National bank, 624 and 62G Canal street,
closed it's doors this morning, Henry
Maspero, president; James Tarelteton,
cashier. The capital stock of the bank
was only 100000, and its line of depos-
it's very small. It has been regarded as
weak for a long time. The bank is said
to have sufficient security to liquidata
its entire indebtedness. Yesterday ru-

The Grain Crop,

WASHINGTON, Sept 10.-The Septem-
Der report of the statistician of the de-
partment Of agriculture shows decline
in the condition of corn from the August
statement of six points, or from sc per
cent in August to 80 in September.
Averages in the principal corn growing
states are: Kentucky SO, Ohio 1O4,
Michigan 104, Indiana LOG, Illinois 100,
Iowa lob, Missouri 50, Kansas 80, Ne
braska 1O3.
Although there has been falling of
of the condition in some states, particu-
larly in Nebraska and Kansas, the crop
this year promises to be a large one.
Nearly all the central states report q
high condition, though with many local
reports of drought, flooding rains, in
sects, or, along the northern border,
early frosts. Kentucky and Missouri
report considerable injury by dry wealth
or, and this impairment is shown in all
states to the south, increasing toward
the gulf. The later crop has Jared
worse in most states. The Pacific slope
sends favorable reports.
The general condition of wheat, con-
sidering both winter and spring varieties
when harvested, was 74.6, against 1874 in
1895; and 1877 in 1894.
The reported conditions for the princi-.
pal wheat states are as follows: Ohio,
81; Michigan, IS; Indiana, e.; Illinois,
II; Wisconsin, 70; Minnesota, 80, Iowa,
"a; Missouri, IS; Kansas, 70; Nebrasks,
II; South Dakota, 76; North Dakota, 81;
California, 100; Oregon, 80; Washington,
70.

plaints Of both quality and quantity Of
the wheat crop are almost UNIVERSAL tho
causes alleged being winter killing, due
to deficient snow covering; stunted
growth, due to early drought; insect at
tacks, rust and especially heavy raims
following harvest, from which q lssRe
per cent OF the grain eprouted and rottsd
in the shock.

Storm AbAtinR.

BosToN, Sept. 10.-The northeast
storm which swept the New England
coast last night has not passed, although
its force is somewhat less. The wind
comes in heavy gusts. The rain does
not cease, and the observer at the signal
station says it may not clear before night.
Considerable damage has been done
along the water front by the combined
action Of the heavy rain and the un-
usually high tide which prevailed last
evening. Many cellars we're flooded and
wharves and low lying streets we're
swamped. Aside from this, not much
damage was done here. Reports from
northeast cities indicate that consider
able damage has sheen done to shipping,
but news of disasters will probably not
be received for day or two.
From inland points come stories Of
much damage to crops and fruit trees.
The latter suffered most severely on &C.
count of the high wind. The damage in
this respect will be heavy.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 1O.-This aft.
ernoon the democratic convention
effected permanent organization. w.
b. Given and George B. Wilson of Ian
caster were unseated, because their
sympathies were not with the Chicago
platform and ticket. Silver men were
seated in their places. Chairman Ritter
of the resolutions committee read the
platform, and when the name of Bryan
was mentioned scene of enthusiasm
ensued, such as has not been seen in a
Pennsylvania democratic convention in
recent years.
Before the vote was taken on the
adoption Of the platform, Delegate
James of Northampton presented a pro-
test signed by q committee of goldbug
democrats, headed by the state
chairman. Wright. Delegate James
had scarcely started the Introductory
speech before the delegates manifested
their impatience by shouts and cries of
"sit down." Quiet was finally secured,
but the crowd soon hissed and howled
him down. For about five minutes the
uproar lasted. James did not read the
protest, but filed it with the secretary.
Snowden OF Allentown then offered q
resolution to depose William F. Harrity
az national committeeman and author
izing Chairman Jones to fill the vacancy.

