Prink, of King, was nominated for Governor by aelaBWition at the Republican state con vention ierlay. Every candidate on the Prink 3at was -euccesaful. Ail .were named without a -contest, with one ex ception, the candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction, R. B. "Bryan, of Chehalis. Professor Bryan appears to be objectionable to many leaders of the state, who arc not satisfied with his for mer administration of the office, and a -very arp fight was organized against 5rfm. It resulted In nothing except an acrimonious discussion In the Kins Coun ty delegation. Several delegates insisted on voting, for Professor Layhue, and ap pealed to the convention to be permitted to cast their votes, despite the unit rule enforced in the Seattle delegation. The Jving County leaders violently protested, .and a very lively row ensued, to the edi fication of the convention, and the great delight of Pierce 43ounty. who was seated near. Bryan was nominated by a small majority. The convention was, with this excep tion, a very tame affair. "Whenever the name of a candidate was proposed, it was at once ratified. The proceedings be came so monotonous that the delegates finally fell .into the practice of shouting "Aye" as isoon as the name of a slate icacriid&te was mentioned. The chairman entered into the spirit of levity which ani mated the convention, and In several In stances declared a candidate who had thus Informally been indorsed by the con vention its candidate without further ac tion. Very good speeches were made by Con gressman Jones and Cushman while wait ing for the -committee on platform. Mr. iFrlnk was called before the convention after Ms -nomination. His appearance was the signal for mnch enthusiasm, and he was .given three cheers after It was over. But as a speech it was a very dismal effort. The convention was in session for less than an 'hour ..this morning, and for ebout three hours this afternoon, making a record for brevity of proceedings quite unprecedented In the history of the state. So far as personnel is concerned the ticket was fairly satisfactory to the con tention as a whole; but there is great complaint from Eastern "Washington that It is not better represented. The -candl-date for nearly every important office is irom west of the mountains. Spokane gets a Supreme Judgeship and a Presi dential Elector. Southeastern "Washing ton gets nothing at all except a Presi dential Elector. Central "Washington has the Auditor and a Presidential Elector and a Representative in Congrers. "West ern "Washington has the Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, Congressman, Treas urer, Secretary of State, Land Commis sioner, Supreme Judgemd Attorney-General. Eastern "Washington feels especially aggrieved, too, over the action' of the platform committee in refusing to accept a plank declaring for a railroad -commission,. Quite a lively contest occurred in the committee over the matter. It was voted down, then upon the very urgent insistence of Eastern "Washington was re considered. But the platform, as report ed, contains only an innocuous expression declaring for the regulation and control of tho railroads. Some Eastern "Wash ington delegates claim that the plank for a railroad commission, having been indefi nitely agreed upon, should be in the plat form. These delegates represent that they will during the campaign have to defend Candidate Srink for his opposition to the Helm blU. and they .hoped the party would place itself on record so as to make their task easier. Another interesting development of tho day was the re-election ot John H. Schlvoly. of King, as chairman of the stato central committee. Schlvely ardent ly supported Frink, but curiously enough lie -was strongly and bitterly opposed -for re-election by John L. "Wilson. The latter this morning- publicly denounced Schlve ly. but during the day a reconciliation was effected. The committee, as consti tuted, is doubtless opposed to ilcGraw and "Wilson, but It was the request of the candidates, and particularly ot Con gressmen Cushman and Jones, that Schlvely be re-elected, and the commit tee acceded. HOW NOMIKATTOXS "WERE 3IADB. IPrinlE Slate Went TJndiallensre! Ex cept in One Instance. TACQMA. Aug. 15.-Tbe Republican State Convention met at lOD this morn ing in the Auditorium, C "W. Dorr, of "Whatcom County, was chosen temporary chairman, and J. W. Lyons, of Jefferson -County, temporary secretary Committees on credentials, order of business and platform were se lected, and the convention took a recess uatll 2 P. H. The convention reassembled at 20 i M. and received the report of the commit tee on credentials. The report of the com mittee on order of business providing that two Congressmen and then the state tick et, beginning with Governor, be nomi nated la order, "was received and adapted. For permanent chairman. S. G. Coscrovo, of Garfield, was nominated by acclama tion upon motion of Howard nf "What com. On taking the chair Cosgrove was greeted with prolonged cheering. He made a very amusing speech, declaring It a great honor to preside over a conven tten which does not have to appoint a committee to confer with other parties over the distribution of spoils. "When thare are any spoils to divide, the partv divides them among themselves. It is a great honor to preside over a party which does net carry two flags, one by Agul rmldo." 