 The following is the platform reported and adopted by the convention:
 1. The Republican Party of Alabama in State Convention assembled. again de clares it's unalterabie devotion to thu great principles of human liberty whici called it into existence, viz: The civi and political equality of all men with out distinction of race or color.
 g. In the practical application of thes' principles we have neither claimed nol desired the social equality of differen races or of individuals of the same race neither do we claim or desire 1t now and all assertions to the contrary arr without the slightest foundation in poin of fact. We regret the issue of rae, against race which is rendered us by thu Democratic Party as fraught with in calculable evils to our whole people which sows the seed of ruin to all ol our material, social and political inter ests, and which will if persisted in by that party. speedily plunge us again in to a war with the Government of tAf United States.
 3. We have not made a race issue ir the past, neither do we now make o; tender such an issue. What we demand for one man, we demand for all men without distinction of race or color, and we point WlIn pTluo anu COHHoSuC0 Cs every line of our political record iE proof of this declaration and we de, nounce the assertion that we have made it necessary for the white people to unite and act together in self-defence and Goi the preservation of white civilization" al untrue and an emanation from that self ish spirit which in the past demanded every thing for one race and was un' willing to concede anything to the other

ticularly exposed condition and the
chances of its being saved are

chances Of it's being saved are
slight.
Keeper Carson of the Tarpaulin cove
lighthouse, and a man named Robinson
saw the Schooner when 1t struck. II
was just before dark, and a terrlnc
gale was blowing. The schooner was
coming thru Vineyard sound from the
eastward, and was proceeding under
it's foresail, the gale being too fierce
to permit more canvas being carried.
Strikes With Crash.
The schooner tackled and tried TO
work into the cove for anchorage, bur
the wind bore it off, and as it swung
away it struck with a crash ledge
of rock not more than 100 yards from
the lighthouse. Carson and Robinson
were unable to lend any assistance to
the men on board the schooner.
The nearest life saving station on
the north side of the Vineyard sound
is at Cuttyhunk, twenty miles from
Tarpaulin cove. On the south side
of the sound there is a life saving sta
ton at Gay head, but that is too far
away to be of any service.
Keeper Carson had no boat that
could be launched and besides the seas
were so high that nothing but a surf
boat could possibly escape almost in
stand destruction. No lights were shown
from the schooner after it struck, and
no answer was given to the frequent
hailings of Carson and RibinsOn.
AS the seas We're breaking over the
craft it was not believed that 1t would
hold together until daylight+ 1t struck
in a particularly exposed position and
no vessel could be expected to stand
the terrible pounding on the Jagged
rocks to which it was subjected.
First Snow at Washington.
The snowfall at Washington was the
first of the season, several inches COW
ering the ground. 1t started with a
drizzling rain, which later turned into
a heavy, wet snow. The telephone SER
vice was seriously hampered. Trains
were departing on schedule time from
Washington, but incoming trains were
late.
At Baltimore, snow, wind, and rain
Storm caused an almost complete pros
tration Of electric light, telephone, and
trolley cars. A number of accidents
were caused by the heavily charged
wires but so far as known there have
been no fatalities.
With the exception Of few Western
Union wires to Philadelphia and New
York. Baltimore was cut off from COM
munication with the other points of
the country.
The Baltimore weather observer sent
out warning to masters of vessels to
the effect that a second storm is fast
travelling up the Atlantic coast.

American ships, except some cable In
strunents <nd machinery.
A selected force of men has been so
trained that today the signal corps Of
the army is competent to operate in
war emergencies a submarine cable OF
any length. The report says:
REPAIRS in Alaska are maintained
by parties stationed at log cabins about
forty miles apart, one signal corps re-,
pair man. with two assistants from the
line of the army and a dog team, being
at each cabin. The men meet the ter
rible condition of hardship and priy9-
ton uncomplainfngly and with a forti-
tude characteristic of American SOL
diers."
The report says the Nome wireless
station has daily and uninterruptedly
transmitted the entire telegraphic bus
mess of the seaward peninsula, 5000
words being exchanged in one after
noon between Safety Harbor and st.
Michael. The signal corps of the army,
he says, is regularly operating the
longest wireless section Of any similar
telegraphic system Of the world. The
annual business Of the Seattle- Sitka
cable is estimated at $4,000, and dur
ing this year there has been spent
s96,935 for Alaskan kilograms handled
by the signal corps.
Speaking of the Philippines, he says
the sixteen most important islands of
the archipelago are now connected
with cable. which lines, he adds, are
recognized as indispensable both by the
military and civil authorities. During
the year there has been collected and
deposited in the insular treasury of the
Philippines telegraph line, receipts to
the amount Of $59.8s5, there being, not
including government business, more
than 1000, 900 messages. The total 'ex-
pense being $325,516. The report says
1t is a matter of the utmost import
ance that signalling apparatus of suit
able character be installed at the most
important points along the Atlantic
and Pacific to permit Of intercom-
rnunication between the army and ma
w. It is strongly urged in the report
that steps be taken by the United
States to adhere to the international
telegraph union and that international
regulations to govern wireless teleg-
raplly in time Of war be adopted.

Grueber, "and in the same direction.

which must be returned. very greas.
We can but rarely attain the scha-
dule Of speed fixed for stock trains,
and there is the added expense of car
ing for stock which is on the road long
er than it should be-"
Grueber was closely questioned re-
garding the inability to run stock
trains thru on time, On account of the
density Of traffic, when, by his own
admission, passenger trains maintain
ed schedule of twenty-eight to forty
two miles per hour.
(Which is more expensive, to run
these trains fast or slow?" asked Mr..
Prouty.
"Of course fast running is more ex-
pensive on account Of fuel and the
wear on machinery"
He denied that the road saved mon
ey by this inability to keep UP to the
schedule, and said the trains run as
fast as required between stations, but
were compelled to wait at sidings and
stations for other trains to pass.

James Murphy Found Wandering
/ About in a Tamarack Swamp.
Duluth, Mimi, Nov. 14.-James Muir
ply, of Duluth, was found in tam
arack swamp, thirty miles north OF
here yesterday by hunters, wandering
about demented.
His hands and feet We're badly frost
bitten and he was in pitiabte condi-
ton. as the result of exposure and
terror over being lost four days IN the
timber while land cruising.
Murphy was unable to give any ac-
count of his experiences to his rescu-
ers. He fancied wolves We're after
him. His feet were so sore he barely
could totter along, and was without
matches or gun.
The half famished man was hurried
to a Duluth hospital and the physi-
clans say that it may be necessary to
amputate both feet and both arms.

ended the contest; but 1t gave LARA

If this had been done 1t is doubtful If
Sherman could have been nominated.
The information which comes from
Cedar Rapids to the effect that Judge
Reed Of the federal court decided that
the Iowa fire escape law does not apply
in the case of special charter cities,
has again raised the question as to the
abolition Of all these special charters.
A great many Of the legislators have
desired this and there appears to be no
good reason why they should not be
got rid Of. They have caused more
trouble than any other one thing in re-
lation to municipalities In Iowa.
The discussion Of the possibility of
Gov Cumimns being called to Wash
ington as chief prosecutor Of the illegal
combinations for the Roosevelt admin
istration has become the all absorbing
topic the past few days; but it is fair
to the governor to say that is all came
as a surprise to him. He has not
sought any such discussion. One Of his
close friends stated that he would not
consider such thing, but that he had
a duty straight ahead Of him in the
office of governor and In Iowa affairs.
