Called to Order.
The national committee was called to
gether by Acting Chairman Clarkson nnd the
roll wns called. It appeared that every state
and territory was represented , either directly
or by proxy , oxcont Now Mexico , whoso rep
resentative , Mr. Hyerson , was detained on
the railway.
The llrst business nfter roll cnll wns the
ncceptnnco of the resignation of Chairman
Quay nnd Treasurer Dudley.
The resolutions of commendation , which
were ndoptod by the executive committee
Inst summer , when the resignations were
presented , were laid before the committee
and unanimously adopted. The action of the
executive cummltlco in naming Mr. J. S.
Clarkson of Io\ui as chairman and W. B.
Harbour of Now York as treasurer of the

The committee took up the case of Utah's

special committee had examined the merits
of the case , Mr. McBride was recognl/.ed as
the mnmber of the committee from Utah.
Dennis Flynn of Oklahoma presented his
credentials. These were approved and Mr.
Flynn admitted , thus Increasing the mem
bership of tbo committee to l.V- .
Harmony Prcvailo.l.
For calm nnd fnlr discussion the nddrossos
iiuuto in behalf of Minneapolis compare
favorably with any. Air. Fassett's
address in hohalf of Now York
was ono of Ihe most interesting
und effective of the day. It was Mr. Fas-
celt's llrst Introduction to the majority of
thoic present and the Impression created was
favorable to the young Now Vork leader.
The applause given Senator Wnshburn tos-
tttlo d to the esteem in which the distin
guished MInnesotan Is held. There was a
perfect furore over the appearance of Fornker
nnd Mclvinlcy. Almost every speech was
n feature. Judge Thurston's effort was sub-
limit. Senator Mnndcrson's was also n power-
fid and eloquent plea. Senator Hiscock spoke
with great feeling and his remarks were im-
lircsslvc. The most gratifying oiucorno of
the meeting is the good fcollug which
crowned the deliberations. Harmony nnd
loyalty to the party were abundantly prom-
isod. Kvory republican loft the hall with
the conviction that it had been n good day for
the party all around.
Mr. Gnrrot A. Hounrt of Now Jersey was
elected vice chairman of thu committee , nnd
after deciding to allow nn hour to representa
tives of each city contesting for the honor ot
being Iho meeting place of Iho republican na
tional convention , the doors wuro opened at
12:10 : airl the representatives of the press
were admitted ,
l'ru.s < ! ntiii { ; Thclr ClnlniH.
The first business done in the open session
was to cull the states In alphabetical order ,
and ask for Iho presentation of the claims
of cities aspiring tu the honor of entertaining
the republican national convention.
The llrst stnto to answer was > California.
Mr. Do Young introduced as iho spokesman
of San Francisco Congressman AluKcnna ,
who addressed the committee. "Tho city of
San Francisco , " ho said , "will bo found to
have claims worthy of consideration , regardIng -
Ing not only her Intoro-its and the interests of
the nation , but regarding the Interests of the
republican party. " Ho could review the ad
vantages of S'in Francisco by reviewing the
objections urpod orontortalned uenlnstthom.
II was said that the city of San Francisco
was too fur away. The distance was
objected to.
That argument had not much foundation
end led to some strange suggestions. Thn
splendid size of thu country seemed lo bo
gutting inconvenient to the politi
cians. To bo away from home
had not heretofore been considered one of
their conspicuous characteristics. [ Laugh
ter. ) If gcornphloal considerations were to
prevail , ether places bosido.s San Francisco
wore objectionable. Six days would bo the
DAtromo amount of tlmo that would bo con
tinued in travel between San Francisco and
any ether city. Was that consumption of Umo a
consideration ! Yes , If the days bo wasteful
days ; no If they bo work till days where
would other biiuh useful and wnruful dayi bo
found. Pcoplu would Hock to iho Pacltlu
states by the thousand. Kvcry town In the
bread hind would bu a center of Interest
ami animation. Kvcry pleasure felt and
every sight scon would bu u memento of the
republican party. Could anything bu belter
done In any other six days. The travel
would be the moan ) of exciting , arousing and
Instructing the country. It would bo a
splendid opportunity , because bo sincerely
believed that tbo political party which broke
away from the dry asn dust of conserv
atism , of doing a thing because it
had always been done , had placed a
national political convention for tbo llrst
tlmo In the west , amid nn emotional , ciithu-
slnsllc , Impressionable people , would achiovu
a decided triumph. A western friend of his
had told him recently that ho often cnmo
cast to get the conceit taken out of him. Ho
( McKcnnn ) would nut suggest sondlnc east
ern mon west for such a purpose , because
everybody know that the eastoru mon had
no conceit [ laughter ] but he would send to the
west those who had public functions lo
perform so that they should got thai broadlh
of thought and sentiment which came from
such contacl. It had taken ono of tuo great
men of antiquity fifteen years lo compose a
panogyrlc on the city of Athens , nnd what
could ho ( McIConna ) sriy in fifteen minutes for
the great city beyond the Uocky Mountains.
