COLUMBUS, o., June II. = To-day's
proceedings in the republican state con-
vention were opened with prayer, after
which the report Of the committee on
credentials was presented and adopted.

zation reported the name Of Gen. Asa

nent chairman Of the convention and =.
J. Kessinger, OF Athens, for permanent
secretary.
Chairman Bushnell's address was
brief He merely thanked the conven-
ton for the honor and then declared
the nominations in order.
Ex-Gov. Foraker arose to present the
name of william Mckinley for govern
or. Al the sight Of the familiar figure
OF the ex-governor and sturdy cam
paigner the convention fairly went mad
with enthusiasm. He spoke OF Maj. Nc
Kinley In enthusiastic terms and eulo-
gized score Of living republicans, In
cluding Harrison and Blaine, and then
evoked roar OF laughter by asking II
he had forgotten anybody and adding
that he wanted to remember everybody
and everything. The ex-governor indi-
rectly paid his respects to the disaffected
elements in his own party that aided In
bringing about his defeat In 1889. No
Kinley, he said, would be elected. He
need not fear the political assassins who
in previous years had aided in republic
an defeat He did not know what po-
litical razor was. AS he resumed his
seat the convention again cheered him

Col Robert Harlan, the colored ora
tor Of Cincinnati, seconded McKinley's
nomination ION behalf Of the colored
voters OF Ohio"
With one wild, hilarious cheer Of af.
frmation the convention declared Maj
Mckinley nominated for governor by
reclamation, and n committee was ap,

EZETA CHECKMATED.
An American Captain Gets Ahead of the
President of Salvador.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. IA Panama
. steamer brings story which shows the true
inwardness Of the attempt by President Ez-
- eta Of Salvador to seize five Saivadorian ref
ugees in the Pacific Mail steamer City of
Panama, in La Union, and to confscate the
vessel when his scheme failed.
The cable brought an outline of the story,
but it gave no reasons for the attempted
seizure, which was precisely similar case
to the Barrundia affair, except that in this
case Salvador was the aggressor and tried to
. capture eXlles whom President Ezeta hated
The leader among the five refugees on board
the Panama was Gen. Letona. He, with
others, bought tickets at Corinto, Nicar-
augua, tor San Jose Gle Guatemala. Gen.
Letona has spent five years in exile in Mic
araugua. Ezeta's enmity against him
is due to the fact that when commander-in-
chief of the Salvadorian army. Letona Or
dered 100 lashes laid on the back of Ezeta
then private in the army. Hernandez
Avala and the other Salvadorian refugees
have all incurred the wrath of Ezeta. Avala
being the president legally elected, whom
Ezeta forced out by intrigues, and Rivas
being nephew OF the general who last
year headed the unsuccessful revolt against
Ezeta. Brannan, the fifth refugee, is an
American contractor, who became mixed
up in Salvadorian politics.
When the vessel reached La Union the
commandant of the port came out with
thirteen heavily armed soldiers in launch
Capt, White only, permitted the COM
mandant to board the vessel. Then the
officer made formal demand for the sur
render of Letona. This the captain re-
fused. Then the threat was made
that the steamer would not be
given clearance papers until Letona was
surrendered. Capt: White waited four
hours for papers and then left. At La Lib
ertad the commandant came aboard and
declared he had Ezeta's order to take charge
Of the ship. This reused the captains an
ger and he ordered the commandant ashore
at the same time arrling all his men and
getting out the hot-water hose, ready to re-
pei an attack: Capt. White at once sailed
He heard Ezeta was on the way with a
large body OF troops to seize the steamer, so
he did not touch at Acajutla, where stop
is usually made, but kept five miles out.
With glasses it could be seen that large
body OF men were at the wharf, and when
the steamer passed by they boarded train
and left Tor the interior. They We're proba-

MENICO NEXT.
The Land of the Aztecs on the Verge of
a Bloody Revolution.

