Gratifying Success of the Labrador | Expedition-The MontagnaIs Indi-
 ans-Other Interesting Information.
 HALIFAX, Sept. 17.-Professor Lee, chief of the Bowdoin college exploration expedi- tion to Labrador, which arrived here yes terday on their way home, expresses him. self as being more than satisfied with the results of his expedition. He has satisfac- torily solved the question of the existence and grandeur of the Grand falls of Labra- dor, a subject which had heretofore been a legend to the scientific world, and race of Montagnais Indians have been found.
 This is the first discovery of that race teristics were noted and 8 record kept thereof. Measurements were taken and these will be shown on charts at the Worlds fair in Chicago. Professor Lee made a fine collection of utensils used and articles manufactured by the Indians. On the banks of the Grand river the party discovered the ruins of an Esquimaux viii lage. The floors of the house were paved with large flat stones of kind used by the Esquimaux and unknown to the oldest among them.
 Among the ruins were found bone knives, bone runners for sled, bone fish spears, skin dresses, carvings in ivory, etc. In the upper layers of the ruins were found fish spears made of iron and stone lamps in their primeval condition, show ing that the white trader had penetrated into that far off region. A great source of interest to the party were Esquimaux skel- etons found under piles of rock. Many of the relics buried with them, together with number of skeletons, were brought back by the party.
 The professor made an important collec- tion of shells and other specimens of natural history, which prove that the present shell fauna of Labrador is almost identical with that of Nova Scotia and Maine. The fish species collected is double the number of those previously known to the scientific world. The most remarkable species is that of the fish with lance-like teeth, heretofore only known to exist in Madeira and Tasmania. In birds he made an extensive and handsome collection Many new kinds of plants were also dis covered, which were not supposed to exist in that region. The mineral collection was small, but exceedingly valuable. The Julia Merritt sails on Friday for Rock DOrt Me

AN EARLY CONVENTION.

Il
 to He Named In May-California's
 Demands.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-Mr. M. H. De- Young, editor of the San Francisco Chron- icle and 8 member of the national repub- ican executive committee. arrived here last night from New York, in company with General Clarkson. In an interview MT. DeYoung said that the executive con- mittee will soon call a meeting of the na- tional committee to fix the time and place of holding the national convention. The convention will be held within six months after the meeting of the national commit tee, so as to avoid the heat of summer. The committed, he said, will convene here in November, and so the convention will take place during May, 1899. He added:
 ''1 have been often quoted as saying that California was for this or that man for president. No declaration of our prefer ence has been given out. At the light time we will speak, but first of all there must be distinct understanding on one matter. California insists on and means to have one member of the cabinet. When the present one was constructed we hoped for the recognition we were entitled to, but were ignored. There will be vacancy soon, but 1 cannot tell whether one of our citizens will be selected. In 1892 there will be an explicit understanding that the Pacific coast is not to be disregarded. Our country is a peculiar section with peculiar needs. No eastern man can understand our wants and hence we will insist on di- rect representation

STATE CORRESPONDENTS.
North Haven.

Sept 17.-In regard to the Van Doran and Jacobs trouble it is learned that the stories circulated about the Misses Jacobs have been investigated and found to be utterly devoid of truth. The person who made the investigation informs us that he proposes to put a stop to any further re- marks derogatory to the characters of the young ladies in question. And he is so convinced of their innocence and the utter inability of any person to prove the truth of the statements made against them that he is willing to pay $100 to anyone who will come forward prepared to furnish proof on oath that the statements made by Van Doran and others are true. This seems to us to be fair offer. The char acter of these two estimable young ladies would not have been attacked, it is stated, had they been sufficiently endowed with this worlds goods to be able to defend themselves, and it is commendable that a protector has come forward who has not only wealth enough for that purpose, but is determined to use it in their behalf if the necessity arises. The gentleman who makes the above statements can be com municated with by letter addressed to IS, :" care of this office, and he hopes that any person who has anything further to say about this matter will come forward for a hearing by making an appointment with him.
