Me- HAVE REFERRED TO VICTORY FOR HANNA Gains Full Control of Ohio Republican Convention. TICKET WILL BE NAMED TODAY Feature of the Brief Session "Was the Strong Address of Senator v Foraker--Hanna Will Be Permanent Chairman. COLUMBUS, O., June 2f. The Republi can State Convention to nominate candi dates for Governor and other state offi cers met here this afternoon. The fea ture of the brief session was the speech of United States Senator Foraker, the temporary chairman. After he had spoken and the several committees had been appointed, the convention ad journed until tomorow morning. The vital Issue today was not in the conven tion proper, but In the election of a State Central Committee. The delegates rep resenting each of the 21 Congressional districts met separately, and a committee man was named for each district. The result was a decided victory for the so called Hanna men, for they made a clean sweep, controlling districts that hereto fore have been nominated by the "insur gents." The result insures the election of Congressman Dick- Jas chairman of the state executive committee. Charles Foster, ex-Secretary of the Treasury, for many years a- delegate-at-large to National conventions, was de feated for member of the State Central Committee from the Thirteenth district because of his opposition to Senator Hanna. After his defeat, Mr. Foster ve hemently addressed the delegates of his district on cliques and intrigues, and on the danger of local Imperialism. Ex-Governor Bushnell had been elected as a dele gate, and had been made chairman of the Clark County delegation, but at the meet ing of the delegates of his district it was announced he would not attend the con vention. His friends gave some pointed reasons for Ills absence. The Hanna men have never before been able to control the party organization in the Columbus district, but today they secured everything. It was thought, after the Cuyahoga County Convention in Cleveland last week, that Senator Hanna would not get the solid support of his home delegation, but he secured both of the state committeemen in the Twentieth and Twenty-first districts. While the Hanna leaders were making their fight for state committeemen, they did not overlook the committee on credentials, and it assured tonight that none of the Daugherty men who are here as contest Ingrdetegates can-be seated. The state committee fight having been -fettled, the interest tonight centers in th platform to be reported. Senators Fora ker and Hanna were loudly cheered as they came upon the convention stage together. Senator Foraker was introduced as temporary chairman of the convention. He was enthusiastically received and spoke as follows: "Gentlemen of the Convention: "Our approaching election will be the most important to be held this year in the United States. It is but a state elec tion in name, but it will be distinctively National in both character and impor tance. "The administration of Governor Nash has been so wise, so economical, so just, and so efficient that it stands absolutely without criticism. There is no issue with respect to it, and none can bo made. The last General Assembly was a model. It enacted only wise laws, and in every way guarded the public welfare. "Our state Institutions are all In ex cellent condition, and the financial af fairs of the state were never more satis, factory. "If, therefore, only state officers and state questions were Involved we could be content and safely point to the record and claim the people's verdict. "But more is at stake, vastly more, and therefore we see the signs of coming bat tle and must expect determined opposi tion. "The Legislature chosen this year will be charged with the duty of electing a United States Senator and redisricting the state for representation in Congress. "We now have two Republican Senators and 17 Republican members in the House of Representatives. If the next Legisla ture should be Democratic, we will have but one Senator and not more than 12 Republican Congressmen, and probably not more than 10. the number we were allowed the last time a Democratic Legis lature gerrymandered the state. This re duced representation In the National House of Representatives would be fas tened upon us, not simply for the next Congress, but for the next 10 years, mak ing a net loss to us of not less than 25 votes in Congress for the next decade. It is this fact that gives the campaign upon which we are entering its National character. The Democratic Party. "What has the Democratic party done that entitles "it to a new hearing In the people's court? Has it turned a new leaf? Has It abjured free trade? Has it forsaken free silver? Has it cast out Populism? Has it followed Agulnaldo's advice and taken the oath of allegiance? Has It denied any article of its platform? Not one. If It has done nothing, what then does It propose to do? Can any man tell? Does any Democrat know? Great questions concern us. How will It deal with them? What about a merchant ma rine, the Nicaragua canal, Cuba, Porto Rica, the Philippines? These are stu pendous problems. They are worthy of the highest and best thought of the greatest men of America. Our power as a nation, our prosperity as a people, our good name, and our honor are all In volved. We cannot afford io grope in the dark, or guess, or experiment, or halt, or hesitate about such matters. If we are to send an additional number of Demo crats to Congress, how will they speaic and vote on these questions? Are the pol icies of McKinley to be continued or dis continued? Is our flag to come down or stay up? Where, iny Democratic friends, do you stand? We know where you stood last year, but where do you stand this year? What answer do we get? "We