The News and Observer. YOL. XXXIX. NO. 22. YWE L&G3®E@T ©DEfBQJIILAirntDK] ®F MW KldL ©AMILQKIA [DAiDO.W-. END IN A LOVE FEAST BI T QUAY HAD HIS OWN WAY COMPLETELY W ITH THE CONVENTION. HIS CANDIDATES ABE NOMINATED And he Dictated the Platform Which was Adapted Declaring Against the Free Coinage of Silver—He isnow the Hero as W ell as the Idol of the Re publican Politicians—Though the Factious Have Been IlronghtTogeth er the Compromise Hay not Last. Harrisburg, Pa., Aug. 28.—The Re publican State Convention met hero to day an unanimonsly agreed upon the following ticket: State Chairman, M. S. Quay. State Treasurer, Benjamin J. Ilaywoou, of Mercer. . .... Superior Court Judges (six to be elected): James A. Beaver, of Centre court. E. N. Willard, of Lackawanna. C. E. Rice, of Luzerne. George B. Orlady, of Huntingdon. Jolm B. Wickham, Beaver. Howard Reeder, of Northampton. To night Senator Quay is the hero, as well as the idol of Pennysylvania Republi can politicians of all degrees of promi nence. His rooms at the Lcehiel hotel,have been constantly beseiged since the con vention euded, by men anxious to pay homage to his leadership. The Senator takes all of the praise and congratula tions that ere being showered upon him with his usual stoicism and so far as outward appearances go, his demeanor is just the same as when the fight seemed to be going against him. The Convention, which started out with every promise of being one of the most exciting ever known in the State, developed iatoa “love feast,” and wound up about as tamely as any ever seen here. The first battle between the factions came on the election of a temporary chairman The Quay candidate won by a majority of thirty, and after this the Senator had his own way completely. An incident of the day was the offer ing by Senator Quay of a resolution call ing for the purification of politics and civil service in all branches of the public service, which was afterwards embodied in the platform P.egarding this document there was much discu.-sion in committee. Because of the /ear that the outside rabble inLht break in, it was deemed unwise to'cpen the doors of the hall after all entitled to admission were in side, and it was necessary for the fifty platform m ikers to get in one corner and discuss their business. The anti- Qnay minority, led by Congressman Dalzell, fought for a more definite ex pression in favor of “sound money”, and being outvoted in committee, brought their fight to the convention floor, and here carried their point without much opposition. Senator Quay accepted their plank as an addition to the one in his platform. The resolutions were pre pared by men opposed to Gov, Hastings, and the matter of endorsing his admin istration was very nearly overlooked, a thoughtful delegate offering the neces sary plank a few minutes before final adjournment. The day was the hottest of the season and for more th«*n four hours the dele gates, newspaper men and spectators were imprisoned in a sweltering atmos phere without either food or drink. With a few exceptions, every man sat in his shirt sleeves. Senator Quay being one of the ones to set the example. The delegates who arrived early found over 125 men in the hall, guarding the entrance to prevent toughs and heelers from taking pos session of the premises. They had been there all night and showed evidence of their long vigilance and marched out of the hall shortly before the hour for convening Although there was an out ward indication of harmony and forgive ness, ir is said that this extends only to Gov. Hastings and his friends. Those on the platform observed that Senator Quay did not look at or speak to C. L. Magee, David Martin and Senator Por ter, the men who have led the fight against him and it is predicted to-night that the wounds, now temporarily healed, will br rj-epened in a very short while. The money plank of the platform is as follows: “We accept unreservedly the determi nation enunciated by the Republican Na tional Convention of 1892; that we de mand the use of both gold and silver money with such restrictions and, under such provisions, to be determined by legislation, as will secure the mainten ance of the parity of values of the two metals so that the purchasing and debt paying power of the dollar, whether of silver, gold or paper, shall at all times be equal. “Faithful to the Republican party, and believing it to be the settled doctrine of the party, that the honor of the nation and the interests of its citizens require the ma utei ance of a national currency, every dollar of which, whether in gold, silver or notes, shall be of stable value and of equal put chasing power, we hereby declare our opposition to the debasement of the national currency by the admission of silver to free and unlimited coinage at the arbitrary rate of 16 to 1.” A Bridegroom Suicides. Columbia, 8. Aug. 28.—W. J. Geige, who was married Sunday, com mitted suicide Tuesday night. His body was found not far from his home early this morning. He had taken four ounces of laudanum. He was an attendant at the asylum and lost his place on account of his marriage. NEWS FRESH FROM MEXICO, For the First Time in History the Republics are United by Wire. Chicago, 111., Aag. 28.