He Dralsed the Administra tion for its conduct of the war and Its treatment of the people of the -acquired territory, -declaring absurd the claim that tho Conetitut-on of its own .force extends to them. Said he: Ii in tne case or Porto Rico, heeding the suggestion of the President. Congress dealt with that Island on tho most humane and liberal and loyal terms. Congress re moved So per cent of the tariff duties, and by the same act empowered the legislative body of Porto Rico to remove the remain ing 15 per cent, whenever they see fit, thus granting free Intercourse at their op tion, and in the meantime giving for their benefit every dollar of all taxes that have been or shall be collected. Tho history of the world reveals no such magnanimity to any outlying territory, people or pos session as ha thus far been exercised by the United States toward Porto Rico. "The 19th century has been made the most illustrious century of time by three unparalleled achievements: "First Tho declaration and establish ment of free government by civilized, en lightened men George Washington, Thom as Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton. James Madison and the Continental Army. "Second The demonstration of the abil ity and capacity of such a form of govern ment for ultimate survival Abraham Lin coln, U. S.

"Third By actual demonstration the ul tlmate survival of such free government retains integrity, even In the severest of selfishness and prejudice and clamor President McKinley and a righteous public eentlment."

The majority of the State Central Com mittee selected are my friends, and the attempt Just prior to adjournment to make a majority of the state committee antl-Cullom by the addition of five new members was overwhelmingly defeated. Some of my friends desired that I should ask foe an Instruction by the convention, but I stated that all I desired was a dignified Indorsement, which was given me with the declaration that it was tho sense of the convention that I should be returned to the United States Senate. I could not ask for more. I took no part in the contest for Governor, and regard the nomination of Judge Yates as a very excellent one." EASTERN MULTNOMAH. Seven Tons of Cheese Each Month Heavy School Tax. GRESHAM, On. May 9. The Gresham Cheese Factory has doubled Its capacity since the beginnings of Spring, and Is using all the milk that can be had In the surrounding neighborhood. It is under the management ot Charles Lewis, a ca pable man, who has had large experience in the manufacture of cheese, and he has given the products of the Gresham fac tory such a reputation that the demand exceeds the supply to such an extent that nil the cheese is sold in Portland with out having to be shipped elsewhere. The output Is now 500 cheeses a month, with a total weight of 14,000 pounds. The milk is furnished by 26 .farmers in the vicinity, several of whom are. stockholders in the CQncern, and for it they receive cents per 100 pounds. For buUer-fat the price is 20 cents per pound. The cheese brings 12 cents a pound wholesale, and retails readily for 15 cents. The whey is sold for pigfeed at a contract price of 3 cents per 100. This month's payroll exceeded 51200, which is all distributed in this cec- .tlon. Much more milk can be used, as tne capacity of the factory can be In creased to any extent. Good cowfeed is plentiful here at all times, especially clo ver hay, and the farmers are all Increas ing their herds as fast as possible. Heavy School Tax. The property-holders, of Gresham school district. No. 4, nave voted a tax of 50 mills upon the dollar, all to be paid this year for the purpose of erecting- a new school house. The school Is run without any tax, as the state apportionment is suffi cient for all expenses, and It was con sidered "best to levy a tax and pay for a new building at once than to bond the, district. The present term will be out In June, and it Is the Intention to put np the new building during'the Summer vacation. There are now 1S6 pupils enrolled, with an attendance- of nearly two-thirds. There are three teachers employed, all of whom, have, taught in this school for nearly five years. They are: Principal, H. R. Wln chell; intermediate. Miss Hattlo Pierce; primary, Mrs. Clara Anderson. All have been re-elected for next .year. Cedar Post Industry. The shipping of split cedar posts to the eastern country, over the. O. R. & N., forms quite an industry at Troutdale. The posts are made in Powell "Valley and vicinity, and bring 4 cents apiece, loaded on the cars. S. S. Logan Is the shipper, and now has two boxcars loading. The posts are made of the best timber avail able, and will be used for barbed-wire fences In Eastern Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Running; Ties. Tie-running from three sawmills on tho Sandy was begun on Sunday last, the re cent heavy rains having furnished a stage of water which greatly facilitates the work. About 100,000 ties are now in the river, and it will take about two weeks to get them all to Troutdale, where tho endless-chain elevator will land them on the cars. Several gangs of men aro em ployed as the ties have to be followed all tho -way down to, keep them off the shore. Shut Down for Logs. Cone's mill at Troutdale was shut down on Saturday last to await the arrival of more logs from up the Sandy River, where they now have nearly 1.000,000 feet. If tho high water continues, the mill will be able to resume operations In a short time. If not, the shut-down will be for an Indefinite period. The yard is full of excellent lumber, which Is being seasoned for future shipments. Brief Notes. Joseph McMlllen, foreman on J. H. Hall's farm.