are told that although our elec tion has direct reference to our represen tation in Congress, and those great Na tional and international questions, yet we are not concerned about them at this time; that the next election is to deter mine only whether 3-cent fares shall be charged on street railroads, and whether the field and opportunities of the political boss shall be enlarged by municipal ownership of public utilities, and whether in the name of single tax the farmers and other real estate owners and holders shall be compelled to bear all the burdens of taxation, while those who hold mortgages and stocks and bonds shall be made a privileged class, and be exempted from all the expenses of gov ernment. These are not the questions we are to settle. They are brought forward only to divert attention from, the real Is sues and because they appeal to the dis contented and anarchistic classes. "The Democrats have made a great many serious mistakes, but they will scarcely commit the folly of adopting such doctrines. The' wise, conservative and patriotic men of that j)arty are pro testing against such a course, and their voice will most likely be heeded. But what then? The party will have recoiled, from a. precipice, only to fall back upon Itself. And what Is that? The leopard cannot change his spots,' neither can the tiger. The controlling spirit of Democ racy means this year just what it meant last year. We could not endorse it then; neither can we endorse .it now. If we would continue our prosperity we must uphold the policies that gave It to us. If we would maintain our National credit, and preserve our financial honor, we must keep out of power the party that destroy ed the one and threatened.the other. This Is no time to dally with frer trade, revive free silver or pet Populism. Appeal for Colored Voter. "Neither is it a time to show indiffer ence to the wrong the Democratic party Is committing today in the Southern States against the black men, whom it is robbing of his suffrage under the forms of constitutional amendments and legal enactments that are in violation of the Constitution of the United States. This is worse, if possible, than the inhuman lynchings of which we read almost daily, because it is without provocation, and i3 a blow aimed both at a class and the gov ernment o a nation. Constituted author ity must find a way to suppress these wrongs, or the Government will deserve to lose the support of a race that has shed its blocd for our flag In every war. Brave, heroic, gallant men have been they who, side by side with their white comrades, have borne our flag to victory in all our wars. They helped us to gain our inde pendence; to form our Union; to pre serve oiur National life; to carry liberty and freedom to Cuba, and to plant our banner In victory on the islands of the seas. They are entitled to the protection of the government for which they have so bravely fought As they have shared our labors and perils, so must they share our rewards. In what waj their rights will better be secured is an unsolved problem, but until they are fully pro tected, and Democratic persecutions and denials of Constitutional .lights have ceased, there should not be any restora tion of the Democratic party to power. "But there are other1 questions of the highest Importance. We are beset with new and untried difficulties. We have had a war. Wehave changed the map of IHhHIBHH HmHHk jBHB1HBmisHIsIsIsIsM BBn&gBBK x'xBBBBBBEaBBaiiBBB&Bsfflm Senator J. ft. Forolcer. Practically no doubt exists that the State Republican Convention of Ohio. In session at Toledo, will today, for a second time, nominate Gorge K. Nash for Governor of Ohio. The platform, which will be reported today, will contain a plank in favor of Senator Foraker succeeding himself. The .'.convention Is one of? the most Important In the history of the State of Ohio. the world. We have acquired new terri tory, and with It have come to us new du ties and new responsibilities. We have assumed them, and must faithfully , dis charge them or stand discredited before the nations. "The Republican party has an intelli gent policy on this subject. It has been proolalmed to the world. We have actea upon it. We have legislated to carry it into effect. We are executing it with" successful and triumphant results. JJf should have universal support, but "lif-" stead it has fierce opposition. It was at tacked last year as unconstitutional. The Supreme Court has answered that as sault, and now they are attacking the Supreme Court. "Mr. Bryan declares that the decision "of the Supreme Court in the Porto Rlcan cases is as infamous as the decision In the Dred Scott case, and calls upon Demo crats everywhere to rally for its over throw. Senator Tlllmaa denounces it as damnable, and says we are to have a bat tle to the death before it is finally ac cepted. Other Democrats, both great and small, say it means the end of the Repub lic; that McKinley isEmperor; that our liberties are lost; and all join In declar ing that the next great political contest will be as to whether this decision shall stand. If they make such an issue we can afford it. It will be the President, the Congress and the Supreme Court all "the departments of the Government on one side, and the Democratic party and its allies on the other. It will not be the first time we have had such an alignment of forces, and as always heretofore, patriot ism and Americanism will triumph. Porto Rico. "When we came to legislate for Porto Rico we found there a million people, more than five hundred thousand of whom did not own one dollar's worth of any kind of property, and more than eight hundred thousand of whom could not read or write in any language. None pf them