—The leased wire system of the Associated Press, through the co-operation of the Western Union Telegraph Company, has been ex tended from San Antonio to Laredo, Texas, on the border of Mexico, which connection is made with the system of the Mexican National Railway Co To-night for the first time in the his tory of Mexico, the two rep-blics are united by direct telegraphic news con nections and the full report of the Asso ciated Press will hereafter be sent direct to the capitol of Mexico where it will be published by the Herald, the leading paper of the republic. The Associated Press will also receive the news of Mexico direct, and it is contemplated to deliver this news in New York and San Francisco within ten minutes of its filing. W ill Be of the Greatest Value. New York, Aug. 28.— Regarding the extension of the Associated Press Lines from San Antonio to Laredo, on the Mexican border, and from there to the City of Mexico, over the wires of the Mexican National Railway Company, Mr. Raonl, President of the Mexican National, said: “Although I cannot, at the moment, discuss the business transactions in volved in the scheme to establish a news line direct from the United States to the center of Mexico, I can speak of the advantage such an enter prise would be to both the Uni ted States and Mexico. My intimate knowledge of the country, and the present facilities for obtaining news, either from or for Mexico, has caused me to give the matter my hearty ap proval because I believe the effort to be in the interest of the development of Mexico, and consequently, in the inter est of the people of the United States, who have business relations with the sis ter Republic. Heretofore any person iu Mexico, having an item of news, inter esting or otherwise, true or false, has had the privilege of sending that item to the press of the United States with the effect that many very erroneous ideas have been fastened in the miuds of the people of the United States regarding Mexican affairs. “Furthermore, the fact that new 3 of a political nature should be transmitted from the City of Mexico to Washington or the reverse, with almost no delays, and that such news would be authentic and reliable, would be of the greatest value to both republics.” EX-CONSUL WALLER’S CASE. Probable That No Further Action W ill be Taken at Present. Washington, D. C., Aug. 28.—1 tis probable that no further action will be taken in the case of ex-Consul Waller until his statement taken by Newton B. Eustis and Mr. Alexander is received and examined. It is stated that the case then will be a purely legal one, and that the action of the department will depend upon the lawfulness of the French military court and its actions and the legal status of Mr. Waller’s con tentions. The statements of Mr. Waller are to be compared with the statements of Consul Wetter at Tamatave, who has made a re port to the department of facts gathered by him in Madagascar. There is yet wanting a copy of the record of the ar rest and conviction of Waller, which re cord the French government has promis ed. If it is not forthcoming, the cate will be that much stronger against the French government. If it has not arrived by the time the department is prepared bo act upon the case as present ed by Consul Wetter and Mr. Waller, the probabilities are that the French govern meet will be asked to release the consul at ouce, aud to indemnity him for the wrongs he has suffered. The French Think it Unimportant. Paris, Aug. 28 —The Figaro this morning declares that the Wailer affair Is unimportant; that Waller was only an American Cousul through accident; that he never did well and that his con sular colleagues, in addition to the na tives, shunned him. The Figaro adds: Nothing serious can result from the negotiations regarding his condemna tion, for he is not worth the trouble. The Castine incident is more serious; but any formal complaints should come from France and not America, which is en tirely in the wrong. Moreover, the American newspaper campaign in this connection is nothing but an engine of election warfare without importance for us, and aimed much more against Presi dent Cleveland and Mr. Eustis. NO TRICE OF MR. INMAN. Believed that the Wealthy Young Cot ton Merchant Was Drowned. New York, Aug. 28. — No trace has been found of Robert W. Inman, the wealthy young cotton merchant since his yacht was run down in the Narrows Monday evening. A street car conduc tor named Joseph Kramer has told of seeing a well-dressed young man at a Staten Island resort Tuesday evening, who seemed to have just emerged from the water, and whose head was badly cut ; but thus far there is no confirmation of the s’ory, which has in it many ele ments of improbability. A Blasphemer Paralyzed. Athens, Ga , Aug. 28. — William Hay good, while profaning on Monday, at High Shoals, and declaring there was no God, no heaven and no hell, was stricken with paralysis of the tongue. The mat ter has caused a great sensatiou in that community. RALEIGH, N. C., THURSDAY. AUGUST 29. 1895 KNIGHTS GET TO WORK THE BUSINESS OF THE CON CLAVE BEGUN IN EARNEST -YESTERDAY. GREAT GROWTH OF THE OROER There Has Been a Great Increase in Membership Within the Past Six Years, as Shown by the Report of Grand Recorder Isaacs—The Finan cial Report Also Shows Increased Receipts From Year to Year lor the Past Eight Years. Boston, Mass., Aug.—The business of the 26th triennal conclave of Knights Templars was begun in earnest to day by the Grand Encampment, while the round of pleasure was resumed by the great body of the Knights with lively enthusiasm. Sessions of the Grand Encampment were held both morning and afternoon at Masonic Temple; the Grand Competitive Drill cf the crack commanderies of the United States, Columbia, of Washington, D.

