NIGKELL'8 FINE WORK But He Rails to Land State ifrintership. HOW LARK BILlYEll WAS BEATEN C. B. S. "Wood for United States Sen- ator Bonlinm" for Supreme Judge Weatherford and Bntclier for Congress Other Nominations. DEMOCRATIC TICKET. For Indorsement for United States Senator C. E. S. "Wood, of Portland. For Representative in Congress, First District J. IC Weatherford, of Albany. For Representatlv e In Congress, Sec ond District W. F. Butcher, of Baker City. For Supreme Judge B. F. Bonham, of Salem. For Secretary of State D. W. Sears, of Independence. For State Treasurer Henry Black man, of Heppner. For Superintendent of Public Instruc tion V.'. A. Wann, of Eugene. For State Printer J. E. Godfrey, of I Salem. The Democratic, State Cement ton i completed Its work yesterday by nom- lnatlng the . foregoing ticket, all of I whom hut Sears and Godfrey were put I up by acclamation. The session began at 11 o'clock, and continued until 2:30, ' ending with the nominations of Repre- 1 eentatlves In Congress by the delegates from the First and Second Districts. .The desire of-pharlfesN1ckcU,pf. Jack- Ton County, "Co 'be. nomlnatecl for State Printer smashed the Democratic slate in two places yesterday, when the dele gates reconvened to finish their work yesterday. In order to sidetrack J. R Godfrey, of Salem,' who was a warm favorite for the nomination, Nlckell set Lark Bilyeu out of the race for Supreme Judge, and brought about the nomina tion of B. F. Bonham, of Salem. One Marion County man on the ticket, he believed, would put the finishing touches on Mr. Godfrey's fate. But it didn't. The nomination of Judge Bonham set all kinds of machinery to working, and it worked with a whirr. R A. Bherwin, also of Jackson, had been slated for Secretary of State, and following the same reason ing he applied to the Marion County matter, Mr. Nlckell lent his support to Mr. Sherwlns opponent, D. W. Sears, of Polk. The Sherwln people came back by pulling for Godfrey, andlas a result Mr. Nlckell was third man in the race when, after a second ballot, the nomination of Godfrey was made. In other respects the ticket went through as slated, as will be shown by the list of nominees printed above. Sherwln and Sears made a lively fight for the nomination of Secretary of State, but the Jackson County man was not favored by the 41 stanch Democrats from Multnomah, and went down by a vote of 101 to 161. L. A. Long, of the Hlllsboro Argus, was the only formidable opponent of Godfrey for State Printer, and he didn't count, to any appreciable extent, after the first ballot. The other labors of the convenUon re sembled a love feast. The Democratic yell was sounded early In the day, and when J. R Lathrop, of Pendleton,, nomi nated J. H. Raley for State Printer, In a speech of some length, a delegate pro posed three cheers for the speaker, which were given with enthusiasm, much to Mr. Lathrop's embarrassment. After that everyone got three cheers, with a few tigers thrown In at random by Sam White, who was In a. particularly jovial humor. The labors of the morning took the delegates through the state ticket, and on reassembling In the afternoon they embarked on the pleasing task of indors ing a man for United States Senator. C, R S. Wood, of New York, was the choice of the entire assemblage, and he was indorsed with a great deal of noise. In the lull which delegates required to get their breath contributions to the cam paign fund began to pour In. G. A. Hart man, of Umatilla County, subscribed $100, amid wild acclamations, and as he sat down the tall form of Lark Bilyeu, the well-known notary public of Eugene, shot Into the air like a rocket. Everyone supposed that Mr. BHyeu was going to throw In another hundred, but he merely wanted to know the name of the gentle man from Umatilla. It was given him, and he subsided. Then W. F. Butcher, mounting a chair, subscribed $150. Again the Eugene notary arose, and agajn eager ears turned toward him to hear what was to be the amount of his sub scription. But he had risen simply to pro pose three cheers for Mr. Butcher, which he led, and the hope that had sprung eternal In the breasts of his fellow-delegates died a sudden deaths Mr. Hart man saw Mr. Butcher's raise while more shouUng and cheering were going on, and a number of delegates pledged $50 per from their delegations. At last, hearing no more offers of the sinews of politics, the chair divided the house into two Congressional conventions, and the work of naming RepresentaUves began. Mr. Butcher, who was the first to bo nominated, was launching full tilt i - Into the best speech of the day, when an endeavor was made to cry him down by the First district delegates, who had not yet named their man. But he re fused to be silent, and at length the nomination of Weatherford was put through with a rush, and the delegates from the Second district convention listened to Butcher's acceptance, which, although it was made without prepara tion and from a chair upon which he had mounted In compliance with the