COROORAN HIS LIEUTENANT
The Governor Wu: Enthuslnltlcally Ro-
colvod by the Convention and Unani-
mously Elected as Its Nominee
to Bend the State Ticket.
WORCESTER, Mass, Sept. 30.——The Dom—
ocratic state convention was called to or-
der in Mechanics’ hall by Hon. John W.
Corcoran, chairman of the Democratic
state committee. The committee on ere-
dentials reported 1,853 delegates entitled
to seats. Permanent organization was ef‘
fected by the choice of Hon. P. A. Collins
as chairman, with a long list of vice presi-
dents, including Messrs. O’Neill, Andrew,
Gaston, Endlcott, Morse, Prince and Ever-
ett. William J. Dale was elected secre-
tary.
Hon. P. A. Collins, on taking the chair,
was loudly cheer-
ed. He delivered
an address in the
course of which
be challenged Mr.
Lodge and his Re-
publican associ-
ates to indicate to
a curious public
the legitimate in-
dustry that has
_ benefited in this
state or the wages
that are raised af-
. m _ ter a year’s opera‘
“"I '- tion of the Me-
“ 14- RUSSELL Kinley bill. The
interests of this state were sacrificed be-
cause it was necessary to pay the debts of
the administration to monopoly. The in-
dignant uprising of the people that aston-
ished Mr. Lodge and his con federates was
the intelligent protest of Massachusetts
against the treachery of her Republican
congressmen, and her demand for relief
will not be abated until the whole tarifi
shall be reasonably reduced, and until une-
taxed coal, crude iron, lumber and wool
shall come to revive her injured indus-
tries. Mr. Collins’ address was mainly,
however, confined to state issues.
Unanimously Renonilnatod.
Hon. J. E. Russell, of Leicester. then
addressed the convention. He was loudly
cheered, and his nomination of \V. E. Rus-
sell for governor was seconded by Hon.
Edw. G. Donovan. Governor Russell was
thereupon unanimously renominated.
' The committee on resolutions then re-
ported the platform, which was unani-
mously adopted amid applause. Governor
Russell was then introduced and signified ‘- .
‘ roar all over this section when it is learned
his acceptance of the nomination.
Governor Russell’s Speech.
In the course of his speech of acceptance
Governor Russell, after referring to state
issues, said: '
Of national questions there are three of para.-
mount importance—the tariff, silver and the
civ11 service. On the last we gladly invite a
comparison between the present national ad-
ministration and its predecessor, or the Demo-
cratic administration in this state. For the
first time in some years federal officers are left
free to take an active and offensive part- in
Caucuses, conventions and campaigns, and even
Republican state officials, appointed by the
governor, do not hesitate to become active po-
litical partisans. The protests of the national
cnnl service commission against such conduct
go unheeded, and the old abuses of compulsory
Contributions from officials have been revived.
In the civil service under Republican adminis-
tration there has been an utter and shameless
gbandonment of the spirit and purpose of the
reform.
We unhesitatingly declare fora. sound cur-
rency and an honest dollar, and we protest not
only against the free coinage of silver, but
against the present Republican legislation,
Which is bringing us dangerously near to a sil-
ver basis and an unsound currency. I believe
that in this commonwealth both parties are
honestly opposed to any legislation, present or
prospective, which threatens these conse-
qluences. Then let the Republican party de-
c are this conviction and repudiate such legis
lotion, that the unanimous voice {of the com-
monwealth may be heard in protest against
dangerous financial doctrines with no discord‘
ant note except an honest rivalry as to the best
means of carrying out her wish.
We believe that revision and reduction of
tariff taxation is the supreme political issue,
and we again declare that it should be on lines
I free raw material and cheapening the cost of
he necessaries of life. We confidently believe
that this will be a. benefit not only to all our peo-
ple, but especially to New England industries;
the demand of our industries for such reduction
has been unheeded in the McKinley bill. We de-
clare our purpose, in behalf of our industries
and in the people’s interest, to fight for this re‘
duction until the people get their burden of
taxation lessened and our industries the bene-
fit of their location by receiving through our
seaports their raw material free of taxation.
Corcoran for Second Place.
