BOSTON, Sept. 26.-UniQue and pic
turesque as have been scores of nota-
bic political contests in this city. none
approached that which last night and
today wrought up the entire communi-
" 10 its widest pitch of excitement,
and never has there been such an
anomalous result as was shown at the
close of the day. when three -conven-
tons held in different sections of the
city. named the same man for the head
of the ticket, and that man George
Frederick Williams for Governor The
fractional fight in the ranks of the hith-
erto united Massachusetts Democracy
can be traced back TO the Chicago con-
yention Of last July, when in the strug-
gle between gold and silver George
Fred Williams and few others boldly
left the majority of the Massachusetts,
delegation and voted for the free and
unlimited coinage OF silver. Since that
time the rift in the lutte" has gradu-
ally become wider, and charges of
traitors" and 'would-be dictators"
have been used freely.
The climax came last evening when
in the big Bryan rally at Music Hall,
Mr.. Williams accused the leaders of
wanting TO control the State conven-
ton, and requested all those who were
in favor of his nomination to stay all
night in their seats so that no move
might be made which would deprive
them OF fulfilling the program which
had been marked out by the silver
leaders. To this request 600 OF his fol-
lowers obeyed TO the letter, and all
night the vigil was kept. Every kind
of ingenuity was tried to make the men
Vaeate the hall. The police were called
upon TO clear the hall, but the young
lawyers in the silver movement were
successful, and as result the doors
were kept locked until $40 this after
noon.
Bright and early today thousands of
men, scores OF whom were delegates
from out of town, assembled around
Music Hall, expecting the doors 10 be
opened at any moment that q COM
promise might ensue. Oyertures were
made by members of the State Cen
trail Committee and they were rejected
by the men in possession of the hall.

locked-in leader of the silver men,
and whatever business was transacted
in the hall was endorsed by the outside
meeting.
The State Committee then went TO
Faneuil Hall, where convention was
held and the National candidate and
the Chicago platform were inGorsed,
and George Fred Williams was nom
mated for Gubernatorial hono-s. This
action was protested against by num-
Der of gold standard Democrats, who
withdrew in body and placed a ticket
favorable TO Palmer aud Buckner in
the field.
In Wesleyan Hall the STATE Conven-
ton Of the Populist party was held,
and Immediately they heari that Will
liams had been nominated as the free
silver candidate for Governor they fol-
lowed suit and placed him at the head

referred TO the Queens prolonged
reign as a triumph of good and settled
government of a free country. He also
eulogized President Cleveland's f1nan-

reason for coming, he said, was his
warm appreciation of the noble words
spoken by Baron Russell of Killowen,
the Lord Chief Justice of England, now

national arbitration, which Mr. Bayard
said he hoped would sink into the con-
sciences of both peoples.

APIA, Samoa, Sept. S.-An applica-

Wellman. Neylan and Hobbs of San

Company, for a further adjournment
of the hearing of the big suit in which
the above parties are involved against
Harris and others of New Zealand,
concerning the large tracts of land
commonly known as the American and
Polynesian Land Company's estates.
The application was refused on the
ground that there was not sufficient
reason given for an adjournment, and
the case will be heard on September IL.
Chief Justice Ide intends TO leave Sa-
moa if possible at the end of the year,
and TO accomplish this the work of the
Supreme Court is being moved on as
rapidly as possible. The rehearings of
the decisions of the Land Commission
will be shortly concluded.
President Schmidt is still here, al
though the day is passed when il was
stated he would go. 1t is now nearly
two years since the treaty powers were
petitioned by the Government of Sa-
moa to remove President Schmidt, and
early in the year the Samoans were IL
formed that he would be leaving in
September. But it is now ascertained
that the time of his departure is un-
certain, as the powers have neither ap-
pointed his successor nor decided 70
do away with the Office altogether,
which latter is the desire of foreigners

port of beer has now been entirely
stopped, and Japanese beer is exported
to Singapore, Bombay and other places.
The sale can be extended more and
more, but in spite of the excellent out
look the supply is quite insufficient to
meet the increasing demand. Our
"Ebisu Beer" for instance, cannot meet
the large orders from customers both
at home and abroad. and ii is regret
able fact that We disappoint our pa
troniZers at this season when beer is
most wanted. Many regard beer brew
ing as an uncertain trade which does
not benefit the country in any way.
Such belief arises from the ignorance
or the trade. Besides supplying ne
cessary beverage, few trades have been
so effective as beer brewing in check
ing imports and expanding exports.
Can such a trade be called benefitless
in these days of keen commercial COM
petition? At present. only four sorts
of beer including Ebisu, Kirin, Asahi
and Saporo, are brewed in the proper
way in this country. Adding TO these
various other sorts of more or less
crude nature. the total output of beer
is less than $4,000 'koku" per annum.
Comparing this with 100000 ''koku"
of sake" it is only $50 in quantity.
Estimated according to the quantity of
alcohol contained in each of the two
beverages, beer, which contains only
Ais of the alcohol contained in sake. !"
cannot exceed 1900 of sake" in pro-
duction. AS sake" which is only con-
sumed at home can be profitably brew
ed in so large a quantity, beer which
is consumed in all countries of the
world ought to find good sales if brew
ed ten or twenty times as much as at
present. The establishment of new
/ beer breweries being under contempla-
| ton in Tokyo and various other places,
/ some allege that the existing breweries
will in the future suffer considerably.
But there is really no ground for such
/ fears. One of two new breweries can
not in the least affect the profit of the
older breweries, seeing the large de-
mand for beer, and the trade is far
from being uncertain. The profit OF
| the trade being so large and certain
even at present, when all the malt is
( imported from distant countries, it is
not difficult for any one to see how
much more profit it will yield if good
malt can be made of Japanese barley
Our Company recently opened malt
I factory and tried Matchmaking with a
Garland machine of the latest inven-
| ton, and also tried the cultivation OF
German barley. 1t is owing to the
result of our careful investigations, af-
ter having ascertained the results OF
our trials, that we now send Mr.. Uyeno
to Germany to study the art of malt
making there. If this be simply for
Mr.. Uyeno's private study, l have not
much to say. But the object of his
study having an important bearing on
the trade of the country, must request
! his special attention to the matter.
