The State Republican Convention met ir Portland jesterday, and nominated a full ticket, headed by W. J. Furnish, of Pendleton, for Governor. Nomina tions for Senator and Representative In Joint districts were also made, and a strong platform was adopted. The fight for State Printer, which was won by J. R. "Whitney, of Linn County, was the only exciting contest. No candidate for United States Senator received In dorsement. REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET. Governor "W. J. Furnish, of Uma tilla. Supreme Judge R.

Superintendent of Public Instruction I J. H. Ackerman, of Multnomah. By the overwhelming vote of 248 to 92 "William J. Furnish wag yesterday made the Republican nominee for Governor of Oregon by the state convention, defeas ing H. E. Ankeny, offered as a substi tute for T. T. Geer, whose cause waB deserted by his friends eo effectually that his r.amb waa not mentioned before the convention. Following the Furnish vic tory R. S. Bean was nominated for Su preme Judge, F. I. Dunbar for Secretary of State, Charles S. Moore for State Treas urer, all by acclamation;. A M. Crawford was made the candidate for Attorney General after a lively race with A. S. Hammond; J. H. Ackerman won In a walk against W. C. Alderson for Superintend ent of Public Instruction, and J. R. Whit ney, of Linn, was named for State Printer as the result of the only really exclUng contest of the dayr A strong ticket of Senators and Representatives was put in the field by the eeveral joint districts, and a platform was adopted embracing the cardinal principles on which the party will make Its campaign. No Indorsement was given any candidate for United States Senator. It required from 11 o'clock In the morning until 11 o'clock at night to complete the work of the convention, but tho delegates were determined to do what was before them without delay, and they felt when they swarmed out of the Armory and returned to the hotel lobbies to talk It over that they had done a good day's work. Although It was expected that Mr. Fur nish would become the nominee of the convention, the vote he received was a surprise even to his supporters. But he had made a determined campaign, and he made it well. Instead of resting on his oars when Multnomah declared for him, Tuesday night, but he and his enthusias tic crowd of rooters kept at work far Into the night, and when morning broke a cloud of despair hung heavy over the Geer camp In the Hotel Perkins. A switch was- the only thing which offered the slightest hope of defeating the enterpris ing bunchgrasser, and Mr. Ankeny, who was already the candidate of Southern Oregon, was selected as the recipient of the Geer strength. But it was too late. The rush to march In the Furnish parade spread to the Geer ranks like wildfire, and county after county that -would have stood in line for the Governor, had his name been presented, fled like sheep be fore a storm into the Furnish corral. When the convenUon assembled In the morning and R. A. Booth, who was made temporary chairman, took the rostrum, he read the news of Eastern Oregon's com ing triumph in the scores of blue Furnish badges that adorned the delegates before him. Only Doc Keene, of Jackson, of all the Geer captains, was active. He was bustling about from delegate to delegate, arranging for the transfer to Ankeny, and hope shone In his face. But the rest of the Geer people wore a look of resigna tion, and, while they rallied feebly round Mr. Ankeny, they were surprised only at the extent of their defeat, and when, after the ballot had been taken, their rugged old candidate moved to make It unanimous, even Keene, who had led all the Ankeny cheering, was loudest In responding "Aye!" Charles ,A. Johns, of Baker, himself an aspirant for Gubernatorial honors but a few hours before, was among the first to second Mr. Furnish's nomination, which he did gracefully, and without a shade of rancor. Then county after county sent Its candidate to the platform In the in terest of the future nominee. All the old adjectives were hurled at the heads of the former supporters of Geer. "Triumphant," "invincible," "unimpeachable," "unwaver ing," were sent forth so thick and fast that finally Tilmon Ford came back with the stentorian announcement that jwhlle ha hail nnthincr ntralnst Mr. Furnish, he &.gsfe . . .. - , v believed In supporting a man who, from the earliest, the darkest and the most des perate days of the Republican party had voted that ticket, and no other. Oratory, however, was wasted, for the delegates knew when they came into the hall how they were going to vote, and they were but Impatient listeners to any Interrup tions. Mr. Furnish was present during the balloting, and observed the proceedings with attention. When the cheers of dele gates and spectators told him that he had passed the safety line of 172, he turned a trifle pale, but said nothing, and even on the announcement of the vote, when every one In the building was yelling "Furnish! Furnish! FURNISH!' he seemed reluctant to bo brought Into prominence. But at last he yielded to the clamor, and, going to the platform, thanked the convention In a speech as brief as his campaign had been effective. He was a man of action, not of words, he said. He could only say that he would promise the Republicans of, the state a campaign that would justify their faith in him and would end in victory-It was past 5 o'clock when the nomina tion for Governor was made, for, ow ing to a