Special to The Chhoniclk:
St. Louts, June 17. 10 :15 a. m. The
convention hall is rapidly filling. The
silver men say today will be the great
, day of battle on the financial issue
While they are in a hopeless minority
they expect to impress their views npon
the country at large through their open
advocacy of free coinage. Hanna was
ereatlv cheered npon sight of the New
Vitrb HaWatAa an thnir entered the hall,
. 10:45 a. n. The chairman of the com
mittee appeared and stated the commit
tee was still in session and asked for
further time. By vote of the conven
tion they were given until this afternoon
to report.
11 :06 a. m. Ex-Senator Thurston
now takes the chair, which produces the
first general applause a of the session.
Hanna will attempt to rush through the
nomination of McKinley - and. close the
session today, but there will be a fight
on the committee of credentials report
and the adoption of the gold plank, and
the desired end will tail of its attain
meat.
. 11 a. m. Judge Foraker has agreed to
nominate Mr. Moiton, of New York', for
. the vice-president.
11:10 a. m. Senator Thurston has
just made a speech advocating a vigor
ous foreign policy and the upholding of
the Monroe doctrine. He outlined a
policy for the extinguishment of the na
tional debt, and the rehabilitation of the
merchant marine. Speaking upon the
financial question he said thatevery dol
lar whether gold, silver or paper
should have the same value as any in
the world. ' He reaffirmed the estab
lished Republican policy' of protection
and the more recent promulgation of the
principle of reciprocity. He was also
in favor of curbing the gradually accu
mulating power of the corporations.
(cheers.) At this point a large floral
shield marked .Nebraska" was pre
sented, which served, to interrupt his
speech. At its conclusion a tremendous
'volley of cheers rent the hall. The con
vention then took a recess until 2 p. m
' AFTERNOON.
St. Louis,June517. The convention re- I
assembled at 2 :45 p. m. The report of
the chairman of the committee on ere.
dentials recommended the seating of
Htggins from the delegation of Delaware
and John Grant of Texas. The roll call
as prepared by the national committee,
says the committee has examined into
the merits of 160 cases! It recommends
that the contestants have a hearing and
urges the hearing of the whole 160 cases,
and says in explanation that no man
knows what their papers contain. Mr,
' Hepburn, of Iowa, presented a minority
report. The credentials committee were
unwilling to accept the national com
mittee's report..

ly for -sound money. , It caused the!
enactment of the law providing for the I
resumption of specie payments in 1879;
since then every dollar has been as good
, as gold. . ' .,.'-.
!'We are unalterably opposed to every
. measure calculated to debase our cur
: rency or impair the credit of our coun
try. We are therefore opposed to the
V free coinage of silver, except by inter?
national ' agreement with, the leading

