Nominate John w. Yerkes for Gov
ernor to Fill the Term for Which
Goebel Was Elected.
LOUISVILLE, KY, July 17.-John w.
Yerkes, of Danville, was nominated for
Governor to-day by the Republican
Convention held in this city. A plat
form was adopted declaring the issue
of the election to be the Goebel cleo
ton law. The Convention adjourned
within three hours. There were some
anti-Goebel Democrats in the Conven-
ton, but as to how many, figures diff
fer. In the Shelby county delegation
there were, according to a statement
made from the platform, 10 Democrats
A feature 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 indicating a 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 the Convention except for
Governor, as this years election in
Kentucky is an extraordinary one to
fill the vacancy in the Governorship
made by the death of VIM Goebel.

CHINESE MINISTER
Discusses the Fall of Tfen Tsin and
the Best Plan for Suppressing the
RoboIfsou

the Best Plan for Suppressing the
Rebellion.
WASHINGTON. July 1.-THE news
of the fall of Tien Tsin was conveyed
to the Chinese minister early to-day.
He was deeply interested but evinced
little surprise at this outcome, as he
had looked upon the result as newt
able. He was surprised that any eff
fective resistance had been made on
the first day of the fighting.
Mr.. WI is remaining in practical
seclusion. He is anxious to get away
and get a most needed rest, but he
feels that he cannot do so while
crisis is on. When seen to-day he was
induced to answer the following di-
rect question:
Based on your knowledge of the sit
uation and familiarity with Chinese
character and affairs, how would you
advise that the present situation be
metz
The minister pondered for a time
and then said:
''The first essential in dealing with
the present situation is to maintain
calm in the midst of the present fever
ish excitement and to avoid hasty
conclusions based upon a multitude of
conflicting reports. To be sure it APP
pears that fighting has occurred at
:.Tien Tsin. But many of the most
vital features of this affair are lack
ing. There is nothing to show the
steps taken by the viceroy or the
Taotai TO maintain order and pre-
vent bloodshed. 1t is clear that Tien
Tsin is cut off from Pekin so that at
most this can be but a local demon
stration and not'one attrlbutal to the
government of China.
"The question is how to meet the
actual occurrences in China. The first
suggestion is to send great bodies of
troops and on that my position makes
it impossible flor me to express an
sopinion. But; this much at least seems
plain to me-that with any armed
force there should go also a civil Off
GER or officers, men of the very highest
ability and< intelligence. That would
afford an opportunity to learn whether
there was any need of fighting. The
purposes and the policy of each side
could be made plain, and there would
be an intelligent understanding of each
other before recourse to bloodshed."
The minister also emphasized the
fact that China did not want war, and
he pointed out that this attitude was
made plain, by the edict of June 20,
in which great stress was laid on
China's unwillingness to be brought
into contest with the powers, and her
realization that such a result would be
disastrous. The minister regards this
as the only tangible evidence Of
China's policy and proof positive that
China is against war at this time.

BIG FIRE AT SALEM.


Special 10 the Register
SALEM, w. Va, July ia con-
fagration virtually swept over Salem
this afternoon, business houses and
homes being licked up by the greedy
flames. The fire broke out at O'Clock
in the wooden mills owned by H. w.
Willis, from the oyerheating of the
picker in the second story, and within
thirty minutes seven business houses
and four residences were one great
mass Of flames and within few min
utes were heap of ruins.
The fire department was powerless,
there was no water in the water tanks.
The people, however, turned out in
force, and fought with heroism that
saved the town from destruction.
Buildings one hundred yards distant
caught ablaze time after time, but were
saved by the fire fighters. The losses
are estimated at $4,000, as follows:
Salem Wooden Mills, $4,000; Salem
FIGURING Mills. $4,000; Jesse F. Ran
dolph, livery, $1,000; Granville Davis,
livery, s2,100; John w. Carpenter,
dwelling, $3.50; M. H. Davis, dwelling,
$1,400; Dan Randolph. dwelling, 5000;
w. w. Jameson, dwelling, $500. There
were several other small losses.
This is the first fire of consequence
since the burning of Jesse F. Randolph
planning mill in 1891, the loss of which
amounted to $4,000.
Mrs. M. H. Willis had to be dragged
from her residence, adjoining the
wooden mill, and narrowly escaped
terrible death. She tainted. Harry
Wilkinson, aged Is years, employed in
the mill, was running the picker when
the flames broke out, and was seriously
but not dangerously burned, about the
arms and face. Norwin Davis was
overcome by the heat, and is in crit
ical condition.
1t was reported early in the evening
that two persons had been burned to
death, but at midnight the report
proves untrue.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
The Worlds Convention Continues
With ROundIcss Enthusiasm.


