SHIPS EXCHANGE SHOTS
WITH LAND FORCES
Powder if Not Ball Fills the Air in
Mimic Warfare at Portland.

PORTLAND, Me-, Aug. 26.-At Ills
a large vessel, evidently a battleship,
came into range, and was fired upon
with one round from Forts Williams
and Levett, and three rounds from
Fort Mckinley. The vessel returned
the fire of both the Fort Williams and
Fort Levett batteries. The ship APP
peared to come in a short distance and
then stand off to a point opposite the
two lights on the cape.
General quarters. were sounded at
Fort Preble, the fertilization farthest
inside the harbor,i when the fire was
opened from the other forts. The rattle
of musketry was heard in the direction
of Fort Levett, and it was supposed an
attempt had been made to land men
from the fleet.
At 1885 a. m. the harbor near Fort
Preble was filled with launches from
the fleet with landing parties, and the
troops defending. Fort Preble, the ac-
knowledged key to the harber defense,
were firing in force. The firing at lao
was general from all the forts in the
harbor.
At 1:43 all the forts had ceased fir
ing except Fort gLevett. Another war
ship came in opposite Fort Levett at
Cushing's island, the divisional head
quarters, but soon turned about and
withdrew from the shore. 1t was sup
posed the musketry heard at Fort Lev
EFT was caused by a landing party from
this ship.
The harbor was filed with smoke at
1870, and when the batteries were all
engaged the cannonading was deafen-
ing. The smoke and thick weather
made it almost impossible to observe
the movements. A cutter and launch
from the ships was captured by the
land forces at Fort Preble shortly after

New Jersey Workinsman Escapes
While Four Men Are Drowned.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-During the
height of the storm today huge der
rick on the Central railroad of New
Jersey bridge across Newark bay from
Bayonne to Elizabeth was swept from
it's supports in the water, carrying
with it nine wOrkmen. Four Of the men
were drowned and several badly in
jured. At least sixty men were at
work on the bridge, at a point about
half mile from Tthe Bayonne shore.
The top of the derrick was $50 feet
from the water and nine workmen
were working at various points up
the huge structure Gustav Fisher, of
Bayonne, being on the very top of it.
Strange to say he was about the only
one to escape injury.
Fisher realized that it was impos-
sible for him to reach the bridge, so
he chung to thetrigging and fell into
the center of the channel When he
came to the surface he swan ashore.
Although he collapsed after reaching
land he seemed to be in very good

City Is Five Feet Under Wa
ter-Farm Lands Inundated.

| rMARYSVILLE, Kan, Aug. 25.-A
| cloudburst struck in this vicinity early
| today, causing the Big Blue river to
| rise sixteen feet within few hours
and sending great flood of water
south down the bottoms along that
stream. Many inhabitants in the low
lands were driven from their homes
and heavy damage to property was
done. One death by drowning is re-
ported. Marysville was deluged and
the bottoms were filed with water
from ten to fifteen feet. Fifty houses
We're almost entirely submerged, their
| inmates taking refuge in trees and on
housetops. Ninety five persons were
rescued in boats
The storm washed out the tracks on
the Blue Valley branch of the Union
Pacific for several miles and wiped
telegraph and telephone wires out, cut
ting the town off from outside COM
munication until late in the day. One
of the resc1ing parties was headed by
| Congressman William Calderhead. To-
night the river is falling, although
farms for miles around will be under
water for several days. South of here,
at the town of Blue Rapids, the Blue
river rose to within few inches of
the highest point of the June rise,
causing much damage to farm prop
erty.
A wall Of water struck Vleits, a town
of 1000 people, on the Vermillion river,
east of here, in the same county, driv-
ing the residents of the lowlands from
their homes. Previously the Vermil-
lion had risen four feet in an hour, and
today Vleits is five feet under water
All the stores and perhaps twenty-fi five
residences are inundated and the dam
age is estimated at $4,000. The river
is three miles wide.
1t was the heaviest downfall since
1883, and it left the Nemaha river the
highest for years. Many fields of corn
were inundated, the Grand Island rail-.
way bridge at Beattie was washed out
and several miles of track and half a
dozen of the culyerts on that road are
gone. Frederick Ivers, of Baileyville,
was drowned near that town, going
down with a bridge over a swollen
stream.

candidate for president again.

candidate for president again. He
added:
Let us see to it, as loyal Democrats,
that his mantle falls not on one I'M
worthy to wear it. There are many
able and consistent Democrats who
have shown themselves entitled to the
confidence of the party and the peo-
pie, and under the leadership of one OF
them the next battle will be fought.
May it be one in whose election the
true principles of Democracy will tr1-
umph, and in whose keeping the rights
of the people and the great principles
of our government will be safe from
all manner of assault, whether open
or insidiouS.
Conditions are fast ripening for a
grand national victory. The party in
power, evidently mistaking its success
in the past few elections to mean an
irrevocable vote of confidence on the
part of the people, has become AFRO
CANT and corrupt, utterly regardless OF
personal rights, openly defiant of all
law that stands in the way of party
purposes, and shown itself unworthy
to be longer intrusted with power. In
it's government of the Philippines it
has refused to extend to that people
the protection of the constitution.
It's open and shameless alliance, Of
fenSive and defensive, with trusts and
monopolies from which it receives and
expects to receive large financial con-
tributions; it's determination not to
permit the modification of single pro-
vision of the present iniquitous tariff
law what would bring relief to the
people at the expense of some favored
trust or monopoly; it's now apparent
design to fasten upon the country all
asset currency for the benefit of the
national banks and the encourage
ment of wildcat speculation, and it's
many other sins of commission and
omission have set the people to think
ing, and they are getting ready, when
the time comes. to administer a rebuke
that will be as efficient as it is de-
served"
The temporary organization was
made permanent, and w. H. Thomp-
son. fusion candidate for governor in
1902, was made chairman of COM
mittee of nine on resolutions. William
J. Bryan addressed the convention. He
eulogized the young men of the coun-
try and said that the hope Of the De-
mocracy rested in them.
w. L. Allen nominated Judge John
]. Sullivan for supreme judge. Mr..
Bryan seconded the nomination and
Sullivan was named by acclamation
w. H. Thompson moved the nominal
ton of the Populist candidates, w. 0.
Jones and e. o. Weber, for regents

was carried by unanimous vote.
The convention adjourned after
adopting the report of the committee
on resolutions as follows:
I'VE reaff1rm our faith in the prin-
ciples in the party as enunciated in
the last national platform at Kansas
City. We denounce the national Re-
publican administration for it's failure
to carry out its promises heretofore
made and its subservience to special
