A sight for Spartan eyes was wit

They Undergo . Severe Training and Are

England does not agree with the

one Of the relief corps to New York
Tribune reporter recently. "A body Of
trained nurses would indeed be o valua.

England the government established q

be educated for the army nearly 90

work in the Crimea.
Nurses have to spend five or six
years i'll training, which is exceedingly
severe, and when they are graduated
they wear uniform and are a part of
the British army. They must respond
at moments notice, and with little
baggage to go to any part of the world
where they are needed. They take the
sufferers home from plague stricken

all the arduous duties of an army

The governor of 4 state will have no

When these are equipped the govern

sincere hope OF the var department that
it viii not be called upon to fully equip
these troops before hostilities are at an

This third division will constitute the

is possible that the men never will be

Mr.. Porter forced the fighting on a

and it was carried into the earliest eau

NEVADA M'KINLEYITES
Went Through the Ceremony of Nom
mating a Ticket

Reno, New, Sept. 15.-The delegates
to the Republican state convention met
in caucus at noon today and decided
to make no nomination for congress-
man. The convention proper immedi-
ately assembled and effected its organ
ization by the election of o. H. Gray
as chairman and A. Faux and William
Higgins as secretaries.
The usual committees were appointed
and the convention took a recess for
half an hour, when the committee on
credentials made its report, which was
adopted. The convention then took a
recess until o'clock p. m.
Upon reassembling, the committees
on order of business and on platform
and resolutions made their reports.
The platform strongly endorses Pres
ident Mckinley and his administration
in the successful and speedy termina-
ton of the war with Spain. 1t declares
in favor of the immediate construction
of the Nicaraguan canal and its per-
manent control by the United States
government; also the charging and
strengthening of the navy and coast
defenses, and a standing army COM
mensurate with the dignity of the ma
ton It commends the annexation of
the Sandwich islands, and declares in
favor of territorial expansion.
The platform reiterateS faith in the
great Republican principles of bimetal-
lism, protection and reciprocity, and
declares that, as the Republican party
is pledged to binetallism, the settle
ment of the financial question may be
safely left to the national Republican
party.
1t declares in favor of the construc-
ton of storage reservoirs for irrigation,
and urges representatives IN congress
to secure their construction by the
general government.
It declares in favor of the submis-
sion of the woman suffrage question to
the people.
The following ticket was then nom-
mated by reclamation:
Governor, William Mcmillan of
Storey; lieutenant governor, ]. w. Fer
guson; state treasurer, F. ]. Button;

Washington, Sept. 15.-The cabinet
met in special session at 8 o'clock this
afternoon and adjourned at 4 o'clock
All of the members were present ex-
cept Secretary Alger, who is not in the
city. All united in the statement after
the meeting that they had agreed TO
say nothing more of the deliberations
than that the peace commissioners had
been fully instructed AS TO the nature
OF these instructions, they conveyed
not a word. Each one pointed out that
to do so would be extremely lmpoitlc,
and would amount to arming the Span
ish commissioners in advances against
themselves. The peace commissioners
who We're approached on the subject
made similar responses, thus closing all
official avenues of information. 1t was
said that the commissioners were full
ly instructed" and, upon seeking
further explanation of this phrase, 1t
appeared that the cabinet had patient
ly gone over III the discussion with the
commissioners every subject that in
their opinion could be brought into the
proceedings before the joint commits
sioners On each of these the Ameri-
can commissioners were made acquain-
ted with the views and wishes of the
administration.
1t is not to be understood from this
that the commissioners go under iron
clad and Interchangeable instructions at
all points, for there is a certain amount
of flexibility in the instructions, or, as
one of the cabinet members put ii, the
president might just as we'll have re-
duced his wishes to paper in the form
of an ultimatum and have sent that to
Paris by messengers. The peace COM
missioners are in no sense mere mouth
pieces, but, having chosen with the
greatest care and consideration five
men ir whom he puts the most explicit
confidence, the president feels that they
are to be trusted with the interests of
the United States. 1t is not expected
that they will have a free rein in the
larger questions of policy, but with am
pie OPPORTUNITIES for consultations by
cable and otherwise, there is no reason
why the commissioners should not be
able to carry out the desires of the
administration and at the same timet
have the opportunity to somewhat
shape those desires by conveying in
formation they may require.
WILL MEET MERRITT.
For instance, it is expected that at
Paris the commissioners will meet Cen
eral Merritt, fresh from Manila, and
in addition they will there have the
benefit of a special report from Adj
miral Dewey. These will be of the
greatest value, for the commissioners
are not acquainted with the Philippine
question in detail, and even the infor-
nation that is to be acquired from
the Spanish peace commissioners is not
to be despised, when it takes such an
official form that it can be relied upon,
as to accuracy.
All the arrangements have been COM

WRECK IN BLACKeCANYON.
Conductor and Engineer Killed and
Brakeman Injured.

Denver, Sept ia special to the
News from Gunnison, Colo, says: Con-
ductor D. NJ Riley and Engineer John
Pettinger were killed and Brakeman
Tressler was badly injured in a railway
wreck on the Denver & Rio Grande in
the Black canyon this afternoon, a few
miles west OF Sapinero. The train which
was wrecked was made up of empty
passenger coaches, running west. From
some unknown cause, while running at
full speed, the engine and one car left
the track and went into the GunniSOn
river. Full details of the accident are
lacking.
A wrecking train left for the scene
of the accident at once and in a short
time the track was again open for
traffic
