ar. Platt dodged along the lime of the

roar. Platt lodged along the line of the
New York delegation jotting down figures
on slip of paper. The leaders from the
Southern States wrestled with the negro
delegates. In Missouri corner Major
Warner and Chauncey /. Filley glared at
each other. The galleries sent down a
confused sound of eager voices, and then,
as the chairman's gavel fell, the hall be-
came as quiet as il every man and woman
of the 1000 people had ceased breathing,
and the roll call proceeded. When the
roll call of gtates was completed there
was n minute Of anxiety while the clerks
footed up the totals. When Chairman
Thurston announced the result, 56S1a for
ordering the previous question and 339h
against it, the McKinleyites howled them
selves hoarse. The report Of the COM
mittee was declared adopted, and the con-
vention adjourned, with the crowd still
cheering and laughing, after a day of
burning interest.

Closing Scenes of the Convention.
The Republican national convention
liam Mckinley, of Ohio, was nominated
for President and Garret A. Hobart, of
New Jersey, for Vice-President on a plat
form that declares for a protective tariff
and the single gold standard. The total
vote cast for Mckinley was 6611A. Reed
received S4R, Quay coz, Morton SO, Alli-
son 351a and Cameron /. No sooner had
the chairman announced the result than
Senator Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts
moved to make the nomination unani-
nous. Among the first to second this
were Gen. Hastings of Pennsylvania and
Thomas Platt of New York. Gen. Hen
derson of Iowa followed. Amid storm
of howls, footing of fish horns, waving OF
banners and the playing Of the band the
motion was put and carried. The pande-
monium was so great that the chairman
could not be heard.
When Senator Foraker, as chairman of
the Ohio delegation, arose and cast 46
votes for the Buckeye man, the ballot
stood 467h for Mckinley. Instantly the
convention burst into a storm of enthu-
siasm. The roll call was continued, but it
was only n matter of form. There was a
moment of suspense until the vote had
been announced, and then the vast assem-
blage burst into cheers and shouts of the
widest enthusiasm.
The first ballot was completed at 5:4O,
and it was q o'clock before the chairman
was able to gain order and to recognize
Senator Lodge, who moved that the NOM
ination of Mckinley be made unanimous.
This served to bring forth another up
roarous outburst.
After McKinley's nomination had been
made unanimous and the chair had so de-
clared, the convention proceeded to name
a candidate for Vice-President. The
names of e. A. Hobart of New Jersey, II.
Clay Evans of. Tennessee, Lippitt Of
Rhode Island, Walker of Virginia and
Bulkeley OF Connecticut were placed in
nomination. The nomination of Hobart,
like that OF Mckinley, was decided on
the first ballot, and afterward made unan-
imous.
The third days session Of the Republi-
can national convention was called to
order by Chairman Thurston at 1890
o'clock Thursday forenoon. Five thou
sand people stood outside the convention
hall clamoring for admission and quarrel
ing with doorkeepers. Inside the hall
there was restless activity among the
delegates and visitors and an eager desire
to see the wheels move.
Chairman Thurston without any pre-
lminaries plunged into business by an
nouncing that the first thing on the pro-
gram was the report Of the committee on
Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1896-06-25

had their center in the Colorado section.
There were more cheers for Senator Du-
bois Of Idaho, the young silver leader;
for Gen. Lew Wallace, the author-polti-
clan and friend Of ex-President Harrison;
for Henry Cabot Lodge, whose name
brought a fiutter of flags which the Bay
State men had tied to their canes, and
for Merriam Of Minnesota. When New
York was reached John Raines was COM
plimented and Edward Lauterbach got
q volley. Gen. Grosvenor's name was ap-
plauded, and Foraker received quick
burst of sharp cheering.
At 1 80 Grosvenor moved that the con-
vention adjourn until Wednesday morn
ing at 10. The motion was carried, and
there was a confused rush for the en-
frances
Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1896-06-25

of the committee on credentials, announc-
ing that the committee would be unable to
report until afternoon. Thereupon Gov.
Bushnell OF Ohio moved that the conven-
ton take recess until . o'clock. The
motion was carried with a roar, and at
11:23 Chairman Thurston declared the
convention in recess.

THE SEAL FISHERIES.
Behring Sea Treaty with England
Made Public.