Ho wont on to speak of the hotel facilities of
San Francisco , nnd quoted In that relation
the verso , "We cnn llvo without love , which is
mere hoping nnd pining , but whcro Is the
man whocnn llvo without dining1' ! It Is not
expected that such a man would bo found In
thu national republican convention. | Laugh
ter. ] The city of San Francisco had enter
tained the Ivnlghts Templar and had cnlor-
tallied the Grand Army of the Uepublic , and
with spontaneous politeness and such un
wearied courtesy and care that every mem
ber thought that ho was the special guest of
the city and that the whole business had
been gotten up for his entertainment.
[ Laughter. ]
Alter Mr. McKcnnn , ox-St'nntor Palmer of
Detroit , offered n hall to hold 10.000 , u wig
wam in the conlor of Iho city , a lloatlng rnlt
In the rlvor.
Hor. Mark Brewer stilted for Datroit that
if the ronver.tlon was held there Michigan
would bo redeemed from democracy. Hep-
resuntntlvo Allen of Michigan said the con
vention In Detroit would elect for the repub
licans in Michigan nine out of twelve presi
dential electors. Senator Stockbrldgo said
the stnto would give . "i.OOO republican major
ity if the convention were held there.
After recess Senator Washburn snoko for
Minneapolis nud promised n hall for 11,000 ,
plenty of hotels , and snid that the northwest
was beginning to fool a grievance against tbo
party powers. The coming light would bowen
won or lost in the northwesl , and the con
vention .should go there as a stimulant.
C. F. Johnson , clerk of the United States
senate , said Ohio , vns safe , but the enemy
had made inroads In the northwest nnd the
convention should go beyond the Wall strcel
of Now York and Iho wheat pit of Chicago.
Governor Merriam followed. The repub
licans had lost Wisconsin , Iowa nnd Ne
braska. The Dakolas were Included with
the alliance , out the convention in Minneapo
lis would go far to redeem Hint region.
Senator Casey and M. M. Johnson of North
Dakota favored Minneapolis.
Judge C. K. Scott of Omaha spoke for that
city.
Colonel SL-ott'.s Great ICIVurt.
Colonel Scott spoke as follows :

I'OW.T Details of Disaster.
YOKOIUMA , Japan , Nov. 33.A scvoro and
prolonged shock of earthquake occured nn
the morning of October 2i. The greatest
dnmngo to buildings and loss of life occurred
In the prefectures of Achy and Olfu , In
which nearly -IOJO people were killed out
right and the same number seriously
wounded. In these two prefectures 4',000
houses were totally destroyed.
The nunibar of provinces throughout
which the disturbances were felt Is
thirty-one. Two hundred thousand people
were rendered homeless. Up to November
5 , the earthquakes still continued to ho felt ,
but the intervals between them gradually
Increased and the intensity of the shocks
diminished. Prom the commencement of
the disturbances until up to that onto it
is estimated that 0,000 shocks occurred.
Where tlio Greatest lunui ; > wns Uono
The town of Gifu , on the Tokaido railway ,
with a population of ir > , OOD , wns almost en
tirely aoitroyod. Thirty-live hundred out of
n total of l-103 houses In the town were over
thrown or burn od and 717 paoplo were killed.
In the town of ICano (500 ( houses were over
thrown mid 100 poonlo billed.
In the town of Ogak.ikl yoOO houses were
overthrown , 2,000 houses burned and 700
people crushed to death and 110J ! Injured.
In the town of Tokegahuna nearly 000
houses wore overthrown and a like number
burned and 100 peonlo killed.
