HAS THERE BEEN. A GREAT. DIS
ASTER?

Corunna, Spain, Sept. "a dispatch
from Muros, in the province of Corun-
ma, states that an explosion at sea
was heard Saturday night off Cape
Finisterre. Sunday morning some fish
ermen found a quantity of wreckage
floating off the Cape, some of which
had the name Fusi Yama painted on it.
1t is believed that two vessels were
in collision, that an explosion followed
and that both foundered. There is
British steamer named Fusi Yama.
She arrived at Antwerp August II,
from Marseilles and it is probable she
was bound back to the Mediterranean
and was the vessel to which the wreck
age found belonged. She was an iron
schooner-rigged screw vessel of 1874
tons.

doubt. that the only effect on election
of my candidacy would be TO dimin-

these gentlemen for election. Men
differ in their opinions as to whose
chances would be the most seriously
impaired; but in any event, the whole
effect of my candidacy, so far as cleo
ton is concerned, would be what l
have stated above, namely, to dimin-
ish the chance of one or the other of

constrained, highly as l prize the

place me in nomination, to decline to

CUNEY'S WATERLOO.
BEATEN IN HIS OWN GANG FOR
LEADER.
Overwhelming Defeat stares Him in the
Face On the First Ballot-White Re-
form Republicans Meet Today.

Fort Worth, Tex, Sept. Especial
The bowling mob of Black and Tan
Republicans, after two days wrang-

ing and the negro boss, Quincy, is
downed by another negro boss, c. NJ.
Ferguson, who beat him for the chair
manship by about one hundred votes
on the roll call, and Cuney's name was
withdrawn by G. G. Clifford.
The Bexar county delegates feel very
sick and downhearted over Cuney's
dGeat.
The Republican League will meet
this afternoon. Sam Hahn, of San An
tonic, stands a good chance of being
elected as the next president of the
League.
The White Reform Republicans are
here in full force and will meet this
afternoon.
1t now looks a little like fusion and a
general harmony meeting since the
Terrell, Clifford and Quincy crowd is
downed.
Fort Worth, Tex, Sept. Especial
After spending forty-eight hours in fix
ing things the Republican leaders came
to the conclusion this morning that it
was time to open the ball, and accord
ingly Chairman Grant raped the con-
vention to order at a very few minutes
past ten o'clock. From the opening
he told the crowd that he wanted har
mony in the meeting and intended hav-
ing it, and later he saw that all out
siders were taken out of the hall for
Of downing attnmnt
to create a riot.
Matters were worked skillfully along.
Grant reported for the executive
committee that they wanted Charley
Ferguson for temporary chairman, and
DR. Clifford, of San Antonio, placed
Cuney's name before the convention.
After some delay roll call was taken
up and then it became evident that Gu
ney had met his waterloo. AS the roll
call proceeded his strength dwindled
to insignificance and finally, when the
call was about a third through with,
Clifford withdrew him and Ferguson
was elected by acclamtion, though
many wanted to continue the roll call.
No sooner had Ferguson been declar-
ed elected than the crowd was trans
formed into a bowling, but good natur-
ed mob, and was verify a harmony
meeting. They charged on to the plat
form and grabbing Grant and Fergu-
son on their shoulders marched up and
down the hall with them, and kept it
up for ten minutes.
After this, however, the convention
settled down to business and at two
o'clock they are appointing commit
tees looking to permanent organiza-
ton. Today is generally conceded to
be Grants victory and he will now I'M
doubtedly be in the race for state
chairman against Green.
