Independence League Convention
Nominations in New York City.
i
LS. CHANLER IN SECOND PLACE
Candidate Cheered For Thirty-five
Minutes When Followers Call
Him Up For Speech?No Dickering
With Other Party.
New York City.?The convention
of the Independence League at Carnegie
Hall nominated William Randolph
Hearst for Governor, a full
State ticket, adopted a resolution re,
fusing to fuse with the Democrats
and gave Candidate Hearst a wildly
enthusiastic reception.
The business of the convention
was transacted in less than fortyfive
minutes, and the rest of the
time, more than two hours, was used
,up in cheering and speechmaking.
Carnegie Hall was packed to the
doors, to the limit of the law, and
the police under Inspector Walsh
turned away hundreds of people
who wanted to get a look.
The adoption unanimously of the
resolution to turn down the proposition
of Norman E. Mack, William J.
Connors and the other Democrats
who wanted the Independence League
to nominate Hearst only and keep
;v.,\ the ticket clear for a dicker with the
Buffalo convention, was the biggest
thing which the convention produced.
Max F. Ihmsen, Clarence J.
Shearn and others of the Hearst
leaders who wanted to trade for support
with the regular Democratic
convention, were overwhelmed by
the sentiment for a straight ticket
and a purely independent fight.
The following is the ticket nomgj*
'inated: '
For Governor?William Randolph
Hearst, of New York.
For Lieutenant-Governor?Lewis
Stuyvesant Chanler, of Dutchess.
For Secretary of State?John S.
1 ,?Yuaieu, ui iuuuiuc.
For Treasurer?George A. Fuller,
of Jefferson.
For Controller?C. H. W. Auel, of
Erie.
For State Engineer ? Frank L.
Getman, of Tompkins.
For Attorney-General?John Ford,
of New York.
The convention, which was attended
by 1611 delegates and their alternates,
was in session two days and
two nights.
The two sessions held on the first
day?one in the afternoon and one
in the evening?were remarkable in
.the history of State conventions.
Both were characterized by a hearty
co-operation on all sides in the important
work on hand. After temporary
organization in the afternoon
the convention adjourned until 8 p.
m., when the permanent organization
.was effected.
A platform was adopted which embraces
all the cardinal principles of
' thew League, and then adjournment
was taken.
It was not until ? o ciock p. m., at
the. final session of the convention,
that Judge Seabury, the permanent
chairman, called the delegates to order
and there had been a solid hour
and a half of the most deafening din
!? ever heard in a State convention.
Tin horns, hundreds of cowbells and
all kinds of noise-making things
added to the uproar.
Clarence J. Shearn, Mr. Hearst's
lawyer, was recognized the instant
the convention met to present the
report of the committee on platform
g and resolutions. This was the matter
uppermost in the minds of all
delegates, for it dealt with the reply
to be made to the proposition for fusion
with the Democrats made by
Norman E. Mack, W. J. Conners and
others. Mr. Shearn read the reply,
which the Committee on Resolutions
had drafted during the afternoon.
The resolution rejecting the proposal
to postpone nominations was
put before the convention at two
minutes past 9.
At 9.07 Clarence J. Shearn, chairman
of the Committee on Resolutions,
which had also been made the
Committee on Nominations, announced
that the committee unani
moualy recommended the nomination
;of Mr. Hearst for Governor, and the
first great storm of applause of the
night was let loose.
In rapid succession the remaining
candidates were named, with prolonged
cheering for each man.
! Mr. Shearn moved the adoption of
the committee's report as a whole,
and Henry A. Powell, of Brooklyn,
in an eloquent address, seconded the
nomination.
, The entire ticket was placed in
nomination by acclamation, and after
that the convention resolved itgelf
into a tumultuous ratification
meeting.
It was at seven minutes to 10 that
(Mr. Powell, after Mr. Hearst's nomination
had been made by acclama
tion, moved the appointment of a
h committee to bring Mr. Hearst into
the convention. The motion was carried
unanimously, and, at two minutes
to 10 o'clock, Mr. Hearst entered
the hall, the band playing "Hail to
the Chief," and the entire convention
rising to welcome him.
' #Next to the adoption of the antifusion
resolution the reception given
to Mr. Hearst by the 1600 and odd
,ahouters was the interesting feature
of the final session.

