ulars of tho catastrophe which befell the I
river steamer Mabel and three other boats
recently when they wore swept over the
Tumaturarl falls In Iirltlsh Oulana havo i
JiiBt been received here. It appears that
tho Mabel left Potailo river In tho gold
bearing district for tho landing at the head
of the falls with three boats In tow. Thero
were 120 passengers altogether. The pas
sago was uneventful until tho boats were
within 200 yards of the Tumaturarl landing,
when It was found that tho current was
likely to carry the boats beyond it. A lino
thrown to tho shoro fell short nnd Captain
do Camp, a passenger on tho steamer, vol-
untecred to swim ashore with It. The pas
sengers then became alarmed and many of
them Jumped overboard.. Some, it Is said,
got in tho way of Captain de Camp, who '
only escaped being drowned by catching
hold of a tree. All hope of saving tho '
boats now passed and nmld the heartrending
screams of tho passengers, they were
swiftly swept to tho cataract. As soon as I
they reached the rapids two of tho boats '
wcro dashed against tho rocks and sank.
The ropo holding tho third boat to the '
steamer broke and the craft shot the rapids ;
safely, its occupants faring none tho worso

were terrible at this time. Tho angry
waters carried many of them to their doom,

lence against tho sharp cornl rocks. Fully
one-half of those on the boats were lost,
among the victims being Dr. G. C. Taylor,

today and an hour and tun minutes later
Governor Roosevelt of New York was unan
imously selected to stand beside hi m In
the coming battle.
The scenes attending tho selection wcro
tumultuous. Such unanimous demonstra
tions in honor of tho nominee of a na
tional convention havo not been equalled
perhaps in the history of politics in this
country. It was a love feast, a Jubilee, a
ratification meeting.
Thero was a setting for today's spenta
ular performance. Blight peonies at tho
ond of tho stago made the brightest of
color. In the multitude fans mo.'ed ica e-
lessly to and fin like the pinions of alarmed
gulls beating the air. Thero were no pre
liminaries. Tho wrangle expected over tha
question nf reducing the reprcsentn' ln In
'tho south was averted by tho withdrawal
I of ex-Senator Quay's proposition. ThJ
(great hall became quiet as Senator Lodge,

Then he began again, speaking as few mon

he cnncluded by placing McKinley In nom

half of all the states, a clap of thunder
shonl: the building. Below him and all
about hlin wcro deafening roars. The pre

that tho effort had boon successful, ho
retired to tho rear of tho stago. The sight
was a grand and inspiring nne. In tho