In the town of ICitagatimaohi eighty-four
people were killed.
The entire village of Entakatomi was de
stroyed and eighty people killed.
Those towns are all in the provinces of
E ozi and Owarl and represent n total of
, ' 1,400 killed and nearly 5H.OJJ houses totally
destroyed. Communication has uot been
opened up to all the outlying noints , but It Is
now known that the total number of deaths
will exceed 5,000.
Terror-Strlckpu People.
Many survivors were so utterly con-
foundea and terror-stricken that they could
only stand vacantly staring- - the scene 'of
destruction. At Ichinomya and Kyosu the
people had managed to save a few mats and
were preparing to pass the night in the open
Holds , the villages being a waste of fallen
houses which the llames were rapidly de
stroying.
Throughout the day and night the work of
carrying the wounded to Nagoya proceeded.
A continual stream of bearers passed along
the r.tllrcud , the only available route.
The inhabitants of ruined towns doscnbod
the shocks as convoying an impression that
the nouses were llrst raised and then sud
denly lowered through a space of from two
to three foot. The fact that there was a
marked subsidence of the earth's surface for
a considerable area about Ulfn indicated
that the latter town was the center of the
disturbance.
bhurtly after the shock had leveled thou-
snnds of houses In the town , und hundreds
of people were lying burled In the debris ,
Unities burst from the ruins of n silk factory
In Uifu , ana In n short tlmo spread to such un
extent that the citizens were compelled to
duslst In their work of digging out the
wounded and dying. This conflagration
burned out in ono direction , but three other
llros immediately broke out , and Joining into
one , swept over the streets , fanned by a
strong northwest wind , which began to blow.
By 8 o'clock in the evening almost every part
of the town of Gifu was wrapped in lire ,
and the inhabitants , abandoning all hope of
staying the conflagration , saved what few
articles they were able to and lied from the
town , taking refuge In the woods. The
police , aided by the normal school and eighty
prisoners from the jail , fought the lire
through the night , but It wns not subdued
until the forenoon of October' , when it had
been burning for twenty-eight hours , and
almost the whole town had econ burned
over.
Potteries In the profoctuies of Owari and
Mirio , the great centers of porcelain manu
facturing In Japan , at Sato and other towns
were almost entirely destroyed , and there is
reported to bo no prospect of resuming the
industry during the present year.
j. bo top of the sacred mountain Fujiyama
has been rent asunder for n ulstanco of 1,200
fuot in width and 000 root In depth.
Iliiriod in the Fallen HuliiH.
Much of the destruction of houses is n' -
trlbuted to tlio poor material entering into
the construction of brick and stone buildings
and the excessive wolght of their roofs. The
well built wooden buildings suffered but llt
tlo , exeunt us to plastering and roofs.
Up ami down trains on the 1'okaldo rail
road were Just mooting at Olfn station , the
center of the seismic dUturonnco , when the
llrst shock occurred. The shock wns accom
panied by a rumbllnc and the movement was
! > o violent that p.isscnrors slipped from their
seats. They were thrown Into a state of great
alarm , behoving that a collision had taken
place. From the windows , however , they
beheld the station ruined and the water In
n neighboring pond being daahod violently
from side to sulo. The rumbling movement
continued und largo cracks , from two to
three feet wide , were observed opening and
closing in all directions , volcanlo mud and
ashes being thrown from same of them. So
numoious were these llsMires that to stop in
any direction threatened destruction and the
passoniers feared to lenvo the train.
I'.isseiigcrs who mndo their way Into Oifu
found Immense heaps ot ruins of fallen
houses , while others were no dislocated that
each .succeeding tremor throw some of them
down aa If crushed by n descending weight.
In almost every house some unfortunate had
been buried , and the chances of escape were
greatly diminished by conflagrations , which
broke out In ninnv places ,
it was iucortaluod that the railway line
hud been too much damaged In both dlrcu-
UouH to allow ol further progress of trains
und tno passengers , accordingly were com
pelled to make ttcir wa > on foot to the
neighboring towns. The roads were almost
impnssnblo by reason of llssures and the
laud slides , and uo conveyances were to bo
had.
