The crew were all rescued | without great difficulty, but there was no more vocal music during the afternoon.

It wasin white and yel- | low and propelled by a dozen lusty oars- men, who for the time being were galley slaves. Hihn & Co. had a beautiful float in yel- low and white. It represented a bell and was entirely covered with fluwers. There were numerous other floats which covered the water so thickly as to almost hide it from view. | All was a scintillating movement of bright colors and graceful form.

June 19.—The sec- ond specil carnival train sent out by the San Francisco CAnn took this city by storm. The fact thata train would be sent here was announced yesterday, and when the ‘“flyer’’ reached the platform of the Sea Beach Hotel this morninga crowd was waiting eager to catch a glimpse of the great daily. The run made by this CALL special was better than yesterday’s from a time stand- point, but in a way not as good. It made the run in fifteen minutes less time, but no long stops were necessary. The special left Fourth and Townsend streets at 3:45 A. w. and reached this city at 6:30. From be- ginning to end it was a rapid run. Papers were thrown off at ail stations along the road and eagerly grasped by the carriers. Peopie at the Sea Beach Hotel were par- ticularly interested in the arrival of the train. The biz bundles of CAvrrs had no sooner been opened than dozens of people crowded about to purchase them. Many of the buyers had attended Queen Jose- Roncovieri phine’s ball and were not a little sur- | prised 1o see an accurate, illustrated de- scription of it published in a San Fran- cisco paper hardly three hours after the guests had gone to their homes, In less than an hour after the special train’s arrival the pretty breakfast-room of the Sea Beach Hotel was filled with Cavts. There was hardly a person at the tables who was not perusing the great morning daily. The same thing might | have been observed in any of the other big caravansaries of the carnival city. The newsboys who were fortunate enough to secure a supply soon disposed of them. ‘Will 8. Grant, THE CALL agent, sold over 1500 more than his regular supply. Mr. Grant has fixed up his place of business in the most pronounced carnival attire. Yellow and white predominate, of course, but the colors are so arranged as to produce an elegant and pleasing effect. Tre CALL’s special trains to the carni- val city have been a great success, and the people have appreciated the work in the most practical way—by buying all the papers that were for sale. PINE AVER DAM BREAS Torrents of Water Are Sweeping Through Pelican Creek Val- ley, Minn. Buildings Washed From Their Founda- tions and Carried Away—No Loss of Life Reported. ST. PAUL, MixxN., June 19.—News has been received by courier that the Pine River Government dam has broken, and the water is pouring in torrents through the valley of Pelican Creek to the Missis- sippi. The break is about four miles from the dam proper, and was caused by the water running over the top of the bank and making a channel before it was discov- ered, and the water is now rushing through a break 200 feet wide.. There was a sixteen-foot head on the dam, which confined the water of seventeen lakes, all being bank full. The gates at the dam were raised at once in order to draw tne water into the Pine River, which is now running full. The water was rising this afternoon at the rate of one foot per hour in the new channel and also in Pine River. The buildings of A. T. Kimball, a hotel-keeper at Pelican Creek, have all been moved from their foundations and some of them swept down the stream in the new chan- nel. He saved his stock and furniture. At Brainerd they are preparing for a five-foot rise in the river, which will make it two feet higher than during the recent flood. No lives are reported lost. SOt S INTERESTS THE COAST.

