NORTH STAR GOES AGROUND. The Tender Runs Into the Danks on Trial Island. A special dispatch was received by the Astorlan from Victoria, B. C, last evening, stating that the North Slur, which recently left this city for Alaska to serve as a tender for the canneries of the Alaska Fishermen's Packing Company had gone aground on Trial Island, near Victoria. Later Information received, both by wire and from the local representatives of the company, developed the Informa tion thut while tho North Star had gone aground on the island, she had not been dumnged In the leust, and would undoubtedly be pulled out Into deep water on the next high tide. The North Star left this city for the north without a cargo, carrying only a large Biipply of coal In her bunkers. Sim is a sturdy craft and the news that she has escaped Injury is received here by her owners with much satisfac tion. " Mil. YOUNG'S ACKNOWLEDGMENT ALBlguntQUE. N. M., April 14.

"We, the "citizens" of Clatsop coun ty, State of Oregon, In moss conven tion assembled, do publish and declare: "1. The reckless extravagance of tho county court, the wanton expen diture of the people's money and the constantly Increasing Indebtedness of tho county, the employment of unnec essary deputies tn the various coun ty ottlces, demund a change In the ad ministration of county affairs. The Indeblednees of the county of over f liK),000, necessitating the payment of a large Interest account, and no effort has been used to decrease this Indebt edness while the tax-payers are bur dened with excessive taxation. "2. We believe the salaries paid county offkluls to be more than they can earn elsewhere and more than Is necessary (o secure competent officials. We therefore favor a reduction of 20 per cent In all suUrlea and pledge our representatives to the legislature to secure such reduction, and we further pledge ourselves to secure a reduction in the expenses of county affairs and the reduction of the county indebted ness. "3. The fishing Industry of the state Is of vital importance to Clatsop coun ty and we believe laws should be en acted, not solely In the Interest of the combine, but for the fishermen' as well. We believe the. 1 individual license on fishermen to be a tax on labor, and demand Its repeal. We call attention to the fact that there la in the hatch ery fund of the state $35,000, no part of which bus been used for building new hatcheries, and as the fishermen have contributed largely to this amount In the payment of license, they should be entitled to the benefit of the same. '"4. The agricultural interests of the county are paramount and we favor the construction of adequate county roads, lu order thut the farmers can get their produce to market at the least possible trouble and expense." ' The democrats and republican rem nants of Clatsop county met In con vention yesterday to nominate a ticket to be placed In the field against the nominees of the regular republican or ganization. Tlie ball was started rolling by the democrats, who gathered at the city hall a full hour before the "remnants" were culled to convene at the court house. It was a happy gathering. There were exactly seven spokesmen men, good and.true wrfo proved themselves willing to guide the unsophisticated In to the straight and narrow path and, Incidentally, cutting the cloth which was to go to make' up the garments of those upon whom greatness waa to be freely thrust at the appointed hour. The "conservative" members bad a load on their hands from the start, as the unterrlfied and untutored contin gent from the outside precincts ad Justed themselves upon their hind heels with the utmost deliberation when A. M. Smith moved that the brethren re solve themselves from the democratic chrysalis Into unbiased, straight out-and-out "citizens" a political sand wich, aa It were. Thomas Dealey, the bescarred gladi ator of the second ward a man who splits the glory of his achievements be;veen hair-breadth encounters with Jhe republican enemy and themountaln lion In tlie rastnt-ss.es or rar-away Mult nomah raised a most strenuous objec tion to being made meat for the "citl aens" luncheon and endeavored to bring matters to a focus by asking who the parties were who had pre sumed, In behalf of CJa'tsop .democracy, to arrange a "compromise" with the "short-end republicans." No one seem ed to know a thing afcout It, and Mr. Dealey s question went unanswered. But Mr. Smith had made a motion and this had to be disposed of In some way. There were multitudinous amend ments to the original motion, subsld ary suggestions and substitutes for the whole. With the aid of the secre tary and the four other delegates. Chair man UUInger finally succeeded In re ducing chaotic suggestion Into a formal motion and the convention at once agreed to take a recess, the members attending the "citizens" convention In a body and reconvening after the ad journment of the latter organization. While the adjournment was undoubt edly made in all sincerity and in the fullness of good faith, the action was evidently taken while the spirit mov ed and while enthusiasm was hot, for, at the close of tho "citizens" conven tion the democrats straggled town ward so well satisfied with the ease and grace with which the thing had been accomplished that they forgot all about the motion to reconvene and everything else. Mayor Bergman and the secretary of the democratic convention held an In formal caucus In front. of the city hail arid, "there being no objection," they proceeded to the hall. The secretary nominated Mr. Bergman temporary chuirrnan, Mr. Bergman accepting, with his characteristic modesty. Then the secretary moved that the Vciuzens' ticket be ratified and, upon the chair putting the motion, the secretary agreed and the vole was declared unan Imous. But to return to the main story of this remarkable convention: THE "CITIZENS." As soon as the democruts, who had adjourned and changed Into non-par- tiirans In their walk from the city hull to the court house, arrived at the luiter place of meeting the "citizens convention was called to order. Ow ing to the fact that anybody and evt-r body was a delegate, the conven tion expanded and contracted in I s vole for the various nominees accord ing l i the number of Intnds each can didate for nomination had in the court-room. Some nominations were m.ule by a majority of nfty-elgni vou-s and some by a majority of seventy-four votes, but about sixiy-nve delegates voted regularly on nearly all tho proiioslllons brought before tne convention, and it is therefore fair to ursuuie tnat that number of delegates composed the body. Only one reference was mode to the expansion of the convention and tlie speaker in this Instance was eatriiy quieted, as his candidate was hope lessly defeated, even had tne con tracted