The American Line steamship British
Crown, Captain NOVEL;, which sailed
from Liverpool on February 6, fol
Philadelphia, is now nearly a week
overdue, and her owners and agents
are somewhat exercised over her non.
arrival. Incoming steamers report
field ice and icebergs on the transatlan-

countered on the passage. The steam

gers. and a large cargo Of general mer-
cbandse. The British Crown was built

steamer, one of the stauncaos. crossing
the Atlantic. She is commanded by
Captain NOVEL;, an able and expert

INDIANAPOLIs, Feb. "a The Repub-
lican Convention Of Wayne County,
Commissioner Dudley's home, unani.
mously passed a resolution yesterday
asking Colonel Dudley, for the good OF
the party, to take the head Of the State
ticket az candidate for Governor. This
action was quite unexpected, in view
of the Colcnels repeated declinations,
and of the fact that in 1880, when "a
strong pressure was brought to bear
upon certain quarters for Dudley's s
nomination, his own county was not
unanimous in his support, and thereby
put an end to any probability of his
nomination. The action yesterday was
with great enthusiasm, and may have
great Influence in this vexed question.
