TURKISH TROOPS CALLED TO ARMS: Gonded to Desperation the Unhappy Subjects of the Porte Muke a Dem= onstration and a Serious Con- flict with the Police Follo CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 2.—Five hun- dred arrests have been made in connection with the recent rioting of Armenians here. The government is greatly alarmed and the garrizon is kept under arme, Trouble among the Armenians of this city has been brewing: for a long time past, the | bitter feeling against the authorities growing stronger as week after week passed without the adoption by the Turkish government of the scheme for reform in Armenia, proposed by the European powers. The long smolde: ing flames of discontent, carefully fanncd by the Armenian agitators, have at last broken out. Finally the Armenians determined at all hazards to make an attempt to present a petition to the sultan vVizier and a large body of Armenians on Monday, marched with this intention toward the palace of the Porte. The authorities, in anticipation of trouble, had stationed a strong guard of police about the palace, and the other buildings were alwo guarded. The arrival of the Armenians at the palace was the signal for s:veral desperate en- counters between them and the police, during | which several Turks and a number of Ar- | menfans were killed or wounded. A con- servative estimate of the affair places the killed at tem, with forty persons severely wounded. In’ addition, as already cabled about 500 arrests were made. Many Ar- menians during the affray were thrown to the ground and severely beaten by the Tur- kish police, after which they were securely bound and’ carted away to prison. One Ar- menian, after having been terribly beaten with a’bludgeon, was shot and killed by a policeman, The rioting was continued almost through- out the remainder of the day and so alarmed the government that the garrison was has- tily ordered under arms and has been so ever since, night and day, the troops being rigorously confined to barracks. The students took an active part irf the rioting. A crowd of the young men during a fight with a squad of police killed two of the Turkish officers and wounded a number of others. The arrests of Armenians went on all day Monday and yesterday and was accompanied by more bloodshed, several Armenians who resisted attempts made to take them into custody being killed while fighting the je- lice. ~ In addition eight Armenians were killed within the precincts of the ministry of police and many others were wounded. The Turks were greatly enraged at the outbreak and threatened vengeance upon the Ar- menians. As a result during the evening of Monday a body of Softas (Mohammedan stu- dents of theology), armed with ugly looking sticks, assembled in a_public square, threat- ening to start out and massacre the Arme- nens, but the authorities hurried several de- tachments of police-to the spot and the Mo- hammedan students were eventually dis- persed. The authorities are doing everything pos- s'ble to belittle the affair, but there is no de- nying that it was a most serious disturb- ance and that more troubls is anticipated. The Turkish government, In its efforts to calm the apprehension experienced on all sides, has sent a_quleting circular to the envoys of the different foreign countries here. At the palace the utmost consternation is said to prevail, and every precaution has be:n taken to suppress further outbreaks upon the part of the dissatisfied Armenians, Owling to this condition of affairs a dinner which was to have been given tonight at the palace in honor of Prince Albert of Schies- wig-Holstein has been countermanded and the French war ship Petrel has postponed her departure. FEARS WELL GROUNDED. The serfous apprehension felt by the Turk- {sh authorities and the precaution taken by them to keep the military force in the gar- rison constantly under arms on account of the fear aroused by the riot precipitated on Mon- day by the Armenians of the city are shown to be amply justified by the further outbreaks which occurred yesterday. The Armenian porters were among those subjected to whole- salo arrest by the Turkish authorities, and they showed resistance to the police and were accordingly killed. It Is only by personal in- vestigation that those seeking news of the disturbance can secure the same, as the lips of all police and govern- ment officials are closed and no reliable in- formation regarding the riot can be had. The Armenian quarter of the city is today de- sertod and quiet as the grave. This is the quarter which presents the greatest anima- tlon, the shops and great bazars attracting throngs of traders. The authorities have closed the shops and peremptorily forbidden the gathering of peo- plo In the streets of the quarter, and to in- rure the observance of this order the streets ara constantly patrolled by military. The guards who are stationed at the Babi Huma- yan (tho High Door or “Sublime Porte”) of the seraglio or sultan’s palace were strongly