Port Townsend Wash, Oct. There Is

is wholly under water. She still rests
easily on tie beach. Divers made four

THE POLITICIAN.

Senator Quay's coming conference
with Gov. Mckinley bears out the
statement repeatedly made by your
correspondent that the rivalry for the
Repu blican nomination, SO far as the
principals were concerned, was entire
ly friendly. Needless to say that Re-
publicans generally are as much pleased
to know that this conference is to take
place as the Democrats are disappoint-
ed. There is every reason for the be-
lief that Senator Quay will be author
lied to speak for Senator Allison and
Speaker Reed. In this connection it
may be we'll to recall a remark made
when Congress first met by one of Coy.
McKinley's staunchest supporters. He
said: 81 believe that if Coy. Mckinley
is nominated he will ask Senator Quay
to take the Craftsmanship of the Ma
tional committee and manage his cam.
paign." The same gentleman said this
week that he thought Coy. Mckinley
had requested Senator Quay to come to
Canton in order that he might ask him
to manage his campaign.
Senator Sherman met Senator Cor
mans amendment to the Fortifcation
appropriation bill, providing Tor the
issue Of s1OO,OO0,OO0 in 3 per cent GER
tificates of Indebtedness, which he
characterized ss unexampled in the
history of the government, with
strong plea for the passage of the Ding
ley emergency tariff bill, which would
furnish the money needed by the gov
ernment without adding cent to the
public debt and without burden to any
of our people. Senator German was
merely making a gallery play, to en-
phasize his charge that the appropria-
tions made at this session of Congress
have been extravagant. He knew that
his amendment would not be adopted
or he never would have offered it. No
appropriation is too extrayagant to re-
ceive his support, provided that the
money isto be spent for the benefit of
his constituents, but he is always
ready to cut down elsewhere.
1t turns out that Mr.. Terrell, our
minister to Turkey, was not summon
ed to Washington to discuss Turkish
affairs, but to answer serious charges
against himself. He is charged with
being low and gross in his habits and
with habitually using profane and
vulgar language in the presence of
callers at the U. s. legation at Con-
stantinople, and as though that was
not enough he is charged with being
utterly incompetent by reason of his
lack of familiarity with the usages Of
polite society, to protect American in
terests in Turkey. These charges are
made by the American missionaries Of
all denominations, now in Turkey, and
were originally sent to Washington by
Rev. Henry o. Dwight, who failed to
get an interview with either Mr.. Cleye-
land or Secretary Olney on his first
yisit, being eurtly informed at the
