free tin plate, leaving the sheet steel from
which IL is made fairfield, that is the finished
product free and the raw material bearing duty;
second, free wool to the manufacturer ana
fairfield cloth to the consumer: third, free cot

to all the rest OF the states That is their idea
OF tariff reform. Gentlemen of the convention,
how do you like Il? This contest that we enter
upon is for the maintenance OF protection ana
reciprocity, [appIause,l and want TO say here
that there is not line in that tariff bill that Is
not American; there is not page that is not
patriotic; there is not page that does not rep
resent true Americanism and the highest posi-
bilities OF American citizenship. lGreat

At the conclusion of McKinley's speech
Hon. Fred Douglass, the colored orator,
was called for and bowed his acknowledge
ments.
Hon. Henry Bingham, of Pennsylvania,
presented the report of the rules commit
mittee, making the rules of the Fifty-tirst
congress the rules of the convention;
adopted by reclamation.
Governor Foraker, on behalf of the COM
mittee on resolutions, requested further
time, and the extension was granted.
The roll of states was then called for
the names of the new national committee.
When the roll was called and Clarkson's
name was announced, cheer after cheer
followed from the Blaine delegates. A
similar demonstration greeted the names
of J. II. Manley. OF Maine, and William
Malone, of Virginia. Wnen Missouri
was called and the name of Richard c.
Kerens was presented. the Harrison dele
gates made grand counter-demonstration.
Various resolutions which had been
sent to the clerks desk were referred to
the committee on resolutions without
reading.
Chairman Mckinley then said that the
next thing on the list was the nomination
of candidates for the presidency. Senator
Cullom rose and was greeted by loud APP
plause on the supposition that the dis
tinguished Illinoisan had risen to place
some one in nomination. Cuilom said,
however. that he arose merely to question
the regularity of proceeding to nominating
speeches before the adoption of the reports
of the committees on credentials and reso-
buttons. A glance at the rules showed
that the nomination could not be made
until the reports of the committees had
been received.
The convention adjourned at EOS p. m.
until IL o'clock tomorrow.

have resulted in murder. The difficulty
arose over beer pump which Allen claims
to have sold Runckles. On the night in
question he entered the latter's place and
demanded payment therefor. Harsh words
followed and Runckles pulled 4-caliber
revolver, and placing the muzzle
within a few inches Of his victims face,
fired. The bullet missed its mark, but
Allen was badly scorched by the powder,
and the force of the conclusion stunned
him. Thinking his sAot had taken

before cars containing merchandise in

THE OREGON ELECTION.
Eighteen Republican Majority in the
northumberland at Portland.


PORTLAND, June S.-Complete returns
from twenty-four counties out of thirty
one IN the state give the following plurali-
ties: Representative: First congress.
sonal district-Hermann, Republican,
$3.50; Second district-Ellis, Repub-
lican. 1851. Supreme judge-Moore,
Republican, 1,Sc9. Attorney gen.
eral - Webster, Republican, Dds.
These pluralities cannot be materially al
tered except on attorney general. The
Republicans control both branches of the
legislature. and will have at least eighteen
majority on joint ballot. The Peoples
party have elected one representative to
the legislature certainly, and may elect
three.
From returns SO far received in Multi
nomah county il is evident the fusion
ticket, or Citizens Democratic ticket, won
Q substantial victory. They have elected
two or three members of the legislature,
also clerk OF the circuit court, Henry L
Reed; recorder. Harry Allen; county
treasurer, Charles A. Malarkey, and cor
oner, Joseph Hughes. On an independent
ticket Penumbra Kelley, the pres
ent sheriff, was reelected. The
assessor is in doubt, with q
chance for Sears, independent Republic
can. The Republicans eject by hand
some majority William T. Hume prosecut-
ing attorney, and T. c. Powell, clerk of
the county court. On the state ticket
Ellis, Rep, was given 40. handsome
vote, and is undoubtedly elected. Slater,
Dem, poIled the full party vote. The
Peoples party on the state ticket polled q
very respectable vote-over 800 votes in
this county. The Prohibitionists are not
in it. At this hour majorities can not be
given.

