STEVENSON IN OREGON.
Gov. Pennoyer Welcomes Him With
Speech on silver.


Portland, Ore, July 25.-Vice Presi-
dent Stevenson and party arrived here at
1880 o'clock this morning. At Salem tho
Vice President was welcomed to the state
by Gov. Pennoyer. Notwithstanding
that the hour was an early one, a great
crowd of people were at the depot. In
welcoming the Vice President the COVER
nor said: "No fairer land upon
the whole earth is visited by the sun
light of heaven than our own Oregon, and
yet with all our resources many OF our ia
dustries are standing still and hundreds
of our laboring men are without employ
ment and their families are without
bread. This condition of affairs is le-
gitimate result Of the departure from the
financial policy of our fathers which was
made two years ago and which still
exists. Believing this we appeal
to you to use your utmost infiu-
ence to procure return to the
policy Of the government which was
successfully followed for eighty years.
Simple repeal of the Sherman law, thus
leaving our financial system on a gold
basis, by the great political party which
elected you to the next highest office in
the gift Of the people, which gained con-
troll of the legislative and executive
branches of the government which
pledged itself TO the people in its last
national platform TO secure without dis
eliminating against either metal the
coinage and use of both gold and
silver as the standard money of
the country, would be a most fragrant
breach of good faith which all honorable
men would scorn, and which would justly
subject the party perpetrating II TO the
unmeasurod contempt of the nation and
the world Nor would it be of any bene-
fit. The people of Oregon, therefore, beg
you to aid in carrying out the written
pledge of your party by the restoration of
the former financial policy of the govern
ment, which would result in the return OF
prosperity, q revival of the industries
and the employment of vast army Of uu-
employed"
THE vICE-PREsIDENT's REPLY.
Vice President Stevenson, after ex-
pressing gratefulness for the welcome,
said: "In response to the words of the
distinguished executive officer of this
state, can only say that to the best OF
my abilities | will endeayor to cooperate
with those who, regardless of party, have
in view the best interests of the common
people of the land"
After breakfast the party were driven
about the city, returning at IL O'Clock,
when the vice president reviewed a pro-
cession,u embracing the local civicn and
military organizations. The programme
this afternoon consisted Of a visit to the
United States coast defence vessel, Mon
terey. Tonight public reception was
held at the hotel.

Thirty Persons Injured in a Smash
Up in Ohio.
Cuyahoga Falls, o., July 25.-The sec

east of MIunroe Falls about 4;30 o'clock
this morning. Spreading of the rails
caused the wreck at a point where; there

When the cars left the track many of

DOWnGd by Two BTuteS.

After Choking and Beating Her Into
a Helpless Condition They Perpe-
trate Still More Terrible Outrage.
One Of Them Reported Caught and
Lynched.-The Country Secured for
the Other.
Columbia, S. O., July 25.-A special to
the Journal from Swansea, on the South

''The other negro, Will Thompson, has
not been caught as yet, but the neighbor-
hood is searching for him and he will be
caught"
ON THE WATCH AT COLUMBIA.
News of the lynching reached this city
to-day, having been received by the chief
of police. It was thought that Thompson,
the fugitive, principal in the dastardly
crime, was IN tne Guy, ana ChleI had-
cliffe Immediately started on a search for
him. The report received here shows
that the crime was one OF
the most outrageous ever commit
ted in this state. The negro
Hardy held the unfortunate woman while
Thompson accomplished his purpose.
Hardy had not been lynched when the
gentlemen who brought the news to Co
lumbia left, but there was no doubt that
he would be in a very short while. Mrs.

wife Of oneof the most prosperous citizens
of the neighborhood.

LOUISVILLE BANKS sUcoUMB.
Three Yield to Heavy Withdrawals Of
Deposits.

