MAINE REPUBLICANs.
The State Convention-Enth SIN
Over the ssFlorentine " osaic.''

PORTLAND, Me-, June 12.-The Repub-
lican State Convention bids fair to be the
largest and most enthusiastic held here
for years. At II o'clock Convention
Hall was packed, fully 5000 persons be-
ing present. Chairman Manley called
the Convention to order, and after prayer
Andrew p. Meiswell, temporary Chair
man, delivered the opening address. A
large portion OF his speech was devoted
to criticizing the action OF the President
in not sustaining the civil service reform
theories, and in his failure to meet the
fisheries question. The Presidents free
trade message was adversely commented
upon and compared with the action OF
Blaine, whose outspoken utterances were
commended by the speaker.
He said that Maine was largely inter
ested in the tariff bill, which would dis
astrously affect the lumber interests of
that State. The people have had enough
of three years OF Democratic administra-
ton with its blunders, and now they
want President who will protect Amer
ican citizens on land or sea, and that
man was James G. Blaine; but if they
could not have him the Republicans of
Maine would follow with unbroken ranks
tlt lcdQcIculB vi tlo SIltdeO nOuliACC.
Allusions 10 Blaine were received with
enthusiastic applause, repeated again and
again.
Burleigh WAS nominated governor on
the first ballot. The platform adopted
contains the following tariff plank:
Resolued: That free trade, as taught by the
British Golden Club and supported by Grover
Cleveland and the Democratic party, is hostile
to the industrial and business interests of the
United States, and that the Mills Tariff bill
should be opposed by all honorable and effec-
tive influences which the friends OF American
labor can exert, both in Congress and among
the people.
Resolved: That it is the duty of Con.
gress to reduce the National revenues ia
an amount which shall equal as
nearly as possible the annual expen-
ditures of the Government, including therein
liberal provisions for our veteran soldiers and
proper means OF national defense, and this
should be done in a way so as not to impair our
Republican protective system, which has
proved of inestimable value to American labor
and our home markets.
The Administration is denounced for
its course in the fisheries dispute. Pro-
hibition is endorsed. Greeting was sent
to the Republicans of Oregon and to Mr..
Blaine. A resolution was passed charg-
ing President Cleveland with insincerity
and hypocrisy in his policy OF civil SER
vice reform,

Getting Along svvimmingiy-Dea
of His Mother.


WASHINGTON, June 12, ga. M.-General
Sheridan passed quiet night, but was
somewhat disturbed after midnight by
coughing. His general condition this
morning is about the same.
1t was stated at the Sheridan residence
at IL 80 P. NJ. that the General was doing
remarkably well. He had rested quietly
all morning and his sleep was not broken
by fits OF coughing. He relishes what
he eats, and his appetite seems to be
growing.
2:15 A. M.- General Sheridan's condi-
ton remains the same as when the 0
O'Clock bulletin was issued.
DEATH of THE GENERALS MOTHER.
SOMERSET Ohio, ] June 12.-The mother
OF General Sheridan died to-day.
v ERY ENCOURAGING.
WASHINGTON, June 12.-9 P. M.-No
change in General Sheridan's condition.
His pulse rhnges from 104 to 106 and is
Of fair volu me and tension. He coughs
very little and his respiration remains
irregular. He takes plenty OF nourish-
ment without indications of failure OF
digestion OF assimilation. There will be
no other bulletin till tomorrow morning.
The General has not been informed OF
the death Of his mother.
Mrs. Shetidan was born in county Ca
van, Ireland, came to the United States
in 1928 and to Ohio in 1882. She was
modest in appearance; her stature was
snail and her weight Of late did
not exceed seventy pounds. She lived
in the home which the General pur-
chased for the family prior to the war.
The mother surely was provided with all
the heart could wish OF this world 8
store. Reports concerning the dangerous
condition OF her son were studiously kept
from he, but she knew he was sick.

NOT A PLANO.
Large Consignment of Smuggled
Opium Captured.

ST. LOUIS, June l2.-Surveyor of Port
R. D. Lancaster yesterday afternoon
swooped down upon piano box at the
Wabash freight depot, marked, "Piano;
handle with care; Mrs. L. Lewis, Tulare,
Cal.," and deposited it in the United
States Government warehouse, where it
was opened and found to contain 1000
tin cans Of opium, aggregating 6s5
pounds. The opium is prepared for
smoking, and the duty on it amounts to
$3.50. Its commercial value is $23, ,975.
The officials will give no information
but this seizure is apparently part of the
general attack along the lime, and de-
velopments are promised shortly that
may implicate many officials in the Gus
toms service. So far as could be learned
to-day, opium is shipped to interior
points of entry, and from there re-
shipped until lost sight of. That this le-
shipping may be successfully attended
to, it is charged, requires assistance from
the inside.

In Imminent Danger.

DULUTH Mimi, June 12.-Not only is
there no abatement of the St. Louis
River flood, but the situation grows more
serious every hour, and the i'm
preston deepens that great
catastrophe to Cloquett and its lumber
ing interests by the breaking away
Of logs there will occur within few
hours. The water has risen over a foot
to-day and is still rising. If the jam
breaks the logs will carry away all the
houses on the island, twenty-five or thirty
in number, and probably Nelson's mill
also. 1t is raining hard to night.

A Number of People Killed and In.
tured.

New YoRK, June l2.-Fire broke out
at one o'clock this morning in a four

his willingness that the country should
know he was resisting attempted tyran-
ny.
The vote then proceeded but no quor-
um voted, and another roll was
called.
Some warmth was shown throughout
the colloquy, but by earnest efforts made
by the Chairman and Cannon, of Illinois,
and Mcmillan, Of Tennessee, good-nature
was again restored, and the floor
was accorded to Scott who dis
claimed any intention OF being
factious in bis objections to the with
drawal OF Kelly motion, but when for
NAL amendments were made to simply
purpose delay, he believed it was his
duty, in the interest of the men of the
country, whbse interests were more or
less jeopardized even by the dicussion Of
the bill, to endeavor to secure vote upon
the measure so that the business men OF
the country would know what they had
to do in order to manage their affairs.
He had no other object in view.
Kelly then offered his formal amend
ment to strike out the last word, and
protested that he had offered no amend
ment during the ten or twelve days Of
the discussion from any other than cred
table and patriotic motives. He with
drew his formal amendment, and the
motion to strike jute butts from the list
was defeated.
The Com mmittee then rose and the
House adjourned.

PoTsDAM, June 12.-The bulletin issued
at o 80 this morning says: The difficulty
in swallowing which has troubled the
Emperor recently has increased, and the
taking of nourishment is becoming diff
cult. The Emperor feels weaker this
morning.
1t is considered by the Emperor's
physicians that the Emperor's disease
has possibly reached the @sophagus. At
the same time, they consider that the
difficulty he experiences in taking nour-
ishment may be temporary.

sociation was held at Weller S Repettl's

street southeast, last night. Mr. Noting.

also In reference to the dangerous railroad
switch on X street.

were edopted after debate, the principal
one being that the committees OF the asso-
citation should conform TO those Of the cen.
tral committee, and that the delegates OF
the association should be placed on the same
association committees that they serve on
in the central committee. The third Mon
day In December was set apart for the
election of officers for the association aud
the delegates to the central committee.