Ihe Land OF the Aztecs on the Verge OF
a Bloody Revolution.
San FRANCISCO, Sept 1.-Private advices
from the City Of Mexico state that the out
come Of the war in Chilli is anxiously
awaited in Mexico, and in case the insur-
gents win, the result will hasten the revo-
luton now sruoldering in the land of the
Aztecs.
The letter, which comes from an old and
prominent citizen of Mexico, says that in
truth Diaz is the Bal1naceda of Mexico, and
that he is guilty of nearly the same offenses
against human liberty as Balmaceda. Like
the president of Chilli, President, Diaz has
had career of tyranny. He has suppressed
all public meetings and all newspapers an
tagonistic to him and his policy. He has
collected taxes and disbursed public money
without authority. He has throttled free
put to death half score of Mexican jour-
nalists 1t will not be many days before a
serious blow will be struck by the people
against the dictatorial reign OF Diaz
In turthering his personal interests, Diaz
is charged with combining with foreign
capitalists and accepting bribes from for
eign corporations in return for valuable
concessions While he became a man of
great wealth, the people of his republic
have grown poorer and poorer. AS the
leader of the Liberal party, and against the
Clericals, Diaz has gradually become more
and more unpopular with the masses, who
are Catholic ard members of the Clerical
party. The fact that the natives are with
the Clericals makes the antagonism to Diaz
overwhelming. Ever since the marriage OF
Diaz to an American Protestant the wrath
OF the masses has been nursed, bnt it has
grown until now it can be kept within
bounds no longer.
During the past few days important mill
itary changes have taken place, and Diaz,
who reads the handwriting Oh the WALL is
preparing to put down any insurrection
that may take place. The Clericals. how
ever pay no attention to the movements of
the military, for they outnumber the
soldiers of DlaZ ten to one. Diaz has been
polite in appointing his personal friends
as governors Of different states, and in each
state the Diaz governor has been given alb
solute control of the militia in his PROV
inces.
Diaz and hisfollowers. who are in hope
less minority, are in reality, trembling in
the balance, and the situation has grown
so critical during the last few weeks
that strict guard is kept, and at the first
signs of an outbreak Diaz proposes to
slaughter the revolutionists in a way which
he hopes will awe and torrorize the great
mass Of natives who are against him.
There seems to he no outcome TO the pres
sent critical condition of affairs but a
fierce and bloody revolution.

MURDERED "a CHILD.
That is the Charge Brought Against a
Mysterious Couple in Brown
County.
Starvation ALLEGED to Be the Method
by Which the Child Was Put
Out Of the Way.

New ULM, Minn., Special Telegram, Sept.
There was brought to this city to-day
an old man and young woman. delegated
to remain in Jail here until January under
charge Of murder. They come from
Golden Gate, in this county, and if the
charge against them is trueit reveals story
of cruelty and heartlessness that has never
been equaled in these parts before.
The old man claims to be a doctor, a
graduate of college in the old country.
He possesses more than the average amount
OF shrewdness.
The companion of his crime is one who
claims to be his niece or cousin, but there
are many who think she is his daughter.
She is less than thirty years old, and has
been living with him since he settled in
Golden Gate. In April she became the
mother of twins. Steps were taken then to
indict the pair for living together unlaw-
fully, but were futile.
This caused them to endeavor to get rid
of the children, and, as none of the neigh
bors would take them, it seems they made
up their minds to get rid of the children by
an inhuman system ofstarvation. Note was
taken of this by neighbor, but in spite oi
the efforts of kind friends the
children were not allowed to obtain food,
and one Of them died. A corone-'s inquest
followed and then the arrests. The charge
was for murder, and sufficient evidence
was found to bind them over to the district
court. .-...1-
The young woman sticks to the story
given by the old man, but so plain was ii
that the child was starved that 10 trouble
was met with in confning them for sew.
eral months under the worst charge known
to the law. ,,..... ......,. r.
When brought to this city to-day the
young woman was greatly afraid. and it is
thought that she would confess all when
she is kept apart from the doctor, whose
name is August Brodda. She is accom-
panied by the remaining child, who is also
almost starved to DEATH . ..n. .. 3D.,
The old doctor takes it all without con.
Germ. He depends much on his own
shrewdness and laughs at the lawyers who
are conducting the prosecution.
The testimany is so sensational and at the
same time reveals such unusual cruelty thai
1t has worked up any amount of feeling
among the people of the vicinity of Golden
Gate. Had not the county attorney taken
action it is more than probable that the
doctor would have been the central figure
in lynching bee. .-... ,

AFRAID OF RUSSIA.
Turkey Compelled to Grant Her Worst
Enemy a Great Privilege.