Not n House I , alt
Proceeding from Cilfu to Knno , the latter
place was found wholly in ruins. Not a
house remained upright. The town of
Kasamiitsu fared like ICuno. every dwelling
bolus : u mass of debris. Kvurywhero sur
vivors were to bo found digginu out the
dead and wounded and lighting against con-
HaKnUIons that broke out on allBides. .
The shock experienced at Ogaki was so
severe that scarcely a sound house wns left
itandlnc , with the exception of the castle ,
wulcb , despite its 400 years , stood the suock
remarkably well , Uobo tamplo , belonging
to the Shin sect of Hihldbht" , was crowded
with worshippers. It bang ( the anniversary
of the death of Slilnran , founder of the scot.
Thn tcmplo fell , burying'ut least fifty people.
Tno ruins took tire hnd the shrieking
victims were consumed by tha llames before
the eyes of tno horrlllcd onlookers.
The town nf Nngcrlo escaped lightly , in
comparison with tno region west of there ,
embracing Utfu , Ogakl and Kioto. Slight
shocks were felt at Nagorlo on the night of
Sunday , October So. On Wednesday morn
ing forty Christians were In ono of tlio build
ings of the Methodist Protestant school.
When the sound of distant rumbling nroso
and the building began to totter the wor
shippers fled out doors. Ono Cnrlstlnn
and his wife were killed by falling bricks and
tiles and two other Jn nneso were so badly
Injured that they have since died. Of eight
foreigner * In tlio bulldlne Mr. and Mrs.
Vandyke , missionaries , conducting the mootIng -
Ing , together with otic other person , were
dangerously hurt.
Terrible Thunder from An ry K irtli.
Out of doors the city was in nn uproar ;
wild shrieks , shouts and innumerable noises
filled the air , while every few moments came
the tcrrlbio thunder from the angry onrtli.
Many streets were blocked with'fnllon
houses , nnd others were choked
with pcoplo rushing to am ) fro.
Tno ch'imnoy of the normal school
went crashing through thu roof , nnd the
building presented the appearance of having
boon bombarded. The upper story of tlio
poitofllco was ruined and the railway station
wns doUroyod. The Owarl thread factory's
largo brick buildings crashed in , killing hun
dreds of people. The eastlo stood llrm , but
many gateways woro' demolished nnd the
cojrt house of the military was wrecked.
Fires started In several portions of the city ,
but were subdued. The loss ofllfolutho
three towns which go to make up the city of
Nngoya is variously 'estimated at from 750 to
1.000.
Up to the morning of Friday , October
10 , J1.5S distinct shocks were recorded as fol
lowing tlio ono of Wodtjosdny.
As the wounded art * , brought Into the city
from the siirroundliiglcountry , reports con-
tlnuo to come from damaged cities.
Fissuroj opened two foot wide and several
foot deep , railway mils were twisted , Iron
bridges broken , river flmhankmonts sunk or
crumbled and fields ( loaded.
A lake 000 yards long nnd CO yards wldo
was formed at the foot of tlnltusnn mountain
In Gifu prefecture ; big rocks beside the
Uongcn hill , Inaba hill ana several other
hills In Gifu gave way and water sprung
from cracks in the ground. Water In wells
was changed to a brownish color and ren
dered unfit for drinking !
The embankments of the Naparn , Iviso ,
Shoual , Gojo and Nikofrivcrs were broken ,
and it is ox peeled that one-half of a. " > 0 miloj of
embankments surrounding Uifu will have to
bo wholly rebuilt. j
Terrible Power of the Enrtlnmnko.
The general nppenrancos of the Mtsushlma
division of the Motosu district underwent a
complete transformation , and at Nose , in
ono district , n marked , subsidence of the
earth's surface has taknn plaoo throuch an
area of two and ono-half. miles In diameter.
The bed of the river Koo , in the vicinity of
Mizutomura , was raised about six feet , and
the rumblini ; from mountains in that vicinity
wns heard at frequent Intervals.
Out of 700 temples in Gifu prefecture moro
than one-third are totally destroyed. Any
thing like a heavy rainfall would cnuso
nearly the whole of ( Jlfu to bo Hooded , as
many months will bo required to repair the
embankments. In some ( ( arts of the town
boiling mud spouted out of "fissures to n
height of ten fceU A majority of these
ceyhors continued spotiting for over two
hours.