we pledge ourselves to promote, and tin
til Bach agreement can .be obtained, the

or paper, at ' the present standard, the
standard of the most enlightened nations
of the earth." . ' -'
Senator" Teller offered a free-coinage
resolution as a substitute, which was
voted down. . s
GONE TO THE FRONT.
Oregon
National Guardsmen Reached
, Astoria Yesterday.
Astoria, June 16. Colonel Summers
ith his command of seven companies
of the First regiment, 0. N. G., and two
3-inch and two Gatling guns, arrived on
steamer Qaeen about 10:30 this morn
ing. . . ..
Widely different views are expressed
by the people, to most of whom the ar
rival of militia was a surprise. Those
in favor of law and order have expressed
unbounded relief that protection has
I arrived. The
radical element of the
fishermen are
inclined to treat the mat
ter with ridicule and contempt.- On the
sidewalk in front of their headquarters
and in several other localities appears
the legend in chalk :
4K-CENT MILITIA.
The canneries this morning posted no
tices stating that they would pay 4)4
cents for fish, and guarantee protection
to those who want to go out.
Colonel Summers and bis aids, after
inspecting various localities, have ar
ranged to go into camp upon the court
bouse and custom-house squares, which
face each other in the center ot the city
on Commercial street. The county
officers have offered the use of their
rooms for headquarters purposes and
Collector of Customs Page has courte
ongly tendered the use of the custom
house. .
There were no incidents on the voy
age down tne river and no stops were
made until Astoria was reached. Colo
nel Summers and his aids were most
cordially received by the leading citi
zens and county officers.
Later The troops have just marched
down to the courthouse, preceded by the
baggage train, and have Commenced to
pitch camp,
That there will be fighting in case the
men attack the canneries, which at
tempt to start up is not doubted by
those well-informed on the situation
along the river. How well prepared
the fishermen are can only be surmised
mere nave been some very absurd re
ports to the effects that arms have been
shipped down the river within the past
few weeks, and that ammunition has
been furnished the strikers. The men
who desire to go to fishing at 4 or 4
cents, as has been offered, will fish un
der the protection of the militia and the
moment there is a contact between the
strikers and the military authorities the
outbreak will occur,
- The situation in Astoria last evening
was likened to "a charge of powder dan-
geronsly near a match," as it was ex
pressed by ' an up-river traveler this
morning. . .
As an evidence of the attitude of mer
chants of Astoria toward strikers, the
following harangue, delivered by one of
the most prominent storekeepers on
Commercial street to a group of rabid
strikers, was overheard in the crowded
rotunda of the postoffice, and it shows
what a dangerous feeling has been en
gendered toward outside interference:
"You're all Tight, boys, holding to
gether.- iion't Jet the cannerymen
combination down you. You have the
sympathy of the business public ; now
stick it out.- The cannerymen are with
in a half-cent of , your price, and they
willl be compelled to meet your figures
yet J Don't catch . fish ' nor let anyone
else fish on the Columbia river.. Fifty
of you fishermen can whip 200 of Port
land's crack militiamen any day." ,.

POPULAR SENTIMENTS
Senator Teller on the Floor of the Con
vention Say. Be I. Forced Out
. of the Party. .
St. Louis, June 18, 10 :20 a. m. The
platform has been presented to the con
vention by the committee on resolutions.
It declares for the single gold standard,
opposes the free coinage of. silver, favors
protection to American industries, op
poses the use of public money for sectar
ian purposes, favors" liberal pensions, is
for interposition for peace in behalf of
Cuba and for the restriction of foreign
immigration to those who cannot read or
write, ! . ' ."
Senator Teller was recognized by. the
chairman at 11 o'clock. He said if the
platform was accepted as read lie will be
forced out of the party by the adoption
of the plank relating to the single gold
standard, and said he might never ad
dress a Republican convention again.
The Illinois delegates have agreed - to
support Hobart of New Jersey for vice
president. . A strong impression now prevails that
McKinley and Morton . will be nomin
ated. ' ,
BEGINNING TO PACK FISH.
The Militia Affords Protection
' Salmon Canneries.
to the
Things are quieting down at Astoria,
according to a dispatch to The Telegram
from the seat 'of war yesterday afternoon
The militia is encamped in the custom
house and court house yard, and have
not been molested.
There is- less talk of .strike and less
sneering about a "4-cent militia," and
more evidences of business. The benefit
of the presence of the soldiers is begin
ning to be evidenced by the resumption
of operations by all the lower river can
neries. The . fishermen are going to
work unmolested. - .
A petition was. circulated in Astoria
last evening asking for the withdrawal
of the militia. .. The petition excited no
attention among the citizens of the
town. '
The dispatch to this paper this after
noon says that large numbers of men are
getting ready to go to work. It says :
"Most of the fish now being packed
are brought from the upper river, but
each cannery reports this morning that
their gill-net men are gradually giving
out, and tnere is every prospect that be
fore many days all the men who want to
fish will be openly' drifting on all sec
tions of the river. The large quantity
of fish now coming over from Baker's
bay are being caught by gill-net men,
whereas up to two days ago there was
not a gill-net in the water below Tongue
point." ..'...
A private letter received . from a mi
litiaman says they are comfortably en
camped, but that they are experiencing
tome .little difficulty in . accustoming
themselves to - hardtack, coffee . and
canned beef. '
Forty ronnds of ammunition were dis
tributed to each of the men before the
Harvest Queen landed at Astoria. '
By tomorrow it is thought between
200 and 300 fishermen will be operating
their nets. Sensational rumors were
puoiisned in tne morning paper ot an
attempt bv the influential cannerymen
to bribe the ; fishermen to compromise
and go to work at 4 cents. .
In connection with the presence of the
militia at Astoria it is interesting to note
the tone of the alleged news sheets of
the town and how they lash themselves
into aiurious excitement over the affair.
The reproduction in. miniature of the
headlines of the evening paper that the
authorities ordered to cease inciting the
fishermen by ' displaying sensational
placards reads aB follows :. . , s