Turkey Compelled to Grant Her Worst
Enemy Great Privilege.
LONDON, Sept, IA telegram from Con-
stantinople says that the sultan has yielded
to all of Russia's demands respecting the
Dardanelles, which henceforth will be
opened to Russian vessels when closed to
others. The sultan has abjectly apologized
for the recent detention of Russian vessel
and has punished the officers responsible
therefor, and has promised an indemnity
forthwith.
+ A number Of years ago treaty was con-
cluded between the five great powers and
Turkey and provides that no ship Of war
belonging to any nation save Turkey shall
pass the Dardaneiles without the express
consent of Turkey, but Russia claimed the
vessel, while having arms on board, was a
volunteer fleet bound tor the eastern ter
minus OF the Trans-S berian railroad.
The st. James Gazette this evening holds
that the submission o, the porte to Russia 8
demands establishes precedent which per-
mits Russian war ships to use the passage
OF the Dardanelles as they please while the
war ships of other nations must not enter
those straits. This news, therefore, accord.
ing to the same paper, is by far the gravest
published for some time. ...>
GERMANS INDIGNANT. ,'.f%. s
BERLIN, Sept. 1.-The press here is in
credulous regarding the report of the sui
specting the recent detention of the Rus
sian volunteer fleet steamers at the Oar
danelles. The Vossisches Zeitung says that
such action on the sultan's part would
justify the removal Of Turkey from among
the independent states of Europe.

UNFORTUNATE INDIANS.
They Have No Outfits With Which to Do
Their Logging


Their Logging.
WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, Sept. 1.
An inspector Tor the Indian office has re-
ported to the department here that large
amount OF timber has been burned d over on
the Lac du Flam beau reservation, which is
under the La Pointe agency in Wisconsin.
1t is estimated that between 10000, 600 and
50,O0O,00O feet have been killed by the for
est fires, and unless it is soon disposed OF it
will be entirely destroyed,
The Indian bureau has no funds on hand
with which to equip the Indians for the
logging and thus put the timber on the
market. The law says that the dead and
down timber on the reservations must be
disposed of by the Indians, they to carry
on the logging operations and the timber
sold for their benefit. Acting Commls-
sloner Belt has written to Agent Leahy
asking that officer to see if arrangements
cannot be made with Farmer Sullivan at
the agency, who is practical lumberman,
by which the Indians may be furnished an
outfit by the dealers in lumber so that thew
may this winter engage in logging the great
amount of dead and down timber on their
lands. .s,# 49, -
: 1t is hoped that at least the Indians NAV
obtain an outfit on credit and make pay
ment when the logs are delivered. If the
logs are not removed this winter they will
be practically useless for they will decay
rapidly in the condition they are now in.

BALMACEDA'S SUCCESSOR.
Chillan Insurgents Look Favorably Upo
Don Ausustin Edwards

Chillan Insurgents Look Favorably Upon
Don Ausustin Edwards
LONDON, Sept. LIT is reported here on
the strength ofstatements made by the con-
gressional agents in Paris and London that
Don Augustin Edwards will be the next
president of Chilli.
He is one Of the wealthiest, if not the
wealthiest, of Chilians, and in the early
period of the instruction he supplied funds
lavishiy for the support of the revolution
airy cause. He has many friends in the
higher classes in England and on the con-
tinent, and is largely interested in the
nitrate trade. He has splendid farm in
Chilli, which, up to the time of the war,
was stocked with the best blooded cattle
that money could obtain in Europe. These
cattle. during the war, were slaughtered for
food for Balmaceda's troops, and the
property of Edwards both in city and coune @
try was laid waste. He narrowly escaped
with his own life. The congressional1sts
have always looked to him as their leading
representative, although he has not taken
an active personal part in naval or military
affairs.
The active head of the revolution has
been George Montt, who with Silva and
Barros Luco formed the governing iunta.
1t is said that Mont is in favor of Edwards
for president. Hh &rlg &h &sIe
the congressionalsts have, within the
few days, brought strong pressure to bear
on the British foreign office to secure Brit
leda o. the silver shipped from Valparaiso
in a British war vessel. There is very little
Likelihood that the treasure will be turned
over TO Balmaceda .... .'

MANY NEW CLAIMANTS.

