heavy tackles that had been set I'D on
each side of the entrance to the dock.
The deck Of the caisson is injured to such
an extent that 1t will be replaced probably
with an iron one. The damage to the deck
was caused by the immense weight Of the
crane scow, upon which the 40-ton; crane
is located, settling down OF the deck when
the tide went out. =. "
AS soon as the wafer was out from be-
tween the decks the caisson came up al

been dashed about the caisson to be used

at 8 O'Clock this afternoon 1t was ffoated

The Thetis will come out of dock, and
tomorrow morning the caisson will be re-
turned in place and the dock pumped out
to ascertain il there is any trouble with
the bottom of the caisson; also if the ends
are SO that no water will leak past the
rubber gaskets. The dock will be cleared
and the blocks set anew for the Tbetis.
After this is done the dock will again. be

General Weaver, the Populist nominee for

successful in electing its State ticket at
the last election In Colorado.
The News had been a strong Democratic
organ, but when Cleveland was nominated
by that party il bolted the ticket and or
ganzed the Silver Democrats, who affiliated
with the Populists.
The nomination Of Davis 81. Waite for