3r. Cosgrove then thanked the "aevoied band which went down to death and glory in his candidacy for Governor. Titers were loud ind continuous calls for Congressman Jones, and as he came forward he received a tremendous ova tion. Mr. Jones made a lively campaign speech of some length. A diversion was created during his address by the entry of a man named 2urray, of Thurston, "who was an almost exact physical repro duction of James Hamilton Lewis The convention broke Into uproarious laughter and checrz, tr which .Murray responded with a fair simulation of Lewis airy manners. The disorder continued for sev eral minutes, and was renewed when Jones invited Murray on the platform. He declined. The Incident being closed. Jones resumed bis speech. Congressman Cushman was called for ward, and made a very witty speech, which was received with great applause. The committee on platform made its re port, as follows: The Platform Adopted. , ''Four years. ago,lhe Republicans p Washington met to mourn over universal .calamity and despair under Democratic rule. Today we meet to rejoice over uni versal prosperity and happiness under Re- j publican rule. Democratic theories bo com dangerous when coupled with po litical power: and they are not improved by a mongrel mixture of free silver and Populist vagaries. They can he rendered harmless only by 'maintaining Republican rule in Nation, state and county; and to such maintenance w pledge our strong est effort. "We so proud of President JfcKinley, and Indorse his able, fearless and patriot ic Administration. "We rejoice that he Is again our standard-bearer and will con tinue to be the honored chief of a pros perous and happy people. He has fully redeemed the ante-election pledges of his party. Under his leadership protection and reciprocity have again been restored to their proper place in public law; the j Hawaiian Islands have become, part of th Union; Spain has been compelled to lift her heavy hand from off the "Western hemisphere; Cuba has been made free; Porto Rico is happy under our tlag; the Philippines are rapidly learning to appre ciate and accept that kind of Hberty which Is known and understood only by the American people; our Army and Navy have been ably sustained; the honor of our tlag has been maintained at home and abroad: the- Democratic heresy o" free silver has been put to sleep by a Repub lican Cuugress, and the gold standard has been reaffirmed In the most positive and satisfactory manner; our country's credit has been made better than ever before, and better than that of any other nation on earth; the sun of prosperity lias driven away the clouds of despair, and the civ ilized world acknowledges and applauds J the glory and honor which have crowned the Nation. This record ought to be sat isfactory tcVevery patriotic Ameriean. ""We congratulate the country upon the nomination of Governor Roosevelt for Vice-President, He has contributed much to the success and glory of the first term of President McKinley, and will add both 'strength and honor to the next. "VTe Indorse the Republican National platform adopted at Philadelphia, and commend It to the voters of this state as an able exposition of Republican doc trine and of correct public policy. "We unreservedly Indorse and approve tho work of Senator Addison G. Foster and Congressmen W. L. Jones and J. W. Cushman, who, by their indefatigable efforts In behalf of the state, have proven themselves more-than equal to the bur den imposed by their selection to the high offices which they so ably fill. We especially commend their effective ef forts regarding reclamation of arid lands and in behalf of settlers within forest reserves. ""With over S2,O3,O00,000 of foreign com merce, only 7 per cent of which Is carried In American ships, we most heartily in dorse the efforts of the Republican party and pledge the support of our representa tives, to place American .shipping at the forefront of the trade fleets of the world, and specifically Indorse the plank of the National platform relating to the mer chant marine. "We favor the buiidlng of railroads.. within our state as an essential means of J its development and exowth, and we also favor the adoption and enforcement ot just and equitable laws regulating and controlling them. "We stand for the loyalty of the .flag; for the gold standard of value for all our money; for protection and reciprocity; for the Nlcaraguan Canal, owned, oper ated and defended b- the United States; for the election of United States Sena tors by dlrct 'ote .of the people; for the further enlargement of our trade and commerce; for the discrimination and Na tional aid as shall speedily result In the upbuilding of our merchant marine; for the rigid enforcement of the law against trusts: for the loyal and liberal support of the Nation's defenders the Army and Navy both in peace and in war; for the uncompromising suppression of the re bellion on the Island of Luzon; for the unlimited defense of every foot of terri tory under the flag, and for the protec tion of every citizen in every land; for the immediate rescue of our people im periled in China, and for ample restitu tion for loss of life and property therein; for a territorial form of government for Alaska, Including protection to naviga tion, and oppose relinquishing soil or sovereignty of any part of that district; for the construction of good and perma nent wagon roads through the state; for tho rigid enforcement of law and order and the economical administration of public affairs, National, state and coun ty; we favor the early construction of a submarine cable connecting this state j with our island possessions in the Pa cific Ocean owned and operated by tho -Federal Government. In concluding this address to the vot ers of the State of Washington, we invite their aid and co-operation upon the prin ciples and purposes herein enumerated, J wucoui regara 10 pasx pouucai amiia tions. in the firm belief that the best conduct of our public affairs will be as--sured by this convention." The platform was adopted unanimously. dominations Go ThronRrh. The nomination of the two Congress men was then taken np in order. Whltson of Taldma nominated Jones ot Yakima. Reynolds of Pierce