kentucky Republicans and Anti
GOebelites In Convention.

LOUISVILLE, July 1S.-John w.
Yerkes of Danville was nominated for
governor yesterday by the Republican
convention held in this city. A plat
form was adopted declaring the issue Of
the election to be the Goebel election
law. The convention adjourned within
three hours. There were some anti-Goe-
bel Democrats in the convention, but as
TO how many figures differ.
In the Shelby county delegation there
were, according to a statement made
from the platform, 10 Democrats. A fea-
ture of the speeches made was that they
all paid tributes to what the Democratic
party has done in the past, though the
speakers unsparingly denounced the
present Democratic state administration
and the Democratic legislature, thus in
dicating purpose to welcome into the
Republican party all Democrats who are
opposed to the Goebel election law.
There was no nomination to be made
by this convention except for governor,
as this years election in Kentucky is
an extraordinary one to fill the vacancy
in the goyernorship made by the death
of William Goebel
The convention was held in the Audi
torium. Many ladies occupied boxes,
among them being Mrs. w. $. Taylor

GENERAL WOOD ARR YES
Excellent Prospects For the Island
of Cuba.

of Cuba.
NEW YORK, July 1S.-Major General
Leonard Wood, accompanied 10y his fam
ily, has arrived from Cuba aboard the
steamship Havana. The general, being
an immune, had a white ticket and was
permitted TO proceed to New York, while
his family and aid, Lieutenant NJ. H..
Hanna. Second cavalry, had to take up
their quarters mt Hoffman island until
tomorrow afternoon. The general is un-
der orders to report to the secretary of
war to consult with regard to Cuban af-
fairs and will leave for Washington as
roon as his family is released from quar-
nntine.
General Wood, who looks in perfect
health, says that the condition of Cuba
Is such as to very much please those who
have watched Its gradual reconstruction,
that the entire island is in most tran
quil state and the gradual return Of pros
pcrity and the increasing confidence of
the people are very gratifying. There
are no more law abiding people than the
Cubans and the proof of it is found in
the recent elections, which were orderly
and yet aroused considerable rivalry and
some hard fought fights, though not Il
blow was exchanged or a pistol shot fred
anywhere.
The general says that the agricultural
outlook is growing better and better, and
the land under cultivation is now about
double what it was last year. The GUS
toms receipts are increasing steadily and
surely. The sugar crop this year is near
~ double what it was last year, the rains
especially having been favorable and Il
larger number of plantations being operat-
ed. The railroads are putting their road
beds into good condition, and they look
to do very large business within the
next few months.

ROOseyelt Receives,

OYSTER BAY, n. V, July 13-On
the breeze swept veranda of Sycamore,
his country home. Governor Theodore
Roosevelt was officially notified of his
nomination for vice president on the Re
publican national ticket. The ceremony
was so simple as to be almost informal.
Surrounded by the members of the COM
mittee on notification, little party of
invited guests, Mrs. Roosevelt and the
rest of his family, the hero of San Juan
listened to the address of notification by
Senator Wolcott of Colorado, chairman
of the committee. There was no attempt
at ceremony. The party simply ranged
themselves about the wide veranda which
commands a magnificent view of Long
Island sound, and Senator Wolcott prac-
tically without preliminaries of any kind,
delivered a short address. To this the
governor responded briefly, and then
luncheon was served. An hour was spent
in general conversation on the cool porch
es. and then the party returned to Oyster
Bay, where a special train was waiting
to convey them back to New York.

AMERICAN IHELEAD
Our Athletes Take Lions

WIN SIXTEEN OUT OF TWENTY.ONF.
Number of Seconds and Thirds Also
secured-kraenzIein of Penn
sylvania Says He Has
Run His Last Race.

