H. Broivncll "Will He Chairman of Convention. The Washington Republican Conven tion, which will convene at Tacoma to day, promises to be one of the-most ex citing in. the history ot the state. Gov ernor McErlde's Railway Commission scheme, which threatened to disrupt the party, appears to have been shelved by Its own friends. The convention to day will be presided over by T. H. Brownell, of Everett. Probable nomi nations are: For Congress W. L. Jones, of North Taklma; Francis W. Cushman, of Ta coma; Will G. Humphrey, of Seattle. For Supreme Judge Hiram E. Hart ley, of Whatcom. TACOMA, Wash., Sept. 10-2 A. M. (Staff correspondence.) Governor Mc Brlde's railroad commission plank in the Republican platform of the State of Wash ington will probably go down to defeat when the convention meets tomorrow morning. Representatives Jones and Cushman are elated for renominatlon, and Will E. Humphrey, of Seattle, is on the schedule for the third member oC Con gress. Hon. Hiram E. Hadley, of What com, will probably he the successful can didate for. Supreme Justice. For tempo-, rary chairman, F. H. Browneli, of Sno homish, has been agreed upon, and tho appointment of a permanent chairman has been left to Governor McBrlde, who has not announced his appointee, but has In timated that It will be H. S. Huson, of Pierce, of B. W. Coiner, of Lewis. Briefly stated, this la the result of a day and night of wild caucusing, and of making and breaking of combinations without number. The friends of the rail road plank in the platform have not given up. the fight, and if it is defeated it will be by a small majority, and it will be a very Interesting factor in the proceedings today. The . Congressional matter was practically settled at a meeting of the steering committees of Pierce and King Counties, and at 12:20 this morning the foregoing slate was agreed upon. No attempt will be made to line up the delegations as a body to support the Gov ernor's favorite meaeure. but each will vote as It pleases. The Spokane delega tion, which came down under Instruc tions to vote for the commission plank, held a caucus this evening, and five of the delegates bolted the caucus, refusing to stand by their instructions. They gave as a reason that, in supporting a commis sion, they would prove disloyal to the bus iness Interests of the county. One of the men Is Samuel Glasgow, manager of the Centennial Mill Company; another a prominent mining man named Campbell, and the third an attorney from Spokane. In accepting the place of temporary chairman, Brownell dropped out of the Congressional race, but at 1 o'clock this morning some of tho other candidates were still making an effort to upset the proceedings, and in certain quarters there Is a special desire for the scalp of Cush man. E. W. W. A DAY OF GREAT EXCITEMENT. Slates Were Made Every Few Min utes, nnd Broken ns Easily. TACOMA, Sept. 9. (Staff correspond encesThis has been a day of great ex citement among the Washington pollti- n clans, who had gathered in this city for tho purpose of straightening up political fences, preliminary to the battle which is to be fought out in the convention hall to morrow. The excitement did not go down with the sun, but is still running high at midnight, and a few of the more prom inent leaders of the opposing factions will hold a continuing session until the con vention meets, unless some of the points at issue are nearer a settlement than they are at a late hour tonight. The contest today between the advance guards resulted in crowding Governor Mc- i Bride's railroad commission plank out of the limelight, to make room for a more interesting contest for Congressional hon ors. It has been a great day for com binations, and they have been put up and knocked down with such frequency and regularity since 10 o'clock this morning that the oldest politicians pause at this time to catch their breath, and wonder "where they are at." Small Counties Make Trouble. Delegations from the large counties, al though carrying by far tho greatest pow er, did not make slate-makers one-tenth the trouble that emanated from the small counties, and the railroad commission was excellent fuel on the flames of some of these dissensions. For example, Douglas, Okanogan and Ferry Counties are down here with IS votes. Okanogan delegates were Instructed to vote for the commis sion bill, and Ferry and Douglas against 1L Incidentally, tho three counties are to elect a joint Senator, and each has a can didate. This three-cornered fight over a State Senator is of far greater importance to the counties Involved than the railroad commission or the Congressional fight, and it serves well to keep the delegations from getting together on any proposition. The same conditions exist in a number of other small couuties, and one delegation has stirred up enough trouble over the ap pointment of a state central committee man to require the services of an outside peacemaker to get them back on speak ing term3 with each other. Numberless caucuses were held during the day for the purposes of patching up these rows, and there will probably still be business of this nature for the white-winged dove of peace, right up to the hours of the con vention. The Congressional Fight. In the Congressional fight, which has been on at full blast since early this morning, there are seven, contestants, their names and order of prominence as now indicated being Cushman. of Pierce; (Concluded on Page 11.)