dian Waters Available?Orders
Direct From Oyster Bay.
Washington. D. C. ? President
Roosevelt's policy of preparedness
for any emergency in Cuba, so far as
the immediate operation of war vessels
is concerned, was announced at
the State Department.
It includes the sending to Havana
of the protected cruiser Denver and
the ordering of the gunboat Marietta
to Cienfuegos. The cruiser Des
Moines will remain at Key West until
further orders.
In making public these facts Acting
Secretary of State Bacon said
that there was no disposition on the
part of this Government to make a
demonstration in Cuban waters, but
that the insurrection had attained
such proportions it had become necessary
to take steps for the nrotection
of American interests in Cuba.
The department believes chat for
the present the Denver will be sufflcient
for all needs along the northern
coast of Cuba and the Marietta
for the southern coast.
The exchange of messages between
I the State Department and Mr. Sleep
er, Charge at Havana, ana otner
American representatives in Cuba,
which are supposed to have told of
conditions requiring that prompt action
be taken to safeguard Americans
and their property, will^not be
discussed by officials of either the
State or Navy Departments.
It is admitted, however, that all
these messages have been forwarded,
upon their receipt, to President j
Roosevelt at Oyster Bay, who for
several weeks has personally directed
the policy of the United States
concerning the Cuban outbreak.
In spite of the sudden activity of
thi3 Government it is declared that
there is no intention to take any
part in the conflict beyond that demanded
by the critical situation in
which Americans have been placed
in the island. That the President
has considered the ultimate possibility
of intervention or at least the use
of force in safeguarding the interests
of this Government there can
be no doubt.
This is shown by the fact that the
Navy Department has been called
upon for a statement of the number
of marines that might be available
in the event of trouble. There are
betwwen 600 and 700 marines now
in the vicinity of the West Indies.
They are scattered through Santo
Domingo, Porto Rico and Culebra
Islands, and some are on ihe Isthmus
of Panama. There are 300 marines
on tne uixie aiuue.
The cruiser Columbia has just arrived
at the naval station, Guantanamo,
where she landed 100 marines
to take the place.of an equal number
who have long seen service there
and will now be given sick leaves.
XORTH RIVER TUXXEL THROUGH
Engineers Take Trip to Celebrate
the Connecting of States.
New York City.?A party of 100
engineers connected with the Pennsylvania
Railroad's terminal work in
this city and on the Jersey shore
passed through the new tunnel from
Weehawken to Manhattan. At the
line dividing the States of New York
and New Jersey, far under the bed
of the North River, there was speech
making and cheering over the completion
of the first link on the chain
that is to bind New York more
closely to the rest of the country.
The excursion signalized the completion
of one of the great tubes
through which trains are to be run.
The outer shell of the tunnel is all in
place. The interior work remains to
be done. The trip of the engineers
was made in an air pressure of twenty-eight
pounds to the square inch,
the bottom of the tunnel was deep
with mud and water and the temperature
was something awful, but the
untoward condition did not affect i
the enthusiasm of the excursionists. I
An hour after entering the tunnel
in New Jersey the party came out on
the New York side at Twelfth avenue
and Thirty-third street.
ZION CITY OWES $0,123,018.
Receiver Reports That the Assets Aggregate
$2,528,481.
Chicago.-?John C. Hately, who
was appointed receiver of Zion City
pending the litigation in the Federal
courts, filed his first report in the
court. He declares that the liabilities
of the city aggregate $6,125,018.
The quick assets are estimated at |
$372,054, and the slow assets at j
$2,156,427.
The receiver declares that he ex- i
perienced considerable difficulty in |
arriving at the amount of the assets
and liabilities, as np general set of
books was kept, and there were thirty-two
different sets of accounts,
which he was compelled to examine.
Clover Hay Scarce.
Clover hay is scarce and is bringing
extra prices on the Western
wagon market, with small prospects
of any immediate decrease.
Scarcity of Labor.
Scarcity of labor is an important
trade influence, restricting produc- ;
tion of factories and causing delays |
in harvesting of crops.
Both Duelists Killed.
Lee W. Hicks, until recently a prominent
stockman in Macon, Ga., and
J. M. Higginbotham, a contractor,
fought a duel with pistols on the
platform of a car at Brooksville as
the train was leaving the station and
both men were killed.

Zenaide Konoplianikoyo, the girl
who assassinated Russian General
Mien, was executed in the Schluesselburg
prison at St. Petersburg.

free-for-all-trotters at the Pittsburg
matinee races.
The Joy, owned by W. H. Childs,

Pino Guerra Rejects Armistice
by Renewed Activity.

