RocKPoRT, June 15.-Politics
here is commencing to ferment.
Rumors from good authority show
that the silver republicans, pops
and democrats will get together
and put a candidate in the field
or the state legislature. Mr..
Wells, of Brownsville, in CONVEX
sation with LIGHT reporter said
he would take no interest in this
particular fight.
Work at the pass is progressing
favorably. The old government
jetty has at last been located run
ming from the west end of Mus
tang Island and intersecting the
present jetty about 5000 feet from
the gulf end making an angle OF
about 1870 degrees on the gulf side.
The old jetty lies about a foot DO.
low the sand and in about ton feet
of water hence the difficulty OF it's
accurate location. This old jetty
will be blown out in few days
with dynamite and thus give the
current free scope to wash away
the bar down to clay, a depth OF
about 80 feet.

In the Hands of His Friends.

STEvENvILLE, Tex, June To-
From instructions being given in
counties from Brown to Nacog-
doches and from the Panhandle
to the gulf coast 1t now appears
that Evan Jones, president Of the
Farmers State Alliance, will be
one Of the nominees Of the popu-
list party. Mr.. Jones has also
been instructed for by divers coun-
ties for lieutenant governor. In a
personal interview with Mr.. Jones,
he says under no circumstances,
can he run for lieutenant governor,
principally for the reason that he
is not financially able to hold such
an office. But he has been so
urgently requested from all Sec
tions for railroad commissioner
that on that point he is In the
hands OF his friends.

The DelgadOs, American Citizens,
Want Redress for Brutal Injuries
Received
Washington. June ID J. c. Delga-
do and son, DIR. Jose Manuel Delgado,
American citizens of Cuban birth,
who were brutally assaulted by Span
ish troops, had an interview this
morning with Secretary Olney. They
have retained as counsel DIR. Rodri-
CUES, who was one of the attorneys
in the Maxine Mora case, and Con-
zado de Suesado, secretary of the
Cuban legation i'm the United States.
The complainants, the Delgados
told their story to Secretary o.
ney, called his attention to their
scars, and brought with them and
showed the broken mechete with
which a terrible cut had been in6ict-
ed on the face of the younger man,
and where a bullet had been taken
from his body. The interview lasted
twenty minutes.
DIR Rodrigues said after the inter
view that he had told his clients not
to discuss their case, and they
had promised to observe caution.
Most of the stories which have been
they had promised to observe caution.
Most of the stories of which have been
published about the assault on the
Delgados were far from the facts.
The attack on their plantation near
Dolores had been made in March,
1895. instead of the last of March, as
was understood by the public.
Their claim for indemnity and re-
dress from the Spanish government
has been filed with the state depart
ment since July last
The Delgados will remain in Wash
ington while the case is pending.

meeting today and the Kentucky
vote is counted in the Mckinley


vote is counted in the Mckinley
column, by the latter's managers.
Hanna, during the forenoon, re-
ceived the southern delegations.
There were no secret conferences
today, but representatives from
most of the states called before the
state delegations met for organi-
cation and reported how they
stood. There were many clubs ar
irving in the rain today.
CoLoRED MANS FRIEND.
Henry Cabot Lodge, Joseph
Marley, State Insurance Commits
sioner Carr and other main
workers were extremely active
this morning and yet are frank
in their statement that Mckinley
has clear majority. Senator
Lodge had conference with South
Carolina, Florida, Virginia and
New York colored men, and an
nounced that he had received
assurances from them Of their &C.
tive support for Reed, and pledge
of missionary work for today.
He said: "The colored south
ern delegates have been bad ly
treated by the Mckinley man.
ayers. They were promised very
great consideration and received
noue. A majority Of them have
declared for Reed"
THE VICE PREsIDENCY.
1t is generally admitted that the
large number OF viCs-presidential
candidates will necessitate adjourn
ment after the nomination OF the
presidential candidate and
consequent delay in the work OF
the convention.
The New York delegation has
given up all hopes OF securing a
favorable answer from Governor
Morton but will urge him, IL
Mckinley is nominated, to accept.
Meantime, however, rumor is busy
with the name OF j. Sloat Fassett,
OF New York, and mention Of his
name Is favorably received by the
western delegates.
A boom for Garrett A. Hobart Is
being pushed with great vigor this
morning and he will undoubtedly
prove q very formidable antagonist
tO many other men mentioned.
The Maine people have two can
didates, leaving out Of cousidera-
tion the movement in Dingley's
favor. Senator Frye and Governor
Cleaves announced their open sup
port this morning in friendly rival
ry and possibly the friends Of the
latter may succeed In obtaining
their support for him from the
west.
The Mckinley people have
busted themselves with two east
erners his morning, Cauncey M.
Depew and Warner Miller, both OF
New York. Depew will be accept
able to both New York factions,
but Miller would not. 1t is the
general view that the vice presi-
dents nomination shall go to the
east and hence the eastern candi-.
dates are more numerous than
those in the wost and south.
The republican national commit
tee has under consideration today
a resolution offered by Payne, of
Wisconsin, providing for a change
of the basis of representation in the
national convention. By vote of
81 to the committee decided it
inexpedient to make any recon-
mendation to the national conven-
ton regarding change in the
basis OF representation.
In the meeting of the New York
delegation this noon, Warner Mil
Ter moved to substitute Chauncey
NJ. Depew in place of 7. G. Platt
for chairman of the New York
delegation. A recess was taken
until 3 o'clock without the ques-
ton being decided.