reinforced vesterday in appreliension of an attempted attack on tne person of the sov- erelgn. Yesterday the carriages which conveyed the ministers of the interior, of foreign affairs and of police to the council, which was con- vened to consider measures for suppressing the disturbance, were pierced with bullets as they passed through the streets, fired from arms in the hands of the insurgents. public officials in the carriages e jury from the flying bullets so far as has boen learncd. Many passersby in the streets were not so fortunate, and the last accounts of the number killed and wounded place it at elghty. TROOPS ARE ON GUARD. The great church of the Patriarchal, situ- ated in the Greek quarter, which was the scene of the first outbreak on Monday, is now surrounded by troops. The Korumpahon quarter s also In a state of siege. With re- gard to the death of Serivete Bey, one of the officers who was killed in Monday's riot at the Patriarchal, the following details learned: It Is alleged that he called the Ar- menfan bearer of the petition which it was sought to present to the grand vizler “Ghaour.” This Is equivalent to saylng “In. fidel dog,” and is the term of opprobrium used by the Turks toward those who do not follow the prophet Mahomet. The Armenian retorted to this and the quarrel increased in heat until the shooting began. The customs office in_the city has been closed during the riots. It is reported that a number of Armenians broke Into the law courts during the disorder and killed two Judges. The murderers wero recognized and Bubsequently arrested. An Armenian cashier employed in the customs department in this city has been assassinated, and this crime, it is believed, was actuated by motives of po- litical revengs JAPAN AND ST ME TO TERMS, Reach o Frie AR nt 0 the Diviston of Pacifie Territo SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2.—As a result of the conferences that have been held between the acting Japanese minlster of foreign affairs and the newly arrived minister of Spain a declaration has been agreed upon, says the Japan Mail, defining the limits of the boundaries betwen the territories of Japan and Spain in the western Paciflie.

LONDON, Oct. 2.—The intense heat which prevailed throughout Great Britain during the past ten days, a state of affairs classed as un- precedented in weather records for this time of the year, culminated yesterday in a sudden drop of twenty-five degrees in temperature. This was followed by a heavy gale, which has alread caused much damage along the coasts. A dispatch from Deal announces that two steamers have been driven ashore on the treacherous Goodwin sands, and the news of other disasters to shipping is constantly being received, A telegram from Iifracombe, on the north coast of Devonshire, at the mouth of the Bristol channel, announces that six would-be life savers have been drowned while attempt- Ing to rescue the crew of thu ketch Arabella, which went ashore in a dangerous position oft that coast. Several vessels are reported as being ashore on the Gore sands. Their crews have been | rescued by life savers. On the Somersetshire coast there have been several exciting rescues, and in Bridge- water bay a steam tug, after a long battle with the waves, sank near the shore, drown- | Ing her engineer, who stuck to his post to | the last. The remaining wembers of the tug's crew succeeded in swimming ashore, A telegram from Southport states that |1t s feared that ceveral fishing boats be- longing to that place have been lost during the gale of z=t night. | /A dispatch from Blackpool announces that thre fishing smacks hailing from that port | foundercd during the night, and in spite of the efforts which the lifeboat men made to assist them, five of the fishermen were drowned. The coasting steamer Bulldog was driven ashore on the Berrow flats, where the crew was rescued. Dispatches received here from Liverpool say that the gale there was accompanied by a blinding rain and that a nunber of ships on the river Mersey displayed signals-of distress, The same state of affairs is reported from { other parts of the country, and all along the coasts the life boatmen were kept busy throughout the night. They succeeded in saying many lives. Dispatches from various points show that many ships in distress were deserted by their crews. The full extent of the ravages of the gale will naturally not be known for some days to come, but there is no doubt that the shipping interests have suffered considerably. No damage to American shipping has been reported up to the present. Later in the day a dispatch was recelved from Southport saying that the bark Latonia, bound from Preston for Florida with a cargo of timber, was ashore near there. Life boats were promptly sent to her as- sistance, and the Latonia’s crew was taken off in safety. Numerous ocher wrecks are reported from the Bristol channel and other points along the west coast of England. Altogether nineteen steamships and large sailing vessels smaller craft are repor to have been lost. Al- en lives are known to be lost, it that many more sailors and fishermen have lost their lives, as the coasts of Devonshire and Somersetshire are strewn with wreckage. and twenty-seven d LONDON, Oct. 3.