At 11 a. m. the wind had shifted to the northwest at Jacksonville, with a pressure of 29.26, showing that the storm center was a few miles southeast of that station. The wind velocity there was forty-four miles an hour," causing uprooting of trees and unroorlng of houses. Wire communication south of Jacksonville is cut off. Ample warning of the approach of the storm was given . all through Florida and- along the coast. No report has been received from Key West since Tuesday miming, when the wind was sixty-elgnt miles an fcour. There has been a very heavy rainfall at Jacksonville, the precipitation being 6.62 inches in ten hsurs.

The Vigilancla will proceed down 'the bay and anchor Inside the Hook. She left her pier at the usual time, but will not run out into open water until the force of the c3'done has subsided.

FUSION IN NEBRASKA

POPULIST NOMINEES INDORSED BY THE STATE DEMOCRACY. Clevelandltes Routed nnd Congressman Ilryun Nominated for Senator on a Free Silver Plntforra. OMAHA, Neb.. Sept. 26.-The Bryan silver faction had charge of the machinery of the Democratic convention when it reconvened to-night. The credentials committee reported all the contests in favor of the Bryan forces, leaving the administration anti-silver element as a small minority in the convention scarcely one hundred delegates. Dr. EJwards, of Lancaster, placed Congressman Bryan In nomination for United States Senator. He was chosen by acclamation and replied In a speech pledging himself to work for free silver and against monopolies. After wrangling until midnight over the Question of fusion the matter was postponed pending the report of the committee on platform. The minority report was similar to the majority with the exception of the clause relating to finances, which declared for a geld basis. It was wholly ignored by the victorious silverites, however, and the majority report carried with a rush. After renewing their allegiance to the Jeffersonian principles, expressing the belief that "public office is a public trust" and that all men are created equal, the income tax Is indorsed, election of Senators by the people Is advocated and an amendment to the Constitution making a President ineligible to re-election favored. The report at length reviews the. A. P. A. question and denounces that movement In severe terms and concludes, with the following clause In favor of silver: "We Indorse the language used by Hon. John G. Carlisle in 1878 when he denounced the conspiracy to destroy silver money as 'the most gigantic crime of this or any other , age, and we agree with him that the consummation of such a scheme would ultimately entail more misery upon the human race than all the wars, pestilences and famines that ever occurred in the history of the world.' "We are not willing to be parties to such a crime, and in order to undo the wrong already done and to prevent the further appreciation of money, we favor the immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation on earth. "We regard the rght to issue mon,ey as an attribute of sovereignty and believe that all money needed to supplement the gold and silver coinage of the Constitution and to make the dollar so stable In purchasing power that it will defraud neither debtor nor creditor should be issued by the general government as the greenbacks were Issued; that such money should be redeemable In coin, the government to exercise the option by redeeming in gold or silver. "We believe that all money Issued by the goernment, whether gold, sliver or paper, should be made a full legal tender for all debts, public and private, and that no citizen should be permitted to demonetize by contract that A-hlch the government makes money by law." After the adoption of the platform the leaders of the fusion and anti-fusion factions announced an agreement, and Judga Holeombe, the Populist candidate for Governor, was indorsed at midnight toy a larg majority. The anti-fusion, Democrats late to-night bolted the convention and organized a separate convention. They nominated Judge Holcomb for Governor. Owens Opponent. LEXINGTON, Ky., Sept. 26.-RepublIcans of the Ashland district nominated George Denny, Jr., for Congress. After thanking the convention for its unanimous action. Judge Denny said, la part: "Glancing over the history of the grand old district, we find it has been represented: in Congress by great and noble men. Your present Congressman I consider the superior of any of them, and, in my judgment, Is to-day tne best equipped man in Kentucky or elsewhere. They may say what they please about him, but -ire i3 the most eloquent man In the counvry to-day." Where McKinley "Will Spenls. BELLEFONTAINE, O..

