Ap-
DECLARE THEIR INDEPENDENCE

lMta to Indorse Toll,r Will
Continue Tuelr Work.
St. Louis. June 19. The silver men
continued in conference today and re
port that they have the signatures of 26
delegates to tLeir declaration of Inde
pendence, which sets forth their prin
ciples and recommends thut all parties
and organizations opposed, to the gold
standard unite in supporting Teller for
president.
There is a strong effort being made to
get the delegates who did not withdraw
from the convention to sign this appeal
to the people. There has been confer
ences with representatives of the Popu
lists and bimetallic league to get them
to indorse Teller and have such a strong
fusion against the gold standard as to
induce the Democratic notional conven
tion to aleo indorse Teller.
The sil ver bol ters have been conferring
during night and day with ex-Governor
Francis and members of the Democratic
. national committee relative to their ac
tion. They have no assurance from the
Democratic managers, but have been in
vited to send representatives to the
Democratic national convention at Chi
caeo next month to confer with the
party.
The silver men say they are willing to
co-operate wherever they can consist'
ently do so to defeat the gold standard,
and are not seeking to press Teller so
much as they are to secure relief from
the power of the gold men. The silver
men will continue in conference tonight
and tomorrow, and keep np the work
till all the national conventions have
been held with a view to perfecting a
general fusion. The silver conferees
claim they have not yet more than half
the signatures that were promised
There is a difference of opinion among
the silver delegates, some of whom de
nounce the gold standard, but are not in
favor of an independent movement.
COMING TO CANTON.
Vast crowds of People Flocking to Mc
Kinley's Home. ,
Canton, O., June 19. The Canton
party from St. Louis will be home to-
night. The New York McKinley League
will probably reach here this evening
also. According to a telegram from
Cleveland this morning, ten trainloads
of people are arranging to come to
Canton from that city within a few
days. Railroad men sav that dozens of
trainloads of people have contracted to
stop at .Canton on their way home fr
St. Louis to the East.
The Pittsburg office of the Western
Union reports that there were congratu
latory telegrams piled several feet high
in the office. Several thousand have
' been received by McKinley, the rush- be
ginning even before the nomination was
announced. , .
Major Strong of New York wired
"New York will ratify your nomination
in November by giving yon the largest
majority ever given to a presidential
candidate.''
Ex-Senator Dolph of Portland, Or.
"I congratulate you upon your nomina
tion and certain election."
Barrett A. .tlobart, the vice-presi
dential nominee, wired from St. Louis
"Accept my hearty congratulations, and
those of the New- Jersey delegation.
juciuniey replied : l . sena you my
cordial congratulations, and wish you
might visit me on your way home.'
. Governor McKinley shows no sign' of
nervous strain, and is the most natural
and composed of anybody about the
household.
The beautiful lawn and flower-beds in
front of the McKinley home show the
devastation of the surging thousands
who trampled the life out of them last
night. The enthusiastic visitors plucked
all the flowers from a half-dozen beds.
The fences did not escape. ' In the great
crush last night, which lasted nearly
seven : hours, many women fainted,

, St. Louis, June 19. When . Senator ;
Teller was asked about the movement to
place mm in the field as an Independent
candidate for the presidency, he de
clined to discuss it or to say whether
he would accept or decline.'
"It is," he eaid, "a movement with
which I have had nothing to do, and
which I have not encouraged. I do not
therefore feel called upon to discuss it
and shall not do so at the present time.
The senator received over a hundred
telegrams during the afternoon. Most
of them were from Western states, but
there were some from Pennsylvania and
two or three from New York and New
England states, a large majority of them
indorsing the course taken, but some
condemned it.
One message from Ohio said:
"I do not regard you as a representa
tive Republican."
Upon reading this aloud tethia friends
the senator remarked :
"I aeree with him, but I don't see
why he should eo to the expense of . a
telegram to tell me what I already know
Mr. Teller will spend several days
with his mother in the northern part of
Illinois before proceeding to his home in

SlOO Reward SIOO.
The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there - least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly-
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the

THE MILITIA RETURNS.
Astoria Girls Were Sorry to

Soldier Boys LeaTO.
Astoria, June 21. Members of
the
National Guard, to the number of
350,
left for Portland this evening, leaving
two companies of infantry and 20 men
from battery A, with two Gatling guns,
in this city. While there is general re
joicing over the adjustment of the differ
ences between the cannerymen and the
fishermen, the departure of the militia
is much regretted. During their short
stay here, the boys in blue, by their gen
tlemanly demeanor, made many warm
friends, who would eagerly have em
braced an opportunity to extend hospi
tality, had it been possible to enable the
men to mingle freely with the citizens.
None Bat AVer's at the World's Fair.
Ayer's Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra
ordinary distinction of having been the
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the world's fair, Chicago. Manufact
urers of other sarsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain a showing of their
goods, but they were tall turned away
under the application of the rule for
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. The decision of the
world's fair authorities in tavor of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows :
'Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is not a patent
medicine. It does not belong to the
list of nostrums. It is here on ' its
merits.",
The Fishermen's Strike is

