Congressman Cousins was tb,e tempo
rary chairman. His speech was greeted
with enthusiastic applause. Mr. Cousins
devoted some time to a comparison of the
Nation's finances under the Adminis
trations of Cleveland and McKinley.
Ho then compared the foreign, trade
of the United States under the pres
ent and preceding Administrations, show
ing that the balance of trade in our favor
during the three years just passed Is $1,-
m lf8.&10,4oS more than that for the preced
vm. ing 10 years. 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

"Second The demonstration of the abil

selfishness and prejudice and clamor

eentlment."
The platform, as framed. Instructs the
delegates for McKinley, and Indorses his
Administration. It mentions Its foreign
policy and the currency law and recom
mends proper control of trusts and com
bines deemed inimical to the interest of
the public generally.

ator Cullom arrived In Chicago today
from attendance upon the Peoria conven

fied with the result of the convention
battle between the forces of Governor

"The test of strength was shown when
wo succeeded in electing Charles G.

placing Governor Joseph W. Flfer as

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."

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

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.

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

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

It Is far easier to register this week than it will be to find six

disfranchise yourself. Only four days more remain in which to

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.

ST.. LOUIS STRIKE-
Efforts to Settle It Failed Another
Fatality.
ST. LOUIS, May 10. The feature of tho
day in the great street railway strike was
the conference between Governor Ste
phens, the members of the executive com
mittee of the local street railway em
ployes association, and the officers and
attorneys of the Transit Company, called'
for the purpose of ascertaining If some
sort of an amicable understanding could
not be arrived at to end hostilities. Tho
conference lasted several hours, but at its
conclusion Governor Stephens announced
that: nothing had been accomplished.
Tho Suburban Company operated Its
syetem under police protection during the
entire day without Interference, and was
patronized liberally by the public. The
Transit Company ran. two cars over one
branch of Its system, but attempted to
carry no passengers.
Another -fatality as a result of the. strike
was recorded tonight. As Flora Siegfried,
a young woman, was crossing Washing
ton street, carrying an Infant in her, arms,
she was hit on the head with a brick that
had been hurled at a paesing car on the
Suburban system. Her skull was frac
tured, and she died shortly after .being
carried tp the.CIty Hospital.
The street-car men of the East SU Louis

THE SOFT-NOSE SHELL.
Inventors Explain Hott It Pierces
Armor-Plate.
NEW YORK. May 10. James W. John
son, member of the -firm of Isaac "G. John
son & Co., of Spuyten Duyvil, inventors
of the Johnson soft-nose shell, explained
last night how the soft steel cap enables
a projeotlle to pierce armor-plate.
"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."

by J. A. Parker, of Kentucky, who also

Ex-Governor Walte, of Colorado, sec
onded the nomination of Howard, and

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.

Oar Moliamrncdaa Ward. $
The Forum.
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.

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.
It was made in Europe and was first
Lused In connecting opposite shores of the
Red Sea. From there Jt was brpught to
Hilton Head, where it was used In con
necting that place with Tybee island,
near Beaufort, S. C. At the close of the
Civil War it was taken up and carried to
this city, where it remained for several
years in the company warehouse, beforo
it was placed where It now Is.
