MILLS SHUT DOWN.
Anchor Ice Plays Havoc with
The Water Wheels Of the
West Side Mills.

The large manufacturing plants OF
the Hennepin Paper company and
the Interstate Milling company
are all idle today by reason Of the
damage done by the anchor ice in
the water power canal.
Tuesday morning the screens OF
both the fumes OF the lnterstate
mills were torn away by the great
pressure Of the ice against them.
The canal gates were shut down
yesterday and after the water had
all run out Of the canal new and
more substantial screens were put
In. The work was completed and
the flour mills resumed work at $50
last evening. Every thing worked
smoothly until S O'Clock this MORN
Ing when the screen and part Of the
frame which holds it, ut the Henne-
pin paper mill gave suddenly, COM
polling another shut down of the
canal gates. .E..-
This is the first time that the
mills of this place have been bothered
with anchor ice, and there seems to
benz remedy for it, hut to wait
until the river freezes over and the
slush ice stops running.
The mills at Minneapolis have in
past years experienced great diff
Guilty each fall 10y the slush ice get
ting through the screens and
choking the water wheels.
The mill owners are very anxious
to see the river freeze over and stop
the slush ice, as both concerns have
a large number of orders on hanh to
fill. and especially the flour mill
company. which has large orders to
fill before navigation closes.
The Electric 4 Water company is
also having trouble with it's water
wheel. Its screen is in no danger,
but the soft ice, crea ted by the snow
that has fallen during the last few
days, has run through the screen
and chOked the water wheel,
seriously affecting the power. The
Pine Tree cOmpany's pumps are
doing the work today. The water
wheel is in such condition that it
cannot he shut down until it clears
itself of the ice.
! The existing condition of the
industries run by. water power Ia
bad. and as cold weather is about
the only remedy for it, everyone is
anxious to see it come.

structed for Mckinley for President"
The platform asks the restoration or a
protective tariff with reciprocity as a nee
essary supplement and says. I'VE are
united in favor of the nomination Of
William Mckinley Of Ohio by the republi-
can party for the Office of President of
the United States, and hereby instruct
the delegates selected at this convention
to use all honorable means to secure his
nomination so long as his name is before
the national convention.
I'VE are unyielding and uncompromislng
in our demand for sound money. We are
in favor of the use Of gold, silver and
paper dollars in our currency, all main
tanned at parity as to purchasing and
debt paying power.
we are opposed to any proposition that
involves the depreciation Of any portion
of our currency, and, therefore, are op-
posed to the free and unlimited coinage of
silver by this country alone, under present
conditions, believing that such coinage
would destroy the parity and depreciate
and contract the currency"
The resolutions also express sympathy
with the people Of Cuba in their struggle
for liberty.

DEMOCRATS OF NEW JERSEY.
The state Convention Declares For
sound Money.


Trenton, n. j., May THE democratic
state convention met at noon to-day. Ex-
Speaker James J. Bergen of Somerset
county was temporary chairman. The
preliminary routine was quickly dispatch
ed and the convention at 12;45 o'clock TOOK
a recess until o'clock to allow the COM
mittees to act.
The convention was again called to or
der at 2:2O o'clock. John W. Queen of
Hudson county was made permanent
chairman.
The platform was read and adopted
unanimously. 1t says: I'VE are in favor
of firm, unwaveriug maintenance of the
present gold standard. We are opposed
to the free coinage of silver at any ratio
and to the compulsory purchase of silver
bullion by the government.
1--WE believe that the interests of the
people demand that the earnings of trade,
agriculture, manufacture and commerce,
especially the wages of labor, should be
paid in money of the greatest intrinsic
value of the highest standard adopted
by the civilized nations of the world. We
are, therefore, unalterably opposed to all
devices and schemes for the debasement
of our currency.
we believe that the federal government
should be divorced from the business or
banking; we, therefore, demand the re-
%
reissue of legal tender or treasury notes
by the government; they should form no
part of the currency of the people We
are opposed to any effort to alter mate
rally the present just and conservative
tariff
I'VE favor liberal expenditures to estab-
nsh and maintain adequate coast defenses
and navy strong enough to defend our
rights and enforce our just demands at
home and abroad.
we commend the wise and conservative
administration President
Cleveland. His serVies on behalf of sound
finance and stable currency entitle him
to the gratitude of the people
I'VE also endorse his courageous and
patriotic stand in resisting the attempt
ed encroachmenu of Great Britain upon
the territory of free American state and
pledge our allegiance to the fundamental
doctrine originated by Thomas Jefferson
and reafiirmed by James Monroe, that the
United States will permit no further ac-
QUESTION of territory on this hemisphere
I'VE sympathize with the patriots Of
Cuba in their struggle for freedom and
look for recognition of them by our gov
ernment at such time as best shall aid
the cause of freedom without unnecessa-
r1ly seVerinS our peaceful relations with
a friendly foreign power"
The first ballot resulted in the election
of James Smith, Allan L. McDermott, Ru-
fus Blodgett and Albert r. Tallman as
delegates to Chicago.
The state committee was authorized
to elect alternate delegates If necessary,
the convention declining the usual alter
mates.
AT 3:55 o'clock the convention adjourned

MANY A SLIP 'TwIxT cur AND LIP.
Quay Not Ready 10 Admit That Me-
T<inIey Has Won.

Washington, May 7-Senator Quay does
not dispair of seeing Mckinley defeated
for the nomination. To-day, when many
of the anti+McKinley men throw up the
sponge at the announcement that Indiana
had instructed for Mckinley 'thefavorite
son OF Pennsylvania" calmly remarked
that the result IS still in doubt with the
probability that Mckinley viii not receive
the nomination. The senator was asked
TO state his reasons for so believing HIe
replied that IL the figures of Gen. Gros-
Venor are accepted there is practically
no use in holding convention, but as a
matter of fact his figures are Incorrect
Besides, many of the delegates are vet
to be elected, although Gen Grosvenor
proceeds to figure out a majority of the
whole number Of the delegates In the con-
Venton.
Senator Quay insists that the recent
statement given out by Gen. Clarkson
showing the strength OF the Mckinley
forces and anti-McISinley contingent Is
approximately correct. He says that
statement was prepared with the greatest
care and in the most liberal and falrmind-
ed spirit so that II can be relied upon. Ao-
cording to that Mckinley forces will have
10 capture every delegate yet to be elected
In order to secure the nomination on the
first ballot, as 1t Is claimed he will do.
The senator is not prepared to divulge
his plans for encompassing the defeat of
McKinley's nomination. but he makes the
prediction with the greatest confidence
that Mckinley Will not be the nominee of
the st. Louis convention.

established here many years, and the as

Mr. Brainerd's liabilities will be about
$500 600, but an accurate statement cannot
be obtained tonight His assets are not

charge of his affairs for some time
The liabilities of Sherman & FlaVin are

that amount. 1t is expected that an the
creditors will be paid dollar for dollar
Mr. Brainerd has been i'll at the Audito-