Mrs. Hopklns-saarles' Poor Relations
3 WIN Attempt to Break Her Will.
New York, Sept. 1.-According to the
World Edward F. Searles will not be al
lowed to enjoy Mark Hopkins millions
without struggle. ..
Twenty-one new claimants Mrs. Hop
tlce of contest was sent last week to Great
Darlington, Mass. Several Of the claimants
have joined hands with Timothy Hopkins,
and this probably induced him to decline
recently an offer of S., 600, 600 not to oppose
the probate of the will. On the contrary,
the adopted son Of Mrs. Searles will. file on
Sept. II. his claims, which will be the
opening wedge for one OF the most sensa-
tonal will contests on record.
During the past week Lawyer Russell
Wilson of San Francisco, representing
Timothy Hopkins. has been in the city
consulting with Butler, ,Stillman g. Hub
bard, counsel for Mr.. Searles. Lawyer
Frank Rogers also notified Mr.. Searles'
lawyers last Thursday of his intention to
contest Mrs. Searles' will on the ground of
insanity and undue influence on the part of
her husband. He represented the Hebbard
family, second cousins of Mrs. Searles. He
also said he intended joining hands with
Lawyer Russell Wilson. 1t appears that
Mrs. Searles had many poor relatives,
whom she occasionally assisted. Some re-
ceived regular yearly income.'
"You are just as dear to me-" she is reported
to have said one day to William Hebbard, "as
the richest of my acquainrances. You will all
be remembered handsomely in my will. You
are not so numerous that I cannot we'll afford
to make you large bequest."
Mrs. Searles frequently visited her rela-
tives in New York and Connecticut be.ore
her second marriage. Two infirm cousins,
Harriet Hebbard and Mrs. Jane Smith used
to get an annuity OF $500. They were
equally shocked with all the other blood
relations, who had been assured Of some
thing substantial when they heard Mrs
Searles had overlooked them in her will
The annuity of $500 to Jane Smith and
Harriet Hebbard was stopped and nothing
was left the other blood relatives.
The contestants have united in two par
ties. One wing consists OF the Hebbards
and the other of the Sherwoods, all being
either first or second cousins. The Heb
bards have secured Lawyer Rogers of
bridgeport, and will cooperate with Timo-
thy Hopkins but the Sherwoods believe in
the merits of their own case.

Opening Session of the International
Grain Market in Vienna.
VIENNA Sept. 1. The international
grain market for 1891 was opened here to-
day with large attendance. Herr Haardt,
from the department OF the chief of the
ministry of commerce, in speech made
during the opening ceremonies, dwelt upon
the special importance of the present mar
ket from the fact that its task or object was
to devise means OF supplying the shortage
OF grain existing in the large countries.
The dealings to-day were limited, so there
was no spot business done in wheat. Flu
lures were firm. The best barleys sold on
the spot at full rates; in,erior grades were
neglected. Autumn wheat was quoted at
1867 forins to 1910 forins; spring wheat
was quoted at 1927 forins. Autumn rye
was quoted at 10.3S forins; spring at 1O.5S
forins. Autumn oats were quoted at 6.27
horins. New maize was quoted at 62S
forins. Thirty trucks of old maize brought
6.35 forins.

THE WORK OF A FIEND,
An Old Connecticut Couple Murdered in
a Horrible M~nner.


Horrible M~nner.
HARTFORD, Conn.,, Sept. IA murder
more fiendish than any in the annals of
crime i'll this county was committed in
Bloomfield early yesterday morning At
that time Henry Frederick Bushenhagen,
aged sixtynine years. and his wife Emily,
aged seventy-one, were killed by tramp,
to whom they had given shelter. Not con-
tent with simply killing them, he had
frightfully mutilated their bodies and then
thrown the bleeding corpses into an old
well. When the fearful crime was made
known the excitement in Bloomfield was
intense. Men worked into a passion OF
wrath, hunted through the adjacent woods
intent on apprehending the assassin, but
without avail.
Mr.. Bushenhagen's body had four large
wounds in the head, probably made with a
coupling pin, which was found in the yard.
On Mrs. Bushenhagen's body were five
wounds, every one Of which crushed the
skull. These are believed to have been
made with an ak.
Robbery was not the motive Tor the mur-
der. No article was missing from the house
and it was evident that the murderer's first
thought alter placing the bodies in the we'll
was to get away from the scene.
