KETcHUM Ida, Aug. Especial tele-
gram to THE HERALD. The Republican
convention for Alturas county for the pur-
pose OF nominating delegates to the state
convention to be held at Moscow Aug. IS,
met here today. I. w. Garrett of HALEY
was elected permanent chairman and
George (. Mills of Ketchum, who has been
heretofore classed as belonging to the PEG
ple's, or 'cure alp party. was elected sec
Rotary. The convention in its platform,
after endorsing the Minneapolis platform,
praising Harrison's administration TO the
skies. and making some very silly and I'M
truthful assertions rs usual about the Dem
,craic party, gets on TO the silver question
lhusly: Demands free and unlimited
coinage OF silver; endorses Harrison's
efforts to bring about their desire for
silver and his statesmanlike endeavors that
end BY iDdusing the great governments Of
the earth to join in a monetary conference
believing their desires Will soon be accom-
plished, aud the royal white metal main
tanned and protected.
Eight delegates were elected to attend
the state convention. The delegates, al
though not instructed, are said to be in
favor Of the nomination of ex-senator Nc
Cornell for governor. The senator was
here. but only as q spectator, to see how
the machine worked. 1t was a cold dav for
the little knot Of Republicans assem- bled In

GOLD SHIPMENTS.
Sixty Millions Shipped from san HaociscO
to Warrington.

Sixty Millions shipped from san FlauciscO
to Wa hingtoH.
SAX FRANcTsco, Aug. Sixty million
dollars in gold has been shipped by rail to
Washington from the local sub-treasury.
1t made i've carloads. The object Of the
removal is the undesrability of keeping
such a large sum in seaport town. The
shipment IS guarded by postal clerks armed
with Winchester rifles.
The gold coin from the United States
sub-treasury of this city. which left for the
east last night on q special train or five
cars. is probably the largest amount Of
money ever sent across the continent.
Early this morning the train had crossed
the SierrHs and was moving down grade
beyond Truckea. Not long ago there was
about SO GOO, 900 in the vault of the SUBJ
treasury and mint in this city, and pre-
cisely how much OF this is now going
overland is not known. The supposi-
ticn is that the amount is at least $50, O00, 000
Fifty one men. nearly all from the railway
mail service, are on the train as 9 guard.
Captain White Of Washington is in charge,
and the men are well armed.
The gold Is principally stored in two
Union Pacific cars constructed Of wrought
steel and supposed TO be bullet and bomb
proof. There is considerable speculation
as 10 the governments motive in making
80 large shipment Of gold, and ono ex-
heavy realizRtions on American securities
held abroad, the foreign holders have
recently taken much Of the gold circulating
in the east aud more is required to guard
against a disturbance of the necessary
financial equilibrium.

PRIVATE JAMS PUNISHMENT.
a Letter from His Captain Concerning the
suspen ion by the thumbs


suspen ion by the thumbs
NASSAU, n. H, Aug. 5.-The Erening
Telegraph prints letter from Captain A.
Fred Hunt commanding battery E at
Homestead IN reply to a recent editorial
in that paper charging that the punish
ment Of Private Iams was uniustifably
brutal. etc. Captain Hunt says:
"Private Iams was not tortured in his
punishment by Colonel Streator. as the
suspension by the thumbs did not throw
the whole weight Of the body on those
members. After tive minutes Of suspen-
sion he asked for a chew of
tobacco in the same arrogant and
insolent manner which was charac-
terlstic Of his entire conduct in camp
and also all through mis- service on guard.
He presently swallowed the tobacco, max
ing himself sick. According to his own
self-confessed statement afterward, he was
let down from the ri0ge-pole after twenty
minutes suspension, suffering from nausea
occasioned by having swallowed the to-
bacco During the entire evening and
night after this punishment the man
treated the matter loosely, and made no
complaint of suffering"
Captain Hunt further says that the state
menJ that Iams' exclamation was thought
less one is wrong, for when earnestly re-
uuested TO withdraw the exclamation he
doggedly and persistently refused to do it.
