Petrolt. July 13.?The tenth annual convention
of ?ha National League of Republican Clubs, of
i. hi h the first session was held here to-day,
phases the leaders in respe, t to the attendance
from the South and whst, but 1? a keen disap?
pointment to them as renards the delegates from
the ?Oft, New England Is most HISS gl all repre
penled and New-York has sent .<nly seven men.
?'??.'Mish entitled to a repreeentstlon of i:to.
Pennsylvsnls bat? sent a lar?;.- delegation, hut
there la eome suspicion that ??he did so partly !
heraus? ?be has a candida'.? for president of the
League. There are 7<>0 delegates )n attendance.
I! Is. perhaps, with the idea of stimulating
LaSgoe work In the Basten States, and reviv?
ing '.-?aiilzatlons that appear to have fallen Into
s torpid condition, that ihe leaders of the League
to-day were talking about the need of nominal
_af an Eastern man for president. They also
seem to give considerable encouragement to tne i
candidacy of Frederick W? PlSltZ, of Scranton, '
l'eiin., for the presidency. This evening; Mr.
Fl??lta was the leading candidate, and was said ?
to be powerfully supported from Washington by '
Senator Quay. The other candidates were L. J. ]
Crawford, of Newport. Ky.; (?rant Fellows, of
Michigan, ami A. M. Hlggins, of Indiana. Secre?
tory Dowling. If he desires a re-election as secre
tsry, and It 's understood that he docs, will
ha\e no opposition.
The strife between various cities for the place
|ra which the next convention shall be held nar- '?
rowed down early this evening to Chicago and
On?SS, and It seems probable that Chicago will
he selec 'ed.
Another purpose of the leaders of the conven?
tion, ?s disclosed to-day. was to direct Its work
especially upon States like Ohio, where the j
Do_KXrStk party Is endeavoring to regain some
Of Its fermer political streng,h. The League j
w orkers will he con? entrated In such States next
fall. This policy Is said to hSVfl the hearty ap- I
proval of the Republican National Committee. :
which recognlr.?s the great value of the work
aiready done for the Republican party by the
1 S>1 II? an(l seeks to obtain further co-operation
from It In party work. President McKinley
made clear his own appreciation of the value of ]
the League'? labor? by sending the following
telegram to President Woodmansee to-day:
"WashlriBMon, July U.?I offer through you my j
heerty congratulations on the tenih annual con
vention of the National Republican League, and
mv tontlnued !>est wish.-s f,.r the Increased ureful
neaa and prosperltv of this worthy orRanizaiion,
WILLIAM M K1NLKY.
Telegrams of a similar purport came from
Vice-president Hobart. from all the members of
the Cabinet and from leading Republicans and ?
Senators and Congressmen. Senator Quay'? |
praise of the League was especially fervent,
and, coming from such a practical politician,
was highly appreciated.
OPENING THE CONVENTION.
The convention holds its sessions in the Audi?
torium of Detroit, a large hall, having much I
the appearance of a former skating rink. It :
had been handsomely decorated with American ;
flags and red. white and bin? bunting, and ?
portrait? of President McKinley, George Wash- ?
lngton and Abraham Lincoln hung on the walls. I
The delegates occupied peats in the body of the
ha'.l. and the 'rotators, amona whom were
many women, had places In the galleries.
The delegates were slow In assembling, but
by 11 o'clock a large proportion of the seats on
the floor of the ball were occupied. Seated on
the platform were President WnmlinanP", Gov?
ern >r Pingree of Michigan. Governor Tanner of
Illinois and Secretary Dowllnj of ihe League,
with 'nis assistants. Mr. Woodman see called the
convention to order and Introduced the Rev.
R J. Servie?, of the Trumbull Avenue Pn-shy
terian Church, who offered prayer. Mr. Wood
mansee then Introduced Governor Pingree, who
welcomed the convention to Michigan. Mr. Pin?
gree, before beginning the speech he had pre?
pared, said. In a hearty, unaffected way:
"I am glad to see you here to-day with smil?
ing faces, for It means that the sunlight of
prosperity Is once more shining upon us."
This remark evoked a round of applause. The
Governor a little later again turned from his
?peech to say:
"I want to say right here, that 1 h^pe that
th? coal miners will win In their struggle to
obtain larger wages, and that they will have
your prayers that they will be successful. The
road to true prosperity leads by that path
Which increases the wages pf the worklngmen."
This sentiment also was applauded by the
convention.
0OV?~"OH PINGRKE'S _r*__CH.
Mr. Pingree's address of web .me was as fol?
lows:
Mr. ?""halrman and members of ?he Republican

