If« DISPUTED TKKRITORY
Drltlsh Statement In Reward to tile
Arrest Harrison
Washington, July 1. The British
embassy has received from the for
eign office a report concerning the ar
rest of Surveyor Harrison on the banks
of the Cuyiuii river in Venezuela. The
claim of the Venezuelans that the ar
rest was made on the west bank of
the river is acknowledged, though it is
denied at the embassy that the laud
at this point is within Venezuelan ter
ritory, according to the provisional line
which both governments have hereto
fore acknowledged. It is stated at the
embassy that, ihe Cuyuni river is the
provisional line only west of the mouth
of the Aearabisi creek. The arrest
took place on the left bank of the
creek and upon the territory which is
claimed to be within the provisional
line. It was also far within the Sehom
burg line. The A herd 'en line follows
the creek- for some distance and its
general route is now the provisional
Hue.

The Uncurbed .Miaaouri Expected to
Raise Havoc in Clay County
Vermillion, S. D„ July 1. The Mis
souri river at this point threatens to
raise havoc with bottom lands. At
present the main channel runs near the
Nebraska blurt's, about four miles from
the city. During the flood of 1MM1 the
river cut across the lottoms on the
southwest and formed a "dug-out" sev
eral miles long, the nearest point be
ing about three miles from this place.
Near this point is a deep ravine run
ning into the Vermillion river about,
half a mile west ot this city The head
of the ravine is now separated from
the dug out by only a few yards. The
high water of the Missouri has divert
ed the main channel into the dugout
and the water is cutting continually
toward the ravine. Fnless the water
recedes soon the river will cut its way
through to the Vermillion and dam
ages footing up into the millions will
ensue.
Another Effort for Kent
Bismarck, N. D.. July 1.-Attorney
III Id re th of Fargo has filed his petition
for a rehearing of the Kent, murder
ease before the supreme court. The
tirst point raised is that the Defendant,
Kent, was not present when the mo
tion for a new trial was made. The
second proj»osition is in regard to in
dorsement of the names of the wit
nesses on the information. The third
proposition relates to the claim of
privilege by Kent on the stand when
undergoing cross-examination. This
point is discussed at great length, and
Mr. Ilildreth relies in this particular
on the decision of Chief Justice Mar
shall in the trial of Aaron Burr for
treason. The fourth and last proposi
tion upon which the rehearing is asked
is iu the matter of the trial judge's
charge to the jury. It is urged that the
supreme court examine this thorough
ly. In the hitter part of the jietition
Mr. Hildreth calls the attention of the
supreme court to its language iu the
opinion. He thinks that it is unneces
sary and asked the court to reconsider
the same.

