A yachting partycomposed of a number of New-Yorkers left Thirty-sixth street. Brooklyn, at 7 o'clock a. 31. yesterday. They were on board the team launch Agnes Dean. Before they got through with the day they had some exciting adventures. It was about 2 o'clock in the afternoon when one of the party saw a man clinging to a buoy bobbing op and down in the water otT towards Coney island. They lowered a small boat and with gTeat difficulty contrived to get the man from his dangerous resting place. The rescued man said that he was Captain White. of East Kockaway. He had been on the Ethel, a naphtha launch. This launch, he said, had been chartered by a Mr. Dennis, a wealthy retired diamond merchant of Brooklyn. A party of eight had started on board early in tho morning from Kockaway for a day's fishing. The Ethel had cruised about until it reached a point some way out from tbe shore of Lone Beach. Then White said a terrible explosion occurred. It seemed as if all the bottom of the boat was suddenly lifted un and blown into the air. Every person on board was hurled into the water, lie sank with the rest. When he came to the surface he saw nothing but wreckage. There wasnot a body in sight. Just as he was tossed on the crest of a particularly high wave he caught a glimpse of a buoy in the distance. "It seemed to me," he said, in describing this adventure, "that this buoy was about four miles away. I swam for what seemed an age. and at length I got to the buov." White's body is not only sunburned where the nun had a chance to get at it. bet he is black and bine in many places. Some of these black and blun marks may be due to the force of the explosion. An Effort to Commute the Sentence. Pittsburg, Pa,, July 13. Col. Archibald Blakely, the attorney for the three Hungarians convicted at a recent term of the (Quarter Sessions Court of riot and murder in the first degree, will, at the next meeting of the pardon board, make a strong effort to have the sentence imposed upon tbe Hungarians commuted to life-imprisonment. The startling discovery has been made that there was a Bohemian at Braddock, before and during the riot, who bore a remarkable resemblance to George Kusnok, one of the condemned men. Husuok produced twelve witnesses at the trial who swore that he was two miles away from the works when the riot took place. The theory then is that Kusnok and his witnesses told the truth, and that tbe Bohemian is the man who helDed kill Quinn. Another fact which points to the truth of such a theory is that the Bohemian ran away as soon as the riot was over. Iudlcted fur Manslaughter. Charleston, W. Va., July 13.

IT WILL SURELY BE CAMPBELL

Little Doubt that the Present Ohio Governor Will Be Easily Renominated. Many Anti'Cainpbllites, However, Hare Assembled atClevelandand Are Engaged PaB- - lug Wires lor Kline, Neil and McMahon, Everything Points to the Customary Democratic Kouh-and-TurableF'gliU The Governor's Friends Believe They Have Enough Votes, with Some to Spare, and Will Ban the Convention to Salt Themselves. PLOTTING FOB 6POIL9L Some Ohio Democrat Aovlons to rat Up Anybody to Boat Campbell. Cleveland, July 13. The Democratic State convention will be a short affair. Whether it will be sweet will depend entirely upon the temper of the anti-Camp-bellites. Although the faithful were notified in the otlicial call to assemble to-morrow, it has been decided to defer the inaugural session till Wednesday morning. To-morrow the committees on credentials, permanent organization and resolutions will get together and cut and dry the work assigned to them, and when the body assembles on Wednesday it will be with the intention, on the part of the powers that be, of rushing through the entire programme, from the temporary chairman Thurman to the nomination, without even live minutes break for a bite or a drop. This at least is tbe programme of the Campbellites. Like one other celebrated man. Governor Campbell appears to be loved by his friends "for the enemies he Las made," The latter this morning appeared to be legion. The woods are full of them. Thij is Jbecante the anti-Campbell-ites have taken time by the forelock and are first on tbe field. The rank and tile of the unterritied the eight-tenths of the county delegations that have been instructed