LINNTON'S SfELTER TROUBLE,
No Attack Yet-Claim That Bunker Re-
fused to Account.

PORTLAND Aug. Especial. The sit
uation at Linnton regarding the smelter
remains practically unchanged Messrs.
Seloyer and Bunker are still on top, and
the smelter continues to smelt. A deputy
sheriff is giving them protection.
The six detectives sent down by Manager
Sullivan, of Thiels detective agency. in
the interest of the executive committee of
the smelling company, who are trying to
oust Bunker and Selover, are also still on
the ground, but as yet they have offered
no violence. What they propose to do is
a question, but Sullivan says they will use
no force to obtain possession of the smelt-
er.
The threatened attack last night did not
materialize, and all that Bunker and
Selover are afraid of now is that the
enemy will attack the pumping station
and thus cripple the works Sheriff Kelly
was on the scene of the trouble today. but
seeing no indication of an immediate fight.
he returned without Offering protection.
f. J. De Hart, on behalf of the executive
committee, stated today that they are try
ing to oust Selover and Bunker, because
Bunker, while acting as secretary of the
company, never submitted a satisfactory
accounting, and refused to show the books.

GRAND ARMY ENCAMPMENr.
Greatest Gathering Known in the His
tory of the Organization.

UErAtrst U1hAeTinE hDoWn IN the HIS
tory of the Organization.
DETROIT, Mich, August 2.-Al things
considered there seems to be every reason
TO believe that the silver encampment will
be just what it was prophesied and in
tended to be, the greatest gathering of
veterans since the grand review at the
national capital at the close of the war in
1865.
The Grand Army now is at the zenith of
its glory. 1t has grown gradually TO the
present dimensions and in a few years will
come the time when the number of re-
cruits can no longer be equal to the num-
Der of comrades mustered out, and the
twenty-ifth national encampment is likely
to go down to posterity as the banner en-
campment in the history of the organiza-
ton
Trains and boats have been arriving
all day loaded with delegates who. as they
arrive, are quickly button-holed by
friends of different candidates for COM
mander-in-chief. The following are the
principal candidates: General III. A.
Barnum, New York; General John
Palmer, Albany; General Ira NJ Hedges,
Haverstraw, n. j.: Judge S. III. Hurst,
Ohio; Charles Lincoln, Michigan; GEN.
eral A. g. Weissert, Wisconsin; John
Smeabury, California.
1t is thought now that Washington will
secure the encampment for 1892, while in
1893 Chicago will secure the prize.

murdered and an attempt made to burn
his remains, which was prevented by the

meager clues which came into their pos

arrested and charged with the murder of

Geofge Maddox and George Collins,
third negro who was recently killed in
Stockton. went into Balls building on the
night of the murder and remained there
until he came home, Ousley remaining on
the outside to give the alarm in case the
police appeared.
When Ball came in Maddox and Collins
jumped him, and he showed fight to such
an extent that they hit him over the head.
He moaned so much that they hit him
again, and finally jabbed him in the throat
with fork. Not finding as much money as
they expected they felt mad, and after
securing watch chain. locket and few
other trinkets, the three men covered the
body over with straw while the man was
still alive, and set fire TO it. Two went to
the Dawson house, and all three left that
night.
Ousley states that his partners in crime
never gave him dollar, nor any part of
the swag; that they spurned him, and
that they have threatened him If he said
word.
Maddox says that il is all q lie, but very
visibly shows that he is deeply alarmed at
the prosp sct. He told one of the prison.

Plans for a Structure Submitted to Com.

TACOMA. Aug. 2-The Ledger today pub
fishes cut of the Washington state build
ing al the Columbian exposition. The cut
was made from designs Of building fur
nished Commissioner Meeker while at Chi
cago, and is designed TO cover 1900 square
feet. This is large space, being larger
than any other state in the Union except
four. and it is said one of the reasons why
so much space was set apart for Washing
ton was because this state was one of the
first to apply for space. The resources of
the state and the amount Of her appropria-
tion was also taken into consideration.
The architect making the design estimated
the cost Of the building at $4,000. 1t Is
desi gned to have towers on each corner
forty Tee; high. and is to be built of mater
ial from this state. No definite plan has
been formulated. but the Washington
building as designed is to be similar in pro-
portions to the main exposition building.

Why the Garfield Convention Did Not
Fxpress an Opinion.

Express an Opinion.
CoLFAx, Aug. q Especial. The fact
has just leaked ont that the County Farm
ers' Alliance in session at Garfield on Fri
day failed to pass resolution on the sub
ject of freight rates. but the reasons for
the silence cannot be learned. Inasmuch
as great deal has been published concern
ing the dissatisfaction of farmers over the
new schedule OF freight rates from Eastern
Washington to Sound points, it was natur-
ally expected that the first and most i'm
portant resolution would urge an extra
session of the legislature to enact a law
similar to the provisions of the Wasson
bill
1t has been hinted pretty plainly by one
or two delegates that this convention con-
tanned more politicians and incidental
farmers than actual farmers, who are at
this time harvesting, and that the motives
OF these politicians in keeping quiet on so
important question was 10 gain political
capital for the next election by contending
that Republican governor and legislature
had failed TO give relief from exorbitant
freight rates. 1t was noticed that the poll
ticians who controlled Fridays conven-
tion were all of Democratic faith, except
State Secretary Arrasmith and Vice
President Williams. Senator McCroskey
manipulated things to suit himself What
ever the motive was the action of the con-
vention has caused an endless amount of
gossip in political circles.

OMAHA, Aug. g. The trouble a the
Omaha and Grant smelling VIC rs over the
eight-hour day took on a more serious as
pect today. The men have been working
eleven and twelve hour shifts, and have
many times agitated the question of shifts
of eight hour each. When the eight
hour law went into effect Saturday the
company demanded the men to sign con-
tracts binding themselves to work the
same hours for the same pay as before.
The men were not willing to do this, and
were asked to report to the main Office OF
the company. Several did so report and
were promptly discharged.
This created much dissatisfaction and
all last night muttering, of discon :ent
were heard. A strong force of police was
put on guard at the works and the trol BILE
was averted at the time.
AT O'Clock tonight the day-shift men
men assembled at the hall in Bohemian
town" and there in Bohemian, Polish and
other foreign tongues discussed the ques-
ton. When liquor and oratory had suf-
ficiently aroused them they marched in a
body to the works and drove the men from
the furnaces and other parts OF the build
ings. The police there could do nothing
with the mob.
By 1 O'Clock this (Monday) morning
everything is quiet. All the men had quit
work and left the place. No one was in
jured, though the mob at one time threat
ened the reporters with violence. The
fires in the furnaces were all left TO take
care of themselves and many OF the cupo-
