Our Washington correspondent says: "It is surprising here that Stevenson shouldhavo been put on the tieket with . Cleveland as it is well known that the feeling between them was anything but cordial during the last year or two of Mr. Cleveland's administration. Ste- veneon's favorite method of speaking of Mr. Cleveland among his intimates was 'that mugwump in the Whito House.' The fact is commented on that Mr. Cleveland sent no congratulations to Stevenson.' A hotel at Magnolia, 111., was entered at midnight Juno 28th, by five masked and armed men who gagged and bound the landlord, his wife and the hired man, secured their valuables and frightened the women servants into silence. They then aroused the five guests of the hotel, marched them in lino into the hall and 'while two of the villains stood guard, the others ransacked tho rooms, secur ing f 1,200 worth of valuables. After threatening their -"victims with death in case of pursuit, they escaped. John Sobeeki, prohibition candidate for gov ernor of Missouri, was one of the guests; failing to organize "a posse, he gptW horse end started alone, overtaking'three of the robbers in a ravine." They skirmished, SobeskTs horse was killed, and the robbers escaped -unhurt. - - e Shceeiamt Elktns is justly regarded tm onebf the shrewdest political ob-J servers in the country, and his opinions are always given careful consideration, even by his political opponents.

THIRD PARTY MEETS. OPENING OF THE NATIONAL CONVENTION AT OMAHA. C. II. Ellington or Georgia Made Tem porary Chairman The Delegates Wel comed to the City by Mayor BemU The Proceeding. Omaha, Neb., July 4. The National Convention of the People's Independent party was called to meet at 10 o'clock, but the delegates were late in getting into the hall. The Coliseum building, in which the convention is being held, seats about twelve thousand persons and in appearance resembles the Min neapolis hall. The attendance of visi tors at the first session was not large, and, us in Chicago, there were many unoccupied .scats when the first session opened. As the hall be gan to nil a noianie ieaturc was the presence of many women dele gates. Charraan Taubeneck, of the national executive committee, came upon the platform shortly after 10:30 and entered into consultation with other leadera By J 1 o'clock the part of the hall allotted to delegates was fairly well filled, most of 1,770 dele gates being present, but in much con fusion. The gcueral remark was that it was a fine-looking body of men. Strong and striking physiogomies were numerous.. Chairman Taubeneck called the con vention to order or attempted to do so at 11:05 oclock. It required ten min utes to produceorder and Sergeant-at-Arms L. A. JJeltzer's loud voice was necessary to make Taubeneck's gavel effective. As the delegates finally quieted down it was evident that the finest delegation was that from Massa chusetts. Chairman Taubeneck at once introduced Chaplain Diffenbacker, of the Nebraska house of representatives, who made the opening prayer in a strong, full voice readily heard in all parts of the hall. When the chairman introduced Mayor Bemis, of Omaha, to welcome the dele gates he was received with hearty cheers and his speech was frequently interrupted by loud applause, and it was evident from the first that the con vention was destined to be wildly en thusiastic At the conclusion of the address the convention gave three tremendous cheers for the mayor of Omaha. Ben S. Terrill of Texas was intro duced to reply on behalf of the con vention to Mayor Bemis' address of welcome. Ue did so in a vigorous and complimentary speech, whicu was re ceived with applause at frequent inter vals- Quoting a statement of Mayor Bemis that dear gold meant cheap men, Terrill was greeted with cheers which were only exceeded when he pledged the South to vote the People's party ticket, no matter who the nominee, as long as he stood squarely upon the St Louis platform. His declaration that the new party had wiped out sectionalism and united the blue and the gray as no other party could, was met with applause which shook the building. As an ex-Confederate soldier he declared that the new party made him feel as much at home in Nebraska as in Texas. Chairman Taubeneck then intro duced as temporary chairman C 11. Ellington of Georgia and surrendered the gavel to him. J. W. Hayes of New Jersey was made temporary secretary, with C. P. Carpenter of Minnesota and Jesse Poundstonc of California assistants. Mr. Ellington pro ceeded in a somewhat labored manner to deliver a pondrous address which was only finished by a final re sort to manuscript, to which the speaker closely and awkwardly cyjn fined him self. The convention began to give evidences of weariness and impatience as the long-drawn-out and platitudin ous speech wearied on. Even the en thusiasm of the convention was hardly equal to stirring applause for .Elling ton's disjointed harangue. A motion was then made by a dele gate from New Hampshire to take a re cess until 1:30. This was amended to 2 o'clock, but before the motion was put it was announced by Vandervoort, of Nebraska, that there would be a re union to-night of the "blue and gray" which was received with prolonged cheers. A distribution of -a. latge quantity of mail was made to dele gates from the stage and when the mo tion for recess till 2 this afternoon was put and lost. A motion was thin made to appoint a committee of one from each State on permanent organization aud one from each State on rules. The convention at once proceeded to qall of States for committees. At 1 o'clocl' the conven tion took a recess for one I .ur. The most important step taken by the leaders this morning was the send ing of a telegram signed by Ben S. Terrill, Chairman Taubeneck and ' others, to Judge Gresham, asking him to state whether or not he would ac cept a nomination for President from this convention. At noon a telegram came from Judge Gresham's son stating that his father would be home at fi p. m. and would then send a definite answer. It is said on good au thority that if the answer is favorable Gen. J. B. Weaver of Iowa will himself place Gresham in nomination. The Gresham men continue confident that he will accept, and assert that they know what they arc talking about and are not guessing. JUDGE CICESHAM SATS NO. fVould 3iot Accept the Nomination on .