for Campbell will not begin to pour in until to-night To morrow the battle will be waging furiously. The opponents of the Governor, although greatly in the minority, rely on superior organization. The logic of the situation has caused all the anti-Campbell men to combine under the battle-cry of "Anything to beat Campbell." and the question with them is no longer which of the Governor's competitors has the moat votes, but which is the most available candidate and tbe most likely to succeed as a dark horse. To this query there is little division of sentiment. Hon. Virgil P. Kline is absent, on his way to Europe; too far away to give pledges and promises, and his pronounced low tariff convictions andeminent campaigning qualities mark him as the most available candidate of the opposition, since the feud en?;endercd between tbe Real and Campbell actions gives the former little hope of increasing his strength in the convention. SON OF THE "OLD ROMAN." Hon. Allen Thurman, son of the "Old Roman, is to be temporary chairman, as this selection is made by the State central committee. It is apparent to . all. except the friends of other candidates, that Governor James E. Campbell will be renominated on the first ballot, although friends of Hon. Lawrence Neal still insist that their candidate has a fighting chance. Hamilton county will cast a solid vote for KeM unless the strenuous efforts that are being made by the Campbell men to have the nomination go to theGovernor br acclamation, should finally induce Neal and Kline to withdraw in tbe interest of harmony. The feeling against Campbell among Hamilton county delegates Is so strong, however, that it is a very sanguine map, indeed, who would predict harmony in Wednesday's convention. Governor Campbell's friends aro complaining of a canard which they say is being circulated by the enemies of the Governor to the eftect that he contemplates declining the nomination after winning the light, and that the Campbell men are then to throw the nomination to John A. McMahon, of Dayton. The story receives no general credence. Congressmanelect Thomas L. Johnson, of Cleveland, has returned from Europe, and has wired that he will be iu Cleveland, and that he will work in the interest of Neal. The Indications this afternoon were that anti-Campbell men will make an attempt to conninue solidly on a sinale candidate after the tirst ballot, and lion. Virgil P. Khue, of Cleveland, is being mentioned as the man upon whom a combination will be attempted. Mr. Kline has for sometime been a passive candidate for Governor, and tbe Cuyahoga county delegation has been already instructed for him. While both Campbell and Neal have each considered Kline as friendly to them, the Cleveland man. on his departure for Europe a day or two ago, wrote a letter to his friends in this city announcing that he stood ready to accept the nomination for the governorship himself if party unity seemed to demand it. It is understood that an attempt will be made to read this letter in tho prelimiuery stage of tbe convention in the hope that it may result in a stampede to Kline by tbe Neal men and certain lnke-warm Campbell delegates. Although Mr. Neal himself is reported as being friendly to this scheme, its success is improbable in tbe face of the acknowledged fact that on the face of the returns from counties Ctmpbell has sufficient votes to insure his nomination on the first ballot. ANTI-CAM FBELX1TES PLOTTING. It now looks as though the anti-Campbell delegates, when nominations are declared in order on Wednesday, will ask for an informal ballot, but that the Governor's friends will oppose this and demand business and a formal ballot In this event Campbell will be found, before the roll is closed, to have three-fifths of the votes of the convention. But the result will not be announced without many changes. The Neal men. it is understood, will, with the consent of their leader, desert their candidate and go solidly to Kline, in the hope of creating a stampede of lukewarm Campbell delegates to tho Cuyahoga county candidate ami iusuring his nomination. If the logic of the situation does not happen to suggest Mr. Kline as the most available candidate, the strength of the opposition may be thrown to either Gen. John A. McMahon, of Dayton, or