Strength Shown in the Conventions Held Yesterday. From the New Yerk Sun. BUFFALO, October 16.—The American Protective Association sustained two de- feats and achieved a number of victories in the republican conventions today. It re- quired the exercise of all the manifold re- sources of the republican machine to de- feat the plan of that organization to pre- vent the nomination of Daniel J. Kenetick for district attorney. The A. P. A.’s second defeat was encoun- tered in the convention which nominated a candidate for Congress from the thirty- second district to succeed Daniel N, Lock- ‘he A. PB. A. elected one-third of tes, sufficient, 11 was thought, to n the deieat of Rowland’ B. Mahany, ex-minister to Ecuador, a_ bril- hant young protege of James G_ Siaine. Mr. Mahany js a Wrotestant, but he is asso- ciated with Father Croning in editing che Catholic: Union and Times, and is Known as a bitter foe of the A. BP. A, After he had been nominated one of his followers Introduced a resulution denoune- ing the A. P. A, The chairman, who was | also a Mahany man, declared the resolution carried without asking for a yea and nay vote, The A. P. A. made Its influence felt in regard to the other candidates. iy its dic- tation not a single Catholic was named the city ticket. Mr. Ke k is the only Catholic on the county ticket. The oman Catholic candidates for member ef assem- bly were defeated in all the districts, and in two of the districts men known to be aifillated with thé A. P, A. were chosen. At the caucuses for ward officers tonight these victories were repeated. Alderman William K. Williams, representing the ward which embraces the swell part of the city and is the republican stronghold, was de- feated by a large majority because he had | refused to join the organize tion and as ciated with a number of Roman Catholic politicians. Over half of the aldermanie nominations were dictated by the A. P. A, The growth of this order in Buffalo and its manner of operations will be made subject of a series o} A. uccomp a the | ticles in the Catholic | Union and Times. ‘The first will appear in Thursday's issue. These articles have been | carefully compiled, and give full sta from official sources, The infcrmation has been gathered for a period covering two years, and the paper $s in possession of de- talled reports of the meetings of all the lodges of the order for six months past. It finds there are twenty-two lodges in Buffalo, with a total membership up to date of 4,976. cee HABEAS CORPUS FOR HOWARD.

In his application for the writ of habeas corpus Howard tells of the engagement in London by Mr. Morton, and his coming to Rhineciiff, substantially as the story has already been told.

Good Behavior of the Troops While Protecting the Matis During th Chicago Strike. The annual report of Maj. Gen. Miles, commanding the military department of the Missouri, made public yesterday after- noon, gives a brief but exceedingly interest- ing account of the important happenings at Chicago and at other places in this great military department during the past year. In reference to the railroad strike Gen. Miles says: “In addition to removing and expelling intruders in the Choctaw nation, and from the Osage and Kaw Indian reservations, the troops stationed at Forts Reno, Sill and Supply were called on for the purpose of protecting the United States mails, guarding railroad bridges and supporting the United States marshal in making arrests. All of these difficult duties have been performed in @ manner which shows good Judgment and discretion on the part of the officers, and a good state of discipline and faithful service on the part of the troops, and it is believed that but for their prompt intervention much bloodshed would have resulted. The troops having quickly and efficiently accomplished the arduous duties assigned to them, have been withdrawn from the field and returned to their respective stations. “The conduct of the troops in restoring order and confidence, where mob violence and a reign of terror existed in Chicago, was marked by great forbearance, fortitude and excellent discipline, and their presence and action here very greatly contributed to the maintenance of civil law, and, in my opinion, saved this country from a serious rebellion, when one had been publicly de- clared to exist by one most responsible for its existence. Brief History of the Strike. An appendix to the report is contributed by Capt. J. M. Lee, ninth infantry, assist- ant to the inspector general, in the shape of a brief history of the strike movements at Chicago. “Throughout all says Capt. Lee, the troops were so pronounced that even their presence overawed the turbulent and lawless, and won from every reputable, law- abiding citizen, whether laboring man or capitalist—and every newspaper without ex- ecption—the highest encomiums and the expressions of gratitude from all warme: who were not in sympathy with anarchy, arson and piilage. Say that a very large share of the difficult, delicate and dangerous duty fell to the. lot of the fifteenth infantry, and the patience, energy and fearlessness regiment performed its onerous task is an addition to its splendid record, of which | any regiment might well feel proud. This regiment, in the past two years, has been subject to undeserved abuse by some of the Chicago papers, but now that It has con- tributed so largely to saving this great city from arson and pillage; now that the regi- ment So successfully passed through the crucial test, in presence of its whilom detractors, its high merit seems to be prop- erly recognized, said in its praise.” — +e PARIS AND THE KAISER, Views of Frenchmen About the Ger- man Emperor's Proposed Visit.

A woman named Mrs. Clarence Robinson, who is in jail at Buffalo, has confessed to having killed Montgomery Gibbs there last April. This was a most mysterious affair, The only clue was a woman's footprint in the ground near the scene. The story that Mrs. Robinson told was that she and her husband were variety theatrical people and being in great need of money planned to hold-up some well- to-do citizen for the same. They selected a block on Delaware avenue which is un- usually long and heavily shaded with trees. They walked up and down here until they saw Gibbs coming. They stationed them- selves in the Van-Vleck driveway, which ts lined by a low hedge,and when Gibbs reach- ed the spot they stepped out and demanded his money and valuables. In the scuffle that followed Gibbs was shot. Robinson has confessed, telling the same story. Had the woman remained quiet the mur- derers would not have been discovered, for they were not suspected. Mrs. Robinson ex- plains how the story came out as follows: MURDER. “The story got out through my husband's sister. I was talking with her one day and she said something about my reputation not 'y and I said to her: being goed. I was a!

Officials of the Chinese legation say Americans residing in China will be given ample protection as long as the war exists. The legation shares the feeling expressed in recent cables from Pekin that foreigners have nothing to fear from outbreaks of natives. The newspapers and private ad- vices received at the legation make no men- tion of the extreme disorder and panic at Pekin which the cables reported, and the officials think these reports were unwar- ranted and came through prejudiced chan- nels. It is pointed out that rowdy outbreaks are ikely to occur in war times, but it is stated with positiveness that the Chinese government never has expressed doubt of its ability to control these local outbreaks, as was reported, and that it now assures American and other foreign residents of complete protection. ee Died in a Ru n Prison. The Department of State has been official- ly advised of the death of Kizemenski, the Buffalo insurance man, in a Russian prison, ‘The man on his return to Russia last sum- mer was arrested on a charge of embez- zling funds while a police official in Russia many years before.

Thomas, attorney for the Dis- trict, has rendered an interesting opinion in the matter of the claim of Mary Dabney against the District for $5,000 dam- ages for personal injuries. Mary Dabne claims on November 17, I8us, to have stepped on a loose sewer trap, which tilted, admitting her right leg, which resulted in a broken ankle, or rather a ru lateral ligaments of the ankle joint cording to Dr. Johnson's diagnosis of injuries.
