for chinaware and the desire

decided to sell china to our

When the convention reassembled,
Chairman Woodruff called for commit
tee reports and the committee on con-
tested seats reported in favor of divid-
ing the vote in the First and Second
districts of Brooklyn. A Worth dele
gate moved as an amendment that the
sitting delegates be allowed to retain
their seats Mr.. Woodruff instructed
the secretary not to call the roll of the
contested districts. Jacob Worth de-
nounced the ruling of the chairman.
He spoke of Platt as 1.-The man who
presses the button and all obey the or
ders of the button" At this point the
Platt men yelled "sit down." but
Worth kept on. When the roll call
was finished the vote was announced
as 3O1 to 46 against the Worth motion.
The report of the committee was then
adopted.
The temporary officers were made
permanent Lemuel E. Quigg was
elected president of the city commit
tee. Edward Lauterbach, chairman of
the committee on resolutions, pre-
sented the platform, which was
adopted. The platform begins:
| There is one great issue before the people at
this time 1t is the issue created by the Chica-
go platform and nothing can be more obvious
than that the results of every election-na-
| tional state or municipal-until that platform
has been formally abandoned by the party
that made it, must count for or against its
| odious and destructive principles. Every in
| telligent voter knows that II the first mayor of
| the Greater New York is the candidate of this
convention, mighty impulse will be given in
support of every sound principle OF govern
ment We indorse the ST. Louis platform. We
believe it needs the support of the intelligent
and patriotic people of New York as much to-
day as it did one year ago. 1t is not only the
cause of sound money. 1t is pre-eminently the
| cause of social order. Every vote cast against
the candidates OF this convention places both
in peril

He Is Assisting to Clear the st. johns
River of Hyacinth Blockade.
Prof. H. j. Weber, expert appointed
by the agricultural department last
year to investigate the pest of the
water hyacinths, which are fast block
aiding our rivers, has faith in the de-
structiveness of the red spider which
has been ravaging the leaves of
the plant. To examine more closely
the work of this insect, says the Flor
ida Times-Union, he gathered plants in
Lake Monroe and placed them in ponds
in his own yard. The spider, he says,
is not quite SO large as the head of a
pin, and is new species, according to
Prof. l.. o. Howard, chief of the ento-
mological division of the department
of agriculture, to whom were sent
specimens, The little fellow multi
plies with exceeding great rapidity,
weaves his web from leaf to leaf, raises
his numerous family and attacks the
leaves, devouring them almost cum-
pletely.

Prof Weber, that the red spider will
destroy the hyacinths completely. His
work will be beneficial, and if re-en

was Cabin John" OF course it was
simply his conceit to give the people
a tuller name than John" and they
always afterward referred to him as
"Cabin John" His place was located
near the river, at the mouth of great
gorge with towering hills surrounding
it. There is until this day no better To-
cation on the upper Potomac for fish
ing and hunting. In those days the
man was opulent in all that was needed
for game food. Whether he had II
fortune concealed about his place or
not nobody knew, and nobody ever
tried to dnd out. He always had
money vnen he came to town to buy
supplies He was on good terms with
the Indians, and he did not fear ma
reuders, because he surrounded him
self with dogs, who loved him and
watched his place by night and by day.
Well, whoever he was, he died without
revealing his identity, and he is remem-
bered as "Cabin john" and so he will
live in local history. Time passed on,
and long after he was gone there grew

Modern improvements came with popu-
lation, and it became necessary to build
reservoir and aqueduet to supply the
city with water. More than ten miles
west of Georgetown the civil engineers
went to build reservoir; and the wa

the capture of Tunas, province of San
tiago, by the insurgent forces have
been issued from the palace here.
They say that after the Spanish troops
surrendered the insurgents began
plundering the stores and private resi-
dences and committed many brutal

woman named Nicolasa is said to have
saved her life by throwing her jewelry

Continuing the official reports say:
From then commenced the horrible
mutilation of 90 volunteers and inno-
cent children. Pedro Suarez saw his
three sons cut down with machetes
and afterwards Ramon Rubia saw his
two sons treated in the same manner.
Madame Santa Ana was hanged by
her feet and burned alive. An insur-
gent who had surrendered opened his
veins, and the feet of guide of the
Spanish troop were burned off and the
man was afterwards killed with ma
chetes. The insurgents also tortured
and killed a soldier who was nearly
blind, after killing his young son.

from official circles that there was u
plot against Emperor Nicholas at the

success was only frustrated by acci-
dent. Several weeks before the ar
rival of the czar a number of persons
supposed to belong to the German So

street in Warsaw, between the gov
ernor generals palace and the castle.
AS the tunnel, which had been un-
dertaken from the cellar of beer
house, approached completion the con-
spirators became apprehensive of a
collapse of the roadway and called in

were aroused, notified the police and

was walking about quite happily.

SHOTGUN QUARANTINE.

It's Effects Shown Mt New Orleans
Thousands OF People Thrown Out OF
Work.
New Orleans, Sept 29.--The yellow
fever situation here continues the
same A daily average of Is or 30 cases
and two deaths has kept up. But while
there is no sign of an epidemic the slow
progress of the disease puts obstacles
daily in the way of the merchant pub
lie, who are anxious to again resume
trade with the surrounding country.
The record Tuesday was not unlike
that of many other days, in that it
showed death through sheer neglect
of the patient and 81 cases up to date
have resulted fatally.
In the meantime the Crescent City
finds itself incapable of shipping a
single pound of freight to Texas.
The result of this is the throwing out
of employment of thousands of people
here. The railroads, manufactures
and big stores have all dispensed with
many of their employees until business
again picks up. This condition of af-
fairs is due entirely to the shotgun
guarantees that have been established
in the country.
Dallas, Tex, Sept. 2o.-The yellow
fever fright has struck Texas in earn
est. Nearly all the towns in eastern,
central and southern Texas have de-
clared shotgun quarantine against
Houston. No passenger trains will
stop in Brazos county hereafter and
there will for the present be no mails
received. The Houston & Texas Cen
tral has practically abandoned its train
service out of Houston, only one train

FIVE NEW DRY DOCKS.

Naval Officers Say they are Urgently Need
ed-would Cost Nearly $6,oOO,OoO.
Washington, Sept. 29.-The special
board appointed by the navy depart
ment to consider the needs of the navy
in the matter of the new dry docks has
submitted its report to Acting Secre-
tary Roosevelt, The board finds that
five new docks to cost $5, 7T5, 900 are ur-
gently necessary, while one (the Port
Royal, s. c., docls) should be enlarged
Immediately. Four of the docks, the
board says, should be of concrete,
namely, at Boston, Norfolk and at
Mare Island, this last to be 500 feet
long.
At Algiers, near New Orleans with
Galveston or Pensacola as alternatives)
it is proposed to place steel floating
dock and wharf. This would cost
$75O,oO0. In addition to these the
board recommends docks to cost So, 300,-
600 at New London, Newport News,
Tortugas, San Francisco concrete
dock on Yerba Buena island, roo feet
long, $780, ,OOO) San Pedro concrete
dock, roo feet long, 81, 500, ,000,)
The work outlined above seems to be
very extensive, but the board says that
with all the additions it proposes to
the number of our dry docks, we still
would have for naval purposes on our
entire coast line only one more dry
dock than has Great Britain at one of
it's navy yards, Portsmouth, England.
At present the United States has to-
tai of Ii dry docks, only one of which
at this time-that at Puget Sound
can take in our battle ships.
