HERMANN is DEFEATED!
Thirty-fOur Ballots Taken to
Bring About This Result.

|
gressional convention of the Isl
, Oregon district is past and gone,
and with it went the political
ascendancy of Binger Hermann's
star. The fight was a long and
hard one but it finally prevailed.
The delegates and lobbyists be-
gan to gather as early as Sunday.
By Mondays trains most of the
delegates were on the ground, only
a few coming in on convention day.
The candidates were Hon. Binger
Hermann, Thos. H. Tongue, of
Washington county, Tilmon Ford,
of Marion, H. B. Miller, of Jose
+phine, and Warren Truitt,. of Polk.
The fight speedily settled itself into
fight of the field against Her
mann.
At a caucus held before the con-
vention it was determined by the
anti-Hermann forces to stand solid
against Hermann until break was
made. in Hermann's forces, and
this program was duly carried out.
The convention was called to
order at 8 3o'clock by Thos. Tongue,
and the first contest of the conven-
tion occurred in the temporary
organization of the house. The
antis nominated o. H. Irvine, of
Yamhill, and the Hermann followers
nominated J. H. McClung, of
Lane. A division of the house
showed 81 for Irvine and 4o for
McClung, and the ants organized
the house without further oppisi-
ton. The usual committees were
appointed and the convention took
recess of one half hour.
After recess the committees made
their reports which were adopted
without opposition, the temporary
organization hei1g made parma
nent.
Nominations for congress being
then in order the friends of the
candidates named above placed
their names before the convention.
On the first ballot the vote stood
Hermann SIS, Tongue 3S, Ford 1S,
Truitt II, Miller 10. This was
Hermann's high water mark.
From this he dropped gradually to
40 on the 9th ballot. This vote he
held, never going lower and some
times going as high as 4o until the
34th ballot when break was made
in his strength sufficient to nomi-
nate Thos. H. Tongue, of Wash
ington county, and the hard fight
for the congressional nomination
was over. Great jubilation ap-
peared among the opposition and
equal dependency among the
Hermannites.
The convention was good
natured, disorderly outfit. The
chair frequently appealed for order
which came not. Ballot box stuff
ing was marked part of the con-
vention, nearly one third of the
time there. being more votes cast
than there were voters in the con-
vention.
Considerable soreness prevails in
the Hermann camp, and it will
probably be not all gone by the
time election day rolls around. |
One of the amusing things of the
convention was the attempt of E. |
+. Mckinney to make speech in
favor of Ford. He had his speech
carefully written out and committed
to memory, but when he got fairly
started he forgot it like some awk-
ward school boy. Three times he
tried to repeat it, aud finally put
his manuscript in the hands of
friend to prompt him, but it was
useless. With wild grab and
stagger he gave it up and set down
amid the whoops and yells OF the
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1896-04-09

Contests for Dayis' Millions.

Butte, Mont, March 26.-The biggest of all the contests recently entered in the Davis will case was entered today by Mrs. Elizabeth A. Smith of California, a niece of the dead millionaire, Andrew J. Davis She also asks that the probate of the alleged forged will be revoked, but sets up as ground that the district court has lost jurisdiction and had improperly admitted the will to probate before its genuineness had been established, no eVl- dence having been offeredso on that point when the will was admitted, it's admfs- sion have been consented to be by the original contestants. Two other con tests were entered today, one by Calvin Davis of Sebastopol, Cal, and one by Harriet Wood of Springfield, Mass, brother and sister of the deceased
 The Butte heirs declare that the claims of the California woman, who pretends to be a widow of the dead millionaire, is a blackmailing scheme and that the onlS foundation for her story was that the first of her three husbands was named Aha DaViq

A DREAM DREAMED OVER.

The music was throbbing and pulsing: The flowers and the palms and the light In smooth, waxed floors were reflected That glorious gala night. With the fragrance of roses about her, In her dainty, pure white gown. She was, as he whispered to her, "The prettest girl in town.' She smiled and flushed and denied 1t, As a pretty girl must do, But by her hearts deep contentment She knew that he thought it true; And they danced the thrilling music O, life was rapture then When she was the prettieSt girl in town And he was the first of men! They parted with anguished sorrow; Time cleared the clouded sky; But at last nights ball she lived again In the charmed days gone by. His son and her daughter were dancing, The girl in d pure white gown, And she heard him say, as they passed her You're the prettest girl in town!'

