The fusion convention of the three
parties called to meet in Columbia
Hall, adjourned to Unity Church, it
being reported that the hall, from de-
cay of its foundation, had become I'M
safe for accommodation of large as
semblages.
At 1O:45 A. NJ. Chairman Wilson
called the convention to order in the
latter place, and on motion, Senator
Il. j. Miller was selected for temporary
chairman, and Frank White and Gill
bert Miller were elected Secretaries.
1t being evident that that the
cramped quarters in the church
would seriously interfere with the
speedy aud efficient transaction of
business, Il motion was made, after
appointment Of committees, that the
afternoon session be held in Olympia
Theatcr, use of which had been do
mated for the purpose.
The convention met in the theater
at 30 z. NJ.
The reports of the committee on
Credentials and Permanent Organiza-
ton and Order of Business were
adopted, the latter making the tenn
porary organization permanent.
Mr.. Eckert, of the committee on
resolutions reported the following
platform, which was adopted amidst
great enthusiasm:
First, we heartily concur in the political
principles enanciated in the joint plat
form of our State Convention recently
held in Ellensburg, as follows:
"We demand the reestablished OF
bimetallism by return of the free and I'M
limited coinage of the gold and silver
into money at the present legal ratio OF
l6 To l. without waiting for the action OF
any other nation.
1--WE demand that our money shall be
issued by the government only, without
the Intervention OF banks of issue, as full

was extremely doubtful of any promises
Barroll might make, and doubtful of
his authority to make agreements of
any kind, and concluded by saving
that his former vote in the Council
was cast under a misrepresentation. a
colloquy been Murphy and Barroll en-
sued, in which the former aimed to
pin Barroll down to his promises in
May.
Wilson stated the position of the
minority ut the May meetings and he
believed then, and had no occasion to
change his belief now that Barroll was
i'll no position to carry out any of his
promises.
Barroll said that further cores
pondencc with the bond holders was
useless ii parting of the ways had
been reache d, and he did not believe
his firm could get majority of them
to consent to the reduction of interest
asked. He acknowledged that he had
made Il m istake of judgment before as
to what his firm could do. He fin.
is he'd by saying that courtesy de-
manded an answer to his questions.
Murphy asked what right Harris &
Co. had to doubt that Olympia would
make levy for bond interest.
Barroll said he had heard that if
three per cent. were not agree to Olym-
pia would never levy another dollar for
bond interest.
He was assured by the Mayor and
Others that the levy had never been
discussed and besides the law COM
PEELED the levy.
OConnor said that Barroli had been
emphatic in saying he could influence
Harris Il Co. to take his view of the
question. O'Connor had voted in ac-
cordance with Barrolls request in
May. He said he was opposed to
giving Barroll an answer to his ques.
ton without an opportunity to con-
suit his constituents; it was too grave
matter to be acted on hastily.
Mari endorsed O'Connor. He said
he did not believe any formal action
OF the Council was necessary and it
would be time enough when the levy
was made.
Ex-Mayor Byrne and ex-Council-
man Scotield each addressed the
Council, endorsing the views of the
members, and advised against recog.
nizing Barroll in any capacity.
Mayor Lane did not entirely agree
with the views expressed. He thought
the Council should continue to deal
with Harris & Co. and seek through
them the object sought. He believed
Barroll was sincere at the May meet
ings, and concluded by hopeing the
Council would get the reduction.
Mr.. Barroll again submitted his
questions to the Council and asked
that they be answered formally. Muir
ply moved that it be the sense of the
Council that Olympia cannot pay
more than 3per cent. bond interest,
but later withdrew the motion on the
advice of the City Attorney.
Barroll again Intercepted the Coun-
Gil as to whether they intended to levy
the bond interest tax this year.
Doherty resented his question as an
impcrtinence.
Finally a motion to adjourn was
made, and Mr.. Barroll received no an
swer to his question nor did he in any
measure accomplish the object OF his
meeting with the Council. An adj
Journmcnt was taken without action.

His Remarkable Speech.

London. Dec. Sir Edmund Mon
sons remarkable speech in Paris last
evening has created a sensation here.
Most of the papers regard II as an I'M
fortunate indiscretion. pointing but
that the American ambassadors. whom
he referred to. despite their leanings to
the new diplomacy. would never have
addressed such a warning to Great
Britain.
The Times. which is almost alone in
expressing approval of Sir Edmund
Monson's ~utterances. goes so far as to
regret that he did not add to his ex-
cellent speech an explicit statement OF
the fact that the principle of the FASH
oda expedition will govern Bahr-el-
Ghazal basin.
The Daily News, which puts the mat
ter pithily. says: Sir Edmund Mon
sons speech was either a great indis-
erection or a deliberate move in the dip
lomatic game. II IL was the former, the
situation will become graver. IL II was
the latter, the situation is already
grave than II seems"
There Is little doubt that the speech
will be deeply resented In France. espe-
cially as II was evidently carefully pre-
pared and was read in the delivery.

gether i'm the speakers room to-day talk
ing over general plans for the session.
There is no purpose to fix upon any ex-
act programme except TO. give the appro-
~priation bills the right of way. Mr.. Hen
derson expressed his personal view that
there will he little or no general legisla-
ton at this session, except, perhaps.
some action regarding the permaIHA -
peace footing of the army. He says the
peace treaty is not likely to be advanced
TO a stage where the house will be called

lating to our new possessions.

