BOSTON , Sept. 2C George Trcd Williams
was nominated for governor of Massa
chusetts by silver delegates to the state
democratic convention , who held tholi scata
In Music hall throughout the night , was en
dorsed in the street by other silver dele
gates , who were kept out of the hall by po
lice officers , was nominated In Pan mill lall
by a convention called by the sta'o commit
tee whose actlorr In giving tlcknts to § , old
delegates only started the ruse of 'holding
thu fort" lu Music hall through 'he night i
and was also nominated by the populist Elate
convention When the Fancull ball conven
tion nominated Williams sixteen gold mem
bers of the state committee resigned , bolted ,
railed another convention jnd r/accd in
nomination a full ticket headed by Trcd-
crick 0. Prince for governor and a full Hat
of Palmer electors
Unique arrd picturesque as have been
scores of notable political , contests In this
city , none approached that which last right
nnd today wiought up the entire comtmmi'y
to Its wildest pitch of excitement , an 1 icve *
lias there been such an anomalous result as
was shown at the close of the day , when
three conventions , held In different sc-'t'ons
of the city , named the same man for the
head ot the ticket. The factional f.ght In
the ranks of the hitherto unPed Massa
chusetts democracy can bo traced Lcck to
the Chicago convention last July , when , in
the struggle between gold and silver , George
Tied Williams and a few others boldly kfi
the majority of the Massachuse ts delegation
and voted for the free arrd unlimited colncgc
of sliver. Slnco that time the 'rift In the
lino" has gradually become wider and more
bitter and charges of "traitors" and "would
be dictators" have been bandied about freely
STARTS THU FUN HIM3CLF.
The climax was reached last evening wLcn ,
In the big Ilryan rally lu Music hall , Mr
Williams accused the leaders with wanting
to control the state convention and rcqucstcu
all thoeo who were In favor of his nomina
tion to stay all night Irr ' .heir setts , si that
no move might be made which would deprive
them of fulfilling the program which had
been marked out by the silver leaders This
COO of his followers obeyed to the Irttei ,
and through the night the vUll nas kept
Uvory kind of Ingenuity was tried to make
the men vacate. Thu police were called
upon to clear the hall , but the > oung law
yers In the silver movement mudo that ef
fort unsuccessful and as a result the eloori
were kept locked until 3 40 this afternoon
Urlght and eaily today thousands of .neir ,
scores of whom were delegates from out of
town , assembled around Music hall , expect
ing the doors to be opened at any moment
that a compromise might ensue Ovcr"rres
were made by the members of the state cen
tral committee and they were rejected by the
men In possession of the hall , who were fear
ful of treachery. The men on the outslnu
then organized In Hamilton Place , In re
sponse to the suggestion of Hon Timothy
W. Coaklcy , the locked-ln leadei of the nli-
\er men , nnd whatever business was trans
acted In the hall was endorsed by the out
side meeting. The state committee then
went to Farreull hall , where a convention
was held and the national candidate and th > .
Chicago platform were endorsed and Hon
George Fred Williams was nominated for
gubernatorial honors. This action was plo-
testcd by a number of gold dtandard demo
crats , who withdrew In a body and placed
n ticket favorable to Palmer and Huckner
In the field err nomination pipers In Wcs
loyan hall the ntntn imivontlmi of tlio pupu-
llst party was held and Immediately they
lieaid that Williams hud been nominated
UH the frco sliver candidate for jjoxernoi
they followed suit and placed him at the
head of their ticket
Not for eighteen years at least , If
ever , In the history of the democratic
party In Massachusetts , has the day
of n state * convention dawned with eo many
ticrraatlonal preliminaries to the formal or
ianUatlon ot the assembling delegates nnd
BO much uncertainty us to the developments
of the convention.
As a result of the refusal of the state
committee , which IB controlled by the gold
standard men , to admit delegates to the
convention hall by credentials alone and
not by ticket , and the sensational speech of
George Tied Williams , the silver leader
nnd candidate for the democratic nomination
( or governor , daylight found over COO silver
delegates Intrenched in Music hall , where
the convention wuu to meet at 11 o'clock , de
termined to remain until the mooting ad
journed In spile ot alt opposition , while the
ctato committee of the gold men were lu
conference at the qulncy house trying to
formulate n plan to get the belligerents
out of thu hall and meet the emergency
In 1S7S. when General II F Duller vvaf
tire greenback candidate for governor , hit
eupporteis captured tire convention lull and
adopted similar plans for holding It until
the convention organized , but oven that con
test was nbt 10 repletn In unique , and sen
eatlonal featuuo as the fight Inaugurate '
last night by Ml. Williams and tils fol
lowers.
HCSIIRID : : IN Tin : HALL
When | lii > slvcr | men nrinouncecr last nigh'
that they intended to etay ID the hall
until the convention was over a larse forei
of jiollco began to form on om side of tin
hall and on the streets nwr by , and It was
rumored that the delcsatrs would be
ejected by the olllcer * . llut representative *
of the ullver men conform ! with General
Martin of the Hoard of Police , and In spile
of thu efforts of the Kdld men to ecturc un
order for Ihe ejection of the opposition dele
eaten , ( he blue coats wcm Inntrmtcd U
withdraw , and Ihe waiting silver nun pro
ceedcHl to kill time by sprccli making , card
playing ami slrrgluK. Tiicu the manage ! of
the building requested thsm to disperse , and
