It waa nomi nated at Washington hull yesterday after noon In a convention remarkable for the enthusiasm that prevailed and for the In tone Intornnt manlfeatod In the proceedings by the rank and file of the party. The hoJl was packed by ono of the larg est crowds that ever attended a political / invention In Douglas county. The dele gates were crowded by hundreds of specta tors who surged through the aisles and wedged thomsclvoa compactly In the lobby und galleries. During the half-hour preceding - coding the call to order the econo waa ani mated beyond nil precedent. Hundreds of oxcltod men. were elbowing their way through the crush , fixing combinations , buttonholing uncommitted delegates and endeavoring to supplement the strength of favorita candidate * ! . * The only unrepubllcan feature on the t s program was caused by a desperate effort ot Chairman Burlxiuk of the county commit tee to arrogate to himself the cholco of a .1 temporary chairman In the face of the . overwhelming sentiment of the delegates. This led to a spectacle of rlotoua con fusion for a few minutes , during which a crowd of Webster pluggers , who had been InsTtod in the lobby , created most of the tumult. The matter was very quickly set tled , by the convention , however , and from that'tlmo to the end the proceedings were euthunlaetlo and harmonious. Cnllrcl to Order. The convention was called to order at 2:30 : and the ante-convention con- fualon gradually merged Into or der. Cluilru.an Burbank of the county contra ! committee Introduced W. A.

A mob of pluggers that the Webster jrowd had Introduced Into the hall tried to howl Connell down , but ho refused to subside. DcBord at tempted to usurp the chair , but Connell nominated John C. Wharton and put the motion. Wharton was elected by a decisive majority and for tbo next few minutes all was turmoil. DoBord continued to proceed with the organization end so did Wharton , J. A. Tucker was elected temporary secretary , while the Web- oter crowd called for George Crolgh. A com mittee on credentials was appointed by Mr. Wharton nnd retired to deliberate. ' 'All this tlmo the confusion con tinued , both chairmen were talkIng - Ing at once nnd two conven tions were apparently doing business In the hall. Then A. II.

( Now York World Ca blegram Special Telegram. ) Tha report of the negotiation of tbe r.ngllah syndicate to purchase the Now York relate of William Waldorf Astor In generally discredited In financial circles In London. Absolutely no Information on the subject U to be got from the employes of Astor , who hare been given Imperative orders to keep their mouths closed. City men think Astor Is too astute to rink the Iras which would certainly follow the placing of suoh huge sums of money In English securities , as the markets would rule high the Instant It became known that the money from the ealc of Astor's American realty was to bo placed In English securities. At present Astor In Identified as the holder of a considerable amount of English railway stock which bo has been buying for yenrs , but any attempt on his part to bear the market so ae to buy up larger Interests would bo mot by large demands for the stock by the present holders. Oreat Northern pre ferred stock Is one of his pet securities. The Industrial and commercial markets , espe cially the light railway Industry , will wel come An tor'a money. In fact there IB plenty of scope for Its Investment In London , whore he haa already made largo purchases of freehold property from the duke of Norfolk - folk and Lord Salisbury In the district run ning from the Strand to the Thames em bankment. This property Astor has greatly Improved , building now houses at Increased , ronta. Upon It Is the Astor estate , one of the ! most perfect pieces of medieval architecture | In London. Astor leada a very solitary life when In London. Ho goes down to his olllce at 11:30 : each mornJng , there he attends to his estate and newspaper business fnr a couple of houm , as a rule , and re mains In his office until after 6 o'clock , not even leaving for luncheon. Lunch Is cooked In the office , one part of which Is fitted up with perfect cuisine ar rangements. The chef comes from Cnrlton llousn terrace for the purpose. Astor usu ally lunchcts alone , except when he Is i Joined by his daughter , but he sometimes i Invites Sir Douglas Straight , the editor of I the I'all Moll Gazette , Lord Frederick j Hamilton , the editor of the Pall Mall MagI I nz.lne , or the business manager of the pa pers. After lunch , about 2:30 : o'clock , ho gets the first edition of the Pall Mall Ga zette , which ho goes over with his secre tary , making criticisms and suggestions. Then ho sots to his literary work and It Is believed by his entourage that he has some big book of reminiscences or history on hand , at which he works regularly , con sulting a large number of books of refer ence and occasionally going to the British museum , where he sees the books In thn , private readers' room , or consults scholars engaged In special researches. ; When he Is llvlnc nt Cllvedu'n. his lovely , place on the Thames , which he bought from the duke of Westminster , he comes to town j i Just the same every day except on Saturday - { day and Sunday. Ho seldom goes out to i dinner or entertainments of any kind and j . sees no Americans regularly with the ex- j ceptlon nt Ambassador Choate and First i Secretary Henry White. | ' Astor Is morose and unpopular , and does ' not receive many vlnltors ; but on his re i turn from his Scotch holiday next week he 'will give a reception at Cnrlton House terrace , where big preparations are now being made. This Astor function Is some what strange , as London at present Is eoclally dead. The servants are English ' and the man on the door at Carlton House ' terrace Is Just one of those fellows a child would call a king of men and be dlgap- ] pointed when told the man was only Astor's , ' 'flunky. j I M Cliveden a flrm of builders Is always In possession of some part of the estate and alterations and additions are constantly being made. During the last season the house parties have been very few , and the Astor family has not been seen so much on the river In their steam launch. Astor subscribes pretty largely to various clubs and Institutions In the Maidenhead neigh- j borhood , but ho has made It a rule not * o bo vice president of any of them , although ' ho has been frequently Invited. His name often appears In the Maidenhead Cottage hospital report as the donor of fruit , poultry - ! . try and gamo.

