part of the town, including mill yards and

but not by booms, which will be powerless
to keep them back. There are over ,000,-
600 feet there. and they are iammed in In
anticipation of the breaking away of the
jam. everybody has moved from the island
carrying away all the effects possible. Eve
witnesses of the scene there say it is a

impending calamity. If the jam breaks
the logs will carry everything before them,
including all the houses on the island
there, twenty five or thirty. with great dan
ger that they may strike and demolish the

but the well-informed man admits that he
cant predict the result.
Ihe event OF the day has been the for
NAL presentation Of the name Of Depew by
the New York delegation, and active efforts
are now being put forth to find out how
Depew stands. 1t is safe to saw that a
large part of the New York delegation
think 1t indiscreet to present Depew 8

his candidacy is most unfayorably re-
garded.
The Allison boom is growing right along.

the nomination comes west it will 70 to
Allison or Sherman. Sherman will lead
all the candidates on the first ballot. 1t is
doubtful II he can grow to the requisite ex-
tent. No candidate is in such favorable
attitude as Allison to receive compromise
votes. Iowa men are hopeful of his sue
cess and they are here in droves.
The Blaine boom grows in noise in the
lobbies and on the streets. 1t is said that
California will throw his name into the
convention. Blaine's discreet friends hope
precipitate action may be avoided. 1t does
not seem that conditions will arise to make
biaine's nomination possible, and ii would
be madness to think of trying to nominate
him except at time when the convention
was In state of exhaustion. The dele
gates are disposed to find candidate who

or apologies will be required.
new element in the presidential con-
test was made apparent last night when
the Dakota men and Washington territory
contingent, representing twelve votes, op-
eniy declared that they will take care of
their friends. Sherman's friends are exult-
ant. Dakota's cause had been ably cham
ploned in the national committee by Col.
Hooker, of Vermont, a pronounced Sher-
man man. Allisons friends also put in
claim on Dakota's good will in return for
the services of j. S. Clarkson, who had al
SO stood by Dakota in the national COM
mittee. The change to Dakota last night
by John G. New, of Indiana and Lawson,
OF New York, was interpreted as threaten
ing to mean that Harrison perhaps had q
mortgage on fresh support from Dakota,
and that the ambition Of Warner Miller, of
New York, to be chairman of the conven-
tion would receive help from the same
source. ]. NJ. Bailey, Of Dakota, who was
spokesman for the territory before the ma
tional committee, said that the delegation
mad not settled upon a candidate.