when they refused policemen were stationed
at the doors under orders to allow anyone
who wished to go out , but not to permit any
to return Caterers bearing lunch ordered
by the silver cohorts were refused admission
and then the tired and hungry politicians
began to exercise their Ingenuity In an
effort to smuggle refreshments Into the
building.
The most tragic and serious Incident of
the night resulted from those persistent at
tempts to secure supplies. James Hughes ,
a delegate from Somcrvllle losing his life
In an effort to get out of the hall by a fire
escape In the- rear Hughes wa preparing
to Jump to the ground fifteen feet below ,
when his foot slipped and In trying to
save hlmeelt he seized a wire dangling near
The wire was a live one , and with an
agonized cry , Hughes fell senseless on thr
flro escape , and then tumbled to the ground ,
where he died before anyone could reach
himThe
The news of the accident reached the dele-
Kates within the hill and they wore aroused
to the highest pitch of excitement when
Hon John II. Molten announced It from the
platform and declared that It was a murder
for which the gold members of the state
committee were responsible There were
several speeches In criticism of the com
mittee nnd resolutions on the death of Mr.
Hughes were finally agreed upon to he pre
sented to the convention today
The gathering sorn quieted down again
and while card playing was resumed by
many , the majority went to sleep Soon
after a break was made in the Hires of the
enemy at some unknown point , nnd largo
baskets of sandwiches and cans of coffee
were carried Into the hall. Evidently there
was a secret entrance by which delegates
could return to the hall also , for the num
ber slowly Increased toward C o'clock am
an hour later Hon T W Coikley reported
that a roll call showed that 5r 0 delegates
with credentials were present. At 2 30 a rn
theio were apparently no more than 300
In the building.
HOLDING THE FORT.
Shortly after 7 o'clock Secretary Nathar :
C. Robinson of the state committee , a gold
man. appeared at the hall and asked the
managers It they would be ready to deliver
the hnll cleared of the silver men to the
committee at 11 o clock , the hour at which
the convention was scheduled to open Man1
ager Mudgctt said there were over COO men
In the hall who had credentials to the con
ventlon as delegates , and he did not see
how ho could legally remove them Secre
tary Robinson then retired and proceeded
tn the Oulncy house , where the distribu
tion ot tickets of admission to the conven
tion hall to delegates holding credentials
was begun.
A few minutes before 11 o'clock Hon
George Fred AVIlllams , with Secretary Den
nison of the Bryan-Sowall-Wllllams club and
a number of delegates left the American
house for Music hall. They declared that
all delegates holding credentials should he
admitted to the hall. About the same time
the gold men at the Qulncy house wore
preparing to march to the hall. The gold
men at the Qulncy house bent a committee
of two members to the hall to ascertain If
the convention could bo held , and If the
gold delegation would bo admitted without
delay when It appeared at the doors. The
committee reported that they could not get
near the doors and the. gold delegates then
decided to march to the hall at noon and
demand admission , If they were not notified
before then that they could get In.
Hundreds of delegates were gathered In
front of Muslc'lull , clamoring for admis
sion when 10 o'clock , the hour announced
for the opening of the doors , arrived They
clamored In vain , hovevcr Theodore W
Coakli-y of UeJston , one of the silver leaders
appeared at one of the windows of the naTI
and advised the Williams' delegates on the
oulsldo to organize and semV a committee
to meet Mr Williams and co-operate with
him In bringing about the opening ot the-
lonvciuion In the hall , Mr. Coallev said ,
there were about 700 duly accredited dele
gates holding the fort err the Inside , and
he advised his fi lends to hold the foit on the
outside The outsiders adopted Mr. Coak-
ley's suggestions , and thu time before Mr
Williams could bo brought to the hall was
spent In spccchnmklng.
WILLIAMS ON THE SCENE.
At about 10 20 Mr. Williams reached the
scene. He said that no one knew why the
delegates who had tickets wore not ad
mitted to thu hall , but undoubtedly he
would have some knowledge as soon as
the committee that has been sent to call
on Chairman Corcoian icturncd "When
wo get Inside. " ho declared , "we will admit
every man who has credentials" Ho warned
the crowd that it must bo oiderly and that
police were present to piotcct pioporty.
"Glvo the doois a little dynamite , "
yelled a man in the crowd hut ho was vig
orously hissed nnd suppressed , cries of "Put
that mm down , " arising on every side
A few momenta bcforo noon , word came
from the Insldo of the hall that the
delegates thcru had organized a convention
George Fred Wllllims then addressed the
ciowd arrd said ' The state committee re
fuses to opc-n these doors Wo have ix
regular convention organized and In opera
tion on the inside of tltla hall We are
about to get another hall vhero the dele
gates can gather , and will hav.1 a full re
port ot tln > convention on the Inside Tire
second convention will endorse the action
of tlrat now In session with hi. Wo feel
confident that wo have five-sloths of the
delegates from the state on our dldc Stind
light where you aie until you bear from
me"
Shortly afterward a messenger from the
gold standard democrats announced from a
carriage that the state convention wan about
tu iiEscmblu Irr ranucll hall A fuw hundred
left thu vicinity of Mtruto hall and followed
thu messenger to Panuell hall. Then tliurc
appeared a nun who ? ald that he vras a

