Blnger Hermann was nom inated for Congress tonight. The conven tlon was In session 9$4 hours, and was In tumult moat of that time. Early in the convention Hermann hovered within six or seven votes of the 87 required to noml nate. Then his forces went to pieces In the face of stubborn opposition. His ri vals succeeded to the mastery of the con vention, but they could not agree upon a candidate. For four hours each of them refused to yield. The Hermann managers took heart again about 10 P. 1L and reorganized their ranks as they had been early In the con ventlon. Thereupon Eddy of Tillamook declared that his delegation of five. In order to end a fruitless contest, would support Hermann. Vawter withdrew and left his delegation to go whither they de sired, and his people flocked to Hermann. Gatch of Marion and Kelly of Linn united their forces. The union was too long put off, however, and accomplished nothing. The final vote was: Hermann, $5; Gatch, 72; Kelly, 9. The total number of votes cast was ITS, three more than were In the convention, but the opponents of Hermann saw that they could accomplish nothing by demanding another ballot, and on motion of Kay of Marion. Hermann was declared the unanimous choice of the convention. Speechmaklng by Hermann and bis rivals showed that the outcome of the fight had not left wide breaches, and that all elements of the party would work for the election of the party's nominee. Hermann Had Given It Up. Hermann's rivals had beaten all hope out of his supporters. About 7 P. M., Brownell. who had been elected chairman of the convention by combined Hermann and Clackamas votes, withdrew and went to bed, charging the members of his dele. gatlon with treachery for falling to aid Hermann toward 'the nomination. Her mann himself went to his hotel In the be lief that his game was lost. About 11 o'clock both learned that the convention was coming back to Hermann, and they returned to the convention.

It has been remarkable lor the earnestness of contest over the Con gressional nomination: remarkable for the endurance tx&cn you marmraieu su jum loyalty to your candidates, and remark able for the- kindly and fraternal feeling which has prevailed. The absence of any bitterness justifies the prophecy that the feeling of victory will go forth as you go to your homes, and will spread over the district until the day of election, when the Reupbllcans of this district will roll up a splendid majority for the Republi can ticket. "It Is Indeed a most distinguished honor to receive this nomination at your hands, but more to be prized because of the standing of the distinguished men who have been voted for. They are men who would honor any state as Representa tives In Congress men who would -have been worthv representatives of Oregon bad they been nominated by this conven tion. Slakes Some Promises. "I nccept the nomination which you have given me, and promise that. If elect ed. It shall be my proud endeavor to per form my duties to the state to the best of my ability. I shall traverse the coun ties of this district to see what are the needs of the different localities. I ehall meet the people face to face and talk with them concerning matters of Interest to them In Congress. It shall be my pleas ure to traverse the seacoast and see what can be done to lmprovo the waterways and harbors, and to' visit the counties of the interior to look after such affairs as postal routes. "Rerubilcans, we stand by the splendid Administration of the splendid party with which we affiliate. We are Indeed Justly proud of it splendid record, and we are proud of that Chief Magistrate who has no equal among rulers on the face of the earth. (Cheers.)

A new crisis has threatened the Chinese government as a result of the continued 'rebel success In South China, for. according to mall ad vices received here, the -French are pour ing troops Into Kwangsi from Anam. It seems that the Governor of Kwangsi. "Wang Chi Hun, requested the French offi cers in Anam to send troops to his assist ance, and, altnough the Pekln govern ment has countermanded this request, the French have gone Into the South 'China Province and It Is feared that the Euro pean power will, like Russia In the North, seize the territory into -which it has gone.

The Legislature of the Island of Jersey today published the third reading of the bill -Imposing a duty of S cents- per pound on leaf tobacco, IS cents on manufactured tobacco, and 25 ceqts on cigars. In deciding the Northern Securities case the Uclted State Circuit Court of Appeals holds, that: The merger destroyed competition between the Northern Pacific snd Great Northern by destroying the motive for It. Such a combination would have been a violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. if formed by individuals. Acts done by corporations are Illegal If the same would hare been illegal it done by natural persons. The Securities Company power to suppress competition, and has provided for so doing. The New Jersey charter of the com pany is n shield against the. operation otthe-hr, for the New Jersey law allows Incorporations only "for any lawful purpose." Aside from this restriction, any state law is void so far is "it elves powers to violate the anti-trust act. Toe plea that the Government can do nothing because the merger 'is already consummated Is absurd. Though the plea that the objects and effects of the merger are to confer a public benefit may be true, still the merger is illegal. The decree forbids the voting of stock in the merged roads by the North era Securities Company, forbids the railroad comDanles to submit to any Influence of the Securities Company, and orders that the railroad stock held by the Securities Company may be ex changed again for its own stock with the perrons from whom it was acquired or others.
