ocratic state convention met at noon.
' The opera house was crowded. Congress
man Beltzhoover is temporary chairman,
In his address of acceptance he arraigned
the republican party for extravagance;
denounced the McKinley bill and free
silver, and made a plea forjeconomy in
ia government expenditures. He paid
a glowing tribute, to the qualities of
Grover Cleveland as a leader. He linked
his name with that of his beautiful wife
and interesting baby. He also referred
to Governor Pattison, of Pennsylvania,
and Senator Gorman, of Maryland, as
suitable men for president. The refer
ences to Cleveland and Pattison received
long-continued cheers. The name of
Hill shouted from the gallery caused
groans and hisses. The usual com
mittees were then appointed.

Olympia, April 14. The campaign in
this state, promises to be an interesting
one the coming presidential election.
The state has been 10,000 republican,
but corrupt legislation and disregard for
the wishes of the people have caused a
revolution. Seattle, one of their strong
holds, has been captured by the democ
racy, and another, Tacoma, was saved to
them the other day by a bare hundred
votes. If these local elections have any
significance, Washington may' be de
pended upon to surprise some one this
Only Chinaman in the Army.
Chicsgo, April 13. Private Edward
D. Cehota, the only Chinaman in the
army of the. United States, has been
banished in disgrace from Fort Sheridan
near this city, to' the distant west,
Cehota, who was a private in company
H, and while in the infantry, fought
through the war, has been in the ser
vice over twenty-seven years. The
cause of his removal to this new station,
Fort Niagara, is selling liquor and keep
ing a gambling house, which was pat
renized by his white comrades.
The Election in Troy.
Troy, N. Y., April 13. The ballot-
boxes of the fourth ward of Cohoes,
. which were taken to the police station
yesterday, are still there; but Henry A.
Strong, republican, for mayor was elect
ed without them. The fourth ward be
ing republican, would only increase his
majority. The seizure of the boxes
arose out of the fact that much money
was bet. on rival, democratic candidates,
and one faction sought to . prevent the
other, which had control of the ballot
boxes from unduly inflating its count.
A Democratic Stronghold,
.Albany, ' N. Y., April 13. Mayor
James H. Manning and the entire dem-
. ocratic ticket was re-elected yesterday by
1,500 majority. Eighteen out of the
three supervisors are democrats. Man
ning is a son of ex-Secretary of the
. Treasury Daniel Manning. .
Too Many Wires.
Madison, Ga., April 13. Bishop
G. Hoon. of The Methodist church of
California, has telegraphed Rev. War
ren Calder, president of Emery Method'
ist church, Oxford, Ga., to have arrested
if possibly, Rev. Edgar Dnnbar and
wife, the former being a minister in the
conference, and divest him of minister
ial credentials. The charge is that Mr,
and Mrs. Dunbar are living in an illegal
union, and the story in the case is an in
teresting one. Mr. and Mrs. Dunbar
arrived at Oxford some time ago to visit
a son who is attending college there,
Thev were well received, and Mr. Dun
bar filled the pulpit for Dr. Candelar on
more than one occasion.- It developed
that twenty-five years ago Edgar Dun-
bar, who is a native of Florida, married
a beautiful woman there and raised
small family. He afterward eloped to
Little Rock, Ark., and assumed the
name of Seth Burnett. He admitted to
the Methodist conference of Arkansas
that he had another family. He be
came tired of his second wife and family
and eloped with Mrs. Herndon, wife of
neighboring local preacher, going to
southern California, where he resumed
his own name of Dunbar again. Dun
bar's second wife devoted several years
to ferreting out his whereabouts, finally
succeeded in locating him in California
The attention of the authorities of the
Methodist church there was called to the
case and they at once concluded the
man wa a hypocrite. Meantime. Dun
bar. suspecting something wrong, left
California, stating he was going to New
York, but instead went to Oxford. The
bishop promptly telegraphed to have
Dunbar and wife intercepted, but the
message was sent too late, as the couple
had left Oxford. Their son. who is at
college and whom they have been visit
ing, knew nothing of the situation un
til informed by President Calder. The
boy, after hearing the story, immediately
followed his parents to New ork. Tel
eerams have been sent to New York to
arrest the couple.
High Arrests in Bio.