—Further reports of the damage by the great gale add six to the number of persons known to have been drowned and six to the wrecks that have oc- curred, making the total lives thus reported lost twenty-four, and the total of vessels known to have been wrecked, forty-nine. WAS A SEVERE BLOW TO0 SPAIN. Loss of the Cruiser Cristobal Colon Not Due (o the Insurgents. MADRID, Oct. 2.—The news of the loss of the Spanish cruiser Cristobal Colon off the western coast of Cuba, was received here yesterday exclusively through the agencies of the Associated press, and has caused a profound sensation, following as it did so closely upon the loss of the cruiser Barcaste- gul. Official news has since been received here confirming the Associated press story of the loss of the vessel, but adding nothing to what has already been published. The Cristo- bal Colon will prove to be a total loss. The Spanish minister of marine, Admiral Beran- ger, has ordered that a careful inquiry be made into the causes of the disaster, .nd that all the reports in the case be forwarded to Spain as soon as possible. The rumor that the cruiser was sunk by agents of the insurgents is classed as being absurd, and everything tends to show that there is no doubt that the Cristobal Colon was driven ashore at night during heavy weather, and that she was abandoned the next morning by her commander and crew, as fully detailad in the exclusive dispatch from ed press.

Riot, Disorder and Stuffed Ballot Boxen the Prominept Features. CHICAGO, Oct. 2.—The repub'ican primaries in this city today were marked by the most disreputable and brutal methods on the part of the contending city and county factions. The thugs ruled the day. The most dis- gusting scenes were In the First, Second, Third, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Ninth, Tenth, Thirtcenth, Twenty-third, and Thirtieth wards, where ballot boxes were stolen, poll- ing booths wrecked in numerous instances, and the judges of election driven from their posts. In the Rirst ward gangs of toughs kept the ward in a reign of terror from the time the polls were open until they closed. Nearly every polling place in the ward was raided by the gang, which was working for the city faction. Barricades erected by the county faction were broken down, ballot boxes were seized and the city faction held possession during the remainder of the day. In other words similar disgraceful scenes wero witnessed, S0 far as can be learned,no- body was killed at the primaries, but scores of persons were more or less injured. In tough districts decent citizens remained away from the primarles, not caring to imperil their lives by attempting to vote. At a late hour tonight the returns indicate that the county federation (anti-Swift) will have a majority of abont sixty in tomorrow's convention. The prospects are that the ses- sion tomorrow will be a hot one. —_— Western Land Decislon WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Secretary Smith today rendered de- cisions in the following land cases: Nebraska —Willlam Dacy against Patrick O'Connell, Chadron dist Decislon of commissioner | aMrmed.

Chase of Omaha, and said: ‘“Gentlemen of this convention: I return my thanks for this honor. It is expected that our action will be cautious, conservative and sincere, and thus command the respect of the people. This convention is now open.” Ex-Governor Hubbard of Texas spoke from 1 o'clock until 1:30. His speech was full of statistics, presented in a graphical and in- teresting manner, covering the deep water agitation and its results and prospects. The burden of the talk was for cheaper mall rates to the gulf and by the aid of deep water harbors a closer relation with South American commerce, At the close he paid a touching tribute to southern heroes and brought tears to the eye of Senator Vest and many old soldiers of both sides in the Clark, J. Bar- audience as he said: “We liked Lee. We revere his memory. You northern people do not have to; we cannot help it.”” The speech was enthusiastically received and by the friends of deep water regarded as a masterly oration in thought, substance and delivery. At the close of Hubbard’s speoch a number of resolutions were offered and all referred to the committee which Is to report late this afternoon or evening. These resolutions cover sympathy with Cuba, favor the Nie- arzguan canal and a north and south railroad. Bane of Texas introduced a resolution favor- ing an finteramerican exposition, to be held at some Texas point in 1897, the place to be decided on by a committee. The candidates for this place are supposed to be Galveston, Belasco, Sabine Pass and Aransas P: The conventlon then adjourned till 2:30 this afternoon. On the reassembling of the conference L.

