John Sven son, a fisherman, was found dead at Clifton this morning, with a bullet wound in his breast At first it was thought Svenson committed suicide, but Coroner Pohl's investigation now makes it appear that it was a case of murder instead. Svenson was the keeper of the scow from which a woman and two men, whose dead bodies were afterward fonnd, disap peared during the fisherman's strike, a few months ago.

FOREST FIRE RAQINO. Destruction Don on Washington Bid of Columbia, Astoria, Or., Aug. 81 A forest fire of immense extent raged tonight be tween Oak Point and Eagle Cliff, on the Washington aide of tbe Columbia. Many oattle have burned to death, the number being estimated at S00. All kinds of animals are dropping dead from the excessive beat Tbe amount of timber already de stroyed is estimated at from 10,000,000 to 20,000,000 feet All of the build ings at Benson's logging and lumber ing oamp have gone up in flames. A wall of flame three miles long, leaping to tbe tops of the highest trees, renders it impossible to get direct com munication to the scene of the trouble. A month ago a fire broke out in the same district, whioh, notwithstanding the reoent rainssmoldered and broke out afresh the other day. It is feared that many lives have been lost, as escape has been pr actu ally shut off. One man who watched the fire from a distanoe says he saw immense green trees licked up by tbe flames as if they bad been dry saplings. This is the worst blow this com munity haa ever received and it is doubtful whether tbe prinoipal loggers will be able to recover from tbeir losses. Benson's logging oompany is one of the largest institutions of the kind on the Columbia river. It owns aores of property, two locomotives, three don key engines, and a well-equipped tram way, with every modern device for handling the business. Sixty-five men are employed in tbe oamp. Tonight further advioea show tbat the fire now oovers ten square miles of valuable timber. Each square mile is estimated to ooutain between 20,000, 000 and 80,000,000 feet of timber, and it is thought tbat tbe loss already in curred on the stumpage alone is more than $10,000. The sight of the burn ing timber is a grand one beyond de scription. The noise of the flames,. the popping of the timbers as they succumb to tbe heat, the terrific-looking olouds of Are and smoke, and the showers of oinders falling in all directions make a truly awe-inspiring scene. TRIP IN AN AIRSHIP. Mayor Sutr.t InTlted to Take a Bide Through Space. San Franoisoo, Aug. 81. Mayor Sutro is constantly in receipt ot all kinds of invitations, but today he re oeived one of an unusual nature, whioh he will, no doubt, deoline with thankf. He is asked to take a trip in the air ship Christopher Columbus, whioh is 3hedulod (to leave tbe. roof of the Me chanic's pavilion September 1, and at tempt a flight to Saoramento. The in vitation is as follows: "San Franioisoo, Aug. 81. Hon. Mayor Sutro, New City Hall Dear Sir: I have entered my airship, Christopher Columbus, in tbe competi tion ot the Meohanio's institute, be tween the best and latest invented air motors, and I ask ihe honor of your presence in my airship on tbe after noon of that date, fiorn the roof of tbe pavilion to the dome of the state oapi tol at Saoramento. Do not be alarmed, as I guarantee a safe trip. I have asked Mayor Davis, of Oakland, to ao company us. I trust I may have your presenoe at an event whioh will go dJwn to history as one of the greatest aohieved wonders ot the nineteenth omtury. Yours respectfully, Carl Eriokson. " ANNEXATION OF HAWAII. Said to Be th Object of MlnUtet Willie' VUlt. Honolulu, Aug. 81. Minister Willis has resumed the duties of his offloe. It is rumored tbat his recent visit to Washington was for' a oonferenoe with President Cleveland on the annexation polioy. It is said President Cleveland empowered Willis to enter into nego tiations for either annexation, a mon archal form of government with Eaiulani on the throne, or an American protectorate, tbe cboioe of either form of goverment to be left to the people to settle by vote. Willis refuses to dis close President Cleveland's intentions until the return of President Dole, who is now absent on the island of Maui. A Battle With Indians. Wichita, Kan., Aug. 81.

