2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1895. ITHACANS ARE BEATEN. Trinity’s Crew Easily Wins the Race With the Americans. TROUBLE AT THE FINISH. Fennell “Catches a Crab ”” and Receives a Blow From His Oar. HIS INJURIES ARE SERIOUS. Manager Francis Says the Accident Will Prevent the Men From Racing Agaln. HENI ON-THE-THAMES, Exa., July 10.—The second day of the Henley regatta opened with fine weather and was marked by a large attendance, many per- sons being present who were detained in London yesterday. The principal feature of the day’s pro- gramme was the trial heats between the Cornell University of Ithaca and Trinity Hall (Cambridge) and New College (Ox- ford) and Eton College for the grand chal- lenge cup, the winners of which will con- test in the final heat for the trophy. The first of these heats (the fourth of the series) was between New College and Eton, and was won by the former by a length and a half. Important as the heat was, it did not engage the attention of the multitude as it once would have done, had there been no international contest in which America Indeed, the interest in the 1me seemed to be centered in 1 Cornell and Trinity After the heat between the eights College and Eton College, the Cor- Trinity crews got ready for their con- test. The interest in this heat was sharpe: v the universal comment upon yeste: fiasco in the heat match be- tween Cornell and Leander. It was thought the sharp diversion of opinion as tothe justice of Corn retaining the heat it had won unopposed yesterday would spur the Ithaca boys to efforts to- day which would show conclusively that the result wouid have been the same if the Leander boat had started. But they showed nothing of the kind, for the Trinity men beat them with the greatest of ease. ere was not nearly as strong a wind to-day off the Bucks shore, but the position of the Trinity boat on that side was still worth something. Mr. Wiliand again acted as umpire. There was no mistake in sending the crews off. On the word *‘go’’ Cornell went off, pulling twenty-four strokes for the first half minute and forty-six for the minute. Trinity Hall rowed only twenty- one strokes for the hali minute and forty. two for the minute. Cornell immediatel, took a slight lead. and at the end of the first furlong was only a few feet to the good. own style—a s commented upon le that has been widely The style of the crew was a great contrast to that of the Americans. Their stroke was lon; Their body form was not as good, though they swung much more. At the upper end of Temple Island Cor- nell was still the same distance in front. Here the cheering for Trinity was enthusi- , but it did not enable the men of that w to wrest the advantage from the Cor- nell boys, who led bya tnfle and who were increasing inch by inch until at the quarter-mile mark they had still more in- creased their lead, and with this advantage bad reduced their stroke to forty-four per minute. Almost imperceptibly they im- proved their position, rowing with the reg- ularity of a perfect piece of machinery and at the end of the next quarter of a mile they had increased their lead to a length. At the hali-mile distance mark (the Faw- ley Court boathouse) Cornell led by halfa length, and it seemed as ihough they woultl win without doubt. But suddenly there came a change. About a hundred yards above a point opposite the Isthmian Boat Club’s house Trinity was about three- quarters of a length ahead, and the men were greeted with frantic cheers as they continued up the course. Hitherto there had bheen no sign of the faltering of the Cornell men, although they had fallen behind. They had merely ap- peared to be going slower and slower and the Trinity crew faster and faster than be- fore, although the stroke of each crew was the same. But suddenly there came a collapse in the Cornell boat. The oars went fiying sbout in all directions, suggesting the antics of an attenuated windmill on a spree. Hager, No. 3, and Fennell, No. 5, almost at the same time missed the water and nearly fell out of the boat. The rest of the crew stopped almost immediately, being exhausted and clearly outrowed. That they were unable to stand any longer was apparent to evervbody. The course had been too strong and the pace too swift for the short stroke of the Cornell men, and they had demonstrated that their style of arm work was killing. In the meantime Trinity kept on with- out the slightest sign of weakening for the remaining thirty vards of the course, win- ning by about seven lengths. The Trinity crew received a tremendous ovation as it proceeded past the winning post. The judges decided in the case of the Cornell boat that the ‘‘course was not rowed out.” In an interview this evening C. 8. Fran- cis, the manager of the Cornell crew. said: “Fennell is in bad condition. He ‘caught a crab’ at the three-quarter mile post and the handle of his oar struck him in the side, inflicting an injury, the extent of which cannot yet be determined. “The poor fellow was doubled up with pain, which was so intense that it was impossible for him to recover as quickly as the rest of the crew. Despite the pain he was suffering he pluckily rowed the best he could to the finish. I fear his injury is really serious. There is a great dark bruise on the groin where the oar struck him. We constantly apply hot fomentings to it.” Mr. Francis reiterated his statement made in the afternoon that the Cornell boys had been beaten fairly and added: “The Trinity Hall crew is a good one. I don’t wish to minimize their victory. That every boat must abide by its own accidents is true the world over. “Itwould be unsportsmanlike to attempt to excuse our defeat on account of acci- dent. I hope our English friends did not overlook the fact that immediately the Taee Was Over our men gave, as well as 0 cr ‘They went well and steady, in their | they were able,;the Cornell slogan in honor of their conquerors.” Mr. Francis said in conclusion: “The crew will go out of training imme- diately, in view of Fennell’s injury. It is quite out of the question that he will row again this year, if ever. Neither of our two starboard substitutes can properly fill his place. The crew will probably sail for home on the steamer St. Louis, which leaves Southampton on July 27.” Mr. Francis took the news of the defeat to Mr. Courtney, the coach of the crew, who is confined to his room. Mr. Court- ney said: “The boys rowed as well as they could. Nobody in England or at home has cause to find fault. You must cheer them up.” DERISIVE COMMENTS. The English Press Rejoices in the Defeat of Cornell. LONDON, Ex6., July 10.—The Post will say to-morrow: “English style, length and leg work proved invincible. A more miserable col- lapse than that which occurred in the Cornell boat was never seen before."’ The Daily News will say : “It was a significant sign of the feeling created that scarcely a single cheer was raised for the losers, which was quite a contrast to the vociferous applause be- stowed on the Argonauts after their plucky struggle Tuesday.” Sporting Life will say that it regrets the disparaging remarks made by certain well- known persons at Henley in the presence of American newspaper men. It will add: “These remarks give an entirely false idea of how the Engfi:h ress and sporting R»nb}ic regard the visit ofpthe Cornell crew. We were glad to receive them. We shall not be inconsolable if at a future occasion he tables are turned.” The Sportsman will say: “The Leander crew are revenged. We should be something more than human if we did not triumph. It was sweet revenge to see Cornell wiped out in that derisive and contemptucus fashion. Bygones should be bygones.” CYCLERS AT ASBURY PARK, Zimmerman Leads a Run of the Wheelmen to His Home. Delegates to the National League Conventlon Participate In a Ball ASBURY PARK, N. J., July 10.—The | weather gods again blessed the National meet of the League of American Wheelmen to-day, everything being perfect. arun of 300 wheelmen and wheelwomen led by the great Zimmerman himself, set out from the local clubhouse for the home of the champion at Manshuan, seven miles away. Harry Wheeler accompanied the procession. They returned in time for din- ner. The afternoon was to a certain extent thrown away. On account of the non- receipt of the sanction by Chairman Gid- eon of the L. A. W. racing board, A. A. | Hanson’s 100-mile record trial was not attemoted, but he started for the hour record, paced. Hanson made within 300 vards of twenty-five miles, for which dis- tance Meintjes’ record of 57:40 3-5 still stands. § | _The cash prize races of Thursday and Friday's one and two mile events have ‘,been changed on .the Pprogramme to handicaps instead of scratch races,in order to make them more interesting, and give { the men an opportunity to earn their money by even chances. Every racing man in town was on the track at one time or another to-day. Among the men who stuck most persistently to the work were: Eddie Bald, W. F. Sims, Clint Coulter, Monte Scott, Frank Titus, the Johnsons, Zimmerman and Wheeler and Otto Zieg- ler. The latter kept his own place on the ole, and would not change it for any- in the finals in the afternoon. This evening a grand National-league ball was given at the auditerium. The executive }cumminee of the League of American | Wheelmen will confer with the Board of | Trade of Cycle Manufacturers to-morrow | evening, when most important questions will probably be taken up. BANKERS DISCUSS SILVER Its Champions Termed “Blath- erskites” and Foes of Prosperity. Brayton Ives’ Defense of the Presi- dent and the Recent Bond Issue. SARATOGA, N. Y., July 10.