 Convention.

Boston, October 6.-Frederick w. Mansfield of Boston was nominated by exclamation for governor by the democratic state convention at l:3O this morning. His name was offered as a compromise, following a conference in which James H. Vahey and Cor gressman Eugene N.

 It was agreed that the name of Mans field should be placed in nomin- ation, with the understanding that he will withdraw within seventy-two hours and that a selection of the party's candidate shall them be made by special committee.
 This action was taken as the last resort. following a disorderly session of the convention, which failed to agree on a candidate. after two bal lots

Worlds Copper Output.

From the annual reports of three German joint stock metallurgical companies, the following translation has been made by Consul General Richard Guenther at Frankfort, Ger many, of certain statistics on metal production and consumption.
 The worlds production of copper in 1909 aggregated s44,OOO tons (me- tric ton 2,204 pounds), which exceeds by about 1O0,OO tons that of the year before. The United States had the largest share, 49S, 200 tons, an incease of about 16 per cent. over the output in 1908. The world consumption of copper in 1909 reached 72S,8O9 tons, exceeding that of the preceding year by S5, 100 tons. The giant share in the consumption fell to the United States, which amounted to 3l8,900 tons, (against 2O8,sOO tons in Ger many); Germany consumed 179, 100 ,ons England 1O9, 100 tons, France 73, 100 tons.

Mca Die Fighting for Life Boat After
 Explosion Wrecks Vessel in Pacific.

Colon, Panama.-Seventy persons perished when the Pacific Steam Navigation company's steamer Chiri- qui plunged to he bottom of the Pa cific ocean following the explosion of her boilers. Tue accident occurred ninety miles from Panama, accord ing to dispatch received here from Point Jarachiue. The Chiriqui was being driven under high pressure in the endeavor to make up lost time, the report states. It was late in the afternoon of September 27 and the vessel was making top speed through a calm sea, when, without warning, a terrific explosion shook her from stem to stern. The passengers and members of the crew, about loo in all, were thrown into panlc and terrific fight took place around one of the life boats which few of the cooler members of the crew, under orders of the officers, started to launch. Before this boat could be put over the side, the stern of the vessel lifted and the boy began 10 sink, the water rapidly creeping up the deck. At least half ot the men were swept overheard in the strug gle.
 The report says that not more. than a dozen succeeded in fighting their way into the life boat. Some of the survivors claim a second boat was launched and manned, but the ma jority declare only one got away. If this is SO, the loss of life will be somewhere between so and 90. The Chiriqui, which was bound for Callao, Peru, was equipped with wireless but the swift sinking of the vessel made it impossible for the operator to even send out distress eall.

"GiVe Me Stage ReaIism!' He Said-And
 He Got Ii.
Detroit Journal.)

Frederic Thompson, recognized authority on stage realism, fanatic so far as actuality is concerned, ad- mits there are some few things in his particular province that he has not learned. He was given a lesson re- gently in the carrying of realism to the final extreme. The lesson was expensive. It cost S1 ,350. But MT. Thompson is such an apt scholar that he absorbed all there was to know on the subject in few brief moments. The lesson will not have to be re- peated.7 And for that both he and Thais Magraue, who was his teacher on the subject, are glad.
 Miss Magrane plays the title role in "The Spendthrift, the new Frederic Thompson production. The lady of the play has no regard for money ex- cept as commodity to be exchanged for motor cars, pretty clothes and the thousand and one better things which all women desire but so few possess; hence the name of the play. Several days before the dress re- hearsal Miss Magrane informed the manager that she would like to have a new gown or so for the opening, and Thompson nonchantly instructed her to get what she wanted and send the bill to the office.
 Busy with numerous preparations for "The Spendthrift" opening, Thompson forgot all about the mat ter of Miss Magrane's customes until the day of the rehearsal. Then his memory was jolted by the appear ance of several bills. The detail of these he made no effort to under stand. Paragraphs of descriptive matter concerning material and trimmings in which large, ribbon and 6ligree appeared with alarming ire quency,he scanned without thought. But the figures which followed these excerpts ot fashion literature made him sit up and whitle. Miss Magrane had purchased four costumes-a morning gown, and evening gown, a negligee and tailor-made suit-and the bill was just a fraction under sl ,35O.
 A few minutes later Miss Magrane was called to the phone to receive a message from MT. Thompson. This was it:
 Congratulations. You play the part-as we'll off the stage as on it.
 "When it comes to realism" he ex- plained to his treasurer as be handed over the bills, 'you've got to admit that Miss Magrane is n artist.''

