fected, the names of those of the different
delegations chosen to act on the various
committees announced and the conven-
ton adjourned.

With chilling rain the day opened at
st. Louis Wednesday and the city wore a
depressed and sullen air after the turmoil
and excitement Of the day before. The
machine nomination Of Mckinley being
universally conceded the political barom-
eter dropped with the weather, and
thenceforth there was little to make the
great convention memorable in history,
At 20 minutes before II o'clock, Chair
man Fairbanks raped the vast assembly
to order. Marcus Hanna, tie latest rev
elation OF bossism, stood on the platform
at his left with Senator Thomas H. Carter
at the atters side. Dr. Wilbur Williams
offered prayer. The reports of the com
mlttees were not ready in order, but that
on permanent organization was called
Tor by decisive vote. 1t named John
M. Thurston of Nebraska for permanent
chairman. On coming to the chair SEN
ator Thurston delive red an address which
had been dressed in Wall street and car
rled the views and convictions of the
great gold contingent, and Of course was
literally applauded. The convention
then adjourned and came together again
at O'Clock p. m. :s-- ~.
At 2:4O the convention came to order
under the tap of Thurston's gavel. The
majority and minority reports Of the Gre
dentials committee were received. The
first was adopted and was distinct vic
tory for Mckinley. The convention then
adjourned to 10 o'clock a. M yesterday.

Concord, &C.. H., Dec. 80.--Uni4ea
States Senator j. Fl. GaHinger has re-
turned to his home in this city 10 look
after his reelection.
Senator GaHinger said he had NO doubt
that the Cameron Cuban resolutions
would pass the Senate before March.
IF the Cameron resolutions should
pass Congress over a presidential veto. I"
said the Senator, .'and tho President
should then refuse 90 act upon them, he
would subject himself TO impeachment.
There might be some question whether
the House of Representatives, which a.
lone has the power % present articles Of
Impeachment would vote 10 do 50, but
there Is no question ct ell whether the
President would be Liable to impeachment
in such an event"

London, Dee. 3O.-The correspondent Of
the Chronicle at Washington in a cable
dispatch to that paper diScboses that
there is no doubt THAT Spain has un0f-
f}cially, through Senior Dupuy De LONE,
their minister, promised 10 accept the
United States mediation directly after
Gen. Weyler has cleared the province Of
Pinar del Rio of rebels and then 90 grant
anything short Of actual independence for
Cuba. This dispatch continues:
"N0ne of the European powers has
protested against American intervention
in Cuba. On the contrary Mr. Olney has
been assured of their approval, England,
however remaining strictly neutral. The
reports Of q European protest We're in
spired by Mgr. Martinelli, the pontifeal
delegate to the United States"
The Chronicle also again asserts that
''the ridiculous statesment" of M. De
Blowitz, the Paris correspondent Of the
Times that Germany and other Euro
pean governments were preparing to pro-
test against American intervention in
Cuba Is absolutely unfounded

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Hallalujah Aver is quoted by the Ashe-
vile Gazette as saying he "did not be-
Keve in anybody" when asked if he be-
Heyed in Pritchards recent silver de-
ciaratiens.
Ii Hung Changs foreign visitors since
his return to China noticed a marked
change in his manner Of address. He has
lost much of his former brusqueness. The
old gentleman constantly uses a walking
stick of Gen. Grants, presented to him
by Col Fred. Grant, in New York.
William Shaw Bowen says: Antonio
Naceo's body is buried at point known
to certain people who were his friends.
A coffin was provided and taken out
from Havana. At any rate, the body lies
in a spot from whence it may be re-
moved at any time circumstances may
warrant.
Locke Craig, Esq, made a speech in
Asheville Monday night in which he said
that Senator Pritchard having made his
campaign on the st. Louis platform,
would not now flop over to silver even
for the Senatorship. We shall see.
Jeter has Topped whenever necessary

In green glass vases there are several
new shapes, but the favorite is still the
long, narrow-necked carafe vase,

are more suitable, for although the bloom
is very lovely, the stem is by no means

Robbed q Train Crew,

The other night a special freight:
crew OH the Nevada & Minden branch
of the Missouri Pacific was held ND at
Nassau junction, one mile southeast of
Nevada, by four masked men. The.
train was in charge of Conductor R. G..
Trickett. A number of cattle had been.
turned loose on the railroad right of
way. and some of them were fast in a
cattle guard. Parties living near flag
ged the train to avoid an accident.
The train crew was compelled to hand
over their watches and monev. and
during the excitement one of the rob-
bers shot Conductor Trickett in the.
face, but the wound was regarded as
not dangerous. From the language
used by the robbers 1t is thought they.
are railroad men.
