guests stood before him in the family sit
ting room, while the legal formal
ity of reading the charge was
gone through with and the question,
"What say you, guilty or not guilty ?"
asked, and the reply was again character
istic: "pve said did it, haven't L."
And Potter was hurried down the hill
to the jail to await the action OF a grand
jury.
Today he will say nothing to reporters
or bis own friends, and the Jail keeper,
Mrs. Lima Smith, says that he was one of
the most stolid prisoners that she ever
turned lock on. His companions In Jail
are thief and q young tramp arrested for
evading fare. This forenoon the trio were
killing time by playing game OF "cut-

IN SESSION NOW.
Big Gathering Of Republi-
cans in State Convention.
New Hampshire is to See a Winning
Ticket Nominated at Concord Today.

CONCORD, N. H., Sept. b.-More than
700 of the 749 accredited delegates to the
Repu bIican State Convention were on
hand early this morning and the conven-
tion itself proved to be the most largely
attended of any similar gathering ever
held in the State,
The rival booms and boomers were also
early in evidence. The contest for the
nomination has been the hottest since the
memorable fight OF 1882, and the ante
convention seems more full OF vivacity
and enthusiasm.
The Platform.
The platform after recting the prevail
ng business depression and the disgrace
iul attempt to destroy the youthful
Hawaiian republic, expressing its disap-
proyal Of the administrations financial
policy, protests against its treatment
OF the union veterans, touches
briefly but effectively upon the
civil service, election, and revenue poll
cies and then proceeds TO a scathing de-
nupciation of the Democratic tariff legis-
lation which has paralyzed business,
annihilated values, destroyed the pur-
chasing power OF the people, driven cap
ital into disuse, robbed mi lion and a
half of workers of employment,
and reduced the earnings OF many
millions more; which has swept away
from capitalists the sccumulations of
years and pauperized the poor, turned
back the wheels of progress, put priya-
tion and want in place OF plenty, spread
distress and desperation among all classes,
developed Coxeysm and let loose the hor-
rors of anarchy"
IL then reaffirms the principles of the
Minneapolis convention, insists that there
be no more tariff changes, and pledges the
party to the faithful and efficient dis
charge of public trusts which have char
acterized it in the past.
The delegates assembled at ii a. m. and
were called to order by Chairman Jewett
of the State committee, who introduced
the permanent chairman, Gen. Charles
ii. Bartlett of Manchester, who made a
ringing address. The committee on reso-
Iutions then reported the platform which
was adopted. The name OF William S.
for Governor and those OF George
A. Ramsdell of Nashua and
Charles A. Busiel of Laconia were
presented amid cheers. Tellers were APP
pointed and the vote was taken by count
les, resulting in Mr.. Bushels nomination
by rs plurality. The nomination was
made unanimous, and in response to re-
quest of the convention Mr.. Busiel ap-
peared and made brief speech OF accept
ance.
1T the Second District Congressional
Republican convention Hon. Henry NJ.
Baker was nominated by reclamation.

Friendly offices of Our Government to
Effect Peace.

Friendly offices OF Our Government to
Effect Peace.
The new treaty with China was signed
at Washington and on August 13 it
received the sanction of the senate.
Ratification on the part of China and a
formal exchange are awaited to give
effect to this mutually beneficial con-
vention.
A gratifying recognition of the uni
form impartiality of this country tow
ards all foreign states was manifested
by the coincident request of the Chin
csc and Japanese governments that the
agents of the United States should,
within the proper limit, afford protec-
ton to the subjects of the other, dur
ing the suspension of diplomatic rela-
tons due to a state of war. This deli
cate office was accepted and a misap-
prehension which gave rise to the belief
that in affording this kindly unofficial
protection our agents would exercise
the same authority which the with
drawn agents of the belligerents had ex-
ercised was promptly corrected.
Although the war between China and
Japan indorses no policy of the Unit
ed States, ii deserves our gravest con-
sideration by reason of It's disturbance
of our growing commercial interests
in the two countries and the increased
dangers which may result to our citi-
zens domiciled or sojourning in the in
terror of China. Acting under stipula-
ton in our treaty with Corea (the first
concluded with a western power), I
felt constrained at the beginning of the
controversy to tender our good offices