—Millions of dollars were represented by the finan- ciers of the State assembled here to attend the second annual convention of the State Bankers’ Association. The opening session was held at 2:30 o’clock this after- noon, being called to order by President Cornwell. Prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Joseph Carey, rector of Bethesda Episco- pal Church, after which President Corn- well delivered the annual address. The speeches by Treasurer §James O. Cannon, B. E. Walker of Canada and Brayton Ives were all devoted against the silver movement. Ives said: It is nearly a score of years since & financial tréhzaction of the Government has aroused so much discussion and caliled out so many ex- pressions, both of n};pronl and of criticism, as the recent sele of bonds to a syndicate of American and foreign bankers. In view of all the couditions this widespread interest isnot strange. When the Government issued bonds and “’greenbacks” during the war people took them with full contidence that the Govern- ment would not only pay them when able but would pay them in gold. Although the word ‘“‘gold” was not explicitly stated in the obliga- tion it was known to both our own citizens and foreigners that ““coin” meant gold. On the re- sumption nlspecielpl ments this meaning was made known to all the world, and the three years immediately following were the most prosperous this country has ever experienced, Until the free silver men came to the front nu cneat home orabroad doubted the intention or the ability of the Government to meet its obligations in gold. It is safe to say that the embarrassment of the Government in_ this crisis was due solely to their efiorts. Their vehement demands thatsilver should begiven, by arbitrary legal enactment, the same debt- paying power as gold in the ratio of 15% to 1 when the market ratio was 33 to 1 shook the faith of foreigners, as it well might, in our Natfon's honesty. That they should have been aided by others in Congress for political or ersonal reasons is a disgrace to those render- g such aid. The President was working man- (nll{ to maintain the honor of the country while the majority in Congress was strugglin to besmirch it. The few high-minded an {mblio—xph(led men who sustained Mr. Cleve- and were borne down by the blatherskite poli- ticians who sought their own success regard- less of the Nation’s danger. In conclusion Mr, Ivessaid regarding the recent bond issue: The power of the free silver men has passed its zenith- They still boast and swagger, but this is their sole stock in trade. No great party will dare to go before the country with a free silver glln]( in its platform. The benefits al- ready brought by the triumph of honest money are too pleasant to be exchanged for the gloom which has marked the years in which the > tisans of free silver have blocked progress. X?.d when the country shall have outgrown this stupid and wicked heresy and reached & condi- tion of weelth and prosperity which is its nat- ural heritage, it Is altogether probable that this sale of bonds involving these great principles will be seen to have marked the point where the people shook off hoth depression and op- pression and declared in favor of common hon- esty and a sound financial policy, At10:30 | { would not live with her any longer. WON BY THE HUSBAND Fredericka Munn’s Suit for a Divorce Is Dismissed. GOTHAM'S BIG SCANDAL. A Case in Which Many of the Four Hundred Were Implicated. LETTERS TO ANOTHER WOMAN. Referee Godkin Did Not Consider Them Sufficlent Cause for a Separation. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 10.—Judge Stoverin the Supreme Court chambers yesterday granted a judgment dismissing the suit for separation which was brought by Mrs. Fredericka F. Munn against her husband, Ernst M. Munn. The parties to the action are of social standing and wealth, and have been sep- arated about a year. Mrs. Munn is a cousin of Dr. Andrew V. Raymond, the president of Union College, Schenectady, and Judge John A. Miller of Newark, N. J., is her brother-in-law. Her separation from her husband was due to the fact that she had discovered certain letters written by him toa certain woman, which led her to believe that Le was infatuated with her. The Munns were married in Newark, June 5, 1889. They lived there until May, 1892, when they moved to Brooklyn. They remained there until May, 