THE POPULIST TICKET (Continued from First Past.) Allen's motion and its seconding, the speaker's voice was faintly heard calling on those delegates who favored the mo tion to rise and remain standing. As one man the convention arose, hats, canes, umbrellas and flags were waved In the air amid deafening cheers, the uproar be ing Increased by the band playing "Old Hundred." Some enthusiastic delegates tore Icose a large picture of Mr. Bryan hanging in front of the speaker's desk, and hoisted it to the table, where, cheering for Bryan, they held It while the convention applaud ed frantically. "I propose three cheers for William J. Bryan." cried Georgo F. Washburn, of. Massachusetts. They were given with a will, and the convention then quieted down. "I announce the nomination by a unani mous vote of William Jennings Bryan CHARLES Sf NOMINATED FOR VICE-PRESIDENT BY THE rOPULIST NATIONAL CON VENTION' AT SIOUX FALLS YESTERDAY. for President of the United States," said Chairman Patterson, as soon as he could be heard. Another cheer greeted this announce ment, and then the delegates settled in their seats for the fight over the question of a Vice-Presidential nomination. "The next thing on the programme," said Chairman Patterson, "is, according to the rules adopted, to take action re garding tho -nomination of a Vlce-Prest, dent." Vice-Presidential Nomination. Instantly there was confusion. The one point upon which the convention could ex pect a flght was before it. There wero loud cries of "Pettlgrew." but the chair recognized, E. Gerry Brown, of Massachu setts, who moved that the convention pro ceed to nominate a candidate for Vice President by ballot. There were numerous seconds from the body of tho convention, and Senator But ler, of North Carolina, made a seconding speech from the platform. Washburn, of Massachusetts, offered an amendment to tho motion of Mr. Brown, that five names be selected as men accept able to the Peoples party and that a com mittee bo sent with these names to confer with the Democrats and Silver Republi cans at Kansas City, July 4, with the understanding that the name selected at that conference should be tho nominee of tho Peoples party for Vice-President. General Weaver, of Iowa, offered as a substitute for the motion of Mr. Brown and the amendment of Mr. Washburn that it was tho sense of the convention that no nomination be made at the present time. He desired that a committee of one man from each sate should proceed to Kansas City for conference, and that If no man acceptable to the Peoples party was se lected at the conference, tho committee should select a nominee. Jerry Simpson offered a substitute to tho amendment of General Weaver pro viding that If no man was agreed upon at the Kansas City ponference, the National committee should select a candidate. Then came a long argument over amendments, substitutes, amendments to amendments, and the convention became tangled up in a maze of parliamentary proceeding. Mr. Brown, of Massachusetts, offered to with draw In favor of the Simpson amendment his original motion of pushing the con ventlon to a vote, but it was ruled that the motion had been made the subject of debate, and could not be withdrawn. Senator Butler then moved to proceed to the nomination of Vice-President, "if the chair rules that the original motion Is still before the convention." "The original motion is before the house." ald Chairman Patterson. "Then," said Senator Butler. " I hope the conven tion will never put it behind it." (Cheers.) Tho Senator, hoarse, but determined against postponing action and waiting on DON'T LOSE YOUR It Is far easier to register this week than it will be to find six property-owners to "swear in" your vote on election day. Don't disfranchise yourself. Only four days more remain in which to register. Remember that the registration now is for the November election as well as the state election next month. Don't lose your vote for President the decision of the Democratic party, ar gued earnestly for the nomination of a candidate for Vice-President. "If the Peoples party Is sacrificed." said i he, "then Teform dies." (Cries of "No, no. not for one day.") "We must not cruci fy the party under the mistaken idea that this is the best way to elect TWlllam J. Bryan. This Is the Peoples party conven tion, and by the