The United States Buys SANTANA Bay.
PARIS, June s.-A dispatch from King.
ston, Jamaica, says great excitement was
caused in San Domingo by the announce
ment that the port of SANTANA bay, in the
western part of the island. had been
coded to the United States and the cession
confirmed. The Haitian minister is
alarmed, owing to the fact that American
Minister Durham, of Haiti, who is in
charge of affairs at San Domingo, has
taken residence in the city of San Do
mingo. The German consul at Port-au.
Prince has received instructions to come
to an understanding with the representa-.
tives of France and England with regard
to taking steps to safeguard the autonomy
of San Domingo.
tSamana bay is on the south side Of the PENN
sula of SANTANA. 1t is about forty-three miles In
length from east to west, by about eight miles
broad, and at its west end receives the Yuma,
the largest river in the Dominican republic. 1t
forms one of the finest herbors in the world, and
may be regarded a most important maritime
position, in reference to the trade of the Gulf of
Mexico and the interoceanie routes across Gem
trail America, both in commercial and military
point OF view.l

Socialists on Bohemian Mine Disaster,

vienna, June S.-The Austrian social
democratic congress has made report on
the Birkenberg mine disaster, in which it
is alleged that the immense loss of life was
due TO the officials driving the miners
back from the shaft when they were try
ing to escape just after the fire broke out.
insisting that there was no danger. The
key to the fire-engine house could not at
once be found. and time was lost in search
ing for it instead of breaking down the
doors. When found, however, it was of
no use, as there was no water for the en-
gines. The fire was caused by the ignition
of the lighted tapers of a small wooden al
tar erected in the lower galleries in honor
of the patron saint of Bohemia.

A Grand TorchIight Parade and Rally


The nomination of the Minneapolis con-
vention will be ratified by King county
Republicans on the evening of the day
following the day the presidential candi-
dates are named, unless the nomination is
made on Saturday-in which event the
ratification will be postponed until Mon
day-by grand rally and parade under
the auspices of the King County Repub-
lican Club. President Haddock and the
executive committee are now making all
the necessary arrangements, and sub-com-
mittees are looking after the details.
The King county club extends an invi-
tation to all Republican organizations In
Seattle and King county, and all Republic
cans, whether members of clubs or not, to
join in the rally. 1t is to be meeting for
all Republicans, and the King county club
is doing nothing more than look after
the necessary arrangements.
In general way the programme is to
have grand torchlight parade followed
by mass meeting on Pioneer place. Col
onel Joseph Green will be grand marshal
of the parade. One thousand new torches
have been bought by the King County Re-
that number more owned by
the other clubs. Visiting clubs
and delegations will be provided with
torches. Transparencies may be furnished
by individuals, although the club will pro-
vide large number. There will be
three brass bands in the procession. The
line of march and other details of the pa
rade will be arranged by Colonel Green
and the executive committee today.
At the mass-meeting speeches will be
made by some of the best speakers in the
county and state. A limit of ten minutes
will be placed upon each speaker. Bon
fires and colored lights will illuminate the
scene, which will be grandest of its kind
in the history of the city.
Further arrangements will be noted to-
morrow.

TACOMA. June ESPECIAL. AT con-
vention Of the Peoples party OF Pierce
county today the following delegates to the
state convention, at which delegates to the
national convention will be chosen, were
elected:
F. M. Sanders, D. B. Hannah, II. R. Harris.
W. G. Flynn, D. w. Sanford, Henry stephens.
D. C. Smith, G. w. Dickens, Fl. I. Lincoln, g. W..

Mr.. Hannah presided at the convention
and r. F. Little was secretary. At the
opening of the afternoon session Mrs. Bel
den, of Puyallup, sang solo. The words
were patriotic and the singer was warmly
applauded.
Resolutions were adopted indorsing the plat
form adopted by the various industrial organi-
cations at st Louis. believing it will restore the
now slowly disappearing government OF Wash
ington, Jefferson and Lincoln: implores at
tention to its provisions. hoping thus to secure
the overthrow of political trickery, chicanery
and injustice, and the establishment upon q
secure and permanent basis OF justice, truth
and lasting progress