1894, and then took up their residence at Glenside Park, N.J. Itwas whileliving there that Mr. Munn made the acquaintance of Catherine Neuman, with whom his wife declared he had become infatuated, and on whose account there was a separation. Mrs. Munn declared that her husband had abandaned her for this woman. He most positively declared that the accusation was not true. Nearly a year ago Mr. Munn sailed for Europe on a business trip, and his wife states that he informed her that upon his return he would come to this city and pro- vide her with a home. He came back from Europe on September 22 last, but instead of going to his wife went to the home of his parents in Brooklyn, at 277 Union street, where he has since resided. Mrs. Munn went to the Hotel Bristol to live. She, in her action, claimed that he had abandoned her and refused to contribute to her support, and said that she had only re- ceived §100 from him from the time that he wentto Earope last summer. Mr. Munn denied that he had abandoned his wife and asserted that the abandonment was on her part. He said that when he left her he had fully provided for her support and had left ample means for her until his return from Europe. He, however, declared that all their troubles was due to interference on the part of her mother and brother and the rest of the family, who seemed to have gotten complete control over her and to have alienated her affections from him entirely. He submittéd for a time to these interferences on the part of her family, but at last his patience became exhausted and he asserted his rights and declared that he would not be ruled by them any longer. He moreover said that Judge Miller, her brother-in-law, had spread scandalous re- ports concerning him, and that his wife had permitted outrageous and unjust as- saults upon him by Judge Miller. Upon learning of these facts, upon his return from Europe, his anger and pa- tience became exhausted and he believed that her affections had been lost to bim, and in a hasty moment told her that he He was tired of her relatives, but was willing to care for her independent of them. Sev- eral weeks after he had told her that he would not live with her any longer he wrote her a letter in which he stated that he realized that he had been rather hasty in his actions, but at the same time it was right for her to come and live with him in the home which he would provide for her. In answer to this Mrs. Munn sent a let- ter requesting an explanation of his rela- tions with the woman about whom she complained. He sent a reply to this, which was not satisfactory, and repeatedly thereafter wrote to her requesting that she should return to him, but she never did. While she was ill at the Hotel Bristol, after the suit was brought, her husband had an interview with her, but no recon- cilintion was effected. The case was sent to Lawrence Godkin, as referee, who made a report recommend- ing that the complaint be dismissed upon the ground that the abandonment by the husband had not been shown, as he re- peatedly offered her a home after his first hasty step. When the letters from Mr. Munn to the woman of whom his wife complained, tending to show infatuation on his vart for ber, were put in evidence, the referee said that however wounding such letters may have been to the feelings of a faithful and devoted wife, he could not find any authority to sustain the propo- sition that she could decline to return to him after knowledge of them, and then claim separation upon the sole ground of abandonment. He therefore recommended that the complaint be dismissed. General Joseph W. Plume married a sis- ter of Mrs. Munn. CHRISTIANS I SESSION, Fifty Thousand Endeavorers Gather for the Boston Convention. Meetings Held Simultaneously In Nineteen Churches of the City and Suburbs. BOSTON, Mass., July 10.—With the ear- liest trains and boats, almost with the ris- ing of the sun, the great army of the Chris- tian Endeavorers began to pour into the city to-day in a way which utterly threw into the shade any previous influx of visit- ors to any convention. Singly, or in par- ties of two or three on the regular cars; in parties of fifty or one hundred in special cars attached to regular traine, and in fiu‘lt delexlti_onu numbering several hun- reds on special trains, they came pouring steadily into the stations, and under the skillful direction of the railroad reception committee soon melted away through the streets on the way to their quarters. They came from every part of the country, from Maine to California. By midnight to- ;n;ghz nearly 50,000 Endeavorers were in wn. The grand convention opened this even- ing with nineteen simultancous