King County's Candidate Has
Serious Opposition.

"SEATTLE, Aug. $. What influence -will
asond G3 votes have oyer 475? 1& the ques
tion now bothering the politicians "who
succeeded in securing an indorsement
irom King County for J-. M. Frlnk for
Governor. t It Is certain that Spokane
County with Its 29 delegates, - may be
reXed on to join -with the victorious Se
attle machine, making 102 for a starter.
fikagit is expected to help out, and Stev
en? ,and "Whatcom and Snohomish and
other counties that are usually In the
"Wilson column. The Prink managers
make the Tather -surprising claim that
they are also sure of Pierce County,
wfliich vrill, -they say. find it the part of
good policy to concede the Governorship
ie Seattle, on the ground that it will
thus better maintain Its strong hold on
the Congressional delegation. They de
oiare, too, that they will be able to make
-Inroads into the famous southwest com
blnation, which has been claimed for
Scobey of Thurston. Thus they figure up
that the' have 260 votes in sight, and that
one ballot will be sufiiclent to settle the
controversy. These claims may be taken
tor what they are worth, and so may
the claims of the opposition, which is
glready busy 'in its purpose to defeat Mr.
Brink. Those latter declare that Frink
is. at best the candidate of only one fac
tion of the Tiepublican party, and that
Ws indorsement was procured by -means
nt wiiolly regular or creditable. If the
so&ism in the party is to be widened,
they say, it can be done no better than
byinthe nomination of the man -who has
pene so much to rehabilitate a political
ring odious and tyrannical a selfish
ollque -whose habit it has always been
to do much for itself and little for the
people'In other words, the success of
Mr. Frink, achieved after the hardest and
bitterest fight in the history of King
Ceunty, has brought to the fore once
more ex-Senator "Wilson and ex-Gov-
ornor McGraw, two men who, so their
enemies claim, and deservedly, won the
title of "has beens."
The state convention will have 475 dele
gates, and It will meet at Tacoma, August
IE. ..The candidates for Governor are:
J. M. Frlnk, of King; J. O'B.
Scobey, of Thurston; Major J. J.
"Weiscnburger, of Whatcom, and S. C.
Cosgrove, of Garfield. "Wallace Mount, of
Spokane, who has been indorsed by the
delegation of that county for Attorney
General, has likewise been suggested for
Governor, but it is now likely that
lie will stick to the minor ambition. If
Humes or Gule had won In King County it
might liave been different. Wllson'would
doubtless have persuaded Judge Mount to
stand for the chief place on the ticket.
The leading candidate of the Frlnk op-
. .position will be Mr. Scobey, and that his
pretensions are worthy of serious con-
. .laeration will be seen by a glance at
fiho iflgures epared by his followers.
Me expects ?the support- or the solid
southwest combination, and If he gets it
as now seems not unlikely he will be
a most dangerous competitor. Here Is
the line-up, as seen from the Scobey
standpoint:
Southwest 95JGarficld 6
Pieroe 44!KIttitas 12
Whitman 23iKlickitat 10 ;
Columbia 10 Walla Walla 18

Total . .241
This is three more than a majority of
the convention. It will be observed that
the estimate excludes every county
In the northwest. Whatcom County
will doubtless give its indorsement
to Major Wolsenburger. should he
desire it. Skagit will probably go with
Frlnk, because of Judge McBrlde's am
bition to be Lieutenant-Governor, and
Snohomish the same 'because Sam H.
Kichols is after the Secretaryship of
State. The two latter have already en
tored into comblnatlonwlth King County.
The natural inclination of Whatcom
would be on the other side, on account
of Wolsenburger, but as a matter of fact
Whatcom has a reputation for division
and dissension in its political counsels
ad purposes, and there Is no telling
-where It will finally land. Last Spring
at Ellensburg It trained with the antl
WHsen people; but It had theretofore
loaned toward the now resurrected Spo
kane statcsmRn. Island County Is antl
Wllson. and so is San Juan and Clallam.
In Jefferson County the Federal brigade
has devoted itself with extraordinary en
orgy to the task of capturing the county
convention. Here is the Custom-House,
with Collector Heustls, a Wilson ap
pointee, and a small army of employes.
Two years ago Heustls and the Custom
Hettfie ring were defeated, after a very
fierce struggle, but the opposition is now
mere or less divided, and the Wilson
people stand a. very good chance of cap
turing the local county convention.
