ON THE MAZE THIS WEEK
KEEP YOUR EYES ON

only puts bluntly what seems to be felt in
all parts of the empire. Although Cham
berlain seems to be holding his own in
Parliament, it is evident that this collapse
of his pet project has heavily discredited
his reputation outside.
Largely through the efforts of Mr.. Lath-
rope, our Consul at Bristol, the citizens of
that city are making fine progress with
their scheme for celebrating next June the
four hundredth anniversary OF the sailing
OF the Cabots. 1t is understood that the
Prince of Wales will consent to lay the
cornerstone of grand memorial there the
same day and hour the Duke of York lays
one of like nature in Canada, and there is
certainly no other European town where
visiting Americans would get heartier
or more intelligent welcome than in
Bristol.
A Liverpool correspondent comments
to-day on the fact that the English papers
have not given their readers a single hint
of the fact that there has been what he
calls a grave collapse of the cycle boom in
America. He asserts that during the past
month $751; 600 worth OF American ma
chimes have been entered at Liverpool as
LAC 1CouAb VI tAC lOACCQ Sd1CS III o1nSIlCd.
The prices for which they have been SELL
ing, he adds, have already badly broken
the Liverpool market and will proba bly,
effect England at large. This statement
may precipitate a crash next week here,
where the bringing out of new cycle COM
panies has grown to be a universal mania.
The Manchester Chamber of Commerce
has committed itself to the new idea of
utilizing streetcars, or what are called
here, '.tramway lines" during the dead
hours of night for the conveyance of mer-
chandise, and it will associate itself with
similar progressive bodies in the north to
press upon Parliament the adoption of
some scheme to make general this night
use of such tracks and plants. There is
no doubt that the motor-carS bill will be-
come a law this session and the engineers
of various municipalities are hard at work
over plans to utilize this new machinery
also for general civic purposes.
The new volume of the Historical" Sc
ries proves TO be of unexpected interest
from an American point OF view. Eleven
years ago, when the Calendar of Dart
mouth" manuscripts were published, it
was supposed that nothing more was OBJ
tainable from that source, but in 1891,
when the new Earl of Dartmouth came
into the title, he had things cleaned up,
and among some discarded rubbish were
found several packets of old love letters
largely relating to the period of the Amer.
ican Revolution and containing :nforma-
tion most of which was hitherto unknown.
These letters begin with the enforcement
of the stamp act and continue through
I775 nearly to the close of the war. Lord
Dartmouth was the nobleman whose coat
of arms is reproduced in our Stars and
Stripes through marriage with the Wash
ingtons of Leicester-a fact which has
given rise to endless heraldic and genoa
| logical controversies.

were upstairs in their home when the
flood came. Mr.. Longnecker saved all but
one member of his family, a little boy
called Jake.
GOLDEN, CoLo., July 25.-Three bodies,
all that are known to have been lost in last
nights food in this city have been re-
covered. The dead are:
A. A. Johnson,
Mrs. A. A. Johnson,
Mrs. J. f. Edwards all of Golden.
Another food came out of the canyon this
afternoon, but no lives were lost. Seven
teen people came in from Idaho Springs
this afternoon, having left the train at
Beaver Brook and walked in from that
point They report that the track and
roadbed are about all gone between Golden
and Beaver Brook.
Abe. o'clock last night threatening
clouds came over the hill from the direc-
tion OF Morrison. 1t had been cloudy and
foggy all day and the clouds gathered to-
ward evening in ominous-looking masses.
Rain fell in torrents from the start, fol-
lowed by hail, then a wall of water from
twenty-five to thirty feet in height came
rushing down Clear Greek, carrying every
thing before it.
The food lasted about half an hour and
was followed by heavy rain, which con-
tinued until about 10 O'Clock. AT that
hour body of water, greater in volume
than the first food, came down Tucker
Gulch, emptying into Clear Creek. 1t
was this second food that carried away
the house of Johnson and his wife, and
which drowned Mrs. Edwards.
The body of Mrs. ]. f. Edwards was
found face downward in Tucker Gulch.
She leaves husband and two children.
She went out to look for her cattle
last night and was not heard from after
that.
The body of Mrs. Johnson was found 200
feet from the site of her house among
some trees. Her husbands body was
found in a tree near Coos brewery. They
had been caught while in their little cot
tage home.
The scene around the bed of the creek
is terrible. Water came down Ford street
from Tucker Gulch carrying many houses
with it. On Washington avenue and
other parallel streets the scene is the
same. Two bridges have been washed
out, and three piers of the Denver, Lake
wood and Golden bridge were knocked
out by the iron work of the Ford-street
bridge. The loss is estimated to be be.
tween $40, 600 and $4,000.

FIRST DAY.