BROWNELL, Sunduy night on Island Point, Etelln Island. Stickeen Strait, 20 mlle3 south of Fort Wrangel. She now lies E0 feet for ward on the rocks' Fifty feet of keel re gone, nnd her forefoot Is dry at low water. The steamer filled aft, and the hurricane deck, to the top of the smoking room, is under water at high tide. The vessel is well sheltered, and it is believed a bulkhead can be built Inside and the ship floated. The 150 passengers of the Cot tage City were transferred to the steamer Spokane, of the same company, which came along three hours after the acci dent, bound north. They were taken on to Skugway, and will return south on the Spokane. The Cottage City was bound for Seattle when the accident occurred, and was due to arrive here tomorrow. Over 100 tons of cargo were Jettisoned. The remainder of the cargo, consisting chiefly of salmon, was transferred to lighters and taken ashore. Details of how the accident oc curred are lacking. The Cottage City was commanded by Captain David Wallace. She is a wooden vessel, which probably accounts for tho fnct that she did not break to pieces on the rocks. From official reports to the headquarters of the company here, It is said there Is no doubt that the vessel will be floated and repaired, unless storms of unusual severity Intervene. (The Cottage City was built in "Bath. Me.. In 1E91. She was bought by the Pa cific Coast Steamship Company and brought around the Horn five years ago. She was at once put on the Lynn Canal run, and has never been on any other since coming to the Pacific.) Fnnernl of Ex-Senator Roach. NEW YORK. Sept. 9.

The letter contains the word of valedictory which illness prevented him from delivering from the pulpit at the time of his resignation, a few months ago. The letter was written from Dr. Newton's Summer home on Long Island. IN FULL ERUPTION, Volcano on Inlnnd ot StroniouoII Throwing: Out Fire and Stones. ROME. Sept. 9. The volcano on Siromo boll Island is in full eruption, and is throwing up great columns of fire and tor rents of stones. The Island is shrouded in, smoke. Mount Vesuvius Is showing signs of activity. Stromobolt is the northernmost of the Lipari Islands, in the Mediterranean, off the north coast of Sicily. Its area is eight square miles. It Is wholly ot vol canic formation, and has a' constantly active volcano 3040 feet high, with an ex tinct crater on top. but an active one on the side .at the height of about 2150 feet. On the east side of the Island lies the OF JEVERETT. ' small town of Stromoboli. The population of the island Is placed at 503 persons. It was announced from Naples, Septem ber 7. that large volumes of flames were issuing from the crater of Mount Vesu vius the previous evening.) Ktlanen. Again BrenWs Ont. j HONOLULU, Sept. 3. (Correspondence of the associated Press.) The volcano Kllauea. has again broken out in active eruption. The later reports from the island of Hawaii state that a lake of hot t lava lias appeared In the smaller crater, 1 Jnd that the volcano is again displaying streamers of fire, forming a grand spec tacle. Prior to the display a shock of earthquake was felt at Hllo and in the district of Hamakua, For St. Vincent Board of Inquiry. NEW YORK, Sept. 9. Further news from St. Vincent Is awaited with painful Interest, cables the London correspond ent of the Tribune.

