George Fred Williams Turned Down
 by Bay State Democrats.

George Fred Williams Turned Down
 by Bay State Democrats.
 BOSTON, Sept 1S.-Acrimnny was not wanting for time in the Demo ocratic state convention in Fremont temple, but in the end harmony was restored, and the state ticket finally named was enthusiastically greeted. The ticket is as follows: For governor, William A. Gaston of Boston; lieuten- ant governor, John c. Crosby of Pitts field; secretary of state Willmore B. Stone of Springfield; treasurer, Thom- as c. Thacher of Yarmouth; auditor, J. L. Chalifoux of Lowell; attorney gen. eral, John J. Flaherty of Gloucester.
 It might be said that in naming Colo nel Gaston to head the ticket precedent was shattered, inasmuch as he was Eominated and then given a platform of his own dictation, Not unlike the famous conventions of 1896 and 1900, the fight was over the national issues in the platform. As man for man the test of strength was between Colonel Gaston on the one hand and Hon. George F. Williams, once the stalwart leader of the silver Democrats, on the other. In this battle Mr. Williams was utterly routed, with the predicted re suit that he is shorn of all power of leadership. The platform adopted is repudiation of the Kansas City plat form, for MT. Gaston refused to be the nominee if in any way the declaration of principles could be construed to in dorse those things most prominently advocated by the party in the last two nGtional campaigns.

 COLON, Colombia, Sept 1S.-The re- ports which reached here of a skirmish between insurgent and government forces near Mindi station are now learned to have been magnified No skirmish actually occurred, but gov ernment soldiers fired a few shots upon sighting insurgent spies moving between Mindi and Monkey hill. Mon- key hill is about one mile from Colon.
 The British steamer La Plata has just arrived here from Savanilla. She brings 1000 government troops. Fur ther endorsements are expected to reach the isthmus shortly.
 A dispatch from Panama says that Commander Potter of the United States cruiser Ranger will today place guards on the trains running across the isthmus This step will be taken in addition to the marines already landed at Colon from the cruiser Gin cinnati It is not thought probable that the revolutioaists will attempt to Autel -t transit on the railroad.

IN A COUGARS GRIP.

Four children of MT. Rodenberg, whose home is at Big Skookum, in Washington state, go to school at a public schoolhouse long way off. One Wednesday during the last of June these children, being on theroad home ward. were struggling along at some distance from each other, when a cougar sprang out of an ambush and seized the little boy who brought up the rear. This little fellow was the youngest of the party, being only six years old, and least likely to resist the beast, as that watchful creature seems

NEW HAMPSHIRE REPUBLICANS.
In State Convention They Favor Changes In ProhibitOry Law.

CONCORD, N. H., Sept. 1S.-Follow- ing the action of the party in Vermont, the Republicans of New Hampshire in state convention warmly debated the question of making changes in the pro- hibitory law. Those in favor of a change carried the day. The contest for governor was won by Hon. Nahum J. Batchelder of Andoyer, who is prom inently identified with the Patrons of Husbandry General 'Shephen Fl. Gale of Exeter withdrew before the nomina- tions were called for, and MT. Batchel- der was chosen by exclamation. No other candidates are nominated by state conventions in New Hampshire.
 The platform adopted indorses the administration on all points and favors the renomination of President Roose- welt. Illegal combines are condemned, and one plank opposes the indiscrimi- nate destruction of forests.
 The plank on the liquor issue adopt ed, which was opposed by the out and out Prohibitionists, is as follows:
 We recognize the unsatisfactory municipal conditions in many parts of the state relating to the enforcement of the prohibitory law. We believe that the best interests of our citizens de- mand essential changes in the law, but the details of such changes should be fully discussed and carefully consid- cred by the representatives of the peo- pie to be elected next November, with that end in view.
 We therefore recommend that at the next session of the legislature in January, 1903, all questions relating to liquor legislation be re-examined and that such laws be enacted as will more e1fectual1y promote temperance"

Mount Copperas Is Emitting Smoke
 ana SuAphurOus Gases. s BAINBRIDGE, O., Sept 1S.-People living in the Paint creek valley are alarmed over the appearance of smoke and sulphurous gases from Copperas mountain, which can be seen from this place. Ever since the first eruption Of Mont Pelee smoke has issued from the mountain at intervals, but only within the past few days have the smoke and gas become especially noticeable, and many attribute it to the recent erup- tions in Martinique.
 Investigation shows that the slate in the mountain has become hot, and some of it has become dull red from the action of the heat. The smoke is sues from the side and not the top of the mountain, and scientists will be asked to make thorough investiga- fion.