T. drill corps and Detroit, of Detroit, Mich., was held at the south end baseball grounds. Many of the grand and subordinate commanderies kept open house all day, while exeur sions almost without number to the va rious harbor resorts and historic points nearby attracted thousands. The meeting of the Grand Encamp ment in the Masonic Temple was largely attended, over 200 members being pres ent. After the roll call, devotional ex ercises were conducted by Grand Prelate Vice Eminent Sir Jos. M. McGrath, and then Grand Master Mo->t Eminent Sir Hugh McCurdy delivered his triennial address. Acting Recorder V. Eminent Sir Wm. B. Isaacs Jr., of Richmond, Va., sub mitted his report. In the table of comparison in his re port Grand Recorder Isaacs submitted the following concerning she growth of the Knights Templars: There were 813 subordinate comman deriea in 1889 under the Grand Com mandery; 22 subordinate commanderies under the Grand Encampment; 16,877 Knights in Grand Coromauderies; 9G4 Knights in subordinate commanderies. Total membership of commanderies 87,- 724.

The financial reports gives a compara tive statement of eight yeais back. In 1887, $3,538 40 was received from the grand commanderies, which sum was supplemented each year until it reached $5,128.60 in 1895. There were $396 re ceived from subordinate commanderies in 1887, which increased year by year, reaching $528 in 1895. The afternoon session of the Grand Encampment was called to order at 2 o’clock. The matter of time and place for the next triennial conclave has been referred to a committee composed of the following members: D. W. E. Carroll, Pennsylvania; 11. H. Montgomery, Illinois; IL T. Whitney, Minnesota; A. H. Holt, Washington, D. C. M. J. Houck; Ohio; E S. Lippett, California; 8. E Deuel, Idaho; R. 11. Thomson, Kentucky. The principal business this afternoon was the discussion of the matter f time aud place. Invitations have be n received from Minneapolis and Pittsburg and the Associated Press representative learned this afternoon from an authoritative source that a can vass of the grand encampment shows that the next triennial conclave will be held in Pittsburg. During the day the committees were appointed on credentials, charters and grievances. At to-morrow’s session the election of officers will be held and if the balloting is completed in time the place for the next conclave will be decided upon. THE PORT ROYAL DOCK. The Contractor Notified That he Must Make Good the Defects. Washington, D. 0., Aug. 28.— The contractor of the Port Royal dock has been notified of the finding of the Board of Naval Engineers, which recently ex amiued the dock aud notified that he must make good the defects If the o v der is not complied with, the Navy 7 partment will do the work aud withhold the contractor’s pay for the co-t. The Board found the dock gates especially defective in that they were not strong enough to withstand the hydrostatic pressure. Speimau Brothers Assign I „ New York, Aug 28. —Spelman Brcs , importers and dealers in fancy goods, novelties aud toys, at No. 361 aud 363 Broadway, made an assignment to day to 8. V. White for the benefit of creditors. The firm has been in existence about fifty years and carried a stock valued at between $200,000 and $250,000. THE CHINESE RIOTERS A CONSIDERABLE NUMBER OF THEM ALREADY TRIED AND CONVICTED. BY THE KUTIEN COMMISSION The Chinese Officials Are Lending Their Active Co-Operation to the In vestigation and Matters arc Progres sing in the Most Satisfactory Manner- The Conduct of I,in PingChtng, Late Viceroy of Szu-Chuav., V ill Also he Investigated by China. Washington, D 0., Aug. 28 —The Department has received cable advices from Minister Denby, dated August 27th. in which he states that Mr. Hix son, our Cousul at Foo Chow, started for Kutien under orders from him to inves tigate the recent riots in the early part of the month. Mr. Hixson went with the consent of the Chinese government aud under the protection of an escort furnished him by the Provincial author ities. He was accompanied by a naval officer of our fleet, the latter, as the de partment has been advised from other sources, being Commander Newell of the Detroit. Mr. Hixson reported to Minister Denby that the work of the committee at Ku tien is proceeding smoothly and that the Chinese officials are lending their active eo operation. A considerable number of convictions have already beta secured. As to the Szu-Chuan Commission, Mr. Denby states that it will begin its work as soon