POLITICAL POINTS.
Elections and ConventiOns-Neyy
Hampshire Republicans.

CONCORD, N. H., May S.-The Re-
publican State National Convention
met to-day, and was called to order
by J. H. Gallinger, who made short
address, congratulating them upon
the favorable outlook for the party.
His reference to Blaine was greeted
with long and continued applause.
Henry E. Burnham, of Manchester,
was chosen permanent chairman.
Burnham made a long address in
which he reviewed the career and
achievements of the Republican party
and its great benefit to the country,
while the Democratic party has only
given US Grover Cleveland and three
years of pretence and hypocrisy, his
subserviency to the free traders Of the
South and the shameful. surrendering
OF the great American interests in
trusted to his keeping, and an ad-
ministration which has been a con-
slant menace to our most important
business interests, and which has
finally proclaimed its hostility to the
long established policies of the
country under which it has attained
its greatest prosperity.
The platform denounces the admin
istration for its tariff policy, for it
pension policy, for its fisheries policy
and for its "pretence" civil servic,
reform. The platform is par
ticularly severe upon the WOO
clause in the Mills tariff bill
1t denounces the Democratic
party for identifying itself will
the interests of the liquor dealer
throughout the country, and instruct
its delegates this day elected to Chi
cago to use every honorable effort Il
place in nomination ticket that vii
command universal confidence, def
every assault and be resistless at tn
polls. A ticket, that in its triumph
which we unhesitatingly predict
shall restore the government to tn
only party that is national in its aim
and just in its purposes.

THE NEVADA BANK.
Change of management Under
DiScuSslOM.

SAN Francisco, May S.-The state
ment is now made that the negotia-
tions pending in the matter of the
Bank of Nevada provide that Messrs.
Mackay and Flood will retire, and
that a syndicate, with James
G. Fair at the head, will
assume charge of the institution.
Mr.. Davis, the late President of the
Pacific Coast Railroad will, it is said,
take prominent part in the manage
ment of the organization. At the
meeting to-day the matter would un-
doubtedly have been consummaied
on the basis mentioned had it not been
for the fact that at present two
other parties are figuring on taking up
the bulk Of the stock in their own in
diyidual interests. 1t is satisfactorily
assured that all danger Of the bank
closing its doors and retiring from
business is past.

4 Associated Press Dispatches to the HnsAnp

1Associsted Press Dispatches TO the HERALD.
SAN Francisco, May SIT is now
learned that the steamer Queen OF the
Pacific sustained far creates injuries
than was at first considered possible.
This morning thorough examina-
ton was made in her engine room
and around her boilers. 1t was dis
covered that new boilers will probably
have to be built. The whole steamer
is b badly strained and the loss is ex-
.ceedingly heavy. The cargo was dis
charged to-day and every article
taken from the hold that could
be ruined by water is a total
loss. Some baggage was. removed
and almost all was found to
be ruined by the sea water. Ex-
Governor Perkins spent several hours
this morning in trying to get at the
truth. He is forced to the conclusion
that some one knocked the headlight
open, most probably with the inten-
ton of venting his spite against the
company by letting the water run i'll
and damage the cargo, probably,
however, for the purpose of sinking
the steamer. The Ex-Governor said:
81 have questioned every ran
OH board who could be
expected to shed any light on
the case. The lower dead
light was open and water rushed i'll
through it. The cover was made snug
and secure by two men, glass being
first placed in position and then an
iron cover being screwed on by nuts
from the inside. The cover was on
at midnight, for the watch found no
water in the hold at that fine. A
wrench was hung by the headlight,
and the nuts could not have been
loosened without its use. l am SO
thoroughly convinced that some
one opened the headlight that /,
myself, will offer reward of
$500 for the information that will lead
to the arrest of the guilty man. IT.
may have been one OF our employees
who knew of the prediction by the
spiritualists and took advantage Of
the opportunity to get even with the
company and blame it on prophets.
Some time ago Captain Alexander
had some trouble with his
men. Some OF them deserted and
the dispute was settled by the courts.
1T may have been that one or more of
the dissatisfied element stole down to
the headlight and opened it, not
thinking that the Queen would sink,
but counting on giving us chance to
pay for damages.

Loses Ground.
New York, May 8.-Littlewood
still continues to lead in the six-day-
walk. Since the start he has been
off the track only two hours and
twenty eight minutes. Hughes hangs
on with Dogged presistency and Cart
wright has been steadily losing
ground; he stays off the track more
than any OF the others. There were
but few people in the garden after
midnight and nothing of interest oc-
Cured. The score at 8 O'Clock this
morning was: Littlewood, 173 miles /;
Cartwright, 155 miles; Golden, 153
miles; Hegeman, 127 miles; Capana,

Hughes, 162 miles; Herty, 1876 miles
j. Guerrero, 135 miles; Dillon, 129
miles; Noremae, 149 miles.
LrrrLEwooD PASSED.
The most exciting scene Of the day
occurred shortly after noon. Hughes
knowing Littlewood was probably dis
abled, rolled up lap after lap; slowly
he gained on Littlewood, until at
1915 he passed him amid the en-
thusiastic shouts of the spectators.
At 2 O'Clock he was six miles in the
lead. Hegeman and Day have with
drawn.
Midnight score = Hughes, 232 !;
Littlewood, 225; Herty, 225; Golden

WASHINGTON, May S.-The message
of the President, transmitted yes
terday, returning without his approval
the bill for the sale Of certain New

ferred to the Committee on Indian
Affairs.
Bryce New York; rising to Ques-
ton of privilege, read the language
used by Woodburn (Nevada) referring
to ex-Congressman Hewitt, as having
apologized to the British Minister for
offering a resolution of inquiry as to
the case Of O'Donnel, under sentence
of death in Great Britain. Boyce
stated he had denied the correctness
of the statement and in vindication of
his denial, he had received telegram
from Mayor Hewitt, energetically de-
nying he had ever apologized to the
British Minister and letter in which
he details the circumstances of the
case. Mr.. Bryce also sent
| to the clerks desk and had read
a statement made by Minister West,
| in 1884, denying Hewitt had apollo
pissed to him for his part in the trans
action. These documents Mr.. Bryce
thought were sufficient to disprove
the charges which had been brought
against relative of his, by marriage,
and an honorable gentleman. Con-
tinuing, Bryce said: 1T was plainly
the purpose Of the gentleman from
Nevada to excite against Hewitt the
feeling of war n-hearted and gener-
ous people with whose struggles for
liberty | often heard Hewitt say he
lsympathizes as he does with himself.
