[ Special Telegram to TUB lieu. ] The allied forces of the oppo sition were successful In encompassing the defeat of Judge Maxwell , in the republican state convention held In this city today , and on the fourth formal ballot the nomination for Associate justice of the supreme court was given to Judge T. O. C. Harrison of Grand Island. This result was in a measure duo to the perfidy of delegates who were sent to the convention Instructed by their county con ventions to work for the nomination of Maxwell , ami use all honorable means within their power to accomplish this end. It was well Icnown that some of these Instructed delegates were not for Maxwell ut heart , but it was hardly to have been expected that they would deliberately betray the trust reposed in them , and sell out thc'cholco of tholr con stituency .at the bohosl of the railroads. It transpired , however , that this was what they were there for , und they demonstrated most conclusively that the corporation plug- gors had not reckoned without tholr boat In striving to s'jcuro places for them on the various delegations. True it was that no irly all the Instructed delegations cast their solid vote for Max well on the Informal ballot , when Ihero war not the slightest possibility that It could result In frustrating the plan of the anti-Maxwell combine by causing u nomina tion uf the chief justice , but they showed tholr hii'ids us soon as the second ballot , which was the iirst formal ballot , was ordered. MnllitUt'ii I.ul tlio Hrttiilc. Buffalo county was the first to throw honor to the winds and deliberately go back on Its instructions. The treachery was engi neered by John T. Mallaliou , superintendent Of the Kearney Koform school , and It was under his management that a split In the delegation was caused then and there , throw ing three of the twenty votes of Iho Buffalo contingent to Abbott of Hall. This action was recorded on the informal billet , and at no time did this delegation cast its vote in accordance with the Instruc tions of the convention that created it. The same wns tr jo of the Ouster county delegation , from the home of the recently Impeached commissioner of public lands and buildings. Alt'io'igh ' ' instructed for Max well , some of the delegates listened to the persuasive pleadings of Commissioner Humphrey fora 'vindication , " and from the very llrst four of these delegates failed to cast their votes for Maxwell , and In each of the succeeding ballots still further cut into the Maxwell vote to keep up the appearance of n continuous and steady loss , until , on the third formal ballot , tha delegation wont solidly to Harrison and there remained. ItamUy Iliiinllod nilmoro. The Flllmore delegation was another into which treachery entered very largely as an ingredient. Hero the work of political as sassination was cntriiKted to John Ilarsuy. > Tbo vote of the delegation was recorded for Maxwell on the informal ballot , but there It stopped , and oif the llrst formal ballot Ita fourth of the delegation was recorded for the opposition. On the second formal ballot the friends of Maxwell in the delegation suc ceeded In overcoming the influence of Bursby > nii'l ' a compromise wan arranged by which : the solid vote was to bo cast once for the chief justice , but It was impossible to hold the bolters In line , and on the very next bal lot the sixteen Fillmore delegate. ! , with lift single exi'i'plion , slid in a lump to Harrison , which , together with the-action of Clay ami Ouster in loading thu break , paved thci way for the Irresistible landslide in the next ballot. Of the twenty-eighl counties instructed for Maxwell , but one-half rnmalned true to the trust reposed and stayed with the chief justice to tha end. Perkins was another that fallol to stand by its instructions and but one of its four Votes was over recorded for Maxwell , K\erf hurl ol jMcuin U rd. Kmissarlesof the opposition displayed the most unblushing effrontery in making bids for treachery on thu part of the Maxwell delegates and coerced concessions when other means failed to scuuru the desired de fection. There was nn ovHnnt determination to ' . ' .o- feat the nomination of Maxwell , either 10by fulr moans or foul , and llio foxi manipula tion of Iho vote by Tom ( 'ook required the closest kind \\iitciilng on the part of divided Maxwell delegations to .sou that the vote was properly recorded , Maxwell was deliberately cheated out of votes when both the Ujuglas and Lam-aster delegations were polled , two of the former that were voted for the chief Justice being recorded for Po'.vell and one of thu latter that was votnil for him being eotmieJ to the credit ndof Abbott Ani'tuer sample of the secretary's'ifalr nous" nun evinced when iho Maxwell men chcnroil the solid twenty-three votes of C : > ss on the informal ballot.