At Osaka , which town.also . suffered greatly
from the aartlnjuuko , theJlembo ? cotton mill
was reported as havlng.collapsod und over
twenty-five were killed aria wounded. The
Mntsushima cotton ml\l \ 'also ' sutTored and
several deaths uro reported , , v while the
Nnnlwn cotton'"inlll at "Osaka , a threo-story'J
brick building , costing $ .200,000 , was parti
ally crushed to the ground , causing a loss of
twontv-throo lives.
The total sum of money distributed for the
relief of sufferers up to November-I was
nearly § 11,000. while n quantity of rioo was
also distributed. The omoeror and empress
made a donation of about $20,003 from their
private purses.
The condition of the devastated sections is
such that a largo number of inhabitants have
loft those prefectures to obtain work else
where whereby to support themselves. Ouo
hundred and fifty-eight thousand persons In
Uifu prefecture alone have applied for as
sistance.

WASHINGTON' , D. C.rNov. . 23. Captain
Shepard , chief of the revenue marine divi
sion , In his annual report to the secretary of
treasury , says that the thirty-six vessels in
commission during the year cruised . ' 131,003
miles und boarded 20,9 ! } ) vessels , of which
1.013 were found violating the la-.v. The
lines Incurred by thoio violations amounted
to Sr.4,000. : )
Ono nundrod and twqnty-throo distressed
vessels were assisted , tlelr | values , with car
goes , aggregating $ ) , SOJOOJ. The revenue
cutters , furthermore , rendered malarial
service to the life saving service during the
year nnd rescued from drowning twenty-six
persons.
Captain Shepard says that during the past
year the work of thij service embraced
operations of mure tnan ordinary importance
In bovoral directions , many of which have
dealt with issues of un international nature
requiring nicely of judgment. All such duty
has been special In character and distinct
from the routine of the service , and the
prompt mid effective manuor in which It was
performed reflects highly to the credit of
both the officers and ciows.
Captain Shepard detailed the work of the
various cutters of particular Interest during
thu year , and especially tuoso working In
13erlng sea.
Ho recommends that tlio proclamation pro
hibiting the bala to natives ot Alaska of
brcocli loading arms nnd fixed ammunition bo
rescinded , as the very lives of tho.so people
depend on the succosb tlioy moot In hunting ,
nnd their present unrolinplo weapons are be
coming of llulu use now that the walrus
have become not only very shy , but uro
scarce. Furthermore , the proclamation only
enhances the vuluo of breech-loaders In the
hands of unscrupulous traders.
Captain Shepard says u number of now
vosbols nro urgently ueddod for the main
tenance of the service. Tno rapidly increas
ing commerce on the great lakes and Puget
bound , the largo number of Chlnoio unlaw
fully landing und tha enormous quantlltes of
opium believe to bu smuggled Into the United
States from contiguous : foreign territory ;
the additional scrvlco .demanded from the
rovcnuo cutter fleet In protecting government
Interests in Alaska , demand now and moro
elllcleut steamers. Vessels at present on duty
when first put Into coininls.slun , filled < iu re
quirements , but are now'entirely too small to
moot the enlarged dutlqs-or the service. The
policy of making extensive repairs to the old
voisols Is n bad ono.
There is urgent need fpr some of rollof In
the personnel of the service. Owing to its
peculiar status Its ofilcero and men have been
refused the boucllts of retirement longevity
nnd pensions. The present condition of the
.service Is llttlo short of stagnation. Owing
to the grades being blocked by so many old
officers promotion conies only through occa
sional recognition of merit. Furthermore ,
duty performed by officers of the revenue
marine Is iho most inrduous , porhnp * , of any
tervico afloat under the government.

the Storm.
Niw : YOUR , Nov. 2.1. The storm ot today ,
which has been so remarkable In its varied
characteristics , so disastrous in Its effects
and fur reaching iu the arc.i of its sweep , will
bo recorded , especially in thu > log books of
the telegraph and telephone companies , as nt
once having equaled if not exceeded the
nttor paralysis wroucht by the great bllz/ard
of 1SSS. In truth , this has boon a storm
king's carnival nnd , as the sequel may prove ,
In many Instances , the c.irnivnl of death.
Already from numerous points come re
ports of damage , destruction and death , and
when a cessation of the warring elements
permits of n restoration of telegraphic com
munication with points at present inaccessi
ble by the prostration of the wires , the extent -
tent to which the seemingly wild rumors
will bo borne out by actual facts Is wholly
conjecture.