HORSEWHIPPED n-‘ HUSRAND, Young Pabst Publicly Trounecd by Mis Actress Wi MILWAUKEE, Oct. 2—Mrs, Gustay Pabst, formerly Margaret Mather, the actress, cre- ated a sensation near Twentyéninth and Cedar streets this afternoon by horsewhip- ping her husband, a son of the wealthy brewer. What was the cause of the trouble no one seems to know, but numerous resi- dents In the vicinity who were witnesses to the altercation, which begam in a buggy, in which the couple were riding, say that just about noon, when Mr. and M Pabst w e about to turn on to Cedar street toward their home, Mrs. Pabst grabbed the wuip from the tocket, and, doubling it, struck Pabst full in the face. Pabst jumped out of the buggy and started down the street. Tae woman drove the horse to a pest, hitched it and followed her husband, overtaking him a block away, where she struck him four times in the faith, Young Pabst then wrenched the whip from her hands and threw it away. But the one-sided battle was by no means ended, for she then clenched her fist and planted a blow from the shoulder square on his nose. Then Pabst moved on at a rapid pace, the woman following, both entering their home together on Cedar street. Tue affair took place in a fashionable part of the city and was witnessed by a large number of people. Gustav Pabst and Margaret, Mather were married in November, 1892, but the wedding was kept secret for several manths, creating a great sensation when it Anally became known. The bride soon after left the stage and has since lived quietly with her husband in this city. Friends of the touple give no explanation of the trouble and Pabst could not be found tonight. The hore was a‘lowed to stand where it was hitched pntil 3 o'clock in the afterncon, when PaB#¥'s coachman took it away. Mrs, Pabst was seen at lier home this evening, after repeated attempts by re- porters. She sald it was all g “cruel, cruel falsehood.” ) Young Pabst has disappeared, but his father and other friends were out among the newspaper offices tonight and visiting correspondents, trying to have e story sup- pressed. One of them said that the horse- whipping was done “only in a fit of temper;" that there was nothing back of the quarrel and that Mr. and Mrs. Pabst had always lived peacefully together since thelr marriage. At midnight Captain Fred Pabst and his son, Gustav, called at all of {he newspaper offices and denfed emphaticaily that there was any truth in_the horsewhipping story. Colonel Gustav Pabst said: “My wife did not strike me. There was no altercation and there is absolutely no truth in the story.”” — OPPOSED TO PROSCRIPTION. Massachusetts Democrats Denocunce the A P.