commissioners to enforce- tire ordinance

adopted a resolution in conformity with
this representation and despatched a com
mittee to the city hall to ask that the doors
of Music ball be broken open.
The DOO delegates favoring George Frpd

LONDON , Sept. 26. So far as the metrop
olis Is concerned , September thus far has
been remarkable for two things Plrst , the
exceptionally heavy rainfall and the great
gale of icstcrday , which , bchldes sweeping
the coasts of thu Diltlsh Isles and doing
much damage to shipping , cut off much
ot London's telegraphic communication with
the outside world The effect on business
was notable Secondly , the death rate for
London has been extraordinarily light , fallIng -
Ing last week to 14 G per 1,000 Inhabitants
In London as against an average of 1C 1 for
every 1.000 Inhabitants In thlity-threo great
towns In the country.
Mr Hurr , the expert who Is examining
the Drltlsh archives on behalf of the Vene
zuelan Boundary commission , appointed by
President CleveHnd , and his colleague , Ir
Keen are still In London , though soon to
take their departure In an interview with
a representative oC the Associated press Mr
Hurr said : "Dr. Keen and I will start for
The Hague on Sundav Wo have finished
our work In the British colonial office and
have seen even thing they have bearing

In the office producing everthing for us

the British mu eum Friday. Wo have had
several discussions with the officials rela
tive to the correctness and validity of the
facts adduced , even although they did not
touch upon any miestlon of Importance In
connection with the controversy. All the

HATiicn or Tiin SULTAN
The remarkable \loknco of the rjngllsh
agitation which was conducted against the
sultan Is shown by the character of the
oplthots which have been hurled at him by
the usually moderate speaking English
people. Mr. Gladstone's epithet of the
"great assassin" seems to have set the
fashion , the duke of Westminster follow
ing with "fiend Incarnate , " iarl Spencer
preferring "representative of a diabolical
and atrocious government. " The term ap
plied by William Watson , the poet , "Abdul ,
Iho damned , " In his series of sonnets on
the Armenian auestlon perhaps finds the
least frequent repetition ot anj of them
The press Is no whit behind In Its sensa
tional dealings with the subject by the most
lurid headllies In the newspapers and
posters to advertise them The Chronicle
Is printing scries " "
a ot "murder maps" on
the subject.
The visit of the czar to the British Isles
has revived a romantic story which was
first published In England In 1S5-I ami which
has been periodically revived since. The old
story alleges that the C ar Paul , while once
visiting In London , became enamored of a
beautiful Scotch woman n Irani he met here
and whoso family name was McGregor. The
czar , It is Bald , took the beautiful Scotch
woman back to Uussla with him where she
gave birth to a son who became , In time ,
the Czar Nicholas I , great grandfather of
the prcscut C7ar ,
The Scotland Yard detectives who are
guarding the czar during his stay at Dal-
rnoral report that ho Is enjoying the drives
arranged for him there moro than anything
slnco his arrival All accounts agree that
the czar Is delighted with the domesticity
which ho finds at Balmoral When ho leaves
Portsmouth for Kranee , which will bo on
October 3 , ho will bo escorted by British
war ships until they meet the French war
ship wnich will then take up the escort
A new expedition on novel lines Is being

