Spbixgfield, O., Sept. 10. Twenty
live thousand visitors were in the city
today 'at the opening of the republican
state campaign. The most distant por
tions of the Btate were represented.
Green county got the flag for the great
est delegation in line. Senator Sherman,
' Governor McKinley, Chairman Kurtz
and General Jones arrived at noon. Ex
Governor Foraker arrived at 11 o'clock,
and all lunched at General Busbnell's
home. The city was handsomely deco
rated. The parade started at 12 :30 p.

history had such a crowd. Speaking
began, at 2:30. J. P. Goodwin, of this
city, called for order and introduced Dr.
Ort, of Wittenburg college, of this city,
who offered prayer. Senator Sherman
was introduced by Chairman Day, and
was followed by General Bushnell, who
was followed by Governor McKinlev.
Ex-Governor Foraker followed McKin
ley. - General Jones, the candidate for
lieutenant-governor; Hon. James Hoyt,
of Cleveland, and State Auditor Poe, of
Columbus, spoke briefly.
After calling on Ohio republicans to
standby their principles in triumph as
they bad in adversity. - Governor Mc
Kinley presented an historical sketch,
zing that Ohio had established her
'right to be called a republican state.
He spoke particularly of the senatorial
elections. He said:
'From 1861 to 1869 the republicans
had two senators, Wade and Sherman.
This year, 1S95, we are going to resume
ourVightful place. Mr. Foraker will
- take the seat of Mr. Brice. Ohio repub
licans are united firmly and resolutely
on that proposition. The - republicans
are to be congratulated tbat(they have
so rival candidates for the United States
senate. We have no contest among our
selves. Our contest is -entirely with the
democratic party. We have; but one
candidate, and he enjoys the distinction
of having the indorsement of the last
republican state convention, and in
dorsement without division' or dissent,
unanimous and enthusiastic, and the
distinction is one which, so far as I can
maximum, temperature ranged from 58
to 76 degrees, which was from 10 to 15
degrees below those of the proceeding
week : the minimum temperature ranged
from 32 to 56 degrees, which was from 8
to 14 degrees below those of the week
previous. General rains occurred on the
3d, 4th, 5Ai and 6tb, and during the
afternoon and evening of the 8tb. The
rainfall amounted to from one-quarter
to nearly an inch.
Crops Much threatening weather
with rain having prevailed recently,
farmers are beginning to realize the
importance of securing the crops. Some
snow has fallen on the mountains and
frost has occurred in exposed places
There has not been sufficient rain to re
tard the progress in beading and thresh
ing. Heading is being completed in
many sections, and there is still much
threshing to be done. In Klamath
county very little threshing has been
one. In that county the grain crop is
comparatively small, but the quality is
extra good, the drouth riot having in
iured it, since irrigation contributed
largely to its success. In Klamath
county the harvest is considered back

large numbers in the fields, doing con

New York, Sept. 11. The regatta
committee of the New York Yacht Club
has sustained the protest entered by the
Defender in yesterday's lace. The com
mittee gives the race to the Defender.
After the hearing of the Defender's
protest was concluded, Lord Dunraven,
accompanied by Arthur Glennie, left the company does
operation throughout the Columbia val
ley counties east to the Walla Walla
valley, where it has reached a stage near
lv beyond the' reach of unfavorable
weather. Many graingrowers would ap
predate rain by which the soil would be
put in condition to plow for reception of
the fall seeding. In Wasco county
while the showers were detrimental to
threshing interests, all the threshers are
again at work. No change of any con
sequence has taken place in the fruit
shipments; they continue large, and the
quality continues excellent. The facil
ities for packing, securing and ehipping
the fruit crop are better this year,
There is a demand for the fruit sufficient
to' induce great activity among all and to
stimulate interest in its future growth
Many persons are turning their attention
to drying their fruit. Many have started
the drying of plums, but owing to a
deficiency of sunshine progress has been
Blow. There is a large crop of prunes
which are of superior quality. A large
large dryer has been erected at Cove,
Union county, for the drying of prunes
There is also a large crop of apples of
good quality. All fruits have done ex
ceedingly well. Since the rain the pota
toes have taken a second growth:: the
crop is thought to be very good in all
sections. There is still an abundance of
vegetables, though some were bitten by
the frost. Bunchgrasa on the range has
made some growth, though the range
still offers very little of subsistence for
stock. Cabbage is heading well and
melons and squashes are in abundance.
Good resalts are promised from the hops
that have been raised in Union county;

ship refused to say anything, but judging
from the 'expression on the faces of
Dunraven and Glennie, they were not
pleased.
Captain Sycamore, one of the com
manders of the Valkyrie, emerged from
the club-bouse 10 minutes later, but re
fused to discuES the subject.
The citizens of Sherman county are
making an endeavor to have a better
road into The' Dalles. Although they
have an outlet to the railroad at other
points, notably. Grants and Biggs, they
prefer to come to The Dalles because of
the increased market benefits, due to
competitive freight rates. They have
been patiently bearing the onerous bur
den of bad roads for these many years ;
but now think it is time for the county
courts of Sherman and Wasco counties
and the business men of The Dalles and
dwellers along the proposed road to be
stir themselves,' and not only talk of do
ing, but actually do something in the
direction ot better roads.' The people of
Sherman countv want to come to The
Dalies ; tbpy like to trade here. Ou
stores are larger ; their stocks of goods
more varied and complete, and' the
prices lower than at points on the rail