MILCIIKIsr SCORED. Speech hy the Attorney for the A. IX. I'. Lenders. ClirOAGO. Sept. 2S.-tArgum.ents in the Debs ca3e were continued to-day, attorney Bancroft speaking for the Santa Fe railroad and attorney Clarence Darrow for the defense. Judge Woods warned the attorneys that their arguments must all be in next Friday, and declared he would not hear more after that dale. At the conclusion of Mr. 'Bancroft's argument for the prosecution C. S. Darrow spoke for the defense. Ho denied that the defendants had committed any wrong, and declared that every man had the right to abandon his position either fcr a good or bad reason. No court could put a citizen In a condition of servitude-. Even an unjust reason for quitting work could not be a matter cf judi-vlal interi'erenre. The Injunction itself gave the defendants the clear right to strike and persuade ohr men to quit. "These men have been called dastardlv 'criminals' and 'cowards' by Mr. Milchrist," continued Mr. Darrow. "I feet It my duty to rejdy specifically as to w.iat constitutes an honorable man. 'Iiiese defendants .mlj,ht hive used bad Judgment. The scheme "of Debs may have been an impracticable one. But when pas.?ion and prejudice have died away and wo have calmly reviewed the events 'of the strike all right-minded men will admit that tnee respondents were actuated by the highest and holiest motives that of bettering the condition of their fello-w-men. Mr. Milchrist says that in all his career as a public prosecutor he had never seen more guilty men than these now at the bar. These respondents have been abused by a man whom political accident put in power. His words were gratuitous Insults. There are various kinds of cowards. It was not brave for this man Milchrist to stand In e. court where accident has placed him and heap vituperation on these men, who cannot reply. That certainly is not bravery." Air. MilehrlRt interrupted by saying: "I do not wish to be enligutened on l?gal ethicby you." Mr. Darrow retorted: "You should by some one." Mr. Darrow's argument lasted all the afternoon and will be resumed to-rr.crrow. Possible Strike of Glass. Workers. PITTSnTTRG, Pa., Sept. 25.

RETDHN OF WELLMAN

THE DARING YOUNG EXPLORER AND PARTY AT NEW YORK. Ills Version of a Disastrous Expedition to the Arctic Regions Ice Too Rough to Reach the Pole. NEW YORK, Sept. - 26. The steamship Spree, which arrived at quarantine tonight, had among her passengers ttie following-named .gentlemen belonging to the Arctio expedition: Prof. Walter Wellman. Prof. W. B. French, of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, of Washington, who was astronomical observer of the party; Dr. Thomas B. Mohun, medical officer, and Charles C. Dodge, artist and photographer, all of whom belong to Washington, D. C They left here last March, bound for the North pole, via Not way, and have been gone a little over 6ix months. Prof. Wellman, who was In charge, gives the follow Ing account of the expedition: "On the 1st o' May we left the town of Thomso, in Norway, on the steamer Ragnvald Jarl, with twenty-five persons all told, sixteen of whom belonged to the expedition, and nine to the crew, We reached Spitzbergen on the 7th day of May, latitude 79.43, depositing a large quantity of provisions, leaving In charge Prof. Oyen, a Norwegian geologist, who was to study the glaciers. May 10 finding open water on tho north coast of Spitzbergen, the steamer headed for the Southern island, 150 miles to the northeast. After several battles with the ice we reached Table Island on the 12th of May, and were then In latitude SO degrees, 50 minutes, or within 550 miles of the north pole, within 150 miles as far as had been reached by the Lockwood and Brainard expedition. Thus far had we advanced in eleven days from civilization, having covered as much ground in that time as other expeditions had in months, or even years. Up to this time the season had promised to be a favorable one, 'and we had-hoped in a few days to be able to set out on our Journey over the ice pack to the northeast. Storms now set in on the 15th, and vast quantities cf broken Ice went drifting pa?t. On the l?th the steamer was forced to the north, a lfttle past the elghty-firsi parallel, and wa3 then driven back by the floating ice. through which no steamer, though she were as large as the Spree, could have forced her way. Finding what appeared to be a perfectly safe anchorage on the shore of Walden island, the cxp?dltlon