many friends who hoped 10 have his

subject Of having a senator go from the

instead OF attempting to thwart 1t. he
headed the movement, and In Phiia-
delphia, where he had been most un-
popular, he became even more popular
than the Philadelphia he had selected.
The reason why Mr.. Quay has such a

that he selects influential men for pub

The Democratic county convention Of

adopted the following resolutions:

convention which meets at Ellens5urg on

10 work and vote for fusion with the
Popuiist and Silver Republican parties;
provided. however. that fusion can be ef-
fected under the name of the Democratic
party"
This seems TO be plainly worded and
clearly conveys its meaning without ex-
pianation or remark. The able Wa,la
Walla fasionsts al any cost, however, say
IL is merely intended to be understood In a
Pickwickean sense. 1t means, they say,
that the Democrats would like to be per-
mtted to march under a banner bearing
their party name If their Pop friends will
please let them do so, but If not, why,
they are as good Pops as any one and
will march under the Populist banner pro-
v.ded 1t leads to the feeding trough. One
of the delegates elected appeared to under
stand II N different sense. and being a
good and able fusionist under any and
all circumstances respectfully declined TO
be a delegate under the resolution. We
await with impatience the report OF the
action OF the Waia Walla Democratic del

Upon the other hand, the statements

regarding this county, present the political
condition in q very moderate way, for

that the resolutions mentioned by Mr. Oar

This man Darwin is evidently cut out for
brilliant career In the realm OF fiction.
Last week Darwin sent TO his paper a pur-
ported interview with Mr. Watson, in
which the latter WAS said TO have made
several ridiculous admissions with regard
TO his correspondence to the Post-Inteli-
gencer. No such interview occurred, nor
any interview whatever between Darwin
and Mr.. Watson.
Mr.. Watson never saw Darwin and never
heard of him until his return to Seattle
from Whatcom.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Herald tele-
graphs Besides instructions to the
peace commissioners the President will
have several matters to dispose of upon
his return. He will have to prepare
an instruction to the American EN-
bassador at st. Petersburg in reply to
the invitation of the Car to participate
In the disarmament conference While
the administration officials with whom
L have talked look upon the Gar s
proposition as QuiXotic and not d.
rectly applicable to the United States,
still there Is no doubt that the Presi-
dent will find it desirable to approve of
the Cars plan and to inform him that
an American representative will at
tend the conference.
A representative will also confer with
members of the Canadian commission
regarding it's work and the concessions
1t will make in return for equally val
liable favors
The Samoan question, which Ger
many is trying to bring into life again,
Will also have to be considered.
1t can be stated on excellent authority
that Justice White has not officially &C
cepted the appointment as a member
of the peace commission. l was told
to-day that the question is still open,
and this would seem to indicate there
is a chance of Justice White accepting
membership on the commission 1t
Is known, however, that President Nc
Kinley has several other men in view
in case Justice Whites declination
should be final. 1t is confidently be-
lieved by the administration officials
now in Washington that the fifth Nom
Der of the American commission Will be
selected in the early part of this week
and that the first session of the COM
plete commission will be held at thu
State Department the latter part of The
week to study the important work be-
fore it and receive instructions from
the President.

UNEVENTFUL VOYAGE
OF THE MONTEREY
Exceptionally Fine Weather Favored
the Monitor in It's Trip Across
the Pacific.

MANILA Aug. 4.-The United States
coast defense vessel Monterey and the
collier Brutus arrived here to-day with
all we'll on board, after a long and un-
eventful trip, having left San Fran
cisco on June Z last and San Diego on
June IL. The trip was remarkable for
nothing save the wonderfully fine
weather that both vessels had all the
way over with the exception of one gale
on July 81. During this voyage Of 1900
knots the Monterey was towed 1926
knots by the Brutus and two stops
were made, one at Honolulu, the other
at the Island of Guam in the Marina
group. At each of these places the
Monterey was coaled, In Honolulu from
the shore and at Guam from the Brutus.
AS an experiment the trip has proved
nothing more than that with phenom-
enally fine weather the vessel intended
for coast defense may with her own
steam and tow cross the Pacific
Ocean. What tale there would have
been to tell had much rough weather
been encountered is of course another
story. There Is reason to believe that
such a voyage can be made even in
heavy weather. And in the Pacific
Ocean 1t is always possible to choose a
route along which favorable weather
will probably be encountered.
