Wolcott, of the United States Geological Survey, has written a letter with reference to a request made by Sen ator -Foster for a geological and topo graphical survey of parts of Southeastern Washington, Northeastern Oregon and Western Central Idaho. Director Wolcott says: ""Plans for the work for the next fiscal yfear have already "been made and ap proved by the department, so that it will not.be-practicable to enter at present Into any extensive operations In the regions Indicated on account of lack of available funds, although the desirability of doing sd'in the future when the conditions are nforo. favorable is recognized. The plans aboveVeferred to Include work In the Re public district of Washington, the Coeur d'AIene district in Idaho, and a combined topographic and geologic survey has Just been completed at Baker City and Sump ter districts, in Eastern Oregon. '"Referring to the question of oil and gas, a careful reading of the report by Mr I. C. Russell on the district described in, the petition Indicates the country a6 most unpromising for either gas or petro leum. If It has been found In springs or other outcrops, it Is a most exceptional occurrence. To the end, therefore, that the surveymay obtain all available in formation prior to undertaking any work In accordance with the petition. It Is de sirable .that the best recognized authori ties, of The region be requested to give a minute description by letter of the 'Indica tions of natural gas and illuminating pe troleum that have been discovered,' with specimens of the petroleum, forwarded to this office. If It Is. found as maltha or as a. saturated sandstone, send these. They will be carefully examined by the survey, anjl so far as natural gas or petroleum Is concerned, tts future operations will be based on the results." M SHIP IX QUARANTINE. Six Ch'lncie Thought to Have Died . -ol Plague on Voyage. SAN DIEGO, Cal., June 24. The British ship Carlisle City, which arrived here Saturday from Hong Kong, Is still de layed in quarantine. The deaths of six Chinese on the voyage occurred under circumstances which the local quarantine officer declares Indicated plague. There, was 'no sickness on the vessel when she arrived, and none has since developed. She lies several miles from the city, and every precaution Is taken to prevent any person on board from coming ashore. There is no alarm here, as it Is not be lieved that even, if the vessel Is now in fected the disease can be communicated to the mainland. Some surprise Is expressed here that the disease which appeared on the Carlisle City should be positively declared to have been plague. There was no physician on the vefesel, and the bodies of the dead were thrown overboard, the last one sev eral days before the ship reached port. I UNION SERVICES. Sermojis Preached hy Two Portland Ministers Large Audience. FOREST GROVE, Or., June 24. Many people attended the union services of the churcheslof this place and Its vicinity, at the' campgrounds here yesterday. Ser mons wele preached by Rev. Dr. Rock-" well and $v. Dr. Ghormley, of Portland, and Rev. M. D. Dunning, of Forest Grovfr. Rev. Mr. Dunning saldln part: "'Safety for our country lies not in ma terial resources and wealth, or material defenses' that we may construct. "What cares the prisoner for etone walls and steel bars? These cannot confine nim. "Witness the escape of prisoners at Salem a few days ago Cnlna built the biggest stone wall ever built, but has It proved of any use In saving Her from other nations? The safety of the country lies in the peo. pie, In men. It was not the mighty war ships that won the battles of Manila Bay and Santiago; but the men behind the guns and In the hold. It was not ditches or barricades that won the battle of Gettysburg, but. the men who swung Into line at the word of command, faced shot and shell, and' freely poured out their life's blood. "But enduring safety for a country" lies In a particular kind of men and women. "Tis true that in God alone Is safety for any nation, .out his watchful care can only be expressed through the hearts and lives of men. Men must become Godlike. There must be men of honesty, purity. Justice, righteousness. Where. these are lacking th,e nation perishes," GOLD FROM ALASKA. Treasure Has Bcun to Flow From the North. SEATTLE, June 24. Gold receipts by steamer Dolphin from the Klondike this morning are: For the Canadian Bank of Commerce, $1,000,000; Individual dust, $350, 000. There was shipped from Dawson via St. Michael June, 12 $2,500,000, and there is now on the way up the river (estimated) SI 000 000 Alaska's output of gold from the Spring clean-up has started in a steady flow to the United States. Over three tons of gold, or $2,500,000, Is on its way down the Yukon. It will be brought Xrom St. Michael probably on the Roanoke. June 20 over $1,000,000 was on its way up the Yu kon from Dawson. It will probably arrive on the next steamer. The Dolphin left Skagway June 20. The big shipments of goid she brought came up the Yukon on the river steamers Zea landia and Canadian, leaving Dawson June 12. The gold was removed to the assay office early this morning. Among the large individual holders of treasure, on the Dolphin are R. Barton, A. Daub and the latter's partner, Mr. Dickey. Daub and Dickey are traders In Dawson. Mr. Barton is a clalmowner In the Klon dike district. Together they perhaps pos sessed $100,000. The remaining $250,000 was divided among the rest of the passengers, but they were reticent about it end kept their sacks in their staterooms'. According to advices on the Dolphin, the miners on Eldorado Creek have about finished their clean-up for the season. The miners on the other creeks are also well along with the work of segregating the gold from the earth in which It is dug out during the "Winter, and an estimate of the total clean-up for the district for the season places the amount at between $15,000,000 and $20,000,000. The next steamer from Skagway will probably be crowded to the guards with returning Klondikers. Over 150 Klon dlkers arrived at Skagway the day the Dolphin left. Very few of them, how ever, came down on her. Between 100 and 150 Dawsonltes were en route to Skagway from "White Horse, and fully 200 passengers from Dawson were said to be In "White Horse. All steamers leav ing Dawson had full passenger lists, and two of these boats, well loaded, were on the voyage up the river. The body of W. T. Illff, who died at Skagway after undergoing an operation for Bright's disease, was brought down on the Dolphin. BOAT CAPSIZED. Young: Man and Girl Drowned Tnro Girl Saved.