Louisville, KY, July 25.-The Mer-
chants National Bank suspended pay
ment this morning.
The Fourth National bank threw up
the sponge at l rs O'Clock this afternoon
after a hard fight. A run during the
morning, with a drain from country
banks, caused the suspension. President
George Davis was seen just after the
closing of the doors "All the informa-
tion we have to give out at this time, " he
said, 'is that no one will lose a mill by
our suspension"
Four national banks have thus far sus-
pended since Saturday.
The officers of the Merchants National
Bank assert their sOlvency, and that de-
positors and stockholders will receive
dollar for dollar
BY 10:30 o'clock it became evident to
the directors of the Louisville Deposit
Bank that they could not meet the days
demands AS the general condition of
financial affairs was such as to preclude
hope of outside assistance, the directors
ordered the doors to be closed, and papers
were prepared making an assignment to
the Germania Trust Company. The De
posit Bauk was organized little over a
year ago by Moses Schwarze, its presi-
dent, with paid up capital of 100000.
1t was started at bad time, and was re-
fused admittance to the clearing house.
1t, however, seemed to prosper for awhile
and at one time its stock sold above par.
1t might have pulled through but for the
suspension of three national banks.
A NEGREss STARTS RUN.
At o'clock this afternoon a small run
was caused on the German Bank by an
old colored woman who had $50 deposited
there. She did not have a certificate with
her, and loudly demanded that she be
given her money without Identification.
The noise she made attracted
attention, and in few moments
a hundred people were about. The bank
officials had strong box, said TO contain
$500, 900, brought over from the Louisville
Trust Company. The money was spread
out on the counter and the cash
ier announced that he was
ready to pay off any and all
claims. A few of the small depOsitors
drew their money, but the others were
speedily satisfied that the BGerman ank
was in noIdanger and left. Subsequently a
heavy run started on the German Bank
and continued up to o'clock. The bank
has over $780, 900 in cash and 81, 800, 900
worth of securities, which can be turned
into money at a moments notice.
Several banks kept open until 6

RICH BUT WITHOUT CASH.
A Big Milwaukee Bank Forced to
Close It's Doors.

Close Its Doors.
Milwaukee, July 25.-The Wisconsin
Marine and Fire Insurance Company
Bank closed its doors this morning. This
is Senator Mitchells bank and has been
considered the strongest bank in the
city.
There were many dramatic and even
touching scenes in and about the closed
Mitchell bank. Milwaukee people had
become so imbued with the idea that this
bank-the old Mitchell bank-was Glib
raltar of finance, that they could not
credit the report that it had closed.
There was a general belief that
when all the other banks had dis
appeared from the face of the earth
that bank which Alex. Mitchell founded
would continue to do business at the cor
ner of East Walter and Michigan streets,
and it was this firm faith in the banks
stability that made the shock to the pub
lie confidence so great.
A few minutes after 10 o'clock rumors
that the bank had not opened its doors
began to circulate on the streets,
and Immediately there was a rush
in the direction of the Mitchell
building People would not believe
what others told them, but insisted on
crowding up the marble steps and read
ing the notice of suspension for them
selves. The story of the failure is the
one so often told nowadays, a steady and
long continued drain of deposits and ina
bility to promptly realize cash upon col
laterals. The bank is solvent and
wealthy

TURNER FOR SENATOR.
Men Who Want to Fill His Seat in
the Lower House to Boom Him.

Washington, July 25.-Sterling Rob
erts, of Sparta, is back at his desk in the
pension office after his jaunt with the
Georgia press down into Florida. He re-
ports political matters in South Georgia
very uncertain. Representative Turner,
he thinks, viii be in the race for the sen
atorship, and that the politicians who
want his congressional seat will upport
him with energy. The probability is that
South Georgia will get the senatorship.
The press boys had little to say about
politics at their meeting and seemed dis
posed to wait de velopments.

ENGLAND's MINERS.
An Advance Asked For in Northun-
berland and Durham.

London, July pa new feature was
added to-day to the impending struggle
between the miners federation and mine
owners association. The miners fedora
tion is now taking steps to fight against
the proposed reduction of 25 per cent. in
their wages. To-day the Northumber
land miners asked for an advance Of 1914
per cent. in wages, and the Durham mi
ners asked for an advance Of Is per cent.
It is not known what action the men will
take in the event of a refusal, but as they
now belong to the miners federation,
having abandoned their own organization
after the disastrous strike of last year, it
is probable that their course will be laid
down for them by the federation.

SIAM SURPRISED.
Franco Urged TO Define Exactly What
She Considers Her Rights.