Rio Janeiro, April 13. This city yes
terday was in a state of siege. A num
ber of prominent military and naval of
ficers have been placed under arrest for

manifestation in favor of ex-President
Fonseca. The prisoners will be tried by
council of war. A revolution has start
ed in the state of Matto Groso. The
legislature has proclaimed it independ
ent of the republic. Colonel Barber

Every railroad is .washed out and nearly
all the wires are down. - Every bridge
in the country is washed away, and
much stock lost. West Point, Miss., is
surrounded by water, and cut off from
the rest of the world.
An Old-Timer Suspended.
Sax Francisco, April 13. Collector
Phelps today suspended Andrew Holli
wood, who for twenty-three years has
been employed in the custom house in
the capacity of sampler or examiner,
The inspector declined to give his rea
son for the suspension, but it is under
stood to be the alleged connection of
Holliwood with the tobacco frauds.
Cape Horn Seal.
New London, Conn., April 13. The
sealing schooner Sarah Hunt, Captain
James Bubbing, has returned to Ston
ington, having caught 15,000 seals about

Coquille, Or., April 13. Yesterday
afternoon, while the life-saving crew at
Bandon were out for practice upon the
bay, their boat was capsized and three
of the crew of eight were drowned. One
man had his arm broken. - The names
of the drowned are Captain Nelson,
William Green and Edward Summers.
The name of the man with the broken
arm is unknown. The remainder of the
crew were rescued by Capt. Jenks, for
merly "captain of the life-saving station
at' Bandon. When the rescuing party
reached the capsized boat she was roll
ing over like a barrel, and when rescued
the men that were still alive were so
weak that they had to be lashed to the
boat, being unable to hold themselves
up. The names of the surviving five
out of the crew of eight could not be ob
tained at this time.
Star Office Damaged.
Washington, April 13. At 9 o'clock
this morning fire was discovered in the
engine-room adjoining the stockroom
and pressroom of the Evening Star of
fice, and, although an . alarm was
promptly given and the entire depart
ment responded immediately, the fire
spread rapidly toward the interior of
the block, and soon reached the stereo
typing and composing-room on the third
and fourth floors. The second, third
and fourth floors were gutted. The
press-room, was badly damaged.' A
magnificent press is thought to be com
pletely ruined. Two Hoe presses are
damaged to some extent. The stereo-
typing-room is in ruins, but the mach
inery is not seriously injured. The fire
is still burning fiercely in the interior of
a closely-built block, and seems to be
working in the rear of Gall's jewelry
store. The entire fire department is at
work, but as there is no way to access
to the interior of the block except
through or over the high buildings com
posing it, the firemen are seriously hand
icapped in their work. The National
Tribune has offered the Star the use of
its facilities, and the paper will appear
regularly, but probably in a reduced
form. No estimate of the losses or in
surance can be obtained yet.
Central Pacific Election.
San Fbaxcisco, April 13. Stockhold
ers of the Central Pacific railroad have
re-elected the old board of directors, and
added two to the number by the elec
tion of E. W. Hopkins, of San Francisco,
and Tbos. Hubbard, of- New York.
Wealthy men of this city have sub
scribed $3,000,000 to build a competing

Iowa Again Visited.
Des Moines, April 13. Advices from
many points in this state are to the
effect that an extremely severe storm of
snow, sleet, ram and wind prevails.
Telegraphic Flashes.
A Jynching bee was expected in
Owyhee last night. Pete Meddin killed
W. R. Steel, in a dispute over land.
The officers were guarding Meddin at
last accounts. - "
All efforts to settle the dispute between
mployes and mill owners in the Lan
cashire cotton district have failed, and
on Saturday, when the notices expire,
pindles will be idle. Eleven thousand
spinners are directly affected, and 70,
000 workers in other branches connected
with the cotton industry indirectly.
Representatives of the Flowery King
dom are now alarmed over the Chinese
exclusion bill. Their threats did not
create the desired reaction. It would
not be surprising to find a proposition
for a new treaty coming from China,
This treaty will be drawn upon the lines
of the Bayard treaty, which was rejected
by the Chinese government on account
of its stringency.
A well intended kick has been sent in
to the office of the bureau of navigation,
for allowing the Mohican to be docked
in Esquimau. Commander Ramsey
said that the navy department was not
aware that the Mohican was in the dock
until informed by her commander, who
was doubtless ignorant of the fact that
there was a drydock at Tacoma as were
the. officials of the navy department.