Only One Seaman Injured Some Doubts as to Whether the Boat Can Be Got Oft Safely The Wreck. Blight Have Beea a Fearfal Disaster. London-, July 4. Not a life was lost by the disaster to the Inman Line steamship City of Chicago, which went ashore during a dense fog, inside Kin aale Head, on the Irish coast All her passengers have been landed in safety, and the officers hope to save the vessel and cargo. The vessel struck head on, and only her forward portion is on the rocks. The stea'in ship's propeller was worked ahead throughout the night to prevent her drifting off the rock on which her stern was caught; otherwise she must have foundeied, as her forward compart ments are reported completely stove in. Signals of distress were fired immedi ately after the v. .s.m-1 struck. The first response was from the Kinsale coast guards. Upon arrival " on the cliff which overhangs the beach opposite the rock where the City of Chicago struck the coastguards fired a rocket over the wreck. The &im was true, but too short, and the rocket struck among the crew, who were gathered on deck, aud knocked down one of the sailors. The man had his arm broken, but was not otherwise seriously injured. The rope thus thrown to the beleaguered vessel enabled the lifeboats to be quickly brought into use and the passengers were transferred to the beach as speedily as possible and with as little discomfort as ever attends such excit ing experiences. An examination of the City of Chi cago this morning shows that the steamer is nearly on the ledge and lists to the starboard. She is bumping heavily. The crew is on board aud the Liverpool ofiiciulssay that they expect the vessel to float to-night The cargo of the City of Chicago is very valuable, including a vast quantity of wheat and dead meat New Yokk, July 4 Dispatches from Queenstown to the Inman Line officers here sayfthat all the passengers, mails and baggage of the City of Chicago have been landed. Peter Wright said: "As far aswe can see, the steamship is not so very badly hurt I don't know how long it will be before she will be in condition to go to sea again. 1 don't think it will be long, however, I don't know how much it will cost to repair her or how long it will take, but I don't think it will either cost very much or take very long. The City of Chicago had a full cabin list. Among the passengers were George Sweeney, O'Neill Kyan and M. D. Gallagher, three of the peace com missioners sent abroad by the Irish National League executive boar-.l to try to make peace between the oppos ing factions of the nationalist party. Bayard Stockton and his family of Providence were also on board, as were many other well known persons. ANOTHER KIOT AT WATKRFORD. McCarthylte Committee Boom luvaded by Parnellltes.

A THOUSAND MEN ON GUARD All Approaches to the Hljj Steel Mills at Pittsburg Are Blocked. Pittskuro, Pa., July 4- Fully 1,000 men were on guard all of last night in Homestead and Munhall and around the Carnegie steel works. There is no possible approach to the town and mills that is not stroncrly guarded, and the "dead lines" are drawn clear around the fifty acres of mill yard. No one can pass through the dead lines unless he has business of his own that takes him that way, and even then if he is not a mill worker of some sort or a resident of the town he cannot pass. To-day the men are receiving their pay and notices of discharge. The best of order prevails and no trouble is apprehended. There is nothing new in the iron scale solution. No more signatures have been received and no important change in the condition of affairs is looked for before the scale conference next Wednesday.