She Considers Her Rights.
London, July 25.-The correspondent at
Bangkok of the Times Jelegraphs that the
Siamese foreign minister, in replying to
the statement of Nj. Pavie, the French
minister, that Slams answer to the
French ultimatum was not satisfactory,
expresses surprise and regret that the abb
dication by Siam of her sovereignty, not
only over that part Of her territory IN
dispute on the left bank of the Mekong
river, but also over Stuntron
aud Khone, which are indisputably
Siamese by treaty, is not considered fully
In accordance with the requirements Of
France, The Siamese minister therefore
urges more strenuously than ever that
France define exactly what she considers
her rights in Menam and Cambodia and
on the left bank of the Mekong river.
The correspondent adds that the Siamese
government has offered to provide pilots
to take the French gunboats Lutin and
Comete down the Menam river from
Bangkok
In the House ofCommons to-day In re-
ply TO questions concerning the Siamese
situation, Sir Edward Grey, parliamen-
tary secretary Of foreign Office, stated
that Great Britain had received to-day
from France, verbal notice of the inten-
tion of the French Government to block
ade the Siamese coast.
NO NOTICE OF HxoCKADE.
Paris, July 25.-It transpires that the
reports current yesterday that the French
government had notified the various pow
ers of her intention to blockade the ports
of Siam were premature. No such noti-
fcation has been officially addressed to
the powers. Lord Dufferin, the British
ambassador, ana M. Develle, minister of
foreign affairs, viii hold another confer
enCe tomorrow, presumably on the ques-
ton Of the territorial demands mado by
France on Siam.
A BtTTER FEELING IN CHINA.
Fien-Tsien, July 25.-The Chinese gov
ernment has received news of Frances
territorial designs upon Siam with amaze
ment and Indignation. That France
shouldlay claim to the country up to the
twenty-third parallel Is regarded as an
intrusion upon the rights of China.
At PelSin the contention is that both
banks of the Mekong to point we'll
south Of the twenty-third parallel are
Chinese possessions. The Mandarin
party, which is bitterly anti-French, is
trying to force the government 10 inter-

greeable day The President, with his

While there are many conjectures as TO

New England state. The choice will not
fall TO either the south or west. The ap-
pointment will not be made, however,

Washington, July 25-The state depart
ment to-day received from Minister
Baker at Managua, Nicaragua, the follow
ing dispatch:7
"Revolutionists cannonaded Managua
from a steamer this morning without
warning, killing one woman near the
legation and woundine several persons. >
This is the only official information re-
ceived blythe state departments for week
or more, of the progress of the Nicara-
guam revolution. The situation of Minis
ter Baker is being closely watched at the
state department. II is not felt that he
is in any great personal danger, and If he
has made a formal protest to the revolu-
tiOnistS as reported, against their disre-
gard of the principles Of civilized warfare
in firing upon a town without warning
and dangering the legation building, he
has probably done so with view 10 MAX
ing the matter one of official record that
may hereafter be the subject of diplomat
ic negotiation,
The United States steamship Alliance
is now on her way to Corinto from Peru
If it should appear that Minister Bakers
person, or the safety of the legation is in
danger, through the failure of the laval
la government or of the revolutionists to
afford protection, and to ensure respect
to our flag, any emergency of that kind
would doubtless be followed by the land
ing of United States marines upon the
shores of Nicaragua for the second time
during the present disturbances, and this
time they would probably not be so
promptly Withdrawn as they were on the
other coast.
BOMBARDED FOR FOUR HOURS.
New York, July 25-A special to the

The City of Managua was under bonn

they started the revolt appeared of Man
aqua at o'clock in the morning, They
opened fire at once and continued TO shell
the city until O'Clock Thirty
shell in all were thrown into the
city. Considerable damage was done to
public buildings and private houses, and
two persons were killed. No notice of
the proposed bombardment was given, but
the Smelling was begun before the women
and children had a chance to leave the
city. One Of the shells burst near a house
occupied by Minister Baker and his
daughters. Minister Baker sent a protest
to the leaders of the revolution against
the violation of the rules of civilization
in shelling the city without first giving
