HARTFORD, May 5.-The Republican con- vention reported a list of officers headed by Senator Hawley as permanent chairman. In the course of his speech he said:
 "I am not here to say who will be or should be our nominee for the presidency. I know well how warm a place in the hearts of many of you James G. Blaine has always occupied, and know well that all Repub- licans were saddened by the announcement that he most positively withdraws from the candidacy which so many earnest friends were crowding upon him. His brilliant and versatile mind, his chivalrous gallantry and his ardent Americanism compel friendship. Since he has the genius to be loved, let him have the justice to be honored."
 Delegates were elected as follows: At Large-Morgan G. Bulkeley, of Hartford, with l.. B. Plymptom, of Hartford, as alternate; James P. Platt, of Meriden, with William c.

 Cleveland-California and Maryland Re-
 publicans will Fight for Harrison-The
 Presidents Friends Are Hopeful.
 WASHINGTON, May 10-Postmaster Man ley, of Augusta, Me, one of Secretary Blaine's most faithful followers, has been in Washington for several days and has held a number of consultations with MT. Blaine. Before leaving for home, MT. Manley said:
 "There is nothing in this new talk about Mir. Blaine and the presidency. When he wrote his letter of last February to Clark son, in which he stated that his name would not go before the convention for the nomi- nation, he meant it. He has not changed his mind since then. He says frankly to those who spslk to him on the subject that he feels better than he has for long time, and he knows of no reason why he should not live for years, but he is conscious that he could not endure a great and unusual strain He does not intend to place himself in position where such a strain could not be avoided"
 To Discourage Blaine Talk.
 This announcement by MT. Manley is in- tended to discourage the Blaine talk, which has grown so aggressive of late that some of Mir. Blaine's friends are saying the use of his name must be checked unless his too ardent and indiscreet admirers wish to force him either to retire from the cabinet or to write another more forcible letter of renun- citation.

Phenominal Run of salm ON.

Review. The greatest run of silver
salmon for years is now in the Siuslaw
river. The advance guard crossed the
bar on the 24th of September, and those
who witnessed their coming say it was a
grand sight to see them as they seethed
and rolled and squirmed, almost chok
ing the flow of wondering waters in their
mad rush. Timmin's seine caught in
four days upwards of 1000; the two
biggest hauls beng ,256 and l, ,104. The
seine was then laid off as the gill nets
could easily supply all the salmon need
ed. The Rose hill cannery packed dur
ing the week ending October Sd, 19, 800
salmon, or nearly 200 tons of fish as they
were caught. Ohe man alone caught in
two nights 565~ fish, getting nearly 800
for two days work. Barney, one of the
progressive Indians, has already made e
more than 5000, and his two dusky
maidens of Is to IA summers, of whom
he is Justly proud, have filed at the
Timmins cannery more than sc, 900, get
ting $1.25 per thousand. In fact all who
have fished as well as the canneries
have done we'll.

Columbus Day in The DaIIes-The Ex-
ercises. Procession, etc.
Yesterday, all over the Pacific coast,
and so far as we have been able to learn,
for that matter all over the continent,
was a day of beauty, and all nature sang
praises to the name of Columbus, and
our native land.
The entire population of America
was assembled in honor of the day, and
the population of The Dalles was none
the least of these to do homage to the
discoverer OF Our Native Land.
! According to arrangement the public
| schools of the city had most excellent
programme. At the grammer school
building the main room was packed
with pupils, parents, and visitors, before
the hour of commencement, and the
overflow sought the shade of trees in the
yard.
! The hall was beautifully decorated,
and upon the blackboards were numer-
GUS appropriate sentiments and designs,
not the least of which was a drawing
of the Santa Maria, under full sail.
The picture of the Santa Maria, the
Pinta and Nina, the small feet of Col
umbus, drawing near to the strange land
whose stranger people stood ON the shore
awaiting them, is one which no Ameri-
can can consider without thrill of ad-
miration and of marveling.
In all the glory of tropical sunshine,
gently careering over the blue water
with sails cleaning, colors flying and
the symbol of the cross marking the sig
nifcance of the event, the three weird
bird-like objects drew nearer to the
beach; then the chains ratified, the an
chors plunged to the sand below and the
event was an accomplished fact.
Sixty-nine days had elapsed since the
admiral and his squadron had sailed out
of Palos; but from this number must be
taken the twenty-five days during which
they were delayed at the Canary islands
completing their outfit, SO that they had
been forty-four days on their eventfql
voyage between the sailing from Palos

Guanahani, or Watling's island Gas is