IrtFVLd J UHN Ut MAKIIIICt
Government Forces Unable to Cope
With Rebel Chief, Who Demands
New Elections to Get Rid of
President Palma.
Havana, Cuba. ? All peace overtures
were blocked by the refusal of
Pino Guerra, the insurgent leader in
Pinar del Rio Province, to enter into
an arrangement for an armistice.
Guerra's answer to the Government's
announcement of its readiness to
grant an armistice was the blowing
up of two bridges on the Western
Railway, an English company, the
cutting of railway communication beyond
Pinar del Rio City, and an attack
on San Juan de Martinez. San
Juan de Martinez is in the hands of
the insurgents and the garrison, consisting
of 100 Government recruits
and a small force or mounted rural
guards, has been defeated or captured.
The fact that other leaders of the
insurrection are willing to agree to
an armistice can have little effect so
long as Guerra is determined to prosecute
the war, and there is slight
doubt in any quarter that Guerra can
control the situation in his region.
His force is reported by all those who
have visited him recently as ranging
from 3000 to 4000 men, all of them
well mounted and some well and others
indifferently armed.
The Government force opposed to
him, which is under command of
Colonel Avalos, comprises about 1000
men. It was reinforced by Lieutenant-Colonel
Clews with 150 men and
three machine guns from Havana.
Colonel Avalos' forces, with the exception
of small detachments left at
San Juan de Martinez and San Luis,
is tip Pinar del Rio City, but is without
means of transportation to go to
the relief of San Juan de Martinez.
Not more than 400 are mounted.
General Meenocal said that (juerra
evidently had not been informed
that the Government had actually, although
informally, granted an armistice,
adding that a second committee
had been sent to him. The fact
is, however, that Guerra refuses, point
blank to accept an armistice except
on conuition that the last elections
for*President and Congress shall be
annulled. That the Government
should consent to this is out of the
question, and soevery prospect points
to the continuance of the v/ar.
In connection with Pino Guerra's
attitude it is notable that the Liberals
have grown more independent.
They say that on account of the Government's
surveillance and persecutions
they will no longer hold meetings,
and that it is useless to consider
peace under the circumstances.
All regard the blowing up of an
English company's railroad bridge
as a serious matter and likely to invite
international action by Great
Britain, or at least an interrogation
of the Government at Washington
by Great Britain as to whether the
former intends to intervene to end
war conditions in Cuba.
MEAT PACKERS CAPITULATE.
Will Label Their Products by October
1, as Required by Law.
Washington, D. C.?After numerous
conferences between Secretary
Wilson, Dr. Melvin, Chief of the Bu*reau
of Animal Industry, and about
forty representatives of the various
meat packing houses, the problems
which have arisen over the question
of labels which, under the law must
be put upon meatproducts, have been
settled to the satisfaction of all concerned.
What probably was the last
conference was held at the Department
of Agriculture, and the packers
announced that they would prepare
the labels by October 1, when the law
goes int^ effect.
Throughout the discussions Secretary
Wilson stood for labels which
would state exactly what the package
contained, and this the packers finally
have accepted, although by way of
compromise the Secretary did not insist
upon the percentages of different
me^ts contained in any canned article
put out under one name.
GOVERNOR PARDEE BEATEN.
Palls of Rcnomination Because of
Course in 'Frisco Disaster.
Santa Cruz, Cal. ? Congressman
James N. Gillette, of Eureka, was
nominated for Governor by the Republican
convention on the first ballot,
receiving 591% votes, to 233 %
votes for the present Governor, Geo.
C. Pardee.
Governor Pardee's general indecision
in the San Francisco disaster and
his refusal to yield to the request of
the citizens and recall the State militia
is regarded as having brought
about his defeat. The platform give9
sincere thanks to all who aided San
Francisco in her time of need. It
asks the enactment by Congress of
an amendment to the existing tariff
law as a measure of relief for San
Francisco, that for a period of three
years all building material be admitted
into the port of San Francisco
free of duty.
OPPOSES JOINT STATEHOOD.

New Mexico, and would prefer to remain
a Territory forever than to have

Moscow, Russia.?There was i

even the shares of the great Brians^

had been steadily declining on account
of strikes, incendiarism anc
rioting.
An important conference between
Dmitri Shipoff, Count Hayden, Michael
Stakovich and other prominenl
members of the Peaceful Regenerationist
party will be held to discuss
the new developments in the Octobrist
party.
Taking advantage of the withdrawal
of Count Hayden and others, th(
reactionist wing has started a campaign
to capture the organization and
turn it against the constitutional
movement. The more progressive
leaders now are considering a thorough
review of the Octobrlst prograninstead
of the creation of a ne\*
party.
The leaders secretly hope, it is asserted,
that the radical Constitutional
Democrats will be victorious at the
approaching elections for Parliament
swing the party over to the Left, anc
thus make room for a combination
of Moderate Liberals.
From members of the Zemstvc
Congress now in session here it is
learned that many landlords favoi
abandoning their present estates ir
the thickly settled provinces in exchange
for tracts in the Urals anc
Siberia.
St. Petersburg.?The firm note
struck by Premier Stolypin in tho official
communication embodying the
whole Government program with its
warning to Terrorists and Revolutionists,
on one hand, that crime musi
and would be suppressed at any cost
and to the Reactionists, especially
the court camarilla, on the othei
hand, that reforms could neither be
abandoned nor deferred, met with ?
prompt response on the Bourse
where prices were not merely firm
but were strong, without any symptoms
of artificial support.
'4,HUNGRY
FOR LEARNING.
Students Will Not Oppose Opening ol
Universities.
St. Petersburg.?At a meeting ol
Social Democratic and Social Revolutionist
university students it was
decided not to oppose the reopening
of the universities, which is scheduled
for October 14, thereby furnishing
a strong possibility that the paralysis
of the educational life of the
country, which has lasted for twe
school years, may soon be ended.
Many revolutionary students favored
abandoning entirely the obstructive
attitude, re-entering the
universities and resuming their studies
instead of making the universities
"fatvinlfth f at? +V*a rairnl nh'nnn rv m r>VA.
1U1 VUU * vfViUUVMU,*.; v.
ment," which was the motive behind
the short and fruitless resumption ol
work in the universities last year.
Among the student masses ther<
has grown up a feeling of resentmenl
against the tactics which are depriv
ing them of education and a determ
ination to resume studies regardless
of any strike decisions.