Sept. 9. A cablegram from Gov ernor Lemaire, of Martinique, says that measures have been taken to ensure the evacuation of the northern part of the island. Boer Generals Start for Holland. LONDON, Sept. 9. The Boer Generals started for Holland today, and were cheered heartily by the crowds. It is understood that one of the requests the visitors made to the Colonial Secretary. Joseph Chamberlain, was for permission for the Boer refugees In Europe to return to their respective districts In South At rlca without taking the oath of allegiance. Mr. Chamberlain, however, did not sec any way in which he could agree to this, or to the suggestion that certain holders of office under the late South African Government' should be reappointed to their old positions. The Marine Engineers Order a Strike. MANY BOATS ARE AFFECTED But No line, Possibly, May Cease Entirely. 140 ENGINEERS TO WALK 0UV 'Negotiations Fall to Bring About Sct . tlement of Long-Standing Trou ble Nonunion Men on Some Steamers. A strike will be declared by the Marino Engineers' Association today, and every union engineer will leave his boat as soon as it Is brought into Portland. A com plete tie-up cannot' be effected, as there is a number of nonunion engineers in tho city, and many boat-owners are able to run an engine. The O. R. & N. Co.. tho White Collar Line. The Dalles. Portland & Astoria Navigation Company, Jacob Kamm, Kellogg Transportation Company. Shafer Transportation Company and at least a dozen good-sized towboats owned and operated by Individual owners will be affected by the strike, although none of them will have to cease operations entire ly. The O. R. & N. Co., D. P. & A. N. Co. and White Collar Line will probably be able to run two boats each. The en gineers on the Jacob Kamm boats are all nonunion men. and the Kellogg Transport atlon Company will be able to operate all of its boats, owing to the fact that a num ber of the stockholders In the company are licensed to run engines. Over '140 engineers will walk out today, and they stubbornly declare that they will not again make use of their licenses until the conditions which they demand are granted. The employers are equally as determined, and the walk-out seems to bo the commencement of a long and bitter fight The two opposing parties disagree as to what the real point of contention is. The strikers hold that the employers did not live up to the terms of the agreement at the settlement of the last strike. "AH of our men were- to be given their places back," they say. "And there are at least eight left out." "Are you willing- to call a strike for those eight men?" they were asked. "The grievance of one is the grievance of all in our organization," they an swered; "and we shall demand that these men be reinstated." They also admitted that they had asked a small raise In wages. "The same terms as were asked last July." they said, which means an ad vance of from $100 to $110 for chief en gineers, and from $75 to $85 for seconds on the large boats, and a corresponding advance on the smaller boats, which now pay $90 and 565. The employers hold that there were but two men left out of their old places, and that it was the intention to-restoro them as soon as possible. "Tho trouble is," they say, "that our men want us to pay them more than our business warrants, and we would as, soon stop run ning our boats as to do this." The trouble has been brewing for some time. The men have never been satisfied since the last strike was settled. Upon the occasion of the annual visit of their National president. George Uhler, an at tempt was made to adjust peuceably all matters of difference. No agreement was reached, however, and the president left, advlng his men to try to gain their point without striking. Again a request was prepared and sent to the employers, but they received it as they had the oth ers. Discouraged by their failures to ap peal to the boat-owners, they decided that it was time for the force of the organiza tion be concentrated toward compelling the employers to concede. Accordingly a communication was sent to President " 'I'hlor. at Philadelphia, asking for permis sion to call a stiike. and inquiring if the National body would support them In their light. They were ordered out by the National body, ard now they have no al ternative but to strike. "If the order 13 not countermanded before Wednesday morn ing, every union engineer must resign his position on boats that run Into Portland," was the substance of the order. The en gineers stayed at their headquarters until a late hour last night, but no counter manding order came, and they went to their homes prepared for a long and leis urely sleep. They say that the present strike Is different In Its nature from the last one, and that they will never go back (Concluded on page 11.) T