Much Money is Required to Move the
 Crops of the Country.

New York, October Speculation lapsed into apathy today and prices vibrated within a narrowing range. There was an appearance of strength at times but the effort to advance prominent speculative stocks met with the same kind of obstacle in the form of free selling, as earlier in the week. The strength of copper in dustrials was based evidently ou the advance knowledge of the character of the monthly report of the copper producers association. As soon as that was published the advance in coppers also came to a halt and the wheat market fell into stagnation.
 A reduction of twenty million pounds in stocks of copper on hand made an imposing showing on it's face and some disappointment was felt over the manner in which that result had been achieved as was shown by the details of Nhe report.
 Deliveries into domestic consump- tion in fact, showed moderate fall ing off from the August total and an increase in the total deliveries being wholly due to the expansion upwards l3,000,00 pounds in the months ex- ports.
 Preliminary estimates of the weeks currency movement indicated an outflow from New York of nearly S4, ,000,0 cash, the loss to the sub treasury for the week was reduced to interior points by express rose to considerably over those of last week.
 The requirements for the crop thus far shown will be ul-I satisfactory. This showing is held to explain the cautious attitude maintained at the banks in putting put fresh credits during the week.

ThiFty-SIx Die When Battieship Barge
 Founders.

New York.-The death list in the
 battleship New Hampshire disaster when boat load of soldiers, return.
 ing to the ship from shore leave foundered of One Hundred and
 Fifty-seventh street in the North
 river was swelled when seven bodies
 were picked up and taken aboard the
 United States hospital ship Solace, making thirty-six known dead and five still missing. Fleet and police
 patrol boats are using every method
 in the attempt to locate other dead
 bodies in the Hudson river. In hope
 that the five missing men had over-
 stayed their leave, de tachments of sailors were sent ashore in the at
 tempt to round them up. Reports
 that the search had been futile deep-
 ened the gloom on the great war
 ship. Capt. T. 5. Rodgers, coin
 mandaut of the battleship, was bonn
 barded with information from weep
 ing mothers, sisters and sweethearts.
 The board of inquiry appointed by
 Rear Admiral Vreelaud, commanding the. second division of the Atlantic fleet, to which the New Hampshire
 was attached, is continuing it's work of probing the disaster. Midship- man G. de Chevalier, of Medford, Mass, who was in charge of the steam cutter which was towing the barge from the quay to the battle ship and who proved the hero of the affair by saving life after life-a total of 20-until he fainted from ex- haustion. was an interesting witness. 'I suppo,e there were about 100 men in the baige," sad he. "The barge didn't seem to be overloaded for the water was calm and there was good twelve inches of leeway between the gunwale and the water line. We were about 200 yards from shore when the barge seemed to tow un- der. I heard a shout and looked back. I saw that the boat had found cred and shouted for all who could swim to strike out. I was suffering from a wounded hand but in my ex- citement forgot all about that and plunged into the water. Orders were given to( all hands on the cutter to stand by the rail and pick up every man in sight" Chevalier had com- pletely recovered and was Justify when he made his appear ance on the deck of the New Hamp- shire. Although 50 fatigued that he could scarcely stand, he instisted on being assigned to duty when he was taken aboard after the accident

Japan Faces Cricss as to Copper Mines

According to Reija Kanda, wKo represents the Japanese government on mining and metallurgy at the re- cent Japarese-British exposition in London, the life of copper mining in Japan is at critical time, and any further decline in the price of the metal must mean the closing down of many ot the mines. He said:
 "The total production of copper in Japan amounted last year to about 1l4,0O0. 900 pounds, which is about four times that produced ten years ago. The five Iarg est mines of Japan produced last year as follows:

Regular Ticket Wins in Georgia.