Governor Russell’s speech was warmly
applauded throughout, and as he finished
the convention broke into enthusiastic“
cheers.
After the din had subsided General
John W. Corcoran, of Clinton, was unani‘
mously nominated for lieutenant gov-
ernor.
The convention then took a recess.
From Society to Jail.
NEW YORK, Sept. 30,—Major Thomas S.
Findlay, well known in Brooklyn society
circles, was sentenced to seven and one-
half years at hard labor. He had pleaded
guilty to two indictments of grand lar-
ceny. Findlay was for over ten years the

GOULD SENT TO JAIL,
Whitney’s Brother in Rnscallty Sen-
tenced to Six Years’ Imprisonment.
BUFFALO, Sept. 30,—W’illiam Gould Jr...
of Albany, who was found guilty of aiding
énd abetting bookkeeper Whitney in falsi-
fying the accounts of the Album City
National bank, by means of which he was
enabled to over-draw his account man
thousands of dollars, was sentenced b
Judge Coxa to six years’ imprisonmen
in the Albany county penitentiary.
When Gould was brought into court his
eyes appeared blocdshot and there was a
general look of disorder about his hither:
to neatly kept person which was plain
evidence of the feeling with which be real'
izes his position. He was dressed in black
broadcloth, and held in his fingers a hall
smoked cigar, which he nervously chewed.
Judge Coxe. told Gould to stand up and
asked if there was anything he wished to
ask. “N o,” replied Gould, feebly, and
“No,” also said Lawyer Hoyt.
“I think it is proper at this time,” said
Judge Coxe, addressing the prisoner, “I
should say that I concur fully in the ver-
dict which the jury has reached in you!
case. In listeniu g to the evidence, it seemed
to me that no other verdict was possible
and that a verdict of acquittal would have
been almost a travesty upon justice. Hav-
ing said this, nothing further is needed
from the court. »
“The lesson of this trial is too plain tc
need any comment from me, and I have
no wish by any word of mine to add a sin-
gle pang to the sorrow and remorse which
I know you and others suffer, perhaps
even more than you feel at this hour. The
sentence of the law is that you be impris-
oned in the Albany county penitentiary
for a term of six years.”
Gould did not apparently flinch when he
heard his sentence.
THE CHILIAN SITUATION.
It Is Not Alarming—That In All the In-
formation Given.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. —'l‘he Chilian
situation is not alarming and aside from
this single authorative statement made no
information on the subject can be obtained.
That it continues to command attention,
however, is attested by the fact that both
the state and navy departments are con
stantly in receipt , of cablegrams from
Chili. Acting Secretary Wharton had an
audience with the president just before
the cabinet met, and upon his return to
the state department he was closeted with
the Hon. John W. Foster, the department
special agent, for some time.
It is understood that the Chiliau situa-
tion was also considered at the cabinet
meeting, which was attended by all the
members excepting Secretary Blaine.
The Appropriation Exhausted.
WICHITA, Kan, Sept. Bil—One of the
alloting agents of the Cheyenne and Ara-
pahoc reservation sends word that no more
work will be dOne after Oct. 1, because the
appropriation is exhausted and no more
money is in sight. There will be a terrific
that this work is to be stopped, for it
means a delay of perhaps a year to tens cl
thousands of home seekers who have fol
months waited the opening of what is con-
fessedly the best body of land in the entire
Indian country.
Entertaining Mrs. Harrison.
BOSTON, Sept. 30,—Mrs. President Han
rison and party are visiting Concord,
Mass, being the guests of Mrs. Daniel S
Lathrop at her charming home on Lex-
ington street. The distinguished party
were taken to many interesting localities.
Apublic reception was held. The public
schools of Concord were visited, bouquets
being placed on the pupils’ desks in honol
of Mrs. Harrison. When the scholars
were requested to contribute flowers to
day, one boy asked if Democrats would
bring flowers.
Miners in Convention.
PITTSBURG, Sept. 30.——Fifty-seven dele
gates, representing seventy—four coa’.
mines in the Pittsburg district, are as-
sembled in convention in this city. There
is no doubt that a demand for an increase
in pay will be made. The only question
now before the convention is whether the
demand shall be in the shape of a 10 pei
cent. increase, 80 cents per ton or 3},l
cents per bushel, which is equivalent to
about 92 cents per ton. More than 3,000
miners are interested in the movement.