left the ship on the 24th of May. We were fourteen men, having three aluminum -boats, five aluminum sledges and forty-five draft dogs from Belgium, Our course was to the eastward, skirting the northern shore of Northeast Eand. where the ice, though exceedingly rough In places, was yet practicable as a road. Four days later we received word by messenger that the ship had been crushed by the Ice, fortunately most of the tores being. saved. Notwithstanding this loss of the ship, which cut off our line of retreat, we decided to go on. After exEloring most of the coast of the Northeast and we found the ice thrown up In hopeless confusion in every direction. We made an effort with one boat and a picked crew of eight men to advance to the north, but so rough was the Ice that after four days of indescribable effort we found that we had advanced less than four miles. The same conditions of Ice existed as far as the eye could fee. Further progress being impossible, we made our way back, through nviny dangers and difficulties, to Walden island, often wading in water up to our waists. One member of the party, Mr. Alme, the meteorologist, broke his leg. Mr. Alme had to be dragged in the boat over the ice and slush. No change occuring in the extremely unfavorable nature of the season, which might give us an opportunity to still work further north, we set out on Aug. 4 to light our way through drifting ice to the main land cf Spitzbergen, and in this we were successful. After a 'hard struggle of four davs we reached Low island, and there found a Norwegian hunting sloop, theC) Berentine. which we hired to carry us back to our headquarters at Dames island. After that we vent to Norway, where we arrived on the 15th of August." Prof. Well ma n looks well and hearty, and is already making plans nnd preparations for another expedition next year. REFINERIES TO CLOSE. Philadelphia Concerns Are Short of Haw Suqrar Tho New Orleans Crop. PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 2C The Franklin-Knight and Spreckles sugar refineries In this country, operated by the Sugar Trust, will shut down next Saturday. In addition to these, it is said, the McCahon refinery, which is not controlled by the trust, will also shut down. A member of tho latter firm said to-day in answer to a question that If the could 'not sell more sugar than they are selling at present they certainly would bo obliged to close Tha shutting down of the refineries will thrown some thirty-six hundred men out of employment the Franklin-Knight about S00. the Spreckles refinery 1.200 and the McCahon rcfinerv about COO. A prominent .sugar broker sail that if the refiners had not concluded to shut down next week It would not be long before they would be compelled to close for want of a sufficient supply of raw sugar,' as the present crop is now about exhausted and the new crop docs not come in before the first of the year. Tn'.s condition ot affairs is caused by the enormous production during the months of June, July and August, wnen there were large orders on the market front speculators, who were anxious to market pll the sugar they could before the new tariff went into effect, and in consequence of which the stocks of raw sugar in Cuba and other producing sections were all taken out oi tne warehouses and shipped to this country, while usually at this season of the year there is always a supply on haul at those places sufficient to last until the arrival of the new crop. The New Orleans ciop this year promises to be the largest ever known and they will begin refining there about the 20th of October, and in addition to the new crop they have there about thirty thousand barndi of the old crop left. It is understood that the Sugar Trust will reopen its NewOrleans refinery early in Octooer. It i3 the opinion of sugar men that the shutting down of the refineries here will not tend to advance prices any, and one dealer prominent in the trade said he looked for still lower values, as New Orleans would supply the V3t, Northwest, Southwest and a. good portion of the middle States by reason of much cheaper freight rates u; the Mississippi river, freight by that route being about 23 cents per barre!. whMe the rate of those sections bv rail frm the refineries in 'NewYork. Philadelph ia and Boston 'is 90 cents per barrel. Movements of Steamers. LIVERPOOL. Sept. 26. Arrived: Catalonia, from Boston; Kansas, from Boston; Teutonic, from New York. . NEW YORK. Sept. 26.

