liquor and the firing of guns be forbidden.
There are fears of an outbreak of natives
and open resistance against the Ameri-
cans in some parts of Cuba. There is
a strong feeling against the American rule
in some quarters, the natives claiming the
right to direct their own affairs.
Parents and friends of the troops of
the Second Oregon will have to possess
their souls in patience yet little while.
The boys want to come home-we all
want them to come. The war depart.
ment has promised that they shall come
at date as early as possible to arrange
for their transportation across the Pacific.
This being true, it Is manifestly waste
Of time, patience and postage to continue
to besiege the Oregon delegation in
congress to secure the discharge Of in
dividual soldiers from the regiment. AL
things come to those who wait, and this
is case wherein waiting is compulsory
and chatting at delay at once useless and
irritating Portland Oregonean.

THE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING CO,
DERBY FOR ToMLINsoN.
Solid Delegation Chosen-Leigh Men
 Made Good Fight.

Derby, Sept. 9.-The democratic con- vention for the election of delegates to the state, county, senatorial and other conventions was held tonight. The chief interest centered in the del- egation to represent the city in the county convention and though a solid Tomlinson delegation was chosen the Tomlinson leaders were given some what of a surprise, for instead of an easy walkover as they counted on they came very near meeting defeat by the Leigh men. Chairman O'Dell of the democratic town committee headed the Leigh forces, and was pitted against Dr. Sullivan, Derbys recognized demo- cratic leader who Is a Tomlinson man, and undoubtedly had MT. O'Dell any other influence to overcome but that of Dr. Sullivan's the Leigh forces would have won out. The county delegates were ballotted for while the delegates to the several conventions were chos- en by exclamation. The delegates chosen are:
 State-Mayor Charles Chaffee, Albert F. Kennedy, F. Shepard Gordy, Gideon M. Waklee.
 County John w. Larkin, Patrick Me Manus, William Ryan, and Patrick German.

Gain in Treasury Gold.

Washington, Sept. 9.-Another gain in the treasury gold to-day of $2,399, 603 brings the total net gold up to s232, ,394,- 394. Considerable of the increase is due to the payments for the new var bonds and further additions from the same cause will result. With a view to dis bursing some of the yellow metal, the secretary of the treasury has offered to redeem the $14,00O, 900 odd currency sixes due at the first of the year and to an- ticipate the October interest on the four per cents If the latter offer taken advantage of it will absorb about $5,- 800, 1000, which, with the whole outstand- ing issue of currency sixes redemmed, would require nearly s20,OO0,0OO. Some of the sizes already have been present. ed for redemption, but enough data is not yet available to indicate whether the holders generally will be willing in advance to part with their bonds which pay a good rate of interest. Some de- mand from the west and southwest for currency necessary in the shipment of crops is apparent, and recently s400, 900 in paper has been sent to New Orleans, $500, 900 to Chicago and smaller amounts to various southern points.

$1O0,00O FIRE AT NEWPORT.
Ocean House Burned to the Ground
 Guests Escape,

Newport, R. l., Sept 9.-The Ocean House, one of the largest and best known hotels on the Atlantic coast, and the center of attraction to visitors in the city for over half century, was burned to the ground this afternoon. Sparks from the great conf1agration fell over the thickly settled portion of the city and caused three or four roof fires on buildings along Bellevue ave- nue, principally at the Casino. The Ocean House was owned by Henry J. Barbey of New York and was valued at $100,000. The hotel was built en- tirely of wood and was four stories in height with a frontage on Bellevue avenue of nearly 200 feet, while two wings, also four stories in height, ex- tended back for nearly the same dis tance. In one of these wings was the dining room, but the heating and cook a short distance away from the main portion of the hotel.
 The fire was discovered about 2:3O this afternoon by an employe who saw smoke issuing from a window in the fourth story of the dining room wing. This story was used entirely as ser wants quarters and nearly 200 who oc- cupied rooms lost all their effects An alarm was at once sounded, followed a 0 lNIy a al,,, calling every piece of fire apparatus in the city to Bellevnue avenue, and by a quarter of 3 the most fashionable street of Newport was filled with puff fling engines and a tremendous crowd of cottagers and others. The fire spread with wonderful rapidity, so that one hour after the fire started every DOT tion of the hotel was in flames.
 Nearly all the guests were in vari.- ous parts of the hotel, many having just finished lunch, when the alarm came They were therefore enabled to save many of their valuables, and a number had the good luck to get out their personal effects. Two soldiers from Fort Adams, who rushed into the burning building after the cry that some one had been left in the second story, had a thrilling escape, one jump ing from the window and landing on a pile of mattresses forty feet below. By o'clock the hotel was in ruins. The loss is about s100,000, and the in- surance in force, $30,000, similar poli- cy having just elapsed.
 The safe in the office, containing a large amount of money and jewelry, was closed soon after the fire began, and at a late hour tonight it is still in the smoking ruins, too hot to handle. The greatest excitement during the fire occurred when the roof of the famous Casino caught fire. Fortunately it did but little damage. Soon after this the roof of the library, at least half mile down the avenue, caught fire and again the blaze was extinguished without in- jury to the building or it's contents.

