There wasno allusion whatever in the piatform to Senator Gorman. It was stated this was his desire, and he gave as areason that his course at Washington was not an issue in this campaign. MR. HARKISON'S CAMPAIGN. It Will Be Waged by His Friends With Buch Caution. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 31.—L. T. Michener, ex-Attorney-General of Indiana 1 a close personal and political friend of President Harrison, is generally re- ded as the man most likely to be ac- juainted with the intentions of Mr. Harri- son, as for years the two worked together in the greatest harmony in all political matters. Mr. Michener was asked if he could state the probable attitude of Mr. Harrison on the question of his nomina- tion, and said: | is denied. 1 and my intention is to continue the silence | at least during the coming six months.” | Another close friend of Mr. Harrison, in { convers: 0 to-day, said: | “Ithink Mr. Harrison hasconcluded that t mistake in his campaign for the rination might easily be made by hav- his candidacy pushed before the public strongly long before the day when the convention is called upon to act. For this reason I am inclined to think he wishes to have his friends say little or nothing about | his candidacy for the Presidency, except that they wili do nothing to place him out of the field. After Senator-elect Elkins made his Western trip and then held a conference with Harrison and Plattin New York City, the idea became very general that the Harrison boom was being pushed along at a rapid rate, and that there was an intention to railroad Mr. Harrison into the nomination after the fashion of a snap convention. The indignation which this course inspired has never been stated with | its full force. At the time ex-Senator Warner Miller gave vent to some sharp criticism concerning it, and other no less prominent men in the Republican ranks who were not favorable to Mr. Harrison’s candidacy, indorsed what Mr. Miller said. “There was a feeling that might have become very bitter had not the Harrison men met and endeavored in future to | make less display in advocating the can- | didacy of their favorite.” There is no feeling among the Repub- licans that Mr. Harrison is less a candi- date to-day for Presidential honors than he was a_couple of months ago, but there is a belief that the campaign in his favor will be waged with more caution. CLEVELAND NOT A CANDIDATE. But He Thinks His Influence Will Cut Some Figure. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 31.—The Her- ald’s Washington special says the positive statement in the Herald that Cleveland will not be a candidate for a third term |is confirmed in administration circles here. Members of the President’s Cabi- net are positive in their declarations that Cleveland will not seek another nomina- tion at the hands of the party. He would, nevertheless, it is said, like to be in a position next summer to influence the ic of the man who will be the Democzatic candidate. Cleveland is a man of strong conviction | and would like to see a man nominated | who would stand for the principles which he advocates and who, if elected, would continue the same line of policy on all im- | portant questlons which he has followed. Iam able to say on good authority that the President and most members of the Cabinet would be glad to have the nomina- tion bestowed upon Secretary Carlisle. There is one man in the Cabinet, how- | ever, who does not regard Carlisle favor- T the nomination and that is Secre- ary Lamont. Lamontisstrongly in favor nomination of ex-Secretary of the Whitney. Hebelieves that Whitney 1ld be by far the strongest candidate who could be selected by the party and that he would win the fight against any man the Republicans can put forth. Missouri Silver Democrats. KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 31.—Demo- cratic county conventions to name dele- gates to the State Silver Convention at Pertle Springs August 6 were held to-day with these results: Ray County, sevendele- gates by a vote of 300 out of 3000; Chariton County ceclared for free coinage and adopted resolutionsexpressing unalterable opposition to Congressman Hall's course. RULED BY A FIERCE MOB. Residents of the City of San Salvador in a State of Fury. All the Trouble Caused by the Re- ported Shooting of Thirty | Citizens. SAN SALVADOR, July 31.—The streets are filled with a mob yelling, ‘ Death to Guiterres and Castallanos!” The people are in a frenzy because thirty citizens belonging to leading families | were arrested to-day, and it is rumored | that they were shot inside the barracks, | and that the troops are ready for action, though the police are trying the streets. The city has been declared in a state of siege. Business places are closed. The city officers have issued a proclama- tion calling on the people to return to their homes and warning them that the v is under martial law. The crowd seems undecided what to do, ng leadership. | The report that General Regaladolius has been condemned to death as a traitor Heisnot in the government’s { hands, it is declared.