Beglnning of Trienn the Protestant Epixe MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 2.~%he thirty. triennial convention of the Protestant Epis- copal Church of America wah begun at 11 o'clock this morning with a solemn cere- monial. At the appointed hour the house of bishops gathered at Knickertiocker memorial hall and formed for the spegtacular proces- sional, with which the service was to be opened. First came the surpliced choir of Gethsemane church, then Secretary Hutch- ins of the house of deputies and Secretary Hart of the house of bishops, accompanied by Rev. J. J. Faude, rector of Gethsemane. The long line of bishops, clad in their rich vestments and degree hoods, appeared, headed by Bishop F. R. Millsbaugh of Kansas, the junior bishop, his apostolie brethren follow- ing in the order of their consecration, and the rear being brought up by Bishop Whip- ple of Minneapolis, the sefior bishop and hence the presiding officer.. With Bishop Whipple in the places of horor were the vis- iting Canadian bishops. Arriving at the church fhe head of the procession halted and permitied Bishop Whip- ple and his coleagues in order of senlority to pass through first. Only elght bishops en- tored within the rail. On tha lft with Bishop Whipple were the archbishop of Rupert's Land, the bishop of Sakatehewan and Bishop Tuttle of Maine. On the right were Bishop Coxe of New York, Bishop Neely of Maine, Bishop Gilbert of Minnesota and the bishop of Sakatchewan. An elaborate musical serv- ice was rendered by the Gethsemane choir, and the sermon was preached by Rt. Rev. Arthur Cleveland Coxe, bistop of western New York. Bishop Coxe preached on “The Catholic Religlon for the American' People,” from Acts xi, 26, “The diciples were called Chrisilans far in Antioch’" He sketched graphically the spread ef Ghristianity from Antloch around the globe, and maintained that of all Catholic churches, God had made the Anglician communion the truest represen- tatives of the Antioch Christtans who, if liv- ing today, would find nothing new or strange in the liturgical rites of the ehurch. The house of deputles amd the house of bishops, which together make up the gen- eral conventlon of the Eplacopal church, are now ready for business, having effected an organization this eveming.

For Justice of the Supreme Court— T. L. NORVAL, Seward For Regents of the State University— €. H. MORRILL, Lincoln H. L. GOULD, Ogalalla LINCOLN, Oct. 2.—(Special.)—Though small in area it was a sea of faces which con- fronted Chairman Morrill when he called to- gether the republican state convention at 2: | . m., It was by far the largest congregation that had, so far this season, adsembled as represcatatives of the state to nominate can- didates for supreme judge and regents of the State university. Delegates to the number of 800 were seated by ticket and the view of the audience was unobstructed by a forest of poles designating the locality of the various delegations. Bal- cony and gallery were crowded. Standing room was only available at the rear of the ball and that was scanty. The stage at the rear of the chalrman’s table was packed. There were 400 chairs and all were filled. Chalrman Morrill, upon calling together fifth state convention held this fall, invited Rev. E. P. Chapin to offer divine invocation. This was followed by a number pleasingly rendered by the York Glee club, in which the pretensions of populists and democrats were flercely satirized, the burden of which ran to the effect that the republican party was on the eve of coming Into its own. It was, algo, interpolated with frequent allusions to the populari‘y of Justica Norval. Secretary Tim Sedgwick then read the call for the convention, stating in substance the object, which was to nominate one candidate for supreme judge and two regents of the State university, and to transact such other business as might come before it. Prefacing the introduction of Hon. John L. Webster, Chairman Morrill sald that he joined with all delegates before him in hailing the near advent of republicans into power. The smoke of factories starting up was a harbinger of the good time on the way WHAT MR. WEBSTER SAID. Mr. Webster sald that the republicans al- ways stood upon one platform without dis- sensions or side issues. The party represented by the delegates before him always protected the workingman and believed in the motto of “America for Americans,” a statement that was received with the wildest applause of the sesslon. The democrats had presented us with a depleted treasury and were now selling bonds at a ruinous rate of interest. The republicans, on coming into power, would stop the outflow of American gold and again begin paying off the national debt. One bantling brought forth by the demo- cratic party o raise money was the income tax. But the greatest judiclal tribunal in the land had cut off the head of this bantling and declared it illegal. The democrats had, also, many of them, gone over to the heresy of free silver, and though the populists tried to father it, the democrats were equally gullty. With the incoming of the republican party would come a dawn of prosperity. The time was surely coming. It was on the way. And the republican party was dedicated to the best interests of the people. It would, when reaching power, extend a helping hand to the straggling isle of Cuba. And had the republicans been in power, the American flag would be now floating over the Hawalian is- lands. The