A Tragic Shipwreck.

wreck were fearful, but he could do noth-
ing and they were soon dashed into the
sea. and drowned.

Such Widespread Distress Has Not
Been Known for Centuries.
PBABANTS LIVING 0N FILTE
beepinze and Refuse Unfit for Cattle
Gladly Eaten by the Starving
People—Disaetrous Fires and
a Cattle Plazue'Ensue.
..._..
LONDON, Sept. 30.—-A dispatch from St.
Petersburg to The Telegraph describing
the situation in Russia arising from the
failure of the crops, and detailing harrow-
lng incidents of the famine now prevail-
ing, part of which has already been cabled
to the United States, says that not for
centuries has such widespread distress
been recorded.
The trouble is chiefly due to the govern-
ment, which at the beginning of the year
was aware that a. famine was imminent.
The authorities delayed taking action to
relieve the distress until it was too late.
What benefit would have been derived
from the prohibition of the exportation of
rye was nullified by the action of the gov-
ernment in extending the time for the de-
cree to go into effect. -
Fire Adds Its ,Terrors. ,
In addition to the scarcity of food, which
has caused untold suffering, the disti‘ess
has been intensified by the enormous num-
ber of unusually disastrous fires that have
occurred throughout the famine stricken
districts. In many of the districts entire
villages have been destroyed. The inhab-
itants, week with lack of food and with
no prospect of improving their condition,
made no attempt to check the progress of
the flames, but stood and watched their
dwellings burn.
Some of them fell on their knees and
prayed the Almighty to extinguish the
fire. Added to these cruel strokes of for-
tune came the cattle plague, which caused
great havoc. Thousands of head of cattle
perished and thus many families lost their
only means of subsistence.
Existing on Refuse.
What little food it is possible for the
peasants to obtain is of the vilest descrip-
tion, but so sharp are the pangs of hunger
that they gladly eat what at other times
they would not touch. In many cases
their only food is the sweepings and refuse
from the flour mills. In Saratofi the land-
owners fouud this refuse so injurious to
their cattle that they would not food it to
them. But, though it was not fit for cat-
tle to eat, the landowners made bread of
it and sold it to the peasants.
Bread made of finely chopped straw and
bran mixed with every small quantity of
rye is considered a godsend. In many dis-
tricts the starving peasantry are not able
to procure even these miserable substi-
tutes for nourishing food, and are reduced
to dire straits to procure anything that
will prolong life.
. A Bad Sign.
BERLIN, Sept. 30.—The Post says: “The
fact that the Russran papers are devoid of
news about the famine is a. bad sign. The
Intensity of the distress may be judged
from the fact that in many places the ele-
mentary schools have been closed on ac-
count of lack of funds._”
The Pope Celebrates Mass.
ROME, Sept. 30.—An imposing religious
ceremony took place in St. Peter’s church.
For several days the pope has been receiv—
ing bodies of religious pilgrims from vari-
ous countries, and the city is filled with
the devout, many of whom have traveled
lon distances to pay honor to the earthly
hea of the Catholic church. When it was
announced that the pope in person would
celebrate low mass great eagerness was
manifested by the pilgrims to attend the
services.
Long before the doors of the church
were opened this morning a great crowd
gathered on the piazza in front of the struc-
ture awaiting an opportunity to enter.
Detachments of troops from the Italian
army were stationed about the piazza for
the urpose of maintaining order, as it
was eared that. in the pushing, struggling
throng some would meet with accident.
When the doors were opened the pilgrims
entered the church, all signs of impatience
vanishing as they passed the portals.
Sixty thousand persons were in the
church. ' _
Sixty Thousand Pilgrims Present.
At 8:40 o’clock the pope, seated upbnthe
sedia gestatoria and borne upon the
shoulders of members of the papal guard,
entered the church, and was carried to his
throne at the pontifical altar. He was at—
tired in white vestments and wore upon
his head the papal tiara. He carried in

sand pilgrims were present in St. Peter’s
