umphed over another. They declared
the ticket an exceptionally good one
from beginning to end, and that the

HALIFAX, n. S., Aug. 1.-THE DAN
ish steamer Thingvalla was signaled off
the harbor at 6 o'clock this morning in
charge of Pilot William White, of Boat
No. 2. She crawled along at the rate of
two miles an hour, and three hours
elapsed before she arrived at the wharf

Third Officer Peterson's Story of
the Awful Calamity.

Special TO the GLOBE.
New YORK, Aug. 7.-Third Officer
Peterson, of the Geiser, who was on
watch when the terrible disaster oc-
Cured, says: 81 had just come on my
watch on the bridge when the collision
occurred. No sooner had l gone upon
the bridge when the crash came. The
steamer struck us amidships, but l
knew nothing about the presence of the
Thingyalla until the collision occurred.
My term on watch began just at 4
o'clock in the morning, and it was pre-
cisely at that honr when the crash came.
Almost as soon as the collision occurred,
the captain, who had been below in his
berth, was
ON THE BRIDGE IN COMMAND.
After the first life boat had capsized
j went to assist the second boat in get
ting clear of the vessel. Before got
to the boat a number of the boatmen
and passengers were trying to get it off.
This boat also capsized when it got to
the water. Within avery few minutes
the vessel began to sink with terrible
rapidity, and there seemed nothing to
stay on board and / jumped over
board, and was afterward with Capt.
Muller picked up by one of the Thing
valla boats. The captain stayed on the
SINKING snip untll she WeHt ooWH.
The Wieland did not arrive upon the
scene of the disaster until about 10
O'Clock. Capt. Albers' attention was
called to the floating wreckage, and he
ordered sharp lookout. An hour and
a half later the Thingvalla was sighted
flying a signal of distress. The transfer
of the Geiser's survivors and the pas
sengers of the Thingvalla was made with
great difficulty, owing to rolling swell,
and the work occupied several hours.
The apparent reluctance of Third Of
ficer Petersen to state the name of the
officer he was about to relieve when the
crash came arouses suspicion that
ALL WAS NOT RIGHT
on the bridge at that time. There is
rumor that First Officer Brown, who
was among those lost, was below when
Mr.. Petersen came on deck, instead of
being in his proper place Oh the bridge.

NEW YORK, Ang. 1.-THE executive
committee of the Republican national
committee had a meeting yesterday at
the Republican campaign headquarters,
at 81 Fifth avenue. From the statements
made concerning that meeting it must
have been more than lively one.
Morton, it is said, kicked all over the
traces when they demanded that he
should put up $4,000 to pay the ex-
penseS of Blaine'S reception here, and
thereby prevent an impending scandal.
After much urging the required funds
were secured, but only after deep and
bitter expressions egarding Blaine had
been uttered. After this matter was
settled the question as to what to do
with Blaine in the campaign was brought
up. On this point the committee
went all to pieces. Bitter animositles
and personal opinions came to the
surface in such pronounced way as to
show that the Republican committee
has gone all too pieces so far as harmony
is concerned. Blaine'S speech on
trusts gave the Harrison men on
the committee their first opportunity
to vent their spleen. 1t is authoritative
ly reported that they used this OppOrtu-
nifty to it's utmost, and that the discussion
became so intense as to almost lead to
irreparable division. The Harrison men
charge the Blaine men with scuttling
their presidential candidates. They told
them that if Republican defeat came
this fall it would be due entirely to the
fiasco of the Blaine reception. and the
fr,<, lxxyll of
in his celebrated speech indorsing
trusts. The Blaineites retorted
that that was all nonsense. That
if. there was any failure this fall it
would be charged entirely to the Harri-
son managers of the committee.
They openly stated that the DEM
ocratic committee was in thorough
and perfect working order; that
it had been going for fully
faur weeks, apd that even now, in eff
fectiveness, it was ten to one against the
Republican committee. They said that
the Republican organization was prac-
organized. That at the rate it was going
on they might throw up their hands
as we'll to-day as the evening of Nov. 6,
and that unless new blood, represented
in skilled men, was instilled into the
committee, all hope was gone. The
discussion of this point became so
bitter that in order to avoid
a permanent split Matt Quay
peremptorily brought the meeting to a
close and adjourned it until next week.
The Blaine men, however, were SO mad
that they have been talking all over
town. Quay got wind of this. He
is reported to have had
hurried consultation with Dudley
and Ciarkson. The result of this, it is
reported, was determination on their
part to Offset the dissensi0nS in their

HOW RECEIVED.
The Republicans Non-PIussed by
the Democratic Ticket.

The state ticket nominated by the
Democracy yesterday has completely
taken by surprise the Republican cam
paign managers, who make their head
quarters at the Merchants and Ryan.
The expressions that came from their
lips yesterday indicated bewildered
state of mind.
The nomination of Wilson and Buck
was a thunderbolt to them. They ex-
pected Wilson and Nelson; or Wilson
and Ludwig, but Wilson and Buck
that is hard to face.
The Merriam men looked glum.
What the GLOBE has asserted and what
the GLOBE repeats was wofully plain.
He will never be nominated.
Why? Because there are stronger
candidates than he, and the party is
now put on it's mettle. 1t must select
something more than gold for its
standard and do 1t in the interests Of
harmony. With the $4,000 votes which
Stanford Newell says the Prohibition
party will cast this fall, it would never
do to nominate loW-licenSe Millionaire
Merriam.
Is it Schef fer? Hardly that. Whether
it be true or not the low-license charge
sticks to him tenaciously, and how in
consistent to select him! Shall the
party repudiate high license and the
Chicago platform and nominate the
author of low license bill and the de-
nouncer of their national platform?
That is the question asked by Republi-
cans.
The McGill men are the ones who
seem most buoyant over the result of
the Democratic convention. They
claim his nomination as absolutely GER
tain now, based on the ground that the
potent objections offered to Merriam
and Scheffer cannot be presented against
him.
And if not McGili? Then it is Gilman
or Braden, with Rice in the outer dark.
Merriam, if he can, will nominate Rice
or Braden. Scheffer will favor Gill
man.
Out of this chaos it will be no surprise
to shrewd politician to see the nomlna-
ton of McGill come.