The committee appointed by the con- vention to notify McKinley and Hobart of their respective nominations met this morning. The first-named committee will notify McKinley at Canton, O., on June 29. The committee appointed to notify Hobart will perform a similar service at Hobart’s home July 7. Mark Hanna was nominated for chair- man by Payne of Wisconsin, seconded by Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York, and was elected by the unanimous vote of the committee. Hanna accepted, making a short speech, and was received with ap- plause. Manley was made temporary chairman, Burke of Pittsburg temporary assistant secretary. Colone! Swords of lowa, ser- geant-at-arms of the old committee, was kept in that position temporarily. It was agreed that Chairman Hanna should have full authority to select all officers of the committee, including the treasurer, which office even was filled temporarily. At the instance of Thurston, the chair- man of the committee was authorized to appoint an executive committee of nine members. W. H. Andrews acted as proxy for Senator Quay, who early this morning started for the East. No successor has been elected to take the place of Hobart. Tue committee adjourned and will meet in New York in three weeks. BT e T DEPEW SHUNNED HONORS. Enthuslastic Republicans Wishes to Present His Name for Second Place. ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 19.—Chauncey M. Depew of New York will never havea more flattering opportunity to contest for a Vice-Presidential nomination than was presented to him yesterday. It was a part of well-founded gossip about the Southern Hotel last night that an earnest effort was made at one stage of vesterday’s proceed- ings to induce Mr. Depew to permit his name to go before the convention for sec- ond honors. From the moment of his arrival in the hall until an adjournment was reached ten hours later, Mr. Depew was easily one of the most conspicuous of the many dis- tinguished men present. His first appear- unce on the floor was the signal for a vig- orous hand clapping, both from the spec- tators in the galleries and the nine hun- dred and odd delegates. - These cordial manifestations of popularity were fre- quently repeated, so frequently that it was obvious that those present desired to im- prove every opportunity to indicate in this manner their affection for the great New York Republican. This was conspicuously so when at the close of the day Depew arose for the last time to second the motion to make Me- Kinley’s nomination unanimous. It was followed by a wave of applause of greater intensity and duration than any which had preceded it. It was these evidences of popularity that led some of Mr. Depew’s enthusiastic friends in certain of the delegations to re- auest permission to nominate him for the Vice-Presidency. While be was mani- festly flattered at the sincerity of purpose displayed by these gentlemen he does not appear to have been at all influenced by the suggestion. Politely but firmly he declined any suggestion of his name in connection with the second place, and while discouraging all efforts in that direction quietly used his influence with the New York delegation to support the Eastern candidate, Hobart of New Jersey. A ey McKINLEY’S EMBLEM. Colored Pampas Plumes Adopted in Honor of Mrs. Strong of Californla. ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 19.—The follow- ing letter has been received by the Unitea Press for publication: ST. Louts, Mo., June 19, 1896. To the Republican Party of the United States: In recognition of the courtesy of Mrs. H. W. R. Strong of Los Angeles, Cal., in presenting to the Republican Nationsl Convention, through its chairman and the chairmen of each State, the adopted Republican emblem of 1892, made of California pampas plumes (the only Ameri- can product cultivated for the beautiful), I do hereby recommenda to the party the use of this emblem in red, white and blue pampas, mounted fan-shape on a staff for parades and interior decorations. M. A. HANNA, Chairman. s MORTON DISAPPOINTED. Sits In Silence for a Moment After Hearing of McKinley’s Nomin- ation at St. Louis. ELLERSLEY, RHINEBECK-ON-THE-HUD- soN, N. Y., June 19.—When the news of McKinley’s victory in the National Repub- lican Convention at St. Louis was flashed across the private wire in the residence of Governor Morton last evening the Govern- or, who had been close to the insirument all day watching the convention proceed- ings, leaned back in his chair and said: “McKinley is nominated and the next President has been named.” There was something of an expression of disappcintment in the Governor's face. He sat for a moment in silence and then turning to a representative of the United Press he said: *‘The result is no surprise to me. Since the action of the National Committee in regard to the contesting delegates it has been a foregone conclusion that he would be named for President.” LNag R LONDON PRESS COMMENTS Rabld Attack Upon McKinley and Americans by the Semi-En=- lightened Standard. LONDON, E~a., June 19.—In its issue this morning the Daily News congratu- lates the Republicans of the United States if not on their candidate at least on their refusal to have anything to do with the mischievous currency deiusion. The Chronicle says: Nothing has been heard in this country of Mr. McKiunley’s personal character, except that it is hon- orable. The Standard says: McKinley is neither distinguished, learned nor wise. It is a victory of the common-place. Senator Teiler was right when he said that the gold standard and protection could not exist together in the United States. If hard and fast protectionism wins in No- vember a debased currency is almost cer- tain to follow. The foreign policy is to be truculence and fuss. England must not assert her rights, but must be thankful for what the great Republic condescends to give her. It is a reactionary platform in most respects. Tne moral level of party politics has fallen so low that men of the stamp of McKinley are about the best pro- curable. They are fully as good as the Nation deserves. Nominated a silverite. BEATTYVILLE, Ky., June 19.—The Democrats of the Tenth District this morn- ing nominated T. Y. Fitzpatrick, a silver- ite of Fioyd County, for Congress.