Yokohama, June 17. News of a terri
ble earthquake, involving the . loss
Of
over 100,000 lives, has reached - here
from the island of Yesso, which" con
tains the northern provinces of Japan
including Shirebesse, Oshima, Fori
Hitaka, Tokachi, Ishikari, Kirschiro,
Tesbiwo, Kilami and Nemoro, All these
sections of the island seem to be in
more or less shaken condition. '
The subterraneous disturbance lasted
about 20 hours, and during that period
the utmost terror prevailed.
Ground rumblings are described as re
sembling the roar of distant cannon
Shock followed shock almost in uninter
rupted succession. In all it was es'ti
mated that 150 shocks occurred. It is
impossible at present to give accurate
details of the disaster, as communication
between the mainland of Japan and the
island of Yesso, from which the former
is separated by' the Straits of Tsugaru
Saigrrpi.i a interrupted, or more likely
in the hands of the authorities
The whole town of Kumaishi, how
ever, is reported as destroyed by a tidal
wava, which accompanied the earth
quake. ' The island of Yesso .has in the
past had several similar visitations, and
contains a number ot active and extinct
volcanoes.' '
Rumor has it that the number of lives
lost and the damage done is far in excess
of the figures contained in the first dis
patch. A full official report has been
asked for and :s expected shortly. It is
feared that disasters to shipping must
have resulted from the tidal wave,

St. Louis, June 16. Lodge'said today : ''
"There's no doubt that the gold plank
will be placed in the platform. All the
information we get today confirms yes-.
terday's statement that the gold men
are in the majority." '
Lodge and his aides, Murray, Crane :
and Cnrtiss Guild, betook themselves
among the doubtful delegates on the
convention floor and poured arguments
into their ears. They have a detailed
list' of men whose convention may be
possible and are training all their guns

-PROGRESS.
People who tret the greatest .
degree of comfort and real- en
joyment out of life, are those
who make the most out '
of their opportunities.
Quick perception and '
good judgment, lead such
promptly to adopt and
make use of those refined
and improved products of .
modem inventive genius
which best serve the
needs of their phvsical
being. 1 Accordingly,
the most intelligent '
and progressive people
are found to employ
the most refined and
perfect laxative to resr-
-ulate and tone up the
"stomach, liver, and .
x bowels, when in need
of soch an agent hence the frreat popularity
of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. These are
made from the purest, most refined and v
concentrated vegetable extracts, and from
forty -two to forty -fonr are contained in
each- vial, which is sold at the same price
as the cheaper made and more ordinary
pills found in the market. " In curative vir
tues, there is no comparison to be made be- '
tween them and the ordinary pills, as any
one may easily learn by sending for a free
sample, (four to seven doses) of the Pel
lets, which will be sent on receipt of name '
and address on a postal card.
QNCE USED THEY ARE ALWAYS IN FAVOR. .
The Pellets cure biliousness, sick and
bilious headache, dizziness, costiveness, or
constipation, sour stomach, loss of appetite, .
coated tonirue, indigestion, or dyspepsia,
windy belchings, " heart-burn, " pain and
distress after eating, and kindred derange- '
menta of the liver, stomach and bowels,
Put up in pi ass vials, therefore always
fresh and reliable. One little "Pellet"
is a laxative, two are mildly cathartic.
As a "dinner piU," to promote digestion,
take one each day after dinner. To relieve
distress from over-eating, they are ,un
equaled. They are tiny, ucrar-coated
granules; any child will readily take them.
