COUSKI'M. f'hlcaKo, June 9.
The Itepublican hosts received the
report of the harmony conference to
day without enthusiasm, and prompt-'
ly started to nominate Presidential
candidates. Senator Snioot. reading
the report, mentioned Roosevelt's
name. It evoked sporadic applause
lasting a minute and u half.
An attempt to have Roosevelt In
vited to address the convention was
forestalled. The unanimous consent
of the convention was necessary to
consider the resolution. Chairman
llardlni; said the harmony committee
would continue Its work.
(lovernor Whitman nominated
''llTles K, Unfiles. He mentioned
ex-Prcsldent Tail's name and was
Interrupted by five minutes cheering.
Governor Whitman finished his
speech at 12:1:! o'clock, when u vio
lent demonstration lasting L'n min

joined them.

14 minutes demonstration followed.

Haunting will probably not b?sin
until late this afternoon. The con
vention stated It would nominate a
President nnd Vice-President before
adjourning tonight, although leaders
doubted its ability to adhere to the
program strictly.
The Hughes demonstration, al
though comparatively brief, was the
biggest ami noisiest of any in the lie
publican roincntlou thus far. Cov
ernor Whitman i harm terlzed Hughes
as sterling in Republicanism, free
frum factional strife, his p:late life
above suspiilon. bis public life with
out a flaw, a great lawyer, an effec
tive campaigner, an able executive,
and a mature statesman.

and their platform until 1 o'clock.
and then adjourned until 3 o cloc k.
The radical delegates strained at the
leash, desiring to nominate Roose

the blame for a further breach upon
the Uepubllenns.
Colli conference committees re

did not a t on their report.
Senator llorah entered the Pro

the fugitive secured his rifle, in-1
jeeted a shell into the barrel of the
weapon and pointed the same at Mrs. 1
Jones. Kearins that her hushind
would can y out his threat, she
hastened to the homo of neighbors. 1
Jonis thva Ic it his ranch und walked
down the rotid to where 1'rivett was

Jones asked him to come out to the
road in order that they might talk
over some matters bet w een thein
sehes. i'rivett noticed that Jones
was armed with a rille. and he re

TRUNK RAILROAD IS PROPOSED
leave Portland Tomorrow for San

"1 will ask nothing from Koseburg
except the co-operation and good will
of the people there," was the state
ment of W. J". Wilsey. of New York.
In a telephone conversation with the
Review at noon today with refer
ence to the proposed construction of
a ruilroad which will conned Itose
burg with Marshfield him) other
Coast cities.
"1 arrived In Portland Thursday
night," said Mr. fcVllsey over the
telephone, and I expect to remain
here until tomorrow afternoon. I
will then leave for New York, accom
panied b Mi. Perkins. Kuroute
there we will stop at San l-'ram is.-o,
Chicago and other cities of Import
ance. 1 passed most of the morning
with Mr. Perkins and he has advised
me that the people of Koseburg are
desirous of having their country de
veloped and are rady to lend their
co-operation to that end. in the
event the syndhute which I repre
sent decides to constrm t t he pro
posed railroad It will not be conliued
to a Hue between Marshfield and
Koseburg, but will extend far Kast
and connect with one of tho trans
eontlnenlul roads. While I under
stand that the people of K oho burg a
few years ago -voted bonds with
which to nld in constructing a rail
road from your city to the Coast, the
money that would be available from
these bonds would not be of interest
to our company. In fact, we will
ask nothing from the people of Kose
burg except hearty co-operation i.l
securing the rights of way and work
ing out other preliminary details. In
Coos County 1 found the people anx
ious to aid in the project, and It Is
my opinion that the road wlil Ik
built as proposed. Coos County has
a variety of resources which can b
developed at reasonable cost. 'I b
chief source in Douglas County It
timber, and consequently what you
need is a railroad extending :ru:n
Home point in the Middle V. -I to
tidewater. Such a railroad would
furnish the means whereby your logi
and finished lumber can be haadlej
at the least possible cost.
"I have known Mr. Perkins for
several years ami he is well known
to the syndicate I represent. I have
the utmost confidence in bis ability
and believi his Judgment In matters
such as the one at Issue is good. He
has Informed me that there is a
world of limber in Doiiulas Copnly.
nnd that Its removal is being retard
ed on account of a tack of transpor
tation facilities. Coos County was
until recently confronted by a simi
lar situation. I left Marshfield early
Thursday and arrived here that
night. I Immediately got In touch
with Mr. Perkins and a lengthy con
ference followed this morning. As
a result of thai conference, I believe
the people of Koseburg can look for
ward to the construction and opera
tion of an east ami west trunk line '
I Mr. Wilsey represents an Knglish
syndicate and Is well known lo A.
C. Marsters, .1. II. Koodi and oilier
local capitalts. In addition t
making many investments in the
West for the people be represents,
be was piohably the chief fa-tor in
, bringing about the completion of the
j Willamette Pacific Kai!road This
railroad col $ I I .nun. nun, and ex
' tends from Kugene to Marshfield.
When asked us to whether or not
his company would u.-w any of the
Mirveys previously made in D ug a ;
County. Mr Wilsey said that w;i4
something that could not be deter
mined at this time lie tniinuit d.
however, that he was well in ton h
with the lay of the land here nnd m
difficulty would ! encountered in
electing a route.
In the event Mr. Wilsey and Mr.
Perkins start to New York loa orro'
as planned. Ihev wi l probably ie
main there several week.
