LOST IN THE DARK.

The Thracian, with Twenty-Five Men ON
Board, Said to Have Gone Down..
LONDON, Aug. 16.-It is feard that
the ship Thracian, with twenty-five men,
has been lost with all on board between
Greenock and Liverpool. The Thracian
was built for William Thompson, of
Nova Scotia. She started out from
Greenock towed by the tug boat Sarah
Jollitfe, bound for Liverpool, where she
was to be rugged out. The crew of the
ship consisted of about twenty-five
Triggers. When the tug boat and Thra-
clan were about three miles from the
Isle OF Man, during the night, a squall
came up and the ship capsized. The
people on the Sarah Jolliffe heard a cry
from the Thracian and then a whirling
and surging Of the waves as if the ship
had gone down. The Sarah Jolliffe
turned and made for the spot where the
ship had been but there was no sign
either of the vessel or of any human
being. The tug boat remained near the
scene until daylight showed that there
was no possible chance of anyone having
survived. The Thracian was an en-
tirely new ship and after having been
fitted up in Liverpool would have sailed
to Nova Scotia. The Triggers on board
the Thracian belonged in Greenock and
vicinity.

WISCONSIN REPUBLICANS.
Spooner Prominently Mon
toned for Governor.

IEx-Senator SpoOner Prominently Men
toned for Governor.
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 16.-Republicans
are beginning to gather in the city at
tracted by the approach Of the state
convention, which will be held Wednes-
day. Ex-senator Spooner has opened
headquarters at the Plankinton and is
hard at work fixing things for the work
before him. Candidates for the nomi-
nation for governor are as numerous as
blackberries. Spooner is most promi-
nently mentioned, but he says he don't
want the honor. Many Republicans
want Uncle Jerry Rusk to run for Office
again, as they say he is the only man in
the state strong enough to pull the ticket
through. But Uncle Jerry is satisfied
with he position he now has. There is
a feeling that the candidate should be
chosen from Milwaukee and as q
consequence there are a number of
men in the city who are working
for the chance. Among these are Judge
Wallber, General Winkler, Isaac Van
schacht and j. V. Quarles. The nomi-
nations for the other offices of the ticket
are all dependent upon the choice of a
leader, for the state must be balanced in
some way and until the first place is
settled the others cannot be considered.
Secretary Rusk, Mr.. Spooner and
Henry G. Payne were in consultation a
good share Of the evening, and although
it was not possible to get at the purpose
OF the conference, there is little doubt
that it referred to Mr.. Spooner's accept.
ance of the nomination. While Mr..
Spooner is said to be averse totaking the
nomination, he will nevertheless accept
1T If in the wisdom of the convention he
shall be decided upon as the best man
for the place.

Valuable Records in the Possession of
the Western Reserve Historical Society.
Especial Correspondence
CLEVELAND, Aug. 9.-The Western Re-
serve Historical society, which with pos
sibly two exceptions is the Oldest organi-
cation of its kind west of the Alleghanies,
has recently purchased a building worthy
of its work and of the valuable library and
museum it has collected. The society was
organized in May, 1867, and has been one
of the most active agents in preserving
original documents of great historical
value and in stimulating historical and
scientific study in all the west.
For some years it has occupied the third
story of the fine f1reproof stone building of
the Society for Savings. another notable
Cleveland institution, but it's quarters
have long been crowded and many of it's
valuable collections packed away for lack
of room to show them. The construction
Of a new building by the Society for Saw,
ings opened a way for the Historical soci-
ETY. to secure the much needed building of
its own, and it now owns the fine three
story block here shown.

