{ Seems in the View of the Buckeye
State Republicans.
Toledo, June 24.-The Republican state
convention completed its work yesterday
In session of less than four hours. While
there had been hard fight for two days
for the control Of the state central COM
mittee there was every appearance Of
harmony and enthusiasm yesterday. The
two contested districts were decided in
favor OF the Dick candidates, and this
showed that the state committee stood
seventeen fer Dick and four for Kurtz.
Hanna was not only congratulated on
the result. but all the delegates were
seeking admittanoe to his apartments
for coHferepce. Bushnell not only ac-
cepted the situation complacently before
the convention assembled. by having
friendly consultations with Hanna, but
he also made strong speech of accept.
ance in the convention. When Governor
Bushnell declared: I'm spite Of the state
ments Of the Democratic press, I ac-
cept." there was loud demonstration.
Following is the ticket nominated:
Governor, Asa S. Bushnell; lieutenant
governor. A. w. Jones; supreme Judge,
Jacob F. Burkett; attorney general,
. ohfA <hShAiOlts otdtc treasurer,
Campbell; school commissioner, L. D.
Bonebrake; member Of board Of public
works. c. A. Goddard. The platform Is
a standard Republican declarations; IA
vors protective tariff; sympathizes with
the Cuban rebels; approves Of the an
nexation Of Hawaii; favors a national
board Of arbitration for labor and has
this on the civil service: I'VE denounce
the violation Of the spirit of the civil SER
vice act by President Cleveland in those
orders which extended its operation be-
yond its purpose and intent, and demand
such revocation of orders or modifica-
tion Of the law as will accomplish its
manifest purpose" Foraker and Hanna
are iHdorsed.
In the organization Of the state CEN
trail committee in the afternoon Bushnell
named the vice chairman while Hanna
selected the chairman and the secretary.
Hanna returned to Cleveland in the aft
ernoon and will soon be back in Wash
ington. The two leaders had a friendly
meeting before separating, and 1t is un-
deretood that they have reached an
agreement on the organization Of the
state executive committee. The feature
Of the convention was the speech of Han
na. Bushnell, Lieutenant Governor
Jones. General Grosvenor and others
who spoke, had been frequently heard,
but Hanna was not known before in his
own state as an orator, although he had
for years been recognized as q leader
In management and organization. His
delivery was eloquent and forcible and
he captured the convention by his COM
manding oratory.

lighter crew of Harvard freshmen fought
them every inch of the way and finished
a trifie over two legnths behind them,
in 9:26e. and the Cornell freshmen,
whose cellege record is that none of its
freshmen crews has ever been beaten
before, finished n length behind Har-
ward. In 9:29la. The best previous record
for two miles was 9:41, made by the
Columbia freshmen crew of '94 at New

Stewart thought these criticisms Of
Bryan were most unfair. For" said
the senator, IAN examination Of McKin-
ley's record would show him to have
voted for the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver" Stewart stated that during
the consideration Of the Bland-Allison
act Mckinley had voted at every stage
with the most radical silcermen." Even
as .ate as 1890 Mckinley had made a
speech at Toledo denouncing Cleveland
for discriminating between the two
metals. Stewart caused a laugh as he
closed. by saying very earnestly that II
was no use criticising Bryan, as he's
going to be the next president.
Teller had ego" at the statements
concerning Bryan. The latter's vote for
free wool. said Teller. would not Justify
the assertion of the Massachusetts SEN
ator that Bryan would veto q tariff
bill, as he might approve II as q rev.

Teller. he wanted this bill passed. He
did not believe 1t would bring the re-
lief expected. He was here to see that
a decent bill was enacted. He was not
here to delay, for il there was any relief
1t should come quickly.
Quay made q strong effort to have the
house ad valoTem rates on third class
wool adopted, but ne was defeated-19

agreed to. viz: cents per pound on
third class wool valued at 10 cents or
less per pound. and cents per pound
on third class wool valued above 10 cents

up to paragraph 364. relating to cloths,

PROFESSOR BArEMAN's STATEMENT
H Comes Up In the Senate as a Question Of
Personal Privilege


Personal Privilege.
Washington, June A-Allen of Ne
braska arose in the senate yesterday to
question Of personal privilege in con-
nection with the conduct of the last
campaign. There was much interest in
the statement, as Allen was chairman Of
the Populist national convention. Allen
read q published peess dispatch from
Asw4stQn. Ma, giving the Professor
SasenAn chaSgea. already In the dis
patches, and made . sweeping denial of
the charges. He said that BRYAN had
determined tc divide the royalties on
his book. and IN doing so he allotted
N,Soo to the Populist party. The draft
was sent to Allen. but the chairman
Of the Populist national committee (But-
Ter of North Caroiina) declined to ac-
cept 1t. Thereupon. at the suggestion
OF Bryan. Allen invested the amount. TO
be used in the interest OF bimetallism.
Allen declared that the statement that
any agreement existed as to fusion, in
connection with the gift was "an abso-
lutte and unqualified falsehood." Butler
stated briefly that the offer was made
to him. but he felt impelled to decline
1t. He approved Mr.. Bryan's motive,
open to misconstruction
Lewiston, Me. June 24.-Relatiye 70
the statements Of William ]. Bryan and
Senator Allen in denial OF his charges.
Professor Bateman said: Mr.. Bryan
says that he took my name from the
newspapers and added 1t to Aliens let

rich. and a unique method OF writing
history. 1t would have cost him only
2-cent stamp to have found out that
1 did not sign the letter and that I
had promptly repudiated the sentiments
whichit tcontained. Theforgery of name TO

London, Nov. 29.-The gale which
swept down the English coast yester,
day, doing great damage at Holyhead
and other places. ragged all night long
and had not abated in fury this morn
ing, when il amounted almost to a cy-
clone in many places and was accom-
panied by now and hail.
A long list of fatalities, wrecks and
damag to property has already been re-
ceived. All the coast towns have suf-
fered and a score of the bodies have
been washed ashore. Falling walls and
flying debris have added to the loss of
life.
Vessels are reported on shore on
every part of the coast and many ships
are known to have %foundered, with
the probable loss of all hands. There
is much wreckage about the Goodwin
sands.
At the lowest parts Of Yarmouth and
elsewhere the sea had flooded the quays
and neighborhoods, washing away the
esplanades and doing other serious
damage.
The sea wall at Scarborough was
washed away and the passenger and
mail service across the channel has
been mostly suspended.
The British ship Larnica, Captain
Burgess, from St. John, N. B., on No
vember l, for Observation-Disclosures
was driven ashore there by the force
of the gale. Her position is dangerous,
but all the members Of her crew were
saved.
According to the latest advices. the
storm is traversing various parts Of the

ST. PAUL'S WATER SUPPLY.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 29.-In the
United States srpreme court an opin-
ion was rendered today in the case OF
the st. Anthony Water company, VS..
right Of that city TO utilize the water
of the Mississippi river for domestic
lidity of the act Of the Minnesota leg
purposes. Action was instituted by the
Water Power company to test the va
islature authorizing the city to divert
a portion of the water for its purposes,
in the face Of the company's charter,
which gives it all privileges appertain,
ing to riparian rights. Justice Peck
ham said the extent of the riparian
rights of the company was a matter of
local law and the states Jurisdiction is
exclusive 1t was also alleged in be-
half of the St. Anthony company that
its contract was involved, but Justice
Peckham said that when the state en-
tered into a contract with that COM
pany an agreement was made subject
implicitly to the diversion of the water
by municipal corporations and others
for domestic purposes. The case came
into this court from the supreme court
of Minnesota, and the decision of that
court was upheld.
