Supporters of Governor McBrlde's

bis Sent. Of the delegates already
elected to the state convention to be
held at Taoomo, September 10, they
count on 250 votes, or -within 80 of a
majority. Several county conventions
are yet to be held, and the McBrlde
men hope to have sufacient strength'
to win on the first ballot.
Senator Turner's chances for re-election,
which are remote, have received
& setback In his home county of Spo
kane by the Populists refusing to fuse
with the Democrats unlets they be
given a large share of the spoils. The
matter may be patched up, but present
indications are not favorable.
SPOKANE, Aug. 30. (Special.) Among
the politicians la Spokane the latest sen
sation is the action of the Clark County
Republican Convention in turning down
George Stevenson. Stevenson was a
member of the first State Legislature of
Washington, and since then ho has been
head and front of the most aggressive
railroad lobby Jn the "West. Incidentally
he is one of the trusted lieutenants of
Levi Ankeny, an avowed Republican as
pirant for Senatorial honors. Clark Coun
ty has been Stevenson's stronghold, and
Governor McBrlde has completely won
that stronghold.
Opponents of the Governor are uneasy,
and there are thoie who are now willing
to admit that he will go into the coming
convention at Tacoma with enough
pledged votes to Insure an appointive Rail
way Commission plank , in the platform.
East of the mountains the sentiment in
favor of the Governor's pet plan is al
most overwhelming, as Is shown by the
subjoined tab'.es. In the Railway Com
mission ranks are:
.Pole-J Dele

Governor McBrlde counts with reason
able certainty on 3G delegates from Pierce
County. In King County, Harold Pres
ton, the Governor's closest friend, named
15, and every man Is pledged to the Rail
way Commission plank. Pacific County
will give McBrlde 10 delegates, and Clark
has come forward with 17. These, added
to the 148 delegates east of the Cascades,
give the support of 256 delegates to date.
In the convention at Tacoma there will
be C71 delegates, and a majority Is 2S6.
The Governpr therefore needs to secure
only 30 delegates in the conventions yet
to bo held west of the mountains, and he
has his fight won In the state convention.
Cold Comfort to Wilson.
Wilson supporters And cold comfort In
these figures. When the handwriting on
the wall began to loom up, the Spokane
cog of the Wilson machine busied Itself
and began a sharp campaign to switch
the Spokane delegation onto the track
laid by Congressman Cushman in the
Pierce County convention an elective In
stead of an appointive commission. But
the Spokane County delegation held a se
cret caucus last night- to consider the mat
ter, and now assures the rank and file
that it will not bolt the Instructions given
by the Spokane convention.
In the list of legislators nominated by
Republicans east of the mountains ap
pears only one avowed Wilson man outside
of Spokane County. Ira Englehart, of
Yakima County, enjoys the distinction,
and he also enjoys the distinction of
being the only member of 'his county Leg
islative delegation for Wilson. Probabili
ties are that John L. Wilson will elect
five legislators In Spokane County. A
great many" Impartial thinkers do not
concede him one. But assuming that he
elects five in Spokane . County, his total
strength on first ballot In the coming
Legislature from east of the Cascades will
be six, and one of those is a hold-over
Senator.
"Warm Sfg;ht In Sight In Spokane.
A warm fight is promised in the Third
Ward of Spokane. Jacob Schiller, cx
Councllman, who 13 In the wholesale
liquor business, is the Republican candi
date for Senator. He is a strong man.
The Democrats will probably run Huber
Rasher, at -one time a Democratic can
didate for Mayor. The district is nor
mally Republican, but Rasher's popularity
is supposed to overcome that.
In the Second Ward, Frank Shaw, last
session in tho lower bouse at Olympla,
is the Republican candidate for Senator.
He is Quito popular, and is a railroad man
who will be found in the Wilson ranks.
The Democrats will probably nominate
Fred Baldwin Councilman, who won
hands down m the last city election in a
strongly Republican ward.
Populist Pnrile Democrats.
The unezpocted action of the Spokane
County Populists in deciding to hold a
separate convention, and not to fuse with
the Democrats unless the Populists are
given the Treasurer, Assessor, one Com
missioner and five members of the Legis
lature, is causing some chagrin among
tho Democratic leaders, while Republi
cans express considerable gratification.
The Democracy had fondly hoped that
the Populists would drop their separato
organization this year and work with
the Democrats for tho rcnomlnatlon of
George Turner lor the United States Sen
ate. The multiplicity of Republican can
didates, together with tho unpopularity
of John L. Wilson and tho prejudice
against a candidate from Seattle, had
given the Democratic leaders hope that
In the spilt of Republicans many votes
properly belonging to the Republicans
would be found In the Turner column.
There Is no question but that the 'Demo
crats will receive some heavy support,
along this lino, but they feel that the
Populists should line tip under the old
banner and not cause a split in the ranks
of the party which hopes to win as much
by presenting a solid front for Turner as
by taking advantage of the Republican
mix-up.
Turner Men Are Fearful.
If the Populists insist on holding out
for the offices named, the Turner men
fear trades on the Legislative ticket
which would seriously hurt Turner's
strength in the county. State Senator
Warren Tolman made a strong plea at
the Populist committee meeting of Satur- I
day last, and practically served notice
that unless the Populists came in shoul
der to shoulder with the Democrats and
took only what was freely offered, them,
the Populists could hope for no recogni
tion whatever. But there was a strong
sentiment against a merger without sub
stantial recognition of the Populist
"strength, and whWa criramfttee was ap
pointed to arrange a conference with the
Democrats, it was appointed with the
understanding that the Populists would
hold out for the five offices mentioned.
At first there was a .demand also for the
Sheriff, but this was given up.
Strength of PopullittM.
What strength the Populists can mus
ter now is an open question. The frequent
clashes of Mayor Byrne and the old-line
Democracy has caused much bitterness,
while the recent renunciation of Populism
by John Coffeen, formerly a leader among
the People's party men and the right
hand bower of Mayor Byne, is not rel
ished by the Populists, many of whom
will require no further stimulant for the
use of the knife on whatever ticket the
Democrats may -put up, unless Populist
claims are recognized as demanded. The
Turner men hope to heal ajl differences
svlthln the next two weeks, but they real
ize that the task will be difficult
LEWIS COUNTV FOR M'BRIDE.
Republican Convention Declares for
His Railway Policy.
CHEHAU.S. Wash., Aug. 30. (Special.)
The Republican County Convention was
dominated by the McBrlde men. and
Lewis County is now on record for an ap
pointment of a Railway Commission. The j
first contest was over the selection of a
temporary chairman. A combination from
the First and Third Commissioner Dis
tricts, assisted by friends of Dr. Allls, I
of Chchalls, named Dr. G. H. Dow for j
temporary chairman, against W. A. Rey- J
nolds, who represented the N. B. Coff- !
man Interests. Dr. Dow was elected bv a
vote of 90 to 7S for Reynolds. When the
resolutions were presented, W. A. Rey
nolds made a fight on the floor to have
the railroad resolution amended by de
claring for an elective commission, but
this was defeated by a vote, of 94 to 74.
The resolutions indorse the Administra
tion of Roosevelt, favor the renominatlon
of Cushman and Jones for Congress, an"
anti-pass law, and enlightened .methods
of road building.
The Indorsement of Governor McBrlde
was as follows: "We likewise indorse the
policy and administration of Governor