Townloy read the ofllelal call. Not inoro than three-lourllis of the delegates wore In their seats at the time , and the galleries were not inoro than half llllcd. The chairman announced that tlio secre tary had thu list of accredited delegates , anil further stated that there were no con tests or conflicts of any kind , whatever , ns everything in the ropiibltc'aii party was har monious. The secretary began to rcau the list of delegates , but Caldwell of Lancaster moved that the reading of the list of dele gate * bo dispensed with and tha convention agreed. Mr. Cady then introduced George II. Tliuininel ot Hall county as the temporary chairman recommended by the state central committee. The Hall county gentleman dis appointed those who expected the custom- nry address. He simply thanked the con vention for the honor thrust upon him by the committee and asked chu further pleas ure of the delegates.

Took Simp .Inil iiuMit cm iho Start. McKesson of Lancaster moved that an Informal ballot ho taken for a candidate for Judge of the supreme court. This was de clared carried by the chairmanalthough , the motion was made und put to the convention with a celerity that was at least strongly sugL'estiveof a preconcerted arrangement. Windhum of C.iss was on his feet with a protest , but the chair informed bun that ho was too lato. A. K. Cady insisted that the convention should deal fairly with all In terests. He said that In all fairness the convention should vote to reconsider Me Kesson's motion in view of the fact that the chairman had neglected to put the negative side of the question. Chairman Thummcl denied the imputation cast upon him by the chairman of trio state central committee. Ho declared that ho had nut both sides of the question. The chair suavely announced that if any gentle man who voted in the allirnmiivo desired to move a reconsideration , ho was at liberty to do so. Judge Hays of Norfolk picked up the Im plied challenge alid stated that he had voted in the alllrmativc , und in the interest of fair play would move a reconsideration. Upon division the chair counted 45S votes in favor of reconsideration and declared that inasmuch as a two-thirds majority would be [ required , the motion was lost. On motion of Ben Baker of Omaha , a com i- mittee of nine wasappointcd lo draft resold- tions for the consideration of thu convention. The chair later announced the following members of that committee : Haker of Douglas , Hammond of Ood--e , Collins of Lancaster , Watson of Otoe , Clark of Iloonc , Mel'heoley of Kearnov.

This view of Iho situation Is doubted hero , as * alT-iir.s have assumed n serious aspect not only in Ulo do Jancito but also tn Ulo Grande do Sul , where the revolutionists are now supreme. All the efforts of the latter are now con centrated In nn attempt to crush the Castlt- hlsla's governor of llio province of Hlo Grundodo Sul. Doclslvobattles are tnoincn- turily expected in the cities of Ute Grande do Sul , Porto Alogroa and Pelot.is. Uepjrts from the Hurald's correspondent In Ulo do Janloro have Just boon received hero giving additional inform lUon as to the disturbances in that city about the inove- inentsof Mello's rouel fleet und the land forces under President Poixoto. Dutnlls of it SU irp right. The irovernment troops niado u determined effort on September 25 to occupy Cobras Island. Tliis island Is in the bay about a milo from Ulo do Janeiro and is ono of the most strongly fortified posts in that vicinity , having been considered ono of the chief de fenses of the city. It Is In the possession of the neutrals , that clement In Bra/il which includes some odlcars of the n ivy who have taken no Bide In the struggle between Mello Holxoto. The troops met with a spirited resistance. As soon as the Intention of the land forces became apparnnt to the llect , the shins opened a brisk lire , which the soldiers were unable to withstand. They were re pulsed witjh sovcro losses , but thu number of killed anil wotiudod is concealed. During the firing the city was slightly damaged by sono : 01 the shells which fell among buildings and in the streets. The troops renewed the attemut to take the Isl and next day , but again met