Republican state Convention.

The struggle for the nomination for
justice !of the supreme court of Michi-
gan was the feature of the Republican
state convention at the Auditorium,
Detroit. The candidates were plenti-
ful-Judge Joseph Il. Moore. Lapeer;
Phillip II. Van Zile, Charlotte; Il. ID.
Kinne, Ann Arbor; George NJ. Buck,
Kalamazoo; Edward Cahill, Lansing;
III. W. Stevens, Port Huron; III. III.
Hat.h, Bay City; A. V. McAlvay, Man
istcs. Robert j. Kelly, Alpena; ID. I'll.
Balt Marquette.
'i convention was organized by
mak ng. Hon. w. j. Cocker, of Adrian,
TEN ,Drary chairman, and ID. e. Alvord,
temporary secretary. After char
act1ristic Republican speech by Chair
man Cocker the committees were
named and a recess taken.
Upon resuming, there being no con-
tests, all delegates were declared
seated. The temporary organization
was made permanent and Gov. Rich
was called upon for speech. He re-
sponded briefly and was cheered when
he finished. Nominations were then
taken up, and after the 10 candidates
names had been presented balloting
was declared in order. On the first
ballot Judge Van Zile had the lead,
with Judge Moore but 22 votes behind.
On the third Moore took strong lead,
which he maintained TO the seventh,
when he lacked but few of having
the necessary number TO secure the
prize. Then Capt Il. Z. Allen moved
that Judge Moore be unanimously
nominated, and it was carried with a
big rush.
Two regents of the University of
Michigan were TO be nominated also,
and the names of Roger w. Butter
field, of Grand Rapids, (for re-nomina-
tom; Chas. Ill. Hackley, Muskegon;
George Barnes, lowell, and Richard
Mason, Gladstone, were presented.
Mr.. Butterfleld had scarcely an oppos-
ing vote on the first ballot and his
nomination was made unanimous. A
motion was made for the same
action on Mr.. Hackley's name;
the other names were with
drawn and it went through. The
committee on resolution3' report was
adopted and the convention ad djourned.
The resolutions congratulate the party
on its victories of last November;
charge the Democratic party with NAL
administration of national affairs,
banlrupting the u. s. treasury; de-
nounce Cleveland's Hawaiian policy;
approve and reafiirm the Republican
platform of 1894; indorse the action of
Michigan Republicans in congress in
voting against the change of the word
''coin to gold" on the u. S. bonds;
indorse the present state administra-
ton; deeply lament the death of SEN
ator Stoc'Sbridge.

Break In the A. Z. A.

The disscnsion existing in the ranks
of the American Protective association
in Illinois, growing out of refusing to
admit certain delegates in the last
state convention at Chicago, and of a
subsequent suit for damages against
State President Clarence z. Johnson
for S25, 200 by Prof. Walter Sims, has
resulted in the organization of an op-
position society, known as the National
Assembly Patriotic League. The de-
clared object is Ito promote American
patriotism and independence in poll
ties, reform all municipal, state and
national governments, and maintain
non-sectarian public schools and other
works.

Exce,lent outlook for Peaches.

Peach buds are now so mature that
some idea of the coming crop may be
gained. Many feared that the buds
would be injured by the extremely
cold weather in January, but as they
were backward at the beginning OF
winter, owing to the long drouth. fav-
orable reports are now heard. There
are plenty of good healthy buds, and
only few are blasted The thousands
of trees coming into bearing this year
will far out-numbered those in de-
cline. Farmers are all very hopeful
Raspberries, blackberries and straw
berries are all right never better pro-
tected than during this winter.
Steady cold winters, with no severe
frosts during the latter part of April
or May are decidedly conducive of
favorable results in fruit culture.

Hicks Deserves Punishment.

Rev. Irl r. Hicks, the western prog
nosticator of storms, predicted that a
severe blizzard would sweep over the
northern states February 20 and 21.
After the severe Arctic frigidity of the

France Worrying Over Egypt.

Paris: Rumors of an unsatisfactory
nature as to the condition of affairs in
Egypt are causing uneasiness here.
A dispatch from Cairo says that
friendly natives assert that "a rising
will take place during the Ramadan,
the great annual feast of the Moham-
medans. This rising has been foretold
in Mohammedan fanatical circles.
The Journal des Debats asserts that in
the European chancelleries there is no
readiness to admit the existence of a
British protectorate in Egypt, and in
sists that the task of France is to rouse
continental Europe so that it will give
unmistakable evidence that its sym
pathy is with Egypt as against Great
Britain.

east of that place, in an old log house
which was thought to be vacant. The

saginaw vai:oy Mills, Small showing.

The effect of the general business
depression last year was shared by the
lumber industry of the Saginaw river.
Many of the mills were only operated
a portion of the season, and there was
no attempt made TO score big records.
Still, under the circumstances, fair
output resulted. The 40 numbering
plants operated on this river in 1894
produced 4Sl, ,244, 900 feet of lumber,
against 7Os, ,465, ,027 feet in 1899, and
there remained on hand at the close Of
the season of 1894 2S3, $3.50, 024 feet. This
does not include stocks in local yards
operated independently of saw mills.
The lumber output in 1894 was the
smallest since 1868. The record of the
Saginaw river mills is, however, un-
equaled by any manufacturing district
of like area in the world.