RENOMINATED FOR CONGRESS IN CALIFORNIA.
EUGEXE- P. LOUD.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 'SO. SpecIal.)-Eugene F. Loud, of San Francisco,
was today renominated for Congress by the Republicans of the Fifth district. A
fight was made on Loud by some of the labor unions, who deemed him hostile to
their Interests, but ho won out easily, and his re-election now seems asaured.
Eugene F. Loud Is well-known In this city and county, which' have honored
him several times. He was a member of the State Legislature In 16S4. and later
was Cashier and Tax Collector of the City and County of San Francisco. He was
elected to Congress In ,1891. and has been re-elected every two years since. Ho
sprang into National prominence by his bill to exclude many publications from
the malls, and his ability to handle postal matters was recognised by his .being
made chairman of the committee on post offices and postroads, a position he now
holds.
Mr. Loud Is 55 years of age. He was born jat Ablngton, -Mass., March 12,,
187. He went to sea and arrived In this state when he was 13 years of age. He
served in the Civil War. and when peace was declared returned to California.
Previous to entering politics, he followed a mercantile pursuit.'
noon In a tallyho drawn by four horses.
Seated on the box with him were Mr. and
Mrs. Winston Churchill and Senator Proc
tor. When" Windsor was reached, where
the people awaited his coming, the most
cordial welcome was extended, and as the
county fair was In progress, many persons
out of .town were given opportunity to
greet him. The drive through the moun
tains seemed to give him new vigor. He
was In his happiest vein, and as he passed
through the streets of Windsor he bowed
first ;o one side and then to the other on
his way to the- Evarts residence, where
he took luncheon.
The start from the Blue Mountain Club
house was begun promptly at S o'clock
this morning, and the route to Windsor
was through the Corbln reserve, and some
of the most beautiful New Hampshire
country, the whole journey occupying four
hours.
At Cornish the President was met by
Mr. and Mrs. Winston Churchill, who ex
tended him a cordial welcome, which was
participated in by the entire population I
of the town. In a brief speech the Presl- j
dent again took up and discussed the j
duties of citizenship. Three rousing cheera '
were given as the party mounted the
tnllyhe for Windsor, n distance of eight
miles.
The President, on the drlvevto Cornish,
got out of his carriage and walked up
some of the steep grades. He outdis
tanced these who attempted to follow
him,, and was bathed in perspiration when
he again resumed his seat in the carriage.
Four stops and as many speeches were
scheduled for today, but he yielded to
pressure and made eight stops and eight
speeches. South Royalton, Bethel. Ran
dolph and Waterbury were tho places
where the additional stops were nfade.
The stop at Waterbury had been quietly
arranged by Senator Dillingham. The
President spoke from the station platform,
and In a few words paid a tribute to the
Senator. The President had started for
the train, when suddenly he turned back
and told the people he did not think they
deserved any credit for being good, be
cause they could not help it, which pro
duced much merriment.
At Montpeller the President said that
he was glad to come as the gupst of the
Society of the Sons of the Revolution. "It
is a great thing," he added, "to have had
forefathers who did their work well In
the world, always provided that the fact
of having had them drive us onward to
try to do our part in the world now. in
stead of being used as an excuse for not
doing our full share."
A text in the Bible contained two rules
of conduct, of which too many people
were apt to take only one. "The text."
said the President, "Is that which bids
us to be wise as serpents and harmless as
doves. To be only harmless is not really
to deserve much praise, nor. on the other
hand, to possess all the wisdom and power
that can come to man shall avail anything
If It does not go to lift us toward rlshte
ousness and toward decency.