de mands of his friends, was by far the strongest speech called forth during the convention. By this time allf Ude!eg?tes wew, y inpatient fo" be away'iind TvSat trilling Dusiness remained to oe aueaaea to was put through with a rush. Cheers sounded now and. then from various parts of the hall, where delegates had not yet ex ploded all the enthusiasm they brought with them, and as they departed there was to be .heard everywhere the battle cry: "Well, maybe some of us '11 be elected, anyway!" STORY OF THE CONVENTION. Much Work Accomplished at the Horning Session. Yesterday's session of the Democratic state convention was called to order at 10:15 o'clock, with practically all the delegates present. According to the regu lar order of business, the first business would have been the nomination of a Su preme Judge. By unanimous consent, however. Chairman T. H. Crawford, of the general committer on platform and resolutions, was permitted to read a reso lution which was 'presented to the com mittee yesterday. He stated that the resolution had been held until today, for the reason that It was not properly a part of the platform. He said that the resolu tion had been handed to the committee, that It was approved by the committee, and he moved Its adoption. It Avns the Lewis and' Clark resolution; found else where. Also by unanimous consent the delega tions from Malheur and Harney Counties were permitted to announce the nomina tion of E. H. Test, of Ontario, for Joint Representative. The selection was made by the state central committee, for the reason that the two delegations could not agree. The nomination was ratified. The delegates from Coos and Curry Counties stated that they had not named a candidate for Joint Representative In their district, and asked that the selec tion of a candidate be left to the county central committees of the two counties. The convention ordered that the nomina tion to be made In that manner be con sidered ratified by the convention. The regular order of business was then taken up, and nomlnaUons for Supreme Judge were called for. J. J. Whitney, of Linn County, named B. F. Bonham, of Marlon. In his brief address. Judge Whit ney said that Bonham la a pioneer at torney In this state, has served one term on the Supreme bench, and Is a man of recognized integrity and ability. The nomination was seconded by Lark Bilyeu, of Lane,V. G. Cozad, of Grant, xand others. On motion, B. F. Bonham was nominated by acclamation. For Secretary of State, Thomas O'Day. of Multnomah, named D. W. Sears, of Polk County. William Smith, of Baker County, Immediately seconded the nomi nation and moved that Sears be nominated by acclamation. Chairman Stlllman be gan to put the motion before the house, when R- G. Smith, of Josephine, demanded recognition. He protested against the closing of nomlnaUons before all who de sired to do so had been given a chance to be heard. His point of order In this respect was sustained, and the motion for the nomination of Sears by acclamation was withdrawn. Smith of Josephine then placed the name of E. A. Sherwln, of Jackson County, before the convention. The nomination was seconded by Lark BHyeu, of Lane. George T. Baldwin, of Klamath, and F. H. Caldwell, of Yam hill. The ballot was taken by a call of counties and resulted In favor of Sears by a vote of 161 to J0L On motion of Sherwln, seconded by Smith of Josephine, the nomination was made unanimous. Sears responded to a call for a speech, and made a brief but witty address, which cheated considerable laughter. For State Treasurer, C. R Redfleld, of Morrow, named Henry Blackman, of the same county. N". L. Butler, of Polk, D. B. Watson, of Umatilla, and Judge O'Day, of Multnomah, seconded the nomi nation, and upon motion Blackman was declared the nominee by acclamation. For Attorney-General, James H. Raley, of Pendleton, was named by John R (CoBdttde oa P&ca 11.) SENDING UP ANOTHER. BILL IS PICKING UP Outlook for Chinese Exclu sion More Favorable, ENEHIESIN DESPERATE STRAITS j Assert That They Scent a. Trade Be- tTrcen Friends i of Measure and Southern Democrats Geary's Telegram to Mitchell. WASHINGTON, April 11. The situation tonight Is more favorable to the Mltch-ell-Kahn exclusion bill in the Senate. What Is known as the ''flying wedge," consisting of Senators Penrose, Fair banks, Mitchell and Lodge, on the Re publican side, aided by a, number of mountain-state Senators, have been work ing earnestly to secure the substitute of the House bill for the Senate bill, and to put it through. The opponents of the Mltchell-Kahn bill assert that they scent &r trade between the Southern Democrats and the Republicans who are trying to put throughthe rigorous Chi nese bill, by which There will be no legislation upon Southern elections at this session of Congress. This is not apparent, and It only serves to show that the men who aro fighting the pending bill are In somewhat desperate straits. There Is a great deal of- opposition to the clause which would prohibit Chinese sailors on ships