TRIED TO PROTECT THE PRISONER
Nkw York, Sept. . 11. The unfortu
nate accident in the second of the races
for the America's cup between the De
fender and Valkyrie III, by which the
the Defender, was crippled just before
the start yesterday, was the general
topic of conversation today among
yachtsmen. Scores of people called at
higher price for wheat than anv other
place east of Portland. Every condi
lion ior niamng ice mues the one
wholesale trading point of Eastern Ore
gon is present, except good roads,
. Merchants and business men of The
Dalles, you will have to do something,
Sherman county wants to trade with
you, but she justly asks that you give
her the necessary aid by building good
roads. A hearty concerted effort should
e made to secure appropriations from
the county courts of each county and
supplement them with generous contri
butions. Every dollar so invested will
bring ten dollars in return. Such op
portunities will not always last. They
had better be improved while they are
here. Following is the petition pre.
the New York Yacht Club house, on
Madison J avenue, to inquire about the pared by residents of Sherman county
decision of the committee on the Defend- for the building of the road :
er s protest, and ail were toiu tnat tne
regatta committee were discussing the
mature, and no decision would be rend
ered until evening, owing to the impos
sibility of hearing witnesses as early as
the committee would like.
The Defender and Valkyrie were towed
to Erie basin early this morning, and
men on each went to work scrubbing
their shinning under bodies as fast as
the water receded.
The Defender's injured spar was
taken out at the south end of the dock
where she lay, and a force of men at
once got to work to fit another topmast.
The one damaged yesterday was seen
to have a great section split off at the
point where the topsail strained it yes
Whereas, G. F. Guinther. C. W
Barzee, and other residents of Sherman
county, Oregon, have prepared and cir
ciliated a petition to the Hon. County

the republicans in Ohio.
'In the present political divisions of
the senate of the United States, which
are extremely 'close, a single senator
may determine the political complexion
of that body for years to come. It is the
purpose of the people of this country in
the next national contest to give the
republicans full power, and I firmly be
lieve it is ot the highest moment that we
inaugurate that work here in Ohio, and
this year make certain the election of a
republican United States senator. All
differences and divisions that have here
tofore existed should be swept awav now
and forever.
A Battle Fought.
New Yoke, Sept, 10. A special to tbe
World from Havana, under date of Au

There is a report about town that a
greafc battle hss been fought in Puerto
Principe and that the Spanish have been
defeated and the capital captured bv
the insurgents. It is said that a strong
force of Spanish troops left the city of
Puerto Principe to mage a bold attack

only to draw tbe Spanish into an am

Ohio a Unit for McKinley.
Cincinnati, Sept. 11. The political
sensation of today is the comments made
among politicians upon tbe pronounced
utterance of Governor McKinley yester
day in favor of ex-Governor Foraker for
senator, and his plea that special atten
tion be given the election of the legisla
ture. Those who are accustomed to
reading between the lines maintain that
the unexpected position of McKinley is
a part of tbe combination, and that it
meaus that Ohio will be a unit for Mc
Kinley for president.
A Two-Day Battle.
Key West, Sept. 12. Advices from
juoa via ine steamsnip Aiascotte says
that a great battle has been fought near
Camaguay between tbe insurgents nnder
Maximo Gomez, and the Spaniards
under General Mallo. The battle lasted
48 hours, and the Spaniards were re
pulsed with heavy loss. It is reported
had been the strain and how sturdy was
the stick, to stand it so well. The crack
went part way through it, but its tough
ness kept it from parting and even al
lowed the use of. the jib topsail on the
third leg of yesterday's race. Time
would not allow the making and fitting
of a new one, so a stick used by the
Colonia two years ago was pressed into
service. It was not as heavy as the
damaged one, and looks to be hardly as
good in quality, but that may be be
cause it is more weatherbeaten and not
dressed and varnished.
' The damaged spreader was also taken
out. Its outboard end appeared as if it
had been bitten or .gnawed oft.
After the Valkyrie's hull had been
scrubbed from bobstay . to rudder port
her men went to work with chamois
leather to make a good job better. Cap
tain Cranfield was disscusiing the inci
dent of yesterday with two cronies, but
nothing could tempt him to tfclk for

London, Sept. 11. With one exception
the London evening press today exhibit
a generous and sportsmanlike spirit in
commenting upon the outcome of the

Valkyrie and Defender for the America's
cup. AH express a wish that the race
be not given the Valkyrie on a mere