"The adjustment?' of all grievances be tween the foreign powers and China is now In a fair way to be accomplished," said Colonel Riemann, "but pending the final restoration of peace Germany finds It advisable to keep a considerable guard In the country." Judge Humphreys Arrived. SAN FRANCISCO. June 24.-Judge A. S. Humphreys, of the United $tates Cir cuit Court at Honolulu, whoserecent ac tion in sentencing two prominent lawyers ot that city to 30 days imprisonment for contempt of court and their Immediate pardon by Acting Governor Cooper caused such a stir In Hawaiian political ancr legis lative circles, has arrived here with his family.

He may erect a bujldlng If he can not find one suitable for his purpose. BIG. VICTORY FOR HANNA (Continued from First Page.) support them by tens of thousands to prevent starvation. "If the Constitution and all the laws of the United States, not locally inapplica ble, had followed the flag and gone into force and effect there as soon as It was raised, as the Democratic party contend ed, it would have been impossible to have relieved their distress, or to have estab lished a successful government 'of any kind. Instead of peace, order and prog ress, which we have In that island today, we would have had universal chaos and universal, failure. . "To have adopted such a construction of our Constitution would have made the Filipinos and the Porto Rlcans1, most of whom are wholly unfit to gofern them selves, citizens of the United states, with full power to participate with all other citizens in governing us. Such a con struction ot the Constitution Tvould have been a libel on George Washington ' and his Illustrious associates whi? framed it. To hold that It so restricted our power would be to deny us an essential attri bute of sovereignty," and make us inferior In the family of nations: It woilld have been not only the end bf expansion, but also a denial of the power necessary to the control of the Caribbean Sea, and the approaches and natural defenses of an Isthmian canal. It would have been worse than a nilstake. It would have been a stupid crime against the(progress and development of our country. "We rejected all such belittling and un American views, and proceeded on the theory that our Government has all the power of the most powerful: that we' are rightfully at the Tiead of the nations in sovereign power as we are In physical and political power; that'our Constitution. Is the Constitution of the United States of America, but not the constitution also, until Congress so provides, of the terri tories and possessions belonging thereto, no matter where situated or how Inhab ited. We think the Constitution means what it says when it provides that 'the Congress shall make all needful rules and regulations respecting .territory of other property belonging to the United States.' "As a result there Js jjnore prosperity, more contentment, more happiness, more schools, and more promise for the future in Porto Rico today than In that Island at any time before during the last 200 j ears. Will "Never Be Reversed. "That decision of --the Supreme Court will never be reversed. Men may con demn it and rave ..about it, but as the years go by its wisdom, beneficence and sound judgment will stand out more and more conspicuously. It has cpme at an opportune momentl The great work of the hour is the establishment of a stable and successful government In the Philip pines. Had the "Democratic view pre vailed this woujjf have been impossible. The way Is now clear and well defined. We can go forward Intelligently. We must find markets for the surplus or quit pro ducing It. We cannot restrict without cutting down the pay roll. That Is one thing the Republican party never short ens, but always lengthens. We can get partial relief "by tariff revision and reci procity treaties with European and South American countries, but the greatest markets of tfie world are In the Far' East. We want our lair share of them, and In tend to have It, and the way to secure It Is not to haul dpwn the flag and run away, but -to remain and hold on to the position, the prestige, the advantage and the opportunities that we now enjoy. When men talk about overthrowing the Supreme- Court decisions In . the Porto Rlcan cases, they are also striking atvthe Philippines, and are raising Issues that not only affect the .vital character of our Government, but also affect the wages, of every inan.in the United States who eats. his bread in the sweat of his face. "Itieems surprising- that any party could?take such apposition, and yet It Is just like the Democratic party to do so, for during, the -last 50 years It has never conceded to the general Government any disputed-power-snor struck one lick for labor. It denied the power to preserve the. Union.. It denied the power to abolish slavery; It denied the power of recon struction; It denied the power to protect our industries: It denied the power to es 'tabllsh the gold standard, and now It de nies the power to hold possessions, and govern them according to common sense, although the Constitution