ALAMEDA, Feb. 15.-The Grand Jury has decided at last to investigate the Harbourne matter, and will visit Ala meda on Thursday for that purpose. Con- siderable wonder has been expressed that no official investigation has ever been made and no criminal charges filed in the face of the open statements made of forgery and rascality on the part of business of no one in particular to do this. and there is considerable curiosity as to how the Grand Jury came to take up the matter and who is responsible for it..
 Expert Davis. who has been at work on the library books for some time, will have completed his task by that time and his report will give the Grand Jury some basis for operations.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

he following is the platform adopted
~ the republican party Of Oregon in
'-'- onvention assembled, at Astoria,
Thuer- ay. April IA, 1898:
F' the republican voters Of the
state of oregon, in convention assem-
bled, congratulate the people of the
state as well as of the whole nation on
the unmistakable fact that the dark
cloud of adversely, which has hung like
pail over our fair land, has been dis
sipated. We recognize that the return
of prosperity is due to the restoration
of the republican party to power.
I'VE are in favor of the maintenance
OF the present gold standard; we are
unqualhedly opposed to the free coin
age of silver and to all other schemes
boxing to the debasement OF the cur
rency and the reputation of debt. We
believe that the best money in the
world is none too good to be assured
by the government to the laborer as
the fruit of his toll and to the farmer
as the price of his crop. We condemn
the continued agitation Of free silver
as calculated to jeopardise the prosper
ity of the country and to shake the
confidence of the people in the main
tenance of wise financial policy; we
particularly condemn as unpatriotic,
the efforts of the free silver agitators
to array class against class and sec
>tion against section; we declare that
the interests Of all classes and Of all
sections Of our country alike demand
a sound and stable financial system.
While we deplore the imminence of
war, we recognize that the country is
on the eve of a war. undertaken for
the vindication of the national honor
and the performance of a work dictated
by every instinct of humanity; we de-
clare that the administration Is en-
titled In this conflict to the confidence
and support of the entire people.
I'VE are firmly attached to the prin-
ciples Of the federal constitution; we
recognize that representative govern
ment is one of these principles, and we
are opposed to any change In law or
constitution which will abrogate this
time-honored principle.
I'VE are in favor of retrenchment
and reform in state and county mat
ters.
1--WE demand strict economy In pub
lie affairs, and the abolition Of all
needless offices and commissions.
"The salmon fishing industry, so
fruitful a source Of revenue to the
state, should be fostered, and to that
end we favor state aid in the artificial
propagation of salmon. and their dis
tribution in the waters of the state.
I'VE reaffirm our allegiance to the
principles of the republican party of
the United States, as enunciated by
the republican convention in St. Louis
in 1896.
I'VE denounce the fusion party Of
Oregon as an aggregation of spoils-
men, who are ready to subordinate
principles to offices. Each of the par
ties to this compact is willing to stul-
tify itself and form alliances with ele-
ments which it has heretofore de-
nounced as dangerous and unfit to be
intrusted with power; we declare that
good government cannot come from
such an alliance"

ley, Rev. Rhvs Gwynn, Mr..
Corby, and all other material wit

are as follows:
THE COMMITTEE STATEMENT.
We the undersigned have investi-
gated the insinuated charges made
against Hon. II. L Barkley in the
Daily Statesman of May %, 1898, and
the Oregon City Enterprise of May 81,
1898, and we are fully satisfied that
they are utterly false and unfounded
and that the same haye been made for
political purposes.
In the course of our Investigation
we have found that Rev. r. Gwypn
has made conflicting and Yacillating
statements in which, In our opinion,
he showed mental weakness, and we
are or the opinion tnaG MS statements
are entirely unreliable.
We also find that the fac -simile let
ter published had no reference what
ever to the secreting of T. II. Mitch
ell or any:other dishonorable transac-
tion.
From the published aff1davit Cf T.
H. Mitchell and other facts brought
before us during the investigation we
are of the opinion that the state
ments of said Mitchell are not worthy
of consideration.
We, therefore, have full confidence
in the honor and integrity of Hon. II.
L. Barkley, and we are fully satisfied
that he has not been connected with
any questionable or dishonorable
transaction.

gives the following account Of the
wreck.
I'VE were lying to under our fore
sail. A moderate gale was blowing
and the sea was running high, was
asleep when the watchman wakened
me with the announcement that
something was wrong. l arose at
once and found the vessel leaking,
and hurried investigation showed
that she would soon sink, and 1 at
once notified the passengers of the
situation. Most Of them were asleep
underneath the deck, A scene of
confusion then took place, and it is
impossible to give any detailed &C.
count of the events that followed.
The darkness added to the confusion.
The Jane Gray carried two life boats
and two launches. 1 at once ordered
the boats lowered. The first life boat
was swamped. The launch belong
ing to the Ingraham party was sue
cessfully lowered. At this time the
Jane Gray was almost under water.
A heavy sea struck her, throwing her
on her beam.
There was no time to launch the
other boats. The water was over her
matches and everyone below was Ger
tainly drowned. Those on deck
hurriedly got in the launch as it
drifted away from the almost sub
merged schooner and we SAL eight or
ten men clinging to the rigging. Soon
they disappeared from sight. Two
of them J. o. B. johnson, and G. j.
Reilly kept afloat by clinging to
bundles of boat lumber. Two hours
after they were picked up by our
launch, making twenty-seven in all
we had on board: 1t is barely pos
sible that there will be four more
survivors. Just before the Jane Gray
disappeared under ,the waves we
thought we saw second launch with
four forms near it. Pm not sure.
They seemed to be getting. into the
launch. We saw nothing of them
when daylight came.
1--WE improvised sail and paddles,
and after drifting 80 hours in the
launch finally landed inside Rugged
Point, Kynquot Sound, on Vancouver
Island, 80 miles from the scene of the
wreck. Fire was built on the beach,
and we made meal on roasted mus.
sells. We had had no food since the
night before the disaster excepting a
sack of prunes and turnips that we
threw into the launch. We got our
drinking water by spreading out tar
paulins IN the driving rain. An In
dian informed US that the village of
Knyquot was but six miles away, We
sent there and found the sailing
schooner Favorite becalmed and ar
rangements were made to carry our
party to Victoria. We reached there
yesterday in time to catch the
steamer Kingston for Seattle"
The Jane Gray was schooner of
1919 tons. She was built inI Bath,
Maine, in 1887. She was owned and
operated by McDougall & SouthwicF,
of this city. Outside of miners out
fits, she carried no cargo.