In Eastern Washington there is report
ed to be the strongest kind of opposition
to "Mr. Fink, on account of his record
against railroad-rate legislation. Frlnk,
wMle a State Senator in 1S85, voted and
-worked against the Helm bill. It is rep
re&ittd that no candidate who stands
for railroad interests can be acceptable
to JSastern Washington, which has for
years fought for lower grain rates. Lin
coln County, -which usually goes with
Spokane, may oppose Mr. Frlnk on that
account, and so may Douglas. Other
ootmttes -will, it Is supposed, be found to
be galnst him at Tacoma, for that rea
son and because they are in the control
of the Aakeny men, who want anybody
bt Frisk.
It -will -thws be seen that while the King
Ootmty candidate goes to Tacoma with
the iK-eotice of a victory at home, tho
indorsement of a solid delegation, an al
Mww -weh Spokane and with the benefit
of a strong disposition on the part of the
s&tte to concede the Governorship to Se
attle, he -will have powerful opposition.
The keystone to the arch of he opposi
tion 1 tho southwest combination. This
cowbinattoe of counties has shaped the
cow of every Republican State Con
vention since 1SS4. It has survived the
met formidable efforts to break it up.
Just aow the Wilson faction is working
very hand to persuade Lewis County and
Owdliaite County to refuse to work in
harmony with the others. If they suc
ceed, the nomination of Mr. Frlnk may be
iweanAed a practically certain. If thoy
o not soooeed, the chances are very
& indeed that he may be beaten. The"
opposition is, sure to getj,some votes out
of 'sthe -northwest,. -whatever happens, 'be-
cause , the,counies in that 'part of th
state .have never been -able to get to
gether on any important proposition. The
weakness of Mr. Frink before the people
because of his labor and railroad record Is
really a very effective argument.
The late King County convention has
left the political situation in King" County
sadly disturbed. The fightovcrjjhe Gov
ernorship demonstrated that the political
factions -were very nearly equal In num
bers, and the Humes-Gule people do not
accept their defeat gracefully or with any
feeling that It was won on Its merits.
The attitude of the one Hcpubllcan news
paper, controlled by John L. Wilson and
speaking for him, has stirred up among
them an angry and bitter feeling. It has
assaulted tho Humes-Gule leaders In the
most venomous and mallgnanf fashion,
and has plainly said, for example, that
"the penitentiary is too good" for them.
For "days before the primaries and con
vention this paper gave such an exhibi
tion" of Journalistic littleness., and nastl
ness as the city Bad not before seen.
It is probable that the cause of Frink
was .thus more damaged than benefited;
but, however that may be, it was made
impossible for many republicans here
ever to be reconciled to the aspirations
of John L. Wilson. The causes behind
the defeat of Humes were a feeling that
he has been too often a candidate for
ofllce, and that, having been elected
Mayor, he ought to fill out his term.
His elevation to the Governorship would
have necessitated a special election, not
by tho Council, -but by the public. The
people who have benefited by the Mayor's
"liberal policy" were indifferent and did
not work as hard as they might. Frlnk
Is a very respectable man, with a large
personal following, and with the favor,
of the corporations. These wee instru
mental, for example, In swinging the
Franklin, Newcastle and Gilman mines
to his support With all this great op
position, Humes would have carried the
city and the convention ir he had had
just one more city precinct. As several
precincts were lost by the narrowest Pos--slble
margin, ranging from one to five
votes, the remarkable closeness of the
contest is obvious.
The Humes-Gule people feel that they
have been grossly and outrageously mis
represented by the local press as to their
attitude in the organization of the con
vention last Thursday. Frank P. Lewis,
the temporary chairman", has been espe
cially .victimized by colored newspaper
reports', which charge a conspiracy to'
steal the coriveittjon by fraud, of which
Lewis 'is declared to be accessory. Tho
truth is so the Humes-Gule men sa
that the count as announced was entire
ly accurate so far as they know. When the
clerk passed up, the returns to the chair
man of the County Central Committee,
Knickerbocker, showing that Lewis had a
majority, there was nothing for him to do
but to accept the situation. There was
some protest then on the part of the
Frink people, butLewls took the gavel
and the work of going ahead with the
temporary organization ,was not inter
rupted. Afterward a demand was made
for the convention to retracVlts stops and
reopen the matter of Lewis' election.