Hon. Tom L. Johnson, the free-trade Congressman, of Cleveland. Despite all these clever political maneuvers, however, the indications are that the Campbell phalanx will remain practically unbroken, and that theGovernor will be renominated on the first ballot "In my opinion," said Chairman Norton, of the Democratic State central committee, to-night, "Campbell will be nominated on the tirst ballot. The opposition will endeavor to combine on Kline or McMahon. or some other dark hors and try to force a stampede, but they will be unsuccessful. Tbe people have spoken and Campbell already has the delegates, and the result of this convention is now a simple question of addition, not enthusiasm." There are candidates for various other State offices to be nominated, bnt the chief interest, naturally, centers in the governorship. If Lieut-Gov. M. V. Marquis, of Logan county, expresses himself as not desiring a renomination, the result may be the placing of the tariff-reformer, practical farmer and ex-Congressman John Quincy Smith, of Clinton county, on the ticket for second honors. Mr. Marquis could, it is probable, have a renomination without opposition; but having bad the honors, there is some doubt whether he will seek the renomination. Financially, the place is not to bo considered worthy of a contest

and the honor, therefore, is the only allnrernent for the ambitious gentlemen of the State. TIIE ATTORNEY-GKNKRALSIIII. For Attorney-general, John W, Canady, f Wood county, and State Senator Corcoran are the principal candidates. The former has been considered as a prominent candidate for several weeks, while the latter wae only recently sprung for the place. To-day John P. Bailey, of Putnam eonnty, arrived, and, taking np quarters at the Hoolenden, also announced himself as a candidate for Attorney-general, so that the contest for the office promisee to be a very lively one. Ex-County Auditors T. R. Peckinbaugh, of Wayne, Daniel Kunzel, of Defiance, and H. W. Maise, of Franklin county, are mentioned for nomination for Auditor of State, and others are likely to come out within the next twenty-four hours. C. S. Ackerman. of Mansfield, soems to be the favoriU f?r the treasurership nomination since the declination of Hon. W. W. Armstrong, of this city, but it is likely that he may rind several gentlemen contending for the plaoe before tbe time arrives for his name to be presented to the convention. Prof. C C. Miller, the present State Commissioner of Common Schools, is one of the men having a sure thing. Hit nomination by acclamation is conceded by all. Besides the offices mentioned above candidates are to be nominated for Supreme J udge, member of the Board of Public Works and Food and Dairy Commissioner. The platform upon which tbe coming battle is to be waged is the subject of much discussion, and Chairman Norton, of the State central committee, and other prominent politicians of tbe State have held several conferences on the subject It has been decided that the party will stand by its position of a year ago on all leading issnes. The Campbell administration will be commended, and the Harrison national administration and the Fifty-hrst Congress will bo denounced for protligacy and extravagance. Tbe tariff plank, it is understood, will be as foBowe: "We demand the reduction of tariff taxea and we will continue the battle for tar ill' reform until the cause of the people is triumphant All money taxed by law should go into tbe publio treasury. Tariff taxes should be for revenue only. All socalled protective tariff taxes aro dishonest, wasteful ana corrupting. They plunder the masses to enrich the few. They have crippled agriculture, retarded manufacturing, created trusts, destroyed commerce and corrupted our law-makers. We denounce the McKinley tariff law passed by the billion-dollar Congress as an iniquitous and oppressive measure, and an injury to the American farmor and laborer." The party will also congratulate itself upon the passage of the recent Australianballot system, but upon tbe financial question there will be division of sentiment While tbe free-coinage sentiment is strong, there is a lively opposition to it. and many conservative Democrats are urging that the financial question be not made an issue at alL 9XORMONS DEFEATED.