with defeat. The neutrals still retain the post. Peixoto is determined to take Cobras island , but tlio fleet Is alert and is well supplied with am munition and provisions , while the army is short of both and has little prospect of re plenishing Us stores , as there is a dangerous lack of supplies in the city. I.iMarft uf Ij'iml ForccA. The troops have mot with several losses in the recent engagements. It was during the lighting which attended the movement against Cobras island that the English bank cleric was killed , as told in former dispatches to the llera'd. After the adjournment of congress martial law was declared for fifteen t days. Peixoto ordered the shore batteries 1 to lire on every vessel coming within range. This proceeding stirred the diplomatic corps to action , and the president was asked if ho wished Kio do Janeiro to bo considered n fortified city. If not , ho wiis" told tlio shore batteries must bo removed. The insurgents made u successful raid on the Gumboa district on the night of Septem ber ! M. They captured several coal barges and obtained possession of munitions of war for Mollo's ships. The fleet was already well provided with supplies , and with this added stock need have no fear on the score of powder and provisions. WinTr > liiB to IVrpi'ic n Slilp. Additional details have been learned of the oapturo of Ur. Boynton by a British warship. As told in dispatches to the Herald a few days ago , Iloynton , who is an American , was on u tug boat which was Hying tlio British flag , and was engaged in an attempt to blow up the Brazilian flagship Aquinabal. The tug wan equipped with tor- pcdoos. She was Intercepted by the English cruiser Kacer , and Boynion and the others who were associated with him in the de signs against tlio Brazilian ship were taken into custody and carried aboard the British vessel. They were subsequently turned over to Captain Picking ot the United States war ship Charleston , who asked Secretary Herbert for instructions us to what ho should do with the conspirators. Tlio presidential campaign in Montovlcdo is becoming most interesting. Tajcs , the candidate of the socialists , is meeting with bitter opposition in tnis city , where Ell.iuri Is a favorite. Both factions are hostile to the present president , who is a supporter of Hllauri. Mill IIiinilmrltliiB Kio.

Shot and shell from the ships are being thrown intoj the city , while the shore batteries manned by Peixoto's forces are returning the tire of the squadron. The greatest alarm prevails In the Brazilian capital , which Is in an absolute state inof panic. Business has been entirely suspended ' , banks have closed , the bjurso has been made to prolong nil commercial transactions , and every man , woman und child who can do so Is fleeing from Iho cily , t'rightful outrages arc being perpetrated by Peixoto's soldiers , who are committing munter and robbery , and apparently are be yond all restraint. 1Cny They have killed many ilefenselcbh people and generally plundered b to res and private residences. Their excesses , which began several days ago , .is described In dispatches to hove Herald , and which at that time drove many families from the city , nave Increased tn ferocity during the panic caused by the oombardmeiilof llio city.

These expeditious abound iu chances for the soldiers to indulge unchecked in the most atrocious abuses. All the nngllsb residents oft city have btien warned by the British minister to * cscapo from Hlo do Janeiro , ns the rebel licet has given notlco of Us Intention tt011 to continue the bombardment. Postal facilities have been suspended nnd Peixoto Is searching all the | > osts that enter and leave the city. Tho- sympathies of the entire city are with Mollo. Poixoto Is blamed for drawing the firaof the fleet upon the . town. Ho opened nro from the shore batteries on iho Moot , which replied to his guns. It Is argued that by this notion Ibo president drew the flrfe of Iho squadron on Iho I city , for It Is believed that had ho kept | his guns quiet Mello would not have renewed the bombardment , Commanders of iho foreign mcn-of-wnr In the harbor remain inactive , as they lire un decided what course to pursue.

