and his cabinet, indorsing Mr.. Bryan
and the Chicago platform, indorsing
Senator Morgan and his Nicaraguau
canal plan, selecting new state exec
utive committee and electing delegates
and electors to the national convention
at Kansas City. It will go down in
history as perhaps the most harmoni-
GUS state convention ever Le!d in Ala
bama. There was less trading and
trafficking in votes and influence than
in any of the conventions held in 1e-
cent years.
There were no combinations to de-
feat the strongest man, notwithstand-
ing there Nss an average of four or
FIVE candidates for each Office. The
iavorites all Won, and it was the evi.
dent policy of the assembly, repre-

give the nomination to the man who
came to the convention with more
votes than any of his opponents. The
following is the state ticket in full:

APPEAL TO GEORGIA VOTERS

Made by Women Of tho State W. @. +. u.
at Augusta Meeting.
At the first days session of the an
nual convention of the Georgia W. O.
T. o., held in Augusta, the following
resolution was passed:
Whereas, The prohibitionists of tho
state have decided not to place candi.
dates in the field for the state and
county Offices for 1900, and,
Whereas, The Democratic party in
Georgia holds . uniform primary
throughout the state for the nomina-
ton of these officers on May Is next,
therefore be it
Resolved by the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union Of Georgia, in con-
vention assembled, that we urge all
Prohibitionists who participate in said
primary to cast their ballots for candi-
dates for the offices of senator and
representative who are avowed Prohi.
bitionists, realizing as we do that an.
other battle will be fought in the next
legislature for the cause we hold so
dear. As nomination by the Demo-
cratic party in many counties is equiv
alent to an election, we therefore re-
spectfully urge all Prohibitionists who
participate in said primary to vote for
men representing the grand principles
of prohibition. Let them do this, and
the whisky traffic will be driven FROM
the borders of our fair state.

TOUGH on THE WOMEN.

Surgeon Treves Says They Are q Verita-
BILE PLAGUE" In South Africa.
A New York World London dispatch
says: .'
Frederick Treves, the famous sur.
geon who has just returned from the
war, was entertained at banquet Sat
urday night presided over by Lord
Roseberry.
DR.. Treves took occasion to admin
ter singing rebuke to the "smart"
women suffering from Khaki fever who
have gone as alleged nurses to the
front. He said:
$50 far as the sick are concerned
there are only two plaques in South
Africa-the plague of flies and the
plague of women.
''The flies we get rid of by horse
hair wisps and other appliances, and
the flies at least depart at night. But
the women are absolutely and really
terror. They come out in the guise OF
ameteur nurses after having exhausted
eyery other form of excitement.
"Considering that we are engaged
in q war, the number of women dressed
in kbakis giving picnics is blot upon
the campaign"

CANADIAN TOWNS BURN.
More Than $500 Buildings De-
stroyed, Entailing An Estima-
ted Loss of Twenty Millions.


A special from Ottawa, Ont, says:
Five square miles of territory burned
over; more than $500 dwellings, fac
tories, mills, stores and other buildings
destroyed, entailing a loss estimated to
reach $40, 900, 900 and between 1000
and $4,000 men, women and children
homeless, is summing up of the havoc
wrought by fire which ragged at Hull
and in Ottawa Thursday.
Most of the lumber piles in Ottawa
and Hull have disappeared and are
now mere heaps of charred wood and
ashes. Half a dozen churches and
schools, q number of mills, the Hull
waterworks, the Hull courthouse and
Jail, the postoffice, the convent-al-
most every business place, and about
1000 dwellings and shops in Hull have
been destroyed. Indeed, nothing prac-
tically of Hull is left but church and
q few houses beyond it.
The fire originated through fire in
a sooty chimney and the high wind
caused the flames to spread rapidly in
the direction of the lumber piles and
mills on both the Hull and Ottawa
shores Of the Ottawa river and Claud-
iere falls. The total loss is estimated
at s15,O0O,0o0 and insurance at
50, 500, 900.

Mason Introduces Resolution to With
draw Troops on July 4.
In the senate, Thursday, Mr.. Mason
of Illinois introduced a joint resolu-
tion requiring the president to with
draw the forces of the United States
from Cuba 30 as to turn the govern
ment of the island over to the Cubans
by the 4th day of next July. The reso-
luton was IS follows:
'sTLat the president of the United
States is hereby requested to withdraw
the forces of the United States as rap
idly as may be done with convenience
and safety, aud that on the fourth day
of July, 1900, all civil and military
power Of the United States be: turned
over and surrended to. the people OF
the island of Cuba"
Senator Mason argued that the Gu
bans must be turned loose sooner or
later to govern themselves, and that
the shortest way for them to learH
self-government is to begin the prac-
tice at as early date as possible.