DAYID BENNETT HILL (Conclnded from First race.) nnd more successful than I. I regard David B. Hill as the very best man for the place. I think h-2 would poll an enormous vote. Of course I think the next Governor will be a. Democrat. I am not well enough posted in regard to the news of the last few days to hazard a guess at the probabla selection of the Democratic convention. I hope to see a strong man nominated." Soon after the delegates had read the above interview J. W. Hinckley received the following telegram, signed by Mr. Whitney: "I find on my arrival this mornlnsr that my name is the subject of some consideration by. the delegates to Saratoga and have received many friendly messages. As I cannot well reply to these in detail will you do me the kindness to say for me in answer to any Inquiries that for reasons entirely personal I cannot be a candidate or accept the nomination. I concur heartily in the opinions so admirably expressed by Senator Hill in his address that harmonious and agxresslve action on the part of the Democrats of the State ousrht surely to be crowned by success. Principles, not men. must constitute the issue, and New York is not accustomed to waver in her fidelity to Democratic principles when a united party demands their enactment and enforcement." It was 1:50 o'clock when Chairman Hill rapoed the convention to order, and ten minutes were spent in bringing tte delegates to the requisite condition of silence to permit transaction of business. The committee on credentials reported in favor of the sitting delegates in all of the contests except that from Monroe county. In that case both delegations were permitted to sit in the convention, each member to have a half vote. The Shepard people from Kings county left the hall. With this exception, the greatest good humor characterized the adoption of the committee's report. THE PLATFORM. The report of the committee on permanent organization recommending Senator Hill for permanent chairman was adopted. Then Lieutenant Governor Sheehan, chairman of the committee on platform, arose, and, pleading for silence, sent it up to the platform to be read by the clerk. It follows: The Democratic party . of New York congratulates the people of the State upon the restoration of business confidence and the improvement of industrial conditions which are following the rep?al by a Democratic Congress of the laws.of Republican predecessors. Unsound financial legislation, driving out our gold and threatening a Hingie-tax standard; a worse than war tariff, unnecessarily adding to the cost or living, diminishing federal revenues and overstimulating favored industries at the general - expenses; prodigate expenditures, converting an assuring treasury surplus Into an alarming deficit these were the 111conceived and ill-fated products of Repoiollcan partisanship which brought the country to the verge of financial and industrial ruin, which wiped out private fortunes, reduced incomes, turned tens of thousands of men out of work, closed factories,' destroyed business, brought thousands of deserving poor face to face with starvation, and inflicted general distress upon, the American people. Tho complete transfer of the government to the Democratic party w-aa too late to avert these terrible evils; It could only remove their uses and repair the injury. "We therefore rejoice that by the repeal of Cna Sherman law for the purchase and storage of silver bullion all tear of a depreciated currency has been allayed and raitfi has been restored in the ability of trie government to maintain a constant parity between its gold and silver coinage; taat by the repeal of tine McKinley tariuT law the Inordinate taxation of the many for the benefit cf the few has been notably diminished and the plane of inequitable and monstrous customs duties wnicn have starved some industries and ovrrfed other?, the tariff schedules have adjusted so that while affording. ample safeguards for American labor they reduce the price to the people of necessities of life and encourage the promotion of industry by eneaperamg the cost of many raw materials used in manufactures; and that by reducing expenditures wherever possible, and by provision for additional revenues, the legitimate demand3 upon the federal treasury will no longer exceed the government's income and