Permanent Organization was effected
and the permanent chairman. Senator

The report OF the committee on Gre

the afternoon session. This leaves the
battle royal over the platform and the
nomination OF candidates for tomor-
row. 1t is probable the platform
would have been disposed Of tonight
had Il not been the night session
would have interfered with the NAM
moth Mckinley parade of marching
clubs previously arranged for tonight.
Nothing could have been in more
striking contrast with the dun. feature
less session OF yesterday. than the bril-
laint, animated and enthusiastic ses-
sion OF today. The vast hall was pack
ed to its utmost capacity with thous-
ands OF spectators. keyed to the high

them tonight that they win effect a
combination that win destroy Morton's
chances. Evans adherents are not out

delegation that Is adverse 10 Platt and
Morton are working energetically to-
night. The confidence Of the Platt men
tonight is. however a trifie discourage

Platt viii never stand second beat

race for yice-president unless he is pos

him. Mark Hanna, McKinley's man
ager. still retains his silence as 70
which side Of the controversy he win
endorse, claiming that until mis- can
didate receives the nomination 1t
would be both unwise and unpolitic for
him 10 do so.
Miller asserts that he viii not under
any circumstances aid Platt, and PIett
himself believes this and finds no fault
with Hanna's course. seeing that the
Miller people would have uphoIders In
New York state. but the Quay-Lodge-
Alder-Platt combination is very strong
tonight and their probabilities Of win
ming seem bright.

BIG DAMAGE SUIT.

San Francisco. June 1.-THE Rev.
H. F, Marshall. who was employed
by the Call several months prior TO
last April filed complaint against
John D, spreckles today demanding
$4,000 damages for assault and bat
terry.
The young clergyman recltes in his
complaint that ION the 14th of April
the defendant struck and beat him on
the face. breaking his teeth and bruis-
ing, cutting, and breaking the skin Of
his face, and then proceeded to knock
the plaintiff down and kick him.
1t is said the reason for the assault
by spreckles was that Marshall at
tempted to sell out the A. P. A. to
spreckles and made a blackmailing de-
mand upon him.

A GOOD RIDDANCE.

St Louis. June 1.-THE Colorado
delegation had meeting tonight and
decided in positive terms to leave the
convention in body upon the adop-
ton of a platform containing a decla-
ration for the gold standard. 1t has
frequently been announced that they
would pursue this course. but there
has really been more or less doubt up
to tonight that they would do so, one or
two members Of the delegation being in
doubt as to the wisdom Of this course
The decision TO go out of the conven-
ton was unanimous.
The Idaho delegation as a body. a
majority of the Utah and Nevada dele
cations. and part of the Montana and
North Carolina delegations will go out
with the Colorado men.

GOOD BYE. SILVER.

st. Louis, June 17.-At the afternoon
session the first test of strength be-
tween the Mckinley followers and
those OF Reed. Allison. Quay and Nor
ton came. and although the issue pre-
sented was not as strong as McKin-
ley. It demonstrated to the satisfac-
ton OF all candidates that Mckinley
has clear majority Of over 100 in the
convention. The question was the
adoption OF the report of the commit
tee on credentials which ratified the
action of the national committee in
giving almost all OF the 15S contested
seats to the Mckinley interest, and de-
cided the Texas contest in favor OF the
Grant (MeKinley) delegates, and that
OF Delaware in favor of the Higgins
delegates.
While the convention was proceeding
with its work a dramatic scene was
being enacted in the committee on res
olutions. A group of western silver
men. headed by Senator Teller, of Col
orado. said to their colleagues, when
the gold plank in the platform was
adopted by vote of forty to ten, that
they had reached the parting Of ways
and nothing remained but for them to
bolt the convention. 1t was thought
there would be violent recriminations
and wild words of denunciation when
the final announcement of the break
came. but instead It was the parting
of old friends in sorrow, not in anger.
The silver men felt themselves swept
on by an irresistible fate and with pro-
testations Of regret, they cast the die.
The scene was most affecting one.
The gold men in the committee were
filled with compassion, and there was
not a dry eye in the room while Sen
ator Teller spoke. Senator Dubois,
Senator Cannon. and Delegate Mott
broke down completely and wept like
children, Senator Lodge, who replied
spoke words OF tender sympathy, as
II the occasion was some great per
sonal bereavement. He euolgizer Sen
ator Teller and his colleagues, but de-
clared that the representatives of his
party could not falter on that account
on the money question.

AT THE cANNERIEs.
Large Number Of Fish Being Received
and Packed

Operations are in full blast at sever
al OF the canneries In the city. and
salmon are coming in such quantities
that some OF the packers are unable 20
handle their entire receipts, dividing
the surplus with other establishments.
Above Tongue Point and on the middle
river the gillnet returns are 80 heavy
that additional launches and other
craft have been sent from below TO
help convey the catch from the various
stations. A fleet OF boats is making
regular drifts In Bakers Bay with ex-
cellent results. while the seine on sand
Island Is being operated with success.
and the traps are also becoming quite
fruitful. One OF the local canneries re-
ceived ten tons OF fish from above yes
terday; another is getting from twenty
to thirty tons daily from the same
source. which with the receipts from
below show the scale on which packing
is being carried on in our midst. At
George & Barker's cannery workmen
were buslly engaged In putting into
cans nne specimens Of the chinook
tribe brought In during the morning.
Hanthorn's force was hard at work

ployed In making cans for the product,

Grating on a large scale. host OF can

Equal activity was noticed at Ell

While the traps are just now becoming
an important agent In the business,
the large majority OF the fish being
now canned are turned in by gill nets
Several other canneries are making
active preparations about their places
to begin operations within a day or
two. and daily a few boats from each
cannery are being added TO the list al

THE HOP CROP,


Mr.. ]. c. Bauer, San Francisco, and
MIR. VIM. Faber. of Albany. are in the
city visiting Mr.. John Kopp- Both
gentlemen are hop merchants, and
have made careful investigation Of
Oregons growing crops. They report
that the fields in the Willamette Val
ley are looking well and that while the
number of plants is less than in former
years. the average crop will probably
be secured owing to the exceptionally
fine condition of the vines.
If this is fair estimate of the hop
crop in other parts of oregon and
Washington. growers can look for bet
ter results this year than they have
attained for several seasons past.

THE SECOND PLACE.

St. Louis, June 1.-THE vice-presi-
dental situation bids fair to take the
convention out of the featureless rut
which has so far marked its session
and it is tonight as pretty a three
cornered fight as has been seen in a
long while, and although Platt's ad-
herents claim that III Morton wants
it he can have It," it is nevertheless
patent that Reed would be the candi-
date If his consent to make the race
was obtained.
The New Jersey delegation, with
their candidate. Garret A. Hobart. are
campaigning aggressively for him and
have obtained the support Of the Miller
element. Nor is this latter element