Itself expressly so provides. And as to labor, although constantly posing as Its friend and cham pion, it has been at all times Its inveter ate enemy. The Enemy of Labor. "It was the enemy of labor when it up held slavery, by nrhlch all labor was dis graced and degraded. It was the enemy of labor through all the years of Its oppo sition to a protective tariff by which we saved the labor of this country from competition with the underpaid, labor of Europe. It is the enemy of labor now In Its contention that we have no power to prqtect the wageworkers of America from cheap labor of our possessions In the tropics and the Orient; and yet we hear, year after year, Democratic appeals for the electoral support of the wage workers of our state and country based on the assumption that the Democratic party is the special friend and guardian of all who toll. "The labprlng men of this country are men of brains, of intelligence, of Judg ment, of keen memory and of good asso ciations, and therefore they have denied these appeals; they .will deny them again, for they know that if Democfatlc Ideas prevail prosperity will vanish and the pride and glory of the hour will turn to shame and humiliation. Whatever else we may be, let us be Americans, and be worthy of the events with which we are associated." The convention adopted rules submitted by Congressman Dick and then the vice presidents, assistant secretaries and mem bers of the various committees from the 21 Congressional districts were announced, and the convention adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. The committee on permanent organization selected Sena tor Hanna for permanent chairman, and continued the rest of the temporary or ganization. Senator Hanna will address the convention on taking the chair tomor row. The n$w state committee was or ganized with P. W. Durr ,as chairman and Martin Slater as secretary. Senators Foraker.and Hanna, the Ohio Republican Congressmen, numerous ex. state Legislators . and other leading Re publicans arrived yesterday and were In conference during the night. The Indica tions are that the old ticket, headed by Governor Nash, will be renominated, with one or two possible exceptions. There are several candidates for the nomination for Supreme Judge, for which the tenure Is six years, and for Clerk of the Supreme Court, for which the tenure Is three years. ..Thaddeus A. Mlnshall has had three terms on the Supreme bench and J. B. Allen three terms as Clerk of the Su preme Court. The former has as his op ponents W. B. Crew, J. L. Price and D. A. Russell. The latter has as his contest ants A. C. Crltchfleld, Lawson E. Emer son, W. L McLean, Alva B. Hall, New man M. Miller and J. C. Copeland. The control of the Legislature Is of un usual Importance' this year, as the next General Assembly will apportion the "state under the census of 1900 for Legislative represen'tatron'' as well" as other purposes. It also selects the successor of Senator Foraker, and as he Is considered the lead er Id the-"coming campaign, much interest was taken today In his keynote speech as temporary chairman of the convention. While the platform" will endorse the ad ministration oi President McKlnley and Governor Nash, strongly, it is stated that Senators Foraker and Hanna will be con sulted on the declarations of National is sues, and Governor Nash on state Issues. The only Issue causing any 'difference of opinion Is that of local option. Caldwell Not a Candidate. Lieutenant-Governor Caldwell caused quite a stir tonight by announcing that he -would not be a candidate for renom inatlon. The representatives of the brew ers express. their displeasure at what they call, the -enforced retirement of Caldwell and tho recent defeat of State Senator Telber and others for renomlnatlons, while the author of the Clark local option law has been renominated In Columbus for Representative. There now seems no doubt that Senator Carl Nlppert will be nominated for Lieutenant-Governor. Nlppert was formerly principal of schools at Cincinnati, and afterward police prosecutor. A forecast of the ticket Indicates the following: Governor, George K. Nash; Lieutenant Governor, Carl L. Nlppert; Supreme Judge, W. L.-Crew; Attorney-General, J. A. Sheets; State Treasurer, J. B. Cam eron. The Platform. The committee on resolutions conclud ed Its work before 11 o'clock tonight. General Grosvenor was made chairman of the general committee, and Congressman Dick was chairman of the sub-committee that drafted the document. The platform reaffirms the Philadelphia declarations and indorses the Administration of Presi dent McKlnley and Governor .Nash. It commends the last Ohio Legislature, ana especially the records of Senators Foraker and Hanna, with the specific recommenda tion of the former for re-election. A- care ful revision of the taxation laws of Ohio is recommended, so that corporations, rather than property, shall bear the bur den of taxes. The faith of the party Is specifically . expressed in the ., President's Insular policy In commercial" and tariff matters, , and In never' taking do'wn the flag.