Eternal It shall continue to be (cheers), and let me tell you. if the Democratic convention goes into New England and puts a man on the ticket like Sewall. the battle is lost right now." (Cheers.) Senator Allen was then recognized to speak against the proposition to nominate. "We propose to take counsel of wisdom, that's all." he began- "We will leave the question open until such time as the com mittees from the Populist and Democratic parties agree on a candidate. If possible i a candidate who will stand squarely on tho platform of the Peoples party. Isn't that wisdom?" (Cries of "No, no," and "Yes, yes.") ? Howard S. Taylor, of Illinois, made an impassioned appeal in favor of an immedi ate nomination, and urged that Charles A. Towne be the nominee, calling him the "Chevalier Bayard of 1S26-" "There could be no more fitting running mate for Mr. Bryan." said Mr. Taylor. "Now;" he continued, "I am going to tell an open secret. All Democrats know It. Three months ago the Democratic official leaders were saying all over the coun try: "We want you Populists to have the second place on the ticket.' The Demo crats were willing, and are now willing today to have Bryan and Judge Caldwell. Now, what In heaven's name renders Towne an unfit substitute for CaMwell? I'll tell you why they do not want Towne. It Is because he represents too fully the principles of the Chicago platform. They want a more moderate man." Mr. Taylor made an able pica for his man, and was enthusiastically cheered as he finished. George F. Washburn was then recog nized, and before he could speak a delegato from Kentucky made the point that tho time of the afternoon session had expired. It was immediately moved to suspend the rules, but the motion was lost on a stand ing vote, and Chairman Patterson accord- A.' TOWNE. - . lngly announced an adjournment until S P. M. Row at the Evening Session. At S:10. Chairman Patterson called the conventlcn to order and recognized Mr. Washburn, who spoke at come length In favor of his plan of submitting a list of Ave men for Vice-President. v He yielded the floor to General Weaver, wh3 told the convention that it was will ing tor be an ally of the Democratic party, but wished to do all the dictating to those allies, Instead of working in concert with them. He told the delegates repeat edly that they would make a grave mis take by nominating a Vice-President with out consulting with the Democratic party. E. Gerry Brown, of "Massachusetts, urged harmony, but Insisted on naming a complete ticket. Edward S. Groce, of Michigan, was. then recognized. But just here an incident oc curred that threw the convention into an uproar, and which, for a few moments, threatened to result In a free flght. "Before Mr. Groce speaks," said the chairman, "the chair wishes to announce that there is a package of letters here for the South Dakota delegation. It was found on a chair, and was possibly lost by some member of the delegation." Ex-Congressman John F. Kelly, ot South Dakota, who had been clamoring for recognition all day, at once advanced, and, with his voice shaking with anger, said: "Tho South Dakota delegation is glad to receive this recognition from the chair, for It- is the only recognition It has re ceived from jou. You are a miserable bunco-steerer," Mr. Kelly shouted. "You came Into this convention with profes sions of good faith. You are not fit to preside over a Populist convention, and you never will again.'.' In an Instant there was on uproar, and cries of "Put him out" were heard. "I rise to a point of order," shouted Mr. JCelly. "I stand on my rights and you cannot bunco me out of them." Then, turning toward the-wildly-shouting dele gates he yelled: "I defy you. I defy you to put me out." Pale with passion, he again turned toward Chairman Patterson, and, pointing his finger at him, cried: "Y.ou, sir, are trying to gratify a. petty spite originating in today's conference." Amid fries of "Put him out," "Shut up," and "Shame on you," Mr. Kelly re turned to his delegation, every member of which was standing on his feet. During all the uproar. Chairman Patter son, flushed and apparently nervous, kept pounding with his gavel in a vain -611011 to restore order. Finally tho excited dele gates quieted somewhat for a moment. "The chair desires to make an explana tion." said Chairman Patterson. "I