With the infornvi- lion lliat has reached iho city today from Grand Isle , Cheniers Canu'idu , Bayou Cooktf and the territory thereto adjacent , from , that section lylne upon this side of the river from the upper limits of Iho parish of Plaquemino to the quarantine station , from . . . tbo lake coast and elsewhere , it is now pos sible to give a fair calculation of the loss of life and extent ol damage done by the re cent storm. In the Pointe-a-la-Hacho country the death list today has been swollen to eighty , and the searching parties arc still out , with prospects of iiu-roasing the number to an PIc1 even hundred at , least. The destruction of c1Pi property and crops in iho same vicinity will PiB < Into the thousands. Around Shell Beach and St. Mate the list of dead Is about thirty. On the Mississippi sound and vicinity probably a score of people have been loai with reports coming In that thoCliendelcur islands were swejil by the waves and great damage resulted'with attendant loss of life. The loss to shipping will amount to many thousand dollars , It is pretty well determined that tbo loss of llfo in the Bayou Cook county will ap I- proximate -OJ. Scores of fishing smack.i and luggers have been destroyed and thu country swept clean of its bouses. ( ir.ind Isln'rt l. < i Modltlml. Kellablo news from Grand Isle reaching here l ( this morning shows the loss of llfo there will not exceed twenty-five , and strangely enough all are negroes. The island had a miraculous escape , due to the fact that the land upon it is higher than that of Chcnicro and to the further fact that , it was less exposed to tlje fickleness of the wind and wave and the fury of the . elements. Muny houses were blown down .ei bricks were scattered In every direction massive oaks were lient and even huge bars of iron were picKcd up and sc.ulereu by , Iho wind , The property damage will bo h Iho noighnorhood of $100,000. On Grand Terre , part of Fort Livingston , which was built of brick and bad ii inabsivo foundation , caved oil' into the gulf , while the Livingstone lighthouse was unscathed. Tlio Chcnicro population was MU ( In round figures , and thu loss of life there Is some.- where between 1X13 and 1,000.

The senate spent the entire day. cxcep a few minii'os in the morning , behind closed doors in Iho consid eration of executive business. The greatest part of the day was devoted to the discus sion of the alleged violation of tbo homo ru principle in the appointment of men as In agents in one state who live in another. There were live of those cases , and in each case a republican hid been removed to make place fora demo crat. : The appointments were as follows : orV \V L. Hargrave of Indiana , at Western Shoshone - shone ageney , Nevada ; Isaac. ! . Walters of Ujlawaio ; , at Nevada agency , Nevada ; Uob- jjt Allen ot Illinois , at White Karth , Minn. ; James A. Smith of Mississippi , at Yankton , S.Pi U. ; Joseph Robinson of Missouri , ut No/ 1'erces. Idaho. Senators of the various states to which these men had been appointed look excep tion to the appointments and freely ex pressed the opinions they had given out freely heretofore. They complained as ono man of the violation of iho home rule doc trine , and called attention to the fact thai in making appointments the president had violated the pledges of his own party plat form. They also showed that In no instance were the states into which men bad boon imported for the purpose of Illling the oilices democratic. In polities , and asserted that in making appointments , the president was hardly treating his own partv fairly in those states. stSi Senators Davis , Wasbburn , Shoup , Dubols , Stewart nnd Jones are all understood to have expressed themselves upon the subject and to have been endorsed by virtually the entire - tire republican side of the senate. Indeed , there came nearer bring a division on party lines ' on the votes taken upon their con Urina tion , than upon any question whicli lias arisen ( during the present session , and many of the republicans expressed their BOII- tiincnts iu short speeches before voting , some of which were quite animated. scdi There was at tunes considerable'feeling displayed in the speeches. Senators Voor- bees , Palmer and others of the democratic side defended the president stoutly. Two democrats , Hill of New York and Martin of Kansas , voted with the republicans , as did Allen' , populist , of Nebraska. Murphy of Now York was paired against confirmation. The first vole was upon the confirmation of Allen , and ho was continued by u vote of 1M tf 21. while the vole on the other cases .stood Ii ! to ! iIn favor of confirmation. Mtl After tbo Indian agencies were disposed ol the appointment of Henry W. Smith of Vir ginia to bo chief juslico of New Mexico wc.s taken ; up and the same fight was made upon him us upon the Indian agents , except llint itnl was not so fierce or so long-drawn out. Ik also was confirmed by a party vote. The appointment of J. J. Van Alen as am bassador to Italy and of liobert Preston as director of the mini went over , as there wub no time for their consideration. There will be opposition in the senate on both of these , notwithstanding the recommendations of tbo committee which has reported them , but both will bo confirmed beyond question. The nomination of Mr. Hornblower for ofthe supreme court was not re ceived. Itctv. .ItiiicH Again on till1 : : ; : ' . WASHINGTON , Oct. ! > . Rev.

