A Republican Convention.
THE state convention of the Republican party met in Boston on the 25th. The con- vention was one of the largest and most in- teresting held in that city in recent years. It adopted a platform favoring the extinguish- ment of national debt by purchase of bonds; a vigorous foreign policy; rigid civil ser- vice reform; sound currency; cessation of silver coinage; reduction of surplus; equit- able revison of tariff; maintenance of pro- tection, but its readjustment to meet chang- ed business conditions in New Eng'and and elsewhere; national law to protect voters and ballots; liberal pension policy; aid to steamship lines; building up of the navy; uational and state aid to education; perpet- ual hostility to saloon power; defence and support of public schools.
The convention nominated Lt.-Gov. John G. A. Brackett, for Governor on the first ballot. The balance of the state ticket no- minated is: Lieutenant Governor, W. 4H. H. Haile, Springfield; secretary of state, | Henry B. P'erce, Abbington; treasurer, G.
1A. Warden, Lowell; auditer, Chas. R. |Ladd, Springfield; attoraey general,
Audrew J. Waterman, Pittsfield.
” 2 Sunday on the Pacific.”
Under the above caption, Rev. Benj. Chappelle writes the following interesting letter to the last Wesleyan :—‘*To-day is Tuesday. Jt was yesterday Diem Perdidi this time sure, or as the sailors say we ‘‘knocked out.” If, gentle reader, you do not understand me, | mean that about four ‘o'clock yesterday we crossed the 180th | parallel and sailed out of the occident into | the fancy-painted orient. Our ship is the Batavia, manned by a very courtoeus crew. There are on board 27 cabin passengers, 74 ‘living Chinamen, and the bones of over an ‘hundred dead ones. Among the passengers ‘is a General of the British army, a Lieuten- antof the R.N., a French Baron, a grandson son of Savage Landor, travelling artist for \the Graphic, a party of three Germans, one a judge and all doctors of laws, on their | way to teach German law in Japan; nine i**gtobe trotters;’ one Japanese who is returning from buying $300,000 worth of goods in foreign markets; another who
, has heen purchasing machinery |by which the cotton mill which he
' represents will increase its operatives from 800 to 1500; and among others a band of | half a dozen from the Methodist Church of Canada carrying to Japan the priceless trea- {sure of the gospel of Christ. Three are ‘young ladies, three young men; four are ‘from the Maritime Provinces, two from On- | tario; three of the six are children of Mount | Allison. If parents do not wish that their boys and girls ‘* seek first the kingdom of God,” they had better not send them to Sackville, for its atmosphere is calculated ito produce just that type of character. | Yesterday the ocean was calm asa lake. At 10.15 the ship’s bell began to toll, at 10.30 service was held. As I happened to | be the only minister on board, they had Hobson’s choice. The rich liturgy of the | Episcopal church was used. The readiog | desk was cushions covered by the Union i Jack. Text: ‘* Almost thou persuadest ;me to be a christian,”
After Tiftin, visited Chinamen in their steerage and enjoyed very much talking iwith them. Nearly all understanding
some English, a number have attended 'some Mission school in the cities from | which they came, several were well dispos- | ed towards Christianity, andl one was a pro- 'fessed Christian. After dinn:r, had a ser- vice of song, directed largely by General | Tripe. who is as devoted a servant of our King as of our Queen. We have learned /to love him very much asa humble, noble | christian gentleman, and have been favor- (ed with his ripe views of scripture truth in | our daily Bible readings.
And when darkness had settled down we | wandered off to the ship’s stern, and watch- ‘ed the sparkle of phospherescent light, and \looked out along the track of shining i light toward home and loved ones and so | closed my first Sunday evening (Monday evening wasn’t it) in the Orient.”

At Eldorado, Kansas, a few days ago a child mysteriously disappeared, and Al- onzo Edwards and his wife were supposed to have made away with it. A mob strung them up with a rope until they were al- most dead, in an effort to extort a con- fession. The child was afterwards found alive and well.
Superstitions proverbially die hard, and especially among sailors. Perpetually in the presence of mighty natural forces, the tars are specially liable to cling to traditions based on their experience of the uncon- trollable powers amidst which they dwell. The United States Government have a case in point to dispose of. The sailors of the Pacific coast do not like the name of the new cruiser San Francisco. They say it is an unlucky name, and that if the cruiser goes to sea it will never come back. It ap- pears that a number of vessels bearing that name have been lost within the past fow
ors in this case is notva'together unreason- able. A California Senator has written to the Navy Deportment asking that the name be chaaged, and the autho-vities are

Who Was He?
AN UNKNOWN MAN KILLED BY A HAMILTON, ONT., POLICEMAN,
Hamitton, Ont., Sept. 26.—A man about 30 years of age, engaged board at the house of Mrs. Spense, Young Street. He displayed a large roll of bilis, but was very uncomnitnicative and did not disclose his name or anything concerning himself. He remained closeted in his room and did not eat his meals with the other inmates of the house, but we: t out and brought what food he required, and ate it in his room. Mrs. Spencer became alarmed at the man’s peculiar behavior, and when she saw & re- volver in his room her alarm increased. She notified the police. Three policemen went to the house yesterday afternoon, but the mysterious stranger refused to admit them or communicate with them. Two of the police were instructed to watch the room last night, and some time this morning the door was forced and constables Hawkins and Campaign entered the room. The man shot twice, but did no injury. One of the ‘policemen returned the fire and instantly kitled the man. Who the latter is or what is the mystery regarding him has not yet transpired. Constables Hawkius and Cam- paign are held pending turther investiga- tion.

MANY MORE QUEREC VICTIMS MIGHT HAVE
BEEN SAVED FROM DEATH
Quesec, Sept. 24.—The testimony at the inquest to-day into the cause of the deaths of the victims of Thursday's disaster developed the fact that the city was, ac- cording to the testimony of most of the witnesses, almost criminally negligent in not supplying tools by means of which the entombed people could be rescued in time to save their lives. This delay, in many cases, it seems, proved fatal, and the testi- mony of Dr. Kemp and of Ferdinand Beau- champ, one of the most heroic of the men who rushed to the rescue of the unfortu- nates, working 72 hours without a rest, goes to show that had the proper appliances such as almost any ordinary well-equipped fire department ought to have, been at hand, or even obtainable from the corpor- ation, the list of dead would have been much smaller than it is.

A Little Breeze in Fiorida. HORSE, WAGON AND BOY LIFTED INTO THE AIR AND BLOWN 200 FEET.
A ‘Tornado passed over Pablo Beach, some sixteen miles from Jacksonville, Fla., at six o'clock on the evening of the 23rd. It did great damage to Murray Hail, a large beach hotel. The tin roof was torn off, the windows and Goors burst in, and the build- ing left in a generally shattered condition. he servants quarters and carpenter shop near the hotel were completely demolished. Prince O'Neil, a boy 13 years old, was standing by the horse and buggy of Lawrence Haynes, near the dining pavil- lion awaiting the arrival of the evening train. The horse, vehicle and boy were lifted into the air and blown 200 feet to the beach. The boy was killed outright. A freight car on a side track was lifted in the air, turned over twice and landed on the north side of the main track sixty feet dis- tant. A passenger train due at 6 o’clock was half an hour laie owing to obstructions on the track. Had it arrived on time a hundred cottagers returning from the city would have been killed or seriously in- jured.
