Friends Of Colonel Taylor in Con.

troll of the Convention.
LEXINGTON, July 12.-After two
days Of skirmishing the delegates to
the Republican State Convention met
for business to-day.
The lines of Attorney General w. S.
Taylor, candidate for Governor, remain
unbroken. The Taylor men secured the
temporary organization, and had
everything in their hands.
1t was after 2 p. m. when G. M. Bar
nett, Chairman of the State Commit
tee, called the convention to order. He
announced the temporary officers of the
convention as selected last night, and
introduced as temporary Chairman
Congressman Vincent Boring, who was
received with an ovation.
Chairman Boring predicted the elec-
ton of another Republican State
ticket, and the electoral vote again for
Mckinley
A long debate occurred on a motion
to refer all resolutions without reading
or debate. AS this motion was be-
lieved to be intended to anticipate res
olutions of protest from the colored
men against Colonel Taylor, it brought
out the colored orators in great vc-
hemence.
The Chairman finally ruled the mo-
ton out of order until the report of
the Committee on Rules and Order of
Business had been adopted.

TRINIDAD (Colo.), July 12.-South-
bound passenger train No. l on the
Colorado and Southern Railway was
robbed by four men at point five
miles south Of Folsom, N. M. The hold
up occurred at 1890 O'clock last night,
at the same point at which the pas
senger train was held up last Septem-
Der. Il,
After the train had been brought to
a .standstill and the train crew had
been 'intimidated bysguns, the robbers
used dynamite with good effect, blow
ing open the sides of the express car.
Superintendent Webb and Wells Far
go Express Agent Glover both state
positively that nothing was secured by
the robbers.
Superintendent Webb left for the
scene of the hold-up on a special train,
accompanied by officers with horses.
He is confident he will be able to over
take the robbers
There were but few passengers on
the train. and they were not molested.
AS soon as the robbers had searched
the express car they mounted horses,
which were hitched near by. and,
firing a few shots to alarm the train
men and passengers. fled without any
attempt to go through the mail car.
Parties here who claim to know say
that there was a large amount of
money in the express safe, as we'll as
valuable express matter.

after a few minutes of confusion the
hearing went on
Senator Gallinger read prepared
statement showing the case against him
to be utterly collapsed, and protesting
against further continuance. He then
left the room, and his COUNSEL Mr..
Eastman, spoke with a view to soften
ing the harsh words he had used to
Senator Chandler. The latter. made a
similar concession to Attorney General
Eastman, and under such happy aus,
pices the matter adjourned, probably
never to resume.
The Commissioners will not leave
town until tomorrow, but there is lit
tie likelihood of any further action be-
ing taken.
Senator Chandler made statement
tonight declaring that Commissioner
Brewer prejudiced the case, and con-
Quoted it in a partial manner: that
he showed great discourtesy to the
complainants, and made it impossible
for the case to be fairly and fully pre-
sented.
It is understood that Senator Chand-
ler will ask President Mckinley for
the removal of Mr.. Brewer on these
charges.

SOUTHAMPTON, July 12.-The
members of the athletic teams of Yale

rived by the American liner st. Louis
this evening, are in excellent health.
There was a busy scene on the South-
ampton dock when they disembarked-

AMERICANS CHANCES OF VIM
: MING. /,
LONDON, July 12.-President Hum
ter of the Cambridge University Ath-
letic Committee during an interview to-
day said:
"Mr. Sherill originated the idea of in-
ternational college athletics, with the
suggestion that Oxford and Cambridge
issue a challenge. The sole reason for
limiting it to Yale and Harvard was
because they are considered above the
suspicion of professionals. We have
received from them the greatest cour-
tesy. There has been no hitch what
soever during the negotiations. 1t has
been pleasing policy of give and take
on both sides. with the happiest results.
The meeting promises to be a keen
struggle The Americans will prob
ably win the sprints, and we ought to
pull off the long events. as 1t is well
known the Americans seldom run a
good long race. Thomas and Burke in
the 100 yards and quarter mile will
take lot of beating. Adams half
mile time is quite two seconds too good
for our men.
Some of the performances of the
visitors are remarkable, but America.
is a long way off, and some American
Journalists have vivid imaginations.
One-ffth of second appears to them
inconsiderab1e, but on the track Is a
considerable quantity. If the races
are correctly reported they will prob-
ably win"

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Represen-
tatiye r. B. Hawley of Texas, who Is
now in Washington to-day made pub
lie the following statement with refer
ence to the flood situation in that
State:
'The disaster which has overtaken
the communities in Southern Texas
is without parallel in our country AT
some points the precipitation was
three and one-half feet in sixty hours.
resulting in a flood of enormous pro-
portions, covering an area of many
square miles to a depth of from five
to twenty feet, and loss of from $780,
100000 to $40,00O,0O0 No less than
twenty populous towns have been in
undated, as well as thousands of well-
esta ablished and well-ordered farms.
which to-day are in a complete state
of desolation. Practically every work
animal, every milch COW, together
with stock cattle and every vestige OF
vegetation, have been swept away
leaving the country completely devas-
tated.
within the influence of this awful
disaster resided over 100000 people,
almost half of whom are in a state
of helplessness to-day, except as they
may be provided for by those who are
generous and able to assist them.
Texas is alive to the situation. and
is doing it's utmost to relieve the suf-
fering. 1t is, however, impossible, for
the State alone within the time neces-
sary to succor these people to come
to their relief. When the great Johns
town flood occurred Pennsylvania
could have easily taken care of their
own If given time. but as time, as it
is now, was the essential factor, they
were obliged to appeal to a generous
public everywhere, and from every
where the relief was immediate on a.
scale commensurate with the disaster
ITO, this public the food district OF
Texas appeals to-day to supply the
necessaries of life until the horror OF
the flood shall have passed. and the
people shall be in a position to again
address themselves to the task of re-
establishing their homes. For this
purpose it is urged through the press.
the different commercial and municipal
authorities of every city of the Union
that this appeal be answered.
For the distribution of this relief
out the flooded district. Immediately
under the direction of the Governor
of Texas, to whom all contributions
should be addressed at Austin, Tex,
and under whose care every dollar will
be judiciously and effectively ex-
pended"