Enthusiastic Liberal Make Increased Gains and Carry Salt Lake City. Salt Lake City, U. T., Jnly 13. Enthusiastic Liberals are making the city ring tonight because of a victory in the school election here to-day. The Mormons and allies made a desperate effort to capture the board of education, bnt the Liberals held their own, carrying by an increased majority the precincts carried by tbem heretofore, and losing those they lost before by reduced majorities. They retain six of the ten members of the board, and carry the city, as a whole, by 700 majority. Kansas Democrat Against the Alliance.. Topeka, Kan., July 13. The Democratic editors, who have been holding a meeting here, have decided to prepare an address to the people of Kansas, and also warn tbe Democrats of the Nation against the Farmers' Alliance. A committee was appointed to draft an address and another meeting provided for July 27, at which time tho committee will report In the meantime the Democratic editors will begin a systematic and determined warfare on the Alliance. THE DAY AT CATE MAI. Tho President Receives a Delegation from Atlantic City Asking Him to Visit Them. Cafe May Point, N. J., Jnly 13. A committee representing the residents and cottagers of Atlantic City, headed by Mayor Hoffman, ex-Adjntant-general Daniel Hastings, of Pennsylvania: William It .Leeds, marshal eastern district of Pennsylvania, and William L. Johnson, postmastter of Baltimore, arrived here this morning for the purpose of inviting the President to visit their city. The President received them cordially, but declined the invitation for tbe present stating that he was here for rest and quiet and if he visited one place he would be obliged to go to many others to which he has been asked. The President was busy this morning examining a number of applications for pardons for offenses against the postal and polygamv laws. Tho President appointed tbe following postmasters: Bement lib. John MoNsme. removed for violation of postal laws and regulations, keeping disorderly and unsystematic office and other charges, Francis A. Jones appointed in his place; Metropolis City, 111., Irouah Stack, to serve tbe unexpired term of Norman J. Stack, deceased; Delphos. O., Charles E. Wasbburne, in place of David E. Baxter, removed. SHE WAS RICH AND CRAZY. More of the Wealth of Lena Weinberg Found Hidden in a Piano-Stool. Winona, Minn., July 18. Nearly two years ago a sensation was caused here by the suicide of Lena Weinberg, lor thirty years housekeeper of the- old Huffman House, and the discovery after her death of about $12,000 in gold coin stowed away under false bottoms in her trurks. With this money she was about to return to her native land, Sweden, and had shipped the trunks to Baltimore, but in a moment of insane frenzy took her own life, lust as the time arrived for departure. Tbe money was paid over to h r heirs in Sweden. A sequel now turns up scarcely less interesting than the first story. On Saturday evening her executor. E. A. Goedtzen. had his attention drawn to another piano-stool that had been ued by Lena. and. taking it to pieces, there was a further 6um of $13,000 which tho miserly housekeeper had evidently stowed away. There are various theories as to where she obtained so much money. One of them assigns the real ownership to Colonel Cockrell. the former proprietor of tbe Huffman House. It is probable a lawsuit will follow. COUNCIL OF EDUCATION. Estimated that 5,000 New Delegates Arrived at Toronto Yesterday. Toronto, Ont, Jnly 13. At this morning's session of the National Council of Education George P. Brown, of Chicago, editor of the Illinois School Journal, read the report of the committee on pedagogics, the subject being "The Education of the Will." Tbe first nominations in the council for membership wero made, the ejection resulting as follows: 11. 8. Jones, of Lincoln, Neb., . re-elected; W. N. Hailman, of La Porte, Ind., re-elected: Charles Degarmo, of Champaign, 111., in place of Josiah L. Pickard, who retired, and Nicholas Murray Butler, of New York, in place of N. K. IL Dawson, who also retires voluntarily. The teachers' gathering is daily increasing in magnitude, and to almost overwhelming proportions. It is estimated that about five thousand teachers arrived

to-day. They were from the Southern. Middle and New England State. New York and Pennsylvania, that were yesterday poorly represented, have now at least seven hundred delegates. Tennessee and Arkansas have sent on to-day 150 and SOU delegates, respectively. There is a big hght on as to where tbe next convention will be held. Helena. Ark., seems to be leading, with Seattle a good second, and Boston and Saratoga in the distance. Hfi. BLAINE INTERVIEWED.