Pan Francisco. July 13 i?"* -clal).-President C. P.
Hunting-ton of the Southern Pa.lflc Railway com?
pany has formally transferred to the t'niverslty of
California the most valuable collection of Spanish i
manuscript* and documents touching the early his
tsry o? California In the world, with the single es
esStsSS of the Rancroft Library. The msnusr-rlpts I
comprise ahotit four thousand ?enwrate eloriiments.
anrl were largely eolleeteel hy Colonel .1. L. Warren.
K.rlltor of "The California Fnriter.'" and by Robert
F. Cowen anrl Colonel Qaorss W. 'l-ani-.is*. the ex- i
ecutor sf Ocawral Henry w. Hsrkck.
Many of the Spanish ?loctiments were owned for I
nearlv forty years by Colonel _Snn_*. who guard- I
?"?d thcrn most earafully from fire nnd accident. Mr.
Bssersfl was never able to secure them from I'olo
net C.rannls*. nnd it Is said that nfter a systematic
search, conducted for a score of years hy Mr. Ran- |
croft and his ngonts. these are about all the docti
ments that are known to exist outside of his li?
brary.
Kngllsh manuscripts dating from 1824 to IM are
of great Importance. The names of Suiter, Fre?
mont. Larkin. Ide, Rartlett, Semple, Colton, Rry
ant. Weber. Hull. Halleck. Leldesdorff and many
others are represented. The majority of these doc?
ument?, both Spanish and English, have never been
referred to. nnd will greatly assist the future his?
torian In his researches. Among these one of the
most valuable is ILilleek's manuscript history of
the Callfeirnlas from the discovery to 1849.
The collection Is rich In placards and broadsides
of the Spanish nnd early pioneer days, which were,
not secured even by Mr. Ranernft. In fact, It rep.
resents more than three-quarters of all the printed
matter Issued In the early years of the American
occupation of California.

THEY BEAT THE REGISTERS.
TWO THIEVKS CATCHT RY STATES' ISLAND
TROLLEHT OFFICIALS-FOMC?THINK THE
MEN ARE Ml-!MRERS OF A BIO I?ANO.
An Important arrest was made by Superintend- j
ent J. Bernard Brophy. of the Staten Island Elee.
trie Railroad, yesterday which will be of Interest
to traction companies throughout the country, who j
for over a year have been trying to discover the
methods used to tamper with th? fare register?.
It is said that a well-organized gang has been at
work and has defled the efforts of detectives and
successfully robbed nearly every street railway
company of any prominence of thousands of dol?
lars by tampering with the registers and pocket
lag the proceeds of their dishonesty. Among
thtse companies was the Staten Island, which,
with ?lll*d lines, had been a heavy sufferer.
On June 30 Harry Lang, who had been well
recommended, was appointed a conductor on one
of the company's cars. Everything went well un?
til July f>. which was an exceedingly heavy day
for travel, when something was found to be wrong
with Lang's returns. The most peculiar part was
that his returns tallied exactly with the indicator
as taken by inspectors on each trip, but th? total?
izer did net tally, and thla caused a suapicton by
the officiais.
Superintendent Brophy placed a number of de
t< clives at work and almost on every' tiff th?
car made, and on Monday two new detectives
made the trip? with Lang unknown to him. They
also noticed that a strange man was making
regular trips with Lang. Several time? during the
day the detectlvea saw Lang and his accomplie?
lamper with the register at th? ?nd of the rout?,
but they were not satisfied, so they did not arrest
thn conductor until Inter In the day. Th/ con
ductor arel his accomplice unscrewed the regiaier
and set back th? totalizer ftgur?.?, but did not
touch th? far? Indicators, and It was this Job that
led to their arrest.
When th? car was making Its last trip at mid?
night on Monday, from Holland's Hook to St.
George?, It was met by Superintendent Brophy and
a score of dctecitves' In front of Jusiic? Mulltn's
court, on Richmond Terrace, Port Richmond, who
hoarded the car and placed ?'onductor Lang and
his chum, who described himself as William Ste?
vens, alia? ?Seorge ?'lark, under arrest, on a charge,
of larceny.
When searched ?'lark was found to hav? In his
possession save al pairs of pliers, a skeleton key
such as are used bv tmrgiars. and a pock.-lful of
screws taken irom the registers. H? also had
transfer slips from nearly ?very railroad In New
York, and recommendations alleged to hav? been
written by responsible people. H?> also had ap?
plied to the Staten Island Kleotrlc ?'ompany for
employment, and would have gone to work "next
wc.-k.
Superintendent Brophy stated that Lang had
worked en nine different cars, and on each of
them the priilstors had been tampered with. He
believed that Lang had robbed ?he company to the
exteni of several hundred dollars
The prisoners pleaded not gnlllv. and wer? Inched
up at the West Nrw-Brlghtnn police station.

