Lieut.. J. Numa -Augustin, Jr., Of
the Twenty-fourth United States

the battle before Santiago. Lieut..
AuGustin was enormously reported
as having been killed in the battle.
Later news showed this to be an
error, bat that he had been seventy
wounded in two places. His many
friends in New Orleans hoped that
the wounds would not prove fatal,
but that he would recover. While
his wife was Fastening to JOIN him

health again, came the news that he
had died from his wounds Lieut..

We must loyalty and firmly sustain
our laws and our governing powers.
There was time before the war
began when every citizen had a
right to express his views upon the
policy Of the nation, but after Con-
grcss has spoken the words that
bring us to war with another nation,
it is our duty now to work hand in

to speedy and successful concur

t!en7cn to consider carefully wha,
constitutes success in life. I is
not the requirement Of glory or
honor, nor is it the requirement
Of wealth, nor yet the successful pur-
suit of Pleasure. If you depend
upon these things you will be great
Nv disappointed. We must not
Suage success by these standards.
How few, comparatively, become
rich; how few attain honor and
glory. You must be guided by
principle, rather than popularity;
by conscience, rather than cSpe-
diency."

Baton Rouge Advocates: The

:si'es with but few exceptions: are
very cutSpoktn in their opposi-
ton to the change proposed to be
IN AIDE in the Sunday law. Attention
is being called to the fact that the
passage Of the pending measure
means practically the repeal OF the
Sunday law all over the State and
to this the great majority OF the
country people are unalterably op-
posed. Representatives, and sena-
tors are being deluged with letters
and petitions against the pending
III easure and the strongest kind Of
effort is being made to keep the law
intact. Large representation Of
law people and anti Sunday
law people remain on the scene and
the battle royal will be on Whenever
the bill comes up in tHe House and /

CONDUCT OF WAR.
Little Business Done at Yesterdays
Session of the Commission.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Only four
members of the Commission appointed
to investigate the conduct of the war
were present at the forenoon session
to-day and in the absence Of replies
to the interrogatories sent to the Sec
retary of War and his subordinates
very little business was transacted
Colonel DENLY was elected Vice
Chairman of the Commission, and in
the absence of Chairman Dodge, Pre-
sided over the session to-day.
The only important matter brought
to the attention of the Commission was
report by General Wilson of the En-
gineer Department of the army, of
which he is chief No statement was
called for from him, but because of the
charges against his department, Cen
eral Wilson concluded that to furnish
one would be an appropriate proceed
ing. The document was held for dispo-
sition by the full Commission, and con-
sequently was not given to the presid-
ing officer.
1t is a detailed statement showing
the condition of the department on the
first of last April, just before the dec
laration of war, as compared with its
condition on the thirtyfirSt of August
last, after the cessation of hostilities,
and it deals especially with torpedoes
and Notifications. Included in it is a
letter written by General Wilson to
his subordinates throughout the coun-
try just before the beginning of the
war, advising them of the prospect for
hostilities, and directing what course
they should pursue as members of the
Engineer Department.
A few letters were received from per-
sons offering to come before the Com
mission. These We're replied to with a
circular letter, of which the following
is a copy:
Dear Sir-Referring to your COM
munication of -, the Commission re-
quests that on receipt of this you
will forward written statement, Civ
| ing in as specific and complete a form
as may be practicable all the facts
| based upon your own personal expe-
| rience and knowledge, that will aid the
| pending investigation. The statement
will be for the information of the Com
| mission only

