Y., Oct. 1.—The Democratio state convention bids fair to be as harmonious as was the Saratoga convention of last week. The delegates ate all hero, and the city presents a lively appearance. The state committee has heard the arguments of contestants, and the indications point to harmonious action in the convention. There does not appear to be any doubt but that the HiU slate, so called, will be nominated, viz.: For secretary of state, Elligtt Danforth; attorney general, Charles F. Tabor; judge of the court of appeals, Denis O'Brien, and the renomination of State Engineer Bogart and Comptroller Wemple. A hard fight is being waged by local Democrats and Republicans in behalf of William A. Beach for state treasurer, but the leaders say nothing can defeat Danforth for the office. In fact, the ticket may be said to bo cut and dried. As a prominent leader puts its "We are going to show Mr. Piatt tljat wa are an united pod as solid as was Ills convention." i Be the Ticket.

London, Oct. 1.—The savage scribes wht are always after some famouu author's scalf have at last got a grip on that of Mrs. France! Hodgson Burnett.

The reference was greeted with subdued cheers. But when, in the perora'ion, he wound np with the great and only Hill remark, 'I am a Democrat!"! the storm of applause which followed was without a parallel in the history of Empire State politics.

The report that the steamr "Arctic," sent out to make explorations at the head of the Yukon, was wrecked several welts ago, and its irew of 300 left destitute, with scant clothing and food, frozen up in the rigorous ice expanse of Northern Alaska. The old steamer "Yukon," which had been used only for storage purposes around Sitka, was fitted out with supplier, immediately upon receipt of the news of the Arctic's fate, but the four informants think the relief will.arrive too late. They state that to reach the Attic's crew the YukoH party will have to cut their way through miles of ice and then continue the journey overland, using dogs an I sledees, a method which involves great delay. On the whole the chances are that the Arlic passengers will be dead btfore their rescuers reach them.
