RD- An affray took place at Nanimo on
the 18th ult., on board the american ship
Commodore The crew, when ordered to
pump ship and work decks, refused to do
so. The Captain hired men from shore to
perform the duty and stopped the crews
rations. Towards evening the men, hav-
ing become somewhat under the influence
Of liquor, entered, the Captains cabin,
assaulted and knocked him down. lie
seized a double barrelled shot gun, of
which they disarmed him. The Captain
got out of their hands and fred three
shots at the mutineers. They returned
the fire and regular fusillade was kept
up for some time. Two of the men were
shot-one in the leg aud the other in the
forehead-neither seriously, aud the Cap
tain finally hid himself in the coal. The
mate ran and told Officer Stewart, who
went down and rescued the Captain and
subsequently took eleven men of the Com.
modore and two Of the crew of the ship
Gern,ania in custody. Captain Spaulding,

OLYMPIA. SATURDAY MORNING. MAR. .. lNs.
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION

Ii will be remembered that Congress
about year ago (thc act was approved
March ID, 1919 provided for the cele-
hra.ion of the one huudredth anniversary
cf American independence, hy holding Il
grand international Exhibition Of arts,
manufactures and products Of soil and
mine, in the city of Philadelphia July 4,h,
1876. The pro1rie:y of such an observ-
ancc will be generally conceded and the
distinction that Philadelphia bears Of being
the city wherein was prepared, signed and
promulgated the immortal Declaration Of
Independence places it UNNECESSARILY be-
yopd any sentiment of local jealousy or
rivalry that might have arisen lad any
other place been chosen for this grand ma
tional jubilee, 1t is likewise happy
thought that the completion of the ceu,u-
~ Of our national existence should be com
mcmoratcd by an exhibition of the natural
resources of the country and their dcvcl.
opement, and of its progress in the arts
which benefit mankind in comparison with
those Of older nations.
The act referred to authorizes the Pres.
idept, whenever he shall be informed by
the Governor of the State of Pennsylvania
that provision has been made for the cree.
tion of suitable buildings for the purpose,
he shall appoint one delegate from each
State and Territory, who shall constitute a
commission, to lie entrusted with the exc.
cution ola plan for holding said exhibition.
The city Of Philadelphia having made an
appropriation to comply with the stipula-
tion, the President has just appointed these
"dclcgatcs." The choice in this Territory
has fallen upon Elwood Evans, Esq, a
most worthy selection, and Alex s: Aber-
nethy, Esq, as substitute, gentleman
likewise well qualified to represent our
young Territory on that occasion. The
results cannot but be of the greatest beue-
fit. Our products that have so surprised
few in the great metropolis, will astound
the nation, if we can secure representa-
tion at that time. We have time enough.
certainly to make all needed preparations,
and our Farmers Club, with this object in
view, will have work before them that
will engage universal attention and COM
maud hearty cooperation.

LIBERAL REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

The following resolutions were adopted
W the Liberal Republican Convention
recently held in Missouri This is Repub.
liean testimony remember, and no, subject
to impeachment:
R"sairet That the shameless abrs. Of the
Government patronage for the control Of con-
ventions and elections whether in the interes t
Of an individual, faction or II party. with the
consequent corruption and decentralization of
political life, demands II thorough and genuine
reform of the public service those who would
suppress investigation forget that they owe !,
higher DUTY 20 tie country tha~ to any party
We honor those Senators whose courageous
course has compelled the disclosure of grave
misdeeds. and they deserve the thanks and
hearty support oia good citizens.
Rtso,rcd, That local Seli-gOvernmcnt, with
impartial suffrage will guard the rights of al,
citizens more securely than any centralized
authority: that it is time to stop the GROWN.
encroachmcnt Of the Executive power, the use
of coercion or bribery to ratity Il treaty, the
packing of IL Supreme Court to relieve rich
corporations, She seating OF members of Con-
sress not elected by the people, the resort to
unconstitutional laws to cure ku-kluX disor-
der, rrolioion, or utemperancc, and the sur
render Of individual freedom to those who ask
that the practice or creed of some shall he the
law of all /; that we demand tor Tie individual
the largest liberty consistent with public order,
for the State Scit-government, an for the ma
ton return to the methods Of peace and con-
stitutional limitations ofpowcr.
ResOiced, That true Repuhliranism makes i.
not the less our duty to expose corruption, de-
nounce the usurpation Of power, and work for
refoi;ns necessary for the public welfare. The
times demand an uprising of honest citizens to
sweep from power the men who prostitute the
name Of an honored party to selfish interests.

