The county republican convention will
be held tomorrow. The convention has
been called for 10 o'clock but it is quite
likely that adjournment win be taken
until o'clock after permanent organi-
cation is effected. Many of the dele
gates will not reach the city until the
1880 train arrives. From indications,
1t is now about certain Sheriff Linville
will receive the denomination. although
w. A. Goodin's friends will try to have
his name placed on the ticket. J. C,
Clinton will have no opposition for
clerk, nor is any one other than T. S.
Cornelius talked of for assessor. James
w. welch and C. f. Lester are mem
toned as probable legislative candi-
dates, but as yet there has been no pub
lie statement as to who will get the
nomination for county commissioner.

Collector of Customs Robb yester.
day received telegraphic advices from
Senator Fulton to the effect that tht
treasury department had decided tc
have the customs tug Patrol repaired
at Astoria. The repairs will be COM
menced at once, and when completed
the vessel will resume her service here.
The dispatch made no reference to the
status of the crew, which was recently
suspended pending investigation OF
charges of incompetency. 1t is pre-
sumed, however. the members Of the
crew will return to their places, as the
affair is regarded here merely as an
effort on the part of jealous Puget
sound neighbors to get the Patrol for
service over in Washington.

The oriental liner Indrapura will be
llbeled here this morning. At Portland
yesterday suit was filed against her by
the British & Foreign Insurance Com
pany for $4,000, for alleged damage
to cargo by fire. C. E. S. Wood, who
filed the proceedings, wanted the ves-
sci arrested Immediately, saying he was
fearful she might proceed to sea with
out clearing. This was ridiculous
statement for Mr.. Wood to make, as
all vessels entering or departing must
clear at Astoria. The suit Of the Brit
ish & Foreign Insurance Company is
on an assigned claim for $4,000. While
the Indrapura was in drydock at Hong
kong in 1902, a quantity of jute bags
and other cargo which had been insured
by the company were destroyed by fire
The owner alleged that the fire was
caused by carelessness on the part Of
the officers and crew OF the steamer.
The Insurance company paid the loss,
and the claim for damages against the
steamer was assigned to 1t by the
parties holding the policy. The charge
of carelessness on the part of the OFF,
GERS Of the steamer Is the principal fea-
ture Of teh complaint. The Portland &
Asiatic Company is named only as a
party defendant.

DENIES TWO STORIES
Bank Commissioner Middle Causes
All Kinds Of Rumors

GUTHRIE: Considerable specula-
ton is being indulged in by local poll
ticians as to whom will be the assist
ant bank commissioner to succeed
Harry Pentecost, and when the office
here will be again opened. 1t was
hinted for a time that Governor Fer
guson, when he turned down the ap'
pointment of Leon Gilbert, made by
Commissioner Cooper, hoped to give
the vacant position to his son. This
however, has been .mphatically de-
MED by Governor Ferguson In an au-
thenticated interview, in which he
declared Walter, his son, not only Is
too young for the position. but hardly
experienced enough to perform the
duties incident to the Office.
The question of when the office is
to be reoponed is perhaps a triile
more important than who will sue
ceed Pentecost, inasumch as there is
a consolidated report to be compiled
before July l. The office has been
closed for the two weeks since Mr..
Pentecost resigned, and Mr.. Coopers
whereabouts are at least not generally
known. 1t is reported that an open
rupture has occurred between the
| governor and the bank commissioner
but this is denied by sir. Ferguson.