EIGHT DROWN
CLOUDBURST'
Deluge Of Rain Sweeps Down Upon
City Of Waco, Texas.
no WARNING TO THE VICTIMS
Downpour Was Incessant For Six
>fiours--Untold Damage
Done to Property.

A cloudburst, accompanied by q
high wind, descended upon the city of
Waco, Texas. at noon Friday and the
net result is that eight people are
known to have perished in the city
limits, and property valued at several
thousand dollars has been destroyed or
injured. The known dead are:
Mrs. Nancy Caudle, Miss Clara Cau-
die, Rosa Chapman, Emma Decker,
Thomas Capps, Frank Walker. Two
negro men, names unknown.
The downpour of rain commenced
about noon and was incessant until
dark. It was in the shape of a water
spout and the rise in the creeks and
branches was so rapid that it did not
give the inhabitants time to flee. Three
persons, two women and a man, all
colored. were drowned within hun
dred yards of the city hall. Their
bodies were washed into the Brazos
river and at last accounts had not been
recovered.
There were several people, mostly
negroes, standing on bridge watch
ing the rapid rise of Barron's branch,
when the bridge, thick structure,
gave way without warning, precipita-
ting them into the water. The number
positively known to have been drown
ed in the city limits is eight. Numer-
GUS reports of other losses come in,
but owing to the high water they can
not be verified. It is almost ceraiR,
however, that several more lives were
lost.
Searching parties started out looking
for the drowned aud helping to move
those who were in danger or distress.
Chief Prescott, of the fire department,
with his entire force, extended all the
aid possible. In the southern part of
the city, where the two white women,
Mrs. Caudle and her daughter, lost
their lives, the rise was the highest
ever known. exceeding by several feet
the high water mark of 1885. It is
impossible to estimate the damage
done by the storm, but it will be in
the hundreds of. thousands of dollars.
Incoming reports indicate that one
of the heaviest rainfalls experienced in
years visited many sections of the state
and rivers and smaller streams are
again rising rapidly. All points along
the Brazos and Colorado rivers have
been notified, and while much damage
may result from another rise, yet it is
believed that the timely warning will
enable those who live in the valleys to
fully protect themselves.
Reports from Bolton and Roc kport
state that the storm was especially Sc
we're in those sections, but no loss OF
life is 80 far reported.

VIEWS OF EX.CABINET OFFICER.

WiIson Says It Will Be Bryan and Nc
Kinley, and the Former Will Win.
Wm. L. Wilson, while in Kansas
City en- route from hot Springs to
Nebraska City, Neb., where he is to
be the guest of J. Sterling Morton, his
associate in Cleveland's cabinet, said:
"It is to be Mckinley and Bryan.
Mr.. Cleveland will not allow his name
to be mentioned, and Dewey will not
get an opportunity to see himself
voted down. Bryan will be nominated,
but the conditions are changed, and
the campaign will be on new lines.
Both sides have 80 many new condi-
tions to confront that the old tactics
will not do. I think the Democrats
will win. We shall go into the fight
solid"

CHICAGO WELCOMES DEWEY.
Amid Cheering and the Booming
of Cannon the Hero of rlanilN
Enters Windy City.

Amid the booming of cannon and
the cheers of hundreds of people Ad-
miral George Dewey arrived in Chicago
Monday. The special train bearing
the admiral and Mrs. Dewey, Lieuten-
ant Caldwell, his secretary, and Lieu
tenant Crawford, was met near South
Chicago by special train carrying
the general executive committee of tho
Dewey celebration and including
Mayor Harrison, President Charles A.
Plamandon and the admiraps son,
George Goodwin Dewey.
The admiral's train arrived at the
Grand Central depot, Fifth avenue
and Harrison street, six minutes ahead
Of schedule. time, II o'clock. The
moment the white moustached naval
hero was seen q roar of cheers went mp
from the fortunate ones inside the sta-
ton and was quickly taken up by the
thousands in the streets. Escorted BY
the members Of the executive commit
tee Admiral Dewey and Lieutenants
Caldwell and Crawford proceeded
down tho long platform and mounted
the steps leading to the driver, where
carriages were in Visiting.
Even under the vigorous pressure
of the police, the immense crowd
would hardly yield enough room TOR
the carriages, but chsered continually
and pressed closer. The police finally
succeeded in clea,ing the street, and
the party proceeded down Harrison
street for the auditorium annex, whore
apartments overlooking Lake Michi-
gan had been reserved.
Mrs. Dewey, who was somewhat ia
tigued from ; the long journey from
Washington, did not accoUpany Ad-
miral Dewey on his ride through the
downtown streets, but, accompanied
BY the special committee, Mrs. Byron
T. Lathrop, Mrs. Carter d. Harrison
and Mrs. Charles A. Piarnandon, went
direct to the annex. where she rested
until the arrival Of the admiral.
Never in the history Of the great
Auditorium has there been within its
walls sight more beautiful than that
revealed Monday night when the great
ball given in honor of Dewey was at
its height. It was the first time that
Chicago has had within her gates as q
guest distinguished representative OF
the American navy, the first time she
has been permitted to pay her tribute
of honor and respect to the victor .oi
Manila bay, and she utilized the op.
portunity to the full.
There was nothing wanting. It was
a decisive success from first to last In
all details, from the decorations OF the
walls to the reception proper which
was rendered to the admiral.

