Butterworth's Notable Words.

In the Republican Party Interviewed
Butterworth's Notable Words.
PITTSBURGH, PA, June 14.-There wai
a notable gathering of Republicans at the
Union Station this morning en- route tt
Chicago. Among the number were Sena
tor Spooner, of Wisconsin; Senator Stock
bridge, Of Michigan, and Congressman
Mckinley and Butterworth, of Ohio
While taking breakfast, the gentlemen
were all disposed to talk quite freely.
Senator Spooner said: "The indications
point to the selection of one candidate
from New York and the other from Indi'
ana. 1t is necessary that one Of the candi
dates belong to Indiana, and il is unfOrtu-
nate that two residents from that State
should be in the field.
Senator Stockbridge said the Michigan
delegation was not only going to present
Gen. Alger's name, but would nominate
him. The delegation was solid.
Hon. Benz. Butterworth said the conven'
ton would be the greatest ever held by
either of the parties, Upon it" said he,
depends the future, more than ever, Of
the Republican party. 1t means thntsthe
future will either be one of grand success:
or the going to pieces of the party. If
destructive element tries to nominate q
man whom wiser heads know might be de
feated, then we might as well divide the
assets aud build up the party anew,
But 1 do not expect such a re-
suit. believe wise course will bs
pursued and a strong man nominated.
The talk of more Blaine letters is non
sense, Blaine's honor lies between himself
and acceptance of the nomination aftel
the two letters he has written. would
regard it as an indiscretion in his friends
to crowd his name into the Convention
after these two letters"
Msjor Mckinley said Sherman was sur,
of 800 votes on the first ballot, and he ha(
every reason to believe he would be nomi
mated. "Blaine," he said, twas out o
the race. The platform would be square
ly for protection"

Clarkson, on behalf of the subcommittee
of arrangemente, making report concern
ing the plan Of seating that had beer
adopted. Sanborp, of Michigan; Hooker,
of Vermont; Lynch, of Mississippi; Payne,
Of Wisconsin; Lytle, Of Illinois; New, o.
Indiana, and Conger, Of Ohio, took par'
in the discussion that the report gave
rise to. The allotment Of two hun
dred more tickets to Chicago than the
original seven hundred proposed was the
nub of the debate. As result, the mum
Der of tickets for local distribution was de
creased, being restricted from total OF SOC
to $50, including those to be given the
Mayor for distinguished guests.
II was nearly an hour before the matter
of tickets was finally settled.
The matter of preparing roll OF the
convention was, on motion Of Mr.. Conger
referred to a sub committee Of five to re
port tomorrow. Msssrs Conger, Fessen
dem, Leland, Hobart and Brownlow wers
appointed as committee to prepare thf
roll.
Littler, of Illinois, suggested that at the
times when the convention was not il
session the hall be opened to crowds o.
visitors who would be unable TO get II
when the convention was in session. The
suggestion was fayorably received, but on
second thought the committee agreed that
the plan would involve numerous dlfflcui'
ties and that it would be necessary TO tirsi
obtain the consent Of the Auditorium
Company. The idea was then dropped.
Mr.. Clarkson called attention to the
matter of selecting chaplain. Several
members of the committee at once inter
jected that a different chaplain every
morning was desirable. One committee
man mischievously moved that no chap
lain be selected by the name of Burchard.
Another gentleman moved that the chap
lain's prayer every morning be submitted
in manuscript before delivery to the chair
man of the convention.
Chairman Jones thought the officers OF
the convention would have enough to dt
to attend to their own prayers. The mat
ter Of prayer and chaplains was theI
promptly relegated to the subcommittee
of arrangements.
Without taking up the contests, Of which
there are several, including the importan
one from Virginia between the Mahon'
and Riddleberger delegations, or the ap
pointment of temporary officers for tn
convention, about which so much interes
centers, the committee at ! p. m. adjourn
ed until O'Clock tomorrow night.

THE NORTHWESTERN FLOOD.
Part Of Town Carried Away by Millions
of Loose Logs.

