Blaise finally succeeded iu setting the ninth quadrennial convention of the Republican party to take him at his word, and yesterday his political heir, Gen. Harrison, of Indiana, was nominated for president Indiana is the pivotal state this year, and in taking Blaine's advice and choosing an Indiana man for the Republican presidential nominee, the convention acted 'vrith more -wisdom than it was supposed in the closing hours of last week it would do. Just what Harrison's record is on the Chinese question cannot at pres ent be ascertained. The fact that California so promptly cast'its vote for Harrison implies that Saturday's squabble was cleared up. The St Louis convention disre garded Voorhees' eloquent warning and discarded Indiana's claims for second place. The Chicago conven tion gives an Indiana man and a man popular with the Hoosiers, first place. In 18&1 Indiana, in the presidential election, gave 20,389 Republican ma jority; in 1868, that state gave 9,568 Republican majority; in 1872, 22,515 Republican majority; in 1876, 5,515 Democratic majority; in 1880, 6,642 Republican majority; in 1884, out of a total vote of 491,774, Cleveland had 244,990; Blaine, 238,463; Butler, 8, 293; St John, 3,028. The figures for '81 show how closely the state is divided. This year the campaign will be a conflict of ideas, and with a candi date from Indiana, on a platform so clear cut and unequivocal, it looks as though ''Harrison should carry his own state. WithJIndiana the Bopublicans only need four more electoral votes to give them the neoessary 201 to elect The nomination of Levi P. Morton for the vice-presidency may bo looked upon as a mistake. New York is lost to the Republicans. The great em pire state is Republican, but tho great foreign free trade importing city on Manhattan Island, and its annex on Long Island, are "ferninst" American protective policy, and will count the 36 electoral votes for Mr. Cleveland. To have taken Phelps of New Jer sey, might have given the Republican ticket New Jersej's nine electoral votes; better yet, the nomination of Hawley of Connecticut, would have doubtless insured Connecticut's six electoral votes in the electroal col lega However, the convention, which seems to have had some political idiots in its composition, might have nominated Depew, or some other deadeuer, and so, on the whole, it is to be congratulated on what it didn't do, as much as what it did. Wii-JHEXitr Habeison, "Tippecanoe and Tyler too," the grandfather of Gen. Harrison, was elected president in 1840. Of 294 votes in the electoral college ho got 234, Van Buren receiv ing 60. That year there were polled 2,410,778 votes, of which Harrison got 1,275,017. f 1 Pendleton progresses; at the last session of its town council it was or dered that cows should no longer be allowed to go at large in its streets. Benjamin Harbison, the Republi can presidential nominee, bears con siderable personal resemblance to Hon. M. C. George.

A Pacific Speech On His Accession. (special to the astoman) Beelin, June 25. The Reichstag opened to-day with pomp and bril liancy; after divine service in the court chapel. JLno emperor was es corted to the great ceremony in the hall of the old castle where he de clared the session opened. Thronch out his speech the emperor dwelt upon Uermany's paciho disposition, He says his policy aims solely toward off attack and not to acquire millitary glory. The empire he declares de sires peace with all nations. The emperor says farther that Germany will aanere to ner alliance witu Aus tria which public opinion supports rs the basis Of European equilibrium and inheritage 01 Herman liistorv. The same relations and national needs unite Germany and Italy. These re lations will permit careful cultivation of the emperor's personal friendship with the Czar, and maintenance of pacific relations with Rnssia which have lasted for a centnry in conso nance with the emperor's feelings and Germany's interests.