ROME, Itary, July 31.—The Chamber | of Deputies finished its session to-day. Shortly before adjournment a scene of up- roararose in the Chamber which caused a temporary suspension of the sitting. An article wri by the socialist Deputy, Signor Colajinni, and published i i- Y in the lati Secolo was objected to by several Depu- | ties, who considered it offensive to them. The offended Deputies surrounded Cola- jinni and from words they came to blows. he sitting was suspended during the ensuing uproar, and after order had been restored Colajinni explained the article to the protesting Deputies. O A O approved the Mora Indemnity, MADRID, Spary, July 31.—The Cabinet to-day formally Bp(;)roved the amount of indemnity to be paid in settlement of the Mora claim. The Republican and Carlist Senators and Deputies have protested to the Gov- ernment against the payment of the Mora claim without the sanction of the Cortes, They declare - they regard the Govern- ment’s haste in the settling of the claim as unusual and humiliating to Spain, and complain that it was unfriendly on the part of the TUnited States to press the mat- ter when there was a rebellion in Cuba. The Cabinet has agreed to pay the amount of the claim in three instaliments. Afterward an attempt will be made to induce the United States to recognize the Spanish_claims arising ffom losses sus- “For the past year I have purposely |tamed by them in Florida during the maintained strict silence on this subject, | American Rebellion. . . - P SPREAD OF A SCARE.

Last week the Bannocks packed up and returned to their reservation, ap- parently the meekest kind of Indians, but | the old frontiersmen shook their heads then and said to “wait and see,”’ and that Indians never fought with their squaws Sure enough, all this week reports have been coming in that straggling bands of Bannocks have been seen making their way toward Jacksons Hole. They left their families safe on the reservation and after securing a new supply of ammunition the bucks are going back to the scene of the original trouble. Al! day there has been an air of mystery surrounding the. officers stationed here. Two hundred word telegrams have been on the way to Jacksons Hole and the War Departmentat Washington. Thisafternoon take the troops and deliver dispatches to General Coppinger. It would be no surprise here if an order were received to-morrow from General Cop- pinger toforward more troops. If the order ismade it will in all probability be for the Sixteenth Infantry from Fort Douglas, near Salt Lake City, Utah. A dispatch to the Hudson News Bureau from Soda Springs, Idaho, says: ‘A courier has arrived from the Lower Salt River Valley, reporting the Indians in full force PRICE FIVE CENT RACED IN FINE STYLE.

Lieutenant Ladd of the Ninth Cavalry, who is stationed here, received a telegram to-day from Idaho Falls informing him that the settlers in Swan Valley, only forty miles southeast.of here, on-the east of the south fork of the Snake River, had massed themselyes in.a stockade for safety and sent an urgent appeal for troops. The warlike bucks have become so threatening that these people,"who have lived right in the lower valley. Ranches have been abandoned. Seventy-five families arrived | here to-day from Grays Lake.

Teton Mountain Settlers Will Not Take Chances. - 'WITH 'UNITED STATES TROOPS, NEARTETON Pass (via Market Lake, Idaho), July 31.—There' is intense excitement in Jacksons Hole over the near arrival of the HUNTERS AND THE GRIZZLY BANNOCK i WHICH THEY XILLED IN THE COUNTRY. [Reproduced from a photograph furnished by “The Call’s” special correspondent.] among the Indians for a score of years, are afraid to remain longer on their ranches. On the Sedolph ranch, twenty miles east of Market Lake on the other side of Snake River, two bands of Indian bucks headed toward Jacksons Hole gave three sheep- herders a bad scare. One band contained forty Indians and the other ninety, and as each one reached the herd, the Indians rode twice around it with many threatening motions. They continued on their trail troops, and settlers are flocking in from all sides. The settlers’ houses at the foot of the Teton Mountains are all fortified, and the people are much alarmed, as they fear that when the soldiers enter Jacksons Hole the Indians may retreat through Teton Pass. i 5 There are seventy-five men in Jacksons Hole, who are fortified at three points. Colonel Randall was told to-day by three ' 3 seconds. | reaching or beating, the difference between - twelve minutes’ beating which the lates | Herreshoff creation pave to the cup de- fender of 1893 in the 40-mile run from New London here. The new boat made ample amends for her failure to win yesterday, | and even the croakers who say she is not | doing as well as she should ceased their croaking, and