was able to get the Nina under control.
Off the banks of Newfoundland, on Aug
ust l4th, the Nina encountered a gale of
wind, and was hove to for forty-three
hours. He then found that the little
schooner's rudder was sprung SO much
that he had to lower himself over the
stern in order to partly repair it. He
was not able to repair the rudder sufli-
ciently for it TO be used, and he was forced
to steer her over 1000 miles with rope
gearing towed astern. He lost his reck-
onlng some time afterwards and went for
days without knowing his whereabouts.
Eventually he spoke the steamer Me-
mantle and got his position. The Nina
was then headed straight for Queens
town.

DENVER, Sept. 12.-There were 953 dele
gates present at the Republican State
Convention to-day, few of whom were
women taking part in their first State
convention under the equal suffrage law.
Senator James W. McCreery was elected
Temporary Chairman, committees were
appointed and a recess taken.
Before recess Senators Wolcott and
Teller addressed the convention. VOL
colt urged the redemption of the State
from Populist misrule. He SAID: "a new
element has entered politics, and the
women of the State must bear their share
of the burden. There is no good citizen
who does not thank his Maker that the
women will cast their ballots with him to
prevent misrule. Since Colorado became
State there has never been an hour
when It's motto could so earnestly be in
vcked as now-'Nothing without Divine
aid There must be enough men and
women in this State to save it from fur
ther misrule. | believe that this conven-
ton will not listen to the claim of any
man for office, but will select citizens
who Will save the State from niSrule."
At the conclusion of Senator Wolcott's
remarks Senator Teller took the plat
platform. He gave brief history of the
fight in Congress last winter to prevent
the repeal of the Sherman bill, and
stated that the silver cause all over the
world was growing so rapidly that it was
in his opinion but a short time until a
free coinage law would be enacted by
Congress. He agreed with his colleague
in his statement that he was willing to
withdraw from the Republican party
when it ceased to be friendly to the cause
of silver.
The Committee on Credentials made
their report, and the temporary organiza-
tion was made permanent.
Nominations being in order the follow
ing were made: For Judge of the SUI
preme Court, John Campbell of Colorado
Springs: for Governor, A. w. McIntire

LONDON, Sept. 12.-There was great an
noyance felt by the fruit dealers in CO.

no California fruit is arriving. The

reputation of the California fruit, and
hundreds of the smaller dealers, finding

the shipments stopped. and now no fruit
from California is expected to arrive be-
fore September 26th. There are no pears
nor plums in the market, and if a supply
OF California-grown product was now in
the market it would command high
prices. The last in color and quantity in
the previous shipment was highly ap-
proved. Much fruit was repacked in
small baskets and sold as English grown,
a trick that will be always possible un-
less quantity of the California product
is regularly sent. That there would be
some loss at the outset of such an inn
portant fruit movement should have been
expected. The early shipments were
only advertisements If the shippers
fail now to forward fruit regularly they
will undo all that has been done.
