GEN. MILES, MISTAKE.
His Magnanimity May Save Geronimo
and His Murderous Hand.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-The annual report
of General Miles is still in the hands of the
President and has been the subject of brief
conference between himself and Secretary
Endicott, but it is understood no line of &C
ton has yet been decided upon in relation to
that portion relating to the surrender Of &C.
ronimo. While the text Of the report is not
yet accessible for publication. 1t is known
that in respect to the matter Miles does not
ex lain himself to the satisfaction of the
authorities. and that his granting of condi-
lions, which are row und rstooI to be even
more liberal than has heretofore been sup
Tosed, is subject to embarrassment and per
plexity Without saying so in emphatic
terms it is gathered from the Generals
roundabout expressions on the subject that
an agreement was made that the lives of the
prisoners should be spared, and that they
should be removed at once from Arizona In
this respect Miles has, is said, gone contrary
to the well understood wishes of his superiors,
which amounts practically to disobedence Of
orders. The only reason suggested for this
course in the absence Of any satisfactory state
ment on this point from NJ les is the fear that
if he did not secure the prisoners in this way
they would make terms with and surrender
themselves to the Mexicans. This would
have rendered the termination of the CAM
paign apparently less creditable to the Ameri-
cans. In this state Of affairs there seems to
be nothing which the authorities can do for
the punishment of the prisoners except to
keep them permanently as prisoners of war.
Even should the civil authorities of Arizona
demand them for trial, with most positive
proof Of murder ready for presentation, the
hands of the administration would be tied.

Tho Democratic State Convention
Held Mt Boston.

BosToN, Sept, 3l.-rhe Democratic State
Convention was called to order this morning.
2 A. Collins, chairman, spoke few words in
;he opening. John S. Andrews, of Boston, was
nominated for Governor by reclamation.
The substance of the resolutions presented
s as follows: The democrats OF Massachu-
,etts hereby reaflirm the principles enuncated
n the national democratic platform Of 1884,
Ind view with satisfaction the benefcent re-
suits OF democratic rule in the nation. Pres
dent Cleveland has kept his faith with the
people; he 10 redeening the pledges Of reform
IN which he was elected, and has given to the
country clean, capable and patriotic admin
stration worthy Of the support Of all the
friends Of good government We demand
tudicious reform Of the tariff. All needed
protection to capital and labor engaged in
various industries can be assumed under the
evised scale Of duties, which will afford all
he revenues required by the government and
elieve the great body Of the people Of the
aeavy weight of taxation. Honest money
must be maintained. The gold ard silver
coinage of the constitution and the circulating
paper medium are based on both coInages and
are easily convertible into either and must

oppose all efforts to admit rivals under a
foreign flag to sell their fish free Of duty and
The taxes in the markets Of the United States.
We welcome the new era Of organized labor,
We recur with satisfaction to the efforts Of the
democrats In the legislature to secure the
passage OF measures In the interests Of labor
md can fairly appeal to the working people Of
he state to sustain the party which has fought
heir battles. We protest against the mpor
alton under contract, Of alien and seville labor
20 compete with honest free labor Of this land
and we pledge our support to every we'll con-
ildered measure by which labor seeks to i'm
prove its condition and secure its fair share
n the products In its cooperation with capital.
J. s. Grinnell then took the floor and nomi-
,ated John F. Andrews, of Boston, for Gov
,rnor. The motion for informal ballot was
ost and Andrews was nominated by an al
most unanimous vote. A committee was ap-
pointed to nominate members Of the State

naming officers on the State ticket after
which an adjournment was taken till 2:3O p

synopsis OF Platform Adopted by the
Democratic state Convention.