the apprehension in regard to the America cup was put at rest for the day, at least. The expectation that General Payne’s i Jubilee would take part in the day’s run was not fulfilled, and the Boston con- tingent, who claimed that the Jubilee did not get a fair chance in the trial cup race | of 1893, were much disappointed. The fail- ure of the Jubilee to start was due to an accident which happened in the hard blow »f yesterday. Instead of trying her pace with the Defender and Vigilant the Jubilee took a line from the latter’s tender, the Aeronaut, and was towed here, arriving with the last fleet. J. Malcolm Forbes’ Volunteer, the suc- | cessful cup defender of 1887, was in the | race to-day, and there was a good oppor- | tunity to gauge the .advance that has been | made in yacht architecture since the | Thistle was sent home without the cup. | The Volunteer has for several years been schooner-rigged, and it is only recently that she has been changed back to a sloop. Mr. Forbes showed genuine sportsmanship in fitting her up and trying conclusions with the Herreshoff model. In the forty-mile run to-day the De- fender beat her 24 minutes and 5 seconds, and the Vigilant beat her 12 minutes and On another day, when there is the old type and the later ones may not be | so great, but that we have made rapid strides in designing yachts is evident. Another ex-cup defender distinguished herself to-day. The Mayflower, in whom all patriotic Americans placed their hopes in 1886, and placed them not in vain, came to the front in the race for schooners, win- ning in her class and making the best time of any of the yachts except the three big single-stickers. After her defeat of the Galatea the Mayflower was given a schoon- |er rig and she has never accomplished much in it. Her victory to-day over the orack modern schooners Lasca and Emer- ald was a surprise. In the other classes for schooners the winners were: Constellation, Iroguois, Amorita and Nearea. Of the smaller single-stickers the Queen Mab, Wasp and Uvira were winners. The Secretary of the Navy, on the Dol- phin, accompanied the fleet here from New London. The day was a fine one for a race and the members of the New York Yacht Club are congratulating themselves on having three glorious days for the beginning of their annual cruise. The wind came in all day from the south-sonthwest at a twelve to fourteen knot gale. The air was clear as crystal and it-had a tinge of fall coolness to it that added to the pleasure of the specta- tors on the attendant fleet of steam yachts. No fairer scene could be imagined than that presented by the fleet at anchorin New London harbor this afternoon. With the green hills of Croton for a background, the glistening sails of yachts, the graceful lines of their hulls, the brilliance of their brass-work and the trimness of their tow- ering spars, the picture presented was one of great beauty. ¢ The squadron did not move until after 9o'clock. Then three rows of code pen- Continued on Third Page, nants fluttered in the breeze from the flag- ship Sylvia. The Defender, which had had her patent steering-gear repaired over night, was the first of the big sloops to get under way. The Vigilant followed her down and the Volunteer joined the others outside and took part in the sail-stretch- ing maneuvers before the start. The Sylvia anchored outside the entrance to New London harbor of St. Strass lodge and set the preparatory signal at 110’clock. At 11:10 the smaller classes of sloops, cut- ters and yawls were sent off. The Queen Mab as usual led the procession across the line. She was followed by the Norota, Wasp, Mineola, Hildegard and Uyira mn the order named. The course was a short reach with wind and abeam and boom to port to Rabe Rock light; then a dead run before the wind to Point Judith and into Newport harbor finishing at Dumplings. At 11:15 the schooners were started. The Lasca crossed first, followed by the others in this order: Ramona, Ariel, Loyal, Merlin, Elsmarye, Iroquois, May- flower, Nearea, Constellation, Esmeralda, Alcaea, Brunhilde and Amorita. Balloon- set sails and balloon-jibs were used on the schooners to Race Rock and the spinnak- ers were then added, giving the two- masters a spread of canvas. At 11:20 the signal for the first-class sloops sounded. The Defender was first over, with club- topsail and large jib-topsail aiding her lower sails. Just before gun-fire, the Vigilant’s mainsail split a couple of feet from the end of the boom. The split ran up to the first balloon, a distance of about six feet. It was too late to stop for repairs, and the sloop swung over the line, crossing a minute behind the Defender. The Volunteer followed the Vigilant just as the handicap timeof two minutes ex- pired. The Vigilant broke out a laree jib- topsail, but the Volunteer avparently