knew anything about our institu tions, our laws, our judicial system, or anvthintr else connected with the Dractlcal administration of free popular govern-' ment. They had no system, of property taxation, no school system, and scarcely any kind of social order or organization. They had been wasted by war and devas tated by hurricane. They were helpless as children. From the first .moment of our occupation it was necessary to feed and t (Concluded oa Fifth Page.) SEATTLE PROGRESS Not a Heavy Grain Exporter, But Still Prospering. ALASKA. GOLD A GREAT FACTOR Neiv Steamship Llnea From Paget Sonnd to Europe May Affect Grain Trade Great Northera May Increase Her Wheat Traffic. S1&A.TTLE, June 24. Staff Correspond ence.) The Alaska mining boom gave Se attle such a start on the high road to prosperity that she will not easily be CANDIDATES BEFORE OHIO headed by any port on Puget Sound. The visitor to this city a year or two prior to the Klondike discoveries will remem ber the large number of four to six-story buildings all over the city with "for rent" signs in every window above the ground floor. A ride over the suburban car Hne3 would also give the impression that about four-fifths of the residences In the city were for rent and the rest of them for :sale. All this is now changed. Seattle has not only caught up with herself and banished all of the "for rent"' signs, but she is forging ahead at a gait fully equal to that which she exhibited in the height of her boom in the '80s. Dwellings are going up all over the city, and big busi ness blocks are again going skyward all along the principal streets. With new docks under construction at a number of points along the five-mile front age of the city, great difficulty Is expe rienced at times in making room for the numerous steamers which make this port their headquarters. The Klondike boom reached its height two years ago, but while it was on it poured so much money into Seattle that her people will not get through spending it for several years yet. Cape Nome was not a very good second for the Klondike, but it also dumped a good many millions into the pockets of the merchants, hotel men and transporta tion companies operating at this city. Cape Nome had hardly begun to line up with the "has-beens" when Uncle Sam came to the rescue with a transport bust, ness that has added millions to the wealth of Seattle. Ships which a private corporation could charter as long as they were needed at $400 per day, coat the Gov ernment from J600 to $S00 per day, and about half of the sum was added to the circulating medium which kept the wheels of .trade moving In Seattle. The big fleet of transports chartered at Seattle cflgures also required cargoes, and none of the Seattle merchants went into bankruptcy in filling orders from the Government. Repairs were also necessary on many of these transports, and most of the jobs were more profitable than the building of battle-ships from patriotic motives. The combined influences of the Klondike, Cape Nome and the transport business have placed Seattle on pretty firm footing again, and her energetic, rustling popula tion will probahly keep her there. Grain Exports Small. Seattle as a grain-exporting port is still jln her infancy. The year just closing Is about the first in her history when she T has had anything like good faculties on the east side of the bay with which to handle wheat, and the benefits which oth erwise might have accrued from these facilities were offset by a heavy move ment of wheat from Seattle territory to the East by rail. This city has the same kind of a "cinch" on any traffic origi nating in Qreat Northern territory that Tacoma has in any particular field where the Northern Pacific is in full power. Up to the present time but a comparatively small amount of wheat has come out of the country traversed by the Great North ern in the State of Washington, but grain men are very enthusiastic over the future of the business. According to men who are well posted on the productive powers of the territory in question, a yield of 10,000, 000 bushels on the lines of the Great Northern in Seattle territory is not be yond the range of possibilities within the next five years. Seattle is also inclined to demand some of the wheat trade which has heretofore been monopolized by Ta coma, and as this city is famous for get ting about everything it goes after, she will probably even up matters with Ta coma In a few years. European Steamship Lines. The estaollshment of the new steamship lines from Tacoma and Seattle to Europe by way of the Orient and Suez Canal Is exciting much attention from the grain REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. Governor George K. Nash. men on Puget Sound, and if the llnws be come permanent fixtures there will event ually be a big change In the method of shipping wheat to Europe. The China Mutual Steam Navigation Company, well known in Portland, has arranged a rejru lar schedule of sailing dates from Seat tle and Tacoma. and Dodwell & Co. are also operating a line from the same ports to Europe. Both of these lines do way business at all Orieptal ports, calling wherever they are offered 500 tons of freight. As the steamers are large car riers, they can take in half a cargo of wheat for Europe at a comparatively low rate and fill up the rest of their space with freight for the Orient, which is not always offering in sufficient quantities to fill up a big carrier. Trans-Pacific freight is discharged at Yokohama, Kobe, Hong Kong and Colombo, and at each of these ports the vacant space on board Is filled with freight for Europe, so that the steamer carries a full cargo the entire distance. Some idea of the inroads which these liners may make