TRENTON, Sept. 20-The Democratic State
convention met yesterday, Judge j. Wescott
being temporary chairman.
The committee on resolutions presented the
platform, of which the following are the salient
features: 1t reaffirms the doctrine laid down
in the National platform at Chicago; endorses
the administration of President Cleveland ;con-
graduates the country on the success Of the
party In reducing the taxation and cost OF the
government; expresses sorrow at the deaths Of
Grant, Mcclellan, Seymour, Hendricks and
Tiden. On the labor question 1t says: The
Democratic party sympathizes with the work.
ingmen of the country, and recognizes the
justice Of their complaints against invidlous
legislative distinctions which have been made
in favor OF the consolidated capital aud we
submit that an unbiased view of the rec
ords Of the Democratic party supports Its
claims to the title Of protector Of the working
men and women Of the United States. We are
in favor Of an enactment that will remedy the
evils of which labor justly complains We fav-
or the protection OF the wage workers Of the
country In their right to fair compensation, and
denounce as unjust the laws which protect
capital in its assault upon labor. Labor and
capital should be friends, seeking common
prosperity, and to the end that this friend
ship may be promoted, we favor legislative
encouragement of the principles Of arbitra-
ton. l. r. Greene was nominated for Cover

Advantages of Politics.

Politics Is career which is at least
FREQ from tina. drudgcry of tho profess
sions and the anxieties and failures Of
trade. II is a life livelier than that of
tho country gentleman; more manly,
more wholesome land, of course. infn-
itely more respectfully than that Of
the literary man; honester than that Of
most parsons. IL may lead TO almost
anything--exccpt failure. In politics
there, practically speaking. are no fail
ures to those who play tho game.
About the worst thing that can happen
to q man in parliament is to be bored,
and if he is bored he can 60 to sleep, or
into the smoking-room. But public
life is not all boredom by any means.
On the contrary, il provides, for those
who care. for such things, good deal
Of pleasant social intercourse and much
interesting gossip. A man may be
constantly in the public eye. and in the
receipt Of good income from the state,
and yet get his rubber pretty nearly
every evening. II he has wife (and
does not take her to the ladies' gallery
she will think more of him than II he
was n mere lawyer or doctor. II he
has daughters they will go to more
balls than they would II their father
was not in the public line, and better
balls. too, and meet more eligible
partners. II Inc has sons he can enjoy
the supreme satisfaction of jobbIng for
them. Certainly it is, all things con-
sidered, not bad life. that of the prac-
teal politician. There are, however
two sorts Of men whom it does not suit
These are the patriot and the man OF
genius. Such often break their hearts
over the business. London Truth.

THE FAR NORTH.
What Lieutenant Schultz, OF the Navy,
says.

WASHINGTON, Oct 4.-Lieutenant Schultz,
Of the navy, who has returned from Siberia,
where he distributed the rewards Of the
United States to those who assisted the I'M
fortunate crew Of the JEANETTE, is of the
opinion that war between Germany and
France will be one Of the historical events of
the next few years. He says that he CLEANED
enough information to satisfy him that Bis
marck's fondest hope is to cripple France so
that she will not recover in q century. 1t
Is apparent In France that the French people
are only awaiting an opportunity to bear
down on Germany, and Bismarck intends 10
anticipate such action, by attacking France
before she is prepared for war. Bismarck
is being ridiculed BY Germans for this weak
policy toward Russia, but Lieutenant Schultz
says that those who know the cd mau best
hint that he is making concession after con-
cession to the car, only to prevent an alliance
between France and Russia, in case war is de-
clared. Lieutenant Schultz brought with him
a map Of a projected canal across the lower
portion Of Denmark, which will enable Ger
many to concentrate her fleet either in the
North or Baltic sea within two DAYS after the
issuing of an order directing such a move
ment At present it takes more than week
to travel from sea to sea. Lieutenant Schultz
will complete the report upon his European
trip in ten days, and will then go St. Louis to
visit his family.

A TEXAS DELUGE.
Great Suffering and Much Property
Destroyed.