long delay In the preparation of the platform and the antediluvian method of taking the vote by Individual and secret ballot, instead of by counties, business had been anything but expedi; tlouB. But a motion to adjourn, ema nating from a, hungry Multnomah dele-' date, was Jubilantly voted down, and the convention proceeded to name the officers who were so fortunate as to be with out opposition, namely. Supreme Judge, Secretary of State and State Treasurer. Then the pangs of hunger began to gnaw at the vitals of the visitors, they con sented to a recess until 7 o'clock, and soon every waiter in every restaurant In town was devoutly wishing that conven tions were held but once In every 'bther leap year. Signs of a coming storm over the nomi nation for State Printer begin to show themselves as the ticket-builders returned, to the Armory, some of them smoking fit cigars and seemingly at peace with tha world, and others rushing hither and thither "seeing" delegates. Graham Glass, Jr., of Multnomah County, was early on hand and was busy with a mis sion, the full force of which dawned on his surprised and terrified opponents a little later In the evening. Some half score other candidates for the fat office in the state-house basement were urging reluctant delegates either to nominate or support them, and every where there were Indications that If the fight for the most desired office on the ticket was not inter esting. It would not be due to lack of candidates. But at the call to order more Immediate business was taken up that of nominating a candidate for Attorney-General, and the names of Austin S. Hammond, of Jackson, and A. M. Crawford, of Douglas, wero soon elo quently placed before the convention. It was a close race, and anybody's, up to the counting of the last few ballots, when Crawford pulled ahead by a neck and went under the wire, 14 votes ahead, and five more than was necessary for tho choice.

HIS IS FIXED POLICY Roosevelt .Will Not, Change Irrigation Views. MEMBERSOF CONGRESSTOLD SO Delegation Calls on President to Force II I m to Alter His Declnion The House Bill Mast Be Amended. WASHINGTON, April 2. A party of Western Cpngressmen interested in Irri gation legislation today marched up to the 'White House to force the President to withdraw hla suggestions as to modi fications In the pending bill and then they marched down again. Tho President was not alarmed over tle demonstration, but quietly and firmly told these gentlemen Just wHat he told Representative Moody and others last Saturday that the pres ent law was too loosely constructed, giv ing many opportunities for fraud and speculation in reclaimed lands, and that the state control feature was objection able to him. Today's conference was arranged by Representative Mondell, who announces that he will not support the President's bill, In the hope of securing a retraction of the sections in controversy, and was attended by Chairman Tongue, of the committee. Representatives Mondell. Sutherland, Newlands and Metcalf, and Senator Dietrich. Tongue and Mondell argued with the President In support of the state control feature, but the Presi dent was' inelstenL Objection was then made to Inserting a provision in the bill requiring that beneficiaries, under the pro posed act, should be bona fide residents upon the land to be reclaimed, it being stated that in many Instances practical farmers on Irrigated lands do not have their homes on the farms, but live In near-by towns, and such a provision would prevent the renUng of reclaimed farms. It Is understood that the Speaker will nllnur tho hill to eomp un later In tho nroc. ! ent session, but If the suggested amend ments arc not Incorporated In the bill at the Saturday meeting It will not have Eastern support. MOODY OX HIS DEFEAT. Not Grievlnsr Over Hi Failure te Be Renominated. WASHINGTON. April 2. Until they read the brief dispatches in the papers this morning to tha effect that Tongue had been renominated and Moody had been de feated by Williamson, the majority of the members of Congress were not aware that there was any contest against Moody in his district. During the time Moody has boen a member of the House he has made a great many warm friends, who very generally exoressed their regret that he Photo by Moore, Dekum. bulldlnff. was to retire from the House. Comment ing upon the convention in the Second Dis trict. Representative Moody said: "The nomination of Williamson was not unexpected. Personally, I am not griev ing over my failure to be renominated. In the Interest of the district I should have been glad to have been returned, since, with the prestige of two terms of service and my favorable committee as signments, I hoped to have made sure the completion of the canal project between The Dalles and Celllo and to Insure fur ther exploration and development of the mineral resources of Eastern Oregon, to gether with the Inaugurating of the re clamation schemes in the seml-arld por tions of the district. The National ques tions upon which I was elected have been satisfactorily settled. I can retire with the consciousness of having done my duty to both the party and district." TONGUE HIGHLY GRATIFIED. Renomlnntlon Indicates Hln Work Has Pleased Constituents. "WASHINGTON, April 2. Speaking of his rcnomlnatlon, Representative Tongue said: "I am exceedingly gratified with the unanimity with which the nomination was made. This would seem to indicate that my efforts In the past to represent