ST. LOUIS, June 1F--While the head
quarters of some states have not beer
crowded, as Is usually the case before
the convention assemblies, there has
been big day at the Ohio delegation,
known as the Mckinley headquarters,
Some of the Ohio delegates and MIR.
Hanna are on duty there all the time,
while delegates Foraker, Bushnell and
Grosvenor, and some district delegates
are out visiting other state delega-
tions and leaders.
When Hon. Charles W. Fairbanks,
the temporary chairman, arrived this
morning from Indianapolis, Mr.. Hanna
and others had long conference with
him over the key note speech, and
later, this keynote speech was SUBJ
mltted to a conference of Mckinley
leaders. 1t is understood the keynote
speech will be in the line of the Indi-
ana platform, which specially shows
opposition to the free coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to /.
At Mckinley headquarters. there 10
still the fullest confidence in the favor
lite having 633 votes on the first ballot
out of total of 9l6, but there is not
any fixed slate for the nomination for
vire-president or any ultimatum on the
plank.
There is no trouble about the plat
form except in the divergent views Of
the East for gold and the West for sill
yer. while Michigan, Indiana and
Ohio with other middle states, want
the Eastern idea expressed in the cur-
rency plank without the word "gold"
IN the phraseology Of the declaration
Of single standard.

B. B. Hinkley, q Minnesota banker,

some statements regarding diversified

cause such great disaster among the
farming classes. The fact that farm

tant from the towns many miles and
necessitating hauling farm products q
long distance, are meeting good sale
at S25 per acre, in spite of the hard
times complained Of late, is a proof
that the Minnesota farmers are In
quite a prosperous condition. They
nearly all have ready money ia the
banks, debts have been wiped out
almost universally, and many Of our
farmers are loaners of money, In large
amounts. To diversified farming are
due these conditions, coupled with

No nominations are expected this

their candidate, Garrett A. Hobart,

lookedfor result of the present
strike of the 1000 fishermen
who want more for fishing than the
packers claim to be able to pay.
The prospects are that the Columbia

followed by a stronger concern--a sim
gle corporation which shall be so firm-
ly entrenched as to command vast in

which will dictate and not be dictated

Packing Company, and 1t will absorb
all the big and little fishing interests,
consolidating them into one enormous
plant and do business on an unpre.
cedented scale.
The packing combine is not
an undreamed-of possibility by any
means. The fact is, the scheme is ri
pening for consummation. One of
the ealthiest Gamers on the Colum-
bia decl Tres that the strike has has
tened this end. The cannerymen are
being driven into consolidation for
protection of their Interests not only
fr I'M the fishermen, but fro-: the mis-.

autumn it is confidently belieyed-no
matter what becomes of this years

ganized and the consolidation effected,
The plan has been on foot for some
time. If organized in time, as it is
sure to be, the com bine's lobby will be
a factor in the state legislature this

early hour this morning two unknown
men assaulted Charles Johnson, night
watchman of the bridge over the
Sacramento river, and beat him into
insensibility with club. At the rail
road hospital it was found that John
sons skull had been fractured, and it
is thought he cannot recover. The
men were about to throw johnson into
the river, when they wer, frightened
away by approaching footsteps. 1t is
believed that the men who assaulted
johnson were the same he had ordered
off the bridge earlier in the night for
insulting a woman.

Rich Strike In the Virtue District

BAKER CITY. June 13.-While pros
pecting in the hills, about four weeks
ago. Ed. Smith, Thomas Daley and J..
A. Murphy noticed little bits of quartz
strung around the surface. which had
evidently been pulled out by the squir.
rels, which abound in that vicinity.
They proceeded to investigate, and,
after going down about four feet, un-
covered what appeared to them a
promising two-foot ledge of free mill
ing ore. AT depth of II feet the
ledge widened out to FIVE feet. The
quartz is of sugary nature, and con-
tains those little cubes OF iron-sure
indications Of gold-every handful OF
the ore prospects. They are now
down to I8 feet and have visitors all
day long, and whoever tries his hand
at it finds gold when panning the stuff.
Men couversant with values conserva'
lively place it at SlS per ton, although
as high as $50 Is claimed for it.