STOPPED- IIIK SAVER? OKriKHKH OUT.
The high wln?l of yesterday played almost un?
precedented havoc at the sh?re resorts of Lung
Island. The seas were sent In high and angry
all day nnd all night, nnd the ?lama-re at Bomo
Sf the most popular r?-r-'-rts was great. At
Coney Island the trscSS of the Coney Island
branch of the elevated railroad had so much
water up'in them that the police ordered trains
In stop running; early In the evening. The
Brighton Beach racetrack was deep In water,
fini, the Rrlghton B?*a< h Hotel was completely
surrounded hy the high tiele.
At 11 o'clock last night the entire front of
the Ocenn Hotel, at Hrlghton Beach, had been
washed away. A high southeast wind sprang
up at that hour and it was feared that the
hotel would be beaten to piece's before morn?
ing. The entire life-saving crew stationed along
the Coney Island shore was ordered to patrol
the bear h to look out for any boats which
might possibly wash ashore.
It was reported at Coney island at that time
that several yachts belonging to the ("ravosend
Yacht Club had broken from their moorings
and drifted out to sea. but this rep.irt could
not be verified, owing to the crippled state of
the telephone service. The entire floor of the
Brighton BSSSS Hotel, however, was filled with
water, and the guests were forced to abandon
It and adjourn to the second floor.
""VRF.TCHED IN THE CITY.
In this city the rainfall that began on Mon?
day continued nearly all day yesterday, with
only occasional and br!-*f Intcrmlrslops. The
temperature fell with the ral.i, and the highest
point touched in the course of the dav. accord?
ing to the Weather Bureau, was 7i? degrees, at
2 o'clock In the afternoon. The m?an tempera
tut* for the day was 72. New-York was not a
comfortsbla place to live in, for the reason that
the atmosphere was satwated with an omni?
present humidity, Its percentage ranging from
'at to 100. The rainfall was heavy at times,
and in the twenty-four hours ?. nding at H o'clock
last night 1 ."?*?? Inches of rnln fell. The storm
was not one of great geographical extent. It
rained as far north as Albany In this Ptate and
In New-England, but not much further, and a*
far south art North Carolina. Plttsburg and
other cities escaped without any rain.
If the weather authorities can lie believed,
New-York will to-day enjoy In the way of
weather a duplicate of Just what It had yester?
day.
Rain and stationary temperature was the
prophecy last night.
CONEY ISLAND ALMOST INUNDATED.
The fashionable section of Coney Island last
night resembled a sunken island, with the big
buildings sticking up out of the water. When
thft tide came in t?he water rose higher than It
has been known to do before in years, even In
winter storms. The strong, steady wind which
has been blowing since Saturday night from the
ocean has piled the water up slots'? "he coast,
and Manhattan and Brighton beaches felt the
full force of the st irm. Po steadily has the wind
blown that an ebb of the tide has not occurred
?Intje-Monday morning, and since Tuesday morn?
ing the water at Its lowest has not gone much
below the ordinary hlgh-wr.ter mark.
Great rollers were coming in from the ocean
last night and threatening to carry' destruc?
tion to the shores from Norton's Point to Roci<.
away Inlet. The waves broke over the beach
and their poun?llng could be heard a long dis?
tance away. At times the spray was carried
two hundred yards Inshore. The Brighton Reach
I racetrack was under four feet of water, and
1 there seemed every possibility that Monday's
j racing there, the first of the season, may be the
I last for a long time, as the track Is douhtles**
| ruined by the water. The big fence about the
? track was down In a number of places, and
I more threatened to give way. It was also re
| ported that one section of the grandstand had
been damaged by the storm. At the stables It
m.ts sni?l that the horses nnd stablemen re?
maining on the track were making the best of
their Impiiaonmetlt, and had mit then been
much discomfited Some owners and trainers
r.-m'ivi'el their horses from the track yester
elay, as a measure of precsutlon.
The waves Isat night w-re rushing over the
bulkheaeling at th?? Manhattan nnd Oriental ho
I tels anel iliiniagtn?r the lawns. The Hrlghton
I Beach Hotel was completely surrounded by
water, and th?! guests were prisoners. The
? greatest damage yet dune by the water was re?
ported from th? Hrlghton Beach Hotel. A big
? gap was torn In the bulkhBSd, and It looked as
I though the water would before lone: reach the
front steps of tha hotel. No one left the hotel,
as there was no dnnge?- to the building, and it
was far safer to remain there tha? to attempt
the perilous passage away from It.
THE RAILROAD STnppKP.
At ft o'clock last night the Coney Island police
ordered the elevated railroad 1o cease running.
as It was too dangerous on th? stretch to the
east end of the Island. No damage had been
done to the railroad, but It was feared that a
train might be thrown from the rails. The po?
liceman stationed at the Manhattan Reach Hotel
soein after this telepheineel to the Coney Island
police station that he hail a prisoner under ar?
rest for drunkenness. The patrol warron started
for the hotel ami turned back, repeating It had
proceeded until the wStST "as almost up to the
hubs, and that a wnshmit was probable. At the
west end eif the Island the streets were deserted
i and the concert halls were silent.

