OHIO DEMOCRATS.
Johnson's aud ztmmerman's Close Race
 for Gubernaforiai Noniinatiou.

Columbus. O.. Aug. 2S.-The close contest between Mayor Tom L. John- son, of Cleveland, and John l. Zinmer- man of Springfield for the gubernatorial nomination has caused more interest in the democratic state convention, which meets here this week, than in any con- vention for years. While both claim a majority, the result depends upon the settlement of contests involving 145 del- egates. 5-
 These contests are expected to pre- vent two congressional districts at Cin- cinnati and one at Cleveland from par ticipating in the selection of members of the committees, so that the conimit- tee on credentials may have only eigh- teen members voting on the first con- test that is passed upon. With the cus- tom of taking the contests up in alpha beticaI order, that of Cuyahoga county would come first, and it would likely be dicided in favor of Johnson so that there would be 19 voting on the contests from efallia, Hamilton and other coun- ties. Besides the six contested counties there are threats of throwing out the Erie, Clark and Defiance delegations for irregularities. s .
 The delegates will meet by congress sional districts Tuesday afternoon and the session of the committee on creden- tials Tuesday night is awaited with much anxiety.
 The preliminary contests extend to all parts of the organization of the conven- tion. Johnson says he could not make the race on a Zimmerman platform, and Zimmerman says he could not run on a Johnson platform, so both are seeking a majority of the committee on resolu- tions. There is close watch on the comittee on rules and order of business, as Johnson wants John w. Bookwalter endorsed for United States senator be- fore the state ticket is named, while Zimmerman wants the senatorial en- dorsement to come after state nomina- tions, if such endorsement is made at all. '~
 Springfield. O.. Aug. 23.--At the close Of long conference in Columbus to- day between Tom L. Johnson and Charles Solon of Cleveland. and John w. Bookwalter of this city, the latter issued signed statement, withdrawing from the race for endorsement for United States senator before the demo- cratic state convention Wednesday.

Dynamite on the T,aohs of the Missouri
 Pacific.

Kansas City, Mo, Aug. 2S.--An appar- ent attempt to wreck two passenger trains on the Missouri Pacific railroad was made near Quindaro, Kansas, last night A charge of dynamite was ex- .ploded under the enginesof a train from St. Joseph and an open switch was placed for one outbound. The latter train was uninjured and the incoming train escaped with only the headlights and the windows of the cab of the en- zine shattered. The dynamite was placed on the track of a place known as Big Eddy. When the train reached Big Eddy it was running at the rate of fifty miles an hour.
 The explosion momentarily dazed the engineer and fireman and shook the en- tire train. When the engine was stop ped it was found that a large hole had been blown out under one of the rails and one-half of tie was gone. There were about one hundred and ten pas sengers on the train.

 PasFiot'a Son.

Rome, Aug. 2S.-The body of Menotti Garibaldi, the eldest son of the Italian
 patriot, who died yesterday. has been laid on a catalfaque in the largest room of his apartments.

Guiseppi; his brother-in-iaw, Gen eral Cansi, and his stepmother, Donna
 Francesca, have arrived and there has
 been continual repetition of distress ing scenes in the mortuary chamber. The moment was extremely touching
 when the dead mans brother, Riccioti, entered the room, supported by crutch and leaning on his wifes arm. He was
 profoundly grief-stricken and in a deep
 voice said: Let all go out. I wish to
 remain alone with my brother"
 Everybody left the room, leaving Ric- cioti to weep alone over the corpse. On coming out he kissed all his relatives and then said in tone of reproach:
 Why did you not dress Menotti in
 his red shirt? No one wore it with
 more honor.'
 Menotti Garibaldi did not leave a will,
 but when he felt his last moments ap- preaching he called a friend and said:
 T have nothing to leave. I only beg. of you to tell Premier Sanartelli to pro- vide for my destitute children During the whole of to-day a stream of people passed reverently before the
 body of the dead man, which is now surrounded with fresh cut flowers and the flags of the volunteers who fought under his command.
 The funeral will take place next Tues day at the expense of the state, all the military and civil authorities attending. Innumerable telegrams of condolence have been received. That from King Victor Emmanuel says: His majesty highly esteemed in Menotti Garibaldi a man, a fervent patriot, yalorous sol- dier and loyal friend.

BRITISH COMMENT.
Only Slightest Hope Now Felt for
 shamrack,s Chances.