as the British Consul at Chung- King, who has been designated by his government to serve thereon, can leave his post, which, for the time being, he finds it impossible to do. The late Viceroy of Szu Chuan, Liu Ping Chang, has not,been appointed by the Pekin government on its commission for investigating either the June or August riots, but he has received orders from the Emperor to remain at his post at Cheng Tu until his conduct prior to and during the riots had been thoroughly in vestigated. The first paragraph in the above state ment furnished by the State Depart ment, completely disposes of a story sent from Washington by the United Press a few days ago, to the effect that Consul Hixson had proceeded hastily and with out authority. The whole statement also disposes of another baseless story that Minister Denby’s course was unsat isfactory and that he was likely to be re called. It is stated at the department that matters are progressing in China in an entirely satisfactory manner. AMERICANS NOW IN LONDON. Speaker Crisp Makes Another Visit to Parliament London, Aug. 28.— There was a good representation of American public men this evening in one of the car riages of the great wheel at Earl’s Court.

Barrett, of Georgia; David McClure, of New York, and others, all of whom talked politics. Mr. Croker ventured the as sertion that New York would go Demo cratie in the autumn, which, he added, with the return of prosperity would make the Democratic chances good for the Presidential election. Mr. Crisp visited the House of Com mons to-day as the guest of Speaker Gully and saw a division counted. He afterward said he preferred the method of voting in Congress. The ex-speaker, who has just returned from Ireland, said that after witnessing the prosperous condition of England and France, he felt sad while iu Ireland at the evident lack of prosperity. He saw much want there but thinks it a beauti ful country, and was charmed with the people. AN INDIAN AGENT MURDERED. The Deed Probably Committed by Gamblers and Whiskey Peddlers. El Reno, O. T., Aug. 28. —It is re ported here to day that Captain Baldwin, United States Army, acting agent at the Kiowa, Commanche and Apache Agency, at Anadarko, was murdered last night by Indians. The report lacks verification as yet, but Federal officers credit it, except that they believe the murder was committed by gamblers and whiskey peddlers against whom Capt. Baldwin has been waging a relentless war for some time past. The report has created considerable excite ment here and a party of marshals is on the way to that country. An American Vessel Ashore. Hiogo, Aug. 28.— The American ship Henrietta, Capt. Ross, from New York, December 17, via Yokohama, is iishore in Kee Channel with nine feet of water in her hold.

Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 28.—News from Indianapolis that the supposed body of young Howard Pietzel had been located iu the chimney of a house in the suburbs of that city was conveyed to H. H.

Holmes’ counsel said that his client is so accustomed to hearing of startling developments in the famous case, and has been so frequently accused of crimps which it would have been physically impossible for him to commit, that a little matter of the Hading of n few humnn bones has not she slightest effect upon Mrr\ The Trunk Identified.

New England’s Champion Middle- Weight Whipped by Joe Wallcott. Boston, Aug. 28. —Dick O'Brien, of Lewiston, champion middle weight of New England, was knocked out in the first round of what was to be a 25 round bout by Joe Wallcott, colored, of Boston, this evening. The fight was the feature of the second evening iu the Garragut Club’s carnival at the West Newton Street Armory. More than 3,000 spectators were pres ent. The fighting was sharp from the start, O'Brien for S(Seud off, landing his left on Wallcott’B jaw and his right on the stomach. Wallcott then straight countered and almost immediately landed a telling blow on O’Brien’s jaw and the Lewiston man went down. He recovered quickly, however, and both men went at it again in a rapid manner, but Wallcott again found an opening and floored O’Brien, who again recovered his feet for the second time, but the next instant, Wallcott planted a left on the heart and a right on the jaw aud O’Brien fell and lay on the floor. Wheu eight seconds had been counted, the gong rang for the end of the round. As O’Brien then showed no evidence of being able to pro ceed, referee Capt. Bill Daly, gave the decision to Wallcott.

