To Suppress the Boxers Will Sacrifice
Many Lives.
VANCOUVER, B. c., June 29.-General
Stahl of the imperial German army,
who has been investigating conditions
in the Orient under special commits
sion from the German government, has
arrived here Oh his way home. On be-
ing asked if he thought the Boxers
would be quickly suppressed, he said
that in his opinion the powers had
started in upon long, bloody conflict.
In the end the Boxers will be dis
banded, he said, but the sacrifice of life
will be appalling, for the movement is
spreading like wildfre. The Southern
Boxers will join the North and vast
mobs of fanatics will have to be con-
tended with. Enormous quantities of
arms were being constantly Struggled
to them and owing to the countless
hordes of fanatics and the vast terri
tory covered, they could for some time
defy the whole world.

mously by rising vote.
1t was decided to dispose OF the un-
contested nominations before consider
ing those for which several candidates
were rival candidates.
A resolution favoring the eight hour
day was presented, and although the
debate indicated strong feeling in its
favor, it was decided to refer this and
all other resolutions to the committee
on resolutions without debate on the
floor of the convention.

for treasurer and it was unanimously

Associate Justice L. w. Collins were

United States Senator Carter of Mon
tana was in the hall and Chairman
Young called him to the platform and
he was introduced to the convention.
He spoke at some length on the past
record of the Republican party and the
certainty of continuance Of Repub-
Gcan rule. AS he finished his speech
Captain Van SAINT appeared and was
greeted with cheers, after which he
formally accepted the nomination and
discussed the issues of the campaign.

culturists.
For the OleomargarineiB Bill.
We therefore favor the speedy passage
of the legislation now pending in congress
intended to prevent the sale of oleomar-
garine for that which it is not, and there
by protect the producer and innocent con-
sumner of dairy products from the frauds
now being practiced upon both, and we
therefore earnestly request our senators
and representatives in congress to aid by
their work and votes in securing the pas
sage of such legislation.
We favor the election of United States
senators by the people and urge that our
senators and representatives in congress
use every effort to secure such amendment
to the federal Constitution as shall make
such method of election possible.
For 40 years the public affairs of this
state have been administered by the Re-
publican party 1t has been constantly
the claim of our opponents that an OPP
portunity for investigation would reveal
great delinquencies. Twice our oppo-
nents have had such opportunity and they
stand condemned in their false charges
and confused by their utter inability to
discover any delinquencies or misconduct
in public affairs.
Party Record on Railroad Laws.
AS the question of Regulating the charge
for transportation of persons and prop
erty has grown in Importance and inter
est the Republican party has met the
the power to regulate such charges, and
we remind the people that every law
which is in force today for the regulation
of traffic has been passed by the Repub-
lican party, and the system of laws so
built up by that party has received the
approval of our opponents in the unquali-
fled declaration Of the present executive
of this state that we require no new legis-
lation upon this subject, and the records of
the state and federal courts show that
there has been uniform and persistent
effort upon the part Of the Republican
party through its official representatives
to enforce these laws, and we stand COM
mitted to just enforcement of all laws
regulating transportation charges.
For Equal Taxation.
The Republican party stands for the
principle of fair and equal taxation and
insists that every business, whether
owned by corporations or individuals,
should bear its just share Of the public
burden. We heartily approve OF the leg
islation enacted by the last Republican
legislature known as the "Somerville
law" imposing tax upon all foreign
corporations doing business within this
state.
We commend the gross earnings sys-
tenn of taxation as to railroads We be-
lieve that system to be attended with less
friction and expense and to have pro-
duced better financial results than the
method Of direct taxation which prevails
in some adjacent states. We are in favor
of continuing the maintenance of this
system in this state and we insist that
the rate of taxation under the gross earn
ings system shall be maintained at such a
figure as will make the tax annually col
lected on railroad property equal and uni
form with the taxes imposed upon other
property throughout the state

of hogs. The suit was set for trial
before Justice Watson of Long Is-

missed, and Parks and his SOD, aged
about 81, and James Exline were re-
arrested and brought to this PLACED
A hearing was had Monday; Exlins
was discharged and the two Parks
were bound over to the district court
with bonds at $500 each. Tannahill
claims that hogs which Parks sold to
Jos. Shelton, of the Island, belonged
to him, while Parks CLAIMS that he
raised the hogs. The justice, how

had been introduced to warrant the
binding over of the accused parties

plenty of fun to tease a fine jersey
ball belonging to Mr.. Taylor. The
fun ended when the bull took hand
in the game. He started after his
tormentors and for a while made
hings interesting. Chris Mcclure
came in for large share of his stten-

times before he could get to the fence.
