made In these dispatches that the in
surgents are many of them good re-
publicans and anxious to support the
republican ticket.
Barnes county, supposedly the hot
bed of the insurgent movement, will

made at the insurgent caucus of Tues
day evening to the effect that the dele
gates were wanted signed up and in

deal with "the other fellows" did not
seem to suit the delegates themselves.
Candidate M. N. Johnson, who lead the
insurgent caucus and is the leader Of
the disruptionists, is credited with CIV

When a number of delegates were
noticed in the hall wearing Sarles
badges, Mr.. Johnson advised his hear.

all like insurgent wings sprouting up

porary chairman and demanded Q
secret ballot. Several speakers fol-
lowed and objected to the secret bal
lot for the selection of officers of the
convention. The stalwarts wanted
roll call by counties, but compromise
was finally decided upon by having
roll call of individual delegates. Be-.
fore the roll call was finished, and it
was discovered that Williams had a
majority, an insurgent moved that the
nomination be made unanimous. This
was objected to, and the call proceed

After the speech of acceptance of
Mr.. Williams was delivered, Mr. Simp-

on resolutions, credentials and order

Wrecked.

Safely Landed.

Annotated Press to The Evening Times.
Winona. Minn., July 12.-The steam
er Quincy of the Diamond Joe line of
steamers, lies grounded near Trem-
pealeau on the Wisconsin side of the
river. Earlier reports of the accident
were rather exaggerated. There was
no loss of life. neither was there any
flre on the vessel. A few of the pas
senger swere taken to Lacrosse last
night but most of them were brought
to Winona by special train on the
burlington road and transferred here
to the regular north bound trains this
morning and continued on their Jour-
ney to st. Paul. The steamer ran
onto sand bar about 1890 last night,
the exact reason for this being un-
known. Jack and Jim Richtman, two
OF the best pilots on the Mississippi,
were In charge of the pilot house. The
shock caused the hull to spring leak.
The Quincy was quickly backed off
the bar, but it was seen she was set
tllng and she was headed for the Wis
consin shore. Before this was reached
the lights went out causing some con-
sternation, but the boat was pushed
close to shore, and by placing the
yawl on the shore side the passengers
were able to be taken off over the
gang plank. A number of passengers
brought to Winona were interviewed
prior to leaving for st. Paul this MORN
ing, and all speak highly of the con-
duct of the boats officials. The ladies
were taken off the steamer first and
then when it was seen there was no
danger of the Quincy settling further,
the rest remained on board until the
arrival of the relief train.

 Nashville, Tenn, March 2.-Distin- euIshed speakers appeared before the student volunteer convention at both It's sessions today and the eleven con ference meetings held during the at- ternoon were also addressed by not ables in the field of Christian labor. Tonight, despite a storm of wind and rain, the auditorium was packed.
 Sir Henry Mortimer Durand, British Ambassador at Washington; John W. Foster, former Secretary of State; B. F. Mcfarland, President of the District of Columbia Commissioners, and J. A McDonald, of Toronto. were heard. General Foster discussed the relation of diplomacy to Christian missions; MT: MacFarIand spoke or the IeIaIloh oi the student volunteer movement to in- terantionaI comity and universal peace; ana inc British Ambassador as lay man who has spent quarter or century in the East, made some obser- vatIons upon missionary work In that part of the world, regarded from iavman's point of view. He began by saving that, though missionaries in those parts are not always regarded with favor by officials, merchants and inc like, he took it that enlightened people understood that neither Eng Iand nor America will take her hand from the blow and abandon the field of foreign missions"
 He had found the amount of good done by the missionaries greatly in ex- cess of the alleged harm To young men who contemplate going out as mis- sionaries to the East he said: Do not be misled by love of excitement or ad- venture or by the glamour of the East. It has a wonderful glamour and any man of thought and feeling who has been out there will hear tho East a-calling for many year. But apart from the missionaries work. as, indeed. 6 great part of the work of every pro- fession Is a hard drudgery. To master an Oriental language as you must master it if you are to be of any use. is itself a labor of years. Judson used often to sit and study his Burmese for twelve hours out of the twenty four and as have said, 1t took him twen- ty-seven years to complete his trans lation of the Bible. That is the kind of toll you must be ready to face"

 There IS no longer any doubt that New York is in real danger of an ice famine. The first rise in the price of ice in New York went into effect yes terday. Last year lee sold for 30 cents a hundred to private families. For wholesale purchasers last years price of IT Ia cents has been changed to 25 cents a hundred with a rebate of 5 cents for the man who uses more than three tons q week
 Not in sixteen years has New York faced such an ice1ess prospect as this year. In 1890 there was a great deal of trouble and the whole country had to be secured for ice. Since then, how ever. the needs for ice have grown vastly and a famine Is much more serious matter now than 1t was then, according to the ice company men.
 Wesley M Oler. President of the American Ice Company, admitted yes- terday that the conditions were cause for great anxiety. He still hopes for a cold March. but If that falls. nothing can be done.