1t is also asserted that the Tam
many delegates, finding the upstate
sentiment strongly against Van Wyck,
nave thought of taking up Judge d.
Cady Herrick of Albany as their can
didate to prevent ex-senator Hill nom
mating Mr.. Stanchfield, and to combat
any idea that Hill has defeated Croker.
AT midnight it is generally conceded
that Mr.. Danforth will go into the
convention with more votes than any
other candidate, but not enough to
nominate. The Stanchfield boom has
grown rapidly tonight, and many
Tammany men are talking of it.
The only thing decided finally upon
tonight, and not subject to change to-
morrow, is that there will not be any
mention either of the Chicago national
platform nor of silver. Long before
the Platform Committee met there were
indications that this was so.
Some of the radical silver men, cha
grined at the hopelessness of recogni-
ton of their ideas in the convention,
held meeting tonight and selected a
State ticket which will be put in the
field if they are not recognized.
The rorHsed ticket is: For Governor,
William Clark of Oswego; Lieutenant
Governor, Charles B. Matthews of Erie;
Secretary of State, A. c. Fiske of New
York; Comptroller, Levi S. Lewis of
Albany; State Treasurer, John Boyd OF
New York; Attorney General, A. D.
Wales of Brooke; State Engineer,
Martin Schenck of Rensselaer,.
There were some phases of the sill
Yer question in the convention to-day
which We're quite amusing and display
of scientific politics upon the part of
those in charge Of the party affairs who
are for State platform without men
ton of national issues. 1t was called
to the conventions attention that
Hosea H. Rockwell of Chemung, who
presided to-day over the Committee on
Platform, has always been Silver
Democrat, and yet will have to read
from the stage of the convention a plat
form devoid of any commendation of
the Chicago platform. Then, late in
the afternoon, it was announced that
the selection for permanent Chairman
of the convention had fallen upon
Frederick Schraub of Jefferson, who
was a candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor on the State silver mems ticket
two years ago.
When the Silver Democrats heard of
these ironical movements on the part
of the organization Democrats, they
declined to talk, but there is every in
dication that they-are quite willing to
believe that their support is somewhat
weakened by those movements. To-
gether with their newly made slate OF
candidates they also have a very brief
platform which recites as prominent
planks: Reaffirmation of the Chicago
platform; abolition of tolls for travel
ing on the public highways; all State
revenues to be derived from the sue
cession of inheritance taxes, or to the
proposed amendment to the State Con-
stitution proposing biennial sessions of
the Legislature.

| The first explosion occurred in the
basement of the McClain building,
where a quantity of powder and shells
| had been stored 1t set fire to the
building and shattered the glass in
store fronts for some distance along
Fourth street.
| On the third floor of the McClain

away from their position which became
more perilous every moment from the
spreading flames. The firemen took out

by glass and burned by the flames that
were nearly consuming them jumped
to the pavement and We're taken to the
City Hospital in a critical condition.
| A second explosion sent bricks and
glass flying among the firemen, injur-
| ing five of them. Two. it is reported
cannot live. This explosion frightened
a team hitched to a reel, and the horses
ran away, injuring one fireman and a
citizen.
! Less than an hour after the fire
started the walls of the McClain build
ing fell.
1t is not yet known what the loss
which is total on the buildings and con-
tents, will amount to. 1t will probably
aggregate more than 100000, partially
covered by insurance. McClain & Com
pany carried $4,000 insurance on their
stock and fixtures. 1t is not known
| how the explosion was caused.
| AT o'clock tonight Paul Bruder
who jumped from an upper window OF
| the burning McClain building died at

consciousness.

CORBETT INJURED.
Kicked by Kid Mccoy While Held
by Friends.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-The ougi-
lists. Kid Mccoy and Jim Corbett,
whose match has been broken off, met
in the lobby of the Gilsey House to-
day
Mccoy knocked Corbett's hat off, and
then. while Corbett was held by his
friends. kicked Corbett in the groin.
He then ran out of side door away
from the crowd. Corbett was taken to
his room and a doctor summoned.
Corbett, his manager, George Consi-
dyne. and AL Smith ate lunch together
in the Gilsey House cafe, finishing
about 1 O'Clock. They then walked out
through the lobby, and in the Broad
way entrance met David Nugent Of
the Hawthorne Athletic Club, who join
ed them. In one end of the entrance were
Mccoy. William Gray of the Haw-
thorne Club, and six other men. They
were talking excitedly.
Considyne saluted Gray, and Corbett
walked up to do likewise. Gray, after
acknowledging the salute, said to Cor
bett: Il don't think you want to fight"
Whats that?" incurred Corbett.
Gray repeated the remark, and Cor
bett loudly said that he was ready to
.I'll fight him now and right here in
the street." said Corbett.
Mccoy, who had been listening, step
ped up to Corbett as the latter spoke
and knocked off his hat. Several of
Corbett's friends, wishing no disturb
ance. held him, and as they seized him
by the arms and shoulders, Mccoy lev
eled a kick at Corbett, which struck
him in the groin. COrbett leaned over
in pain, unable to try to get at Mccoy,
who. as soon as he had kicked Corbett
dashed back to the side entrance of the
hotel.
Corbett tried to follow, but he could
not do so, and he was persuaded to go
to his room. A doctor was Immediately
summed.
A large crowd had gathered at the
first rumor that the prize fighters were
in the hotel together, and by the time
the report that they had got ino a fight
had been spread, which was in a few
minutes, the hotel was beseiged. The
crowd was in a state of excitement
about the alleged fight, but neither of