Atlanta, Ga., October 5.-Hoke Smith was elected to the second term as governor of Georgia. Governor J. M. Brown, who defeated Smith t6o years ago and who was defeated for nomination in the democratic pri- mary this year, but whose name, to- day, was placed before the voters as an independent democratic candi- date, received majorities in two coun- ties only.
 All the regular democratic nomi- nees for state and county offices were elected. The socialist vote was in- consequential.
 Three constitutional amendments, apparently, were adopted by large majorities.
 Brown stated the night before the election, that the action of Thomas E. Watson and others in placing his name before the voters as an inde. pendent candidate without his authority, and announced that he would support the regular party nominees.

Mexico RecOYers Rich Old Mine In
 Sonora.

Bisbee, Ariz.-Mexican officials an nounced at Cananea last week, that the old Santa Fe Teresa Gold mine, one of the few actually lost mines in Mexico nas been recovered. It has been found near Curcurpi in the state of Sonora, Mexico.
 A vaquero or cowboy employed on the Curcurpi ranch while riding over the country fell into a hole few days ago, and suddenly felt the earth give way under his horse. In the next instant he found himself and the animal partly in hole. The cowboy noticed that an abandoned quince orchard was nearby.
 An investigation was made and what was found convinces the search CTS that the hole was the shaft of the famous old mine. The existence of the mine is recorded in Mexico's history, and states that the Span- iards who discovered the deposits of gold planted a quince orchard nearby
 In 1910 when Mexico gained her in- dependence. the natives drove the Spaniards from the property. For years it remained with the Mexi- cans who were later driven away by a band of Yaqui Indians. The In- dians kept possession of the mine so long that it's location had become a mystery to the Mexicans.
 In ascending the shaft an immense ledge of silver ore was found.
 Two skeletons were found at the bottom of the pit. The inner cham bers had been destroyed, the timbers having been removed which allowed the earth to cave in. The Santa Teresa mine was known as one of the wealthiest in Mexico's history. The Mexican government is making ar engagements to take charge of the property.

Mexican Police Make Many Arrests.

Bisbee, Ariz., Oct. S.-The govern ment officers at Cananea, Mexico, today made wholesale arrests of merchants at that place charging them with being the "higher-ups" in d gigantic smuggling scheme. The arrests are a result of the capture of H. D. Navarette, an American re- siding at Naco, who was kidnapped from his home last Saturday night by fictitious officers and hustled across the border and whose detention is now being investigated by the state department.
 The Canauea merchants according to the officials, employed Navarette and crew of twelve men to snug gle merchandise from the United States into Mexico. The defendants number among the towns most wealthy and promine ent resident in habitants.
 Judge Grijalba, of Fronteras, Mex ico, and the guards at the jail at that place were locked up upon the orders from the judge of the First Instance Lafuente because they al- lowed two horse thieves to escape from the prison.
 The thieves were wanted here and were captured about a week ago in the Frouteras country after a three days chase. The imprisoned officials stated that friends of the men fiber ated them, but Judge Gripalba, of Lafuenta, refused to believe their stories. The esca ped men were re-

COPPER WILL REMAIN LOW.
No Prospect of Rise in Price Says Dr..
 Douglas.

