May Be a Dead Chinanan.

London, Sept. 2e.-The Daily Tel
egrams Hong Kong correspondent,
wiring Sunday, says: Although there
is no positive information, all the
evidence tends to the conviction that
the emperor is dead. A private dis
patch says he died September 21,
directly he issued the edict giving

Roosevelt for Governor.

New York, Sept. PA dispatch
from Saratoga announces the nomi-
nation by the republican state con-
yention Of Theodore Roosevelt for
governor and Timothy L. Woodruff
for lieutenant governor. The cx-
pected contest did not materialize,
as after counting the Black men
found it impossible to nominate their
man. The feeling for Roosevelt
seemed to be almost unanimous. Ever
since he was spoken OF for governor
sentiment has been crystallizing for
him, and it was impossible to break
it. Roosevelt's nomination is dis.
tasteful to the Platt republicans, at
least to those who are Infinitely
connected with him in political deals,
but they will make the best OF it and
give Col. Roosevelt their loyal sup
port. The platform endorses heartily

Explosion Due to Carelessness.

NEW WHATCoM. Wash, Sept. &.-
Half a ton of powder exploded at the
Lind's road building camp. Il miles north
Of here today and killed three people. Gus
Swanson, Mike Gee, and the 6-ytar-old
son of John McCulloch were fatally in
jured. and Dan Sandstrom seriously hurt.
Three horses were killed. The cook house,
stable and shops were blown TO splinters,
and the report was heard 20 miles away.
The powder was stored in blacksmith
shop and was a mixture Of black and
giant powder The black powder caught
from a spark through carelessness. There
were dozen men close around the shop.
The explosion deafened them and flung all
of them far away from where they were,
but only three were killed. Charles
Buchanan was hitching up his buggy
close by. The top of the buggy was blown
away and Buchanan was stunned.
The camp belonged to a road contractor,
who had 25 men at work. and 1t is a
mystery how anyone escaped, as the
buildings are all demolished and the
ground torn up in all directions, while the
killed were thrown long distances.

SYRACUSE Sept. 2.-The chaotic con-
dltion Of the delegations to the democratic
state convention at midnight was aecen-
tuated by contest precipitated by the
action Of the committee on credentials in
confirming the sitting Of delegations In
the three districts Of Erie and seating the
.contesting delegates In the hrst and third
districts Of Monroe. This action, II ap-
proved, would probably give control OF
the next state convention TO ex-senator
Hill. and at midnight tonight II was al
legged that Croker and Tammany would
fight the adoption OF the report on the
floor OF the convention tomorrow.
II is also asserted that the Tammany
delegates. finding the upstate sentiment
strongly against Van wyck. have thought
Of taking up Judge d. Cady Herriek. OF
ALBANY. as their candidate. and to COM
bat any idea that Hill has defeated
Croker.
At midnight It is generally conceded

AN ATTEMPT TO REMOVE
CANNON FROM HAVANA.
Spaniards Bent upon Looting Cuba of All
the War Supplies Possible-Called
Down by the Commission.

NEW YORK. Sept. ga dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says;
Members of the American commission
wera astonished by the sight Of a heavy
rapid fire gun and carriage moved past
the hotel. 1t was being taken by road
engine toward the city from battery be-
hind the hotel Trooha.
As result a terse note was prepared,
stating in unmistakable language 10
the Spanish commission that the Amer
lean commission considered the removal
of the guns a distinct breach of the terms
of the protocol. adding the demand that
no cannon or other munitions of war be
moved without the previous assent ant
permission of the American commission.
The note was promptly sent, being de-
llvered by Captain Hart and Lieutenant
Hampton to the Spanish commission long
before the cannon reached the city.
A member of the Spanish commission
said that he considered the matter OF no
Importance. Nothing has been said to
the American commission because 1t was
considered that the return of the cannon
into the cruiser Alfonso XIII, from which
1t had been taken to the battery, was
perfectly natural and within Spanish re-
ports and that no American consent was
necessary any more than for the return
of invalid soldiers to Spain, upwards of
1900 of whom had been sent home since
/ the protocol was signed without the Of
. fetal knowledge of the American COM
mission. This reply was delivered at the
Trocha by the official Spanish interpreter,
Major Banltz, 1t was regarded as un-
satisfactory, involving further commune
ication on the subject from the American
commission. No Spanish evacuation re-
ply has been sent, because the commits
sion failed to meet last night as had been
expected, but 1t is promised at the earll-
est possible date. 1t may be delivered to-
morrow.
A member of the Spanish commission
informed me that there were about 10000
Ill soldiers now in Cuba.

steamship Altal. Of the Atlas line. They
remained IN Nicaragua 10 complete the
work which was In progress when Admir-
al Walker and other members OF the COM
mission were returning 10 take part in

Eben $. Wheeler was the chief engineer
OF the party. It's other members were
Andrew onderdonk, Harvey C. Miller,
Louis Hawkins. William d, Thomas,
Richard II. Post. p. J. Burns. and Horauo
II. Trundle
The preliminary work was finished be-
fore the party left the field and a vast
amount OF data. the result Of surveyings,
borings and souhdmgs, has been brought
back and will be included in the official
reports which will be placed before con-
gress at It's coming session
The surveys show that the proposed can
al Is entirely feasible and that the cost
will be considerably less than the esti-
mates made by the Ludlow commission or
the sum named by Admiral Walker a
year ago as likely to be needed.
The reduction in cost is due to a change
In the location OF the ochoa dam, and to
other notifications Of the old route.
The Ludlow commission estimated the
cost OF the canal at SlSS,OOOOOO, Admiral
Walker named $l25 200 600 as the aggregate
cost. The report Of the engineers Will
place the estimate at less than 100000 0OO

from Ochoa TO a point II miles lower

and It's costly embankment can be avoided
and saving of SlO,OOO,OOO made, While
Mr. Wheeler and other members of the re-
turning party decline to be quoted at any
length in reference to the canal work,
they say their reports will show that the
canal is a project containing no serious
difficulty, and that 1t can be quickly and
cheaply built
1t Is two years now since any actual
work has been done on the canal by the
company of which Warner Miller is the
head. The concession obtained by the
company from the Nicaragua government
Is said to stln hold good. The attempt to
build the canal by private means has been
abandoned by Mr., Miller and his associ-
ates and all rights in the premesis have
been offered to the government.

headed by Il. f. Cragn. have looked over