THE PERIOD OF PREPARATION
Strengthening? the Forts Along? tne
Rhode Island, and Connecticut
Const State Troops Will
Take Part.
NEWPORT, Aug. SO. The Army of de
fense and the attacking squadron under
Admiral Hlgginson have spent the first
24 hours of the period of preparation in
strengthening their forces. The Massachusetts-Heavy
Artillery came from Bos
ton today, part going to Fort Rodman, at
New Bedford, and six batteries coming
here as additional reinforcements to Fort
Adams and Fort Qreble. The Army also
received in addition the Rhode Island
Signal Corps of 20 men. As for the Navy,
the Massachusetts Naval Brigade was
sent on board the warships by means of
two naval tugs.
This evening General MacArthur again
visited the forts In this vicinity, this time
on the war yacht Kanawha, accompanied
by a large staff made up of officers not
only of this division but from the War
Department.
Th gunboat Gloucester, which came in
during the forenoon, left for the fleet at 3
o'clock with the mall. She may return to
morrow, as Admiral Hlgginson has until
midnight Sunday to disappear from tho
coast, war being technically declared at
that time.
During the afternoon, Brigadier-General
Greely arrived and spent some time in In
specting the signal arrangements, paying
special attention to the searchlight sta
tion at Price's Neck. Upon his recom
mendation, a third telephone wire was
strung to the station, so that nil the sig
nal stations, from Fort Adams, around
the southern end of the island from Rhodo
Island, to eastern points, are now con
nected by telephone. Just at sunset the
big steam yacht Kanawha came into the
harbor with General MacArthur.
The arrangements at the fort In this
vicinity are complete, but the evening
was spent In additional searchlight prac
tice. Tomorrow night the guards at all
the forts will be strengthened and the
signal stations fully manned. In prepara
tion for the attack, which, according to
the rules, may begin any time after mid
night. OX BOARD THE FLAGSHIP.
Mobilisation of Admiral HlKBlnaonN
Sqnadron.
ON BOARD U. S. S. ALABAMA, Men
emsha Bight, Martha's Vineyard, Mass.,
Aug. SC. Mysterious and secretive today
was Admiral Hlgginson'B whito' Bouadron.
The warships have their orders, but none
except the captains and executive, officers
know their purport. The mobilization of
the squadron continued last night with
the arrival of the Scorpion. At S o'clock
the Gloucester sailed. Her destination
was unknown, but it is understood she
passed out on scout duty. The-battle-ship
Indiana and the Puritan (rated as a battle-ship)
were momentarily expected, as
well as the auxiliary cruiser Panther and
the cruiser Montgomery. Admiral Hlg
ginson has not ordered the camp of ma
rines on Martha's Vineyard to be broken,
and It Is considered probable that they
will not report back to their ships until
hostilities are discontinued. One of the
reasons why he decided to keep the ma
rines on shore is the overcrowding Inci
dent to the quartering of tho naval re
serves. The umpire's of the Navy and the ob
servers from, the Army who arrived yes
terday are not quite ready to fulfill their
duties. The Alabama's Judges are: Com
mander Duncan Kennedy for the Navy
and- Lieutenant-Colonel William R. Llver
moore for the Army. A visitor who will
remain during the engagements Is Jame3
Barnes, the historian of New York, who
is the guest of Captain Brownson.
In. view of the opening of the period of
hostilities, there was much discussion
among the officers, especially the ensign
and midshipmen, of the war games on
the Massachusetts Coast- All agree that
the experience was of great value. In
this connection it Is noted that Ensign
Robert H. Berry, of the Kearsarge,. who
had charge of the central station at Rock
port during the maneuvers, and Midship
man Spofford were guests of Admiral Hlg
ginson at breakfast yesterday.
Weather conditions have been superb,
with the air clearand exhilarating. Officers
and men are physlclally in splendid form
and eager for action.