Conna, of Pieroe; W. K. Ken nedy, ot Adams. Th Platform. "We, the Republicans of the state of Washington in convention assembled, reaffirm and renew our allegianoe to the principles of tbe Republican party, and indorse the declaration of princi ples as expressed by tbe national con vention held in St Louis, June, 1896. "We further pledge our earnest and united support to tbe nominees ot the Republican party for president and vice-president of the United States, William MoKinley and Garret A. Ho bart "We Indorse and commend tbe pru dent, wise and patriotio oonduot of publio affairs under the ohiet magis tracy of Hon. John H. MoGraw, and denounce as false and malicious the at taoks made upon our state administra tion from motives ot personal revenge, and for partisan purposes. "We reaffirm our confidence in the ability, probity and efficiency of Sena tor Jobn L. Wilson and Congressmen William H. Doolittle and S. C. Hyde. "We assert tbat the injuries to our industries and tbe wrongs inflioted upon our wage-earners, miners, arti sans and all laboring classes, and upon onr lumber, coal and agricultural in terests are chiefly attributable to the repeal of tbe MoKinley law and the abrogation ot our national prosperity rests upon a just application ot the principles of a protective tariff. "The Republican party is unreserv edly for sound mopey. It caused the ehaotment of the law providing for (he resumption of apeoie payments in 1879; sinoe then every dollar has been as good as gold. We are unalterably op posed to every measure oaloulated o debase our currenoy or impair the oredit of our oountry. We are, there fore, opposed to the free ooinage of silver, except by international agree' meut with the leading oommerolal na tlons of the world, which we pledge ourselves to promote, and until such agreement oan be obtained, the exist' ing gold standard must . be preserved. All our silver and paper ourrency must be maintained at parity with gold, and we favor all measures designed to maintain inviolably the obligations of the United States, and all our money whether ooin or paper, at the present standard of the most enlightened na tions of the earth. "We heartily ' approve the deolara tion of the Republican national con vention in whioh it pledges the Repub lican party to promote international agreement, and we hereby instruct our senator and representatives in oongress to earnestly oo-operate with the admin istration to that end. We believe that the patriotio oitizena of this nation will never entrust its monetary legisla tion to any party under the leadership of such men as Bryan, Tillman and Altgeld. - "The Republican party has always been mindful of its country's defend ers, and therefore favors the polioy of just and liberal pensions. "We believe that taxation should be no higher than is required for sufficient revenue to defray the aotual necessary expenses of the state; and we pledge ourselves to the most eoonomioal ad ministration of public affairs consist ent with their business-like manage ment. "We emphatically demand the en actment of such legislation as will se cure just and equitable freight rates to tbe producers of ,the farm and all in dustries of tbe state, awarding justice alike to tbe produoer and the common carrier. "We favor an appeal to the general government for an additional donation of two more sections of publio land in each township to be surveyed, the pro coeds from tbe sales thereof to be de voted to the construction and mainten ance of a system of publio roads. "We recommend such legislation, or amendment, to our fundamental law as will enable us to adopt the Torrens .ystem of registering land titles, at as early a day as the oondition of our pub- gent enfranchisement and immigration laws. "The principles set forth in the Cbi- i cago platform that it is not within tbe ! duty and province of the federal gov I ennnent, whenever and wherever neo i essary, to protect the lives and property : of all oitizens, we denounce as revolu tionary. "We reaffirm the doctrine of the founders of onr government that tbe safeguard of our liberties and our insti tutions rest upon its judicial tribunals; and we condemn as unpatriotic the im putations of tbe Democratic and Popu list platform that tbe decisions of tbe supreme judicial tribunal are governed by other than honest and impartial in terpretations of tbe law." I never think tbat be is quite ready for another world who is altogether wearr of this. Fuse Over a Canine Corpse, Baltimore, Sept 3. Dr. Amelia V. Fientje lost ber cky terrier, Roy, last week, and as she was very much at tached to the dog, she decided tbat it should have a funeral.

Ha Alr-ady Lost Two Million Dollars and settlement Not In Bight. Leadville, Colo., Sept 1. This is the seventy-fifth day of the strike, and marks the inoeption of the most import ant aotion taken on either side, as for jbe first time since long before the strike began, the great pumps in two of tbe leading mines, tbe Bonair and Penrose, are idle. Tbe order for stop page came yesterday afternoon and was obeyed at once. The movement means that the mine-owners hope to force tbe union to deo'are tbe strike off, or that they think to avoid trouble by dosing down on everytlhng and allowing tbe mines to fill with water, ratber than submit to the dictation of the union. Tbe strike has already oost $3,000,000, and tbere is nothing to indicate that it is any nearer settlement than on the day it began. Denver, Sept 1. Ivy Baldwin, tbe well-known balloonist, was seriously hurt late this afternoon by falling from bis balloon. Baldwin has been making weekly ascensions and parachute jumps, and today tbe wind carried him into a tree. -His arm was broken, and he oould not retain hold on tbe bar.

J Business in Portland shows a slight improvement, due in a measure to tbe turning off of many of the prinoipal crops. Wheat is moving at last, and cattle and sheep are bringing a great deal of money into the state. The fruit orop is rather light, but what there is is bringing good figures. Hops will be a small orop, but will bring a figure tbat will at least pay for the picking and leave a small margin be sides, whioh is a big improvement over last year.