from the channel by a diver. The dead
are: Sergeant Morris McGrath. Hiram
Vaughan. Private Brennan. diver: Mr..
Ryan, citizen. The men were engaged In
carting the mine from shore to the inte-
rior OF the island to place IL with other
implements OF the same nature which
have been taken there since the wal
ended.
The three men. Vaughan. Brennan and
Ryan. had placed the mine on the cart
and started to take IL to the place where
the other ammunition was stored. The
road along which they passed was un-
usually smooth. having been constructed
with a view to the necessity of care In
transporting explosive material. Suddenly.
and without warning. the mine burst.
The horse and cart and the three men
were blown to fragments. Sergeant Nc
Grath was standing fully 20 feet away.
He was instantly killed by the concus-
sion. His body does not bear a mark Of
any sort.
a careful search was begun by Lieutenant
Raymond. who had charge of removing
the mine. but not a fragment OF men or
clothing could be found. Lieutenant Ray
mond says that the since the order was
issued from Washington hundreds Of
mines have been handled in the same
way as this and transported over the
same road.
Ryan was a civilian assisting I'm the
WORK. Vaughan was a member of the en-
gineer's corps. He had only two more
weeks to serve. when he expected to be
transferred to a naval college to take a
course In naval construction. Sergeant
McGrath was the keeper Of the island.

Raleigh In Come Home.

New York. Dec. Ga dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: Secretary
Long has cabled orders to Rear Admiral
Dewey to send the cruiser Raleigh to the
United States. No vessel will be assigned
to relieve the Raleigh. IL being the opin-
ion of the officials that with the addition
of the battleships and the gunboat York
town, Rear Admiral Dewey will have an
ample force at his disposal. This order is
significant as indicating the belief of the
authorities that there is now no danger
of trouble with Germany over the Philip
pines. On account of the Raleigh's small
steaming radius. II will be impossible to
cross the Pacific and she will return to
the United States via the Mediterranean.

one which did not represent its value
at all. Right now 1900 worth OF re-
pairs were needed on the building TO
put IL In proper shape. III the matter
could be arranged he would rather see
the city donate the amount of it's H.
cense to the owner than to see any
change made in the building. At the
same time the city should collect every
cent which was due to IL from the pres
ent lessees.
IL is not probable that the majority
Of this community feels the same pa
ternsl interest in the welfare OF the
opera house that moves Mr.. Wadsworth.
When this question OF wiping out that
building as a place of public anus
ment first arose-some time during the
summer-a v of the city was
made for the purpose of ascertaining
whether anyone desired TO invest any
money to keep 1t going. That canvass
was "A failure. Al the same time the
Standard representative made a canvass
among the business men of the city for
the purpose of learning their sentiment
on the subject. The impression gained
was one OF absolute indifference. IL
had been a bad investment n as such
IL was a matter 10 be decided by the
owners alone. whether they should CON
tinue IL as an opera house or turn ~
into a fat. a warehouse. a livery stable
or a cold storage plant. Many felt
that a new opera house at a much
smaller price. in possibly & better To-
cation and a building which would find
a greater variety of use would be pref
cradle 10 the present building. There ~
at the present time not a public hall in
the city. not a hall which could be con-
veniently used for a large ball or for a
public reception. There Is need OF such
a building and the conversion OF the
onAra house IN other pnrnOseS would
almost Immediately force the erection
OF such a structure and hat would add
another 20 the list of buildings OF which
the citizens feel proud.

A REMARKABLE STORY.
Alleged Detectives Accuse Riordan of
Having knowledge of the MUIR
derer of DAILY.

Foreman Riordan of the Northern
Pacific work train came to police head
quarters last night and told the officers
a very remarkable story. Riordan in
addition to being foreman of the work
train conducts a boarding house for
railroad employees near the Northern
Pacific station. He told the police that
he was on his way up town last evening
and stopped in to Reichle's saloon. on
Arizona street. to get a drink. He had
only been i'm the saloon a few minutes
when five men gathered about him.
They told him they were detectives
who a been brought here to work on
the DAILY murder and sal they didn't
mind telling him that they were aware
of the fact hat one of the murderers,
after leaving the election booth, went
straight to his (Riordan's) boarding
house. They said they knew Riordan
was aware of the present whereabouts
of the man and offered him 81, 500 to tell
them where he could be found. Rior-
a said he told them they had made a
mistake. and they then flashed draw
ings of his boarding rouse on him,
showing to the minutest detail every
door. window, room and piece of fur
nfture in the house to convince him
they were genuine. but as he knew alb
solutely nothing about the case he could
not e%nlighten them and again told them
nt Woulu hdNt W httiiIt titlI olltI.
Apparently reaching the conclusion.
Riordan said, hat persuasion was of
no avail, the alleged detectives at
tempted TO brighten him n one, say
ing he was a city detective. told him
that unless he told what he knew and
revealed the hiding place OF the MUIR
derer he would be compelled to arrest
him. He demanded to be shown the
Ulcers badge Of authority. he said. and
the fellow exhibited some kim OF a
badge. Riordan knew IL was not the
badge of a city officer and turned and
left the crowd of detectives and pro-
ceeded to headquarters to report the
incident.
The police are of the opinion. II Rior-
a was not romancing. and he bears
a good reputation. that a very choice
collection of lunatics has been turned
loose in the community. They will in
vestigate h affair.