The Humes people contended that to do
this would amount to self-stultification
and be an admission that they had per
petrated a fraud; and they declared thai
the only business of a temporary organ
ization was to proceed to a permanent
organization; Nb"bne-seriously" contended
on tho convention floor that any fraud
or theft had been "intended" by tho
Humes-Gule people; but it was Insisted
by the Frlnk peoplo that a mistake had
been made, and that It ought to be cor
rected. Tho answer of the opposition
was that no wrong had been done, the
title of Lewis to the temporary chair
manship was perfect, that tho conven
tion was yet unorganized, and the Frlnk
delegates. If they had a majority, could
demonstrate it by proceeding to perma
nent organization. This was the view final
ly accepted by the Frlnk people, except
that In the compromise effected they In
sisted that no credentials committee be
appointed and no delegates be unseated.
This was the only point conceded by the
Humes-Gule men, but It was all that was
necessary to assure the Frink people of
control. During the long controversy
over the chairmanship they had been
steadily gaining accessions, mainly from
delegates who wanted to see the con
troversy ended.
All things considered. Mayor Humes
made a really remarkable fight. All the
influential corporations in the county
were against him. The Pacific Coast
Company, which Is allied to the Great
Northern, appears to have been especial
ly diligent In Mr. Frlnk's behalf. The
Humes managers point out as the reason
for this great corporation's attitude the
known relationship, commercial and po
litical, between it, the Great Northern,
ex-Senator Wilson and his newspaper or
gan. The municipal machine, which the
Mayor was accused of building up In his
own behalf, appears to have amounted
to little. All the policemen and firemen
and practically all the city employes are
under an efficient civil service, and the
patronage club could not be used with
much effect. Indeed, the nominal mana
ger ofMr. Frlnk's campaign was Frank
Paul, City Controller. On the contrary,
the whole power of the Federal machine
was used against Humes and Gule.
United States Assayer Wing, who has 20
or more employes, discharged a melter,
John Vanhorn, because he would not
agree to -work at the primaries for Frink.
This incident, by the way, made a small
sensation, and was used to some advan
tage by the Humes-Gule forces; but It
was carefully suppressed from publica
tion by the Wilson organs. It is not
likely that Humes will consent to have
his name brought before the Tacoma con
vention. Some of his friends ujge that
he would be justified in so doing, and
point out that E. P. Ferry was nominated
in 1SS9 while his own delegation was
against him. But the Mayor Is disin
clined to continue the fight for himself.
This does not mean that he will not con
tinue It against Mr; Frlnk.

NOMINATED FOR CONGRESStBY. REPUBLICANS OF IDAHO.
t
CALDWELL, Idaho, Aug. 5. John Tracy tMorrlson, Republican nominee for Representa
tive in Congress from Idaho, was born December 25, 1SC0, in Jefferson "County, Pennsylvania,
Farm boy, studeijtl teacher, lawyer, designate his lifers' story to date. He was educated In
the public schools of his native state, and ajt thec&nTvcrslty of WooSter, O., and Cornell
University, Ithaca, N. T., of each of which unjversltles he is a graduate.
In August, 1890, Mr. Morrison located at Caldwell, Idaho, his present home, and besan
the active practice of law. He enjoys a wide reputation in his state as a lawyer of ability
and integrity. He has been a memb'erof theJRepubllcan State f Central Committee since
1894. In 1890, when the party sprit over stiver In Idaho, he stood firmly for party loy
alty, and took an active part In holding the party organization In -his state, and was
made secretary of tho committee. Eater in that jcar, as Republican nominee for Represen
tative lri Congress from Idaho, ho made- a vigorous campaign of the state, gaining for
himself an enviable reputation as a platform orator. In 189S. he wa3 made chairman of the
committee, and conducted the campalgruof that year, In which the party vote was' In
creased IS per cent over that, of 1800, and 21 member? of theT'State Legislature gained.
In 1SS0 Mr. Morrison was married to Miss Grace D. Mackey, of Cleveland, O. Tho father
and mother, with their two children, Mary Louise and John Mackey, fofp an interesting fam
ily, held in high esteem by all who'know thqm,
! "U - v
Klnley at Canton, and Mr. Adee, Acting
Secretary of State, later in the day issued
the following statement concerning it:
"Consul-General Goodnow, in a cable
gram dated Shanghai, August 5, which
wasireqeived at the Department of State
at 40'tlock this (Sunday) morning, re-;
ports the receipt by Consul Ragsdale, at
Tien Tsln, of messages from Minister Con
ger arid the Secretary of the Legatlop,
Mr. Squelrs, dated July 21, to the fpl-
lowlng effect: 'All well; no fighting since
the 16th, by agreement. Enough provis
ions. Hope for speedy relief.'