At 1870 7. II. Senator Carter, chairman OF
the Republican national committee, called the
convention to order.
The chaplain-Rabbi Salc-opencd with
prayer-the whole asSemblage standing.
At the conclusion OF the invocation Chairman
Carter said the convention was assembled IN
compliance with the terms OF i call issued by
the national committee on the 18th of Decem-
Der, 1895" which he requested the secretary 10
read
Chairman Carter then said: "Gentlemea Of
the conventions: BY direction OF the national
committee. l present for your approval for
your temporary chairman, Hon. Charles W.
Fairbanks. Of Indiana"
The selection Of the committee was approved
without a dissenting voice.
Upon taking the stand Temporary Chairman
Fairbanks delivered an addrCS>.t touching upon
national prosperity; the signal failure 81 the
democratic administration the financial rec
ord of the republican party and the frec-Sl!Ver
beresy. An allusion to Blaine produced a
genuine demonstration, the delegates rising
and cheering repeatedly.
The roll of states was accordingly called and
the members OF the various committees
named.
At the conclusion of the call Powell Clayton,
of Arkansas, sent up n resolution relating TO
she determination OF election contests which
he asked to have read and referred; but OBJ
lection being made it was referred without be-
ing read.
A resolution from colored people of Illinois
affecting their rights as a race was treated in
a like manner.
After an announcement of the places and
times of meeting of the four committees the
convention, at la p. m, adjourned until
Wednesday morning at ten o'clock.

The Mckinley column steadily increased.
When MiSSiSSippi'> IS votes were cast for Nc
KinIcy another of the cOlorej brethren de-
manded Il poll. which showed l vote Tor Quay
and Il for Mckinley. Montana cast | vote for
Mckinley. l for Don Cameron. of PenuSylva-
MIA: | blank and | absentee. The chair called
the name Of Mr.. Hartmau'S alternate. and he
voted blank.
There was n decided sensation when the
vote of New York was challenged by Warner
Miller. it had been announced 81 for Morton
and Il for Mckinley. Joseph H. Newins was
absent in the first district and the name OF his
alternate was called. Mr.. Gruber raised a
laugh by saving: He's Just leaving the room
to avoid voting
! The next alternate was called and voted for
Mckinley. The delegation voted sOlidly for
Morton till the half votes were reached. when
the halves divided equally between Mckinley
and Morton. Then came quite a number Of
breaks for Mckinley and three abSentees were
noted in the 2gth dis trict, John +. ParkhurSt.
and both the alternates, Charles NJ. Woodward
and Charles 7. Andrews. The poll resulted in
showing the yot to be exactly as announced:
Morton n. Mckinley IL
When Ohio was reached the requisite num-
Der Of votes were given to nominate Mckinley
and the convention recognizing the fact with
out announcement broke into cheers.
Texas delayed the final announcement a lit
tie by a challenge from one Of the dissatisfied
colored brethren. The poll resulted in 81 Nc
Kinley. > Reed. 3 Allison. : absent.
Another colored delegate challenged the vote
OF Virginia, and again delayed the official an
nouncement Of the final result, e~liciting marks
Of Impotence and dissatisfaction from the
convention. Viiyinia's vote on q poll stood:
Reed /, Mckinley %.
All the rest Of the roll of states went solo
for Mckinley.
When the territories were reached New
Mexico cast 1 vote for Allison aud 5 for Nc
Kinley, and amid howls of derision one OF the
delegates challenged the vote, and n pol
confirmed the accuracy of the first announce
ment.
Alaska wound up the roll by casting its
newly conferred four votes for Mckinley.
The absent delegate from New York, Mr.
Parkhurst. here appeared and by unanimou:
consent cast his vote for Morton. making The
total vote: Morton, %; Mckinley, IL.
All OF the states having been called, tht
president stated before the announcement o
the result, that application had been made Il
him for recognition by the representatives O
the defeated candidates TO make a certain mo
tion. He believed it would be the fairest waI
to recognize them in the order in which thu
nominations had been made.
He proceeded to announce the result Of thu
vote When he announced that VIM. Mckin
ley had received 66l1a votes the scene OF al
hour ago was repeated, Delegates and spec
tators arose and cheered and waved flags AM

When Mr.. Cannon had nearly finished the
reading OF the document, cries of Time" and
counter-cries of No.; let him finish" were
raised.
The chair again appealed for respectful at
tention to the protest, which he said was
nearly finished.
The names OF the SignerS to the protest, as
read by the secretary, were greeted with
| misses, and n voice in the rear called out
..Good-by. nv lover, good-by," as Senator
| Mantle and his associates fled out of the hall,

Mr.. Fessenden sketched Mr.. Bulkeley's ca

of the largest business enterprises OF the
state, and had thrice been elected mayor Of
the democratic city Of Hartford, and had given
them 4 magnificent administration.
Mr.. Humphrey. OF Illinois, briefly seconded
the nomination Of Mr.. Hobart in the name Of
Illinois.
The roll call of states was resumed, and New
York made no nomination.
When the state OF Rhode Island was called,
Mr.. Allen. of Rhode Island, came to the stand
and nominated for the vice-presidency Charles
Warren Lippitt. He said that that little state
had given n hero TO the revolution in l716, q
Burnside to the Union in 1861, and that 1t had
now in congress the ( ather OF the Mckinley
protection act (meaning Senator Aldrich).
When the state of Tennessee was called Mr..
Randolph, a delegate from that state, nomin-
ated for the. vIce-preSidency Henry Clay

The nomination of Mr.. Evans was seconded

a candidate for the ce-presldency, he said'