nominated Francis W. Cushman. Both were named J by acclamation. For Governor. John H. Powell named J. 3L Frink, of King. Tho nomination was -seconded by Faulk ner of Thurston. Kuykendall of Garfield, ! Hamilton of Pierce. AH these seconds represented other candidates. The -nomi nation was made by acclamation amid a 1 1 great shout. For Lleutenant-Governor.Hnrd of Skag it nominated Henry CMoBride of the same county. The nomination, after several seconds, was made by acclamation. Candidate Frink was then introduced, and in a few remarks accepted the nomi nation. Three cheers were given for him as he concluded. "The following nomi nations were then made by acclamation: Secretary of State Sam BT. Nichols, or Snohomish. Treasurer C W. Maynard, of Lewis. Auditor John D. Atkinson, of Chelan. Attorney-General W. B. Stratton, ot Padnc Land Commissioner S. A. Calvert, of Whatcom. A break in the harmonious order ot dominations by acclamation came with tho School Superintendency. The slate candidate was R. B. Bryan, of Chehalls. There was loud protest against this nom ination. A delegate from King County named Professor J. M. Layhne, on behalf i of a part of that delegation. A row en sued, in which Chairman Preston declared that the solid 6S rotes of King were for Bryan. A Walla Walla delegate noml- J nated J. L. Dumas, of that county. The roll call was started, and when King cast the olid 63 votes for Bryan. There was protest from a delegate named I. A. Moses, who said, he wanted to vote for ' Layhue. Chairman Preston then moved that the secretary be instructed to cast the solid 63 votes for Bryan. There was much uproar In the convention, and Chairman Cosgrove ruled the motion out of order. Freston, amid much confusion, attempted to appeal from the decision ot the chair. John L. Wilson here arose and undertook to pour oil on the troubled 1 waters by stating that the appeal was not in order. Inasmuch as the roll call J was begun. Several other dilatory mo tions were made, and finally the con vention proceeded to poll King County. The delegation tried to insist on its right 1 to. poll its own vote, but It was demed by the convention. The vote of the coun ty resulted: Bryan, ; Layhue, 8.

THE YUKON IS VERY LOW -PREPAHATIOJKS FOR RAILROAD TO FORT SELKIRK. Mysterious Operations of -Prospectors Up Pelly River Indians Bring Out Rich. Quartz Interior Sews. FORT SELKIRK, Yukon Territory, Aug. 1. The river Is very low at present- and the large steamers are carrying only 1 half their usual amount of freignt. sp as to be able to get down stream. Between Fort Selkirk and White Horse the river is very shallow, and the many rocks and sandbars make it dangerous tor large or heavily loaded steamers at any time. But i from here down it Is navigable. Of course, if business with Victoria, Vancouver and Puget Sound shall increase, as it promises "to do, a railroad from Whitehorse to ANOTHER OREGON CADET THOMAS W. HAMMOND, OF ASHLAND. ASHLAND, Or., Aug. 15. Thomas W. Hammond, of this city, who was recently notified of his recommendation as cadet to the West Point Military Academy by Senator George W. McBride, has received official notice of- his appointment, and has forwarded his acceptance to Adjutant-General Corbln, at Washington. Mr. Hammond Is a son of the late A. P.Hammond, ex-Postmaster, and for many years a prominent citizen of Ashland, was born in Ashland, June 8, 1SS1. He graduated wlth high honors from the high school in lS9Sf and last year became a student In the State University, at Eugene. He was a competitor for appointment to West ' Point from this state by Representative Tongue, and in the preliminary examina tion young Hammond and the successful applicant were neck and neck In the race for first place, which finally fell to a Linn County young man, and Hammond was appointed alternate. Fort Selkirk will be an absolute necessity. A party of surveyors for the White Pass & Yukon railroad is now in the field, and this time next year is likely to see this place the terminus of that line. Whitehorse was a veritable canvas town six months ago, but the advent of the railroad and the purchase by the British America Corporation has helped to change this by bringing In mote people, and money, and good-sized buildings are rapidly taking the places of the canvas tents! At. present'there are about 10C0 in habitants. Last week the Canadian Gov ernment had SO acres of land on the left bank of the Yukon, opposite Whitehorse, surveyed for a reservation.. The1 Indian guides, who accompanied the Harriman-Devereux party have re turned and report every one well when they left the party at a tributary of the White River, July 23. Mr. Jamison, of Portland, is a member of this party. Captain Barrington, of the steamef Florence S., has been acquitted of all re sponsibility for the death of three peo ple, who were drowned when that steam er was wrecked at Five Fingers. It was proved, at the preliminary exam'natlon, that the Captain was off duty and asleep in his cabin at the time the accident oc curred. The pilot, who was in charge of the steamer at the time, has been held for trial. A party of prospectors will leave here today to go up the Pelly River. This is their third year on that river, but they refuse to say anything about the country or what they find there. There are sev eral parties up there now and as the In dians have brought some fine-looking quartz Into Selkirk from time to time, which they claimed to have found id the Pelly district, there is every reason to be lieve that we shall hear favorable reports from that district later on.

Suit for $5000 damages was filed against this county yesterday by August H. Rees, guardian aa litem of the heirs of Mrs. Terese Rees, who was killed in a run away accident December 2L 1SSS, about eieht miles from this city.