HANNA DID IT.
Defeat OF Mat Quay In Senate II Laid At

Defeat OF Mat Quay In Senate 10 Laid at
Marks Door.
A. Washington special says: The ef-
feet of the defeat of Quay promises to
be far reaching 50 far as the Republi-
can party is concerned and it is within
the bounds of possibility that this de-
feat will cut some figure in the presi-
Dental campaign.
It was with great difficulty that the
Republican leaders at Harrisburg kept
the Republican state convention from
denouncing the Mckinley administra-
ton in their platform, owing to the
allegation that Mark Hanna was the
direct cause of Quay's defeat in the
senate.

Were Expected to Make Firm

RUNNING FIGHTS ARE In ORDER
Efforts to Cut Off the Willy Burgh-
ers In Their Retreats Always
Frove Dismal Failures.

A London special says: All the in
terest in the South African war is now
centered in the running fight in pro-
gress between the burghers retreating
from the southern part Of the Orange
Free State. of General French's horse
men and the infantry of Generals Pole
Ca.ew, Chermside and Rundle. But
the British hope of conclusive results
is slim at present, the Beers escaping
unbeaten and having accomplished an
immense amount of damage. They
clung to their position as long ss it
was safe to do 80, aud they have slip
ped off to hold the next commanding
ridge through broken country, ad-
mirably suited for rear guard do
tense.
DISPATCHES from Aliwalnorth under
date of Wednesday, April 20, say the
Beers left Wepener 80 hurriedly that
many of the dead were left in the
trenches unburied.
: Commander Cronje is reported 70
have been killed.
According to advices from Bloem-
fontein, the attempt of the Beers at
Brandfort to get in touch with the
command at Thaba N'Chu was frus-
trated by force dispatched by Cen
eral Tucker from Glen.
A: dispatch from Pretoria reports
the arrival there of Lord Roslyn, -
an unwounded prisoner.
General Hamilton is using his at
most endeavors to cut off the Beers
who are retreating from .Dewet's dorp.
The Boer forces at Thabanchu are
not unlikely to make stand to cover
the escape of the conveys from the
southwark. They have laagers about
eight miles apart, stretching from
Brantfort to Thabanchu with base
camp at Smalldell station.
A report comes that q small force o3
British mounted infantry had brush
with a party of Beers ten miles east OF
Caree siding, who were trying to estab.
lish q connection between Brandtort
and the Boer forces to the southwark.
General Brabant, in fight with the
Beers at Wepener, had narrow es'
cape. General Pole. Csrew's advance
was much hampered by the arrival OF
artillery, which prevented him from
capturing Leeuw kop before darkness
set in, and enabled the Beers to secure
their retreat. Apparently Lord Bob
orts, with the commands in the hands
of younger generals, now has an e1'
ceedingly efficient army.

For Both Hanna and Mckinley.
Although bitter feeling OF resent
ment was apparent among some Of the
intimate friends Of N. s. Quay, after
the decision in his case in the senate,
it was not fully appreciated until the
return from Harrisburg Of Republicans
who had been there to help nominate
electors, congressmen-at-large and
state officers, says the Washington
correspondent of the New York Times.
Incidentally there was to be Quay
celebration, which was turned into .
funeral by the dismal spirit Of the
convention. Mr.. Quay did not show
anger, but he postponed his Hip
south, after he had announced his
purpose to take it on the very day OF
the vote.
A we'll known Pennsylvania in
Washington, holding 2 place because
he is . Quay man, spoke. with uncon-
cealed rage about the treatment Quay
had received in . Republican senate.
Gust to think of it," said he, t'thst
Quay is stopped because he was APP
pointed, when everybody knows that
there are at least ten members OF the
body who entered under cloud, and
one of those voting against him was
charged with having used improper
means to secure his seat. Yes, Penn
sylvania is Republican, but it has
been Democra tic. If it. were not for
the fact that next fall Quay will be
anxious to elect members Of the legis-
lature for himself, and 1t would be
difficult to elect Republican legislators
and throw the electoral ticket I would
not give biscuit for McKinley's ma
jority in Pennsylvania. Well see.
It's too hot now to talk about this dis
gushing outcome.
