The tenth Kntional Conventi on that the- Republican party record s in its nun i ls be- gan at Minneapolis , Minn. , under a cloud- strewn sky, with thunder in tU a air and t cer tainty in every condition . -Minneapo lis and bt. ra ul had been wait- in; im patiently for weaks to see the opening of th e i p- eat conven tion , and thousands of peo p l e from all over the Xortbwest had journeved thither to enjoy the novel spe c ta- cle. Yet , t houg h both cities are overrun with visitors , the arran g ements at tb.3 con- vention hall were almost perfe ct , an 1 the delegates were enabled to gather and do the ir work without discomfort or interfer- ence. As early as 1 0 o ' clock the march began across the brid g es of the Mississippi River to the convention h all , and an hour later the first few had swelled to a steady stream , whi ch lasted unti l after the convention had been called to order. The Kxoosition Hall , as iU nam * Indi- cate s i s a biff show buildin g or permanent exhibition p lac e for the products oC llinne- sota and the two Dalcotas. It is n huge square wooden structure , built close to the e dge of the Falls of St. Anthony in South Minneapolis , on the op posite bank of the river from Minneapolis proper , and its tall tower commands a fin e view southward of the nei g hboring city of St. Paul . The interior of the bnilding is plain, but spacious , tal l p illars supporting a broad , fla t root which rises in the middle a dozen feet or more into a heavy sky li; ; ht through which the sun ' s rays fil ter down iuto central body of the hall. In this central portion are tho fea ts for the 900 delegates. On one side of the square , c ourt-like space in which the seats are arranged is the platform of the Presiden t , wi th seats on it for perha ps 800 people , each member of the N ational Com- mitte r havin g a p lace reserved here for his [From his latest p hMoerap afl own us? , an 1 one or t wo extra chairs f e rhis friends. On \ each side of the main pla t- form are the seats for the newspaper press . 800 or 400 in number. Behind the space rai led off for the delegates are sec- tions • £ s?=ts for spe c tators stretc hing back to the entranc e , and above ar j tiers of gal- leries all the way around the bnildin g . About the pillars which uphold the ro a f . haft way up, were sheaves of wheat gracefully cap ped and festooned against the galler y foot-rails about the hall were the shiel d! and coats of arms of the forty-fomr State *. Directly opposite the Chairm an ' s p latform , up under the roof , was a sort of elevato r cage for the band. The hall looked very beautitul in t ne morn ' n\ sunli g h t. Lillies and roses bloomed in front of the Chairm an ' s table , which , con- spicuou s article was of rich mahog any. s pecs- a lly carved for the occasion . The chair was of carved oak , and a handsome Turkish ru g covered ths p la tform. The first burst of cheering a rose when Governor McKm ley ot Ohio was reooTni zs- ' J movin g down the mam aisle ct a qua rter of 1' o ' cloc k . Immediate- ly after - .var ' N ew York' s fai r four— Piatt , Hiscock , Mi l i er and Dep a w—closely followed by the entir e delegation in a body, marched down ths centre , an d .vei<i warm ly app laud- ed. T hey tooK thei r alio ted seats immedi- ately in front of the chair. There wer « hundre ds and hundreds ol vacant sea ts in the galleries , bu t not many on the groa nd floor , when the time for call- ing the conventi on to order had ar rived. Bnt there were t OOO to 7>« I persons in the ball ea siiv en nne ii i - . s ' . ' . '5 when Genera l James P . Carlson , Cna frmaii ot in i National Commit tee , stepped to the desk and took the s pecial convention gavel in hi s hand. The con vention and galleries came to ordei quickl y, and there wa« not a dele g ate stand- in g when Mr. Clarkson announced tha t the session wou ld he o pened with prayer , by