The murderer escaped. They Favor a Gold Standard. Augsburg, Bavaria, Aug. 28.—The German Trading Associations, oow T in conference here, adopted a resolution to day in favor of a gold standard. PRICE FIVE CENTS. WENT OUT FOR A SAIL VALKYRIE AND VIGILANT YES TERDAY TOOK ANOTHER EX PERIMENTAL SPIN. THERE WAS NO TEST OF SPEED Even inn Light (freeze Valkyrie Moved Along Very Rapidly aud Though her Sails were not Full Paused good sized Vessels as Though they were at An chor-Great Crowd > Watched the two Famous Yachts Anxious to Witness a Test ol their Speed. New York, Ang. 28.—Valkyrie 111 and Vigilant weut outside Sandy Hook early today. The first named yacht to take another experimental sail iu the waters where she is to contest for the Ameriem cup teu days hence, and the American sloop to “get a line” on the Britisher and test her qualities for the benefit of the syndicate’s yacht, De fender. Soon after 10 o’clock Valkyrie was un der sail carrying mainsail, staysail, jib and club topsail. The wind had shifted to the west, was blowing about eight miles au hour and the air was still somewhat hazy. In the light air Valkyrie moved along very rapidly and it was noticed that she passed the fleet of good-sized sloops and schooners as though they were at an chor, and this in spite of the fact that her sails did not seem to be set very well on account of the breeze being too light to fill them. The wind gradually fell away until 11:30 a.m. There was hardly enough to give Valkyrie steerage way aud she eventually became almost quiet and be calmed off Romer Beacon, aud there upon went about and headed up the Swash Channel again, evidently not being able to stem the flood-tide with the light air then blowing from about south southeast. While heading back up the bay Valkyrie took in her jib topsail and soon afterwards became wholly lost to sight iu the mist. She was sightel again from the highlands of Navesink shortly before 1 o’clock. There was very little wind b owing and she was beating down the ship channel. There was just euough breeze to keep her sails full and she managed to make headway against the flood tide. Valkyrie had a baby-jib-top sail set when beaming down the lower bay. The wind, due south was only blowing at the rate of about five miles an hour; but the cup challenger felt it and lay over at quite an angle un der it. She also felt the breeze in an other way, for she glided ahead through the water in slick style. The Dunraven yacht made a couple of tacks during the next ten minutes, and it was clearly apparent that she was allowed to go about easily; but the im pression formed yesterday that she is wonderfully quick in stays, was fully confirmed. Vigilant hoisted her newly bent main sail as Valkyrie stood down past the Hook on the starboard tack. This was at about 1:50 p. m., and the wffid had died away almost to a calm. The challenger then had the last of a strong flood tide to buck against, so she practically came to a halt and bobbed up and down on the ocean swell. But after clawing away over the tide until she got well beyond the point off where the Valkyrie took in her jib-top sail at 2:20 p. m., aud hauled her sheets aft again, she pointed closer up into the wind. Vigilant at that hour still lay at anchor with her racing mainsail set and her gaff top sail aloft. Valkyrie, however, only went out as far as the outside bar and at 3 p. m. she lowered her club-top sail and j.b-top-sail and put about apparently with the intention of passing into the Horse Shoe again. The wiud was then south, light,and the sky was cloudy. As Valkyrie headed iu towards the Horse Shoe, Vigilant was just getting under way and it looked very much as if the cup challenger was likely to give her another slip and thus raise the test of speed between them which the crowds assembled hereabouts have beeu so long anxiously wishing for. Valkyrie at 3:30 p. m. had returned to her moorings,hav ing, apparently done all the sailing her handlers proposed to give her to day. HE FELL FROM A WINDOW. The Cousin ol the Marquis olSalisbury Fatally Injured. Lexington, Ky., Aug 28.—This morn ing Arthur Master, son of Lord Arthur Master, of London, Eug., fell from a sec ond story window at Middlesboro, and was fatally injured. He is a cousin of the Marquis of Salisbury. Arthur has been in Middlesboro five years, having come to Kentucky with a number of other English capitalists to boom Mid dlesboro. Great Britain aud Armenia. Constantinople, Aug. 28.—The Sultan has sent a dispatch to the Turkish Am bassador at Paris and St. Petersburg, bitterly complaining at Great Britain’s attitude regarding Armeuia, which atti tude is described as discourteous and derogatory to the Sultan’s prestige. The dispa ch concludes with an appeal to the French and Russian governments to use their good offices with Great Britain to modify her present attitude. Train Robbers Get Teu Y'ears. Omaha.