"Mr. Goodnow adds that Director of
Posts Sheng had on the 5th sent to him
an imperial edict dated July 20, ordering
Jung Lu to provide an escort for the
Ministers to Tien Tsln, when the Min
isters fixed the date. The edict says the
Ministers can receive messages not In
cipher, but, notwithstanding this, plain
messages were returned to some Consuls
August 4."
While the messages from Minister Con
ger and Secretary Squelrs bear the date
of July 21, the belief, founded not only
upon them but also on collateral and
later information, is that the Legatloners
are yet safe from Immediate harm. At
present there Is no means of knowing
whether the Ministers will accept the
offer of the Chinese Imperial Govern
ment to provide an escort for them to
Tien Tsln, but It is surmised that they
will prefer to remain within the British
legation at Pekln until the arrival of the
allied forces. Should they leave for Tien
Tsln, In all probability It would be be
cause they regarded It as the safer course
to pursue.
Government Urges Ministers to Go.
It Is thought to be not unlikely that the
Chinese Government may be very Insis
tent upon the departure of the Ministers,
In the hope that If they can be gotten
to Tien Tsln In safety the storming of
Pekln may be averted.
The Inhibition of cipher dispatches to the
Ministers, while a serious breach of dip
lomatic usage, is not regarded here with
apprehension. The Chinese Government,
it is pointed out. Is suspicious of the
actions and Intents of the powers, and
probably has adopted this precaution to
prevent communication to the Ministers
of the details of military movements. It is
evident from the adoption of this measure
that the ImperialGovernment regards It
self as antagonistic to$if not actually
at war with, the powers. Thus far no
Inhibition has been placed upon cipher
dispatches passing between ihe various
governments and their consular represen
tatives In China outside of Pekln.
The State Department has taken the
ground that the dispatch from the Tsung

yesterday by Minister Wu, Is not an "an

ANARCHIST RIOT IN CHICAGO
Startetl by the Xotorloas "Mrs. Par
sons, Wh.0 Was Arrested.
CHICAGO, Aug. 5. An anarchist riot
occurred this afternoon at the corner of
Twelfth and Halstead streets, In which
25 people were bruised In a struggle with
45 poljcemen. Five persons were airb
ed, among them being Mrs. Lucy Parsons,
widow .of Albert R. Parsons, who was
executed .November 11, 1?S7, in Chicago
foe aiding and. abetting the bomb
throwing in the Haymarket riot. She was
charged with disorderly conduct and re
sisting' an officer. Her ball was fixed at
?1C00. '
A'Biass meeting had been called at West
Side Turner Hall, at which speeches were
"to be "made by Mrs. Parsons and others
on the topic, "The Execution of the King
of Italy." , The call .concluded:
"Workmen, come In crowds and show
that the feeling of brotherhood Is strong
among you."
Mrs. 'Parsons was on her way to the
hall, when, finding It had been closed by
the pojlce, she stepped Into a doorway
across the street. Soon a crowd formed,
an.df,n policeman, pushing through the
throng, sought a glimpse of Mrs. Par-
spns. Thinking she was making an an-
.archistlc speech, he endeavored to dis
perse the crowd, but failed. He sent In
a call for reinforcements, and, additional
jpollcemen arriving, immediately a general
fight was precipitated. Fifets and clubs
were used, and the police, finding them
selves being worsted, sent In a riot call.
The number of pollcewas Increased to 45,
and' they, rushed 'Into the throng. Mrs.
."Parsons was seized. Bricks were thrown.
clubs were wielded and a fierce struggle
ensued before the crowd was finally dis
persed. 'After the affair numerous small cards
were found bearing the heading: "Work
Ingmen, emancipate yourselves." The po
lice assert that these cards were printed
In .San Francisco, and were received here
bythb anarchists several days ago, and
have been secretly distributed. A large
Quantity of literature advocating anarchy
Jand a book containing the names and ad
dresses of several anarchist sympathiz
ers were secured by the police.