ST.. LOUIS, Sept. 29.-Advices from the
southwestern coast of Texas, particularly in
the region of the mouth of the Rio Grande and
from interior points, give accounts Of great
rain storm and much destruction of property
during the past week. From the 2lst to the
23d tremendous rain storm and hurricane
swept over the vicinity Of Brownsville, Tex,
including Matamoras. There was 20 inches Of
rainfall up to the night of the 23d, and the
wind is said to have reached velocity Of near
ly 100 miles per hour. Over 200 houses in
Brownsville were blown down and large
number damaged, rendering homeless some
300 families. In Matamoras over 300 houses
were leveled and many injured. The entire
rear part Of the city, embracing over 30 blocks,
was flooded TO the depth of from to feet
and people living there were rescued only with
the greatest difficulty. All the telegraph lines
were blown down, and the Rio Grande g. Mat.
amoras and Monterey railroads were washed
out, and traffic has not yet been restored. All
the surrounding country was inundlted, many
houses blown down and crops destroyed.
There is great suffering In both Matamoras
and Brownsville In the latter place fully $50
families are destitute, and in the former 400
families are homeless and in want. RELIEF
measures have been adopted and large amounts
of food and money have been raised and is be-
ing distributed At Point Isabel the quaran-
tine station was swept away and other damage
done. A fourmasted steamer was wrecked
30 miles south Of the mouth of the Rio Grande
and is said to be total loss. Her name is
unknown, but she is thought to have been an
English vessel. Her captain and crew were
saved. At Colorado, Texas, the river has risen
25 feet, and at last accounts was still rising.
All the tributary creeks are overlooking and
large sections of country are submerged.
Very heavy rains have fallen In other sections
and much apprehension is felt for the safety
Of property.

THE BUREAU OF LABOR.
Second Annual Report OF the Commis-
kiOner.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-The second annual
report of the bureau Of labor, now in the
course of pre-. arati)n, will be a much more
comprehensive document than the report laid
before Congress last winter. A thorough eK-
animation has been made OF the relations of
convict labor to free labor, and every peniten-
tiary, jail and workhouse in the United States
whose inmates are employed In industrial
pursuits has been visited by agents Of the
bureau. Their reports will be carefully tabu-
lated and taking those tables as basis, it is
believed the extent to which the Independent
laborer or mechanic is affected by prison
workers can be shown with sufficient exact
ness to serve as guide for future legislation
on the subject. The report will also include
statistics touching the labor strikes in this
country. The inquiries of the bureau on this
subject cover period of time ranging from
January l, 1881, down to July Of the present
year. From the da'a collected deductions Of
the general character will be with a view 20
the establishment OF certain rules that may
aid in forecasting the probable result of fu-
ture strikes of such concerted movements
upon the laborng and employing class and
industries affected. The full report will prob
ably be completed about the beginning Of the
coming year

ring.

CHARLESTON, Sept. 2s.-There have been
no further shocks felt here since the one at
Los p. IN. to-day, but this, together with the
two light ones felt before daybreak this morn
ing, have caused feeling of deep, half-sup-
pressed uneaslness throughout the city to-
night A good many people who professed to
have no faith in Virgins, are now beginning
to think, in view of the earthquake vibrations
of Yesterday, that perhaps he might be right
after all. At any rate considerable anxiety ia
felt for what tonight and tomorrow may
bring forth and great relief will be felt IL no
serious disturbance occurs during the next
twenty-four hours Extra precautions are be-
ing taken tonight by a large number Of per-
sons in the way of getting safe places to sleep,
and many go to bed with their zoos on.
Advices received here to-day from Edgefeld
county, which state that on Friday morning a
heavy, sharp earth CULVER was felt there about
O'Clock. II was found after daylight that
there were large cracks In the earth running
north and south, varying in length from $50 to
20G0 yards, and fron! one to three inches wide
From SONS OF these cracks strong sulphorous
smoke arises, and in one instance where these
assures pass through cotton field, the smoke
or fumes arising therefrom have apparently
killed vegetation for $50 to 200 feet on either
side Of the crack