having confidently looked to contin-
ued victory In all the contests. 1t
was only by one vote that they lost. and
they subsequently pulled themselves to-
gether and carried motion to adjourn,
with another motion to reconsider pend
ing. The Blaine men admitted the set
back, but predicted that before the report
had been prepared for submission to the
convention they would again be in the
majority. They said the fight would be
renewed, and they would seat the anti
Mosley faction in Alabama, who were
given seats by the national committee.
The news, however, gave great satsfac-
ton and encouragement to the Harrison
men.
1t is not probable that the work of the
credentials committee can be complete
and the report made before tomorrow
evening, and a night session tomorrow
must be ordered if the third day of the
convention is to see it permanently organ
ICED and in full working order. This will
throw the nominating speeches over until
Friday and later, if it proves to be hard
fight against the report, as threatened by
the Harrison men.
The credentials committee, upon re-
ooochioAih5 oAeCi WV" W
the Alabama contest, but left 1t for a time,
and the Fifth Kentucky district was
taken up, Matthews and Winstell being
seated. Matthews is usually classed as a
Blaine man, but this is not positively
known. 1t was decided unanimously to
seat the delegate from the Ninth district OF
Louisiana, no contest being made on the
one Harrison delegate.
In the case of Alabama, owing to mis-
understanding, some of its members as
sumed that the motion to reconsider was
still pending, but it appears that this mo-
ton, SO far as concerned the delegates-at-
large, was laid on the table by majority
of one vote, and it was only the motion,
subsequently withdrawn, to consider the
vote in the district case which was pend
ing at the time. This leaves up to
date substantial Harrison gain. The
Kellogg Warmoth contest resulted in the
committee sustaining, by an almost unan-
ious vote, the previous action seating the
four Kellogg delegates-at-large. These are
Blame men.

Boston Negroes Denounce the south.


BosToN, June 8.-The colored citizens of
Boston in mass meeting assembled last
night adopted strong resolutions denounc-
ing the outrages on the colored race in the
South and in New York. George w.
Bryan, of st. Louis, said:
We are here for the purpose of dsnouncing this
promiscuous lynching, burning, etc, whether in
the South or New York. II the Republican party
cannot take this giant coercion by the throat and
throttle it to death now, the negro had better
leave that party. Praying time is over and
reaping time is near at hand. The result may be
the annihilation of the negro race, but there are
to be found new Garrisons, Summers and Lin
coins, and II we cannot find that class up this
way to lead us, then there will be found some
black John Brown in the South.
E. G. Walker, Of Boston, said:
The time for fighting has come. You will
never save our people from being murdered in
the South unless you get up off your knees and
kill the men that did it (Great cheering1

$he exact effect of the Mckinley bill has
been determined. The Blaine delegates,
on the other hand, are apparently very
friendly, with the possible exception of ex-
Governor Foraker, Of Ohio. Among the
Western and Northwestern delegates
friendly feeling was manifested toward
kusk. The feeling comes principally from
the Western Harrison delegates. When
the name Of the secretary of agriculture IS
mentioned for the first place it Is generally
in conjunction with Whitelaw Reid or
some other prominent New Yorker for
vice president.
The state of California, always q strong
Blaine state, is sorely disappointing to
the friends Of the Plumed Knight. To-
day the Harrison managers started ont by
actually claiming a majority OF the dele
cation, and for q time it seemed as though
their claim might be well founded. A re-
action occurred this morning when Ma
tional Committeeman De Young, also
member of the delegation, received a tele-
gram advising him that the state central
committee had passed resolutions declar-
Ing it to be the overwhelming sentiment
of the people of the state that Blaine
should be selected as the standard-bearer.
The result of the telegram was the issuing
of q call for a meeting of the delegation
this afternoon. Great interest was
manifested in the outcome, but no
very substantial results were realized.
The telegram received by De Young, as
well as the text of the resolutions of the
state central committee. were spread be-
fore the delegation and the matter fully
discussed. A vote was finally taken, and
California was definitely ascertained to
stand eleven for Blaine five for Harrison
and two wagering and uncertain. Both
factions are tonight claiming these waver-
ing and uncertain delegates, but the gen.
tiemen themselves are very non-commit-
tai as to preferences.
At meeting of the alternates of the
California delegation today the following
resolutions were adopted unanimously:
Resolycd, That the aIternntes OF the California
delegation, believing that the wish of the peo-
pie should prevail, are unanimously in favor OF
James G. Blaine as the nominee OF the conven-
ton, and regret that they have not the power to
cast the votes of California for him. E. c. Voor-
hees, chairman; J. J. Matthews. secretary.
General Otis, OF the Massachusetts dele
CATION, says Massachusetts stands nine
teen for Harrison and eleven for Blaine.
The selection OF X. G. Kerens for national
committeeman from Missouri is signifi-
can't as it indicates that the Kerens men
have succeeded in overthrowing Chauncey
i. Fiiiey, who for years has been boss of
Missouri politics. In the present fight
Filley was for Blaine and Kerens for Har-
rison. There was an exciting scene in the
meeting of the Missouri delegation when
Kerens was chosen. and Major Warner
and District Attorney Reynolds, both
Harrison men, came to blows. Reynolds
was knocked down, but q reconciliation
was afterward effected.