LONDON , Sept 2C The wearisome Ar
rnenlan question has almost absorbed pub-
lie attention during the week The proposal
of Mr Gladstone to withdraw the British
ambassador from Constantinople- give
thp Turkish ambassador here his conge is
discussed liv all the weeklj newspapers ,
but It finds little favor and is looked upon
as be'ng ' simply a policy of crjlng "Hoo '
which will have absolutely no good elTect
upon the sultan All eyes are now turned
toward Halrnoral , where the arrival toda >
ot the marquis of Salisbury will , It Is hoped
mark a turning point In Great Britain's
position toward the powers The British
premier will stay several dajs at Balmoral
and there Is little doubt that he will util
ize his time In endeavoring to win from
Iho car a recognition of the disinterested
character ot Great Britain's policy toward
Turkey and arringe a basis for- joint , action
'
which will render' further massacres Im
possible.
On the continent Mr. Gladstone's speech
was rccelvo.l different ! } In the various coun
tries The Trench press has expressed un
usually favorable opinions of It and even
the notoriously Anglophobe organs gl > e It
generous praise The Libre Parole describes
H as the finest Mr. Gladstone has ever made
and one which "stigmatizes most mag
nificently the crime of Huropean diplomacy
of the past year" In fact that comments of
the press generally indicate that France
has at last awakened to the enormities of
Turkish misrule and that she will welcome
an understanding between Russia and Great
Britain which will enable them to take Joint
and effective action at Constantinople. In
Austria and German } , however , the news
papers scoff at Mr Gladstone's proposal re
garding the ambassadors which Is character
ized as fanatical and frivolous

tion rteelved from a good source by the
correspondent of the Assoilntinl press , ntl
agreement has been reached between tha
Uusslarr and German governments to exer
cise pressure upon the other European gov
ernments to bring about an Intern itlonal
agreement to deal with arrnrchlst plots and
plotters , and , If possible , to cause a revi
sion of the International extradition treaties.
This entente resulted from the meeting ot
the czar and llrnpcror William at Hiealau.
M. ShslsUine , the1 acting Uusslarr minister
for forelmi affairs , Is trjlng to gain the
adhesion of Prance to the arrangement , and
an cxihaugo of rrotes between Germany ,
Austria ami Itulj Is also proceeding In
addition It Is hoped that Gnat Britain , lit
view of the djnamlte plots said to have
been discovered by Scotland Yard , will Join
In the scheme by which anarchists and all
advocates of phjslcal force will be classed
among common cr Inrlnnls for extradition
purposes PENSION LIST GROWS.
The large number of generals and other
high Prussian olllcers who have been placed
on the retired list since the late army
maneuvers has led the Vosslscho Zcltutig
to point out that since the accession of Em
peror William , file Prussian generals have
been retired and that -70 retired generals
arc btlll living from before his accession ,
adding Hut altogether 757 Prussian generals
are drawing pensions Other newspapers.
Including some of the conservative organs ,
are Joining in the complaints , and tUatluir
that the average age of the retired generals
Is reduced every year This j car it Is B5 ,
against G3 in 1S90 Another long list of re
tirements Is expected within a fortnight ,
and It It coDbldered certain that the Ilclch-
ntap this wlntor vw"lll't'alse the matter up.
Iho budget commission will Insist that full
light be shed Upon the matter , and will
ask for guaranty that the rejuvenation era
will be closed before the commission passes
the next military budget Moreover , there.
Is considerable Indignation at the fact that
the emperor has hlghlv decorated the three
chiefs of his military cabinet Hahnke , Pies-
sen and Arnlm , and that the hill providing
for reform In military triolii has again been
sent to the minister for war , In order to re
vise It and frame It more In accordance *
with his majesty's wishes , and less In ac-
cordinco with popular wishes. The bill
Itself will not reach the Helchstag until late.