on the grain trade Is shown by the manifest of the last China Mutual steamer to leave Tacoma and Se attle. This steamer, the Ping Suey, load ed at Tacoma 7000 tons of wheat for Kerr, Gifford & Co. and Balfour, Guthrie & Co., who are among the heaviest shippers In Portland. This amount Is equal to two large-sized sailing ship cargoes, and on top of the wheat the steamer loaded 3000 or 4000 tons of Oriental freight. The wheat was carried at 35 shillings per ton. which was a lower rate than sailing ships would accept at that time. There is still a question about the per manency of this new wheat route, but if it should be continued It will offer ex porters great Inducements to operate at either Seattle or Tacoma. The Tacoma papers have indulged in such a vast amount of bombast about her great dock facilities that the impression gained by an outsider is that they are vastly su perior to those of Seattle. This Is not the case. The storage capacity of the Tacoma docks used exclusively for wheat may be greater than that of the Seattle wheat docks, but taking ail of the docks from the Great Northern's big holdings right around the front, and Including the West Seattle elevator, and Seattle has facilities for handling about as much freight as can be handled by Tacoma, and, owing to the superior arrangement of her docks, a much larger fleet of vessels can be ac commodated than can And a place to make fast at Tacoma. All of the Seattle docks are so arranged that vessels can He on three sides of them, while with the Ta coma docks, as In Portland, all freight must reach the ship from the front of the dock, there being no side slips. A large number of new docks have been built at Seattle within the past two years and others are now under construction, and yet there Is a demand for more. Local Steamboat Traffic. When the hard times struck Seattle in the early part of the '90s, it drove a large number of men out of the city. Tiring of the soup-house and the hand-out, they went to the country, and scattered along Hood's Canal, the rich valley of the Skag it, Vashon, Whldby and a number of oth er, fertile Islands, over Into the coast counties, where a few pioneers had al ready demonstrated the possibilities of the country. By force of circumstances, hundreds ot these Idle men became en gaged in farming, gardening, fishing, log ging and kindred occupations. Hundreds of other settlers came Into the same ter ritory about that time, and around them have grown up prosperous communities which collectively swell the local steam boat traffic of Seattle Into enormous pro portions. This mosquito fleet swarms around the docks. of Seattle at all hours of the day and night, and it is not an uncommon sight to see half a dozen of the steamers loading or discharging at (Concluded on Tenth Page.) iwMiBlJV la ' ' " i BIC EAST SIDE FIRE Block of Business Buildings Destroyed. STANDARD OIL PLANT ESCAPES Wolff & Zwlcker'i Iron Works in Danger for an Hoar Loss Above $60,000 Absence or Wind Aided the Department. Fire last night destroyed a. block of warehouses and business buildings bounded by East Hawthorne. East Madi son, Water and First streets, involving a loss of about $60,000. The Standard Oil Company plant and the Wolff & Zwicker Iron Works narrowly escaped destruc tion. Principal losers are: Dr. James Surman, 533.000 on buildings, insurance 512.000; Parlln- & Orendorff Company, ag ricultural implements, $15,000 to $20,000; the H. C. Albee Company, machinery, $7000, Insurance $3000; S. & L. Friedman's storehouse and second-hand machinery, $2000; J. D. French, stables, and furniture, $2000; P. Breuer, Baltimore saloon, $1000; Baltimore House, $500; M. E. Heacock, blacksmith, $500; The Hammond Manu facturing Company, $400, and other light losses amounting to about $1000. The first started about 11, and the alarm was sent out from box No. 214. From the best information obtainable the blaze broke out in the rear of the stable of J. D. French, on Fast Water street. Watchman John McGarlane, of the Wolff & Zwicker Company, and J. W. Martin, of the H. C. Albee Company, were among the first men to arrive on the scene. By that time the blaze has communicated tp the hay in the barn, and the flames had broken through the roof of the frame structure and were spreading rapidly. Engines 1, 4 and 7, hose-carts Nos. 2 and 3 and truck No. 2 responded. When Chief Campbell, Assistant Chief Laudenklos and District Engineer Holden arrived, orders were given for the second alarm. t,o bring the additional fire apparatus into service. By this time the blaze had spread to J. B. Halllwell's place and to J. D. French's stable. Breuer's saloon caught next. Fortunately a light northeast breeze was blowing at the time, and tho sparks were prevented flying into the shipbuilding yard of Wolff & Zwicker on the opposite side of Water streti. and the tanks of the Standard Oil Company, on the northward of the blazing pile. The heat in front of tho fire on the Water street side was intense, and in sev eral instances firemen seized hose and sent streams of water on their comrades, who worked close to the blaze. At 11:33 tho cornice of Wolff & Zwicker' sheds caught Are. but Chief Campbell saw the danger and directed a stream of water toward the sheds. In a very short time all chance of tho Are spreading in that direction was averted. It was an exciting scene, and Are engines dashed up here and there, while lines of hose were swiftly uncoiled, and away the horses raced for more hose. At this point, the Are started to creep up Hawthorne avenue, and It swallowed ,up Flnnell's shoe shop, Schwlnd's grocery, and at last licked up the brick factory ot the Parlln-Orendorff Company, where it was stopped by the railroad track.