the Rev. Dr. Brash , Chancellor of the Uni- versity ot South Dakot a. _ A moment after- ward the whole convention stoo l as Dr. Brush, a Tener»We -lookin; man with sparsely covered bead and long white REPUBLICAN CONTENTION. beard , began to deliver tho invocation. He prayed for har mony and that tho platform and the oth e r issues migh t be subordinate 1 to \Thy grea t will . \ When he said \Amen , \ the convention s ettled down again with a rustlin g of badges that was like the whisperin g of au tumn leaves. There was a murmur of conversation , which was bushed f j uickly as 3f. H. Da Young, ot California , stepped forwa rd nni read the call for the con v ention. At this time there were not a doz j nof tb/i i l elegit s ' seats unfilled , bu t the galleries war e very em pty. Wha n tho readin g of the cal l was conclude! , and Chairman Clarkson ar ose and anno unced th at he was instructed by the National Commit- tee to prese nt to convention for its To n- porary Chairm an the Hon. J. S l on fc Fa - isett , of Ne w York . There w as a round of applau se at this announ cement , led b y thf New Yorkers , and Mr. Fassett , unescorted , left his seat and started for the pi itform. A pa th was o leared for him . and a minu te later Chairma n Clarkson was presentin g him to the convention. He recei ved tho customary vocal welc >rn * , the New York dele ^ ati ^ n ri * in ^ and wav;»~ t . hei r hats in his honor. Mr. Fassott lookel perfectly sel f-possessed as he gazed about the vast hall . In his hand was « typewrit- ten manuscript , to which he referred o c ca- sionally as lie spoke . Mr. Fa ssett' s speech was well received , the dele gations listening more attentivel y than they usually do to the orator y of a tem- porary chairman. The first touch upon t he sentiment of the convention came in an allusion to reci procity, artisticall y led up to by the speaker. It was the si gnal for a storm of cheers. Tho most skill- ful bit was his allusion to the great names ot the party—Lincoln , Seward , Grant , Sli e r- m an , Garfield and Lo gan. Tho speaker paused after each name , and gave tho con- ve ntion an opportunity to cheer , then , with a pause a little longer than the rest , he rap- idl y ejaculated , \Harrison and Blaine , \ and raisin g his finger as a signal , the im tire con- vention rose in one grand , s welling chorus of cheer s for the rival candidates. Almost equal to the ovation to Harrison and Bl aine was the enthus iasm inspired by e reference to ex-Speaker Keed . Mr. Reed was sea ted fur in the rear in the speaker ' ! stand anl was invisible to most of the audience. Some one started tho cry of ' •Reed f ' R?ed !\ mil it was instantly taken up by the delega tes anl tho gallery. The bnilding rang with the popu lar demand for the appearance of th a mm from Maine. Not until the Chairman of the convention turned and beckoned co m ai-in iin .:d y to him did he final l y aris a fr om bis seat and make a speech , which was frequently in terrupted by applause , whic h was renewed as Mr. Reed closed. There wer.? a lso lou 1 cxlls lor McKinley, Fora ker and Qi u iy. General Clar ^ .soii then report.: ) the nvno s ot the teni ii or. 'iry offi c ers ot the convention , and the selections o ' . t!te Nation a l Commi t , tee were at once approved without opposi- ti on. The rules of the last R e publican National Convention wei v adop ted , a - id on motion ot H enera l Bewell the roll was callo I and the Chair man of each delegi t um an- nounced the membera o( comantcces se- lected. This order of business gave the spectators a chance to see some of the leading men , and all of them was sufficiently popular to receive a pproving applause. Powell Clay- ton , of Arkansas; M. H. De Young ; ot Call- fornia; Townsend , of Colorado ; Governor Bulkeley, of Connectic ut; Ingalls , of Kansas; U E. McCar ns, of Mar yland : W .W. Cr a po , of Massachus etts; H. M.