( New York World | ' Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The pur chase of Curzon street chapel , Mayfalr , by the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough has not proved a success. The Idea was the chapel should be pulled down and a new house erected on the site , but so rouny people have seemed horrified nt the Idea that although the ground was never couse- crated the duke and duchess hesitate to carry out their plans. Having 'tiled to obtain Lord Wharncllffo's house , just op posite the chapel , they are trying quietly to buy up a small house In an adjoining street to get more ground. This Is being i done under assumed names , lest prices be | put up. It Is said the duchess thinks the mere suggestion of building a now house on the chapel alto bos brought her bad luck. luck.Reginald Reginald Ward , who has just returned from Mexico , where ho has been inspect ing the Avlno mine , has now gone for a short holiday to Spa.

( Copyright. IS * , by Press Publishing Co. ) LONDON , Sept. 9. ( New York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The craze for motor car riding Is distinctly on the In crease In this country. Manufacturers , either here or In France , cannot turn them out fast enough and leading English firms are overwhelmed with orders. It will be aa great n craze next season In England as It Is In France now and most of tbe cycle makers at Coventry and Dlrmlnshnm are experimenting on motors. Petroleum Is the motive power used In every case. Elec tricity Is rejected owing to the necessity for charging stations. The duke of Westmin ster's now motor wagonette made Its maiden trip this week from Northampton to Lon don , A test of absorbing Interest to American and British railway locomotive builders Is about to be tried on . the Midland railway. The test arises out of a complaint against the directors of the Midland and Oreat Northern railways for sending to America orders for goods and engines which British firms are unable to turn out within a given tlmo. A-J soon as all the American engines are erected they will be placed on regular duty In comparison with a like number of British built engines of approximately equal power and after a lengthened period of test the results will be fairly and Impartially compared. H. A. Ivatt , locomotive superintendent of the Great Northern railway , hag been ex- nmlnlng American engines and says ho cannot - not find any Important part that ought not to last as long or nearly ns long as those of the British engines. Charles Rousniarten , writing nn the subject In the Engineering Magazine , sayo It proved that "American builders can supply locomotives much more quickly and somewhat more cheaply than British makers hitherto have done. If ex- perlence should further prove that the American built locomotives are for all prac- tlcal purposes as goc-d as the British built engines It Is certainly to be expected that the British railway companies will prefer the makers who supply an equally uref ul cnjrlnf and do so more speedily and cheaply. " ? f Tr Armor Pint * * . Interesting experiments on now armor plate for war ships have Just been con- eluded at Shoeburynres , at the mouth of the Thames. Tbe outer plate Is six Inches thick , made of the best steel , the backing consistIng - Ing of a special composition , the nature of which la being kept a secret. The new plates were fired at with a 350-pound projectile at n distance of 200 yards. When black pow der was used the armor plate was after sev eral shots found to be practically uninjured , the shot being In some Instances reduced to powder by the force of the Impact. With cordite It was found that the outer plate could bo penetrated three Inches , and under certain circumstances the shot went right through , but the severest tests failed to crack the plato. In naval warfare a hole made by a ehot below the water line can always be plugged up , but cracked and split armor plates necessitate dry docking. In the case of the new plates , when two shots werfe flred simultaneously , hitting the plato two feet apart , there were still no signs of fracturo. The postmaoter general , the duke of Norfolk - folk , has shown a priflt of nearly $18.000,000 on the working of the British postofflce for the year ending March last. The number of postal packets of every kind delivered during th ? year was 8,496,000,000 , London re ceived 28 pei rent of the total of letters poeted. The welfare of the working classes is shown In the Increase of pnstofllco savings bank deposits , which now stand nt $615,000- 000. There wan an Increase of C per cent In telegrams. The staff of the p ° stofllco was Increased by 10,000 employes during the year and now stands at 160,000 , of whom 32,000 are females. KiiKlniii ! ' * Trnde InerenHca.