have honestly endeavored to let the convention hear from both sides in succession." VOTE THIS YEAR. '1 deny that as a falsehood." broke In Mr. Kelly, and again the convention be came a perfect pmdemonlum. Several excited delegates stripped off their coats, ready for business, while a gray-bearded but brawny delegate ran toward Mr. Kelly. He wop, however, stopped before he reached him. "It was the purpose of the chairman, as soon as the gentleman recognized con cluded, to recognize the gentleman from South Dakota," concluded Mr. Patterson, pale with anger. "Because the gentleman who has just finished spoke on the oppo site side of the question, Mr. Groce was recognized. Therefore I resent the impu tation." Tho uproar at this moment became so great that the chairman could not be heard, -renewed cries ot""Put him out!" coming from the delegates. As soon-'as he could be heard. Chairman Patterson con tinued: "After Mr. 'Groce concludes", I will rec ognlzohlm not becaus'e he 4s Mn,Kellyr but because he represents our host, the A trying to Intimidate the chair. Let me as sure him that the chair will not be in timidated." Mr. Kelly, surrounded by several mem bers of the South Dakota delegation, was on his feet by this time, and attempted to speak, but a chorus of "Take your seat!" and "Oh, shut up!" greeted him. and after a moment's hesitation he sat down, and the convention gradually came to order. Mr. Groce spoke urgently In favor off- sending a committee of conference to Kan sas City, as proposed by Mr. Washburn. Kelly "Would Not ApoloKlze. The chair then recognized Mr, Kelly, who said: "I very much regret the little alterca tion I had a short time ago, and I also regret the chairman should think I In tended to intimidate him. I give yon my word of honor as a man, I Intended noth ing of the kind." "Point of order, Mr. Chairman!" shouted a delegate from Nebraska. "I claim the gentleman has no right to take the floor for making personal remarks." There were cries of "Good!" "Go on!" directed toward Mr. Kelly. "The chair hopes," said Chairman Pat terson, "that the gentleman will be per mitted to say whatever Is on his mind re garding the chairman." "When the chairman remarked, early this afternoon," Mr. Kelly resumed, "that ho wished all those who desired to tako part in this debate to send his name to the desk, I sent in my name within three minutes. Three and one-half hours later I went personally to the chairman and po litely asked for recognition. A gentleman of the South Dakota delegation went, without my knowledge, and asked the same thing. He was promised recognition for mo as soon as the speaker then on the floor was through, but It was not given to me. While I deeply regret what has happened, I cannot find It In my heart to apologize, especially as I have several times during the day risen to a point of order and have been persistently Ignored. I have been all day denied my simple, plain rights as a-delegate. Personally, I do not care .to make a speech to this con vention, but I 'have been asked to do so by the delegation from South Dakota, which has done me the honor to make me Its chairman." Mr. Kelly then turned his attention to the pending question, and urged that a nomination be made at once, telling the, convention that It was inconsistent with the dignity of the party to refrain from making It. Mr. Kelly was given an ova tion by his fellow-delegates as soon as he took his. seat. .. Chairman Patterson asked the conven tion if they desired any further debate on the question of the iVlce-Presldency. After a long discussion of the parlia mentary position of .the -various motions, amendments and substitutes, the chairman held that the original question was the amendment offered by Jerry Simpson, which provided that the National commit tee should go to Kansas City for confer ence with the Silver Republicans and the Democrats regarding the Vice-Presidency. Mr. Simpson was given the .floor for the closing argument In behalf of his amend ment. He began by deploring the state ments of some of the speakers who pre dicted the death of the Peoples party. "Wo have had some little fun here to night." he said, "and a little ecrap. That sort of thing does not presage the death of the party. It betokens mental activ ity." Simpson Sprang: a Sensation. He then went- on In a happy, humorous