MEETING OF THE CONVENTION.
Speeches by Fassett and Reed-The Ut.
most Good Nature Prevails.

MINNEAPOLIS, June THE day was
murky, and the muddy waters of the
Mississippi doomed sullenly along and
everybody was in sad humor. 1t was felt
that there was great need of unusual
power in the prayer in opening the con-
vention to assist in preventing scenes Of
unusual bitterness and strife. Long be-
fore the hour arrived for the opening of
the convention the spectators and dele
gates began to gather in the hall. Until
nearly noon, however, the leaders of the
factions were conspicuous by their
absence. The first excitement and ap-
plause was caused by the arrival Of
Governor Mckinley, followed shortly
after by Depew, who also met with a
flattering reception. Chairman Clarkson.
trim and sprIghtiy. was seated modestly
in one of the delegates chairs on the
platform, chatting, ANA apparently in ex.
cellent spirits. Following Depew came
Hiscock, Miller and Platt, who took
places with the other New Workers.
Following the New York delegation
came the men from Illinois. amidst a
c.atter of cheers. Prominent among them
was Abraham Lincoln's counterfeit pre-
sentiment, Senator Cullom, and whispers
OF dark horse" were heard. The white
and gold banner of California was brought
TO the right of the speakers chair. Their
division as to presidential preferences de-
prived their entrance OF the furor that
marked il in the former convention. In
gals entered at noon amid hearty cheers,
followed by John c. New, who was like
wise applauded.
1t was perhaps fitting that the patriotic
airs of Columbia" INV Country. 'Tis Of
Thee" and "Star-Spangled Banner should
form the prelude TO the national conven.
tion. Scarcely had the last echo of this
inspiring melody died away, at II :o5 p. M,
when Chairman Clarkson called the tenth
Republican national convention 10 order.
Prayer was offered by Rev. William Bush.

SMALLPOX AT SNOHOMIsH.
Reports That Six Cases Have Been
Found and schools Arc Closed.

A gentleman who came from SnohomIsh
yesterday and who is fully reliable stated
last evening that smallpox had broken
out in that city and that there were six
cases in the pest house, one of the patients
being a lineman tor the Pacific Postal
Telegraph Company. and all being persons
who have recently come to the town. He
further said that the schools OF the town
had been suspended and that the people
were considering the advisability of hold
ing no church service next Sunday. He
said his informants were physicians and
leading citizens of the town.
1t is fact that inquiries for vaccine
points and vaccination scabs have been re-
ceived in this city from Snohomish, but
none could be obtained.
A telegram was sent to Snohomish last
night asking whether the statement,o of the
Posr-IyTEILIGESCER's informant were cor
rect, but both telegraph offices were closed.

WONDERFUL BABY IN TACOMA.
Born With One Tooth, Others Coming
Its Mother Justly Proud.

TACOMA, June 7.-[Special. Elsie Ame-
liza Richert is the name of the I0-day-old
baby of Mr. and Mrs. Ludwig Richert,
which now has three teeth. When it was
born it weighed seven pounds and had
one tooth, with two more advancing
through the gum. Now it has three we'll
advanced lncisors in the front part of the
lower jaw, with the dog" teeth or
CANNES swell ing under the gum.
Mrs. Richert says the presence of teeth
at birth indicates great wisdom and
she is therefore happy. She and
her husband. who is a carpenter and
sort of handy tinker. live in a
small house in the Smith & Fife addition.
He is a Russian Polander of German ex-
traction. Last summer he married Ma
tilda Rossman, who came here from De-
troit Mich. to wed Ludwig. The babe
has Ludwig's blue eyes, and Mrs Richert
caresses il, and says there is no babe in the
world like Elsie Amelia. Both mother
and child are doing very nicely, and the
callers upon the young miss with teeth
are numbered by the score. The mother
takes great pride IN exhibiting her won-
derful child, and seemingly enjoys having
such al ado made about IL and Its teeth.

DarinS Desersion OF Four seamen.

PoRr TOWNSEND, June 7.-ISpecial.l j
Three seamen made rather daring escape
from the Norwegian bark Parthena while
that vessel was in port last week. They
had prearranged for boat to come along
side at midnight and take them ashore.
The officers OF the vessel ordered the boat
away. The men, quickly comprehending
the situation, leaped over the ships rail
into the sea. The first mate fired four
shots at the deserting sailors without ef-
feet. and they got f'ly into the little
boat and came ashore. When questioned
as 10 their motives they said they shipped
in England for San Diego. On their way
across they were put on short rations and
subjected to other hardships. At San
Diego they succeeded in getting ashore
with all of their belongings. They were
arrested and returned aboard and sent up
to Sound without any clothing or beds,

of in the municipal court, Walter s.
Briggs, the original and triple-plated
crusader, was undergoing what in street
parlauce is known as turning down.
at the hands of the council committee
on licenses. Briggs sent i'll commune
cation objecting strenuously to Charles
o. Lampe being granted license for
213 First avenue south. Mr.. Briggs
stated in his communication that last
year, and up to the previous time.
Lampe was conducting saloon at 223
First avenue south instead of 213, as
his license read. The rear of the place
at 223 was so constructed that it accom-
modated the habitues and frequenterS
of the Theater Comique and its ramif
cations. MI. Briggs therefore objected
to his being granted another license.
The committee. however. paid no atten-
ton to this protest, and granted the
license for 213, inasmuch as the appli-
cation and bond designated that num-
Der. The committee decided that if
Lampe conducted a saloon at 223 First
avenue south instead of 213. it was the
business of the police to look after it.
