cast one ballot for the selection of MT. Higgins as candidate for governor. The motion was carried with a shout.
 The second day of the convention opened with every evidence that the contest would be carried to a finish. although no one pretended to have any doubt what the outcome would be. In the convention the Woodruff faction was exceedingly enthusiastic. But the only thing approaching a showing of strength was when his name was first mentioned in the convention. There was no slight anywhere in the proceed ings to Senator Platt save in the re- fusal of the convention to accede to his declared wish for the nomination of Woodruff. Every mention of his name was enthusiastically cheered again and again, and the whole convention arose with deafening shouts and applause to do him honor.
 MT. Woodruff's withdrawal of his name and his motion to make unaui- nous the nomination of Mir. Higgins removed the last evidence of discord from the convention. The remainder of the convention was of a more or less routine character, save for a speech of Senator Depew, who in presenting for renomination the name of Secretary of State John F. O'Brien took occasion to answer some of the democratic argu- ments in the speech of Congressman Bourke Cochran last night at Tam many hall

sonally directed the sailors in protect ing imperial property, and 200 marines patrolled the streets. A crowd of peo- pie who had rushed down Smith wharf found themselves hemmed in with fire on one side and the harbor on the other and all had to be taken off by launches from the warships. By this time the entire city had begun to real ize the gravity of the situation. At half past three it looked as if nothing could stay the progress of the flames from the main business section of the city and into the residential section beyond.
 Then came a shift of wind. By this time the government officials had as- sumed full charge of the situation, for not far ahead were the big ordnance yards, with thousands of tons of pow erful explosives. A party of sailors, to- gether with a company of royal engin- eers, landed and began to blow up the buildings. For an hour the entire city was shaken with terrific explosions. More than a dozen buildings were lev eled and at ' o'clock the fire had reached the cleared space, where it stopped.

THE YAVAPAI TICKET
Result of the Republican
 County Convention
The Only Contest Was Over the Sher- iff's Office, Ending in the Renomi. nation of Joseph I. Roberts.

Prescott, Arizona, Sept. 15.-(SpeciaD The republican county convention assembled here this morning and has continued in session throughout the day and evening. A large number of delegates are in attendance and if the earnest purpose displa yed in the con- vention is carried on into the campaign the breach made in the democratic ranks two years ago will be considera- bly, widened and the county assured a more efficient administration than it has had for some years.
 The keenest interest centered about the contest for sheriff for which there were two candidates, J. I. Roberts, the present incumbent, and c. c. Keeler. and a criterion of their relative strength was furnished in the tempora- ry organization which went to the Rob- erts element by a vote of 6S to AS. Up- on the balloting for the nomination the vote was, Roberts 73, KeeIer A. No further contests of importance develop ed during the convention, the harmo- ny note being strongly prevalent throughout the proceedings.
 The ticket is as follows: Sheriff.. I. Roberts. Council-E. A. Haggott. Legislature-Mark Bradley, F. E. Biles, Leroy E. Anderson. District attCrney-E. s. Clark. Treasurer-W. A. Cline. Recorder-F. F. Jordan.
 Supervisors-A. A Haskell, Jos Dougherty.
 Republicans generally consider the ticket a good one and will give it their hearty and united support and are en- couraged to feel that the chances of success are brighter than they have 1 been for years. \
 Arrangements are complete for the entertainment of the delegates to the territorial convention that meets here Saturday and it is certain that Yava- pal county's reputation for takir.g good i care of the stranger within her gates will be maintained.

THE RAVAGED ATLANTIC
The Storm Attacked the Coast on Sea
 and Land.

New York, Sept. 15.-A number of lives were lost. much property dam aged and several ships wrecked in last nights storm, which ravaged the At lantic coast. It was one of the fierc- est storms on record, thunder and lightning adding to the bowling gale which carried drenching sheets of rain over sea and land. Tonight telegraph ic reports say that the storm was swept out into the ocean and from the Canadian coast.
 The greatest loss of life was near Wilmington, Del. The tug Israel w. Durham, with crew of six men and four other men, employees of the Amer ican Dredging company. was swamped in the Delaware river early today dur ing the height of the storm.
 Eight of ten persons on little craft were drowned. From farther down the coast, Jacksonville, comes the report that five men were drowned off Charleston This report was brought In by one ot the coast liners
 New York suffered comparatively lit- tle- The wind and rain and thunder and lightning were terrific, but little actual damage was done. Nineteen coal barges went adrift in the bay and

THE LENA MUST DIsMANrLE.
The Only Question Concerns the Dis
 position of the Crew.

Washington, Sept. 15.-One detail re- garding the Lena case which has not yet been decided on is what disposition will be made of the officers and crew. As soon as the president hears from Acting Secretary Adee he will send his decision that the Lena shall be dis mantled, to Captain Berlinsky. The precedent is that the crew of the dis mantled ship shall remain in port where the ship has been interned, until the end of the war.
 Minister Takahara told MT. Adee to- day that the Japanese government had such absolute confidence in the disposition of the United States gov ernment to do the right thing that it was unnecessary for him to make any suggestions in the Lena case. When told of the decision of the gov ernment to allow the Lena to disman- tie and lay up at the Mare Island navy yard, he expressed perfect satisfaction.

A LOVER OF PEACE
Rather Than of the DrOsS
 of Silver or Gold
nr. Bryan Explains at Denver How He Has Been Brought to the Sup port of Judge Parker.