and Henry A. Wise were at the depot

hos and carriages, The parade was or

citizens' troop of cavalry leading tin1
hides occupied by the guests. Citi

ciowd quickly gathered about the Mc
I'iuley home. The crowd was enor
mous and the cheering was incessant.
Maj. McKinley was cheered again and
again when he appeared. The cere
monies occurred on the lawu ill front
of Mr. McKinicy's house
Formally Siotltletl
Chairman Thurstou addressed Maj. Mc
Kinley an follows:
Gov. McKinley: We iro here to perform
the pl^assint duty assigned 'is by th
publie-aii national convention, recently as
sembled in St. Louis, that, of formally no
tifying you of your nomination as tlie can
didate of the Republican party for presi
dent of the United States We respectfully
reiuest. your acceptance of this nomination
and your approval of the declaration of
principles adopted by the convention.
W* assure you that you are the unani
mous choice of a united party, and your
candidacy will be immedi.i!ely accepted by
the '-omiiry as an absolute guaranty of
i Republican success. Your nomination lias
I been made iu obedience to a popular de
mand, whose universality and spontaneity
attest the affection and confidence of the
plain people of the United States. By com
mon consent you are their champion. Their
I mighty uprising in your behalf emphasizes
their conversion to the cardinal principles
of protection and reciprocity as best ex-
empllfled in that, splendid congressional act,
Whfch jUH'ly bears your name Under it
this nation advanced to the very culmina
tion of a prosperity far surpassing that of
all other peoples aud all other times a
prosperity shared in by all sections, all
interests, and all classes by capital and
labor by producer and consumer a pros
perity so happily iu harmony with the ge
ulus of popular government that its
choicest blessings were moat widely dis
tributed among the lowliest toilers and the
humblest homes.
In 181
2, your country, unmindful of your
solemn warnings, returned that, party to
power which reiterated its everlasting op
position to a protective tariff and demanded
the repeal of the McKinley act They
sowed the wind They reaped the whirl
wind. The sufferings an! losses and dis
I asters to the Americau people from four
I years of Democratic tariff are vastly
i greater than those which came to them
from fon." years of civil war. Out of it
I all one reat good remains. Those who
scorned your counsels speedily witnessed
the fulfillment of your prophe i«*s, and
even as the scourged aud repentant, Israel
ites abjured their stupid idols and re
sumed un«|uestioning allegianeei to Moses
and Moses' Jod. so now your countrymen,
shamed of their errors, turn to you aud to
those glorious principles for which you
stand, in the full belief that your eiindidacy
and the Kep,i*li',lIJ platform mean that the
end of the wilderness has :ome aiKT the
promised land of American prosperity is
again to them an insured inheritance.
1
But your nomination means more than
the endorsement of a protective tariff of
reciprocity, of sound money aud of honest
finance, for all of which you have so stead
i fastly stood. It means an endorsement of
I your heroic youth your fruitful years of
arduous public service your sterling pa
triotism your stalwart Americanism your
Christian character, and the purity, fidelity
and simplicity of your private life In all
these things you are the typical American
for all these tilings you are the chosen
leader of the people. God give you strength
to bftar the honors and meet, the duties of
that, great office for which you are now
nominated and to which you will be elected
that your administration will enhance the
I dignity and power and glory of this repub
lic and secure the safety, welfare and hap
piness of its liberty-loving people.
McKinley Replies
Aft Mr. McKinley stepped forward to re
ply he was given au ovation When the
cheering ceased he spoke as follows:
Senator Thurston aud Gentlemen of the
Notification Committee of the Republican
National Convention To be selected
their presidential candidate, by a great
party convention representing so vast,
a number of people of the Initcl
States Is a most distinguished honor
for which I would not conceal my
high appreciation, although deeply sensible
of the great responsibilities of the
trust, and my inability to bear tliein with
out the generous and constant, support of
my fellow-countrymen. Great as is the
honor conferred, equally arduous and im
portamt is the duty imposed, and in
eeptlng the one I assume the other, relying
upon the patriotic devotion of the people
n_ i -A A# rkiir Piuin
to the best interests of our beloved coun
try, and the sustaining care and aid of Him
without whose support all we do is empty
and vain. Should the people ratify the
choice of the great convention for which
you speak, my only aim will be to pro
mote the public good, which in America is
always th* good of the greatest number
the honor of our country, and the welfare
of the people.
The questions to be settled In the national
contest this vear are as serious and im
portant as any of the great governmental
problems that have confronted us in the
past quarter of a century They comman
our sober judgment and a settlement fre.
from partisan prejudice and passion, beat:
flclal to ourselves and befitting the honor
and grandeur of the republic. They tour
every interest of our common country
Our Industrial supremacy, our productive
capacity, our business and commercial pros
perity. our labor and its rewards, our n
tional credit and currency, our proud finan
clal honesty and our splendid free citizen
#hlp—the birthright of every man-are all
tovolved in the pending campaign, and
thus every home In the land is directly and
intimately connected with their proper set
tlement. Great are the issues Involved in
the coming election and eager acid earnest
the people for the rights and determina
tion. Our domestic trade must be won
lack and our Idle workmen employed ip
gainful occupations at American wages.
Our home market must be restored to its
prpud. ranjt ot first ift tke Ttortd* aad our
adverse national legislation, reopened on
fair and equitable terms for our surplus
agricultural and manufacturing products.
Protection and reciprocity, twin measures
of a true American policy, should again
command the earnest encouragement of the
government at Washington. Public confi
dence must be resumed, and the skill, the
energy and the capital of our country find
ample employment at home, sustained, en
couraged and defended against the un
equal competition and serious disadvant
ages with which they are now contending.
The government of the United States must
raise enough money to meet both its cur
rent expenses and increasing needs. Its
revenues should be so raised as to pro
tect the materia! interests of our people
In the executive and legislative branches
of our government. The national credit,
which has thus far fortunately resisted ev
ery assault upon It, must and will be up
held and strengthened. If sufficient reve
nues are provided for the support of the
government there will bo un necessity for
borrowing money and increasing the public
debt.
The complaint, of the people Is not against
the administration for borrowiug monvy and
Issuing iHtnds to preserve the credit of
the country, but against the ruinous policy
which has made this necessary. It is but
un incident, and a necessary one. to the
policy which has been inaugurated. The
inevitable effect of such a policy Is seen
in the deficiency of the United States treas
ury, except, as It is replenished by loans
and in the distress of the people who are
suffering because of the scant demand for
either their lalmr or the product of tlivir
labor Here is the fundamental trouble,
the remedy for which is Republican oppor
tunity and duty During all the years of
Republican control following resumption,
ther*. was a steady reduction of the public
debt, while the gold reserve was sacredly
maintained, and our 'urreucy and credit
preserved without: depreciation, taint or sus
picion. If we would r«»stoiv this policy,
that brought us unexampled prosperity for
more than thirty years, under the most
trying conditions ever kuowu in t.his coun
try, the policy by which we made aud
bought more goods at home, and'sold more
abroad, the trafc» balance would be quickly
turned in our favor and gold would come
to us and not go from us iu the settlement
of such balances in the future.
The pacfy that supplied by legislation the
vast revenues for thM conduct of our great
est war, and promptly restored the credit
the country at its close, and that from
abundant, revenues paid a large share
the debt hieurrrod in this war, and that
sumed specie payments and placed our
paper currency upon a sound and enduring
basis, can be safeiy trusted to preserve
both our credit and currren.?y with honor,
(ability and inviolability. The honor ot
our government is as sacred as our flag,
nd we can be relied upou to guard It witli
same sleepless vigilence. We hold its
safety above party fealty and have often
demonstrated that, party ties avail nothing
when the spotless credit of our country
threatened The money of the United
States and every kind of form of it, wibeth
of paper, silver or gold, must bo ad
good as
The Best in the World.
It must not. only be current at its full
face value at home, but it must be counted
liar in any and every commercial center
of the globe. The sagacious ami far-seeing
policy of the great men who founded our
government the teachings and acts of the
wise financier at, every stage in our his
tory the steadfast faith and splendid
achievements of the great party to which
we belong, wild the genius aud integrity of
our people have always demanded this, aui
will ever maintain It. The dollar paid to
the farmer, the wage earner and the pen
sioner, must continue forever equal in pur
haslug and debt-paying power to the dollar
paid to any government creditor. The con
est this year will not be waged ou lines
theories and speculation, but in the
ight of severe practical experience and
new and dearly acquited kuowledge. The
great body of our citizens know what they
wani, and that they Intend to have. They
know for what the Republican party stands,
aud what its future return to power means
them. They realize that the It'pub
ican party believes that our work should
done at home and not abroad, and
everywhere proclaim their devotion to the
jrinciples of a protective tariff, which, while
supplying adequate revenues for the gov
rnuient will restore Americau production,
and serve the best industries of American
ibor and development. Our appeal, there
fore, is not to a false philosophy or vain
theories, but to the masses of the Amer
can people, the plain, practical people,
whom Lincoln loved and trusted, and whom
the Republienn party has always faithfully
striven to serve.
The platform adopted by the Republican
national convention has received my care
ful consideration and has my approval. It
matter of gratification to me, as I am
sure it must be to you anil Republicans
everywhere, and to all our peole that ex
pression of its declaration of principles are
direct, clear and emphatic. They are
too plain aud positive to leave any chance
for doubt or question a« to their purport
and meaning. But you will not expect me
to discuss Its provisions at length, or in
any detail at this time. It will, however,
be my duty and pleasure at some future
time, to make to you, and through you to the
great party you represent, fl more formal
acceptance of the nomination tendered me.
No one could be more profoundly grateful
than I for the manifestations of public
onfidenee of which you have so eloquently
spoken. It shall be my aim to attest this
appreciation by an unsparing devotion to
what I esteem the best interests of the
people, and in this work I ask the counsel
and support of you gentlemen and of every
other friend of the country.
The generous expressions with which you,
sir, convey the official notice of the nomi
nation. are liighlv appreciated and as fully
reciprocated, and I thank you and your
Associates of the notification committee and
the great party and convention at whose
Instance you come for the liluh and excep
tional distinction bestowed upon me.

