ON A DANGEROUS sHoAL.
The Lighthouse Board Tries an Ex-
pertinent in Virginia Waters.


Washington, Sept. 2S-Capt. August F.
Bloom has left Washington for Norfolk,
Va, where he will take charge, as mas
ter, of the Diamond sholl light ship No.
SO, on her arrival to-day or tomorrow
from New York. Ii is expected that the
snip will be on her station by the Goth
instant. She VIII be anchored in thirty
fathoms of water, five and a half nautical
miles from the easterly point of the outer
Diamond shoal. Beside the master and
the mate, the vessel will have a crew of
eleven men.
This point is regarded by navigators as
one of the most dangerous on the At
lantic coast, and, owing to the shifting
sand bottom, doubts have been expressed
of the ability of any anchor TO hold a yes
sci in place during a gale. Commander
George F. f. Wilde, the naval secretary
of the lighthouse board, who designed the
vessel, has taken every precaution against
failure. He has provided a mushroom
anchor weighing 5000 pounds, attached TO
1,0S0 feet of chain, the whole weighing
seventy-twO tons. The vessel is partly
relieved of this great weight by wrought
steel mooring buoy of over 1000 cubic feet
measurement 1t is expected that the an
Choir, in a short time, will have sunk in
the sand to a considerable depth, and so
form a perfectly stable anchorage.
News of the performance of the yes
sci during the first heavy gale will be
awaited with interest

DISORDERLY DEMOCRATS.

Old Party Leaders Turned Down.

Nominations Made In Massachusetts.
Old Party Leaders Turned Down.
Worcester, Mass, Sept 28.-George Fred
Williams of Dedham was to-day nominaL-
ed for governor of Massachusetts by the
democratic state convention on a plat
form that squarely indorses that adopted
by the national convention at Chicago last
summer.
The other nominees are: Lieutenant
governor, Christopher T. Callahan of Hol-
yoke; secretary, c. D. Nash of Whitman;
attorney general, John A. O'Keefe of
Lynn; treasurer and receiver general, T.
A. Watson Of Boston; auditor, j. L. Chal-
foux of Lowell.
The convention was so disorderly at
times at almost to require the interven-
ton of the police. George Fred Williams
was the principal figure in the convention.
There was no opposition to his nomina.
ton for governor, but his insistence on
the turning down of old party leaders,
who were lukewarm in support of himself
and Bryan last fall. created a tumult at
the outset before permanent organization
had been effected.
Williams wanted men of his personal
choice selected as members of the state
committee at large. The present mem
bers of that organization resented the
suggestion that they had given cause for
suspension, but Mr.. Williams made a per-
sonal demand for his men, and over this
the contest waged fiercely. Mr.. Williams
was successful

THE CROPS OF THE COUNTRY.

cring But Growing Crops Suffer.
Washington, Sept. 2S.-The weekly crop
bulletin of the agricultural department
says to-day: Except on the Atlantic coast
where rains have fallen. the week has
been exceptionally dry. and upon the
whole very favorable for maturing and
gathering crops. Like the preceding
weeks, however. it has been very unfa-
vorable for termination of soWn grain.
as well as for following and seeding,
which is delayed generally throughout the
central and western ard in some of the
southern states. In Nebraska, however. a
large acreage of wheat has been sown,
much of which is up and doing nicely. In
the Atlantic coast states the conditions
have been more favorable for fall seed
ing, and satisfactory progress has been
made.
The frosts of the early part of the week
proved injurious to late corn in portions
OF Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and
New York, but farther west no serious
injury is reported, and in some states
cutting is nearing completion.
Cotton picking has been pushed forward
rapidly in all section of the cotton belt,
although interrupted somewhat in the
Carolinas, Eastern Georgia and Florida
by heavy rains. The crop has suffered
further deterioration in Arkansas and
portion of Mississippi and Louisiana, and
damage from rains has resulted in the
Carolinas and Florida As stated in the
bulletin of the previous week, the bulk
of the crop will be gathered by Oct 10
In Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio and Vir-

SPAIN WILL STAND ALONE.
Neither Germany Nor Austria Would
Oppose the United States.

London, Sept. 29-The Berlin CORE
spondent of the Daily News says:
"The statement that the German and
Austrian emperors have decided to inter-
vene between the United States and Spain
is utterly unfounded. Public opinion here
favors Spain, but there is no question Of
the German cabinet making itself a cat'sS
paw for Spain, while Austrian diplomacy
will not allow its foreign policy to be in
fiuenced by certain dynastic interests.
Even apart from that consideration, Aus
tria can do nothing against the United
States
It is pointed out here that France has
by far the greatest financial interest in
Spain, and. as a republic, it could, with
more moral weight, stand up against the
unjust aspirations of another republic.
Should the other powers send a pro-
test to Washington, Germany would not
be likely TO keep aloof but that is all. Her
commercial interests IN the United States
are too great to be staked for Spanish
rule with Cuba"

Cape Sabine by landing party.
Mr.. Knight says that when Cape Sabine
was reached only the scientists of the party
and one or two attendants to do the rough
work were landed. Before going ashore,
each of the party was told to expect to
find some disagreeable things, but to be
prepared to keep silent forever, if neces-

ing, the party was landed and the search
was begun.
When the expedition returned aboard 1t
bore a lot of cast-off clothing, empty pro-
vision cans, surgical instruments, etc. and
a bit of board bearing the name of Will
Norman, the ice pilot of the party, who
died in Brooklyn a few years ago. These
things were placed in the engine room of
the Hope to dry, while Mr.. Peary took
some other things to his cabin. The most
important find, however, was not brought
on board, but was buried near the camp
It consisted of the frozen remains of a
human right thigh that was found in the
snow outside the camp proper near the
place used as a burial ground by the
Greedy party.
This part of the limb was taken from
the body al the hip joint. For about foot
from the hip down, the bone was bare, the

To-day.
There was only one scheduled game In
the National league yesterday. Boston

a game and Washington win all four from
the Senators for the Orioles to land the