speaker sald that he would not longer detain the members of th> convention from their work, and Matt Daugherty nominated W. H. Harrison of Grand Island as tem- porary secretary, who was promptly elected. Delegate Snyder moved, and the motion was sustained, that no committee on credentials be named, but that those who had filed their credentials with the secretary of the central committee be admitted delegates with- out further question. The temporary or- ganization was then made permanent and a committee of seven, one from cach congres- sional district and one from the state at large, was appointed as a commlttee on res- olutions. On motion of George Thummel of Grand Island it was decided that all res- olutions be submitted to the committee with- out reading. This smothered the anti-A, P. A. resolution of Delegate D. C. Courtney. Chairman Webster named as committee on platform J. E. Frick, George Thummel, A. W. Field, J. D. Pope, A. Teft, Wil Gurley and James Peters. On motion it the was resolved to add to the committee on plat- form the name of Aaron Wall of Loup City. C. A. Atkinson of Lincoln moved, and was sustained, that the convention proceed to the nomination of candidates under the call without nominating speeches. NORVAL BY ACCLAMATION.. Delegate Collins of Pawnee moved that tho rules be suspended and Judge Norval be nominated by acclamation. It was carried amlid wild applause, and the chief justice was escorted to the platform. In his speech of acceptance he said that while a nomination to the supreme bench was a high honor, it was doubly so coming as it did with such unanimity. He accepted by pledging that he accepted as a republican and his conscience and oath of office should ever be his only guides. Delegate Atkinson alko moved, same terms, the unanimous renomination of C. H. Morrill of Lincoln for the regency. In accepting Mr. Morrill pledged his best efforts to the interests of the State univer- sity, which now stood forth in the list of great universities. For candidate for regent to succeed J. L. H. Knight of Creighton, J. S. Hogan nomi- nated H. L. Gould of Ogalalla, and Delegate Reinncker of Gage nominated J. B. Weston. W. H. Reese of Richardson was also named. A ballot was proceeded with, which soon de- veloped the fact that H. L. Gould was largely In the mafority, and at the conclusica of the ballot Douglas county changed its fitty-eight votes from Weston to Gould, others following, and on motion the nomiuatlon was made uninimous. Chairman Morrill then announced that, as the principal business of the convention was over, the state central committee had pre- pared a feast. He introduced Senator John M. Thurston. Senator Thurston sald that repor to the contrary notwithstanding he was still in the land of the living. The republican party had honored him with election to a high office and he owed it to that party not to die until a republican governor could appoint Lis suc- cessor. upon the GREAT YEAR FOR REPUBLICANS. This was a signal year with republicans. They were preparing not only for this fall, but for the greater struggle of 1896. 'I'his was a year when no republican should scratch a republican ticket, and the one who did so should not be recognized as a republican when the latter party came into its own. The re. publicans_and~ democrats had not changed fronts. The same old strife was between them. Some had sald that tho tariff question had been settled, but this was not so. It was not settled and never would be until it was settled right. It must be settled so that an American could carry a dinner pail made of American tin, filled with pumpkin pie bought with American wages. There was no difference among republicans on the money question that could endanger republican suc- cess. That party alone possessed the genius of American statesmanship to settle the money question. For himself he was for bi- metallism on the basis of the equality be- tween two dollars, He would never vote to pay American workingmen in depreciated cur- rency. Never would he vote to allow (he Mexican dollar to be worth more than an American one. The republican party, from sea to sea, from lake to gulf, was the party of the people. The democrats had lald their paralyziug bands on the industries of the country and killed them, dience and retired. Church Howe said that the man who was coming back to the republican parly must be mighty quick about it. The people in the gallery who contemplated comng so would do well to consider this admonition. Tom Majors expressed the opinfon that he was the only man so far presented as a speaker who was in good health. But it re- quired a little defeat to make a man strong and robust. He had had it and knew what he was talking about. But he should remain a republican until eternity came for him Secretary Harrison announced that there would be a jubilee meeting at the opera house in the evening and a torchlight procession. Congressman Mercer was loudly called for and responded. He prefaced his serious remarks with the statement that he had a sort of a Grover front, and it was difficult to see over it. But in doing 5o he saw before him one of the most harmonious conventions he ever witnessed. He could not understand it because in the gallery were a number of the Lancaster dele- gatlon. The speaker sald that in China he had seen five natives doing the work of two Amerlcans, and not receiving as much pay. In Japan he had scen women, men and boys working for an average wage of 14 