meetings in~ Boston, Cambridge and Somerset churches. Among the most important was that at Berkeley Temple, at which Rev. George E. Horr Jr., D.D,, of Boston presided and welcomed the delegates. The subject of the evening, “The Religious Press,” was discussed by Rey. William Hayes Ward, D.D., of New York OCity. Rev. A, E. Dunning, D.D., of Boston fol- lowed upon the ““Relation of the Religious Press to Christian Endeavor.” . Jamaica Plains extended its loyal greet- ing to the Endeavorers with a rally at the Jamaica Plains Baptist Church. Rev, Elijah Horr, D.D., of Wooster delivered an address on “A’ Reason for the Hope thatis in Us,” speaking of the historical and general proofs of Christianity. Rev. H. C.Farr, D.D., of Albany, N. Y.. made the principal address of the evening upon the Christian Endeavor Society as a train- ing school for church work. One of the most interesting meetings was held in Shawmut Congregational Church, the headquarters of the Ohio dele- gates. Rev. W. % Barton, pastor, pre- sided and Henry B. Carrington of Hyde Park, who was an adjutant-general from Ohio during the Civil War, welcomed the delegates. gt MOTHER'S AWFUL CRIME. Strangles One Child, Hangs Another and Then Kills Herself. PITTSBURG, Pa., July 10.—Mrs. Lena Rosener, the wife of a tanner residing on Spring Hill, Allegheny, to-day, while her husband was at work, hanged her three- year-old daughter to the head of a bed post and strangled her seven-month-old boy, from the effects of which he will die. After committing these crimes she hanged herself. PERISHED IN THE FLAMES, Six Men Cremated in the A VICTORY FOR DRAKE Chosen to Head the Re- publican Ticket in lowa. BUT SIX BALLOTS TAKEN. Harlan Beaten by the Superior Organization of the Op- position. A PLATFORM FOR THE PEOPLE. Democratic Misrule Scored, Bimet- allism Favored and Allison In= dorsed for President. DES MOINES, Towa, July 10.—The well- organized forces of General Francis Marion Drake of Centerville achieved a signal vie- tory in the Republican State Convention this afternoon, when he was nominated for Governor on the sixth ballot, after one of the most warmly contested ante-conven- tion campaigns ever witnessed in Iowa. General Drake had as his chief competitor ex-Senator James F. Harlan of Mount Pleasant, a man universally respected in Iowa, and especially beloved by his party Livery Stable Fire at Detroit. The Trotter Ethel Y and the Pacer Little Mac Among the Horses Burned. DETROIT, Miow., July 10.—Six men and nearly a hundred horses were cremated in the fire that destroyed the Case livery stable early this morning. The building was four stories high, the upper stories being used as sleeping quar- ters by employes of the stable. The fire started on the first floor and spread so rapidly that before the occupants of the building were aware of their danger all means of escape were cut off. The fire alarm was at once turned in, but the men in the burning building had become fran- tic with fear before the firemen arrived. One man, John Cummings, a helper, be- came so much excited that he threw him- self headlong out of the window, and was so0 badly hurt that he died. As soon as the firemen reached the scene they raised ladders to the upper stories, and soon all the men who could be seen were rescued. By hard work the fire was confined to the building in which it erig- inated. On investigation after the fire had been brought under control it was found that | six _of the occupants of the building had perished in the fire. The names of the dead are: John Shaw, oiler; John Bow- man, second cook; Thonvas Webb, painter; Edward Hughes, chamoisman; James R. Shaw, harness-maker; Charles Davis, stock-owner, and John Cummings, an em- ploye. The bodies of the unfortunate men were found by a fireman on the four.h floor shortly after 4 o'clock. Ethel Y, a trotter, valued at $1000, was burned, as was also Little Mack, the pacer. The total loss is over $80,000. The pacer Little Mack had a record of 2:133, and died after being recovered from the stable. 2 R VEST ON LIVE 1SSUES. Says the Democratic Party Must Declare for Siiver. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 10.