was not supplied with that sail, and did the best she could without it. The Vigilant spilled considerably through the rent in her mainsail, but there was no thought of quitting. The Queen Mab led the fleet around Race Rock. The Lasca led the schooners. The Defender overtook the last of the schooners within twenty minutes and sailed past them one after the other. The Vigilant followed suit and the Volunteer before the end was reached. At 11:42 the Vigilant broke out her balloon jib-topsail in place of the smaller headsail. At 11:45 the Defender set her spinnaker. The Vigilant and Volunteer also set spin- nakers when they squared off for Newport. The wind became a little lighter, and at 11:48 the Defender changed her jib-topsail for a balloon. She was then about two minutes ahead of the Vigilant, and the latter was four minutes ahead of the Volunteer. At 12:25 the Defender had walked through the fifteen schooners which were started five minutes ahead of her, and had also passea the six small single-stickers started ten minutes ahead, and had the lead. At 12:43 the Vigilant also passed the last of the others, and became second boat, with the DIefender about three minutes ahead. The Volunteer was a mile astern. The wind freshened to about 15 knots, and the ‘Wasp and Maytiower got some advantage from the northerly hreeze. The yachts now led along merril,, with a constantly widening gap between the Defender and Vigilant. The Defender jibed around Point Judith at 2:31 and the Vigilant at 2:42:30. The Volunteer was ten minutes later. Tne Wasp led all the smaller single- stickers and the Magflower led all the chooners. The Vigilant jibed be- fore reaching Point Judith, but all the others swung their booms over to starboard aund reset spinnakers on the port side of the run up into harbor. The Sylvia anchored below Fort Adams wt the Dumplings for the finish. * The De- fender crossed the line at 4:06:10, 12 min. 2 sec. ahead of the Vigi RACED IN LIGHT WIND- The Britannia Easily Outsailed Isolde and Niagara. QUEENSTOWN, Exc., July 31.—The Ailsa, Britannia, Isolde and Niagara started in the race over the fifty-mile course for the Queen’s cup. The Ailsa allowed; the Britannia 63 sec- onds,the Isolde 34 minutes and the Niagara 56 minutes. The wind was light from the north. The race was won by the Britannia. The finish was as follows: Britannia, 5:14:56; Ailsa,5:15:30: Isolde, 5:35:48, and Niagara, 5:46:31. LEFT FOR NEW FIELDS Editor Von Landberg of Syra- cuse Takes a Sensational Departure. Printed a Farewell Message In His Paper and Then Fled From the City. SYRACUSE, N. Y., July 31.—A tremen- dous sensation was caused to-day by the publication In the Syracuse Union, the German newspaper owned and edited by Alexander von Landberg, formerly In- ternal Revenue Collector for the district of New York, of a statement to the subscrib- ers that Editor von Landberg had shaken the dust of Syracuse from his feet and would probably never return. The letter, which was dated Hoboken, July 29, gave domestic infelicity as the reason of his un- expected departure, and related a story of unhappy married life that was already known to Mr. von Landberg’s intimate friends. In his letter he says: *I leave no debts of any kind, and I stand upon the ragged edge of despair. My position seems utterly lost. My whole aim during' the last twenty-five years was, in all the many offices with which my fellow- citizens have honored me, in my position of Canal Collector and as Collector of In- ternal Revenue, to do honor to the Ger- man name. I believe I have succeeded and I deserve a better fate in my declining days.” B O U SUIT AGAINST CHICAGO. H, M. Stowe Claims a Vast Sum Js Due Him in Royalties. CHICAGO, Irv., July 31.—H. M. Stowe filed a suit yesterday in the Uuited States Circuit Court for $3,000,000. This he claims is due him from the city of Chicago in royalties'on the use of his patent of pay- ing streets with cedar blocks. His idea was ‘patented in 1874, and, although the patent has run out he claims that the roy- alties on the paving done before the expira- tion of the patent amount to $3,000,000. Mr. Stowe was formerly of San Francisco. His attorneys are Elliott & Hopkins. MAD RUSH OF WATERS Lives Lost in Floods of New Mexico and Colorado. HAVOC OF CLOUDBURSTS. Two Suburbs of Socorro Swept by Waves and Many Per= sons Perished. GREAT DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. Adelalde, a Mining Town, Also Visited by a Series of Disas= trous Inundations. SOCORRO, N. MEx., July 31.