the In terests of the district and state have met with the approval of the First Congres sional District I have done the best I could to forward those Interests, and have never spared myself, and am exceedingly gratified to know that these efforts have been appreciated. It Is the greatest re ward that can come to any man in public life. I shall be exceedingly solicitous to see that the friends who have so gener ously and loyally supported me will not be compelled to regret their action." LITTLE SHOW FOR TERRITORIES. BUI for Their Admission Is Opposed by Senate and Honse Leaders. WASHINGTON, April 2. The House committee on territories, in reporting the omnibus bill for Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico, rather displeased the man agers. -Those who were anxious for the admission of these territories have been given to understand by the Speaker that this Is not the time to urge such action. Party policy Is against the admission of the territories, as it seems to be quite well understood that these territories are Democratic. The Immigration to all the territories has been from Southern States, and," although they occasionally are Re publican, and two of them now have Re publican delegates, it Is admitted that they are very likely to go Democratic If they come In as states. The House man agers do not want them admitted, nor do the party leaders in the Senate, and it is doubtful if the omnibus bill getsa show in this Congress. Bad Storm In Pennsylvania. EBENSBURG, Pa,, April 2. The storm blowing here for the last three days Is equal to the worst of the Winter. The Ebensburg branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad Is snowed up, and the night train due here at 9 o'clock has not been able to get through yet. A locomotive sent out to pull the stranded train through is off the track in deep snow, as is also the Cresson work train. A big force Is now at work'attemptlng to open the road. Stock In Snowdrift on Great North ern, "With Food and Fnel Scarce Attempted. Suicide ol Traveler. . ST. PAUL, April 2. Passengers arriving today on a Great Northern train due last Friday tell of being snowbound for four days and five nights on the prairies of North Dakota In the worst blizzard the Northwest has seen In many years, with, only food enough for two frugal meals a day, and with such a small amount of fuel that the ladies had to wrap them selves In blankets and the men wear their overcoats day and night to keep from freezing. The train was completely lost to the world. Last Thursday afternoon It picked Its precarious way out of Wllllston In the hope of being able to reach Mlnot, some 14 miles to the east, before night. Almost midway, at a little stopping-place called Ray, where there Is only a siding, a water tank and a coal shed, the train was stalled. The engineer thought he could run the engine back to Wllllston and get aid, and, taking the conductor with him. started on tho trip. The lone engine was stuck in a drift in a cut a short distance out of town, and had to be abandoned. This left the train of eight coaches and about 250 passengers alone on the siding, and with all communication cut off. Then started the long siege, during which tho cold had to be borne and hunger stifled. There was much suffering. There was an incipient riot the first day. The second-class passengers Insisted that they must have as much or more food than the others, and as they were In larg er numbers and had more ravenous appe tites. It was difficult to confine them to their quota. Many were not willing, as the first-class passengers insisted, that the women and children should be fed. and taken care of first, but after some argument they were prevailed upon to subside. Monday evening Professor Colegrove, of the University of Washington, who was en route East on a vacation trip, and who had been despondent and morose, at tempted to commit suicide by cutting his throat with a razor. There was a phjslclan on the train, but he had no fa cilities for 'performing the necessary op eration, and it was absolutely necessary to get Into communication with one of tho neighboring towns. In their desperation the passengers broke everything In the train chest, and In the conductor's box found a telesraph Instrument. A young man on the train, an electrician, faced the blizzard and tapped one of the wires and attached the instrument. He knew a lit tle about telegraphy, and notified the op erators at Mlnot and Wllllston of what had occurred. From each place a snow plow was started in front of an engine bearing a surgeon. The one from Mlnot. after a hard night's work, reached the siding early the follow ing morning, and the wounded man waa removed on the first train to St. Paul, where he was cared for at the City Hos pital. The almost famished passengers, who had suffered from cold and exposure, were given food and warm berths In tho first train pushed through the drifts. The rotary plow made one trip through the drift between Ray and Mlnot, but the snow piled In so rapidly that It wa3 necessary for the rotary to pas3 through again and then precede the passenger train through the cut. Professor Colegrove was brought to St. Paul early this morning. The Jugular vein Is partially severed, and It Is not be lieved he can recover. Mr. Colegrove had been 111 from too close application to work, and had decided to spend a month with friends and relatives at Hamilton, N. Y. Colonel Andrnss Retires. WASHINGTON. April 2.
