HELENA, Mont, Sept 10.-The after
noon session of the Republican State con-
vention was a most stormy one, and at
one time it looked as though the gold men
would walk out of the hall. The trouble
arose over the report of the committee on
permanent organization. There was ma
jority and two minority reports. The ma
jority report was adopted after several
hours Of heated debate. After the adoption
of the majority report the next order of
business was the nomination of Governor.
j. Z. Richards, the present incumbent,
Lieutenant Governor A. G. Botkin and
Colonel Kessler were put in nomination
Botkn was nominated on the fifth ballot.
At II o'clock the convention completed
the ticket as follows: Lieutenant Govern
or. p r. Dolman; Secretary of State,
Louis Rotwitt; Treasurer, w. G. Webster;
Auditor A. l.. Love; Superintendent of
Public Instruction, J. p. Hendrix; Attor-
ney-generaI, s. G.. Murray; Associate Jus
tice S. o. Grub. The silver men then
withdrew to allow the gold men to adopt
a platform and nominate congressional and
Mckinley electors.

PERRY'S VICTORY.
A Memorable Fight on Lake Erie Gel
ebrated at Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, o., Sept 10.-Beautiful
weather greeted Perry's Victory day and
the closing day of the citys centennial cell
ebration. Nearly all business ceased. Long
before the hour set for the ceremonies to
begin the streets were filled with enor-
nous crowds of people. The celebration
was begun at $50 o'clock this morning by
the firing of the national salute of forty
five guns. At $50 there was a reception
to Governor Lppett and staff, of Rhode
Island and other distinguished visitors. An
hour later the exercise at the Central ARM
DRY commenced where. following various
selections, of music, Mayor McKisson in
troduced Governor Bushnell of Ohio,
president of the day. After an address by
Governor Bushnell and prayer by Rev.
John Mitchell, Governor Charles Lippett, OF
Rhode Island, delivered grafton. He
was followed by ex-United States Senator
NJ c.. Butler, of South Carolina, nephew
of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, Rev.
DR.. c. E. Manchester. third cousin OF
Commodore Perry, made the closing prayer.
In the afternoon great civic and in
dustrial pageant took place and many thou
sands of people participated. The parade
tive ever seen in this city. 1t was in three
sections-military, civic and industrial. The
battle of Lake Erie. which has immortal
lied the name of Oliver Hazard Perry,
was reproduced on the lake front this even
ing in a sham battle and pyrotechnical dis
play which was the grand finale of the
centennial celebration.

MERELY A WARNING.
Why the Bank of England Raised It's
Discount Rate.

LONDON, Sept 1.-THE Times says edi-
toriaHy: There is good reason to think
that the rise in the Bank of England s
discount rate could not have been much
longer delayed without a certain amount
of risk. The resolution of the New York
bankers to obtain gold artifcially in certain
contingencies was wise and patriotic. For
tunately, there was no need of an artificial
importation. We are satisfied that the
present bullion movement is a natural one
in obedience to the normal play of eco
nomic forces. We calculate that the bank S
reserve now should be at least G31, 900 900
and in view of the probably further heavy
Withdrawals the directors acted wisely 1t
Will probably not stop the drain of gold
to America, but it will warn business men
that the reign of excessively low rates is
ended for the present. 1t proves that the
governors are alive to the necessity of
keeping a much larger reserve than was
kept prior to 1890 and that they do not
mean that the banks position shall be en-
dangered by the possibility of a sudden
withdrawal of a part or a whole of the

cloak dealer and maker, and a member of
the wholesale firm of Lowenstein & Ober-

have plenty of money and was thought to
be a commercial traveller. When found to-
day Oberwarth had in his mouth one end
of a rubber tube, which was fastened to

The only reason that can be assigned for
the suicide is that Mr.. Oberwarth had
worried a great deal over the health of his
young son. who is low with consumption.

THE TRAMwAY CASE.
Heard and Taken Under Advisemen
by Judge de In verxne.

In the District Court yesterday
afternoon, the case of 9. V. Stur-
devant against the Hawaiian
Tramways Company for 500
damages for an overcharge in fare
was heard.
The plaintiff testified that he
boarded car No. 9 on King street
on July 2Sth and upon paying
five cents to the driver requested
a transfer to the Nuuanu street
line as he wanted to go to School
street. The driver had no trans
fers, knew nothing about
any and refused to give
one. Aafter riding about a quarter
of mile the plaintiff reached
Nuuanu street where he took an
other car and was forced to pay
five cents more to ride to School
street. The plaintiff s testimony
was corroborated by j. Green.
The defense did not dispute
any of the facts set up
but attempted to prove
by the evidence of w. H. Pain
that there was no system of trans
fers in vogue and never had been
in the seven years he had
been superintendent of the line.
He testified that there was no con-
nection whatever between the
King street and Nuuanu street
lines and that the time table used
by the company did not provide
for any. He showed by the time
table that a wait of several
minutes would be necessary to
make connections at the corner of
Nuuanu and King. Mr.. Pain al
so maintained that if the plaintiff
wanted to go to School street it
was his place to have taken the
Beretania street line.
At the conclusion Of Mr. Pains
testimony the Court took the mat
ter under advisement.