—Late yes- terday afternoon a heavy ramn from the east met a cloud from the west near Snake ranch, eight miles from Socorro. A wave twenty feet high came down the arroyo and submerged Chihuahua and Guba, two small suburbs, washing down houses and rushing through others. The arroyo also broke atSpring streetand inthe north part of town left women and children strugzgling in the water. Several drowned bodies, one man and six children, were re- covered, with several more missing. There were many narrow escapes. Mrs. A. Mayer and mother were washed away by the waves, but were rescued. The fam- ily of H. Hilton and many others were saved with difficulty. Forty houses are down, with a hundred more that will fall and others badly damaged. The water is three feet deep and all the principal streets are strewn with furniture and large bowl- ders. Little damage was done to stores, except to cellars and foundations. Crops and gardens were washed away, and from Polvadera to Lemitar the low lands are flooded four feet deep. Abouta mile of track is damaged on the main line of the Santa Feroad and eight miles on the Mag- dalena branch and several bridges are washed away. The water main of the Socorro Water Company is badly damaged and no drinking water is to be had. Hun- dreds of people are in distress. The dam- age to the town is estimated at $700,000. DENVER, Covo., July 31.—A telegram to the Florence and Cripple Creek Railroad office here to-day from Cripple Creek re- ports a serious landslide and washout along the line of the road between Russell and Adelaide yesterday afternoon. A freight train from Cripple Creek was caught near Adelaide by the landslide about 5 o’clock in the afternoon and de- railed. In half an hour a succession of cloudbursts occurred near the head of FEight-mile Creek, about fifteen miles .away, and swept the track for six miles, catching the train. Engineer Reuben Love and Brakeman James Dolan were drowned in the terrible rush of water along the track. The damage is reported at $100,000. Reports from the Santa Fe and Rio Grande from Canyon City, tell of serious washouts near that place. DENVER, Coro., July 31.—Adelaide, a flourishing mining town on the line of the Florence and Cripple Creek Railroad, about seventy-five miles from Cripple Creek, was yesterday struck by a series of cloudbursts that flooded the entire dis- trict and devastated over fifty houses. A terrible rainstorm, accompanied by un- usual electrical disturbances, began fright- ening the residents about 5 o’clock in the afternoon, followed several hours later by a downpour of water unprecedented in this district. So far as is known, three persons have been drowned and swept away by the rush of water, and many nar- rowly escaped drowning to be rendered homeless. Those drowned were: R. M. Gove, Dick Dolan, Frank Colwell. Injured and likely to die: Mrs. Carr, pro« prietressof the Adelaide Hotel ; Lea Tracey, a waiter, and John Watson, a céok. The first rush of water occurred about 7 o’clock and came down Eight-mile Creek in the shape of an immense wave. This re- sulted from a cloudburst at the head of the creek, fifteen miles north of the town. The Adelaide Hotel was carried away before the vast volume of water, guests scram- bling amid their effects in a mad rush to save themselves. Carried along in the seething waters were timbers from cabins on the creek, which tended to make the work of rescue more dangerous. A prominent citizen named Hall saved himself by clinging to his floating hencoop. Two unknown men are reported missing, but it is impossible to learn of any further loss of life throughout the valley. The cloudburst was followed by a second one, and again another which razed many buildings to the ground, including stores and residences. The damage to the town will exceed $100,000, and in the path of the storm it will be days before an estimate of the damuge can be made. Railroad and telegraph communication have been cut off from the town, and the tracks are washed away for a distance of four miles on either side of the town. EL PASO, Tex., July 31.—A terrific cloudburst last night at Magdalena, N. Mex., the terminus of the Santa Fe mining camp branch, twenty-seven miles from Socorro, swept away the entire branch with ten bridges. The Santa Fe main line is torn up and through traffic delayed twelve hours. CASPER, Wyo., July 3L.—Four persons lost their lives last night in the cloudburst which rushed down Garden Creek Valley. Theirnames are Mrs. S. Newby, her infant child and two children of Samuel Harrison. The water demolished the hotel and build- ings at the head of the creek. The people drowned were campers and were swept away before they could reach the hillside, Harrison lived at Alliaunce, Nebr. - The force of the torrent was terrific. MEMPHIS, TExy., July 31. lists of Mississippi held their State Con- vention at Jackson to-day, naming the full ticket headed by Frank Burkitt for Governor. They also adopted a platform declaring for the free and "unlimited coin- age of siiver and other pet doctrines, sandwiched between strong roasts of both the old parties.
