FEARFUL LOSS OF LIFE.
A TURKISH MAN-oF-wAR LOST
WITH 500 MEN,

Osman Pssha, Who Defeated the Rus
SLAMS at PIsvna, Among Those who
Perished-The Incidents OF the Yes
sells Voyage Equal TO Those OF an
Opera Bouffe.
LONDON, Sept. 19-Advices from Hiogo
state that the Turkish man-of-war Ertzo-
groul has foundered at sea and that 500 of
her crew were drowned.
The Ertzogroul was a wooden frigate
built cruiser Of S.S44 tons displacement.
She mounted forty-one guns of small calibe-,
and was built in 1858.
Osman Pasha and Ali Pasha, ENJOYS of
the sultan 30 the Emperor of Japan, were
passengers on the Ertogroul and were
drowned.
FAMOUS AS A FIGHTER.
Osman Pasha's victory over the Russians
at Plevna gave him high rank as a fighting
general. He had been on an official visit TO
japan, having been intrusted with special
mission from the sultan to the mikado.
The progress Of the Ertzogroul since she
left Constantinople for the east, many
months ago. had been most undigm6ed and
ludicrous Once she left Turkey,
short Of money, it being understood that
supplies were TO be sent for her use TO the
ports at which she was to call. The result
was that her so1ourn in those countries was
indefinitely prolonged, In consequence of the
officials at home not being able to keep their
promises.
HER OFFICERS HALF STARVED.
In this way she lost many Of her crew.
and her officers we're, many times. on the
verge Of rebellion, induced by starvation.
The governors Of the cities visited refused
to remit the harbor dues and grant other
privileges that were due her as Turkish
nnan-of-war, on the ground that
she was not sailing in that
character. not having powder enough on
board to enable her crew 70 fire the regula-
tion salutes. After many adventures only
worthy of an opera bouffe navy, the Ert-
zogroul finally arrived in Japanese waters,
and 1t was on her return voyage that the
disaster occurred.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. 19.-The republi-
can state convention to-day elected In
ternal Revenue Collector Webster as chair
man Of the state executive committee. The
platform adopted indorses the administra-
tion and Speaker Reeds course; calls for
the passage OF the Blair educational bill
aud of the Lodge force bill, and declares
South Cardinals educational system wholly
inadequate.

the following:
Resolved, In order to secure q lust, liberal
and impartial ADMINISTRATION for all the people
or the state, regardless OF party or color, the
members of this convention hereby determine
70 support at the polls as their choice for gov
ernor Judge A Haskell Of this city and that
the state executive committee be instructed 20
carry out the wishes of the convention in this
respect.
Deas' speech in support of his resolution
was the sensation of the convention. He
took the ground that the convention had a
splendid opportunity to do something to
show to the people of the state that the re-
pubiicans OF South Carolina had some re-
gard for deoency and good government. and
some detestatiou for Tillmanism.
DEAs' VIVID IMAGINATION.
All over the state it was being asked II
the republicans would not have the man
hood and courage to put up ticket, either
republican or democratic, for which the
decent element OF the state could vote. He,
for one, wanted decency OF wanted nothing.
All of the trouble came from the rule Of
illiterate whites, and he did not want that
to go on any longer. After much speech
making the convention decided not
TO adopt the resolution. Judge
Haskell is Loading Tlllmanite
and one OF the foremost negroes of South
Carolina, with a fine military aud civil
record. No nominations for state officers

committee on the tariff bill this morning
did not touch upon matters of public inter
est. The proceedings were confined to action
upon pro forma amendments, or those In
volving no pronounced differences Of opin-
ion. The sugar, binding twine and tariff
commission clauses were not touched. It is
the understanding of the democratic con-
ferees that the daily sessions of the confer

points of real Importance at issue are TO be
brought forward only after the republican
managers have first adjusted their differ

THE STUMBLING BLOCK.
It is said that the metal schedule is really
the principal obstacle to an agreement by
the republican conferees, the Senate con-
fereas insisting on is amendments lowering
duties, and the House conterees insisting on
the restoration Of the duties in the bill as it
passed the House-ipasmuch as on most
other matters of Importance they have
yielded TO the demand of the Senate. It is
said that the sugar schedule has been agreed
TO by the republicans, but formal action is
withheld until other matters of difference
are compromised. The general belief Is now
that the confer rees win hold their fual ses-