New YOHK , Oot. " . . Ballled by light winds , the yachts Vigilant and Valkyrie , which started today on the llrst of the interim- tlonal races for the America's cup , were com pelled to abandon the contest. U was Just 5:10 : o'clock in the afternoon , when a tug tool : the Vnlkyrle in tow , and the dismal tooting of whistles announced the failure of the day's sport. The Knglish cutter was then a mile in advance of the Vigilant , and the point froiu which they hail started almost six hours before was yet miles away. It was keen a disappointment to the thou sands who had stood by the rails and clung to the vantage ground on board the steamers all day. The overpowering attraction of the big race between the ICnglish and American prize winners drew the biggest fleet that over sailed to Sandy Hook to son a yacht race. And every boat was crowded , too. Not ono on board had thought other than of the outcome of the llrst contest of the ships , for in that result Mioy could foreshadow the coming contests. The fair god who looks out for landsmen , however , made a material change of the en tire program. From a dull , misty , threatening - ing day , it changed toward noon to nil brightness and balmlncss. The little wind tnat promised ' something in the morning al most die'd away in the afternoon , and JiiBt before sunset , when tlio huge ball glowed through a bank of mist , there was scarce u ripple on the water and not more than a breath of air stirring. Wiiuld HIIVII Wvlcmiind n Cyclone. Kvon the tall of a cyclone , which a few of the weather bureau's advocates had promised - ised , would have been preferable to the inn- Ull ing catspaws that merely touched the Happing : sails of tlio yachts. There was not tr.uch of the " "wotsheot and tr.ai the flowing sea" and a wind that follows fast nbout the race ol today. It was aggravating , but It wa landsmen not yachtsmen that had the first call , They were both tuoro , yachtsmen and landsmen alike. They were filled with en thusiasm and hope and expectation early in the day , and when the niirht came they simply did not know what to think. The fact that it was necessary to tow in both boats , and that tliero wore still several miles of the course to traverse , made the crowds inoro uncertain at nightfall than tlioy had been the previous day. Even the prospect of an additional race failed to turn the disappointment into Joy. Folluwml tliu Itucnm. A long streak of craft , from iron steamers to towhoats , swept past the Battery and down through the narrows almost Irdm daybreak. All the way down the cnurso to ho stake boat the big llotllla followed the racks and when tLoy dnnv , like a hollow quaro. of guardsmen , they resembled a. nlnlaluro world's exposition more than inythlng else. Once around the stake boat , ind standing out for the homeward Journey , the favorites of two nations still had the same faithful following. What little breeze had sprung up was fair with the racers , and screw paddles and wheel paddles were kept in motion for a few nilcs run on the roturn. But It had taken four houri to reach the stake boat and It was evident long before the VJilkyrlo rounded the turn that unless a veritable gale prung up it would bo practically impossible to finish the race Insldo the six-hour tlmo iimit. And so it proved. Fifteen minutes Lieforo the limit the yachts the gave uji con tests. It was a day of thorough disappointment to the lovoi-K of the sport , There was as n , matter of fact , no teat between the yaohu. Allowing that the cutter is a bettor model for reaching and running , as all naval archi tects do , It has to bo admitted that the Valkyrie had everything her own way. hUrtuil In l.odil Mylii , The wind was close to duo northeast , and the regatta committee decided that the boats should start away to the leeward for the llrst fifteen miles , -md return to wind ward. It was only forty seconds uftor the starting gm ; was fired that the Vigilant got over tlio line which was drawn between the May and the Sandy Hook lightship. Just beloro the line was passed the Vigilant dropped her spinnaker bourn to starboard and hung up her big sldc'sall In a Jiffy. The KnglUh boat was about six lengths behind on the lea quarter , und succco Jed In setting bur spinnaker In only nbout twenty seconds less tlmo than did the American , Within about tuo miles the centcrboard had gained at least half u minute In tlmo appar ently , Tliu Valkyrie's top Jllwail was drawing very poorly , whllo the VIgllant's was doing good work. There was not enough wind to balloon out any xall on either , bill. Mich as there was helped the American boat moru than the ICnglish. Dur ing the llrst two miles the broczo trt'shoncd up a bit.