—Senator George G. Vest of Missouri sailed on the ‘Westerland for Antwerp thismorning, and will remain abroad for his health for several months. Senator Vest was a guest at the Hoffman House where a reporter ihterviewed him yesterday. Vest had just come from a journey through the Western | cereal-producing States, and he said that he bad never seen crops generally in such condition, and everything so favorable to a harvest far above the average in quantity and quality. **Of course,” he said, “‘the low price of agricultural produets detracts somie from the prospects, but we cannot tell what prices will be. When wheat was up to 83 it looked as though the farmers were going ! to be rewarded this fall, but prices arc now | in the 60's and the prospects not so good. “The improvement in the iron and steel and woolen trades has been rapid. | Wages have advanced and orders have come in large numbers. Ail this means that the calamity cries of our Republican friends have been wasted. The Wilson bill has been proved to be a practical business measure. When it is fully tried | it will yield a much larger revenue, but | whether sufficient to meet all of the ex- penses of the Government remains to be seen. I would not say thatit mignt not be necessary to increase the revenue by an additional impost on beer, spirits or sugar, but that is a contingency of the future.” _The Missouri Senator is in favor of free silver, and has decided views on the m{b- ject. He said: “If an attempt be made to commit the Democratic National Convention to a single gold standard and succeeds, it will split the | party and cause the formation of a free sil- ver ticket. The people of the East have no idea of the strength of this sentiment in the Western and Southern States. It will be the main issuein 1896. The question must be settled and it will not down until it is settled. “The silver men do not demand an im- mediate approval of a_free-coinage law, and would be content with a frank, hon- est expression committing the party to bi- metallism and a free use of silver as soon as some practical measure could be for- mulated and enacted into Jaw. Missouri is strongly for free silver. The Democrats will hold a convention in August, and I believe it will declare unanimously for ffee coinage. ‘‘The Presidential sentiment does not Br;mt toward any one in particular in the mocratic gm—ry. Cleveland will leave the office with renown to himself and the country. Ido not believe he would ac- cept a third term, even though it should be offered him, which is unlikely.” - PILGRIMS SAIL FOR EUROPE. Fathers of Mercy Leading @ Party to Worship at Foreign Shrines. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 10.—The Red Star line steamer Westernland sailed for Antwerp togday with the second American National pilgrimage, under the auspices of the Fathers of Mercy, to the European shrines. The first pilgrimage took place last year, and the present one was organ- ized at the request of the Holy Father. The pilgrims will be granted an audience at the Vatican, This year’s gilxrimage is in honor of St. Anthony of Padua, the seven hundredth anniversary of whose birth occurs during the present year. An entire week will be spent at Lourdes, which is now the yearly resort of mnn¥ thousands of devout clients of thé Lady of the Grotto. Will Not Visit New York. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 10.—Passen- | gers arriving on the steamer Allegheny, from Port Limon, state that Chief Clar- ence of the Mosquitoes will not come to because of the conspicuous part he took in the politics of the country during Civil War period, and because of his friendship for President Lincoln. Géneral Drake is equally popular, and he pitted against the enthusiasm of the Harlan supporters a shrewdly organized following of working politicians, The third strongest candidate for Gover- nor on the opening ballot, ex-State Sena- tor Matt Parrott of Waterloo, was given the second place cn the ticket, defeating for renomination Lieutenant-Governor Dungan of Chariton. There were seven other candidates for Governor—J. B. Harsh of Creston, E. 8. Ormsby of Emmetsburg, J. L. Kamrar of Webster City, W. M. McFarland of Esther- ville (the present Secretary of State), Sen- ator A. B. Conway of New S8haron, F. C. Letts of Marshalltown and W. S. Russell of Perry. The strength of each rapidly disappeared after the first ballot. Supreme Judge Josiah Given of Des Moines, Superintendent of Public Instruc- tio Henry Sabin of Clinton and Railroad Commissioner George W. Perkins of Far- ragut were renominated without difficulty. There was no contest over the platform, whichk ignores the prohibition questi among State issues as being out of politics, and, after denouncing the Democratic ad- ministration for its incompetency, practi- cally reaffirms the Minneapolis platform of 1892 on the leading national issues. No attempt was made to secure a declaration for iree silver. A resolution adopted at the caucus of the Second District delegates, fa- voring a law permitting the manufacture [of liquors in the State, was presented to the committee on resolutions, but was ig- nored. Senator Allison was present and received a warm