WIRES ARE EXTENDED
 TO THE NORTH
WESTERN UNION COMPANY IN
 CONTROL OF VICTORIA.
A Final Test of the New System Suc- cessfully Made-It Is Now in
 Operation.

The new northern extension of the Western Union telegraphic system from Seattle to Victoria has been completed The final test of the wires and cables has been made and everything is in readi- ness for immediate operation.
 The completion of this northern line means better facilities, as the circuit means the death to a long practiced mo- nopoly by the Canadian Company and the speedy reduction of the exorbitant tariff of transmission which has been dictated and enforced by the company since its institution. Although the Western Union line has only been in operation since the commencement of the present week the standard price of telegraphic communica- tion from this city to all the points tra- versed by the new lines has been reduced from 75 cents to 60 cents, with a promise of further reduction in the near future. In addition to this decrease of public tax for the use of the new lines the facilities for transmission afforded by means of a perfect system of copper wires and im- proved cables will be greatly increased anu will prove invaluable to patrons of the city and the State generally.
 The new line extends from Seattle to Victoria, including in its circuit Port Blakely, Port Gamble, Port Townsend and Port Angeles. The lines are now be- ing further extended, and when completed New Whatcom and New Westminster.
 To accommodate the demands on the new system offices will be established at all the above mentioned points, thus com pletely controlling the entire sections tra- versed.
 The extension of this northern line re- quired the construction of eight separate cables, the longest being eight miles, and copper wire. The total cost of the entire circuit has been estimated at $100,000.

COLL ECTED POLL TAX
 FROM HIS W0RKMEN
SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST CON-
 TRACTOR BUCHANAN.
The Matter Is Now Being Investi- gated by the Grand Jury and
 Labor Commissioner.

A matter of no small importance Is be- ing considered by the Grand Jury. It is a charge that the Buckman Contracting Company has been collecting poll tax from it's workmen without authority of law or the sanction of the Assessor The case was called to the attention of Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald by two of the employees of the company named Both men have sworn to affidavits set ting forth these facts. Harry Biggs states that he was a teamster in the service of the Buckman Contracting Company and resided at Buckmans S camp at IA Guerrero street. He has worked for these people since last No vember. quitting on June l. In settling with his employers he was given time checks for SIS 09 which was S2 less than was due him, after deducting board. He demanded the s2 and was told by Rodgers, the bookkeeper, that the mon ey had been withheld to cover his poll tax for the city and county of San Francisco. Biggs demanded the formal receipt, such as is always given by the Assessor, but was told that there were no receipts.
 Riggs was not satisfied, so he went to street and again asked for the receipt for the poll tax that had been withheld from his pay, After some talk. in he had none of the regular receipts, Biggs was given a receipt which read: san Francisco, June 6, 1S9S Received from Harry Biggs two dollars. Account poll tax deducted. Buckman Contract ing Company" Biggs took the case to the Commissioner, and in making his statement said: "I know of my person al knowledge that all of the men work ing for the Buckman Contracting Com pany on the first day of March. and who were paid subsequently,, had this same amount deducted from their wages and were not given the official re- ceipts for the same. In many instances this amount of two dollars was all or nearly all that the laborers had due them at the time of payment"
 Deputy Green at once called upon the Tax Collector and was told that no authority had been given to Buckman or any of the company to collect poll tax nor had any receipts been given to them. He asserted that the office had trouble with these same people last year for the same offense. MT. Green says that to-day he will make an inves- tigation of the Buckman camp and ex- anime the books of the concern. He has learned that there are about no men working in this camp and that Buckman has collected poll tax from all of the men. He also made collec- tions at the camp in Marin county where about 100 men are working. Dep uty c. L. Dam has laid the matter be- fore the Grand Jury.

The Grand Jury.

The Grand Jury met yesterday and considered the building of the Hall of Justice. They had the members of the Buildings Committee of the Board of Su- pervisors up as witnesses, and also Frank Shea, the architect. MT. Britt of the committee was examined. and he told all he knew about the delay. MT. Rivers inc committee were moi calIad as tba investigation was not concluded. The superintendent of the work was also called, and the contractors were on hand, but the jury did not get very far into the case, so most of the witnesses will have to call again. The excuse offered was that the firm of contractors has sunk lot of money in a terra cotta plant to supply that part of the material and that they want to get the plant well started before they proceed.

The matter has received attention at Washington as shown by the following letter.

Judge Cady got the floor and moved

who had supported Governor Black,
said: "On behalf of Governor Black
and his friends, I say that they stand
by Theodore Roosevelt, as he stood by
the country"

nous, and at 7:46 o'clock the conyen-
ton took a recess until p. m.
The night session was not called to
order until 9:45 The Chairman an
nounced that the platform was ready
and General Woodford took the plat
form and read the resolution. The
reading was frequently interspersed
with applause, and when finished the
platform was adopted unanimously.
THE PLATFORM.
After praising the splendid heroism
of the army and navy the platform
says:
I'VE have abiding confidence that the
President will conclude this peace upon
terms that will satisfy the conscience,
the judgment and the high purpose OF
| the American people We realize that
when the necessities of war compelled
| our nation to destroy Spanish author
| ity in the Antilles and Philippines, we
assumed solemn duties and obligations,
| alike to the people Of the island we
| conquered and to the civilized world
| We cannot turn these islands back to
| Spain. We cannot leave them, un-
armed for defense and untried in state
| craft, to the horrors Of domestic strife
or to partition among European Pow
| ers. We have assumed the RESPONSE
bilities of victory, and wherever our
| flag has gone the liberty, the humanity
| and the civilization which that flag
| embodies must remain and abide for
ever The Republican party has been
| the party of brave conservatism and
of triumphant faith in the nationality
| of this people, and know that the Pres
| ident and statesmen and voters of the
| Republican party will meet these is
sues Of the future as gravely and tri-
| umphantly as we have met the issues
of the past
The platform being adopted, the con-
vention speedily made the nomina-
tions. All but Davies were nominated
| by acclamation.
The following committee was ap-
| pointed to be Advisory Board for the
| State Committee: Thomas G. Plat,
Chauncey M. Depew, Frank Hiscock,
| Edward Lauterbach and Frank s..
Witherbee.
| The old eagle emblem was readopted
for the party, and the convention ad-
| journed sine die.
