BY CaDle TO The ChrOulcle.
ST. PETERSBURG, August 19.-News
has been received of the wrecking in the
terrible storm at Mini Novgorod of the
steamer Grigorieuw, and the loss of about
thirty of the passengers and crew.
The steamer was dashed about by the
hurricane and found to be leaking
badly. The report got among the pas
sengers and crew that the vessel was
sinking. A large number rushed in a
wild panic to the side of the steamer and
some jumped overheard, without any
thing to keep them above water, while
others seized chairs, tables and other ar
ticles that would float, as life preservers.
The officers rainly tried to stop the panic,
shouting that there was plenty of time
to lower the boat. Many waited for the
boats, but of those who leaped overload,
about thirty were drowned. The Others
were taken ashore in safety. The steam
er sank soon afterward.

that the convention by acclamation
name Senators Edward d. Walcott and
Henry M. Teller and Congressman
Townsend as three of the delegates. At
the mention of these names the dele
gates seemed to go Wild. They jumped
on benches, threw hats and canes in
the air and for several minutes cheered
until utterly exhausted. When quiet
was restored the nominations were Sec
onded by every delegate to the conven-
tion and the gentlemen were declared the
unanimous choice of the convention.
This means that in all probability
Mr.. Harrison will not receive the vote
OF the Colorado delegation at Mime
apolis. Hon. j. L. Brush, was nomi-
mated by as the fourth delegate. The
convention then took recess until .
when committee on resolutions re-
ported.

tions reported the important plank
being a resolution with reference 10 sill
yer.

should be Immediately taken for its full
restoration as a money metal.
"NOW therefore, The Republican party OF
Colorado in convention assembled hereby
demands the enactment by Congress OF
law providing for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver on an equal basis with
gold"
The resolutions also heartily endorse the
efforts of the western representatives In
Congress for their fearless fight on behalf
of silver; commend the matchless ability
and wise craftsmanship displayed by the
Hon. James G.. Blaine in directing the
diplomatic policy Of the Government, as
well as the doctrine of reciprocity as enun-
ciated and carried out by him, as deserving
of highest commendation by the people of
the whole country, and concludes as fol-
lows:
"Resolred, That this convention does
hereby instruct its delegates 10 the
National Convention at Minneapolis to
oppose by every honorable means the noml-
nation Of any man for the Office Of Presi-
dent or Vice President of the United
States who is not known to be heartily in
favor of the enactment of law providing
for the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver.n
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted. The mention OF Secretary
Baine's name brought forth prolonged
cheers. General McNeely, OF Custer
county, offered a resolution endorsing
the administration of President Harri-
son. Instantly there was dozen men
on their feet asking for recognition.
The greatest excitement continued for
several minutes and number OF
speeches were made against the resolu-
tion.
The resolution was killed by vote Of
623 to 2. The convention then adjourn
