SEARCHING FOR
THE DEREL|CT
Unsuccessful Voyage of
the Willapa.
Special Dispatch to The can.

VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 28-The mys-
terry of the derelict barkentine which is
reported TO have played tag with the reefs
off Ciayoquot three weeks ago is still un-
solved. Indeed 1t grows more mysterious
The steamer Willapa, which went as far
Is the north end of Vancouver Island to
search for her, has returned, and neither
saw nor heard anything further of the
wandering barkentine. But although she
saw nothing of the vessel, the Willapa
saw campfires along the beach-fires
which looked as though they were the
temporary homes of shpwrecked crew
They were over forty miles from any hab-
itation and on a seldom visited part Of the
coast. To see If there was any sign of
life, the steamer bore well inshore and
the officers scanned the beach with their
glasses, but without avail. If any ship
wrecked mariners had been there they
were not then visible, and 1t was too
rough for landing to be made to in
vestigate further.
Another story which is coupled with the
mystery is that told by Captain A. L.
Hammer Of the schooner Lily L, which
has returned from Unalaska. He tells of
seen off Clayoquot-on August 16. in lati-
tude 49 degrees and IS minutes north
longitude 1876 degrees and 46 minutes west :
about $50 miles from the north end of
Vancouver Island. She was a three-mast-
ed barkentine, square rigged. The lower

which was a gaff,' The hull was badly
broken and great deal of the planking
gone, showing the vessels ribs. She

MCLEAN IS NOW
ON THE SCENE
Ohio Democratic Clan S
at GAINESVILLE.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

GAINESVILLE. Ohio, Aug. 28.-The
Democratic State Convention was inaug-
urated to-day by the arrival of John R..
Mclean this afternoon and Colonel
James r. Kilbourne tonight and all the
other candidates for Governor and other
places on the State ticket. While the at
tendance is unusually large there are not
many delegates present. They will come
tomorrow with the visiting clubs. The
preliminary meetings do not occur until
p. m. tomorrow and the convention does
not convene till Wednesday. There are
probably no changes to-day in the fig
ures. The arrival of Mclean has made
his friends more enthusiastic and the ar
rival of KilbOurne has made some of his
friends more desperate. The other can
didates for Governor are not doing much
except shaking hands, with the excep-
ton of Sherwood who seems to be in
line for second place. The Mclean men
are so confident of not less than seventy
six more than is necessary on the hrst
ballot that they are figuring on their
running mates. They prefer Colonel
James Kilbourne for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, but so far neither he nor his
friends will concede The nomination to
Mclean or accept the second place. If
the Kilbourne men hold out 1t is likely
that the ticket will be Mclean and Sher-
wood
The Mclean leaders held general con-
assurances afterward of majority of
seventy eight over all, together with
claims OF seventeen sure and probably
eighteen of the twenty-one Congressional
districts. This would insure them the
control of all the committees tomorrow
night and absolute control of the conven-
ton
Judge William T. Mooney will be tenn
porary chairman of the convention, but
he is not wanted by the Mclean men for
permanent chairman. Congressman j. d.
Norton will be the permanent presiding
officer.
The candidacy of Mclean has brought
many prominent men here that have not
attended conventions for many years.
Some of them are from other States.
Nearly all the "old guard" that was in
McLean's organization in 1897. when he
sought to succeed Sherman as Senator,
are here and all of the workers he mar
shaled two years ago against Hanna are
here Kilbourne has not only the old
friends of Thurman, but quite an army
of new men OF his own following. All
of the candidates seem TO have root
ers" available.
The indications to-day are that there
will be opposition to the adoption of the
proposed constitution that provides a
more definite plan of party organization
and a uniform system for selecting dele
gates to all Democratic conventions.
