ALGer

ernor Pingree, noted for his "po-
tato patch" scheme, while mayor
of this city, and for his tireless
fight against corporations, was
unanimously nominated this after
noon by The Republican State
convention to succeed himself to
the gubernatorial chair.
The convention passed resolu-
tions reaffirming the principles of
the ST. Louis platform, endorsing
President Mckinley and Secre-
tary of War, Alger.
In his speech of acceptance
Governor Pingree announced that
he was "the kind of Republican
that believes in principle before

ton that no one should get out of
paying his taxes. He wouldn't
vote for even the best Republican
that tried it.

CAPTAIN DRYFUS
IN DANGER
Mufeneers In French Guiana
Libersfe Prisoners
GUARD UNDER ORDERS

New York, Sept. pa dispatch
received here from Paris says that
a deputy representing French
Guiana has been informed that &
mutiny has taken place among
the convicts at Cayenne.
The guards we're oyerpowered
by the mutineers, who then seized
the arms and ammunitions held in
the military store house. 1t is
stated that they are now storming
the prison in an attempt to free
the LOCO convicts confined in the
building 1t is probable that re-
Inducements will not arrive in
time to put down the mutiny.
Captain Dryfus, the noted
French convict, is confined at
Devils Island, only short distance
from Cayenne. AS his guard
is under strict order to kill him if
any attempt is made to release him,
the mutiny may result in the death
of Dryfus, whose trial and senten-
ce caused such a stir not only in
the French nation, but in this
country as well.