LONDON, July 17.-Although now
and then young ladies were carried
out of the crowded meetings, fainting
and overcome by heat, the enthus-
iasm marking the worlds convention
of the Young Peoples Society of Chris
tian Endeayor at the Alexandria Pal
ace grounds was to-day as strong as
ever. The delegates burst into song
to-day with the same boundlesss en-
thusiasm as heretofore. The morning
was given up to demonstrations of
the worldwide extent of the endeavor
movement. Anxious inquiries for
ministers whose names appeared on
the program were largely the result of
the delay in travel caused by the
burning of the steamship Saale in
New York harbor.
Secretary John Willis Baer, speak
ing of the growth of the movement,
said that the Christian Endeavor
badge was worn by more than one
brawny Briton from her majesty'S
ship Powerful in the famous siege of
Ladysmith Mr. Baer strongly de-
manded that arbitration between
Great Britain and America be made
compulsory. God may come and
seals may co." said he, "and boundary
lines he held in dispute, but palsied
be the hand and mute the tongue that
should again suggest strife and blood
shed between America and Great
Britain"
The Rev. Francis z. Clark, presi
dent of the Society of Christian En-
deavor, delivered the presidential adj
dresss. He spoke of Christian En-
deavor in the far east-''in progressive
Japan, in distracted China and with
hopeful beginnings in Corea.'
His tour of the world, Mr.. Clark
said, had convinced him that "the
Christian Endeavor tree would bear
fruit to any SOIL"
Describing the greetings he had re-
ceived everywhere, Mr.. Clark said that

STEUBENVILLE, o., July 1.-THE
completion of the Steubenville, Mingo
& Ohio Valley Traction Co. street rail-
way between here and the booming
town of Mingo Junction, and the be-
ginning of the operation of cars last
night was an event of Importance to
this city. 1t unites prosperous and
populous suburb with this city, and
provides frequent transportation facil-
tiles both ways, and is of great value to
the business men and theatres of this
place. The road is over five miles
long and it passes over the river hills,
in a backway route from which a view
of the country for twenty miles on all
sides, along the river and its hills, can
be seen with panoramic grandeur.
Much of the virgin forests stands on
these hills and there are romantic
picnic grounds in many places, and
springs with waters which have a
medicinal virtue. Altamont Park is
the name of the park being laid out. A
casino has been erected at the highest
point between the towns, in the centre
of the park for dancing and entertain
ments, and cafe is being erected. The
road is monument to engineering
skill, no grade on the hills being over
seven per cent. The equipment is the
most modern, while the power house is
fitted out with powerful electric ma
chinery Of modern pattern. The direc-
tors are VIM. H. Hearne, VIM. Lipp-
hart, F. H. Eick, L. E. Sands, H. S.
Sands, L. G. Hallock and j. H. Mckee,
and from this list is taken the officers,
VIM. H. Hearne being president; VIM
Lipphart, vice president; f. H. Eick,
secretary, and L. E. Sands, treas
urer. Messrs. Hallock and Sands were
the contractors
There is no doubt that the road will
be extended to Brilliant and farther
down the river in time.