Originating near southern Georgia or
northern Florida tills resistless wave of
devastation swept northward and east
erly , bearing down in Its path
the wires , snapping off like reeds
trees and telegraph poles , toppling over
chimneys , tearing off roofs and crushing like
playhouses of cardboard apparently substan
tial buildings. Rounding over the Alleghenies -
ies it fell upon Baltimore , Richmond , Wash
ington and Philadelphia in turn , scattering
through highway and byway mementoes of
its tremendous power. In this city early in
the day wires south and southwest failed ,
often several at a time , until at last all com
munication outside of a comparatively small
territory was cut oft from us. Struggle as
thuy would the most export electricians
could not , with all their ingenuity , devise
means of getting over and aroand the trouble ,
even the routes via Montreal and Toronto
having been rendered useless.
The storm seamed lo divide itself into two
tremendous arms , branching from a center in
North Carolina , one arm bearing down the
coast , the other sweeping northward and ,
veering north of Washington , describ
ing ( t , trpjncudjous. . circle. . Bearing . .doxvn
northwest it'passed successively ovof Laifos'
Ontario and Erie , and finally passed aw.iy to
the north , disappearing In Baffin's bay.
Meager reports continue to bo received of
cyclones to the south and southwest. At
Lawrence a cyclone passed over the same
route as the one several years ago , which de
stroyed the towns of Boaurcgard and Wes
son. Ono person was killed and several
wounded besides much dam-ice. From
eastern Ohio nnd western Pennsylvania re
ports are meager. Destruction in every di
rection is reported , accounts of which can
bo secured only after the storm subsides.
Sufllcient to say , all Is chaos. The damage
will roach many thousands of dollars in all
sections of the country visited by the storm.
The Associated press has miulo strenuous
efforts to secure the distribution of dis
patches , every wire to the west and south
west which seemed to promise an
outlet being eagerly seized upon.
Cable dispatches , news from Baltimore ,
Now York and Washington were handled
south through Baltlmora , reaching Chicago
by way of Atlanta , Chaltanooga , Memphis
and St. Louis , thence Coing distributed from
Chicago to such points west of Plttsburg
as happened to bo fortunate enough
to possess workable wires. The cop
per wires of their lensed circuits
were spliced In every direction with pony
circuits und railroad wires ; quadrupled cir
cuits hobnobbed with single wires through
repeaters , nnd the small caliber roil road
operator at Improvised relaying stations con
tributed his mitoin ingenuity In facilitating
the transmission of dispatches , that our
great morning dailies and the puulio might
not go uiisorved.

estimated at SJ.1,000.
At midnight a high whul still prevailed
here , and It wns alternately raining nnd
snowing. Communication by telegraph was
still cut off from the east. All the wires of
the Western Union mid Postal companies nro
prostrated between Piltshiirg and Phlladd-
plna , Baltimore , Washington and Now York.
The same condition of affairs prevails north ,
while wo < t aud south Iho wires are working
but very poorly. Armies of linemen have
boon sent out to repair the lines , and it Is
expected they will uo in operation tomorrow.
The loss by the storm will bo lionvv , but

LO.NDOV , Nov. -Dispatches from Hlo

that the opposition to Dictator Fonsoea has
gntnered suflleiont force to bronlc through
the barriers erected by the Government to
hold It In check , mid to make Itself master of
the situation. No details have yet boon ro-
cclvcd as to thu preelso methodsndoptod. All
that Is known is that the uprising wns so
formidable that Foti.scca decided that
It wns Impossible to longer malntitin
his ascendancy , and surrendered his
authority. In resigning , ho dcolnrcd that
ho did so in favor ol l''lorinno 1'oUotlo. the
vice president or vlco chief of the provisional
government , of whleti Fonsoca was the huad.
Whether the opposition will bo content to
allow 1'cixotto , about whom llttlo is linown
here , to ass-unie the leadership of state is not
knoun. It is not believed Unit ho will bo
permitted to net as clilef executive oven
temporarily unless ho is In sympathy wltn
the ideas and principles of the loaders of
today's revolutionary movement.
Klo Janeiro Is In a stale of great excite-
nient , but , no reports have come as yet iudl-