Stopper will not go higher. There
 is no reason to expect the metal to
 rise in price And all talk of a cur tailment of production is idle
 There is no way in which all the pro.
 ducers can get together and agree tc
 reduce their output. But there is
 not an overproduction for the world
 will buy, at present prices, all that is
 being produced" "
 So declared Dr. James Douglas,
 president of the Phelps Dodge cor,
 poration, which owns the Copper
 Queen and a number of other big copper mines. Dr. Douglas is on a tour of the Phelps-Dodge mines.
 Do you think there is any pros- pect of au increase in the price of copper in the near future?" Dr. Douglas was asked by Republican reporter who saw him in his private car.
 What is theFe to raise the rrice?' the veteran fnancier questioned in return. "Production is not going to decrease but, on the contrary, it is constantly growing. The world is taking all that is being taken out of the ground but it will not take any more at higher prices. Copper is now being used for purposes from which it was excluded a few years ago and if it should go lower it will be put to uses for which it is now too expensive. It will be used for roof ing and other things.
 Stopper can be sold proGtably at ten cents if its production does not cost more than or cents, and most of our mine owners claim that they can turn out copper at cents. As long as they can do that there is a fairly good profit in selling at 10, and as long as this profit can be realized will be mined and sold.
 "We hear talk of curtailing the production, but we also hear that the Miami, of Globe, will start up a shelter on the first of January The Ray Consolidated will have it's big shelter running early next year This means that during the next twelve-month the market will be glutted with cheap copper, for the old mines will certainly not close down to benefit the new ones."
 "Does the Phelps-Dodge company contemplates au early increase iA the production of it's mines?"
 "It does not tor there is nothing to warrant it. We began to cut down our output more than two years ago, when copper took it's sudden slump and we have not since resumed oper- ations on the former scale. Why should we?'
 The home ot Dr. Douglas is in New York and he visits Arizona several times a year. He was last in this in May. After looking over Bisbee and Douglas he will go to Globe, where the Pheips-Dodge peo- pie are heavily interested He will also spend some time around Metcalf and Morenci and will go down to Nacozdri, Sonora, before returning to New York.
 "This is certainly different from -bc old days" said Dr. Donglas. dancing around his luxuriouSly ap- pointed private car. ''I use to spend | lays and weeks travelling over this territory by slow train and stage coach, where I spend hours now"

AMERICAN MEAT IS
 WANTED IN GERMANY.
Butchers in Berlin Enter Protest Against
 Advance of Price Asked.

Berlin, October 6.-The SC mi-official
 North Germany Gazette publishes the
 reply of the minister for agriculture
 to the deputation of butchers, which recently waited upon him and pro- tested against the advance in the
 price of meats, alleging it was due to
 to protection.
 He said practically what the Wur-
 temburg minister for the interior
 said, adding that in respect to fodder
 there is an ample supply in the cOun- try so that there is no need to discuss the question of the reduction of the import duties. He stated, further that "although the price of calves and oxen has in many places, ex- ceeded that of the year, 1906, there Is no lack of pigs, and their price has remained within moderate limits. Over 50 per cent of the meat con- sumed in Germany is the flesh of pigs, on which the poorer population largely lives, and there is, thus, no justification for the statement that the meat supply of the working class is in danger. This is also proved by the circumstance that the cousump- tion of meat per head of the popula- tion is greater thaDit was during the previous year"
 The Germans demand that the i'm portation of live cattle and frozen meat from the United States and the Argentine shall be permitted. The German government, as is well known, imposes practically prohibitive re- strictions, which it defends on the ground that it's duty is to prevent the introduction of cattle diseases and of meat that may be injurious to its con sumers.
 Attention is, however, being drawn to the fact that for years very large quantities of American and Argentine meat have been consumed by the masses in England without having and deleterious effect on the popula- tion. It is also pointed out that at Birkenhead there are most extensive slaughter houses and cold storage i houses which have been constructed | expressly for cattle and meat coming i from abroad. The elders of the | Association of Berlin Business Men are of the opinion that these establish meuts and arrangements must be sub iected to exhaustive study by Ger mans from the technical, commercial, sanitary, and veterinary points of view. They presumably desire to convince the German government | that the English method of control ling the importation of cattle and meat is adequate in every respect, and then to urge that what can be done successfully in England can also be accomplished by Germans.
 They have, therefore, decided to request the corporation of Berlin to move at the congress of representa- tives of German municipalities that the latter shall, in conjunction with the Associated German Cha mbers of | Commerce, dispatch commission of to conduct an inquiry of the kind referred to.

Per Cent

"There are 42 other smaller mines in Japan producing an average of ], 100000 pounds each year. It costs these five large mines about 9 cents per pound to make their copper. The average cost of all other mines is slightly under P cents per pound. Therefore, whenever the price of metal in London declines below sGO per ton, the profits of theses mines are practically wiped out.
 "rhe opinion of Japanese mining men regarding the metal situation of the world is that 1t is in the hands of the copper producers of the United States. They believe that the pro- duction of copper in Japan will re- main almost stationary during the next few years and ultimately that production must decrease, as Japan's copper deposits are pretty well known, and there is not sufficient un- explored territory to permit more than d slight increase during the next ten years. They feel that cop per production throughout Europe must gradually lessen also, and that the producers of the United States will control the situation of the future"
