SeML TACOMA, Wash, Aug- IS. J. M. 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.

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

sovereignty of any part of that district;
for the construction of good and perma

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

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.

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

from here down it Is navigable. Of course,

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.

WASHIGTON, Aug. 15. Soon after the
War Department abandoned Fort Sher
man. Idaho, as a mmtary port last
March and the property was turned over
to the Secretary ot the Interior, as are
all abandoned military posts, the Indian
office ordered an Inspector to the post
with a view to learning the advisability
of locating an Indian school there. The
agent on the Colville Reservation who
has jurisdiction in that localioa has Just
recommended to the Indian Bureau that
on account of the poor location and dis
tance of this school from the Indian set
tlements it would be Inadvisable to at
tempt the organization of an Indian
school there and the matter has been
dropped, the recommendation having
been approved by the Secretary ot Inte

By order of the Secretary of the Treas
ury, and the approval of the President,
two new quarantine stations are to be
established In Alaska, one at Cape Nome
and another at Dutch Harbor. On
July 2S. Secretary Gage called .the atten
tion of the President tq an act of Febru
ary 16, 1803, which authorized the Secre
tary of the Treasury to establish quar
antine stations at such points in the
United States as have no quarantine reg
ulations under state or municipal author
ity, where it Is deemed advisable to pre
vent the introduction or spread ot con
tagious -diseases. .
"In-accordance with the provisions of
this act," says Secretary. Gage, "it ap
pearing that no quarantine regulations
nor provisions for the execution of nec
essary quarantine meures have been
provided by the local or territorial au
thorities at Cape Nome or Dutch Harbor,
Alaska, it is hereby ordered that quar
antine stations shall be established for
those two ports by the Surgeon-General
of the Marine Hospital Service, which
shall give particular attention to incom
ing vessels, and bo conducted according
to the regulations of the Department
"It is further ordered that, with-regards
to vessels, cargo or persons leaving these
ports for other ports and places in the
United States, the Interstate quarantine
regulations shall be enforced."
In accordance with the Instructions of
this order, on the same day Assistant
Surgeons Fox and Moore, of Port Town
send, were detailed as quarantine offi
cers. Simultaneously an order was is
sued to Assistant Surgeon Earle, of Se
attle, detailing him as quarantine officer
at Cape Nome. Earle and Fox are to re
main in Alaska only through the open
season, being directed to return to the
States by the last revenue cutter that
leaves their respective stations. Earle
is to be assisted by Assistant Surgeon
Lloyd, also of Seattle.
Immediately after orders were Issued
for the establishment of these two sta
tions, the Marine Hospital Service
shipped to the new quarantine offlcers-
0000 vaccine points for Nome and Dutch
Harbor. A full equipment of disinfecting
apparatus and supplies was furnished
each of the officers and they were
equipped as hastily as possible for their
new duties. It is expected that with
what was provided, and what they pur
chased, they will be able to hold the
situation well In hand.