vote been counted lit thecomest tor his nomination. While It Is asserted that there was no siate in the convention, there cer tainly was a most thoroughly under standing among the "citizens," for out side of the contest for the nomination of representatives, the men frely named for the oillces before the con vention was called to order, were in every cose selected as being "accept aolc to the democrats." C. S. Dow called the convention to order and J. M. Heckard was eiected permanent chairman and Percy B. Sovey permanent secretary. The first work of the convention Tas the appointing by the chair of a com mittee on order of business, consisting of C. C. UUInger, A. M. Smith and R. N. Cole. While this committee was out at work it was announced that two repre sentatives of the woman's suffrage movement were In waiting and wanted to address the convention. At first the delegates were Inclined to demur. "They'll talk a week," said one; "We can't do their cause any good, but they can block our business," said another, and for a time It looked as If the la dles were going to be asked to "call aijain." But George Nolaad came to their rescue and made a plea that they be heard and he and Wliliam Kelly were appointed a committee to escort the ladies to the convention hall. The sutYraglat delegates proved to be Airs. Abigail Scott Dunaway, of Port luand, and Miss Marrow, of Chicago, who represented the national league. Mrs. Duiiaway, who is a sister of Harvey Scott of the Oregouian and a noted worker In the cause of woman's rights, was the first speaker. She, in a very bri;f and witty speech, urged the convention to Instruct their nomi nees for representatives to vote for the amendment of the Oregon constitution providing for universal suffrage and urged It as a business measure, say ing that the adoption of the amend ment would advertise the state far and wide. Miss Morrgw'8 speech was also brief and somewhat labored, falling evi dently to appeal to the delegates, who prelerred Mrs. Dunaway's common sense talk to Miss. Morrow's elocu tionary effects. The ladies disposed of, the committee on order of business presented the fol lowing report which was adopted: Nominations in the order named: County clerk, sheriff, county treasurer, assessor, county commissioner, county school superintendent, coroner, sur veyor, two representatives, justices of the peace, constable, road supervisors. Adoption of platform and appointment of an executive committee. As soon as the chairman called for nominations under the order of busi ness as above, A. M. Smith took the door. He said he felt that this being a citizens movement, poiiuls suuuiu cut no tigire In the selection of the men to go on the ticket. In nominat ing H. J. Wherity for county clerk, the republicans had nominated the right man for the place. His conduct of the clerk's office during his incum bency had been all the people could ask. C. C. Utzinger seconded the nomi nation, speaking In the same strain and praising Mr. Wherlty for economy in running his office. To this latter statement, Thomas Dealey took exceptions. He was will- Have You One of Our There's 8 Xmas Present Savings booh ... In It for You ... . Silk front Shirts Sweaters Iiodies lo makb ' A $1.50 Wool Sweater A 1 kind, worth $1.50 onr price $1.00.

Other nominations for county clerk were called for, and then the chair put a motion that Mr. W'herlty's nom- inatluon by the republican party for the office of county clerk be unani mously Indorsed and It was done so, leaving that gentleman a "walk over," so far as party nominations are con cerned. In the coming election. The call for nominations for sheriff followed and Al Scafeldt was recog nlied by the chair. In a eulogistic speech he placed in nomination Jens Hansen. The nomination was quickly seconded It, and. almost Immediately, a motion was made that the secretary be Instructed to cast the vote of the convention for Hansen. A delegate jumped to his feet and protested. , "Hold on," he said. "We don't want to rush things through like this. There may be other nominations." And he looked expectantly toward the rear of the room. The delegate who wanted delay ex pected that Fred Wickman would be placed In nomination, but that gentle man, having evidently become con vinced that he stood no show before the convention, was almost at that very moment tiling his papers in the county clerk's office as an Independent can didate for sheriff. After waiting a minute or two, and there being no further nominations, tho motion to have the secretary cast the vote for Hansen was carried, and the second name was added to the ticket. It may be Bald here that Hansen's friends are much chagrined at Wick man's action, as it was understood that lr caet he could not get the citizens nomination he would not be a candi date. All sorts of rumors were Hying around after the convention adjourn ed aa to why Wlckman had decided to run, some of them being none too complimentary in their nature. After Hansen had made a blushing, (Continued on pace 4.) ALI FERROUH BEY. ' Will Certainly Be Given His Passports If HU Hasten Don't Pay Our Claim. NEW TORK. April 21. A special to the World from Washington says: Unless the Sultan of Turkey acts very promptly All Ferrouh Bey, the Turkish minister will be given his passports and diplomatic relations be tween the United States and Turkey will be suspended until the sultan pays the J100.000 due citizens of the United States It is understood that an ultimatum, stating the diplomatic relations will be severed unless the claims are paid, Is ready for presentation to the Turkish government. It is known at the de partment that the Turkish minister advised his government yesterday rela tive to the situation and time will be given for the sultan to act before the ultimatum will be Issued. There has been some discussion of the plan, In the event that the sultan . still continues obstinate, to seize a port of Turkey and collect cusoms to 1 an amount equal to the claim. It Is believed that International compllca ; tions could be averted by notifying the continental powers that It was the intention of the United States to remain In possession of the port only long enough to collect the money. The i administration Is now averse, how i ever, to goinjr beyond a severance of diploniatic relations. No serious thought has been given to a military or naval demonstration, as the administration has all the war on hand it cares to deal with for tho present. Should All Ferrouh Bey be given his passport, It would amount to saying that Turkey Is a dishonest government. State department officials believe that the sultan will not be willing to have his country thus advertised to the world. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY. Take Laxative Bromo Qu;,.',,u Tab lets.
