was agreed upon by vote of 40 to IL,
that they had reached the parting OF
the ways, and that nothing renamed Tor
them but to withdraw from the conyen-
ton. 1t was thought that there would
be violent determinations and wild words
of Pronunciation when the final announce
ment Of the break came, but instead, 1t
was the parting of old friends in sorrow,
not anger. The silver men felt them
selves swept on by an irresistible tate,
and with protestations of regret they
cast the die.
Speeches were made by Senator Teller,
who joined the Republican party at its
inception and who was an ardent sup,
porter Of Lincoln and who, for twenty
years. has represented his state IN the
Senate of the United States as Repub-
lican. save for two years in the cabinet
of President Arthur; Senator Dubois,
the Young senator from Idaho; Senator
Cannon of Utah, Representative Hart
man of Montana, Lennon OF California,
Mott of North Carolina. The scene was
a most affecting one. the gold men III the
committee were filled with compassion,
and there was not a dry eye in the room
when Senator Teller spoke. Senator
Dubois, Senator Cannon and Delegate
Mott broke down completely and Wept
like children. Senator Lodge, who re-
Piled spoke words of tender sympathy
as if the occasion was some great per-
sonal bereavement. He eulogized Sena-
tor Teller and his colleagues. but de.
clared firmly that the. representatives OF
the party could not falter on that ac-
count on the money question.

out in all its essential details last night

say, whose services in the cause of
the party have been long and faithful,
and they will be given ample time to
make their final protest before they take
their departure from the party with
which they have SO long been identified.

DELEGATE DREW A KNIFE.
Row in the Missouri Caucus that
Threatened to be a
Bloody One.

st. Louis, Mo-, June 15.-The bad
blood between the Filley and Kerens
factions in the Missouri delegation de-
veloped bloody turn after the delega-
ton had been in session an hour and
half in room 218 at the Southern today.
Mayor p. d. Hastain of Sedalia, drew
knife on delegate Berry in the secret
session but was seized and prevented
from making personal attack.
The Kerens faction had been outvot-
ing the Filley people on several issues
raised. After test vote on proposition
to postpone the selection of national
committeeman until the contest from
Missouri had been passed upon, Hastain
made a sighting remark regarding Mis-
souri's "Old Man."
Berry was on his feet instantly and
made sharp personal attack on Has
tain The latter, pale as death, at the
words flung at him by Berry drew from
his pocket a knife, which warned the
other committeeman that it was time for
them to act They pushed in between
the angry factionists, separated them and
and the fight was for the present at an

SWEPT BY A WAVE.
Terrible Result OF a Subterranean.
Earthquake on the Island
of YeSSo.

Copyright, 1885, by the Associated Press),
Yokohama, June 11.--News of Il terri
BILE disaster, involving the loss of over
a thousand lives has reached here from
the island of Yesso. which contains the
Northern provinces of, Japan, including
Shirebeshe, Oshima, Furi, Hitaha, To-
kachi, Isuikari, Kirshiro, Kilami and
Nemoro. All these sections of the ISL
and seem to have been more or less
shaken. The subterraneous disturbance
lasted about twenty hours and during
that period the utmost terror prevailed.
The ground rumblings are described as.
resembling the roaring of distant cannon.
Shock followed shock in almost uninter-
rupted succession about every minutes.
In all it is estimated there were
$50 shocks of more or less force.
1t is impossible to obtain, for the
present, accurate details of the dis
aster as communication between the
mainland of Japan Qsland of Hon
do) and Yesso, from which the for
mer is separated by the strait of Tsugura
(Sangar), is said to be interrupted, or
more likely, in the hands of the authori-
ties. The whole town of Kumachi. how
ever, is reported to have been destroyed

were accompanied by tidal wave and
it is believed that it was this onrush of
a giant wave from the sea which prac-
tically wiped out the town of Kumachi,
which is situated towards the Japan sea
on narrow neck of land separating it
from Volcano bay on the Pacific side Of
the island
The island of Yesso has in the past
had several similar visitations and con-
tains a number of active and extinct
volcanoes.
Rumor has it that the number of lives
lost and the amount of damage done is;
far i'll excess of the figures contained
in the brief official dispatch.
A full official report of this great ca
lamity has been asked for and is ex-
pected shortly. 1t is feared that disas-
tiers to shipping must also have resultedi
from the tidal wave.

and serenely, beneath sky across whose
arched dome not q cloud hoated, the

Puget Sound, met in council, today, and,
