accepting the nomination of the Re.
publican national convention for the
office of President of the United States

dwells upon our relations with the
filipinos. lie says the future status
of the Philippine Islands rests entirely
with congress- that there has never
been a time since Manila's fall when
the troops could or should be with
drawn. He further says that the Fill
pinos are to be fitted for self-govern-
ment as rapidly as possible, and given
it as rapidly as fitted for IT,.

The National party-the official name

on the 9Th in Carnegie hall, New York,
and nominated candidates for Presi-

There were no other candidates for

received with hearty applause. The
platform adopted says:
1--WE citizens OF the United States OF America
assembled for the purpose OF defending the
wise and conservative principles which UNI
derlie our government, thus declare our aims
and purposes:
I'VE find our country threatened with alter
native perils. On the one hand is a public
opinion misled by organized forces OF CONNER
cialism who have perverted n war intended by
the people TO be a war of humanity into war
OF conquest. on the other hand is public
opinion swayed by demagogic appeals TO fac
tional and class passions, the most fatal OF dis
ease 20 republic. We believe that either OF
these influences II unchecked would ultimately
compass the downfall OF our country. but we
also believe that neither represents the sober
conviction OF our countrymen,
Convinced that the extension Of the juris-
diction of the United States for the purpose OF
holding foreign people as colonial dependen-
cies is an innovation dangerous 10 our liberties
and repugnant to the principles upon which our
government is founded. we pledge our efforts
through all constitutional means.
"FirSt-To procure the remuneration of all
imperial or colonial pretentions with regard 10
foreign countries claimed TO have been ac-
quired through or in consequence of military or
naval operations OF the last two years.
"Second-We further pledge our efforts TO
secure single gold standard and a sound bank

"Fourth-To secure the abolition of all cor
rupting special privileges whether under the
guise OF subsidies. bounties, undeserved pen

Daughters Saved Their Mothers Life.


DIR. j. Il. Berringer, prominent
physician of Watervleet, was arrested
on the 10th and taken to the county
Jail at ST. Joseph. He is charged with
attempting to murder his wife. When
the news of the attempted murder be-
came known, the people became much
excited There was talk of lynching
Berringer, and the authorities hurried
him off to the county Jail under a
strong guard. The two daughters
were awakened by screams for help
from their mothers lips, and ran to
her assistance, only to find their
father pounding her over the head and
in the face with an iron pestle. They
sprang upon the Infatuated man and
fierce struggle ensued for possession of
the weapon, and the girls finally came
out victorious. Family troubles are at
the bottom of the murderous attempt
upon Mrs. Berringer's life. These
same troubles led to an attempt few
days ago on the part of Miss Eva Ber-
ringer to commit suicide by taking
poison. Although not fully recovered
from the effects of the poison she
fought desperately to prevent her
father from carrying out his intent.

FrightfuI Loss of Life in Texas.

The West Indian storm which
reached the Gulf coast on the sth
wrought awful havoc in Texas. Re-
ports are conflicting, but it is known
that an appalling disaster has befallen
the city of Galveston, where, it is re-
ported, a thousand or more lives have
been blotted out and tremendous
property damage incurred. Meager
reports from Sabine Pass and Port
Arthur also indicate a heavy loss of
life but these reports cannot be con-
firmed at this hour. The first news to
reach Houston from the stricken city
of Galveston was received the night
after the storm. James c. Timmins,
who resides in Houston. and who is
the general superintendent of the Ma
lional Compress Co., arrived in the city
with the news. He was the first To
reach Houston with tidings of the
great disaster which has befallen that
city and the magnitude of the disaster
remains to be told because of his en-
deavors to reach home. After remain
ing through the hurricane he departed
from Galveston on a schooner and
went across the bay TO Morgan's Point,
where he caught "A train for Houston
The hurricane, Mr.. Timmins said, was
the worst ever known.

since the eth on suspicion of having
killed Chas. Brewer, his farm hand, IA
years ago, confessed on the 10th that
he killed Brewer but says that he did

brought to light through the finding
of skeleton in well on farm for
merly occupied by Austin. which was
identified as the remains of Brewer by
a shin bone, which was known to have
been broken and not properly set.
Austin has stoutly protested his inno-
cence until the above date. when his
wife was induced by the district attor-
ney to go before the grand jury and
tell what she knew of the murder.
When Austin was informed of this and
heard his wife repeat her story he

CHINA WAR NEWS.

The latest expression as TO the atti-
tude of the powers on the execution of
Pelkin comes from the United States
ambassador at Paris, Gen. Horace
Porter, who has advised the authorities
at Washington that the attitude of the
French government is favorable TO the
position taken by Russia. Almost
simultaneously with this dispatch from
Gen. Porter came another from the
American charge d'atfaires at Berlin,
giving the attitude OF Germany on Rus
sia's proposal This in substance states
that Germany, while anxious to avoid
any friction between the powers, re-
CARDS the conditions at Pel1in such as
to require the continued presence Of
German forces there. Neither Gen.
Porter nor Mr.. Jackson give the text
of the answers, but only the substance
of the positions taken by the two gov
ernments.
According TO information received
from a reliable source, only the u. S.
government has as yet answered the
proposals of Russia. An exchange of
ideas between the powers is in progress.
The various governments have tele-
graphed their representatives in PelSin,
asking an opinion regarding the with
drawal of the troops and what the mil
itary situation would be resulting from
the decision of Russia.
A very interesting dispatch was re-
ceived at the war department on the
4th from Gen. Chaffee 1t described
the military situation as eminently
satisfactory, and would have been of

common to all of the other official dis
patches from China, namely, the date
line. In his opinion the present u. $.
force in China is ample to cope with
the situation.
News has been received of the kill
ing of several American women mis-
sionaries by the Chinese. The women

nities-they were led about the coun-

to be described.

allies in China is declared TO be past

powers, makes it certain that what
ever action may be taken will be har-
monious.

There is a popular impression that
microbes and germs of all kinds are
killed by intense cold. Recent exper-
iments in the laboratory of Professor
Dewar, the man who solidified hydro
gen, shows that this impression is err
roneous. Many forms of bacteria were
subjected to the tremendous cold Of
liquid air for an entire week without
interruption, yet afterward they de-
veloped as vigorously as they would
have done if they had not undergone
so frosty an experience.