way, amid much laughter and applause, urging the convention to refrain from making a nomination at th!a time. Dur ing his address, Mr. Simpson made nn eloquent eulogy upon Mr. Towne. declar ing that he was too good a friend of his to wish to see him. put Into political cold storage. "Hotc doee Mr.. Towne feel about it?" asked General Weaver. "I'll tell you. how. ho feels,'" .said Mr. Simpson. ."I saw a- telegram In -this city today from xMr. Towne,, in which he. said he woujd not thlnk"it wise to nomlnata a Vice-President at this time." . This statement provoked a storm, par ticularly in the ranks of the Minnesota delegation, who loudly demanded to see the telegram. "I have not got It." replied Mr. Simp son, "but it la here In the possession ot soma one, and I promised not to divulge his name." "Don't believe a word of It," shouted Senator Butler, with a laugh. Mr. Simpson then concluded with a strong appeal to tho convention to appoint a committee to confer at Kansas City. Senator Butler gained the eye of the chair long enough to ask "to refute a statement sprung on the convention that we know to be untrue," but It not being a question of privilege he replied to re newed calls of "Call tho roll," by eaying: "Very well, we will play Towne any way." The substitute Introduced by Mr. Simp son was then put to a vote. It provided for the appointment of a committee, to go to Kansas City and confer with the Dem ocratic committee in regard to a Vice Presldentlcil candidate. Amid much confusion, the vote resulted, 252 votes for and 492 votes against. In tho midst of the applause which followed tho announcement of the result. Senator Allen arose and nominated Charles A. Towne. of Minnesota, for Vice-President, moving that the nomination be made unanimous. Mr. Washburn's compromise measure, providing for the selection by ballot of Ave names to be presented by a commit tee to the Democratic and Silver-Republican conventions, and from which to en deavor to select a candidate for Vice President, was again brought forth by Jerry Simpson, only to be defeated, and the VTce-Preeldentlal question was at last settled. Tho vote stood. 270 votes for and 526 votes against. Senator Allen then took the chair. Chair man Patterson's voice "having given out. The call of states for the announcement of names of candidates for Vice-President was then demanded. "Tornado" Jones, of IHInote, nominated Dr. Howard S. Taylor. It was now 11:30 P. M., and a motion to limit the time of nominating epeeches to five minutes was carried with a shout. A. J. Westfall, ot Iowa, nominated J. H. Davis ("Cyclone"), of Texas. When Kansas was reached Jerry Simp son, "on behalf of Kansas, the barometer of American politics." nominated National Committeeman John W. Breldenthal. George F. Washburn, of Massachusetts, nominated E. Gerry Brown, of that state. Minnesota was called amid much ap plause, and J. W. Bowler nominated Charles A. Towne. T. S. Hogan, of Montana, sprung a surpriso on the convention by a bitter denunciation of Charlrs S. Hartman for withdrawing as a candidate of the fusion forces in that state. "In the Interests of the Republican party. Mr. Towne was the National chairman of the Sliver Re publican party. Charles A. Towne in dorsed the treacherous and traitorous ac tion of Hartman," sold Mr. Hogan. who then nominated Congressman John J. Lentz, of Ohio. "Cyclone" Davis withdrew his name. Taylor. Brown and Rynder followed, suit, and Jerry Simpson withdrew Mr. Brelden thal in fayor of Towne. This left the names of Towne and Lenti before the convention. The Montana delegation, which bad presented the name of Lentz was asked to withdraw his name, but re fused to do so. Towne Was Declared the Nominee. Mr. Schilling, of Wisconsin, then moved that the rules be suspended, and that Charles A. Towne be declared the- Vlce Presldentlal nominee by acclamation. The motion was carried, only four men from Montana voting against it. The convention proceeded to the reor ganization of the National committee, Mr.. Washburn made a strong appeal for three National committeemen from each state -After some debate, the convention, by an almost unanimous vote, concurred, apd the state delegations at once proceeded State of South Dakota, The gentleman is to select "their committeemen.- The Na trona committee Includes: California B.