DEMAND AID OF BRITAIN.
Action of West Indian Representatives
 Question of ofAnnexatiOm.

Kingston, Jamaica, Sept. 9.-The conference of West Indian representa- tives at the Island of Barbados passed resolution formally demanding aid from the British home government as matter of right, as being the only available remedy for the industrial cri- sis, and also demanded the adoption of measures either for the exclusion of bounty fed sugar from the English market or the enforcement of counter valing duties. No ultimatum looking to American annexation was adopted, although the question was incidentally discussed as a possible future contin- gency to effect Cuban and Porto Rican competition in the American market should Great Britain conclusively re- fuse the relief demanded. The question of annexation to Canada was not men, tioned, and the Jamaican delegate, in an interview, declares that while an- nexation to the United States is inn probable, the transfer of the British West Indian Islands to Canada is im- practicable, besides promising no re- lief.

Letter Carriers, Convention.

Toledo, O., Sept. 9.-The letter car- riers' convention was taken up with reports of the president and other off, cers. President Parsons scored the sergeant" system in the carrier ser vice in Chicago and other cities which he stigmatized as putting the carriers under the spy system. He urged state organizations of the carriers and the need of adopting a uniform system of delivery all over the country. Nomi- hating committees were named to make selections, the tickets to be printed in Australian ballot style, for the election tomorrow. The opposition ticket to Parsons for reelection is headed by William B. Moynihan of Rochester, N. Y. There is also an effort to defeat Secretary Victor and his opponent will probably be Julius Mollier of New Orleans. After a speech by ex-Presi- dent Mccarthy of the Central Labor union of Toledo, resolutions were adopted pledging the carriers to sup port the principles of organized labor and to work for the adoption of the union label.

 Baltimore, Md, Sept 9.-Frank Wal Ter of Boston defeated Frank Starbuck of Philadelphia in a fifty mile paced race at the National Coliseum tonight. Waller also broke the worlds record for fifty miles behind pace. The best previous time was one hour and fifty minutes, made by him a week ago in his race with Henry Smith. Tonight he lowered these figures to one hour AS minutes IS seconds. The two men were limited to tandem pace and each had five machines. Starbuck led un- til the forty-th mile. He jumped for the pole at the very start and set ting a hot gait, gradually drew away from his opponent. He was thirty ahead at the first mile and steadily in creased his lead until at the sixth mile he was 300 yards to the good. Then the pace slowed down until the thir- teenth when Starbuck pushed out again and gained another 300 yards. For thir- ty miles neither man gained, but Star buck began to show signs of distress. At the thirty-fifth mile he began to wabble and lost his pace. Waller, talk ing advantage of this, closed the gap, overlook and passed the Philadelphian. Starbuck fell from his wheel when Waller passed him in the forty fifth mile and had to be carried from the track. Waller kept on riding at good gait, eventually breaking the record. He won by four and one-third miles.

REED ON THE STUMP.
Speech i'm the Maine Campaign-A Tram
 sitory Period.

Portland, Me, Sept, 9.-Speaker Thomas B. Reed made his second polit- ical speech in the campaign this after noon at republican meeting. He said: We are passing through a transitory period, many questions are to be met and must be met and decided within the next few years and some of us do not know how they will be decided. Perhaps the only way will be to apply to their solution sound common sense and compare notes with each other After all the solution of all questions must be left to the plain common sense of all the people. In our republic all the people are the final judges of every public question and the judgment of all is better than the judgment of one man. One man may be right some of the time; all men will not be wrong all of the time. We are to exhibit our good common sense by abstaining from a quick judgment. We shall for the next few years need all the wisdom, all the experience all the patriotism of all the people in settling the questions we must meet and decide.

NAME FOR HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
C TERRITORY OF HIWlTI'1 HAS
 BEEN DECIDED UPON.
It Will be Recommended to Congress by Form of Government Will be Modelled on That of Existing Territories-The Ultimate Possibility of Statehood Not Barred.

Ultimate Possibility of Statehood Not
 Barred.
 San Francisco, Cal, Sept. 9.-Advices from Honolulu dated September 3 says: The territory of Hawaii is the name which the annexation commission has decided to recommend to congress. The form of the government will be modelled on that of existing territories. There will be no further departures from this than local conditions and national po 'litical considerations make necessary. It is probable that in making out the details the form of the government will not approximate so closely that of the ordinary form of government. But the ultimate possibility of state hood will not be barred
 The local self government will be given through the extension of the mu- nicipal idea. The islands will be di- vided into municipal districts having control under restrictions of purely To- cal affairs. These will probably be a territorial legislature, but with limited powers. It is pretty clear from what has been said by members of the com mission in framing form of govern ment for the islands that they have also been charged by the administra- tion with forming a medium which can be adopted in Porto Rico and in other new possessions. The Pacific cable may go around Honolulu. A shorter route by way of Alaska has been figur- ed on. The transport Scandia arrived from San Francisco this morning.