He Denies the Sensational Reporta of Correspondents as to the State cf His Health. Bar Harbor. July 13. The Associated Press correspondent conversed with Secretary Blaine a few minutes this morning. "I am as well as usual to-day," be said. The sensational reporta about my health SMit to the press all over tho country are lies. I am not' a sick man. They have magnified a slight illness into something very serious. I am taking no medicine whatever. I go out every day, and often twice a day. I eat whatever I desire; I rise at S o'clock and retire at 10 or 11 r. M. In short, 1 live in my usual manner. There ia nothing more to say." Mr. Blaine spoke in his accustomed quick, unhesitating manner, bis voice showing no trace of weakness, lie took a long ride this morning in an open carriage through the principal streets and some distance into the country. He gets in and ont of the carriage without assistance, sits erect, recognizes acquaintances as in former years, and does not seem fatigued by riding. Emmons Blaine said this morning: "My father is constantly improving. We no longer consider htm a sick man." Mr. Blaine was out driving at 6 o'clock this afternoon in dn open carriage, lie was holding the reins, as he has been doing occasionally for several daya. Ilia physician. Dr. J. Madison Taylor, said to-night: "Mr. Blaine is improving very rapidly. Within a few days he has seemed to take a fresh hold upon life and health. He has a strong constitution, and no one who sees him can fail to notice a rapid improvement almost daily." Those near the Secretary feel confident that he will return to Washington in the fall a well man. and able to enter into active political life. CAUGHT A SMUGGLER. Canadian Officials Discover a Sloop Loaded with Chinamen for tbe States. Ottawa. Ont, July 13. The collector of customs at Victoria informs the dopartment of the seizure of tbe sloop Flora, of Seattle, Wash., for neglecting to report inward. A fine of $100 was imposed. Two customs officers located the vessel in a sheltered cove a few miles from Victoria. There appeared to bo no one on board the craft which was lying some one hundred yards off the shore. The officers called out, and a man appeared on deck and asked what was wanted. They informed him that they would like to see him, and he pulled toward the shore in a skiff'. When within about twenty feet of the beach he seemed to become . possessed with a spirit of caution and demanded their business. When he learned that they were customs officers he started to pull quickly back to his vessel, but altered his miud when tbe officers covered him with their revolvers. They then commanded him to row ashore and compelled. tbe man to pull them out to the sloop, which they found to be a smuggler with a load of Chinese intended for the United States. There were ten Chinamen in tbe bold and six more on shore ready to embark. The captain, who gave bis name as Alfred Setterman, said that be was about to take eighteen Chinamen into tbe United .States. He was given thirty days in which to pay the fine, at the end of which time, if tbe tine be not paid, the vessel will be confiscated and sold to the highest bidder. - MONEY BARDSLEY DIDN'T GET. The Farmers1 and Mechanics' Bank Honors a Joint Check of City and State Treasurers, PniLADELrniA, July 13. The Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank has honored the joint checks of City Treasurer Wright and State Treasur Boyer on the funds placed there on deposit, and embracing licenses and personal taxes, the common moneys of the city and State.