The body of the big hall was so dons j ly crowded that it was only with the grea test difficulty that the late comers were able to reach their seats. The cro wd took advan- ta go of every opportunity that was offered to cheer and applaud , lntersperfn g it with shouts for Blaine , Harrison , McK inley and Reed . At twenty minutes before 11 Temporary Chairman Fassett entered I Us hall and was we lcomed with cheers. As soon as quiet was restored the conventi on was called to order , after which Bi5h op Whipp le stood up to deliver the invocation . When Governor McKi nley, of Ohio , ar- rived he walked do wn the main aisle to an accompaniment of cheer s . After he reache d the p latform three rousin g cheers were gi ven for him , accompanied b y cries of \He ' s all all ri ght. \ Governor -McKinley returned his thanks for the reception. Chairman Fas sett then introduced Mr. Walker , of Nebraska , who presented a gavel to the convention in a s peech that hardlj any one could hear. 4 lr. Fassott returntd thanks. The Tem porary Chairman announced the order of business to be the presentation of the Credentia ls Committee report. Mr. Cogswell , Chairman of that commutes , took the floor and said that the committee couldn 't re port before tho next day. L?av » to si t continuously was granted.

The oil regions of Penmylvanla we re visited b y a disaster of fire and water that is on ' 7 ecli psed in the history of this country by the memor a ble flocd ot Johnstown j ' .Jt th fc e years ago. It is impossible at present to give anythin g like an acourato Idea of the loss of life and property, as chaos rci gm thr oug h t ho devastated region and a terrible confla grat ion Hill rage s in OU City . It is unfa to » ny that not l ess thnn 150 lives have been lost. Near ly l ' - 0 bodies have alr ead y been recovered and many peop le are still mi t sin g . The numbe r may f ar cxneed 150 , but this Is regar ded n s a comerva tive estima te. The property loss will reach far into the millions. At Tiliisville the loss is estimated at $l , 50O , CO0; Oil Cit y, 1 , 500 , (00; Corr y, StfO , - 0 00; Jfeadvillo , $150 , 000 , and surro unding countr y probabl y a million more. For n earl y a month it has been raining throu ghout Western and Northern Penns yl- vania af w o s t incessan tly, and for tho past three or four days the downpour in the de- v astated regions has been very heavy. The constan t rains had converted all the small streams into ra ging torrents , so that when the cloudburs t came th e strenins were soon beyond their boundari es , and the K t'-n t h odv of ,vatcr come sweep in g down Oil creek l o Titt isville , which i s IS miles sou ' h of its sou rce.

The oil from the scores of broken tank s ran in to tlio cieek nnd wns ignited by l l o a tin g de- bris. In a few minu tes the creek was nblazc from shore to shure , nnd it was carried dow n the stream. Dea th and destruction followed in i ts wake. l vvcrything inflammable took fire and by the time It reach ed Oil City all tho brid ges be tween the two points were consumed. Oil Ci ty is eighteen miles from Titusvi le. The. town along the creek are Broughton , Miller Farm , Pioneer , P etroleum Centre , B yud Kouscville and McCliu to ckville. ltousevillo has about l .

M., n shilling engine set fire to oil dri pp ing fro m a lenky tauk car on n siding of the Western New York and Pennsy lvania Baiiroad , half a mile north of the centre of Oil Ci ty. The tank exp loded and tho burn- in g oil over-spread Oil creck , de6 troy ing about thirty lives and burning thousands of dollars ' worth of property. It was the greatest dis- as ter that ever occurred in the oil reg ions . Oil creek is no t usua lly more than a foot deep ac thi- point , where It empties into tho Alle gheny river , and about 100 yards wide. Direc t!}- at its mouth is the iron brid ge ot tho New Y ork , Pennsy lvania and Ohio liailroad . About two squares further up the stream is the iron nnd wooden bridge of the city con- nec ting the third ward with the c.ty pr oper. Ou tho east side of the creek is Trinity M ethodist Church on one side of Center strict and tne Derrick office and Oil Exch.nge opposite. Across the creek and built up squarely from the water ' s ed ge was tho hotel and livery stable of J. B. Keiubold and tho furniture hoaaj ot Paul boas, ' ihese b uild- in gs >iere built on a narrow stri p between tho creek and the hills which rise precipit ously immedia tely line* of them. T he tl a iue s swept over the entire upper part o l the city which wns flooded by the oil y waters ot the creek , and men , women and children who were moving lrom their bouses were cau ght by tue deadly flumes , and II not b urnui to death outri g ht were drowned iu the rag in g flood.

It was like a heavy cloudburst , and b y 9 n ' c ' ock the busin ess and eastern portions of 'he ltwn were under water , with the rain still falling in perfect torrents. The worst was reached st 11 o ' clock , when F rst avenue , Main stree t , the railroad yards and Centre street were like a roaring river , the water being from one to three ieet deep and all emptyin g into the flats in the esstern portion of the city. Th.re many peopl e were being rescued from their homes in the best way possible. The police force was stationed n greater part of the time at Union Depot , whe re the water had surrounded the building, was two feet deep and running at a rapid rue. Many in attempting to cross were thrown Info the waler ' an d ca rried some di s - tance before they could be rescued by the officers . There was no loss of life and but lew injured . CORRY INUNDATED. Meadville was swe pt by the worst flood in i s history. A mid-da y rai n of great volume s welled every stream bank-full , snd t ho st orm which followed in the evening brought the flood. Mill Bun overflowed its banks and swe pt the whole business portion of the city, d emolishing a dozen or more buildings and en tailin g a total loss of $150 , 000 , of which i ' >V , tl0 i ) are to the streets. The loss throug h- ou t the county cannot be estimated , l i rid g e s were washed away in every direct ion , leaving • ' c n rcel y passable roads iu the county. The dama ge to growing crops is heavy. No casual ties are re d one:}. The loss of the New York , Pennsylvania and Ohio l' .ailwa y C ompany in th eir Eastern div sion is heavy in brid ges and track.