weicome, but did not make a speech. The platform indorses him for President. The convention was held in Calvary Tabernacle. The auditorium will seat 3500 people and it was filled to overflowing. The number of delegates entitled to seats was 1244, and nearly all were present. It was the largest convention ever held by the party in this State and nearly every Republican of prominence in Iowa was present. The gathering was called to order at 10:45 A. M. by Chairman J. E. Blythe of the State Central Committee who, after a prayer by Rév. J. F. Norton of Tama City, introduced J. R. Lane of Davenport as temporary chairman. Mr. Lane in the course of his address congratulated the party on the change of two years ago in its policy on the liquor question. He advocated international bi- metallism and pointed out what he consid- ered the dangers of independent action by this country and of free coinage at other than the commercial ratio of the precious metals. At the conclusion of his address the usual committees were appointed and the convention at 11:40 adjourned until 2 p. M. Upon reconvening the report of the com- mittee showed all the counties fully rep- resented. The report of the committee on permanent organization, recommend- ing Lafayette Young of Des Moines for permanent chairman and J. W. Willetts of Tama City for secretary, was adopted. Chairman Young's address was brief and devoted to ridicule of the Democratic party. The convention then proceeded to the nomination of a candidate for Governor, nominatng speeches being barred. The first formal ballot resulted: Drake 366, Harlan 248, Parrott 208, Harsh 86, Ormsby 84, Kamrar 80, McFarland 116, Conway 22, Letts 24, Russell 10. Drake gained steadily and Harlan gained at a smaller rate. The big counties of Des Moines, Polk, Linn and Pottawatomie went solidly to Drake on the sixth ballot, which resulted: Drake 864, Harlan 139, Parrott 231, Harsh 2, Kamrar 2, Ormsby 2. For Lieutenant-Governor the candidates were three of the men who had aspired to first place—Matt Parrott, J. L. Ormsby and E. L. Kamrar—and the incumbent, W. S. Dungan. Parrott was nominated by acclamation in the middle of the second ballot. “Josiah Given was nominated for Judge of the Supreme Courton the first ballot, his competitor being A. J. McCrary of Keokuk, Superintendent of Public in- struction Babin and Railroad Commis- sioner Perkins were renominated by ac- clamation. . Ex-United States Senator G. G. Wright of Des Moines, chairman of the committee on resolutions, submitted the following platform: We, the representatives ot the Republican party of lowa, in convention assembled, re- affirm our fealty to the great principles which our National party from its birth has stead- fastly proclaimed in the face of an ever-shift- ing foe. We congratulate the people of this country upon the evidences of returning pros- perity, and rejoice in each instance of labor re- employed, wages restored and industry re- established upon a prosperous basis, In the record of the building of our industries under Republican policy, their paralysis under Dem- ocratic power and their revival! with the re- pudiation of the Democratic party and the dis- solution of the Democratic House of Represen- tatives, succceded by one election upon the platform of the Republican party, the vindica- tion of the policy of protection is complete. The Democratic party is convicted of obtain- ing power in 1892 under false pretenses. In its platform it declared the principle of protection 10 be unconstitutional, and in its campaign 1t denounced the policy as robbery. But, with complete power in its hands, its lawmakers have utterly failed to carry out the policy to New York on his'way to El:fhnd' but will proceed there by Royal Mail steamer. » which they were pledged. It isa farcical pre- tense for the Democratic party to claim credit now for a measure of which nine months ago its President withheld his approval and dee nounced it as a humiliating abandonment of their cardinal principle. The Senate bill, substituted for the Wilsou bill, isnot a measure which the Republican party would father. It reduces the revenue upon the luxuries, a method of levy more effective than any income tex; it restores tax- ation to sugar, a necessity in every home; it reduces the wage rate in many industries in which labor is the chief element of cost, but it maintains in many of its parts the principle which the Democratic party declared to be un- constitutional. To claim credit under it is to claim credit for abandoning its own policy and adopting the principle which it had denounced. We deplore the fact that the Democratic party,while professing an especial interest