Fog and Heavy Weather Encountered
 By the America.
 New York. Sept 24.-William S. Champ. private secretary to MT Zeig- Ter, who reached New York yesterday on the steamship Cymric. brings an account of the first stage of the Bald- win-Zeigler Polar expedition.
 Mir Champ accompanied MT Baldwin in charge of the supply ship. as far as Franz Josef Land. to assist in and bring the headquarters of the exposi- ton there. Everything was more fa- yorable for the dash to the Pole than Mir Baldwin had dared expect. MT Champ said.
 The America had difficulty with ice before reaching that point and was delayed ten days. Fog and heavy weather were also encountered.
 MT Baldwin has taken a large num- Der of dogs-420 of them-for the dash. Some of them are expected to serve as food for the men as we'll as the other dogs. Mir Champ intimated that there might be some trouble with Walter Wellman. who is conducting a polar exposition over practically the same route.

Conventions Held To-Day In Opposi-

 Philadelphia, Sept 24-State and city conventions Of the union party organiz- ed in opposition to the regular repub- lican organization of Pennsylvania were held in this city to-day. Promi- nent men from nearly every county were present at the state convention, which was held at the Academy of Music. For several weeks the leaders of the independent movement have been actively at work in an effort to accomplish fusion with the democratic party for combined fight against the republican ticket recently nominated at Harrisburg. This movement was partly consummated to-day by the union party naming Judge Harman Yerkes, who heads the democratic ticket, as the candidate for supreme court judge.
 State Representative E. A. Coray, Jr, Independent republican,, who was an active leader of the anti-Quay forces in the last legislature, was nominated for state treasurer. It is stated by the leaders of the union and democratic parties that within few weeks An drew J. Palm, the democratic nominee for state treasurer will retire from the ticket in favor of MT Coray, thus mak- ing fusion complete and clearing the way for straight-out fight between the regular republican organization and the elements that are opposing it.
 The union party city convention was held early in the day and nominated a ticket headed by P F. Rothermel, Jr, present incumbent, for district attor- ney. The nominees for the other places on the ticket are also the pres ent incumbents
 The regular democratic organization has named it's own city ticket, thus pre- venting fusion in Philadelphia, but this action has caused a split in the party and town meeting has been called for tomorrow night by number of influential democrats including ex- Governor Pattison, William +. Garrity. eX-Judge Gordon, ex-Congressman Me AIeer, and John R. Read, at which it is expected the union party city ticket will be endorsed.

SAMPSON GIVES UP HIS POST.
Because of Bad Health is Detached
 From Boston Navy Yard.

Washington, Sept 24.-Rear Admiral Sampson has requested the navy de pertinent to relieve him of his present duty as commandant of the Boston navy yard on October l, on account Of the bad condition of his health. Sec retary Long has granted the request. Rear Admiral Mortimer l.. Johnson, ,commandant of the Port Royal naval station, will assume command of the Boston yard on October 1.
 Admiral Sampson will retire by age limit on February 9, 1902 He could re tire before if he wished under the 40 years service clause on his own re- quest, or he could apply for retirement to take effect immediately on account of poor health
 However as naval officers generally take pride in serving out their full term, it is probable an extended leave of absence will keep Admiral Sampson on the active list until he is retired au- tomatically.