Denver, Sept. 15.-Wm. J. Bryan opene9 the democratic campaign in Colorado with a speech at the Coli scum hall tonight. By far the largest crowd assembled thus far during the campaign turned out to hear the dis tinguished Nebraskan and many hun dreds were unable to get inside the densely packed hall. Bryan dwelt at length on what he termed the policy of militarism of the republican party, which, he declared, was not influenc . ed alone by imperialism but that the strengthening of the army was as much for the purpose of aiding capital in enforcing its demands against labor as anything else.
 Bryan characterized Roosevelt as a dangerous man because of his love of power and warlilke demonstrations and unsuitable to be at the head of a na- ton that wanted to be great in moral favor and not physical force. "Yo.: ask me, a believer in free silver, how l can bring myself to support a man, who favors the gold standard. I say that l love peace and the gospel of peace infinitely more than I love eith- CT gold or silver"
 Bryan assured the audience that Y Parker was elected president, peace would remain in the United States during the next four years Bryan spoke of labor troubles and the conse ouent occurrences in this state and said the eye of the country was upon Colorado and the people were anxious to learn the result of the vote for gov ernor.

 State surveyor-Henry A. Van As tyne.
 Chief justice court of appeals-Ed- gar M. Cullen.
 Associate justice of the court of ap- peals-Wm. E. Werner.
 The unanimous action of the conven- ton in the nomination of Higgins was made possible by the withdrawal of Former Lieut.. Gov T. l.. Woodruff at the very last moment, as the conven- ton was preparing for a roll call called for by resolution of the Kings county delegation. At the conclusion of the secretary of the convention was about to call the roll for ballot, Mir. Wood ruff interrupted and made his way to the platform.
 "It is now obvious said he that the result of this convention is already settled and I don't want your time wasted in a roll call. I am a republi- can and you can keep me from a po- sition of command, but you cannot drive me out of the republican party He then paid a high tribute to MT Higgins and moved that the secretary

SAVING SHIFT OF WIND
And Dynamite Were All That Saved
 Halifax.

Halifax, N. S., Sept. 15.-A fortunate shift of wind saved Halifax from de- struction by fire today. Nevertheless the city suffered a loss of a half million dollars in the business part on the wa ter front and the progress of the flames was only saved by the dynamiting of a dozen buildings by sailors from the fleet and soldiers from the garrison.
 Between 3 and o'clock this after noon when the fire was at it's height and a fearful southerly gale was push ing it straight toward the heart of the business center, consternation reigned throughout the entire city. Shortly af- ter o'clock, however, the wind sud- denly shifted to the west and turned the flames along the wharves and warehouses.
 There the fire ragged on lower Water street, practically beyond control until o'clock tonight when 200 sailors with torpedo apparatus landed from H. NJ. s. Ariadne and the Indefatigable ard. with the assistance of 200 troops from the garrison, checked further progress by removing, with the aid of dyna- mite, dozen small buildings.
 The fire consumed six wharves, two coal piers, two hotels, a dozen ware houses and number of retail shops. During the fire a large tree fell, killing Flora Ring, 2S years old, and wound ing two others. The entire city de- partment was engaged at the fire Admiral Sir Archibald Douglas per

TRANSFERRED TO PORT ARTHUR.
1t is That Fortress Turn to Enlist the
 Attention of the World.

St Petersburg, Sept. 15.-The almost complete quiet prevailing at Liao Yang and Mukden is accepted here as the natural and inevitable consequence of the furious activity of the past three weeks. The view taken at Mukden that there is not likely to be a resump- ton of fighting in that locality for a month is regarded as most probably correct. It can hardly be expected that actual news will develop in central MannchUria for some time to come, and attention is now turning toward Port Arthur, where, as General Stoes- seis latest report indicates, the Japa- nese are gathering in strength for an- other spring at the fortress.
 It is taken for granted here that there will soon be news Of importance from Port Arthur. since the Japanese throughout have seemed to alternate tEeir attentions between the beleag- uered fortress and the Russian army in the north. It thus appears that it is Port Arthur's turn to keep up the ex- citement while Field Marshal Oyamfa is preparing for his fall campaign.
 Grand Duke Alexander Michaelo- witch, head of the Russian mercantile marine, has gone to Libau to inspect the converted cruisers there before they depart for foreign waters. The Baltic fleet remains at Libau awaiting orders.

LOOKING FOR RELLIeEReNTs.
The Probable Mission of the Boston
 Sent Out From Frisco.

San Francisco, Calif.. Sept. 15.- The United States cruiser Boston left this port tonight with no intimation of her destination being given out. It is surmised that she may have been sent to discover if any Russian or Japan ese vessels are near this harbor, as has been rumored from various sources.
 One report received yesterday stat ed that the Russian auxiliary cruiser Korea might soon be expected to call at an American port on the Pacific, and another story stated that Japanese cruisers were pursuing the Lena. Pos sibly the mission of the Boston is to determine the truth or falsity of the ,, reports.

SWEPT THE CHESAPEAKE
The Worst Storm Within the Memory
 Of Old Mariners.

Baltimore, Sept. 15.-Reports from points down Chesapeake bay indicate that last nights storm was unprece- dented in fury and long continuance For nearly ten hours last night and early this morning the bay was swept by rain and windstorm that for a time ragged more fiercely than any oth- CT storm in the memory of the oldest | Chesapeake mariners. The storm was evidently more severe farther down the bay than at its head. The storm played havoc with shipping in the northern part of the bay in particular The wharves at both Betterton and Tol- l chester were partially washed away, While sail boats, steam launches and | all light craft around Colchester. HaVre de Grace and Bettertoa were badly damaged. In many cases boats were washed away and lost.
 The steamer Joppa from Easton to Baltimore tried in vain to make land ings on the bay shore, her cargo list 1 cd and for hours she pitched aal rou- ed with the water dashing into her | cabins and drenching the panic strick- en passengers. She reached this city
 safely after several hours delay. In this city today one man, Wm.
 Norton, was instantly killed by com | ing in contact with live wire blown
 down during the storm.