PAR1s, Sept 1O.--A violent cyclone
swept over portions of this city at 2:3O
this afternoon. Omnibuses, cabs, and
stalls in the streets were overturned;
trees were blown down; store windows
were broken; bsrges we're sunk in the
river Seine, and the tiremen had to be
called out. Many persons were injured
Oh Rue Turbigo, Place De La Repub-
li4ue, Place st. Sulpice and the Boule-
ward st. Martin.
Paris is much stirred up and excited
over the cyclone Of today, which develops
into disaster OF considerable proper
tions. The number of minor casualties
and injuries to persons is large, and
further reports are constantly being re-
ceived, Over so injured thus far have
been reported to one fire station alone,
and five dead were brought in. Several
men and women had their skulls frac-
tured by the falling Of some gates be-
hind which they had sought shelter
from the storm. A cab driver, who had
taken refuge in his cab, and his horses
were killed together, and the cab de-
molished.
Nine members of the staff of La
France, who we're leaving the tribunal
de commerce when the storm suddenly
broke, were all seriously injured, one
having his skull fractured. At least a
dozen persons were carried bodily into
the Seine from bridges and wharves and
four were rescued with great difficulty,
several being injured and left in criti-
cal condition, so that they had to be
taken to the hospitals. The breaking Of
the storm was accompanied by many
demonstrations of fright by individuals
and by crowds. The lowering sky and
bowling tempest, filling the air with fly
ing debris, frightened the crowds
in the streets out Of self-control.

CONVENTION HALL, HELENA, sept. "
The republican state convention which
met here today was largely attended
and was at times the scene of great ex-
citement. The convention was called to
order at noon by Senator Mantle, chair
man Of the state committee, who spoke
at length, outlining his and Hartman'a
position upon the Dingley bill. His
speech was greeted with considerable
applause and occasionally Kisses. II is
considered an emphatic reply to Senator
Carter's letter and won many friends for
the Butte senator among the Mckinley
contingent.
The silver men won the first victory in
the convention. After about two and a
half hours debate and considerable
wrangling over parliamentary rules, the
matter came up in the form of vote to
table motion of Col. Sanders. The lat
ter, in an impassioned speech, had de-
manded that the regular" delegates
from Silver Bow and Carbon, both of
which have contesting delegations, be
allowed to participate in the temporary
organization. The state committee had
decided that those delegations should
not take part in the preliminary organ
ization. A. j. Seligmsn had been nomi-
mated for temporary chairman by Hart
man, Senator Goddard had moved to
substitute the name Of Judge e. Sire
velle. This led to parliamentary dis
cuseion, during the course OF which
Sanders made the motion stated. It
called forth q motion to table and was
the first test vote of the day. Sanders
was defeated by 1s1 to 121, Carbon and
Silver Bow not voting. Cascade voted 16
yea and nay. Seligman was then
elected chairman, receiving 1T votes to
l28 for Strevelle,
On chairman Cascade voted Seligman,
13; Strevelle, II. John r. Eardley of
Deer Lodge was elected secretary, w. s.
Frary assistant secretary. The commit
tee on credentials was selected and an
adjournment taken till 4 p. m. At 4
the committee was not able to report, 80
the convention again adjourned until
8 pm m.
At the night session, the credentials
committee presented two reports. A
majority of - favored seating the anti
Mantle delegates OF Silver Bow. Judge
Tallant, the Cascade member of the cre-
dentiala committee. presented minority
report, favoring the seating of the Man
tie delegation. The reading of both re.
ports was greeted with cheers and Kisses.
"A debate ensued upon the report of the
minority and majority Of the credentials
committee and resulted in the adoption
Of the former by vote of l5G to 154,
thereby seating the Mantle delegation,
Great applause greeted the Silver Bow
delegates as they entered, Mantle in the
lead, and took their seats. The roll was
then called and each county named its
member of the resolution and permanent
organization. Committeeman Of Cas-
cade, Frank Klepetko on resolutions,