When the Mohican broke her false keel
it was simply a question whether she
would return to San - Francisco, 800
miles, or proceed to Esquimalt. The
vessel, of course, put into the nearest
known -port, where there wan a Wfc
Tacoma should advertise.
A Flan for Navigating the Cascade
Baplds. Interview with Dr. Ang.
C. Kinney
Dr. Aug. C. Kinney, of Astoria, who
is spending a few days in The Dalles for
the purpose of enjoying our delightful
climate, was met by a Ciibonicle repre
sentative this morning. In the course
of a pleasant chat the doctor said :
( Thirty years ago I came up the river
with my. brother Albert W., now de
ceased, with a small pack train bound
for the mines. The old Mountain Buck
carried us from Portland to Cascades
and the Idaho carried us from Cascades
to The Dalles. It took us all day Und
all night to reach The Dalles. I packed
into tbemines all that year into mid
winter. I was then trying to make
money with which to finish my educa
tion and study medicine. It was about
fifteen years ago I formed a company to
build locks at the Cascades, and in order
to demonstrate that locks and canal one-
half mile in length were sufficient there,
I hired the Willamette Chief-to make
the ascent of the river through the rapiss
Lto the lower end of the proposed site
of the locks. In doing this the steamer
would have to pass up through waters
hitherto never navigated and believed to
be impossible to navigate,, by most
steamboatmen. I was on board the
steamer on that trial which proved an
entire success. The steamer went up
from the lower landing in forty-five
minutes without using a line. Now the
steamer Dalles City, a boat of smaller
power, climbs the same rapids every
day. Well "Uncle Sam" preferred to
build those locks himself and possibly
that was best. I think, however, a mis
take was made in planning the locks to
pass such large steamers. In this way
more money and time were required for
the construction. To those of us who
have felt a great and intense interest in
the building of thoee locks, the fifteen
years taken already seem very long.
However, the building of the state rail
way has been a great relief to you.
They tell me that the locks are now
about half built.
I have been recently studying up the
matter and have come to the conclu
sion that the rapids at the Cascade
locks can be improved at small cost
sufficiently to allow steamers of the lower
river to pass up to The Dalles through
the entire rapids and down again with
out going through the locks for three
months of each year in high water, say
from May 1st to AugUBt 1st.
To do this it will be necessary only to
blast out some of the rocks on the rap
ids and place lines along the channel.
possibly it may be necessary to use
power on the lines in addition to the
power of the boat.
How much dou you think such a
scheme would cost, Doctor, asked the
reporter.
Not over ten thousand dollars. It
should be done as soon as the water goes
down this fall so you can set your steam
ers running through from The Dalles to
Portland and Astoria by next May.
On what do you base the claim that
this can be done?
On a thorough and reliable examina
tion of the whole rapids made within
the past few months.
Do you not think that the removal of
the rockk you; propose, would lesssen
the depth of the water in the river
above the rapids?
Not at all. The portion of rocks I
propose to be removed would all be
above the low water mark ; hence the
removal would not lower the water in
either the river or canal at low stage of
water. And again the improvement is
one that would be very useful at any rate
after the locks are completed as the
removal of these rocks above this
low water line will enable boats passing
up through the locks to pass down over
the rapids during high water with per
fect safety. Some way should be
planned to have the work I indicate
performed this fall at low water.
Do you know of any case similar to
that which you propose, was asked..
Yes. At the locks at Louisville, Ky.,
on the Ohio river the rapids are so
improved that boats use the canal in
low water and the river in high water,
A government engineer has actually
proposed a similar plan for overcoming
obstructions in the upper river. I want
you to distinctly understand, however,
that I am thoroughly in favor of an
early completion of the locks by the
contract system and would . not for a
moment think of doing anything that
would tend to retard the work.
Governor Ferry for an Open Stiver.
Uncle Linus Hubbard, though com
paratively a stranger in Eastern Oregon,
is intensely -interested in an open river,
As a result, he has sent out at quite con
siderable cost, over one hundred photo
graphs of the whalebacks Wetmore and
Colgate Hoyt passing through the Sault
St. Marie canal. They, have gone to
members of congress,Jnewspaper editors,
senators, governors of states and other
public men". The photographs have
been very kindly received by everybody,
from our own Binger down, and here is
a sample acknowledgment received from
Gov. Ferry of Washington.