cents a day. The sewing machine had lately been In- troduced in China, and soon they would competing with Americans. Congressman Mercer sald that he saw sev- eral of these natives sitting around a pail of He thanked his au- rice, dressed in a breech clout and a pair of spectacles. A langh was created when he inquired: “Could you compete with that?" The more we =aw of life in foreign lands the more grew the necessity of enacting a high tariff to keep out foreign competition. If we did not do o we should find ourselves in the soup. The speaker paid a high tribute to the characters of the nominees for re- gents and said that one of them, Mr. Gould, was In favor of cducating children along re- publican lines. BROUGHT IN THE PLATFORM. Chairman Frick, of the committee on plat form, then presented and read the platform. We, the republicans of Nebraska, in con- vention assembled, declare our adherence to the statement of principies and policies adopted by the national republican conven- tlon of 1892 Governed in accordance with these principles and policles, of the nation have prospered, the industries the revenues were always sufficient for the ordinary ex- penses of the government, the veterans of the war for the union, disabled in the service, and the widows and orphans of the dead were liber; provided for, and a greater part of the natlonal debt incurred in the defense of the flag had been paid out of the surpius. The national debt had been established, the currency of the country (amply sectred by a treasury reserve never impaired) was beyond quesilon, and a_de- gree of prosperity attained unéxampled in the history of the nations. But the fallacles of so-called populism having temporarily demoralized the rank of republicanism in ‘its strongholds, the last national election restored the democratic party to power in the exeoutive and legls. ative departments of the government, and “change” immediately appeared. The industries of the nation were paralyzed, financial panic followed, unprecedented for its duration and wide: spread distaster to our commercial and manufacturing interests, its impairment of values of all property and product, and its reduction o a pauper level of the wages of labor. The fears of the people were finally justified by the passage of the Wilson tarift bill, a measure so obnoxious and indefen- sible that a democratic president, pledged to free trade measures, denounced it as an act of perfidy and dishonor, but suffered it to hecome a law without s signature. law, based upon no rccognized principle, fathered by no party platform, that neither protects American industrics nor raises a sufficient revenue to upply the ordinary necessities of the government, that has forced the borrowing of Immense sums of | money on the bonds of the government in a time of profound peace, and the farming out of the functions of the treasury de- partment to a syndicate, controlled by for- elgn capitalists, has once more proven the utter incapacity of the democratic party for administering the affairs of the govern- ment. the results of the The election of a congress last November with an unparalleled republican majority immediately strengthened the national credit, restored, in a great measure, the confidence and 'courage of the people, and revived our languishing industries, and has sigrally vindicated the republican’ policy of protection to home industries and a sound currency. We, therefore, call upon all patriotic peo- ple, {rrespective of former political afiil tions, to join in assisting ‘to bring b prosperity “to the -state and nation 1 enacting protection to American industrie: on the splendid law known as the *“McKinle ** “thereby sccuring an adequate revenue while guarding the Amer- ican market for American products and fur- nishing steady and perma of American labor at Amerl returning to the beneficial system of ‘com- mercial reciprocity with our r Amer- ican republic: ALL KINDS OF ) " BQUAL. Favoring the use of both gold and silver rd money, we oppose all monetary legislation that would result in either gold or silver monometallism, and d the ntenance of a national currency, every dollar of which, whether In gold, silver or paper, shall be of equal value and of equal debt paying or purchasing power. We denounce the democratic national ad- ministration for its supine neglect of Amer- ica inte in its forelgn policy, and its cowardly abandonment of the doctrine of the fathiers of the republic, that guarantees the friendly offices of this government in favor of the independent &tates of the American continents threatened with spoli- ation or conquest by any European power. We most heartily sympathize with the peo- ple of Cuba in’ their desire to attain in- dependence and self-government, and de- mand in case of Spain's attempi to make £00d its threat to wage a war of extermina- tion against them the prompt recognition of the belligerent rights of the Cuban re- public by the United State The republican party, always foremost in the march of progress, recognizes the im- portance of irrlgation {o the people of {he western part of the state, and we pledge the party to the same friendl consideration of future legls hibited toward these interests in the enact- ment of the first general irrlgation law in 1889, and again in 1595, upon its return to power In both houses of the le; ture, when it greatly extended the features of the law of 1889 and fncluded provisions for the organization of irrigation districts.

