linson hall in this citv at 1890 o'clock
on Wednesday, September 2. The dele
gates had been struggling in for nearly
an hour and when the gavel finally de-
scended the hall was well filed. There
was present a large number of men who
had been generally known as leaders of
the regular Democratic party in years
gone by, and as these entered the ball,
either singly or in groups they were
given an ovation. The man who called
the convention to order was Senator
John NJ. Palmer Of Illinois, the chair
man Of the provisional committee.
Prayer was offered and then ex-Con-
gresham Cultivate of Ohio read the
call for the convention. The va
rious states responded as their names
were called. Mr.. Brennan of Wis
consin was then introduced and
he read the report of the provisional ma
tional committee, which recommended
among other things that the rules which
governed the national convention of 1892
be adopted for this convention. The
report named ex-Gov. Flower of New
York for temporary chairman and John
r. Wilson of Indiana for temporary sec
rotary. Ex-Gov. Flower took the stage
and delivered a lengthy address fully
covering the political issues of the '96
campaign as viewed by himself and his
fellow delegates. At the conclusion of
his speech he called for the nomination
of the customary committees by the
various states represented, and recess
was then taken until afternoon.
The first order of business at the aft
ernoon session was the report of the
committee on credentials. This showed
that there were present S24 delegates,
representing forty-one states and three
territories. Pending the receipt of the
report Of the committee on permanent or
ganization, DR.. Everett of Massachu-
n on 10 onr+
was finally presented it named Senator
Gallery Of Louisiana for permanent
chairman and John r. Wilson of Indi-
ana for permanent secretary. Upon TAX
ing the chair, Senator Gallery delivered
an address covering the political ground
had done. He was followed by John
P. Irish of California and then the con-
Yention adjourned until the following
morning. There being no regular session
of the convention in the evening, the
hall was given up to a mass meeting,
heard.

much uncertainty as to the identity of

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 3.-The Ma
tional Democratic convention, or the
Gold Democratic" convention, as it is
more commonly called, placed the above
ticket in nomination this afternoon, and
having previously adopted sound mon
ey'' and tariff or-revenue-only platform,
its labors were ended and it adjourned
sine die. 1t was quite generally expected
in the Northwest that Gen. e. S. Bragg
of Wisconsin would be the presidential
nominee, but circumstances SO shaped
votes as against 1914 cast for Palmer.
The nomination of Buckner for the vice
presidency was by reclamation.

Chairman.
To which telegram Mr.. Cleveland, at
a late hour, sent this brief but con-
elusive answer:
Buzzard's Bay, Mass, Sept. 2.-Daniel
G. Griffin, Chairman New York Delegation:
My judgment and personal inclinations are
so unalterably opposed that ! cannot for
one moment entertain the suggestion.
GROVER CLEVELAND.
Senator Palmer followed by telling the
Illinois delegation that their use of his
name as candidate was unauthorized
and that he was not candidate in any
sense of the word. He qualified this
statement later by stating that if the
convention saw fit, after his positive
declination, to choose him, he supposed
it would be his duty to accept. Bragg's
friends were active, but they did not
seem to be able to overcome the oppoSi-
ton which had developed against his
candidacy.
The convention was called to order
shortly after IL o'clock by Permanent
Chairman Gallery. There had been a
disposition the evening before to hear

The nomination of vice-president was
then taken up and the name of Simon
Bolivar Buckner of Kentucky was pre-
scented. It had been generally under
honor and motion made to have the
nomination by reclamation was quickly
carried. This completing the work of
the convention it adjourned sine die.

Gaudaur has held the professional
championship of America since 1893 and
twice before-1SS6 and 1SS7-he held
the same honors. Gaudaur and Stan
bury have met before. The contest took
place at the regatta at Austin, Tex, in
1898, when Stanbury was not in good
form. Since that time Gaudaur has de-
feated Edward Hanlan, George Bubear,
Rogers, Hackett and other professionals
at the Halifax regatta. He also stroked
the -four which beat Bubear's English
combination.
The new champion has made two pre-
vious visits to England In 1883 he was
over there with George Hosmer Ed.
Hanlan and Wallace Ross, but he had
to succumb to Hanlan and Ross despite
his clever style, which was very much
admired by the English experts.
In 1886 Gaudaur rowed Beach. the
Australian, for the championship, from
Putney to Mortlake.
Stanbury won the Australian champi-
onship in 1891, when he defeated John
Mclean on the Parametta river.
Gaudaur weighed about IT'S pounds
He is 6 feet high, while Stanbury is
about seven pounds heavier and one inch