PARIS, July 17.-Twenty-one cham
pionship contests in connection with the
exposition have been decided dursng the
last three days, and America can boast
of winning 16 and of securing 13 sec.
onds and II thirds.
Nine events took place yesterday, in
which the Americans placed six frsts,
six seconds and seven thirds to their
credit. They captured the 200 meter
hurdle race, the standing high jump. the
three standing jumps. the long jump,
the hop. step and jump, the hammer
throwing and the standing long jump,
and they did it easily. In fact, the IA
cilty with which the American athletes
carried of prizes finally grew monot-
onous
Three events were won by foreigners.
One, the tug of war, was not contested
by the Americans. In the 800 meter
fiat race, which was won by an English
man. Tysoe, the Americans took second
and third places. In the remaining
race. the 1000 meter steeplechase, they
failed to get place, Englishmen taking
all three. This result was somewhat of
a disappointment for thn American spec
tators, as they had hoped to see Orton
repeat his splendid performance Of Sun
day. Eight ran-three Americans. Orton,
McClain and Grant; three Englishmen,
Rimmer, Bennett and Robinson: Chas-
TAME, the French champion, and Dieh-
noe, n German. Rimmer took the lead
at the outset and was never passed.
McClain ran in close for two-thirds of
the course, while Orton and Grant
brought up the rear.

two Swedish rivals being utterly out
classed. The apparent unfamiliarity of
the latter with the hammer caused some
amusement among the spectators, not
unmixed with a certain amount of ap-
prehension, and once or twice the crowd
behind scattered precipiately as the
direction of the hammer showed tend
ency to eccentricity.
Flanagan was heartily cheered on his
longest throw, as it was thought that
be had broken the record, but measure
ment shows the throw to have been
three inches short. L. Truxton Hare of
the University Of Pennsylvania was sec
ond with 151 feet inches and j. C. Nc
Cracken, University OF Pennsylvania,
third with 146 feet.
The tug of war proved more entertain
ing than scientific The Scandinavian
team was composed of much heavier men
than the French. The Americans de-
clined to enter the contest.
This ended the days programme.
A. c. Kraenzlein, University of Penn
sylvania, has run his last race. He
made a statement to this effect yester-
day afternoon at the conclusion of the
200 meters, which he won so easily.

A TEXAS CLOUDBURST.
Town of Coleman Suffers Great Loss
of Life and Property.

COLEMAN, Tex, July 17.-Fifteen
lives are known to have been lost in n
cloudburst here yesterday. Ten bodies
have been recovered, but only two were
identified, Joseph Spath and John Foul
einsten.
1t is feared that many more lives were
lost in the valley below Coleman. The
cloudburst, which followed three days of
unprecedented rainfall, caused Ford 5
creek to burst its banks and rush through
Coleman, village of less than 1000 in
habtants.
Bewildered citizens, reused from their
slumbers, rushed into the streets and
were swept away. Many were saved by
catching hold Of pieces of timber and
navigating them into eddies formed by
the swift current, where they were drawn
ashore.
Spath and Fouleisstein managed to
mount their horses. They dashed into the
water and swan their horses to a house
where four little girls were screaming foi
help. Each rescued two of the children
who they took upon their horses. The
animals were swept away, however in n
noble effort to stem the swift current
and all Wore drowned.

NEW MOVE AT ST. LOUIS
Proceedings Begun Against Transit
Company to Revoke Charter.

ST. LOUIS, July 1S.-Attorney Gen.
eral Crow has filed in the state supreme
court quo warranto proceedings against
the st. Louis Transit company. the Unit
ed Railways company and the National
Railway company asking that their char
ters be revoked.
The suit is against all the companies
embraced in the st. Louis Transit conf
pany's system, but the prayer asks for
the forfeiture of the charters only OF
the United, the Transit and the National
companies. The other companies must
answer to show by what authority their
transfers to the St. Louis Transit COM
pany were made. But their charters are
not asked for, and if the suit is a sue
cess they will have the right to operate
their lines as independent companies, as
they did before the consolidation.