Remarkable Creations of Luther Burbank,
the Botanical Wizard of Sonoma
County

SANTA ROSA, CAL, June 6.-W. A.
Burpee, a scotsman of Philadelphia, was
here to-day to procure some of Luther
Burbank's new creations in fruits and
flowers He visited the famous expert
mental grounds of Mr.. Burbank, and was
greatly astonished at some of the produc-
tions OF "The Wizard" Burpee secured
two of his latest creations, a new poppy
and golden mayberry.
The former is unique. 1t resembles the
Papava Ambrosum, but instead of having
the lining of crimson, with dark bIotches
near the base of the petals, as has the COM
mon variety, the new flower is lined with
pure silver, the crimson and black show
ing family through. The flower will be
named the "Silver Lining"
The giant mayberry is evolved from
wild 1ruit, the seeds of which came from
Japan. The berry resembles the raspberry
in shape, though several times as large.
1t has rich gold color. The flavor is an
Elusive one and cannot be described ex-
cept by saying that it is superlatively de-
licious Burpee has named his purchase
the Burbank"
Both these varieties will be propagated
and exhibited by Burpee at the next exhi-
bition of the Royal Horticultural Society
of London and the Societe National de
Horticulture at Paris. Burpee is mem
Der of both societies and expects to receive
an award of merit for each of these pro-
ductions, as he did last year for his dwarf
pea, Cupid. This plant is only hve inches
high and has snow white flowers. 1t is
now extensively grown IN California.

P. Fay (R.) against Homer PrindIe (Ind.)

the Superior Court, sitting in bank. The
votes of precincts 5, 6, Z, s and were
counted and resulted as follows: Prindle
800, Fay 376, Prindle's majority being 16.
Fay's attorneys objected to twenty-one
of Pr1ndle's votes being counted on ac-
count of being marked wrongly, and the

Fays ballots on the same score. This left
Fay and PrindIe a tie with 369 votes.
These ballots were submitted to the court,
who threw out eighteen of the Prindle bal
lots and sixteen of Fay's, thus giving Fay
the seat in the council by two majority.
The vote now stands Fay 379, Prindle 377.
The canvass of the precincts resulted in
the following changes: Fifth Precinct

Anlbueh on the Shore.
ASTORIA, Or, June 6.-Furtner trouble
is anticipated at points up the Columbia
River, two dispatches requesting protec-
tion having been received from Clifton by
Sheriff Hare. The first of these came from
J. W. and V. Cook and stated that Sam
Brown, while on the river fishing, had
been fired upon by persons in ambush on
the shore. Several bullets struck the boat.
but the occupants escaped unhurt. A
number of fishermen near Clifton desired
protection from the Sheriff.
The second dispatch was sent by fish
erman named Mario Sverdrup, who stated
that he also had been fired upon from the
shore and desired protection. the Sheriff
will start up the river tomorrow morning
for the scene of the trouble, accompanied
by posse.
The prolonged struggle between the fish
ermen and cannerymen is working great
hardshipS on residents along the Column
bia who look TO fishing for the support OF
their families. These men are not con-
nected with the Fishermen's Union and
have no grievances, except that they can
not go out on the river without risking
their lives.