' The same spirit characterizes the talk
among yatchsmen. The fear. is. ex

by the Defender in. her crippled condi
tion has practically settled the contest
against the British yacht. ,
' Much talk is heard today of new yachts
to be built to meet the Defender if the
American syndicate's boat should come
over here, and to challenge for the
America's sup. In addition to the cut
ter to be built for the Prince of Wales,
jt is reported Lord Eosebery is likely to

cate is also ready to enter the list.
Ex-Governor Moody told a Chronicle
reporter Wednesday that he would like
to take to Salem the sample of hops
which grew on Max Vogt's farm, of
which mention had been several times
made. The governor said the people of
the Willamette valley wouldn't believe
that Wasco county could compete with
them in growing hops, and he wished to
convince them by practical argument
that Wasco can grew anything, and hops
especially. Mr. Moody took the hops
with him, and they excited much com
ment in Salem, as the following two ar
ticles from the Salem Statesman show :
Ex.-Gov. Moody brought to this rec
ognized center ot hop information yes-1
terday an armful of vines from the
farm of Max Vogt, on 15-Mile, in Wasco
county, and they were the subject of
considerable talk through the day, as
it is sometnmg new to hear of hops from
. u . r i t. .1 . .it . i
iuu rcgiuu, uui, mey will Btana com'
parison with those of almost any section
The governor brought Squire Farrar,
whose experience makes him a good
judge, and that gentleman declared
them excellent for a "baby" hop. He
spoke of their lack of any extra foliaee.
of the fact that they armed out well,
have a good burr and well filled with
lupulin. He could see no reason for
other than a good yield of excellent
quality from the yard out ot which they
came. This shows that-Eastern Oregon
will soon become a candidate for the
hop-buyers' solicitude and the hop
growers' sympathy. j
When ex-Governor Moody came down I
from The Dalles Wednesday he broucht
some very nne samples of hops grown
in Wasco county. They are from a ten
acre field that was not even polled, but
tne nops are oi good quality and rich in
"grease," snowing that tbe hop indus
try is one capable of being developed in
Wasco. Tbe soil and climate of that
section are apparently well adapted to

Mr,
Currant's Coonael Admit That tbe De
fendant and Blanche Ltmwt
Were Together the Daj
She Disappeared.
Sax Feascisco, Sept. 12. This morn
ing's'testimony in the Durrant case was
good for tbe prosecution, and evidence
was introduced directly connecting the
prisoner with the murder 'of Blanche
The first witness was Richard Charl
ton, a grocer, who testified that he had
weighed Blanche on an average once a
month during her stay in the city. The
last time he weighed her was on March
27 or 28. Then she weighed 118 pounds.
The greatest weight she attained was
121 pounds. Her average weight was
jio pounds, ibis was considered a
triumph for the prosecution, as showing
that such a light weight could be easily
carried or dragged up to the belfry by
Durrant. The" defense had tried to show
that her weight was 140 pounds.
Henry S. Halmount, a conducter on
the Sutter-etreet cars, testified that on
April 3 Durrant and Blanche Lamont
had got on his car at tbe corner of Mis
sion and Jimth streets. Durrant sat
with his arm on the top of tbe seat back
of.Blanche, and seemed on very familiar
terras with her. -
The witness was as excellent one for
the prosecntion, of the Sam Weller type.
He resisted all efforts of the defense to
break down bis testimony. He . bad all
his time schedules so firmly fixed in his
mind that no cross-examination could
fluster him. He said he identified
Blanche by her picture published in tbe
papers after her disappearence, and had
identified .Durrant at the city hall and
again as the defendant now in court,
Liurrant and Misa J.amont Jelt tne car
at tbe corner of Sutter and Polk, taking
transfers to the Polk-street cars. He
said Durrant and Blanche appeared to
be very jolly together. .
Herman J. Scblerger, a medical stud
ent and class-mate of Durrant, testified
that he knew Durrant well. He had
seen him on tbe morning of April
He noticed him first on the corner
Ninth and Mission stieets. He was ac
companied by Blanche Lamont. Dur
rant had previously told him the girl
was Blanche Lamont. He had frequent
seen tnem together. At tbe corner
of Webster and Sutter streets witness got
off the car to go to tbe medical college,
Afterwards Durrant asked the witness if
he remembered meeting him with
Blanche on that day. ' Durrant said at
that time Blanche had disappeared and
he (Durrant) feared that she had gone
into a house of ill-fame. Durrant had
remarked that Blanche was an innocent
girl and that he had led her astray.
The witness answered all questions
with marked reluctance, evidently try
ing to protect his fellow-student as far
possible. Several times in response
questions the witness seemed on the
verge of a disclosure, but always checked
himself in time. He was a good wit
ness, however, for the people, in spite of
himself.
Tbe next witness was S. W. Horton, i
reporter, who testified that he had in
terviewed Durrant on the night after
his arrest. Durrant told him Tne had
taken the Sutter-street car with Blanche
Lamont. ,
Defendant's counsel had been shifting
uneasily in their chairs, and now' said
they would admit that Blanche, and
Durrant had been together on the day
8hedissappeared.