Of Loose Logs.
SUPERIOR, Wis, June 14.-Several mil
lion feet of logs broke loose from the booms
above Clcquet yesterday, and came tearing
down the stream to the island, on which
several hundIed people live, doing great
damsge. The buildings carried away were
as follows: The Freeman House, Everett
House, Tyndall's saloon and boarding
house, Bovey's barber chop, Wallace's
-four and feed store, McCullough's saloon,
Blaks's and Smiths saloons. the court
house and Jail and the dwellings Of Forge
Price, Anthony Shannon, George Shaffney,
NJ. T. McGovern. Thirty or forty other
buildings are surrounded by water to the
extent Of seven or eight feet, and most OF
them have been abandoned. The St Paul
and Duluth railroad at Fon du Lac is un-
der two feet of water, and the depot and
other buildings have been abandoned and
are likely to be carried away at any time.
The yards Of the c. N. Nelson Lumber
Company, at Cloquet, are under water to
the depth Of ten feet and temporary
booms have been constructed to keep the
lumber from floating of. Communication
between the mainland and the inundated
island is maintained by boats, but is be-
coming dangerous. At the falls near
Clcauet the scene is one Of msgnifi-
cent beauty. In twenty years 80
great volume of water has
not been known, and as it washes
down over the rocks in great waves OF
foam, it forms picture not to be forgot
ten. Great trees are thrown into the air
and torn into shreds. No lives have been
lost as yet, but doubtless some will be.
The st. Paul and Duluth Railway has
abandoned the line from Duluth to North
ern Pacific Junction and is running trains
over the Northern Pacific Railroad via Su-
perior. Grave fears are felt rs to the safety
Of the st. Paul and Duluth bridge across
ST. Louis bay, and a large force Of men is
stationed there to prevent jam from form.
ing. The loss to lumbermen at Cloquet
will be enormous, as the logs will have to

tugs, and it will be impossible to save
them all. The loss thus far is roughly
estimated at $500,

Pacific slope for Blaine.

DENVER, Col, June 14.-Charles F.
Crocker, of the California delegation which
passed through to-day, said: "While we
are all for Blaine, we do not desire to have
the people understand that we will cast
our votes solid for him on the first ballot.
If Blaine will not accept we will consult
our friends in Indiana. New York and
other States, and will then support the
candidate who will have the greatest influ-
epce in carrying the doubtful States.
We have not yet thought of
Vice President and will give
no attention to this until we have deter
mined upon a man to fill first place. We
have only one thing to ask of the conven-
lion. We will present the name of M. M.
Estes, of Napa, for temporary chairman,
and would like to see him unanimously
elected"
Mr.. BARN, chairman of the Oregon del
egatiou, had nothing to say except that
they were all for Blaine.
The party express themselves as having
had most delightful trip, and expect to
reach Chicago some time Saturday.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Congreesmau

great deal of time discussing the proposi,

the Mills who had introduced the

instead of all the othar mills in the coun,

Taylor tried to evade a direct answer
but the Democrats would not let him pro

PITTsBURG, PA, June 14.-When Mr.
Prosser presented the resolutions at the
Amalgamated Association Convention, yes
terday, denouncing the Mills bill, rather
unexpected resistance was encountered.
Out of the 13S delegates present 80 made
objections to the Wholesale denunciation
of the Mills bill. They maintained that
while the bill was Objectionable on account
of its reductions in she tariff on metal,
there were nevertheless some very COM
mendable things in it. The resolutions
were discussed uitevigorously for q time,
and il was found necessary to make come
concessions to the minority. The resolu-
tions were accordingly modified, and
through the notifications seven Of the 80
were won over. On final ballot lis dele
gates voted for the sdoption Of the resolu-
tions, and % against While the resolu-
tions are being published as the sentiment
of the representative body Of the Amslga-.
mated Association, tue important fact OF
how the vote stood should be taken into
consideration. Thiity men of that body
fayoring at least q aumber Of features OF