FIRED AT BY A MADMAN. An Attempt to Assassinate President Carnot of Franee at a Celebration. Paris, July 13. There was considerable excitement to-day throughout Paris, caused by the report that President Carnot had been shot. This rumor proved upon investigation to bo untrue, but there was foundation for the report. The President was present to-day at the ceremonies of tbe official opening of a new thoroughfare, the Avenue de la Bepublique. where he received an enthusiastic welcome. Suddenly a man, wild-eyed and making insane gestures, forced bis way through the crowd and pushed past the soldiers on duty about tbe spot where the ceremonies were taking place. Over through the police cordon be rnsbed to the carriage in which the President had driven np to the new avenue and fired a pistol at M. Carnot. As he did so the man shouted: "I'll prove that there are more Bastilesto be demolished." President Carnot was undoubtedly alarmed at what appeared to be a direct attempt upon his life, but the President was unhurt and so regained his entire presence of mind. The man who fired tbe shot was promptly arrested by tbe police, and such was the anger of the crowd present that the officers had the greatest difficulty in protecting their prisoner from becoming the victim of popular fury which he had excited. As it was. it required the services of a strong force of police to escort tbe man in safety to the nearest police station. Upon arrival there the man's examination soon disclosed the fact that he was a madman and that he had just been released from confinement in a lunatic asylum. EMBRACED 11Y TIIE QUEEN. Kalssr Wilbelm Hidden an Affectionate GoodBye Before Setting Out for London. London, July 13. The Emperor of Germany this morning rode through the most interesting parts of Hatfield. Lord Salisbury having issued orders to the effect that every part of the park was to be thrown open in order to enable tbe Emperor to roam in any direction he desired. Upon his return to Hatfield House the Emperor lunched in the Marble HalL All the embassadors and Ministers and their wives, and Mr. and Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, wero present, It is reported that the Kmperor has invited the Prince and Princess of Wales to visit Germany in full state during the coming autumn, and that the Prince and Princess have, with the consent cf Queen Victoria, accepted the invitation. After luncheon the Emperor bade farewell to Lord Salisbury and tbe latter's guests, declaring thathewss highly pleased with his visit, and left Hatfield House for AVindsor Castle in order to bid adieu to the Queen. Upon his arrival at Windsor Castle the Emperor was met by an escort of the Life Guards, who conducted him to the castle. The Queen met the imperial traveler at the entrance to her private apartments. Her Majesty warmly embraced her distinguished grandson, who remained an hour in conversation with her. At the expiration of that time the Emperor took leave of her Majesty. The parting seemed to show that the most cordial sentiments animated both their Majesties. After leaving Windsor Castle tbe Emperor returned to London. The Empress o Germany to-day started -for Felixstowe, where her children are stsying. The Emperor, escorted by a detachment of Life Guards, accompanied the Empress to the railroad station, and bade her an affectionate farewell. Tbe Emperor dined this evening at the house of Lord Dudley, with a select number of the arisrocratic circle. To-night Emperor William started for Scotland. Connt Von Hatzfeldt, the staff of the German embassy, the Prince of Wales, tbe Duke of Connaught, aud the Duke of Cambridge bade him farwell at tbe station. The Duke of Connaught entered the saloon of the Imperial carriage, where he remained in conversation with the Emperor for a few minutes. There was prolonged cheerin? as the train departed. The Emperor all ably waved his hand in farewell, instead of recognizing the demonstration accorded him with nis usual military salute. The German Empress will temporarily reside at Felixstowe incognito as "Conntese Bavenburg." The German Crown Prince and his two brothers met the Empress on her arrival t the station aud drove with her to the South Beach House in an open landau. Masses of roses were thrown into tbe carriage by tbe crowds of people assembled along the route. , 8eald Friendship. Berlin, Jnly 13. The Vossische Zeitnng regards the visit of the Emperor to Hatfield house, the residence of Lord Salisbury, as something beyond a mere act of courtesy. It says that the Emperor, accompanied by German statesmen, has met tbe chief English statesmen, and that both countries are convinced that tbe conference at Hatheld bouse sealed the . assurances of friendship. The Zeitung concludes by contrasting the coldness of the Russians with the warmth of the English reception. The enthusiastic reception given to the Emperor in England, it says, proves that it was spontaneous and not evoked by the committee, and shows the interests and inclinations of England aud Germany go together. BRITAIN'S WORLD'S FAIR DISPLAY. Sir Henry Wood Believes London Merchants Will Expend S l.OOO.OOO. London, July 13. It has been decided that the royal commission to represent Great Britain at the world's fair will be composed of the Council of the Society of Arts, which carries with it the prestige of having tbe Prince of Wales as its president and Sir Kichard Webster, thei neygeneral, as its chairman. Tbe cor contains many members who are wel .fled to insure a successful issue. Tl. ointment of the council as a commi.ion also implied that Sir Henry Wood will be its secretary.