Olympia, Wash., April 9, 1892.
Linus Hubbard, Esq.,
Deab Sib : I have received your let
ter of the 2d .inst. and photographs of
of the whaleback steamers C. W. Wet
more and Colgate Hoyt. I fully appre
ciate the importance of the early com
pletion of the- Cascade locks, and the
benefit that will be derived therefrom
by the citizens of Eastern Washington
as well as Eastern Oregon. I will urge
our senators in congres and our member
to give their earnest personal attention
to this matter. Very truly yours,
Elisha P. Febby.
Magnanimous Multnoma'h The Repub
lican State Convention.
. The Dalles, April 9th.
Editor Chronicle:
We cannot jielp manifesting our ap
preciation and gratitude on the part of
Eastern Oregon to Portland and all the
rest of the state, for their courteous and
magnanamous treatment of us at the
state convention. We got all we asked
for, and possibly more than we deserved.
When we were contesting for our nomi
nee for congress, and the numerous can
didates, (any of whom would be an
honor to the house of representatives
and the state of Oregon,) and . their
names were called and they deployed,
and made ready for the race, one of
Multnomah's sturdy and clever sons,
Judge Stott, arose an announced that
they would bands off, and blank ballot,
until the third heat, and then they
would, from their forty-two delegates,'
step in and lift our fastest courser to the
goal and thus decide the contest. - And
they bid us with whip and spur to speed
our fastest candidate to the third heat,
at which time, to our great satisfaction,
Mr. Ellis came in the victor.
T'was then that magnanamous Mult
nomah stepped in and lifted our big
man to the goal, amid intense excite
ment and boisterous cheering. We
could not help but notice with what
dignity and fortitude each one bore his
disappointment, and seemed to suffer
less from this defeat, then did Mr. Ellis
with gratitude. Mr. Leasure greeted
Mr. Ellis as heartily as though their
present environments were reversed.
The circuit judges were all nominated
in harmony, some by contest, others by
acclamation, among whom was Mr.
Watkins, who will be our next circuit
judge. A number of prosecuting attor
neys were also nominated by acclama
tion, among whom was ours, Mr. Wil
son, whose election is also assured.
It did us good to' know that we were
going to have a chance to vote for one of
the presidential electors in the person
of a man whom everybody knows and
likes, and loves to hear talk, and can
enthuse the people more and quicker
than any man in Oregon, namely, Hon.
F. Caples.
We really took him away from Mult
nomah and nominated him on the out
side. And all the rest of the electors
were nominated enthusiastically. The
entire state ticket was nominated with
the best of feeling and harmony and
factional feeling had seemed to slink
away into the dark corners 'and hide
itself from public view.
The platform adopted was just such a
one as a harmonious republican state
convention was expected to make. It is
broad and liberal and represents the in
terests and principles that are calculated
to make a people prosperous and happy,
and invites all thinking men to stand
upon it. Your correspondent stood
upon the first platform that the repub
lican party ever had, and has stood upon
every one that it has made since, and
upon those platforms he has seen this
nation prosper as no other nation has
ever prospered. While the democratic
party went out at the end of James
Buchanan's administration under free
trade and secession, it has now taken over
thirty years to make -four years of prog
ress, in their line of progression we
hitch Cleveland's administration on to
Buchanan's, and it brings us op to 1865
Then Cleveland had but one well de
fined principle and that was free trade,
What progress ! The party went down
on free trade and secession and in
twenty-five years, it rose again on free
trade for the brief space of four years and
then dwindled and flickered and went
out again till now. Not so with our
side, it has advocated the advanced
principles that have made the nation
prosperous, respected and happy. So
let us stay with it, and we will get
there. H. Rice.
A Railway From The Dalles to Tacoma,
Hugh Glenn, who has been on a trip to
Portland, Seattle and Tacoma returned
home at an early hour last Tuesday
While in Tacoma Mr. Glenn had a long
conference with the leading men there
who are interested in what is known as
the Tacoma, Lake Park and Columbia
river railway company, a newly incor
porated company that already has
twelve miles of its road in successful
operation.- The new road will run from
Tacoma to The Dalles, traversing Pierce,
Lewis, Yakima, and Klickitat counties,
and cross the mountains by the Cowlitz
pass. It will run through what is said
to be the finest body of timber on the
Pacific coast, touch the coal fields north
of Mount Adams and open up to connec
tion with the Sound, as well as the
Columbia river, the immense grain
fields of Yakima and Klickitat counties.