Sugar Matters,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The Senate
+ Finance Committee failed to meet to-
day, notwithstanding the instruction of
yesterdays caucus, because it was dis
covered that Senator Jones of Nevada
would not act with the Republican
members of the committee in reporting
the bill without an amendment pro-
viding for a. duty on sugar. The Re
publicans of the committee are in the
minority without Jones. He takes the
position that as the people of the Pa
cific coast are largely interested in the
beet sugar industry, any tariff bill
passed should provide for the protect
ton of this interest. If he maintains
this position and the Republican
caucus does not reverse it's instruc-
tions, it will be necessary to report
the bill adversely, if at all. Senator
Perkins will introduce resolution
favoring specific duty on raw sugar.
The people of the West are making
strenuous efforts to have the duty on
this product raised. The movement
will probably receive favorable con-
sideration in the House, but will like
ly meet with hard fight in the
Senate where the Sugar Trust still
has strong hold.

Believes Congress VIII Give the
Money.
Sir Audley Coote of Australia, who
came to this country a couple oil
months ago in the interest of the
Pacific cable, and has since been in
Washington, ID. c., returned here yes
terday and is at the Grand, says the
Call of January 1st.
He has attended the sessions of Con-
gress, become acquainted with lead
ing American statesmen and talked
the cable as best he could. He says
everything is working out all right.
According to Sir Audley's idea it is
only matter of little time. He says
that everywhere he went he received
nothing but encouragement. The
beauty of it was that it was backed up
in such way that there could be nc
doubt about it. 1t was not talk alone.
You'll get the CABLE" said he;
'there is no question about that.
Since I was here / have been. in
Washington a good deal and have
also talked to great many business
men of large purposes.
Everywhere L went L found the
greatest encouragement. The prOpO-
sition Is now that American capital
shall control the cable.
necessary money. 1 cannot now go
into all the details, but 1 can say this
much, that everything is in as salts
factory state as could be desired.
81 shall be here for about ten days.
I came on with Mrs. Coote, who is
visiting some friends, and think you
had better say my trip is independent
of the cable.
{" To Japan is the extent of the pro-
posed cable now. That will make it
distance from here of about 1900
miles. 1t is by our survey $3.50 miles
10 Honolulu, and on to Yokohama
will just about make it 1900 miles. If
we were to go on to Australia it would
make it about 5000 more, but that is
not contemplated.
'tBefore we get through, however,
the entire distance may be included.
You can just say that. 1 am so we'll

built that 1 regard it as q certainty"

w. r. Castle interviewed.

w. r. Castle, Minister from Hawaii
TO the United States, arrived from Oak
land On his way to Honolulu, and will
sail today, says the S. F. Chronicle of
Jan. 10th.
Minister Castle is in favor of the
joint resolution introduced by Spauld-
ing Of Michigan for the annexation of
Hawaii, but he says the dispatch as
transmitted concerning the resolution
is little obscure. 1t implies that the
resolution is for annexation as a State:
but he says that, as he understands it,
Hawaii has not population enough for
this. 1t has about 100000 people, while
173 900 is required by the laws of the
United States.
However, if it can be fixed up so
that we can be admitted as a State. so
much the better" said Mr. Castle.
"The people would be satisfied to come
in either as a State or as territory
There is one thing, we have more pop
ulation than they have in Nevada,
where, all told, they have now but
10000.
''The proposition to submit the mat
ter to a vote in Hawaii would be gen
orally approved, and 1 am convinced
that it would carry.
''AIr. Cleveland has treated me in the
most courteous manner. I would not
be at all surprised if he would favor
annexation. 1t is worthy of note that
in no public message has he really op-
posed it.
"The cable project is coming along
all right. I refer to the project of Mr.
Spalding of Honolulu. Congress is in
favor of it. The proposition is that
capitalists shall build it and that Con-
gress shall take it at it's actual cost.
1t will be built, I think"

States during the period of twenty
years from July, 1897, and TO stipulate
IN the agreement that the amount
paid for such service by the United
States shall be computed as follows:
First-The amount actually earned
during that year by the cable COM
pany in maintaining and operating
the cable, there shall be added a sum
sufficient to pay four per cent. on the
sum actually expended in the con-
struction of the cable.
SecOnd-From such a sum to be

current rates and deduction of $40,-
900, hereinbefore provided for, shall
for that year be diminished to the
extent of such excess. The company

order by July l, 1897, and capable of
transmitting not less than fifteen
words per minute. Provision is made
for reductions in case the cable be-
comes incompetent to carry messages