"I think," said Mr. Johnson, "that the action of the soft steel cap may be Illus trated by a simple experiment. If you: would try to drive a single nail through a piece of sheet iron, the nail would bend. But If you first drive a nail through a piece of hardwood. It -will penetrate the eheet iron. ' "The soft Tioe, in other words, prevents the projectile from glancing off. Its whole force is concentrated at the point . In one of-the tests made atJndian Head, weflred a projetclle at the armor-plate at an angle of 21 degrees. No sppner had hq soft, nose touched the plate ,thanthe projec tile turned at a right anglg to .the plate arid p'onetrated It. The cap, or soft nose, also acts as a. kind of lubricant to the shell." NAMED BY BOLTERS. (Continued from First Page.) nomination of Howard. He was followed by J. A. Parker, of Kentucky, who also seconded Howard's nomination. Ex-Governor Walte, of Colorado, sec onded the nomination of Howard, and made the allegation that the Western States were now returning good for evil in Indorsing a Southern man. despite the fact, as he put it, that the South had forced Weaver on the West In 1S92. Dr. Hill, of Oregon, seconded Howard's nomination. Result of the Balloting. Then followed the balloting, which re sulted in the choice of Barker and Don nelly as the Mlddle-of-the-Road ticket. Between the first and second ballots Chairman Crowe, of the Alabama dele gation, created an uproarious scene by charging. Governor Walte, of Colorado, with Insulting the Southern delegations In his reference to the nomination of Weaver. Howls and cat calls came from every direction, and the chairman found" it impossible to restore order. Governor Waite struggled down the aisle to the orchestra circle, and in a feeble voice, which was heard only by those only a few feet from him, stated that his Remarks bad been misunderstood, and that if the delegates from Alabama construed them as Chairman Crowe represented, he would apologize. The following committee on notification was selected, with instructions to request the nominees to reply within 30 days: M. W. Howard, of Alabama; Morgan, ct Arkansas, and Mallett, of Texas.

Southern Pacific Plans. SAN FRANCISCO, May 10. President C. P.

If a policy of war ln;iUle Philippines I to be followed, war must be made in & way that the Moros can -understand. Gen eral Weylefs experience In this lino proves thsi. He prepared a great cam paign against the Moro tribes in Min danao. The force which ha'yook with him, was so large that peace was clearly in tho interest of tho Mohammedans Hence General Weyler could find no on to flght; and even he was too tender heatred ,to- devastate peaceful village. But his army was decimated by disease, and he withdrew It. Then the Mohamme dan Interest lay in tho direction of war, and the raiding and pillaging went oa almost as before. The model of a policy ot war Is offered by the Moros themselves or by the Russians who had to deal with the Mohammedan tribes of Central Asia It is to look at your enemy as untamable, to selzo any trifling opportunity for the end in view, to have an overwhelming force, and then to strike without con science; literally killing every' living thins when tho gattle occurs, and destroying eevrythting that cannot be carried away after the victory la won Tho expense of such a policy will be great, the bloodshed terrible; but a few successful encounters conducted on this principle will secure abjetc submission and peace for a gen eration. If war of this class seems too dreadful for Christians to plan in cold blood, tha policy of peace, too. should be made intel ligible to the Morosj Peace can be had by following In the main the English model of policy toward the Moslem tribes. The .theory Is clearly to show that peace is th Interest of the- Mohammedan but to do this In milder ways than above sug gested. The officers In contact with the Moros should study the Mohammedan law of conduet toward aliens; so that they may know the meaning of. and the remedy for, difficulties which arise. Following the precept of the holy Taw Itself, they should see to It that modern arms and ammu nition are not sold to the Moros. Tho Sultan should be warned that raids by any tribe will be punished by pitiless re prisals upon the district of their origin, but -without detriment to friendly rela tions with himself, and without harm to Mohammedans of other districts. The threat should be'made good by Irresistible punitive expeditions swiftly following tho offense. A Cable With a History. New" York Tribune. The 'cable of the Western Union Telegraph-Company,' which runs under Lako Champlaln from. Tlconderoga to Larra-bee-'s Point, has something of a history.