There was considerabie disorder at this stage of the proceedings, and Chairman Web- ster very properly called the delegates down. Following the reading of the platform the con- vention adjourned. OURTNAY'S RESOLUTION, Following is the anti-A. P. A. resolution submitted by D, Courtnay to the com- mittea on platform, and by them suppressed: Resolved, that the republican party of Ne- braska 1s opposed to secret political or- ganizations and opposed to making religious belief of any kind a qualification for holding public office In the state or nation. While Mr. Courtnay, who was a Lan- caster county delegate, was waiting for action by the committee, he was called away, pro- fessionally to assist in getting a couple of gamblers out of jail, who had just been ar- rested. He sald that could he have re- turned in time he should certainly have it moved the resolution as an amendment to | the platform in open convention, and thus headed oft George Thummel's motion to submit all resolutions without reading. “But," continued Courtnay, “‘the effect for all practical purposes {s the same. I have submitted an anti-A. P. A. resolution and the committce has sat down on It. The com- mitte is the agent of the convention and has expressed ity wishes. The convention stands pledged in favor of A. P. A.lsm. That is all there s to it. 1 should have liked, bowever, to have put each member on record. The reception to Tom Majors was chilly.

DU GRORC The movement for reform in the adminis- tration of public affairs In Omaba, Douglas county and the Fourth judicial district, bore its first fruit yesterday in the nomination of~ Judicial and county tickets by the convention of the Citizens' league held at Washington hall. It was in many respects a remarkable con- vention. There was a marked absence of the ward heclers and political workers who. usually dominate the party conventions. In | their stead were the men who are at the heads of the big business houses of Omaha, the taxpayers and the home owners, who have less interest in the success of parties or parti- sans than in the economical and busines: Ike administration of public affairs. Many of the delegates were never members of & convention before, and the majority were men who have taken less interest in politics. than has been for their own and the publio good. There was no agreed upon program. The delegates were united fn one purpose, the selection of competent and honest men for office, and they were together in the work of the convention for that purpose re- gardless of the politics or creed of the men who were considered as candidates, The convention was called to meet at 2 | o'clock, and at that hour the hall was filled with delegates and the friends of the move- ment, with a liberal sprinkling of spectators from the three political parties. The con- vention was called to order by A. T. Rector, chairman of the Central club of the league, who read the call for the convention. The call provided for the naming of a judicial ticket and a full county ticket. The repre- | sentation was as follows: General officers of the league, eight votes; Central club of th'rty- five with president and secretary, thirty-seven votes; executlve committee, nine votes; seven | delegates from each ward In the city of Omaba, fourteen delegates from Scuth Omaha, and three delegales from each country pres cinct. Mr. Rector stated that there was no ocem~ sion for spaechmaking, as the convention had work enough to Keep its hands full and he wonld proceed to business at once. On behalt of the Central clib he named John S. Kpox as temporary chairman and_the nomination was unanimously carried. Mr. Knox was given a cordial reception when he assumed the duties of presiding officer of the convene tion. He said the convention was composed of business men who had met for a business purpose and he would not detain the dele- gates by talking to them. Ie urged them to use care In the selection of a ticket and pre- dicted that the candidates named by the con- vention would be triumphantly elected in No- vember. Arthur Karbach was named as secretary and George B. Eddy as assistant secretary. There were no contests in any of the wards or precincts and the delegitions handed thejr credentials to the secretary and the enroll- ment was accepted as the list of accredited dclegates to the convention.