necessitate an increase of the public debt. "The beneficial effects ot the adoption of these salutary measures of public policy are alreadv plainly apparent. Each day gives evidence of returning prosperity. Mills closed by the effects of Republican legislation are reopening and their operatives are returning to work. Merchants report a largely increasing volume of business, and manufacturers are preparing for the period of prosperity which the readjustment of tariff and cheaper raw materials certainly assure. "We concur with President Cleveland that the new tariff law- does not embody the full issue of tariff reform, but with him, also, we Indorse the provisions for cheaper and free raw materials and lower taxes as a substantial recognition of Democratic principles, and we- bespeak tor the law an impartial trial, confident lhat its successful operation will convince the people of the wisdom of Democratic policy and induce them to demand its proper extension. While favoring, therefore, such wise modification and readjustment of particular scnedules, by the enactment of separate bills, as future conditions . and the fulfillment of Democratic pledges may require, we deprecate, pending a fair trial of the law by actual operation, any further general tariff revision which, under present conditions, would be likely to retard improvement In business and thereby '-prolong the evils brought upon the country by Republican folly. "We commend the enactment by the Democratic Congress of the measures of public Importance demanded by the people, particularly the repeal of the federal elections law and the stringent legislation for the suppression of trusts. We reaffirm the declaration of principles contained in the Democratic national platform of 1SD2. and we reiterate the expressions of recent Democratic State platforms in favor of honest money, economy in public expenses. Just and liberal provision for all disabled Union soldiers, their wddows and dependents, and strict adherence to the true principles of civil-service reform. "We commend the efforts made by the Senators ard Representatives in Congress from this Str.te to avert the imposition of the present income tax, and we record our regret that the reform of tariff to which all Democrats were committee; to which all Democrats are embarrassed, by engrafting in its. provisions a direct tax, to which many Democrats were strenuously opposed." Th platform demands the rigid enforcement of th? laws to prevent and control trusts. It heartily Indorses "the honest purpose and high ideas which have characterized the administration of President Cleveland, and pledges their earnest support In all his efforts to secure the enactment of Democratic measures and the carrying out of Democratic policies, expressing confidence that the people will sustain him at the polls in November. Itepgious Intolerance in political discussion is denounced, and any attempt to proscribe candidates for office on 'the ground of religious belief by secret organizations or otherwise is deplored. The remainder of the platform is devoted to State Issue1, closing with an Indorsement of Governor Flower's administration. When some routine business had been disposed of, the convention was readv to nominate a candidate for the governorship. Then occurred the scer.ps described elsewhere. After Senator Hill's nomination had been made by acclamation Lleutenart Governor Sheehan arose, and In a brief eulogium nominated Hon. Daniel Dockwood for the office of Lieutenant Governor. The nomination wa3 made by acclamation amid great applauso. James B. Bell, cf Brooklyn, named Judge Gaynor for Judge of the Court of Appeals, and the convention named him by acclamation. The usual resolutions were adopted. The motion to adjourn was carried. Senator Hill saying: "The convention that i running itself wants to adjourn I declire it adjourned." The convention adjourned sine die at 3:CD p. m. SPEECH 1SY HILL. The Senator S Nt!ilix About Aeeepllnff tho Aouilnatloii. ALBANY. N. Y.. Sept, 20. Senator Hill and Hon. Daniel N.

K"-er.v1e I tender you my sincere thanks. This deno.iotration is a par: or tne iu-?.i-vi.-J events of a day which to me has ben on of mingled surprise and em.barra?ment.

Unwilling as I was to receive the honor whkii the convention, in spite of my protest, has sought to confer upon me.