THE PLANK RoAD.-The Courier makes
an item every day about the plank road in
process of construction on Main street
If the weather is fair and the work pro.
crosses, the Courier, fguratively speaking,
claps its hands and crows for JOY; if il
rains and work stops, it uses cues" words
aud will not be comfosted. So it pulls
and squalls, and tugs and bawls, and scolds
and hauls by turns, for all the world like
an infant terrible" as it is. One would
almost believe that the local Of that jour.
nalhad graduated as Pike cousty OK, driver
from the proficiency displayed in whacking
away at one subject lifetime.

TEMPERANCE CONFERENCE.-The NJ

TEMPERANCE CoNvENTIoN.-The Ma
tioual Temperance Convention met at Co.
lumbus, Ohio, Feb. 22d, and nominated
James Black, Of Pennsylvania, for Prcsi-
dent, and John Russell, of Michigan, for
Vice-Prcsident. The Convention adopted
a platform, setting forth the manifold evils
resulting to the Nation from the sale and
use of intoxicating liquors; declaring that
the evil must be abated by prohibitive leg
islation, both State and National; asserting
that neither of the political parties of this
country will take any decided stand in
favor of temperance, for fear of losing
the liquor vote, and it is therefore ncccs-
asry to form distinct temperance, party.
The resolutions also denounce corruption
in Office: favor National currency con-
vertible into cola; reduction of postal,
railroad and telegraph rates; oppose mo.
nopolies; demand suffrage for all persons
without regard to sex, and favor liberal
policy in promoting foreign immigration.

caused by blow or fall. Coroner Mess
man. pr. Steele and others Immediately
proceeded to the scene Of the casualty.
a Jury was impane,el and their investi.
cations elected the following facts That
on the evening Of the Sd inst, few niin.
utcs after : o'clock. Mr.. Hoffman left a
party of friends with whom lie had been
spending the afternoon to return to this
place; that soon afterwards several parties
heard meanings, rs if Of some one in dis
trc>s, and searched itv the cause without
success, it being finally attributed to d
lodge of Indians cncampel in the vicinity
that when found life had been extinct
many hours; aud death had evidently been
caused by falin, over the cmbankmcnt
near where the body was found. The
Coroucr's jury--composel of Messrs. S.
G.. Ward, s. y. Cooper, James Cawlcy,
Hugh Conncll, n. Barnhart and J. n
Baker returned verdict of" accidental
death, caused by falling over the bank Of
the river"
a correspondent Of the Courier, under
date of the 9TH inst states that: "a re.ex.
animation of the river bank where young
Hoffman fell, shows upon a closer and
more careful view of the premises, the
very spot where the head Of deceased
came in contact with au overturned stump,
aud tells Enthusiastically the secret tale Of
the death wound. Hair that was once
Mr.. IlofTman's was found adhering to the
broken end of small fragment of round
stick, not larger than mans finger. Said
stick, in all probability, had lain at the
point of contact between the young mans
head and the stump where he fell. The
fragment Of wood and hair here found and
the hair Of the corpse on being placed side
by side, under the lens of powerful mi
croscopc-such as bankers use wherewith
todctsct paper supposed to be fraudulent
showed the evident fact that both the hail
of deceased and that found under the river
bank bad belonged to the same individ.
ual.'
The deceased was but twenty years Of
age, an Industrious and much esteemed
member of the community. But one OIL
eleven children remain to cheer the afflicted
parents, whose grief is shared by the
friends of the deceased and the community
at large. The remains were inferred on
Tuesday in the Masonic cemetery.