COAST DEFENSE
The skill and industry of our ordnance
officers and inventors have, 1t is be-
lieved, overcome the mechanical OBJ
stacles which have heretofore delayed
the armament of our coasts. This great
national undertaking upon which we
have entered may now proceed as rap
idly as congress shall determine. With
supply of finished guns of large cal
ibre already on hand, to which addi-
tons should now rapidly follow, the
| wisdom of providing carriages and EN-
| placement for their mount cannot be
| too strongly urged.
The total enrolment of the militia
| of the several states is 1883 officers
| and enlisted men, an increase of 5,34S
| over the number reported at the close
of the previous year. The reports of mi
| litia inspections by regular army Off

and efficiency in state organizations

Easily Explained.


Easily Explained.
The report OF the postmaster gen.
eral presents a comprehensive state
ment of the operations of the post
office department for the fiscal year.
The receipts of the department during
the year amounted to $4,000, 470.04 and
the expenditures to $S4.324, 414.1 5.
The transactions of the postal service

complications continued to exist
throughout last year to an unforeseen ex-.
tent it is not surprising that there is.
a deficiency of revenue to meet the ex-
penditures of the postoffice depart
ment. which was estimated in advance,
at about 81, 00O, 900. The ascertained rev.
enues last year which were the basis
of calculation for the current year,
being lower than estimated, the defici-.
ency for the current year will be corr
respondingly greater, though the post
master general states that the latest
indications are so favorable that he con-
fidently predicts an increase of at least
eight per cent. in the revenues of the
current year over those of the last
year. The expenditures increase stead
lily and necessarily with the growth
and needs of the country. so that the
deficiency is greater or less in any
year depending upon the volume of re-
ceipts.
THE MAIN REMEDY.
The postmaster general states that
this deficiency is unnecessary and might
be obviated at once If the law REGULATE
ing rates upon mail matter of the sec
ond class was modified. The rate re-
ceived for the transmission of this sec
ond class matter is one cent per pound,
while the cost of such transmission to
the government is eight times that
amount. In the general terms of the
law this rate covers newspapers and
periodicals. The extension of the mean
ing of the terms from time to time has
admitted to the privileges intended for
legitimate newspapers and periodicals
a surprising range of publications and
created abuses the cost of which
amount in the aggregate to the total
deficiency of the postoffice department.
Pretended newspapers are started by
business houses for the mere purpose
- S''NCi tiSihS SOpuS, COMPLYING with
the law in form only and disseminating
the publications as soon as the period
of advertising is over. Sample copies
of pretended newspapers are issued in
great numbers for a like purpose only.
The result is great loss of revenue
to the government besides it's humil-
iating use as an agency to aid in car
rying out the scheme of business
house to advertise its goods by means
of a trick upon both its rival
houses and the regular and legitimate
newspapers.
Paper-covered literature consisting
mainly of trashy novels TO the extent OF
many thousands of tons is sent through
the mails at one cent per pound, while
the publishers of standard works are
required to pay three times this amount
in sending their publications. Another

THE EZETA CASE.

outbreak certain of its military and

Infatuated insurgents sought refuge on
board of the United States warshinp

ment. yet in view of the imminent peril
which threatened the fugitives and sole
ly from considerations of humanity.

commander, and when afterwards de-
manded under our treaty of extradition
with Salvador for trial on the charges
of murder, arson and robbery, | directed
that such of them as had not voluntar-
lily left the ship be conveyed to one of
our nearest ports, where hearing could
be held before a judicial officer, in COM
pliance with the terms of the treaty.
On their arrival at San Francisco such
"A proceeding was promptly instituted
before the United States district judge,
who held that the acts constituting the
alleged offenses were political. and dis
charged all of the accused except one
Cienfuegos, who was held for an at
tempt to murder. Thereupon was con-
strained to direct his release for the rea-
son that an attempt to murder was not
one OF the crimes charged against him,
and upon which his surrender to the

manded.