POINT JUDITH. R. I.. Aug. 20. As
thla point. In the view of the officers In
charge of the defense In the pending war
maneuvers, Is considered the most favor
able place for an attacking fleet to land,
attention is being concentrated here and
elaborate plana have been made for its
protection. The largest body of elgnalmen
In the whole line of action Is located here.
and other preparations have been made.
It Is said that no place on the const of
fers a better chance for the hostile fleet
to land 'men than Inside Point Judith
breakwater. In connection with the de
fense of this locality, a big war balloon
will be sent up 2000 feet and anchored day
and night- The balloon is provided with
a telephone, wigwag signals and flashlight-
On a clear day observations at sea
will bo possible for 30 miles. Two large
automobiles are on the way here for the
use of the signalmen, one of the cars be
ing for the purpose of aavlng the balloon
should the enemy land and seem likely to
capture it.
The New London. Newport, Block Isl
and and Point Judith stations have fre
quently been firing rockets for the purpose
of giving one another assurance of their
relative positions. In every case the sys
tem worked well.
The Fort Riley Maneuvers.

Clernand. of the Department of the Mis
souri, today announced much progress in
the work of completing details of the
Army maneuvers at Fort Riley. The
troops at Fort Leavenworth will march
150 miles overland to Fort Riley, and the
Twenty-second Infantry will have a
march of 200 miles from Fort Crook. Or
ders have been Issued to the troop3 at
Fort Snell to participate in the man
euvers, and the National Guardsmen of
Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas and Nebras

most picturesque features of the big

to Involve an attempt to take possession
of the bland by sending landing parties
of Jackies from the warships and the
earnestness which the men throw into the

WASECA. 3IInn Aug. 20. Two persona
were killed, three fatally Injxtred and more
than a score of others hurt tonight In tho
wreck of a train which had been hurled,
down an embankment by a tornado. Ai
west-bound train on the Chicago & North
western Railroad, consisting of an en
gine, a baggage car and. two crowded pas'-,
senger coaches, was struck by a tornado
while running at the rateof 33 miles an
hour two miles from Meridian. The pas
senger and baggage cars were hurled 13
feet down the embankment to the fence
guarding the right of way. A brakeman
was lighting the lamps when the crash,
came, and the wreckage was Ignited by
the spilling of oil. The dead are:
DELMAR PETERSON, aged 5 years,
Waseca.
UNKNOWN WOMAN, supposed to be
Anna Bupckford, Albert Lea. Minn.
The fatally injured are: Miss Eva Rich
ardson, New Ulm. Minn., hurt Internally;
A. C. McConnell. Brookings, S. D..: hurt
internally; unidentified woman, crushed.
Among the other Injured are: T. N.
Knaveold. Albert Lea. Minn., State Sena
tor and candidate for Congress, four ribs
broken: R. H. Wilde. Milwaukee, shoulder
dislocated. left arm broken and Injured
Internally; Miss E. C. Hllmer, New Ulm,
head cut and badly Injured internally;
John Rosenau. Meridian, left arm broken;
Miss Mary Glasby, Kasson, Minn., left
arm broken.
The engineer Is reported to have seen
the tornado In apparent pursuit of tho
train, and scarcely an instant before tho
wind struck the cars the train gave a
lurch in a sudden spurt to evade the funnel-shaped
fury. It was 5:40 o'clock when
the train was struck. Fully an hour and
a half elapsed before the wrecking train
arrived.
The engine did not leave the track, the
baggage car and passenger coaches having
been twisted off as if by giant hands and
hurled downward to the bottom of the em
bankment. The baggage car was shat
tered to splinters. The two dead were
jammed In the wreckage, and their bodies
were cut out with axes. It Is feared that
more bodies may be found under the
debris, and wrecking gangs sent from
Waseca are at work on the shattered
cars.
Tho brakeman, who was lighting the
lamps in one of the passenger coaches
when the tornado struck; cannot be found
tonight. It Is feared his body may be In
the wreckage. Passengers saw him strike
the under sido of the coach with terrific
force, and at the same time the lamp
that he had been trimming was smashed
Into splinters.
The Injured and the bodies of the dead
were brought to Waseca by physicians
who attended to the seriously injured.
Eva Richardson died from her Injuries
after reaching Waseca. The damage by
tbe tornado In Owatonna was not great
and was confined to a narrow path.