HIDDEN IS INDIGNANT Over" Elimination of Women From Pan-American Commission. VANCOUVER, Wash., June 24. Mrs. M. L. T. Hidden, one of the women mem bers of the board of managers of the Washington Pan-American Commission appointed by Governor Rogers, returned here yesterday from Puget Sound. Mrs. Hidden is Indignant over the action of the Legislature In the recent special ses sion In so amending the act creating the commission as practically to eliminate the women members of the board. S.he feels especially indignant over this action In view of the recent decision of the Su preme Court In the case of the women of the board against State Auditor Atkinson, in which a writ of mandamus was asked for compelling the audtor to allow the women commissioners their expenses for attending the exposition and In which the decision was favorable to the women. Mrs. Hidden said: "Notwithstanding the personal Indignities we have had to bear since our first attempt to perform the duties for which we had occasion to suppose we were appointed, both Mrs. Barr and myself feel more, deeply this In justice of the Legislature on account of the detriment It will be to the exhibit .front this state In depriving It of attrac tive' and valuable features which we had planned, and more Important still-1 be cause It -deprives" the southWes'tern" sec tion of the 'state of representation on the board. Governor Rogers Informed m,e personally that he failed to appoint a male member from this section because he expected me to look after the Inter ests of the Coluumbla River counties. Why the Governor should now take a stand against the women commissioners Is a mystery. State Senator Rands, who, I understand, voted for the amendment commission act, previously favored myt appointment and personally encouraged me in my contention for my rights as a member of the board."' SUPREME COURT ORDERS. Oregon Tribunal Sets Dates for Fil ing of Briefs, SALEM, Or., June 24. The Supreme Court decided no appeal cases today but the following orders were made: John Klernan, respondent, vs. V. Kratz, appellant; respondent allowed until Au gust 22 to file brief. Charles Brown et al., respondents, vs.. Mary Case, respondent; appellant allowed until August 1 and respondents 60 days thereafter to file briefs. Arthur B.

Veazle act as referee to take the testi mony and report it to the Supreme (Jourt. Oregon & California Railroad Company, and Southern" Pacific Company, respon dents, vs. Jackson County, appellant; pe tition for rehearing denied. In denying this petition, however, the court corrects a mistake in figuring, so. as to Increase the assessed valuation of roadbed from $4500 per mile to $5000 per mile. ' Intent to Kill Charged.

At this time the whole block was one tre mendous blaze, and the burning timbers roared and cracked like a multitude of furnaces. At 11:50 the walls of Breuer's saloon and Albee's factory fell In wltha crash. Just then there was a yell of "Live wire" from the crowd stationed opposite the saloon, and a thin, snaky-like 4ine hung In mid air and snapped. A lineman was In the neighborhood and quickly cat the wire.' . Just as midnight rang, the. Are brigade attached to Wolff & Zwickef's placed its yard-hose In operation, and the stream cooled the telegraph pole In front of the yard, while a tremendous" noise wa heard from the direction of Albee's ware house, due probably to cans containing gasoline exploding. With the Intense heat, the tanks of the Standard Oil Company smoked, when wa ter was turned on them, and tne timbers of a wooden roadway between ihe oil es tablishment and Albee's place began to burn. Firemen were 6ent below the bridge to fight this new danger. By persistent work, the warehouses of the Star Mill Company and he Qarr-Scott Company, on Hawthorne avenue, opposite the blazing warehouses, were saved lrom the flames. About 12:15, the fire was under control, and a few of the companies we're ordered home. All throughout the Are the fire-' men were.handicapped by a Jack of suffi cient water, as the main from which .they drew their supply Is only a six-Inch one, capable of supplying three streams. It was also a fire In which a flrebOat weuld have been eminently useful. Two horses are supposed to have been burned In French's stable. About 5000 spectators watched the blaze, and people drove to the scene in carriages and hacks. .