1 Many of the people who live In the shanties
j there had to leave their homes and seek

! tide was fhe highest thev had seen In a number
I of years.
At Kdgemere yesterday the tide cut Into the
i narrow gulp eif land east of the Edge-mere Heitel,
! and the water ran through freim the surf to the
inlet. Along the i'reat South Hay the tide was
heavier for this period "f the se?asein than In

RCNAWAY rou?OWS
One of the liveliest runaway? that Yonker? ha?
ever seen o"~urrcd shortly after 1 o'clock yesterday
morning. John Pond, a driver for Fnrepaugh &
Sells's Combined Shows, which exhlhlted at Yon
kers on Monday, was taking his last load to the
train. It consisted of the tent poles loaded on a
long truck and drawn by ten horses. The brake
chain parted In Pallsade-ave., near Are headquar?
ters, on a decline. The pole horses w?re unable to
hold back the heavy load, and the truck, coming
on their heels, frightened them.
In another moment th? ten horses wpre on a dead
run The driver turned th?m Into Getty Square,
and. being unacquainted with the city, Instead of
gring through to South Broadway, he swung the
frightened animals into Main-st,, which has a de?
cline all the way to the riv?-r.
Th? last car for Mount Vernon was coming l?ls
ure;>- up Maln-?t., wh?n the motorman saw the
runaway approaching. He at one? rev?rs?d and
1 attempted to r?ach the power-house, but th? sp??d
of the hors?s vas so great that the car was over?
taken a short distance west of Rlverdale-ave. Tha
truck struck a portion of ?h? Ironwork at the r^.ir
of the car, and th? shock threw the lead horses :o
th? ground, and the tw-o next to them, br?aklng

The other six hors?s f?ll in a bunch, and In an in?
stant harness, horses and truck were In confusion.
It took two hours to extricate the animals, right
things and g?t the truck 10 th? train. The noise of
th? truck rattling over th" block pavement at?
tracted a number of policemen and others, who
were soon on the seen? le r?nd?r asstatance. Tw-o