London, Aug. "A. Saturdays race for the Americas cup receives an am pie share of attention in this mornings papers. Both in the editorials and in the dispatches from the New York cor respondents of the papers it is unani- mously admitted that the Reliance proved herself the better boat in a fair and scuare contest. Only the most slender hopes are entertained as to Sir Thomas Lipton's chances of lifting the cup. Great sympathy and adrlira- tion are extended to him for his plucky and sportsrlanlike fight.
 Little comment is made regarding the re-measurement episode, but satis- faction is expressed that 1t was Sir Thomas himself who discovered the ne- cessity for again measuring the Sham rock III.
 The Standard thinks that if there is anything to choose in the handling of the cutters the superiority does not lie with Sir Thomas Lipton's boat.

Ottawa, Ontario, Aug. 23s-The de- partment of marine and fisheries is de- 'termined to put an end to illegal fish, ing in the Great Lakes. It is the opin- ion in official circles that the desired end can be attained without resorting to harsh measures which might lead to international complications. Swift pa,- trol boats will be manned and placed at points in the Great Lakes where poaeh- ing has been carried on. They will be armed with rifles and seven -pounders, as all the patrol boats are now equip ped, but it is believed that with suffi- cient speed there will be no call for the use of firearms.

CONVICTION OF rHEHUMBERTs
Lower Glasses Reilevsd-An Appeal ,o
 be Taken.

Paris. Aug. 2s.-The result of the Humbert trial has caused a general feeling of relief, many. especially among the lower classes. having feared till the last that occult influences would succeed in procuring a verdict of ac- quittal. The intense interest taken in the trial is shown by the fact that the presses of the newspapers could not print special editions fast enough. The papers were quickly purchased and none reached the outlying quarters of Paris until late in the evening, when they were eagerly bought at three and four times their regular price.
 In spite of her defiant attitude when receiving sentence Madame Humbert broke down last night on her arrival in the cpnciergerie prison and had long fit ofFcryingr On recovering she ate a small bowl of soup and then retired. The men of the party. though prostrat- ed, bore up better
 Maitre Labori, her counsel, visited Madame Humbert this morning and found her still prostrated, but she ob- stipately maintained her innocence and denounced the sentence as iniquitous She and her husband will undoubtedly appeal to the court of cessation on the ground of technical irregularities. If successful in their appeal, which prom inent legal authorities think will be the case, they will be tried before another assize court, possibly at Versailles.
 Emile and Romain Daurignac will not appeal, as owing to the time they spent in prison awaiting trial the period of re- lease on ticket of leave will arrive be- fore a rehearing could possibly take place.

French Appreciation of His Ability

Parish. Aug. B. The death of Lord Salisbury made considera ble impression here. Although the late statesman had retired from politics. the feeling per- walls. here that his disappearance will contribute to strengthen the position of Colonial Secretary Chamberlain. which circumstance IS not thought likely to promote friendship between the two countries. The ability, prudence and
 moderation of the former premier are frankly recognized. though some of his sarcastic utterances are recalled. It is acknowledged that while he firmly up-
 held Great Britain's interests. at the same time he always strove to prevent la rupture with France and it is admit ted that the Fashoda incident would
 have been far more dangerous had any other statesman been in power. @

Aroh 10 camp From Crescent Beach.
 Camp Reynolds, Niantic, Aug. 2s.- Sunday passed quietly at the camp of the Connecticut Naval Militia, and. with the exception of guard duty at 7:so and infantry drill in the afternoon, there was very little duty required of the men. The weather was delightful, a cool breeze off the sound tempering the heat of the sun.
 Lieutenant Lyman Root. of the Sec ond division. Hartford, was officer of the day, and Ensign Robert Chapin was officer of the guard. Lieutenant Root arrived in camp last night with a detail of sailormen who brought a flotilla of small boats down the Connecticut river from Hartford The boats were in tow of a steam launch. The fiotalla, arrived off Crescent Beach about 7:S0 last eve ming and the detail then marched into camp, Lieutenant Root reporting to Commander Averill.
 During the day the men were given shore leave" In parties of twenty five. in charge of a petty officer, they visited the village of Mantle. aftarward returning to camp. The health of the camp is excellent, no one having re- ported at sick call.
 Tomorrow the real work of the camp will begin. The drill will consist of camp duty, drill with the small boats and work on the Elfrida. and three di- visions will alternate in performing the various kinds of duty during the week. As the anchorage off Mantle is poor it is expected tat the Elfrida will go into New London every night and return here each morning ready for the days drill.
 IA noticeable feature of the sailor- mems camp, and one which has been much commented upon by visitors, is the absence of intoxicants. There was no liquor in sight to-day, and the off, cers will sendeavor to make 1t a model camp in that respect, allowing no liquor in camp except at the hospital
