in Republican Platform

Columbus, Ohio. Aug. 26.-The Re-
publican State convention adjourned
here to-day after a short session dur

Special TO The Telegraph

London, Aug. 26. a.m.-The Paris
correspondent of the Times, who had
been on the battlefield earlier in the
fighting, says he met a few miles out
side of PhilippeviIle, a Belgian officer
and the paymaster general of Namur.
who told him that the town of Namur
had been occupied by the Germans.
1t had been subjected to a furious
bombardment and the German fire
was so well regulated that the first
shots had silenced Fort Marchovel-
lette on the northeast and Fort
Maizeret on the east. Fort Andoy
also suffered badly and was almost
out of action.
The story continues:
THE Germans entered the town
without encountering much resis-
tance. Fort Dave at the southeast of
the town and Fort Wepion on the op-
posite side OF the Meuse and the line
of forts to the north still resist.
I'm spite of the elaborate prepar-
ations with wire entanglements
through which was passed an elect
rlcal current of 1,5OO volts, and the
liberal use of broken glass, Namur
fell into the hands of the Germans
on Sunday.
THE, Relgians evacuated the town
in an orderly manner. All rolling
stock and motor cars were removed
and the stationmaster left on the last
locomotive with the railway cash box
under his arm. The Belgian troops
numbering about 5000 passed under
the protection of a French cavalry
screen, within the French lines"

cific coast, is to become more and

This change in the medium of eX-
change, say the bankers, will result
from the establishment of a federal

the banks will be able to keep sup

Already the banks of San Francis