" Under the tltlo "Now Between Them and Ourselves , " Henri Turot , the celebrated ' Parisian , Journalist and prwput lieutenant of Jean Jaurca , haa written n statement which representH accurately the tone of the article sent from Ronncs to Paris tonlngt by nil the Dreyfusard Journalists. M. Turot Is well known In the United i States because of his numerous duels. One or two years ago ho fought with Anna Gould's husband , Count Bonl do Castellano. M. Turot recently returned from the Phll- Ipplnes , where ho was delegated by the French Society of Political Economy to study American operations and prospects. Follow ing Is his statesmen ! : "Tho nationalists had sought to put this problem before the Hennes court-martial , 'Mercler or Dreyfus ? ' "Tho abominable tactics has been suc cessful and flvo criminals , flvo wretches usurping the uniform of French olllrers have again condemned the Innocent captain to save the general who was convicted as a liar and forger. "And yet. In order to avoid giving any pretext for this monstrous conception of a purely Judicial role , Labori , with sublime abrogation , had renounced his privilege to expose the corruption of the high staff. "Now , the folly of this sparring Is far seen. The era of prudent attenuations has closed between this ferocious militarism ' and the friends of progress. The war will j continue between the facts now without ' mrcy and without poEfilblo end save their destruction or ours.

RENNES , Sept. 9. The expected has hap- pi-ut'd. Dreyfus has 'been condemned , but though n majority of these In the court room this afternoon 'expected the verdict , they were completely stupclU'd when it was given. The silence which prevailed In the room , when men turned pale and caught their breath , was more linprivslvo than any other manifestation could have been. Maltra Demango sank back In his chair and tears trickled down his cheeks and Maltro La bori turned whlto as a sheet , while all around the court room looked at each ether In sllcnco. Positively the only sound to bo hoard was the rustling of papers from the reporters' benches as each press representa tive tried to bo first to send the news. As the audience left the court room fully ten or fifteen men were crying openly and the majority of Uioso present walked quietly down the street for more than a block without KpcaMng a word. It was llko a funeral procession. DrryfiiN Hour * III * Srnionne. Meanwhile a tragedy was being enacted In the llttlo room off the court room , whore Dreyfus listened to the reading of the ver dict. Ho had been told the result by his lawyers and had wept bitterly , but when In the presence of the officials of the court- martial ho listened Impaealvcly to the sen tence. His wife , who was waiting In torture and suspense nt her house , 'bore the news bravely and when visiting her husband this after noon showed the onlookers who were In the streets no slgr of her suffering as she walked from her carriage to the prison. Mathleu Droyfua was not present in oourl this afternoon , but vlnlted .his brolhur aitef the verdict had been rendered. Ho found him perfectly calm and without any mani festation of surprise at the finding of the court. The prisoner simply shrugged his shoulders , uttering an expressive "bah ! " adding as he embraced his brother as tbe latter was preparing to leave : "Console my wlfo. " I'arilon Looked For. The general belief Is that Dreyfus will bo pardoned , but this will not satisfy hla friends , who vehemently declare that they will refuse to accept the verdict and will continue the battle until the judgment ia reversed. The verdict , they say. Is directed more against the Jews than against Droy- fiie , and If allowed to Btand will make their existence In Krance impossible. Mnltre Labori and Maltro Dcmange took the midnight train for Paris. They drove to the station In a closed carriage , escorted by four mounted gendarmes. The road was practlcaHy deserted and no demonstration occurred en route or at the station. Maltro Domange and Maltro Labori will tomorrow sign nn application for a revi sion of the case , although there Is no hope that the verdict will bo reversed. Both are very rauoh upset , but It cannot be said that they were surprised. Text of the Judgment. The text of the Judgment Is as follows : Today , the flth of September , 1S99. the court-martial of the Tenth Legion army corps , deliberating behind closed doors , the president put the following question : "IH Alfred Droyfus , brevet captain , Four teenth regiment of artillery , probationer on the general staff , guilty of having In 1894 en. tereil Into machlnatlonu or held relations with a foreign power or ono of Its agents to Induce It to commit hostility or undertake against Franco or procure It the means therefor by delivering the notes and docu ments mentioned In tbo document * ! culled tbo bordereau according to the decision of the court of cassation of June 3 , 1899 ? " The votes wore taken separately , begin ning by the Inferior grade and youngest In the last grade , the president having given his opinion last. The court declares on the question by a majority of flvo votes to two : "Yes , thn accused la guilty. " The majority agreed that there are ex tenuating circumstances , In consequence of which and on the request of the commis sary of the government the president put the question and received again the votes In above mentioned form. As Vt result the court condemns by a ma jority of flvo volts to two Alfred Droyfus to the punishment of ten years' detention , HKNNKS , Sept. 8. Tbo representative of the Associated I'rceo hero learns on good authority that ono of tbo members of the cabinet told a friend that Dreyfus would probably not Imvo to undergo further Im prisonment and that if ha was tent to prison hid place of confinement would probably bo the Uland of St. Marguerite , near Canas , where Marelml Bazalue wiui Incarcerated and thence he escaped , IIIISV.