V. lliilletln 21.) Yestordny tho steamer Bcrthli arrived from luirluk. hnvini! on board thren sailors of tho tchoonor Isabel, which left mis pore on April Htu, on a codllsning inn. ua mo 1st 01 JUnv tno vessel en countered a galo and sprang a leak, bat a sail was placed over it and tho pumps ?iaicUy froeu tho vessel of water. Tho ollowmg morning tho sail was carried away, but was again adjusted boforo any serious damago was done. On May 3d tho sail again became displaced, aud'tbe water poured in in torrents. Tho cap tain seeing that lie conld not saio tho vessel, gave orders to tho men to take to the Huiall boats, and on that evening the crew left in eight dories. Five of them contained two men each and tho others three men each. The skin's were divided into two parties of four each, and con nected by ropes and provisioned with salt ham, crackers and water. On the first night it was qnito calm, but tho follow ing morning a breeze sprang up and the sails were set, and as some of the dories sailed faster than the others, they parted company, four of the boats remaining to gether. On tho afternoon of tho second day a strong galo came on, and the oc cupants of the dories had to take in their sails and put out drags, in order to keep tho head on the sea, so that the skiffs would not turn and be capsized. The gale was increasing all tho time, the sea running mountains high. In tho morn ing two of the dories had disappeared, in all probability foundering during the gale. Gorman, ono of tho survivors, was in one of the remaining boats, and tbe second mate in tho other, and when the storm moderated in tho morning, they found that their comrades had gone crazy. The two had considerable diffi culty in overpowering the crazy men, but they finally transferred them into tho mate's boat, and 3 o'clock they told the pair that they would have to shift for themselves. They paid no heed to tho remark and Gorman and tho mate hoisted tho sail and parted company with them. For tho next three days thoy were tossed about, and not having a couipxs.s thoy steered by the sun. On tho 8th of May, being five days in the open sea, thoy sighted tho 'land. When they first sighted it tho wind was blowing stiff from shore, and for fortv-eiaht hours they had to pull in order to reach tho lsianu. There thov found three of tho men that had left tho vessel, Dave Harris, Harry Brown and Harry Holmes, who had landed about thirteen hours previous to them. Tho other threo sailors in formed him that on the morning of the 5th of May tho dory with It. .Noblo and xnomas liennen capsized, xno captain, who was in another of tho dories, en deavored to pull Kenned into his boat, and in so doing, his skiff capsized. Tho third mato nicked up tho captain nud pulled him into tho boat, but ho had been there bnt a few minutes beforo he expired. When tho men reached the island their feet wcro so badly swollen from being in contact with the salt water that theywero nnablo to move about, and had to crawl on their hands and knee3 in order to obtain tho wood to build a fire. . After beinc on the island for thirteen days they sighted tho schooner Otter and wero brought to a settlement on Kodiak Island. From this place they rowed to Karluk, a distance of ninety-six miles, at which place they were taken on board tho steamer Ucrtlia. Of tho crew of nineteen men who left hero on the Isabel all have perished save five, two ot whom aro still in Karluk, having been too weak to return on tho Bertha. Captain Henry Nickerson, who had charge of tho vessel, loaves a widow anu two children residing m this city. The Isabel was owned by Captain Anderson and Captain Nickersou. She was insured for a few thousand dollars. She was one of tho oldest vessels iu the codfishing fleet, being about twentyyears old. Tno Isabel is the second vessel that has been lost on tho Alaska coast this year, the Julia Foard having previously gone ashore in Karluk river. A. Sound Legal Oimeiiuii. E.

E. church, who is personally acquainted with Ben Harrison, said in nn inter view: "Yes, I know a good deal about Mr. Harrison. Harrison made a good record in congress; be is about 50 years old; short, thick set and vigorous nnd well preserved; he has a splendidly formed head. He is a man of dignity, and at first seems .reserved, but on further acquaintance be will be found to be a genial gen tleman. He is an elder in the first Presbyterian church in Indianapolis, and has been for years. He i re garded as a thorough-going Christian man and is very popular with all classes of people at home. He is a great favorite with Indiana people irrespective of party. He was raised on a farm and came to Indianapolis when quite a young man nnd has practiced law in that city from that timo to this except during the rebel lion, and during his term of six years in tho United States senate. He has long been regarded as one of the leading lawyers of Indiana." Personally Dr. Houghton expressed himself greatly gratified by the nom ination of Harrison, and ho thinks he is one of the very best and ablest men that could have been nominated. Mr. Harrison's family consists of his wife, two sons nnd one lovely daughter. Tho eldest son resides in Helena, Montana, where he married n very beautiful young lady who was quite a belle in Washington iu the winter of 18&L Mr. Houghton thinks Harrison stands a splendid chance of carrying Now York and the doubtful eastern states. He is in moderate circum stances financially. VALUABLE n3WELBY STOLEN. (SPECIAL TO TbE ASTOBIAN.) London, June 25.
