SPARKS STUPIDITY.
Trouble Caused by His Rulings In Re-
gard TO the Public Lands.

CHICAGO, Sept Pa dispatch from Port
land, Ore, says: The rulings made by the late
Commissioner Sparks Of the general land Of
nee have caused great deal Of trouble in the
northwest Many persons who took up Claims
under The timber land act and paid S2.50 per
acre could not get a patent for them on account
OF Sparks ruling that they were agricultural
lands. Anumber Of persons brought suit against
the government to compel an issuance of their
patents, and Judge Dealy decided that the de-
partment must issue the patents in cases where
the land had been paid for and a
certificate issued to the purchaser. The
supreme court Of the United States however
decided that the department could not be
forced to issue patents, and the government
stu holds on TO the money paid for the land as
well rs to the land itself. Now an ATTEMPT is
to be made to force the government TO disgoree
the money it has taken for these lands. A. G.
Emmons, to whom three persons have assigned
their claims. brought suit in the US. circuit
court yesterday against the United States gov
ernment to recover l,230, the amount paid
Tor three quarter sections of land and so for
advertising each. This is the first case OF the
kind brought and the result will be looked for
with interest, as the government is holding
hundreds Of thousands OF dollars OF settlers
cash.

A BRILLIANT BLAZE.
A Candle Factory Near Cincinnati Badly
Damaged by Fire.

CINCINNATI. ONO, Sept. 26.-Shortly before
midnight last night fire was discovered in the
works OF the Emery candle company, located
in the suburban town OF RiverdaIe. The fire
was in the grease ware house, a two-story brick
building LOBBY l20 feet When discovered the
names had already gained such headway that il
was impossible for the fremen 20 get close
enough to throw on any water. The entire
building was enveloped in flames in q few
minutes, and the reflection Of the blaze
ILLUMINATED THE ENTIRE CITY
The fire was confined TO the cooperage build
ing by the fremen from ST. Bernard, Eimwood
and the local department of the Proctor q
Gamble company. Just east Of the warehouse,
but a few yards distant from the fire, were five
large oil tanks, each holding 1900 barrels and
all full For time there was imminent dam
ger that the flames would reach these tanks,
and had the fire reached them the consequent
loss through the spreading of the oil 70 adja-
cent property would have reached into the MIL
lions. The falling in of the walls of the burn
ing building alone is what saved their tanks
The FIRE started among the shavings in .he
cooperage adjoining the warehouse. The loss

MISSISSIPPI REPUBLICANS.
A Lively Time at the State Convention
Yesterday.

JACKSON, MISS, Sept. 26.-Yesterday' repub-
lican state convention was called to order by
J. r. Lynch, fourth auditor Of the Treasury, in
short and partisan speech. Ex-senator
Bruce was selected as chairman, and Post
master Gibbs of this city secretary. Bruce
made a rather conservative speech, and the re-
port OF the committee on credentials showed
about sixty Of the seventy-four counties repre-
sented by upward Of 200 delegates, the colored
element predominating by six to one.
While the committee on credentials was out
Gen. Chalmers delivered bitter partisan
speech. He announced himself in favor of
federal control of elections and said that if in
the coming contest any fighting must be done
the white republicans would do it and that the
negroes could stand
THE PLATFORM.
The platform urges federal election laws,
favors a protective tariff, denounces trusts and
communism and charges that they flourish
under democratic rule; condemns contract
labor, favors the Blair bill and follows with a
long arraignment Of the state administration
JAS. Hlll OF the minority of the committee,
offered minority report and tried to speak,
when perfect bedlam reigned. Twenty negroes
were trying to speak. Jno. r. Lynch finally
got the floor, but could not do anything with
the mob, and row came very near ensuing.
The minority opposed the nomination Of q
mittee issue an address giving the reason for
such action. Lynch antagonized Hills propo-
sition and said that the logic Of it was that the
republicans only excuse could be to say that
they were afraid. He didn't believe there
would be any more trouble or violence in the
state if the republicans nominated a ticket
than if they did not.
The convention by vote OF 1876 to SO decided
to nominate ticket, and young negro named
Craig nominated A I. Wimberly, internal
revenue collector. Simpson White nominated
Gen. Chalmers.
GEN. CHALMERS NoMINATED.
At this point Wimberly took the stand and
declined to allow his name to be used ''The
negroes can not fight the white people," he
said, "but there are white republicans enough
to do the fighting and if the white men viii do
their duty the man nominated here this night
viii be your governor"
Horton OF Washington nominated r. F. Beck
the mayor OF Nicksburg. The result OF the
ballot was finally announced: Chalmers, l3s;
Beck, 60. Chalmers nomination was made
unanimous, and be appeared and thanked the
convention and pledged himself to do all in his
power to win. j. w. Lee of Aberdeen took the
stand to nominate a candidate for lieutenant
governor, but forgot his name. He finally
ascertained that he was James ID. Lynch of West
Point. James Hill opposed this nomination on
the ground that Lynch was the author of book
In defense OF the Kemper county massacre and
defended the killing Of Miss Chisolm.

Wyoming's Constitutional Conventie

U.
CHEYENNE, WYOMING, Sept. 26.-The consti-
tutional convention has settled the question OF
taxation, which has aroused considerable de-
bate. It was finally concluded that the definite
amount OF royalty should be left entirely in the
and other material land acreage must be as
sessed for taxation and it is made obligatory
upon the Legislature to fix royalty on the coal
tonnage. A limitation of four mills on the dol
lar is placed upon taxation for state purposes
except in case Of school and public charities
and for the payment Of the state indebtednesr
and interest Counties are not permitted to
levy more than II mills except in payment of
debt incurred previous to the adoption Of the
constitutions. Cities and towns are limited TO
8 mills. Public moneys must be deposited in
national banks and the interest must go to the
state. A provision was adopted making eight
hours a legal days work. The convention will
finish its labors this week.