PERMANENT ARBITRATION COURT

PERMANENT ARBITRATION COURT A Plan Was Considered by the Committee on Arbitration.
 New York, March 26.-A plan provid- ing for permanent international court of arbitration for the settlement of dis putes between civilized nations in gsner- al and between the United States and Great Britain in particular was consld- cred today by the committee on interna- tional arbitration. The plan was not given out for publication, for 1t is not yet considered mature. The meeting was held at the office of Edward G. Whitaker, No. 29 Broadway, president of the asso- citation. Correspondence had already been opened with the various bar asso- citations of the country, and favorable re- plies were read today from those of Maine, West Virginia, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Georgia, New Hampshire, Con- necticut, Missouri, District of Columbia, Iowa, Vermont and Michigan. The meeting went into executive session, and the plan, so far as it has at present progressed, was presented to the commit tee by the subcommittee appointed some time ago to consider the matter Be- fore the formal adoption of the plan it was submitted to President Cleveland in memorial from the association, but this will not be until arbitration com mittees of all the state bar associations of the country have passed upon it.
 President Whitaker, when asked what were the general features of the plan pro- posed, said Tt provides for the nam- Ing by the United States government and Great Britain of some of the highest judicial officers, who shall constitute a court for the adjudication of all diplo- matic differences that shall arise between the two nations. This court Is to be all ways in session in a legal sense. That is, it will always be ready to meet when ever called up by the joint action of the two governments.
 "The American members of the court are to be taken from the federal judi ciary. The English will, of course, make their chancellor member. It is possi- ble that we may recommend that Ger many and France shall be represented. That will depend to some extent on the attitude of these countries, and also of Great Britain. The object will be pri- marily to settle the disputes between the two countries but we anticipate that the advantages of the court will become so obvious to other nations that they will also seeks its benefits and submit their disputes to its decision rather than resort to war"

Tough Funeral Facilities.

JuuSe. .
 Nobody ever attempted to dispute that Hair-Trigger Jim was pre-eminently the boss of Rowling Success, the year-old gold camp. Whats the use of arguing, anyway? His sobriquet had been care fully earned by long and assiduous prac- tice with a pair of gleaning frontier re- volvers that had never known the line, Now I lay me down to sleep"
 In the hubbub, tussle and shove of the mining camp no one stopped to observe the absence of the customary undertaken until one pack trained in on a fine June morning. This professional processiona- tor put out shingle on which appeared:

 dun up Neate,
 and death assumed new aspect. But now that the camp was beatified by his presence there seemed absolutely no use for him. Rowling Success had never be- fore been so sanitary.
 Hair-Trigger Jim felt very friendly to- wards the "stiff-yanker," and would have been delighted to provide business for him. However, no one offended James; hence there were no calls for collins,
 One morning Jim got out of his bunk on the wrong side. Waxing meditative, he murmured: "No stiff yit fur Will liam" Before noon a row had been scraped up. There was a sharp crack in one of the least-salvationed saloons of
  ing quite convalescent.
 But the man who was shot fingered bloodily on and a week proved that he was going to get well. Every true citizen felt a true whisky glass commiseratlon for the undertaken; Jim more than any. When he saw his friend he said:
 civilian me an the boys is dang sorry we can't russle a stiff. Our funereel fa- cilities is dog-dern turf. I did the best 1 could fur we. an tain't no fault uv mine thet unobligin puddin' wouldn't die. Howsumever, there's bin sum stealth go- in on uv late, an mebbe we'll git man fur breakfas' yft.'
 That night thief was caught operat- ing. and every self-cocking expert In town started in hot pursuit Jim's gun finally fetched the culprit--blew him out at one puff.

Married by Proxy in Italy.