Astoria, June 20. At a meeting
Of

Militia Called Oat at Roseburc.
Roseburg, Or.June 20. Upon request
of the mayor, Governor Lord ordered
out the militia here last night to protect
prisoner James Dixon, who shot and
killed Charles Rice, on the 14th .from the
mob who, hearing that the jail was well
guarded did not come. Sheriff Cathcart
took the prisoner to Eugene tor safe
keeping on the nothern bound overland
Having walked a short distance Cathcart
signaled the train and getting aboard
with his prisoner, was soon beyond
the reach of the would-be lynchers. -
The first intimation that an attempt
would be made to lynch Dixon was last
night, when John iron, a brother of
the mnrderer,rode into Roeeburg and in
formed the sheriff that a large mob was
forming at Blakesley ', the scene of the
crime, with the intention of proceeding
to Roseburg and demanding the prisoner,
xne inerin ana nis deputies at once
made preparations for defending their
charge, but at last, fearing that the mob
would be too Btrong for them to cope with,
a consultation was held with the mayor
of the pity, which resulted in a request
being made upon Governor Lord for aid.
The crime for which Dixon ia await
ing the trial was the murder of Charles
Rice at a ball game near Blakeeley's on
Sunday last. . .'
The two young men were old enemies,
and their quarrel was reopened over . a
decision concerning the game, . when
after a few hot words ' between them,
Dixon drew a revolver end fired twice at
Rice, both shots taking effect, : and re

Discovered In a Kanacka Settlement in
, -' ; Toole County.-'
Salt Lake, .June -20. The ' Herald
prints a story this morning saying'1 that
several well-developed cases of leprosy
have been . discovered in the Kanacka
settlement of Josepba, in Toole county
about 70 miles west of this city. A rep
resentative of ' the - Herald ' visited the
little settlement and found leprosy prev
alent in the Peters family, a 16-year-old
girl named Bessie being the most seri
ously afflicted. Her limbs are shriveled
beyond description and covered with
the "maculosa," or white blotches,
which mark the eruptive form of the
malady. Several other cases were die
covered in the - settlement, but in a less
developed stage. The inhabitants of the
settlement were very reticent, and
was difficult to get particulars touching
the other cases. The county authorities
are taking measures for a thorough in
vestigation. .Bishop Uiun, who lives in
the vicinity, admitted that leprosy had
prevailed there fer some time, but de
nies that it is contagious. He says he
has lived with the lepers here and on
the island for some years, and has no
far of taking the disease..

Furious.'
. New Yobk, June 22. The American
three-masted schooner Mabel Hooper, of
Rockland, Me., which bas just arrived
in this harbor, brings, news of freBh
atrocities by the- Spanish troops in
Cuba. '.
The Hooper sailed 10 days ago from
Sagua, on the northern coast of Cuba,
and in Santa Clara province. While at
that port the American consul told the
captain of -the Hooper, in substance,
this story ,
"The Spanish commander of the post
there had orders from Havana to see to
it that all the tobacco . planted near
Sagua should be taken to tbat.citv. A
large tobacco plantation, about three
miles south of Sagua, is owned by Mr.
Gonzales, said to be an American citizen.
The' Spanish - commander summoned
Gonzales to his headquarters, and asked
why be had failed' to comply with the
captain-general's proclamation. Mr.
Gonzales explained that the Spanish
troops had taken all his horses and
cattle, and he could not cart, his to
bacco. -
" 'I am satisfied with your explana
tion,' said the Spanish commander, 'you
may return to your plantation !'
"The Spaniard then sent for a young
lieutenant, and instructed him to take a
guard and escort Mr. Gonzales to his
plantation. Upon his arrival at the
plantation Mr. Gonzales was met by his
wife and their five small children.
'You may -nter your house,' said
the lieutenant, 'and yon will remain
there until I send for yon.'- -
"Shortly afterward the soldiers piled a
lot of dry grass and shavings about the
house and set fire to it. The smoke soon
compelled the family to, leave, and as
they walked out of the rear door, the
front of the building being in flames, all
were shot down. . , . '
'The lieutenant reported to his com
mander that Gonzales and bis family
had tried to escape, and were shot be
cause they disobeyed orders in leaving
the house. General Gomez arrived near
Sagna some days later at the bead of an
army said to have numbered 10.000.
When he learned how the Spaniards
had killed Mr. Gonzales and his family
he became furious."

him. On opening his barn door he was
knocked down with clubs. Staggering
to his feet he triad to resist his assail

rear by the eecond man. His skull was
crushed and four ribs broken. When
be was unconscious the ruffians went
through his pockets without finding the
money. " -
They returned - to the house and de
manded .that Mrs. Bolley inform them
where the money was. She refused jto
do so, and after beating her in vain they
held her over a natural gas blaze until
she could not endure the torture longer.
Blackened and blistered and covered
with bruises, she was compelled- to re

Bolley will die, and there is little chance
of his wife's recovery. - The robbers

MORGAN'S BITTER COMMENT.
Be Criticises Cleveland's Action
in the
Cuban Matter.
Washington, June 22. It is with no
little concern that the president and
Secretary OIney are awaiting the confi
dential report' from Consul-General Lee '
on the situation in Cuba. Until the
reports have arrived, the' authorities
will not, of course.discuss their probable
action upon them. '
It may be stated that the situation
will have to be very grave and the
emergency great to induce the presi
dent to interfere in the Cuban affair at
the present time. The president has
been unmindful for some ' weeks past
that the time was not tar distant hen
the United States, in the interest of its
citizens and humanity, might find it
necessary to interfere. However, he is
most anxious to stave off action as long
is possible.
Applause in Church.
Chicago. June 22. The congregation
at the People's church, McVicker'a
theater broke ont with applause several
times during the course of Dr. Thomas' ,
sermon Sunday. He was speaking of
the cause of Cuba. It was while dwelling
on this point that the big congregation
interrupted by cheers and handclapping.
He said :
"The slaughter of Christians in Arme
nia and the buchery of patriot Cubans by
Spain seems terrible to the present age,
because of its nobler humanity. -
It is not right that the Turks should
massacre the Armenians ; the powers of
the world abonld step in and stop it.
It is not right that Spain should crush
patriots in ' Cuba, and the country
should send forth an army and navy to
stop it. I wish that the plank in the .
Republican platform bad gone forth as
it was first published."