The men at the head of the enterprise
seem to be thoroughly in earnest and
made anxious enquiries of Mr. Glenn
concerning the region south of The
Dalles with the view of a probable ex-
tenison of their road in that direction.
The new company claim that their line
would have many advantages over any
other route to the Sound in the matter
of competition for the traffic of the
country south of the Columbia river. It
would shorten the distance between
eastern Oregon and Tacoma, and would
give us another competing line to tide
water. We ouly hope the new enter
prise may materialize in the near future.
This is the best country in the world
anyhow but with proper transportation
facilities it would become still better. -
. An Unjust Criticism.
From a letter which appeared in Sat
urday's Ciibonicle headed "An Arbi
trary Rule," some fair minded citizen
might be led to believe that an injus
tice had been committed against . a
patron of our school. That such has
not been the case will appear when all
the facts are known concerning this par
ticular child's absence. For an absence
on March 14th she told her teacher she
went to see the train come in. On
March 18th she got a little mud on her
dress and said Bhe would not come. On
March 25th she wanted to stay at home.
On March 29th it rained a little but the
child was excused by the teacher.
April 8th the little girl came tardy. On
the day preceding this tardiness the
little girl's mother was at school, where
the teacher explained to her the condi
tions regarding the absence. No excuse
was oflered verbally at that time, nor
since in writing.
As to the "boy who plays truant or
absents himself to engage In a game of
hookey" we are of the opinion that some
other kind of punishment which would '
act more directly upon him would be
better. .
The rule itself I believe ia sufficiently
mild to meet the wishes of all good citi
zens who have the welfare of our school
at heart. M. W. Smith.
Letter from Mr. Thomas It. Coon.
The two following letters explain
themselves. The Chronicle, from its
own personal knowledge connrms tne
opinion of Mr. McCorkle. Mr. Coon is
gentleman of fine educational and busi
ness capacity, and ability, a true man in
every sense of the term, and one whose
reputation for honesty and probity, is as
broad as the circle of his acquaintance'.
We can pay him no higher tribute than ,
to say that he will get his largest vote
where he is best known. '
Tygh Valley Mills, April 11th.
Friend Oourlay, The Dalles:
The enclosed letter of Mr. Coon came
honestly into my hands, on my trip to-
the state convention, with the privilege
of using it, or any part of it, for publica
tion or otherwise. There is evidence
that Mr. Coon has ability, and that he Is
all right for an open river. Please notice
he endorses all the resolutions adopted
at the county convention. It is now
yours.
Yours truly for an open river and the
republican state and county ticket. It
is a strong-one. - W. M. McCorkle.
Hood River, Or.f April 4, 1892.
To the combined delegation to the Re
publican State Convention from Wasco,
Sherman and Gillam counties. -Gentlemen
: Inasmuch as my name
is likely to come before you as a candi
date upon the legislative ticket and.
since, by reason of sickness in my fam
ily, I shall probably be unable to attend
the convention, I have thought that
some statements from me would be
proper.
I should be glad to meet you face to
face and to discuss with you those ques
tions which you must take into account
in naming such parties on the legisla
tive ticket as will be acceptable to the
people in the coming election.
I will say to you in the first place that
nobody owes me anything politically. I
am not a politician and have no interests
to promote further than those which
take hold of all thinking men who de
sire the success of whatever is just and
right, and who insist upon things- clean
and practical in politics and legislation.
If I am in the field at all as a candi
date, it is because those who know me
best have desired to recommend me for
your consideration. For this evidence
of the good opinion and confidence of
my neighbors, I trust I am not ungrate
ful. I heartily endorse the various resolu
tions adopted by the county convention
of this county, and in the event of my
nomination and election. I assure you
that every just and proper measure will
receive my careful consideration and
conscientious vote, and I am satisfied
that I possess courage sufficient to stand '
by the interests of the people, of whom I
am one, all influence to contrary not
withstanding. In conclusion allow me to express the
hope that unity of purpose and harmonv
in action will characterize your labors in
the convention and that ours shall be the
Victory in June. Yours Very Truly,
- THOS. n. uoox.