flying the American flag, and although that was Incorporated In the House bill It may be stricken out In the Senate. Senator Mitchell .today received a. tele gram from T. J. Geary, author of the Geary Chinese exclusion law. In which he says: In view of present condition, and experiences of the past 10 jears, nothing short of Senate bill 2900, the Mltchell-Kahn bill, as reported, will effectually exclude Chinese laborers and protect the American against such competition. I hope that the protest of the few selflsh em ployers on this Coast, who do not represent Its sentiment, or the Impertinent threat of the foreign MRitstcr, will not influence the Senate to forget Its duty to the American laborer. Senator Mitchell, when ho next speaks, will bring this telegram to the atten tion of the Senate. Agrnlnst Oregon Assay Office Dills. The Secretary of the Treasury, In re sponse to a recent request from the House committee on coinage, replied as follows: In the Judgment of the department, the es tablishment of an assay office at either Baker City or Portland Is not desirable, as in either case the advantage to the public would not be sufficient to Justify the cost. Representative Tongue says he Intends to keep after the committee until he gets a report on the Portland bill, as he believes a majority of the committee favors It. Representative Moody Is likewise confident that his Baker City bill Is the favored one of the two, and announces his Intentions of renewing pressure In Its behalf. The fact that there are two bills for different points in Oregon will unquestionably operate against the Interests of both. Reqncut of Washington Delegation. The Washington delegation today called on the Secretary of War, and urged him to order an Investigation In the vicinity of Tacoma and Spokane, looking to the selection of a concentra tion camp embracing upwards of 20,000 acres. The camp Is desired for outdoor maneuvers of large bodies of troops, for sham battles and for actual field train ing. Tho Secretary promised that an early Investigation will be made. It Is probable General Hughes will be detailed to make the inspection. . On the recommendation of Senator Mitchell 'the Secretary of the Treasury designated the Merchants National Bank At1 ,v v &K of Portland as a depository of public moneys with security to the- amount of $200,000 United States bonds, also on his recommendation the Treasury Depart ment has authorized the change of tho name of the steamer Bonita, of the White Collar Line, to that of "Metlako." PALMA'S CUBAN TRIP. President-Elcct Will Make a Tour of the Island. WASHINGTON, April 11. President elect Tomas Estrada Palma, of Cuba, called at the White House tonight, and re mained with, the President "for" aBotff an hour. He wat accompanied by Mr. Ques ada, the Special Commissioner for Cuba, who has been Mr. Palma's companion on his visits to Washington and will ac company him on his tour through Cuba before the Inauguration. The call at the White House tonight was entirely a social one, the two visitors meeting also Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Alice Roosevelt. The President-elect's trip through Cuba will occupy 20 days or more, and will In clude In Its Itinerary GIbara, Holguln, Bayamo, Manzanlllo, Santiago and Ba tabano. Railroads, flatboats, horseback and steamship will be utilized In traveling. Bayamo Is Mr. Palma's native town. At Manzanlllo he will meet General Masso, who was his opponent In the race for Presidential honors. Mr." Palma expects to sail for Cuba from some southern port, probably Norfolk or Savannah, so as to arrive at Havana about May 10. He had a long talk with Secretary Root today upon certain matters connected with the new Cuban Government. Mr. Root and his family will lea.ve here next Thurs day to visit Governor-General Wood at Havana for 10 days. Partial Pardon for .Cuban Criminals. ' HAVANA, April 1L An order granting partial pardon to all those who are under going life or shorter sentences has been published. The pardons vary from one quarter to one-half of the penalties lm- posed. All persons who are awaiting final decisions by the Court of Appeals must withdraw their applications in order to benefit by this order. This order also clears up all doubt regarding pardon for offenses committed during the war. An order was Issued March 24, 1S99. by General John R. Brooke, then Military Governor of Cuba, promising pardon for crimes committed by troops in the field during the war. An explanation of this order contained In a circular Issued by Luban, Secretary of Justice, April 27, 1899, caused ome doubt as to just what mili tary offenses were pardonable. The pres ent ofder of pardons says that this step Is taken in order that an era of harmony may be Introduced into the new Cuban Republic. Cubans Becoming Anxions. NEW YORK, April 11. The training ship Dixie has arrived, says a Havana dis patch to the Herald. Orders delaying the departure of the American troops are causing uneasiness among the Cubans. QUAY SAYS NO.