Wilkesbarre, Pa., .Tuly 1.—It is al
most a settled fact that of the small
irmv of men which entered the ill
fated Twin shaft at IMt.tston uot one
(turvived. Not only is every approach
to their dark tomb barricaded by
enormous masses of rock and debris,
hut it is known that in the mine there
is a large quantity of water which is
increasing in volume every minute.
Thus the chances of nx-overini their
bodies are more remote than ever.
Prominent officials say that weeks or
months may be consumed in clearing
sway the fallen coal in order to reach
the bodies of the victims. A mine
superintendent of thirty-tive years' ex
perience thinks the unfortunate men
(have met the same fate that befell the
twenty-six miners who perished in No.
1 slope of the Susquehanna Coal com
rany in December, lSSo.
These men were caught in a "rush"
if culm and water from the surface.
Their bodies were buried under a
mountain of coal refuse. Three hun
dred men labored for more than two
weeks to rescue them but the more
lebris they took out the more rushed
in from the surface opening. As the
task was a hopeless one it. was finally
abandoned and the portion of the mine
where the men died was closed up.
The supposition that there is water
in the Twin shafts is well founded.
Both the Lackawanna and Susquehan
la rivers run in close proximity to the
•shaft. From the surface to the jMiint
where the rock begins there is at least.
i river wash to the depth of fourteen
feet. From this point down to the
bottom or the level where the men are

)f rock. So long as this remained in
tact there was perhaps more leakage
:hrough the crevices in the mine than
in mines which were not so close to
large bodies of water. When the tall
jeeurred the 2S0 feet, of rock mentioned
mist have been shattered, allowing the
water to pour into the mine in largo
luantities until the open space below
was lilled. The natural consequence
if this is that if the men did not lose
their lives under the mass of rock they
fust have died by drowning. If this
he the case it will be impossible to' re
move the bodies front the mine. The
story will be a repetition oi the Nauti
^oke disaster.