"huo
Washington, June 10. President
Cleveland and the queen of Great
Britain will officially proclaim within
a few days the Behring sea convention,
which their respective governments
have entered into. The senate made
public the text OF the treaty which pro-
vides for the appointment of joint
commission to ascertain the amount of
damages by the owners of British seal
ing vessels seized in Behring sea by
United States revenue cutters before
they had authority to do so under the
terms of the modus vivendi or the ap-
proved decision of the Paris arbitration
tribunal.
No definite selection has yet been
made so far as learned, of the United
States representative on the commits
sion. 1t is thought Professor D. F.
Dal, an expert in seal life, who is con-
nected with the naval museum here,
has about the best chance of securing
the place. 1t is not believed that Great
Britain will DO far behind the presi-
dent in making its selection, as it is
the desire of both governments to have
the matter settled as soon as possible.
The long preamble of the convention
recites the facts of the treaty of 1899,
and the failure of the tribunal of arbi-
tration provided by it to amicably set.
tie all matters in dispute and specify
the additional British sealing vessels
which have claims against the United
States.
The convention proper provides that
all claims arising under the treaty of
1899, and the award and findings of
the tribunal of arbitration, shall be re.
ferred to the commissioners, one ap-
pointed by Great Britain and the other
by the United States. The commits
sioners are to meet at Victoria, B. G.
If either so requests, they shall also sit
in San Francisco. Decisions reached
by the commissioners in each claim
shall be accepted by the two govern.
ments as final. They are given full
authority to examine under oath every
question of fact not found by the tri.
bunal of arbitration, and shall have
power to procure or enforce testimony,
as may hereafter be provided by legis.
lation. If in any case the commissions
ers fail to agree, the differences shall
be referred for final adjustment to
an umpire, to be appointed by the two
governments jointly, or in case of a
disagreement, to be nominated by the
president of the Swiss confederation.
The amount awarded to Great Britain
under the convention is to be paid by
the United States within six months
after the award is made.

Brigham City, Utah. June 9.-Early
this morning big reservoir in Three.
Mile canyon, south of Hyrum City,
burst its banks, and solid wall of wa
ter sixteen feet hi2h rushed down the
canyon into the valley, carrying de-
struction before it for distance of
thirty miles. Boulders weighing tons
were carried along like feathers, and
deposited in the fields of farmers, who
today find thier fertile acres covered
from one to four feet deep with sand,
trees and boulders. The entire valley
presents a desolate appearance.

governments on behalf of Volney A.
Ashford, exiled for completely in the
rebellion fifteen months ago. The de.
mand, in plain language, says that

mission to land, must be allowed to do
so. His demands were refused and he
appealed to the British government.

come here. In close official circles it

will be firm in the matter, aud will
probably appeal to the United States

GOLD FIELDS OF ALASKA.
Returned Prospector Brings a Dis
couraging Report.

"A Returned Prospector Brings Dis
couraging Report
4 Oakland, CAL, June 9.-Dr. R. X.
Dunn, of this city, has returned from
the Alaskan gold fields with anything
but a hattering report of the outlook
for the hundreds of prospectors scatter
ed through the snowy wastes of that
territory. DR.. Dunn declares that the
truth has not been told concerning the
gold fields. He left Oakland in Febru-
ary last with the Walker-P Pennock
expedition. He has returned very
much disgusted and satisfied that gold
mining in Alaska Is an elusive dream.
There are probably not less than
loo men scattered about Ressurrec-
tion and Six-Mile creeks" said the
doctor, and claims have been taken
up everywhere. Why, some of them
are staked out on 50-foot snowbanks
and no one knows what is beneath
them. Mining and prospecting is i'm
possible, and it will be six weeks yet
before the snow will have left the
ground. So far as the outlook for gold
is concerned, it is difficult to tell A
prospector can find color anywhere
along the creeks, but it is very hard, in
most cases impossible, to save the gold.
The experiments with gold machines
have proved failures.
The mining country is located along
the creeks. Both Resurrection and
Six. Mile creeks have many tributaries
and upon these prospectors have locat-
cd. The outlook is decidedly bad. At
Coal bay there are about twenty-five
men, and they are waiting the melting
OF the snow to 90 to work. Some
color has already been found there, but
the next point is to save the gold"
Dr. Dunn stated the health Of those
at the location he visited was good. The
general situation was very discouragihg
ne believes, because of the hundreds al
the gold fields who were idle and un.
able to accomplish anything because Of
the snow. Under his calculation, the
season for actual work on claims will
not be longer than four months.
