man. His suc- cess in business, his goo cse and experience in the affairs of state andthe record he ha made for himself in the national legislature farnish sufficient proof of his ability to guard the interests of the state and its people. He is above all an penser ges, having.an abundance of good common seme, which is the best quali- fication for the discharge of public duty, a democrat of broad and conscrvativs views, under all circumstances loyal to his party, trae to his word, free from the entanglements he is both capable and avail- of party faction: able. “Democrats of New York, the Flower I offer if chosen will not wither or fade in the fire and smoke of battle.” ENTHUSIASM FOR FLOWER. Mr. Porter's speech was loudly applauded. At its conclusion John R. Fellows, on behalf of New York city, seconded the nomination and said the enthusiasm with which Mr. Flower's name wos received left no doubt of the acclaim with which it would be received throughout the state. He briefly reviewed Mr. Flower's carcer and especially referred to his efforts in Con- greas in behalf of the world’s fair in New York. One of the issues to be made in the comin; campaign was that New York had been depri of that great boon. He eulogized Mr. Flowe: charity and public spirit. Ho wgs, indeod, the Flower of our manhood. ‘Tammany represented the democracy and the people. He hoped the “surly temper” would give way to harmony. [Fiaes and jeers.] He supposed this was the first exhibition of the surly temper.” He appealed to all to put the interest of the party and of the country upper- most. Mr. Catlin of Kings took the platform and enid that Kings county had fnever bolted the ticket, and this camp-meeting oratory was un- necessary. He eulogized Mr. Chapin and re- ferred to Mr. Flower as under suspicion of being a doodle cundidate. —[Hisses.) ‘this was the republican view. ‘The party ought not to nominate subject to criticism bythe enemy. A candidate identi- fied with large financial transactions was looked upon askance by the masses. ‘the size of a barrel ought not to control the choice of the convention. Chapin bad demonstrated his vote-gaining power before and was stronger now than ever. THE ROLL CALL. J.D. McMahon of Oneida spoke for Flower and the roll call was then begun. Flower had everything until Kings county was reached. ‘The 36 votes of that county wore cast for Chapin. Then the Flower votes began again. Queens county cast four for Chapin and two for Flower. ‘The roll call resulted: Flower, 334; Chapin, 42. ‘There was applause. Chairman Adams of Kings county moved to make the nomination unanimous. There was great cheering. The convention stood, everybody yelled and waved his hat. ‘The band played “Hail to the Chief” and cheers were given for Kings county. Mr. Adams said his motion was the result of a meeting of the Kings county delegation this morning. Renewed cheers. Gen. Catlin seconded the motion and it was carried without dissent. . BALLOTING FOR THE NOMINATION.

Secretary Tracy has made publi ment reepecting the policy of the partment in strengthening the United States naval force in Chinese waters. With the ves- sels now on their way there will be six vessel on the China station, thus making by far the most efficient if not the largest squad- ron we have had at the station for years. The new ships have not been assigned to China, because those of 3,000 tons or over are not as available f2¢ the protection of the Amer- ican missions and our other interests in China as smaller vessels of lighter draft. Two gun boats of about 1,000 tons, designed for this service, are well on their way toward comple- tion. “If, however, American missions and American citizens in China are to rely upon gun boats for their protection, rather than upon the Chinese government, the fleet in these waters must be largely increased. The department has also been unable tg send new ships to the Asiatic waters on account of the dificulties which have attended their proper equipment up to the present time. Since 1889 the department has transferred from the Atlantic to the Pacific the Baltimore, Lancaster, Alliance and Pensacola, which, to- gether with the Petrel and Yorktown, recently ordered tothe Pacitic, would make in all six vessels. Of the new ships the Pacific now has the San Francisco, the Charleston and Balti- more and will have the Yorktowr and Petrel. ‘The naval force today on the Pacific is more than twice as effective as a military force as it has been any previous time in the history of our navy. : ee ME, PAUL STILL ON THE STAND, tate- He is Examined ther About Values of Land. After the noon recess today Mr. Paul's cross- examination before the Rock Creek Park ap- praising commission was continued. He said that there had been several consulta- ions between Messrs. G. Truesdell, L. M. Saunders and himself; that one was held on Sunday and was not a called meeting. Mra. Truesdell’s land, he said, had an ascent of 15 to 25 per cent and the rise was at the back. On crosé-examination by Mr. Maddox Mr. Paul said that the Columbia Heights lots had been sold at 10 cents per foot, and since come had sold for 25 cents up to $1. Holmead Manor had increased about 100 per cent ina year. He knew nothing of Ingleside, Eslin's or Mount Pleasant, excepting that there had been & great advance on account of the asphalt pave- ment and thecable road. In estimating on the Rosemont lots he compared them with some of his property in Whitney Close near the Schuetzen Park and not with Mount Pieasant. At Rosemont he eaw but little level land. Pages land was not in his judgement sus- ceptible of advantageous subdivision. On Rose- mont avenue a house could be built at each end and have a garden between them. M. Paul “he would put the ends at $2,500, allowing nothing for tne balance. “Why,” asked Mr. Maddox, “don't you in- quire as to the Rosemont sales?” ‘Mr. Paul. “I will sell better lots in Whitney Close for 10 or 15 cents per foot and nearer the city.” Mr. MeKenney, for the Brown tract (17), cross-examined Mr. Paulas to this tract, and he said that there was much more level land there than he thought. ————— ‘The Keystone National Bank.

From the time when Tur Stan received and posted a bulletin last night giving the verdict of the Hains’ murder trial, but little else beside that verdict has been talked of in the city. Usually, in cases of so much importance, there is strong ventiment both for and against the accused and when a legal conclusion is reached one faction rejoices. The expressions which have been generally uttered since yesterday evening were based upon surprise and not a few of them were tinged with indignation. Warm as some of the comments were they were pleasant when compared with the remarks of the father of the deceased, who arrived hore this morning from Fort Monroe. Mr. Hannegan was very em- phatic and bitter in his denunciation of the verdict and the means which he claimed were used to bring it about. Senator Voorhees, who was aasociated with the prosecution, was by no means anxious t talk to Tae Sram reporter, who sought and found him this afternoon. He finally said “The trial of # for the murder of Han- negan wasa mere farce, so far as arriving at justice was concerned. Since the celebrated trial of Matt Ward in Kentucky—for the killing | of Butler, the teacher, in Louisville—I do not believe a jury bas ever been more carefully selected with a view to ite verdict than the ono at Hampton. It*was but a little while after they were «worn until I was informed that one of the jurors had been in the | habit of visiting the prixoner in the jail and playing cards with him. He bad answered how- ever, that he had no formed opinion and as the commonwealth had no peremptory challenge he took his seat. I constantly learned other things of a similar tendency, but not quite so | gross in character, until I had not the slightest idea when I left Fortress Monroe last evening | that there would be a verdict of guilty.