Sept. 24-After a long cogitation Judge Gaynor this evening gave out the following statement: "I shall only say that no one has authority to speak or vouch for me in thi matter, and to be certain that I injure no one I. shall say nothing about my nomination until I learn ail the fcts. My inclination would be to do almost anything to help Senator Hill, whose recent development In the Senate Katlslles every one that he is a very able man and should satisfy all biCKerings against him." now it is vh:wi:d. F. D.. Locke Will Not Support tl?e ' Nomination-Other Comment. , WASHINGTON. Sept. 2G.-U is safe to say .that the New York nominations cama as a great surprise to the members of tha Cabinet now in Washington. Few cared tocomment upon them for publication, but , privately they appeared to regard tht t'eket as a powerful combination. Secretary Herbert, when informed of the con vcntlon's choice, threw himself backt in his chair and. after silently thinking over the news, said slowly but emphatically: "It Is a strong ticket, and seems adapted to sink the sectional differences tha have vexed tne Democratic party in New York. 1 think it will win." Assistant Secretary cf the Navy HcAdoo, of New Jersey, an ex-member of Congress, said: "With united action in New Vork that ticket ought to ba elected. The ticket Is we'd balanced, geographically and otherwise." Franklin D. Locke, one of the most prominent lawyers and Democrats of 'Buffalo, a great friend of President Cleveland, and one of the foremost men at the Syracuse convention: "In what I say let It be understood that I speak enly for rayself. I will neither work nor vote for Senator Hill for Governor: My Indictment agasinst him has two counts. First. 1 maintain that from March 4, 1S33. he has dons everything he could to harass, annoy and obstruct the Democratic administration here: second. I regard him as primarily responsioie tor the offense in the State ot New York for which Judge Maynard was tried and convicted last year. The only real defense Judge Maynard had was that (he was a good-natured fellow and was compelled to do what he did by the overrrwering Influence of David Bennett Hill, will vote for no man connected with that crime'. I do not see how Judge Gaynor can accept after the treatment of the contested delegation from Kings county. Mr. Lockwood's nomination for Lieutenant Governor I regard as an admirable one. I shall only rearret It if he Is associated on the ticket with Senator Hill." Representative Tarpney, a Missouri Democrat. sa1: "Mr. Hill's nomination Is an exceptionally strong one. Mr. Hill Is a man of rare political sagacity. He would not take a nomination if he were to b sacrificed. His willingness to accept the leadership of the New York Democracy this year is, in my opinion, the most convincing proof yet advanced that the Democrats will carry the State. His election will m?k him a big factor in the next presidential fight." Senator Steward, the Nevada Populist. paid: "If Senator Hill stands on and Indorses the financial plank of the platform the banks must elect him. Of course, th question of Mr. Cleveland's attitude towards Mr. Hill will be an all important one. Mr. Cleveland has been suffering front malaria this summer. I believe. The only specific for malaria, the disciples of physio tell us. Is bitters. If Mr. Cleveland swallows the New- York nomination the pill ought to be bitter enough to cure the most chronic case of malaria extant." Am Out of Polities Now." BUZZARD'S BAY. Sept. 26. A reporter called President Cleveland's attention to the nomination of Senator Hill at the Saratoga convention this evening. It was the first intimation the President had had of the result, and. when asked for an opinion, he said: "I am out of politics now." This expression of opinion was in a kindly but firm tone, and nj effort could prom; an expression of opinion. The face of the .Chief executive was a study, but by no word of. mouih could he be induced to express either satisfaction or regret at tha action of the Democratic convention. ' Senator Hill's ( Intruder!! Irs. Washington Special to Iittsburg Dispatch. Senator Hill cares nothing for what Is called "society," though he docs not object to or despise the fashionable rout of' tbe class which has the wealth and leisure to live that fort of life. It is simply not to his taste. He is a confirmed bachelor, and yet the most abstemious of men, never using liquor or tobaccd in any form, llo has been too busy to marry, even if ha ever had an Inclination that way. He . said to be a woman hater for the reason that for the most part the modern woman is given up wholly tA dress, frivolity an I F.ll forms of superficiality, and worst W all to the esoteric I'm de eiecle which only makes their superficiality and insincerity the more glaringly apparent Hill is naturally a student and recluse. He knows a lot of important things, and he knows them thoroughly. Doubtless no man ever entered the Senate with a greater feeling of prejudice among his fellow-Senators, meeting Mm like a wall of ice and tending to congeal his ardor and ambition from the outset. Doubtless no man ever surprised the Senate more Mn his speedy giving proof of amazing readiness in debate, in absolute Independence, coupled with Intense aggressiveness and ability to rise above party narrowress. He compelled the respect of the entire Senate for his real talent for the work of a publicist and for Ms clear and forcible oratory, though he put many Senators far -tway from him by his all too frank criticisms of run and methods In that able but Indescribable body of which he is a member.