New York World.
 Marie Alonzo arrived on the steamship Elysia from Geneva few days ago. She left her father and mother in Cosenza Italy. Marie is only 16 years old. On the passenger list she did not appear as Marie Alonzo, but as Mime. Marie Congo. Antonio Congo, a big musician, appeared at Ellis island and claimed Marie as his lawful bride. He Is twelve years older than she.
 How can that be-" inquired the chair man of the board of special inquiry, when you say you have not been in Italy for four years?"
 Then Antonio replied that when he left Cosenza he was already betrothed to Marie, who was only 12 years old. Her father and mother agreed to the match. Six months ago the musician had saved enough money to send prepaid passage ticket to his sweetheart. In order that she might travel as married woman he sent over a power of attorney for his brother Vincenzo to stand up and imper- senate him in a marriage ceremony by proxy.
 The parish priest in Cosenza refused to sanction such a marriage, but the mayor of the city-performed the ceremony. The board of inquiry told Congo that such a marriage would not be recognized in America and that if he did not marry Marie over again she would have to go back to Italy.
 . Marie was willing to be married in America and an immigrant inspector took the couple to the city hall, where a fiawless knot was tied by an alderman in the marriage bureau

WRECK ON THE SOUTHERN.
No Passengers Were Badly Injured-A
 Peculiar Accident.


 Savannah, Ga., March 26-A Morning News special from Eastman, Ga, says: Southbouhd Yestibule train No. IA of the Southern railway was derailed here at o'clock this morning. The accident was caused by a mail pouch thrown from the train, striking and breaking a switch stand, causing the switch to open and the train to take the siding, except the en- zine and mail car, which stuck to the main line. This train is run on a fast schedule, making no stops between Ma con and Jessup, and had a down grade Of nearly a mile before reaching the switch. All the cars except the last Pullman were derailed. The first-class coach turned partially over and the smoking car com pletely over. Conductor Edison was the most seriously injured person in the wreck. Pullman Conductor Wells was shaken up; Mrs. John Roy of Chattanoo- ga, Tenn, had a hand bruised, and Miss Edith Miller of Warren, O., had an el- bow bruised Two freight cars standing on the siding were turned over and the trucks knocked from under them, break ing down a telegraph pole and grounding the wires. A pair of wheels from under one of these cars rolled up the street 15O feet lodging against a store. Most of the wrecked cars were at the crossing or Fourth and Railroad avenues, blocking the former street most of the day.
 How so many passengers escaped un- hurt is remarkable.

Will IJse Wine as Usual.

Philadelphia, March 26-Charles H. Cramp, president of the William Cramp & Sons Ship and Engine Building com pany, the builders of the battleship Iowa, stated today that he thought wine would be used in christening the vessel when she shall be launched on Saturday. MT. Cramps remarks were brought out by the action of the residents of Moulton, la, in adopting resolutions in which they request Governor Drake to cause his daughter Mary, who will christen the ship, to use water instead of wine. MT. Cramp further said: "We furnish the bottle, and the person invited to do the christening usually accepts it and breaks il as directed. We have frequently been pettioned by representatives of temper ance organizations to use bottle of wa ter instead of wine, but the custom has been to use wine, and we have discovered no good reason to change 1t. As a mat ter of fact however, there is usuually more disgust over the spilling of the wine used at the launching of ship among people who are not total abstain CTS than among those who are. The for mer think it is a useless waste of wine, when water would answer the purpose S well D

SWEET POTATO WHISKY.
If Found Paying the Huber May Become
 Valuable Product.

Augusta (Ga) Chronicle.
 J. w. Crow has small bottle or sweet potato whisky that is a very interesting commodity in this section of the country, and not a familiar one to the world at large The liquid is crude and white, as all new whisky is, but it is the genuine old stuff and not counterfeit. Among the homeseekers who have been to this section lately was Mr. Hansburg, Ger man. who is skilled in the distillation of spirits. When he saw how abundantly sweet potatoes were raised in this sec- tion of the country it occurred to him that he could distill whisky from them. Several bushels of sweet potatoes were shipped to him, and soon Mike Brown re- ceived half gallon of sweet potato whisky
 As result of the success of the scheme arrangements are being made to distlli the liuuor for commercial purposes. IT the residue can be converted into starch the sweet potato will soon become one of the most valuable products of south arp soil
