Cleveland Endorsed Except as
to His Attitude Toward
Silver.
NO COMPROMISE OF FACTIONS.
The American Protective Association
Denounced in the Party.
Platform.

RENO, NEv., June 10.-The mass con-
vention of the "straight-out" wing of the
Democratic party in Nevada was called to
order by Joseph R. Ryan, chairman of the
State Central Committee. The attend
ance was quite large. DR.. A. Gibson of
Reno was chosen temporary chairman.
Com mmittees on permanent organization,
platform and resolutions were selected,
and a recess taken.
DR.. Gibson sent a communication to the
committee of permanent organization
declining the permanent craftsmanship
and S. S. Sears was given that position.
When the convention reassembled re-
ports of committees were received and
adopted. The platform indorsed Cleve-
lands administration with exception
OF his financial policy; commends
his course on the tariff and the
Monroe doctrine; declares for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for
the cooperation or permission of any
foreign power or potentate; advocates
home rule for Nevada; denounces the
American Protective Association; favors
the calling of a constitutional convention;
favors the election of United States Sena-
tors by direct vote of the people; and in
structs delegates to use all honorable
means to secure platform favorable to
silver at the established ratio and the
nomination of candidates favorable to free
coinage.
The following delegates to Chicago were
elected: Theodore Winters of Washoe,
Major J. H. Dennis of Reno, Ii. L. Wer-
theimer of Phoebe, DR.. A. Gibson of Reno,
P c. Webber of Ely, Allen Fisher of
Wells. Alternates-F. Lennon, S. NJ.
Henley, A. E. Boucher. J. H. Crum, G. H.
E. Hardin, Harry McDuffie. Presidential
electors-J. R. Ryan, r. NJ. Clarke and
George Russell. Alternates-J. f. Angel,
w. G. Thompson and Matt Rheim.
Nothing was said in the convention
about any compromise with the Keating
faction. There was a slight sprinkling of
the opposition element, but when it en-
deavored to make its presence felt it was
summarily sat down upon by the straight
outs" With the exception of slight
squabble over the permanent chairman
ship the gathering was harmonious. The
nomination of a State ticket was passed
and the matter left in the hands of the
State Central Committee.
General R. W. Clake, who was defeated
for delegate to the National Convention
and afterward elected as a Presidential
elector, sent communication to the State
Central Committee tonight declining to
allow his name to be used on the ticket.
There are two sets of delegates to the
National Convention from Nevada and
there promises to be hot fight as to which
will be seated.

Attack Upon CHthotictsnt Creates Dis
cord In the Congress.
PORTLAND, Or, June 10. Quite a
breeze was raised in the Oregon Women's
Congress to-day. Mrs. General Thorpe ad-
dressed the convention on "Woman in A.
P. A. Work" Her talk was received in
much the same way as would the hurting
of bombshell into the hall. The speak
er's sentiments did not accord with the
feelings OF some of her hearers, and while
portions of her remarks were approved, a
wholesale denunciation of Catholicism and
Catholics stirred up row among the tair
listeners. In portion of her paper Mrs.
Thorpe stated that Archbishop Ireland had
declared war against the public schools.
This statement was resented, and for a
time the president had difficulty in
smoothing matters over,
Rev. Mr.. Elliott replied to some of the
statements in his remarks on women
Philanthrophies."
The attendance at the congress has
steadily increased. Susan B. Anthony
predicts that one result of this convention
will be the admission of Oregon women to
suffrage by the next election.

Immense Ledge Of Quartz in the Nesque-
shinsky District.
SEATTLE, CAL, June 10.-The steam
ship Al-Ki, which arrived IN port at 3
O'Clock this morning from Juneau, brought
information of the discovery in the Mosque
shinsky Bay district by Captain Cowden
and Mrs. w. F. Turner of Sitka of solid
ledge of quartz 600 feet wide and over 5000
feet long. No assay has been made, or if
there has, it has been kept a secret. 7.
Haley, an extensive mine-owner of Alaska,
in discussing the discovery, said that in
comparison with this vein, when it was
fully traced, the great Ireadwell ledge
would have the appearance of being but a
mere stringer; that the indications were
that it would supply 500-stamp mill for
fifty years.

Santa Rosn accident.

SANTA ROSA, CAL. June 10.-A horri-
rible accident that occurred here this even
ing will probably cost James Kelly his life.
Kelly was driving moving machine, to
which was attached a pair OF spirited
horses. The team got beyond his control
and dashed madly across large held.
The unfortunate driver, in attempting to
regain control of the horses, was thrown
from his insecure seat in front of the
rapidly moving blades of the moving ma
chine Both of his wrists were broken and
he was injured internally by the heels of
the horses. His scalp was laid open by the
sharp blades of the machine.

PORTLAND, Or, June 10.-No further
reports OF riots among the Columbia River
fishermen were received up to this after
noon. Upon the assurances that until
conditions warrant it' the militia will
not act, it Is presumed that there is no
immediate prospect of the Oregon National
Guard being ordered to embark. Cover
nor Lord this evening said 70 CALL cor
respondent that he would send no troops
to the scene of the tishermen's trouble
until the civil authorities assured him that
they were unable to cope with the situa-
ton. He would not under other condi-
tions enforce martial law.

WOODLAND. CAL, June 10.-District
Attorney Hopkins returned from Capay
this evening, after investigating the MUIR
der of aged R. L. Maxwell. Tomorrow
he will send warrants to the valley for the
arrest of a lad named Mcmillan, who
claimed to have shot Maxwell accident
ally.
From the facts learned, the District At
torney is of the opinion that young Nc
MILAN went to the old wood-chopper' s
cabin to steal a rifle. Maxwell unex-
pectedlY came to the cabin and discovered
the boy, who then opened fire, blowing
out the old. mans brains. Young Nc
MILAN bears a bad reputation IN the COM
munity in which he resides, having been
detected in many mischieyous acts.
Owing to his extreme youth District At
torney Hopkins will probably send him
to reform school, instead OF peniten-
tiary.

EUREKA, CAL, June 10.-In the suit of
S. M. Buck vs. the city of Eureka jury
to-day allowed the plaintiff $4700 as attor-

out of the city and eventually from the

$4250. The Supreme Court reversed the
decision, on the grounds that Buck was
City Attorney at the time. Suit was then
brought for services rendered after the ex-