They Attempted to Serve an Injunc tion In the Coal Fields of "West Virginia. HUNTINGTON, W. Va., June 24. To day a posse of Deputy United States Mar. shals, led by A. C. Hufford, of Blue fields, were fired on by the strikers, and forged to flee from the coal fields at Mate awan. On their journey to Blueflelds, the officers were forced to travel 25 miles on foot, owing to the destruction of the railroad by floodf They reached Mateawan Sunday evening, and Immediately began serving notices of the Injunction, which had been Issued by Judge Jackson, of the Federal Court. A mob of strikers fol lowed, armed to the teeth with firearms. On all sides could be heard the cry "Down with government by Injunction." Women called the vengeance of heaven upon the Marshals, and children hurled stones at them. When nightfall came, notice had been, served on the strikers of all the coal companies but one, and they were to be served at Thacker. Fearing an ambush, the officers waited until morning and early today set out for Thacker. Some time before noon they attempted to serve the injunction. A mob followed, enraged to desperation at the sweeping character of the Injunction. One reckless fellow fired the first shot, and almost Instantly the mountain sides echoed the reports that followed the crack of 20 or 30 rifles. The deputies fled, barely escaping with their lives. The strike situation is assuming a most serious stage. Sheriff Hatfield has with drawn all his deputies because It Is said he does not believe In the policy being used to put down the strike. The United States Marshals have been alone, and after being chased out of the field today It Is believed they will be strongly rein forced and return to fight when they ap jear to enforce the Injunction. A band of strikers almost 1000 strong have crossed over Into Kentucky and are occupying the mountain passes. Here they are out of reach of the Deputy Marshals, and command the entrances to the col lieries. It Is said that at the mass meet ing at Thacker Saturday night the miners decided to Ignore the Injunction. OFFICERS WILL NOT SERVE. Will Not Stop Intercourse Between Strikers and Nonunion Men. MATTEAWAN, W. Va., June 24. No developments of a serious nature mark the situation at the scene of the strike In the Thacker-Matteawan coal field. At a secret caucus held at Thacker Saturday night, It Is understood vigorous expres sions were made by strikers In condemna tion of Judge Jackson's sweeping Injunc tion, but the conservatives were In the majority, and no plan of campaign was mapped out looking to any trespass on its conditions. However, the statement is made that the men at work, representing a small percentage ot the 2000 Involved, will be urged to unite with the strikers. To add to the seriousness of the situation, Sheriff Hatfield and a force of picked men who reported for guard duty at the mines have refused to serve, and returned to Williamson. To the Associated Press representative Deputy White said last night: "We declined to take a hand In the con troversy because the demand of the oper ators that all Intercourse between the strikers and the nonunion men be sus pended was manifestly unjust. We agreed to preserve order, prevent interierence of a violent nature, and protect mining property, but beyond this we could hot in fairness go' The guards on duty In the, six collieries in the district are selected from the ranks of the nonunion men, and number all told about 100. They are heavily armed. Thus far they have succeeded In enforcing the company's demand against trespassing by strikers. It is expected that a crisis will be reached Wednesday, when It Is cur rently reported writs of ejectment will be served on strikers occupying company houses. This, if anything, will precipi tate hostilities, as no't even temporary quarters could be provided for the home less men and their families. Frank A. Hill, of Roanoke, president of the consolidated companies, was hero Sunday In conference with his subordi nates and attorneys, and left hurriedly for Kenova. It Is believed he has gone to Charleston to appeal for co-operation of the state militia. As regards the cause of the strike, there Is a difference of opinion. The union workers demand recognition of the union, and allege that discriminations are made In favor of nonunionlsts. They have as a particular grievance the discharge of one of their number, a colored man, for losing time to attend the Mlneworkers' meeting at Indianapolis, as a delegate from their lodge. On the other hand, the operators maintain that the .strike is due to the refusal of Superintendent Lambert, Df the Maritime and Lick Fork mines, to discharge a miner from the Elkhorn field who declined to Join the union on the 1 ground that he already belonged to too many orders to justify nim in tne addi tional expense. The wage question does not figure In the strike. The wages paid average from $3 to $5 per day, and are entirely satisfactory. Five hundred dol lars a week In relief funds Is coming Into the field from the United Mlneworkers of America. It Is stated on good authority that warrants will be Issued for all par ticipants In the recent riots by the Mingo County authorities. The men will be re leased on ball, and future eruptions will then come under the jurisdiction of the Federal authorities. All Is quiet late to night, and as several hundred of the strikers are working on repairs on the Norfolk & Western roadbed at Panther, no developments are expected tomorrow. PEACEMAKER A MANSLAYER.
