OLD LINE WIG STATE CONVEX

We shall give the resolution next
week. passed by this body, which sat
In Baltimore on Tuesday and Wednes-
day last. We shall. also, then make
some remarks upon the subject gencr-
ally.
Gen. William Lingan Gather was
President of the Convention; Col. j. C..
GWome and DR.. 5. +. Smith, Vice
Presidents, and John X. Longwell, Esq.
Secretary. 1t might, probably more
correctly be called II meeting than a
Convention, for so far as We know
there was 10 concert of action on the
part of the Old Wing party in getting it
up. There was 10 primary meeting
here to send delegates, and Col. Groome
attended not as a representative of any
Wing party here but as an old-line Wing
on his own responsibility. We believe
no other person was present from Cecil.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS

Secretary Mctcalf's first report to the
President Oh the situation i'll San Fran
cisco seems to hc an cminently sane and
conservative statement of the situation
Like the most official accounts Of great
disasters, it reduces the first excessive
estimate of the deathroll But it says
that it is impossible to ovcrstate the ma
terial loss involved. Secretary Metcalf
in his report to the President says that
he has finished the inspection of the en-
tire burned district and that while it
will never be possible to tell exactly the
number of dead. as many of the bodies
We're destroyed in the ruins. he thinks
300 will cover the number. There are
about LOO injured in the hospitals of
the city but of these there only Il few
who are seriously hurt. The admins
tration of the city, he says is excellent,
everything considered. and tho police,
the militia and tn regulars have work
ed well together. He gives full credit
to Gen. Greeley and Gen. Funston for
the excellent work they have done and
says that but for Gen. Funston prompt
and energetic measures. the cataStro-
phe would have been infinitely worse.
The officials of the Treasury Depart
ment have not vet ceased their expires
Sions of surprise and admiration ut the
saving of the San Francisco mint with
its $500, GOO, coo of treasure. II is said
that but for this the situation would
have been much worse and more com
plicated from financial standpoint
that it is But for the DIN that was
saved with the Mint Building. it would
have been impossible for the Secretary
of the Treasury to have transferred
S15.OO0,OO0 as he did. to the city to
permit the demolished banks to resume
operations. The salvation of the Mint
is attributed to the presence of the two
big artcsian wells that give the build
ing an independent water supply. This
supply was the only reliance when the
mains of the city were broken. 1t
raises the question whether it would not
be good investment for many large and
valuable buildings to have their own
water supply in a similar way against
a similar catastrophe. 1t is of course
unlikely that another earthquake will
speedily wipe out any other great city,
but n sudden accident to the city mains
with its resultant danger of a dreadful
fire, is thing to which any American
city might be liable at any moment
-
The question of the Presidential nomi-
nation has been put Squarely up to the
Speaker of the House and he side
stepped with a ncatneSS that is quite
characteristic. One of his home papers
came out with a boom for Mr.. Cannon
for the Presidency He was shown the
dispatch and ut first refused to discuss
