When the convention reassembled the temporary officers were made permanent. As the committee 011 resolutions was not ready to report, nominations for the state ticket were proceeded with George A. Karr, of Graud Haven, placed the name of Gov. John T. Rich in nomination. Several others seconded the nomination. C. L. Benjamin, of Saginaw, then took the platform and presented the name of Col. Aaron T. Ifliss.

Powers, of Cadillao, for member of the board of education. Hon. James McMillen was reelected chairman of the state central committee.

The Platform.

After the adoption of the following platform the convention adjourned. The resolutions approve the administration of Gov. Rich, declare in favor of a protective tariff and reciprocity and say: 'We recognize that the employment of both oapltol and labor Is necessary for tho peace and prosperity of our people, and that the enaotment of suoh laws as will properly and wisely avoid and Bottle labor difficulties 1s one of the duties of tho republican party which has always been and still Is tho friend of the humblest toller. We believe It is the duty of the stute to regulate all corporations and combinations so us to protect every right and liberty of tho luborer and Insist that law and order must be maintained, and that the ballot- box and courts of Justice. and not the sword and torch, must settle econoinlo differences. We believe In arbitration as one of the means to solve labor disputes and favor tho onactment by the legislature of lnws to oarry out the provisions of section88. articled of the constitution of the state of Michigan, which provides for establishing oourts of conciliation with suoh powers and duties as shall be pre? scribed by law. "While wo recognize the value and worth of the great body of naturalized citizens and people who have sought with a patrlotio heart and adopted this as their home andoountry, we believe In protecting American wage-workers and the peace and prosperity of this nation against tho evil effects of indiscriminate Immigration from the pauper and orimlnal classes of Europe by wise laws that shall properly restrict and regulate Immigration.

Wo believe In the use of gold aud silver as money metals te be maintained In olroulatlon on a perfect equality and lnteroonvertlblllty. We recognize the so-oalled silver Question as one of the paramount Issues of the day, and believe that the people of this state and country ran and do look to the republican party, the party of ability and prog rcss, as the only party that can give a wise and adequate solution to tho problem. We therefore pledge the republican party of Miohlgan to use every effort In Its power to restore silver to its hlstorlo post lion in the United States as a money metal.

We pleadge this In the belief that ponnanent prosperity will not be assured or Justice done until silver takes Its place side by side with gold as one of the two great mouey metals of the world."

A resolution tendering a hearty greeting and welcome to Hawaii as a republic, and assuring her of earnest sympathy and best wishes for a glo' rious future,was unanimously adopted as well as one complimenting the republican press of Michigan on its great work in the Interests of the party.

A minority report was presented on resolutions favoring the free coinage of American gold and silver at a ratio of 10 to 1 and it was warmly debated, but the more conservative majority report was' adopted. l'lngree Men Vote TO a

Ilk.

Upon the vote for governor the Plngree men declined to vote. There was no considerable contest over the remainder of the ticket. The Pingree men voted, in some instances, in opposition to the Bich slate, but their-in-fluence did not govern the result in any case.

The Pingree forces are in consultation, and in *11 probability *9 indoit ticket will be named, with

Pingree at its head. A new convention to be held here or in Lansing is proposed, but the movemont has not yet come to a head.

The bodies of Clark and his son were hurled nearly a hundred feet out into the quarry pit, which at that point Is 80 feet deep. Corbln's body was thrown through the front door of the building antl landed near the railway tracks 20 feet away. Of the 400 men working in the quarries at the time nearly every one was blown off his feet, but none was Injured. Bates and Stevenson jumped to their feet and started to run away, when two more explosions came, quite as violent as the second.

For the last two years C. 11. Rudd has beeiunaking ex-periments with his Invention in behalf of the Western Electric company at Dolese & Shepard's quarries.

ANOTHER HOT FIGHT ON THE SEA.

The Mlknrio'fl liatt lenhlpn Kink One of th« DeHt of the Mongolian Men-of»War— One Thounand Men Killed

Drowned.

FLCKK TUK CII1NK8K FLKKT. SHANGHAI, Aug. 1.—Tho Japanese have been victorious in tho first big naval battle of the war over Corea and have sunk next to the largest battleship In the Chinese navy. The battle was fought Monda3 and was desperately contested, both nations being represented by large and strong fleets. The Chinese, however, did not understand the handling of their ships as well a9 the Japanese, and that put them at a serious disadvantage.

Nearly 1,000 Killed.

The full details of the fight cannot be obtained yet, but it is known that the Chen-Yuen was sunk and two other large Chinese vessels, believed to be first-class cruisers, were either captured or destroyed. The loss of life was great also. The Chinese fleet carried nearly 1,000 men, and few. If any, esoaped. Two German officers, who were In command of the ChenYuen, are reported to be among the lost also.

Throughout the engagement the Japanese showed greater skill and ability in the handling of their boats and consequently had things muoh their own way. Their work with the guns was effective and they also showed that they thoroughly understood the handling of torpedoes. The Chinese did the best they could, but they were laoking in seamanship and also iu ability to handle their guns effectively. They demonstrated the truth of the claim that they have nothing like the ability and training of the Japanese seamen and gunners, and are at a big disadvantage on the water.

Hard Blow to China.

The two cruisers said to have been captured or destroyed are believed to be the ones built for China by the Armstrongs. They were modern war vessels and among the best in the Chinese navy. Their loss will seriously cripple China on the water and materially increase Japan's advantage. A harder blow oould hardly have been dealt China in a single battle than the destruction of her two cruisers and the big war ship ChenYuen. The loss of life Is insignificant compared to it, although that was severe for a naval battle.

The Chen-Yuen was a battleship of 7,400 tons displacement, carrying 14K Inches compound armor at the waterline.