After the desperadoes had made

of the bank showed $500

that $10,000 was missing. In tho

all the offers of amnesty with

placate the Liberals. Nor did Presi3

i Men high in the councils of the op

i HAY FEVER
"Having used Peruna for catarrh and
. hay fever, I can recommend it to all who
are suffering u itk the above diseases. 1
am happy to be able to say it has helped
me wonderfully." 4
( ^ ?Mayrn^ E. Smith,
mis a ma
JtJtJt E. Mound Street, Columbus, Ohio.
HAY FEVER is endemic catarrh. It is
caused by some irritating substance ia
tue atmosphere during the late summer ?
months. It is generally thought that the
ponea 01 certain weecw ana nowers is tne \
cause of it.
Change of locality seems to be the only,
rational cure. The use of Peruna, bowever,
stimulates the netrous system to resist
the effect of the poisonous emanations
and sometimes carries the victim through,
the hay fever season without an attack of
the disease.
A large number of people rely upon Feruna
for this purpose, Ihose who do not
find it convenient to change their location
to avoid Jtajr Fever woulcfdo well to give
Peruna a trial. It has proven pf priceless
value to many people.
. Prices of Rare Books. "
A careful perusal , of "Auction
Prices of Books" illustrates the great
advance in prices of certain classes
of books and the decline of certain
others. .. ^ \ ..
The most remarkable advance in
the forty years covered is to be shown
in two classes of books?what is
technically called Americana and
first editions in immaculate condition
of what the world has accepted as famous
books.
Another kind of book has shown
great advance during this period, and
. that is technically called provenance,
because it formerly belonged to a
distinguished person or was a presentation
copy by a famous author.
The most notable decline is evident '
in what may be termed typographi
il. nn/t T oHn
cm mouuiueilldy lUC uicurv. auu uauu
classics and books in poor condition f
printed at famous presses. Formerly
, a fifteenth century book, an Aldus,
an Elzevir, commanded a respectable
price because they were from these
famous presses, but now It is necessary
to be a collector that these
should be unusual copies.?Outlook.

Picture Post-Cards.
The picture post-card even here
has become a nuisance, but on
; the Continent, where the craze has
assumed really gigantic proportions,
it has proved to be the last straw
which has very nearly broken the
postman's back. In Octobter? 1904,
the number of picture post-cards
f passing through the dead-letter
branch of the French Postofflce as
undelivered was only 2500 a day,
but it had risen to 6000 during Ail-j
gust of last year, and it is feared (
thai this year will see the number
more than doubled. Calculating on
this, "X" declares that the total number
of picture cards posted during
this month must exceed two millions
a day.?Pall Mall Gazette.

Fail to Select Food Nature Demands
to Ward Off Ailments.
A Ky. lady, speaking about food,.
says: "I was accustomed to eating
all kinds of ordinary food until, for
some reason, indigestion and nervous
! prostration set in.
"After I had run down seriously,
my attention was called to the neces!
slty of some chango in my diet, and I
discontinued my ordinary breakfast
I and began using Grape-Nuts witL a
good quantity of rich cream.
"In a few days my condition
changed in a remarkable way, and I
began to have a strength that I had
J never been possessed of before, a
[ vigor of body and a poise of mind
( that amazed me. It was entirely new
; in my experience.
"My former attacks of indigestion
had been accompanied by heat flashes,
and many times my condition was
distressing with blind spells of dizzit
ness, rush of blood to the head and
I neuralgic pains in the chest.

"Since USIIlg uiaire-.iuw

troubles, except at times when I have
indulged in rich, greasy food3 int

and unless I heeded the warning the
' old trouble would come back, but
when I finally got to kn?w where
tlitbe troubles originated I returned
