At yesterday's morning ■avion, after temporary organization, several brief addressee ware made, including one by Chairman Finch, of the National committee. The afternoon session was opened with prayer, and a permanent organization was New Tork, Aug. 25.—The investigation into the administration of affairs at Castle certain cases. A special agent waa orlered to follow clews which bad been obtained, ana the result was the irreat of R R Brouner, a clerk in the pension office, for taking government records from the flies, and CoL Allen Rutherford, a claim agent, for receiving them.

They say that when their boat left the burning steamer there were fifteen persons on board. Finding it too crowded two persons jumped aboard another boat. There was only half a keg of water in the boat, and that was bad. A* a oonsequenoe they suffered badly from thliat. The weather was hot, and thia greatly contributed to their discomfort. Garden waa continued yesterday in thi deputy collector's room in the custom houte. It was to have commenced at 0 o'clock, irol it was a half hour later when the first witness of the day arrived and waa sworn by David Okey, of Secretary Fall-child's staff, who is conducting the investigation. The first witness called waa Editor David Schnitzer. He waa aooompanied by two women who lost their baggage laat May through carelessnaaa or robbery at the bands of some men engaged in the Garden as baggage or expressmen. They came by the steamer Elder and were landed at Castle Garden May 25. Checks were given them for their two pieces ot baggage in return for $1, which was paid for delivering it at No. 200 Second street. After waiting three days for the trunks, inquiries were made at Castle Garden respecting their non-delivery, and they were informed that they would be delivered next day. The next day one small piece of baggage was delivered to them which was not theirs, and th* expressman was told to return it and deliver tbe right ones. They waited and waited, but no baggage came. Various officials in the garden were informed ot tbe case without result, and when the money paid for delivering the trunks was demanded but fifty iosnts of the C1 could be collected. Peter T. Bnberg, manager ot the Scandinavian emigrant home, No. 8 Carlisle street, was the next wituoaa. His most important evidence illustrates the corrupt way th* baggage or scale room is managed. In the case of a Scandinavian woman who wanted to express some baggage to Duluth, Minn., the clerk in the baggage room informed her that it would cost ISO to ship the goods west. This the woman told Mr. Enberg. He thought the clerk had made a mlstakn and directed her to go down again and have the clerk write the amount down on paper. Thia waa done; yet ihe amount waa the aame, 150, which ia almost four time* the regular charge.

Y., Aug. 25.—The Prohibitionist* expect to hold to-day the largest state convention in the history of their party. Several hundred delegates are making things lively at the Empire house and Hotel Burns, and it is expqeted that there will be at least 1,000 delegates here. Kings county and New York arrived last night, about 800 strong, including those w. T. whkelkr, picked up by the way. The two counties are holding separate secret caucuses and will then try to come to lui agreement on the state ticket One matter likely to make a stir in the convention is whether the committees shall b e inade up of two members from each county, as has been the custom, or from each congressional district Kings and New York will deman d committee representation by congressional districts, as that *• nKCHwould give them about fifteen men to a committee, but the proposition will be fought strongly by the interior oounties. Dr. I. K. Funk, editor of The Votoe, will be made temporary chairman of the convention.F. Wheeler, of Albany, chairman of the state committee, says that the party organisation in this state is oomplete with the exception of Clinton and Essex o o u n ties. Every town and school district is being organised. Each county will raise money for a tent that will be moved from town to town under the auspices of the county committee, for the holding of public meetings. This A. a. hopkins. tent movement is aimed at the farmers. Mr. Wheeler expects a vote of 45,000, or about 25 per cent over last year. The United Labor movement, he thinks, will help the Prohibitionists by the breaking down of the political landmarks. It Is not probable that Mr. Wheeler will consent to be a candidate for the permanent chairmanship of the state committee, his term having expired. For his successor, Hanry Clay Bascom, of Troy, who ran for governor on the Prohibition ticket two ywu-s ago, is the most prominently talked of m.n Bascom can have it if be will accept it Col. W. C. Beecher, son of the late Henry Ward Beecher, has been talked of for attorney general, but it is understood that Mr. Beecher would not accept, and Charles H. Manierre, a New York, and son of the police commissioner, will probable be nominated. The country delegates favor the Rev. Dr. D. W. C. Huntington, a Methodist minister of Oloan, for secretary of state. New York and Kings county don't favor him. George R Scott, of The Witness and Pioneer, says that hs is opposed to putting a minister at tiie ticket Gen. C. T. Christenson is talked of for secretary of state by New York and Brooklyn men. For comptroller, Onondaga and Cortland county delegates are pledged to C. R Hitchcock, a rich oarriage mamifao of Cortland. W. W. Smith, a banker, Syracuse, IT. Y., Aug.