secretivsness. He is not jolly, impressing
a company with a gorgeous good nature,
as was Jewell, another of his predecessors,
yet he suggests kindness and sympathy,
and above all the determination of abso-
lutte good faith in all his relations with
men. -
1t is believed by those who lave seen and
chatted with him at the headquarters that
when the campaign begins Mr.. Carter will
as absolutely dominate it as any chairman
of either party eve did. Moreover it is
che impression that he will, like Grant,
call no council of war, but will fight the
battle on his W plans, betraying no more
of them to any one than is necessary for
the carrying of them out. Such is the
present opinion at least of the local poll
ticians in New York.
Mr.. Carter has an advisory COMMITTEES
who will be with him much of the time,
but the other members of the national
committee are not expected to be often at
headquarters. Chief among these lieuten-
ants is Mr.. Clarkson. With him Mr.. Car
ter has been spending much of the time at
headquarters, and also at Mr.. Clarkson's
summer place at Long Branch. Clarkson's
knowledge of the details of national COM
mittee work is perhaps greater than that
of my person who ever served upon the
committee. 1t is greater than Mr.. Quay's.
although Quay has been esteemed a greater
political strategist than Clarkson. This
knowledge Mr.. Carter is absorbing. The
detail, the minutim, he had all to learn
after he became chairman.
Another member of this inner council of
advisors is Cornelius N. Bliss, who is the
treasurer of the national committee. Mr.,
Bliss is one of the most conspicuous of the
local Republicans. He is of the Union
League set. His acquaintance with the
great merchants of New York is very great,
for he is one OF them. Upon him rests the
obligation of raising the money necessary
to carry on the campaign, and the impor-
tant and rather complicated financial
affairs of the committee will be absolutely
in his control. He will work harder than
any bank president and he will get nothing
but thanks. Sometimes treasurers do not
always receive such acknowledgement, but
only duns from creditors of the commit
tee. That vas the case with one of the
t"reasurers a few years Ago..
Secretary McComas is another member
of the executive council, and Mr.. Fessen-
den, of Connecticut, another. Fessenden
has been fishing in Maine, SO that he might
get vigor for the campaign. He is a keen
politician, whose heart was almost broken
when Blaine was defeated in 1884.
These four men will probably be in daily
consultation. Other members of the ad-
visory committee, like Mr.. Manley, of
Maine, or Mr.. Sutherland, of New York,
will be in occasional attendance, but the
burden of the canvass is likely to be borne
by those just mentioned. Yet it is plain
that the master is to be the chairman, Mr.
Carter, n his method is to pillow rather
than to fire skyrockets.

mittee. He was so little known before the
Minneapolis convention that few of the
local New York leaders had ever seen him,
and some of them said that they had never
even heard of him. He has his spurs to
win, but the local politicians who have met
him in the new headquarters are convinced
that he will win them.
He is making haste slowly. He took
charge of his rooms utterly without dem
onstration or the mannerism of vanity. He
has since then spent much of his time in
making acquaintance. Many Of the local
leaders have called on him, and they all
say that he Isl splendid listener, an earnest

Resignation of the Tory Minis
try Formally Announced
by Salisbury.

LONDON, Aug. 16.-Mr. Gladstone,
accompanied by Sir Algernon Edward
West, left Carlton Gardens during the
morning for Osborne House, his object
being to lay before her majesty the
names Of those who comprise his cabinet
and to carry out the old custom of kiss
ing the hand Of the queen. His entire
trip was like a triumphal pro-
gress. The stations en- route were
crowded and ovations were rendered the
Liberal leader everywhere. Among the
crowds were hundreds of workmen, with
their wives and children. Mr.. Glad
stone was greatly cheered and shouts of
cong%ratulatlon We're general. At Peters
field there were droves of children ar
rayed in white who threw flowers in Mr..
Gladstone's salon. At Portsmouth the
Liberal club met their leader in q body
and hundreds of workmen at the govern
ment docks left their tasks and joined
the cheering throng. A similar scene
was witnessed at Cowes, where the royal
carriage awaited Mr.. Gladstone's arrival.
Mr.. Gladstone sent kilograms to his
wife from every station along the route
informing her of his health andprogress.
After dining with the queen Mr.. Glad
stone slept at Osborne, as usual on such
occasions.
Salisbury Formally Resigns.
In the house Of lords Lord Salisbury
formally announced that in consequence
of the vote in the house of on
Mr.. Asquith's NJ confidence amendment
to the address in reply to the queens
speech, the government had rendered its
resignation to the queen and that her
majesty had accepted it. After making
this announcement, Lord Salisbury asked
the intentions of, the incoming ministry.
The Earlof Kimberly replied that he was
sorry he was unable to give Lord Sails
bury any information. The earl added
that he was not a minister. He could
say nothing until he had consulted his
colleagues. The house adjourned until
Thursday.

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS.

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS.
The care of these headquarters and the
comfort of the committee are in the hands
of Colonel H. L.. Swords, who has been APP
pointed sergeant-at-arms. Colonel Swords,
in the campaign of 1883, revealed unusual
capacity for this rather difficult work,
which requires both firmness and tact.
He must be at the headquarters all the
time, and it is probable that he will only
leave the building for his meals or when
engaged in duty for the committee. Col
onel Swords wide acquaintance with Re-
publicans is not the least of his qualifca-
tions for this duty, and, his good nature,
which became proverbial during the last
campaign, brought him the favor of all
who called upon the committee.
His duties in some respects are much the
same rs those of the sergeant-at-arms of
the house of representatives, and he will
have charge Of the paymentRf the en-
ployees. E. J. EDWARDS.