in the enlargement of our export trade, has destroyed the reciprocity arrangements established by a Republican administration. Itssolicitude for foreign trade has been exhibited only in the admission of foreign goods to our own market, without obtaining any reeiprocal favors from foreign nations. We believe in the policy of reciprocity as the policy of prac- tical affairs, and that the admission of foreign traders to the rich marketsof the United States should obtain for our people equal opportunity in foreign markets. We believe that the compensation of [labor is the true gauge of civilization, and the welfare of the laborer has been the constant care of the Bepublican party from its birth. We are un- alterably opposed to reducing the American workmen to open competition in our own mar- ket with the poorly paid labor of the O1d World. We denounce the doctrine that a tariff should be levied witha view to revenue only, and re- affirm the doctrine which has wrought in America the most marvelous industrial de- velopment ever known in the world, viz.: the doctrine of protection to home industry. We believe in not only maintaining the higher wage rate for thelaborer, but the integ- rity of money in which he is paid. We afirm the declarations of the Republican National plattorm of 1892, adopted at Minne- apolis, that “The American people, from tra- dition and interest, favor bimetallism, and the Republican party demands the use of both gold and silver as standard money,with such restric- tion and under such provision,to be deter- mined by legislation, as will secure the main- tenance of the parity of value of the two metals, that the purchasing and debt-paying power of the dollar, whether silver, gold or paper, shall e at all times equal. The inter- est of the producers of the country, its farmers and the workingmen, demands jhat every dol- lar, paper or coin, issued by the Government shall be as good as any other.”” We urge that the United States exert itsin- fluence to establish with the important com- mercial nationsof the world such an interna- tional agreement as will enablc this country to reopen its mints to the free and unlimited coinage of both metals without loss of one or the other from the volume of our money. Resolved, That the honest and industrious immigrant who comes to our land with the intent to become in good faith an American citizen is always welcome. None other should be permitted to come. We favor the amend- ment and more stringent enforcement of the immigration laws, so as to exclude criminal, | pauper, and all other undesirable classes, whose presence tends to degrade American labor and incite disorder. The Republican party, ever mindful of the patriotic services and sactifices of the veteran soldiers of the Republic, reaflirms its position in favor of liberality to the Nation’s defenders; we favor the granting of pensions to all honor- ably discharged Union solaiers and sailors whose disabilities justly eatitle them thereto. We congratulate the people upon the fact that the State of Jowa will be represented in the Fifty-fourth Congress by two Senators and eleven Representatives who are sealous and fearless advocates of Republican principles, and whose services in the past we heartily commend. With especial pride do we remem- ber the distinguished services of our senior Senator, whose long and honorable record as a servantof the State entitles him to expressions of our full confidence and our enduring affec- tion. Wehail with satisfaction the universal desire of the Republicans of the State to con- tinue him in his present field of usefulness until called to the larger services of the nation. The platform was adopted without ob- jection or debate. The convention then adjourned. Francis Marion Drake, nominated for Governor, was born in Illinois.

One Man and His Wife Barely Es- cape Drowning by Climb- ing Trees. SALINA, Kaxns.,, July 10.—At 1 o'clock this morning the Smoky Hill River was thought to be at a standstill. A fresh flood came. however, and at noon to-day it had risen five inches more, and is still ris- ing. Five hundred people have been driven from their homes, and hsve taken refuge in the school buildings, being cared for by active citizens. Scores of farmers and their families have had to fly for their lives, and crops have been destroyed and stock and buildings washed away. The damage cannot be estimated till the water recedes. A Swede, who lived ten miles up the river, went with his wife on horseback to elevated land to rescue his cattle. While there. a sudden change in the water came and submerged the couple, and they barely escaped drowning by climbing trees. New Trustees Named.
