The city convention was called to Or
der by J. H. Williamson last evening and
he was elected chairman. G. j. Porter
was appointed secretary. A large attend
ance of citizens was present to witness
the proceedings which were harmonious
throughout and were watched with
great interest.
A committee on credentials was ap-
pointed, consisting of 81. P. Smith, FL
mer Sheridan and Peter Marquart,
which reported the following delegates
entitled to seats:
First ward-Joseph Opperud, j. II.

dert, G. j. Porter, E. Sheridan.
Third ward-Geo. Irish, Pat. Tierney,
Q. L. Fuller, Chas. Bingham.
Fourth ward-A. G.. Schmidt, Peter
Marquart.
This necessary preliminary finished, it
was decided to take An informal ballot
for mayor, and Chas. Bingham and Jo-
seph Opperud we're appointed tellers.
The informal ballot resulted: John
Larkin, 8; 4. G. Schmidt, 5; w. E. Dan
iels, l; G. j. Porter, l. Formal ballot,
Larkin, 8; Schmidt, A.; Daniels, 3. John
Larkin was declared the nominee.
An informal ballot was then called for
on a candidate for city treasurer. The
convention seemed partial to informal
ballots. desiring, no doubt, to feel it's way
cautiously and surely. The ballot re-
suited, j. l.. Jones, 8; j. A. johnson, 7.
The formal ballot resulted the same and
Jones was declared the nominee.
For city justice, the convention was
more at sea. The informal ballot gave
DR.. J. r. Jones, 3; Hugh Murray, 8; scat.
tering, 3. The formal ballot resulted,
Murray, IL; Jones, 4; and Murray was
declared the nominee.
On police justice, the convention was
more divided still, the informal bsllo,
giving D. D.. Holdridge 7: Peter Maj
quart, 2; Geo. r. Farmer, 3; scattering, 3
Peter Msrquart withdrew his name and
the formal ballot resulted, Holdridge, Z;
Farmer, 8; and the latter wal declared
the nominee.
The school treasurership was no
much coveted and the convention tool
the usual two ballots to find "where i
was at" Frank Smith, present incum
bent, having notified many delegate
that he would not accept a denomination
The first ballot gave Frank Smith 5
Joseph Opperud, 7; scattering, 3. Th'
formal ballot gave Smith S; Opperud, 8
scattering, l; and Opperud was declare,
the nominee.
The effort Of the Morning Bladde
down the street to have nominated

stituting the chairmen of the ward CON-
mittees the city committee for tho en-
suing year, adjourned.

NO HOPE TO SAVE THE TOWN.
A Wall of Water Menaces Chippewa
 Falls

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Dec. D. Business is abandoned and the city is in a state of tumult- Thousands of people are anxiously waiting in groups of fifty or more excitedly discussing the situation on every corner. Any thing is expected and nothing may happen, but the greatest danger lies in the probable changing of the river S course to throw it into the town. The thoroughly alarmed people are making every effort to leave as little for the incoming waters to destroy as they possibly can. Two hundred teams and drays have rushed hither and thither all day. The streets are Uttered with merchandise. The water 1 remained stationary until about 3 o'clock this morning and then began rising. The river at 10 o'clock is twenty four feet high and rising. l The water can never cut it's way un- der the fifteen miles of ice gorge formed in the bed of the river Ex- perts believe the gorge will soon be- come anchored to the bottom of the river In this case the river must | flow out around it, and it's natural course in this event lies directly be- hind the town.
 Three thousand pounds of dynamite arrived this morning and men have been exploding it at various points along the river. It failed to relieve the situation. All the buildings on River street today are flooded to the second story and the ice around them is do- ing serious damage to the structures The Central depot is under three feet of water and will be carried away be- fore night The Milwaukee freight depot is in a similar situation and the coal sheds near by are wrecked. report reached here this morning that the gorge at Little Falls dam eighteen miles above the city had broken away permitting rush of water upon the town. If this report is authentic the entire town will be inundated as soor as the water arrives.
 Fifty of the. largest business firm. have abandoned their structures en tirely and all residents have made preparations to seek a place of safety in case the worst occurs.
 The damage already done in this city and the rich farming country above it is estimated at $1 100000.
 DURAND, Wis, Dec. 2.-Chippews
 river at this point has fallen fv' inches since morning. The ice arount the hill is still firm and the river il closed in, but there will be no furthe
 damage here unless the Chippew; gorge breaks. No lives have been los in the bottoms, as stated by the United Press. The loss of stock and propert. : is heavy.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-Repcrts were in quite general circulation here today that Secretary Olney some time in November had given the Spanish government courteously, but forcibfy. to understand that the Cuban rebel- lion must be crushed within three months or the United States would be compelled to intervene to stop hostili- ties.
 It was said that prominent Repubfi- can senators had been apprised of the ultimatum No confirmation of fhe reports could be obtained in official circles here today and it was denied that Spain had been given any such ultimatum.
 The senators who have been active l, in foreign affairs and who have con suited the state department officials on the Cuban situation, express the opinion that the administration has not made any radical change in it's attitude, but number of them gave it as their personal opinion that con- gress lad adopted vigorous measures i to end the present state of J.ffairs. It is said that the president will | take early occasion to send to congress a report which Consul General Lee has submitted Co the secretary of state on the result of his observations in Cuba
 | A prominent member of the senate committee on foreign relations said today it would not be possible for the president to send his Spanish message to congress in view of the report which ConsuI-General Lee had made to Sec retary Olney.
 It is known that General Lees re port presents very grave, not to say horrifying, condition of affairs in Cuba.
 The peaceable citizens who have no interest in the war excspt to see ii ended whether within Spanish cr Cuban lines are the sufferers. If within the Cuban lines the Spanish will destroy crops, burn houses and upon the slightest pretext alleged put men to death or imprison them on the ground that they have been aiding the rebellion. Non-combatants within Spanish territory that is occupied by the Cubans are given nRe treatment on the ground that they sympathize with Spain.
 The report points out how men are often hurried to prison and condemned without trials. The report also shows that cruelty is practiced On hoth sides. but it states that more cases have come to General Lees knowleore of wrongs on the part of the Spanish

THE "OLD TAR" STATE.
Question Of Her Senato-stip Exciting
 Much Attention

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-sA number of Populists are trying to succeed MT. Pritchard as North Cardinals United States senator. The senator thinks lie has Populist pledges sufficient with the Republican plurality te re-elect him. But Senator Butler cracks his whip, and the majority of his party hasten to fall into line against the man they all promised two years ago to re- elect if he should be the choice of the Republican caucus Of the fact that he is the choice of his party no sort of doubt is anywhere suggested. And yet, as they say in the Old Tar State, the woods are full of Populist as- pirants for the senate. So far the only candidate who has gone around canvassing for himself is State Rail road Commissioner s. Otho Wilson
 Ex-Judge Spier Whitaker, Major W. A. Guthrie, Dr. Cyrus P Thompson, and last, but not least, by any means, ex-Congressman Oliver H Dcckery, are mentioned by their friends, and are more or less pressed for the place among Populists and Democrats. The only Democrat considered seriously is Justice Walter Clark of the state supreme court, and he CD account of his afinities with Populism chiefly
 The question of who shall be senator from North Carolina excites much in terest here, as it may determine the complexion of the parties in the sen ate after March 4. Mr. Pritchard has made good senator, and is a clear
 headed, practical politician of the newer sort, coming to the front in his part of the country. If he is able to secure the votes of the Populist mem bers who are said to be pledged to him he will be returned. If reelected he will be the most conspicuous southern Republicans in the Fifty-ftfth congress
