The sequel TO strange sea story de-
veloped yesterday \ few days ago the
schooner Rio Ray, bound from San Fran
cisco to Siuslaw. and which lay on that
bar twenty days unable TO get into har-
Dor because OF rough weather, came into
this port in distress. short of provisions.
The captain reported that in a gale a
few days before he had spoken canoe
loaded with Indians. They could not
speak English but made known that they
were hungry. Out OF his own poor stores
he gave them water and crackers. They
refused all invitations 10 come aboard
the schooner. though Il seemed every mo-
ment their frail craft would be swamped
in the storm. They had one seal in the
canoe. What they could do on the open
ocean In such weather. or where they
came from was a mystery. II now tran
spires that the stalwart buck Indians
and two or three squaws who have been
IN the city for day or two are on the
British sealing schooner HatEic, which
arrived here in distress. and constitute
her fishing crew. and are only a few OF
hundreds OF Indians on fifty or more
sealers now lining this coast. The men
are very daring and the crew seen by the
Rio Ray drifted many miles from their
vessel in storm but reached ii again
in safety after a perilous experience.

My Dear General Phillips:

me just recovering from a severe attack of
bilious malarial fever. ] am able only to
be up three or four hours in the cool part
of the day. My physician tells me that it
will not do for me to venture out for at

that not be with you all at Cincinnati,

Mr.. Donnelly responded, accepting the
nomination and pledging his best eff

pies party, and Mr.. Barker, called to
the platform, responded in like tone.
Capt. Burkitt, of Mississippi, then took
the floor to move the following resolu-
ton, which, earnestly supported by both
the candidates for president and vice
president, was adopted:
The resolution reads as follows:
Whereas, The sole object of this con-
vention has been and is to secure to the
rank and file of the Peoples party an
absolute certainty that straight Popu-

form should be presented to them in

dunn vote above referred to shall be
taken in accordance with the plan pro-
vided in the report of the committee

tion."
The convention then proceeded to the
work OF creating a new national com
mittee by electing Milton Park as chair
man, wherupon motion was made and
carried that the state delegations confer
with view to the appointment Of
members of the national committee. It
was further

The Minneapolis Journal of last Saturday
says: The Journal calls attention to the fol-
lowing special dispatch, which tells about
an effort of the Populists to pull themselves
together yesterday for a county nominating
convention in Mobiles county:
The Mobiles county Populist conventi0
for the purpose of electing delegates to the
district legislative convention and for the
placing in nomination of candidates for
equity offices, met at Rushmore. Leading
Democrats were there also, and attempted
to dictate terms and force fusion ticket.
The convention refused TO accept fusion in
any form and adjourned after electing dele
gates to the legislative convention. One OF
the leaders remarked that the party was
dead in this county and should be given
decent burial. No nominations for county
officers were made The leaders were mostly
former Republicans and they refuse to be
sold bodily to the Democrats. Most OF taeHs
will now support the Republican ticket

Palmer was adopted. The committee
on permanent organization named Igna-
thus Donnelly for permanent chairman,
and Jas. Hopp, of Illinois, for secretary.
Next, upon motion, each state pro-
ceeded to elect delegates to serve on

named as follows:

The appointment of these committees
closed the work of Monday.
The Tuesday morning session opened
with the reading of two patriotic and
very able letters from Milton Park and
ex-Gov. David H. Waite, both of which
letters deeply impressed the conven-
ton. These letters appear in another
column.
Following the reading of these letters
came the report of the committee on
resolutions and platform, an address
which raised the convention to a pitch
of enthusiasm seldom seen in a political
gathering. 1t bore the unmistakable
evidences of craftsmanship; no straddle,
no evasion, no ambiguity married it's
structure; it's language was the pure
diction of a scholar, and P. H. Rahilly,

of a national ticket. Wharton Barker,

politicians, We have cast aside all prece-
dents and go directly to the people. We
will end the tricks of the Office seekers by
putting our national ticket in the field at
once, and commencing anew the campaign
of education which gave us, in the first two
years Of our existence, nearly two million
votes.
We believe the soul is bigger than the
pocketbook. We address ourselves to the
reason of men and their love of country.
We have nothing but kind words for DEM
ocrats and Republicans individually. We
beg them to join our ranks and help us
fight the battles of mankind. For those
who, eager for immediate results. have in
nocently left US and merged with the enemy
and help on our decentralization, we extend
the open arms Of invitation and reconcilia-
ton. We ask them, for the sake of the
great truths which fired their hearts In
1892, to be with us in 1898 and forever after.
If the birth of our party was demanded by
events six years ago, circumstances clamor
in laundering tones for it's continuance to-
day. The whole experiment of self-govern-
nent is at stake. We are about to add to
our population as many millions of aliens
and strange people as our whole voting
force amounts to, and no one can say how
soon these will be dragged to the ballot
box by the money power, to bury our lib
critics in universal ruin.
BY all the dreadful past of the world, by
the memory of all the millions who ended
lives of miserable enslavement in degraded
graves, by the teachings and sacrifices of
the martyred Christ, by the sufferingS of
the great revolution which made us a ma
ton, by all the hopes of humanity all over
this round globe, we implore our fellow citi-
zens to unite with in one grand effort
TO build up reform party that will liberate
mankind.
Our hearts go out to the wretched and
oppressed of the whole world. and if placed
in power in this country we shall try to
so act as to help all mankind.
AS a fundamental step to the preservation
of our endangered liberties, We demand that
the reign of corruption shall cease in our
legislative halls by the establishment of
direct legislation. We must shorten the
plough handles of government, by bringing
the legislator closer to his primo ipals-so
close that no lobbyist can ntrude between
them. Through the initiative and referen-
dunn all moral and political questions can
be submitted to fair and impartial vote
of the people, and if adopted by majority
of the voters become the law of the land
While we demand that if either gold or
silver is to be used money both shall be
used, we insist that the best currency this
country ever possessed was the full legal

taken in the Senate yesterday was the
resolution introduced by Senator Lodge
for the purchase of the three Danish ISL
ands in the West Indies. This has been
a pet project of Senator Lodge for a long
time, and recently ne has been urging the
advisabilty of securing the islands as
coaling stations on the Administration
very strongly The negotiations have
been in progress for several days, and 1t
is understood that Denmark is willing to
sell.
The project to secure the Islands has
been entertained by this country for
many years It was first broached by
Secretary Fish. and has been revived at
times since then. Senator Lodge intro
duced bill for the purchase during the
extra session, but 1t did not become a
law.
Senator Cullom said to a reporter for
The Times last night that the islands are
one of the most important stragetic
points in the whole West Indies, and
would be invaluable to this country in
case of war with Spain. They would be
valuable as a coaIlng station, and are, in
addition, one of the keys to the gulf.
