THE 3IORNING OEEGONIAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1906. LUXEMBURG MAY. RENEW QUARREL Germans Irritated at King Ed ward's Dinner En gagement. REVIVES OLD ANIMOSITIES Just When British King and Kaiser Have Ended Feud, New Cause of Dispute Comes Be tween Nations. BERLIN. Aug-. 15. A dispatch to th Lokal Anzelger from Cronberg says: "King Edward has announced to the Grand Duke of Luxemburg that he would dine with him. The Duke came to nearby Koenigsteln for this pur pose. It Is not certain whether the engagement will be kept, but It gives occasion for wide-reaching conjecture. It was left to the King's pleasure to make such disposition of his time as he wished." The Lokal Anzelger says It Is im possible to verify the above here, but. If true. It will make an exceedingly bad impression among the German people, emphasizing the lack of har mony between the monarchs, for the meeting had awakened hopes of the restoration of harmony. The Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, which was declared neutral territory by the treaty of London of 1867, was one of the factors In the dispute be tween France and Prussia which cahsed the Franco-German War of 1S70-1S71. It formerly was included In the dissolved German Confederation. Luxemburg, therefore, has been the cause of much 111 feeling In Germany, and the fact that King Edward Is re ported to have determined to visit the reigning Grand Duke has aroused resentment among Germans.

The streets were profusely decorated with evergreens, flags and streamers. The sovereigns were heartily cheered by the crowds and school chil dren, who were lined up all along the route. Many Englishmen from surrounding watering-places were also present. After reaching Friedrlchshof the royal party breakfasted, and then the Emperor and King spent some time in the grounds. About 11 o'clock they went sightseeing, and after luncheon a visit was made to Homburg and the Roman camp at Saal burg. The King on this occasion wore a gray suit. It it understood his appear ance in civilian clothes was at the Em peror's request. At luncheon the party included the Crown Prince of Greece and his sister.

TEXAS REPUBLICAN TICKET Named by Regulars on Tariff and Reciprocity Platform. EL. PASO, Tex., Aug. 15. The Repub lican state convention called in session yesterday by the regular state organiza tion placed a complete ticket in the field today, adopted resolutions denouncing the state administration in unmeasured terms and before taking final adjourn ment re-elected C. A. Lyon, of Sherman, chairman of the state committee. The Introduction of a resolution by Mark Lemore favoring antl-prohibltlon called forth protest on the port of a number of delegates. A compromise resolution bearing on . prohibition was finally adopted. Allegiance to the Republican platform of 1904 was reaffirmed, the convention ex pressing confidence in a protective tariff tempered with reciprocity "such as Roosevelt and Mciunley have advo cated." The platform advocates a 'com pulsory education law and school terms In the county of equal length to those in the city. These resolutions congratulate President Roosevelt for his attitude to ward the trusts. The resolutions charge the state administration with opposition to the National administration And fail ure to provide sufficient school funds. While no reference to the Houston con vention appears In the resolutions, there was much in the sentiment of the con vention to encourage the Impression among the delegates that a new Repub lican party In Texas has been permanent ly organized. Following is the ticket named: Governor, Dr. C. Abrey, Franklin Coun ty: Lieutenant-Governor, Frederick Hof heinz, Guadaloupe County; Attorney General. Charles W. Ogden, San An tonio; Controller, Wentworth Manning, Vanandt County: Treasurer, George M. Booth, Williamson County; Commissioner-General Ijind Office, Henry C. Harding. Amarillo; Railroad Commis sioner, W. F. Connor, Dallas; Su perintendent of Public Instruction, F. Vandervoort, Carrizo Springs; Justice of Court of Criminal Appeals, A. G. Foster, El Paso. FORBID PASSES AND LOBBYING Texas Democrats Also Oppose Cor poration Meddling in Politics. DALLAS. Tex., Aug. 15. The Demo cratic state convention began work early this morning, but the platform was not ready for presentation until this after noon. The platform as adopted indorses the administration of Governor Lanham, de mands that the next Legislature enact a law prohibiting lobbying, favors a law against the Issuing of free passes except In specified cases and makes a request that the Governor keep the next Legis lature In session, if necessary, by extraor dinary call until such a law is passed. It demands a law prohibiting corpora tions from contributing to the campaign expenses of any party or Individual; de mands amendments compelling corpora tions to pay In at least half their capi tal stock before beginning business and the balance within two years. A recom mendation is made for a home for in digent or decrepit wives of Confederate soldiers and sailors and that a state de partment of Agriculture be established. Unbounded confidence In the statesman ship and patriotism of William J. ' Bryan is stated in a resolution, together with the hope of his nomination. Senators Bailey and Culberson are in dorsed and the former defended against allegations recently made. Judge Howard Templeton. of Sulphur Springs, the permanent chairman, in call ing the convention to order, said that this would be the last convention of Its kind in Texas. He said thereafter the nomination of state officers would be made directly in the primaries by the people. A night session of the convention was begun and the nominating speech for the four candidates for Governor made. The vote was begun, but in the midst of the proceedings something went wrong with the lights and the convention adjourned In darkness to 9:30 tomorrow morning.

BRYAN THE ONLY THEME Democrats Exult in Adoption of His Principles and Invite Republic ans to Follow Him Shallen berger for Governor. LINCOLN. Neb., Aug. 16. Harmonious fusion between the Democrats and Popu lists of Nebraska was threatened by the action of the Democratic State Conven tion, which at an early hour this morn ing nominated A. C. Shallenberger for Governor, instead of George W. Berg, OREGON MIDSHIPMAN'S DISMISSAL FROM NAVAL ACADEMY RECOMMENDED , : : ,; .. -v.. ', ' ' '-r:- . ' ' 9 ' . 'v : -: ' ' v--''-'- v: ; , : 1 V j it v .' ; ... -V f ..... J..S...... ........11. .,..1 .M M...., W. .V....-- GEORGE W. 6TRUBLE. ORBGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, Aug. , 15. The papers In the case of Midshipman George W. Struble, of Portland, Or;, reached the Navy Department this afternoon. Admiral Sands, commandant of the Naval Academy, recommends that Struble be dismissed, and It is now the belief that Secretary Bonaparte will make that recommendation to the President. j Struble had 249 demerits for smoking, swearing, drinking and disobedi ence of orders, and when the case was reviewed the board found that he had been Justly demented. Unless Senator Fulton can secure a further stay of proceedings, early action is probable. Mr. Bonaparte took no action today on the case. When he left the city for two weeks' vacation he took this and many other cases with him and will probably not report to the President until after his return, about September 1. whom the Populists had confidently counted upon as the choice of both con ventions. Furthermore, the Democrats showed a disposition to select a straight party ticket without Populist representa tion upon it. There was a debate of over an hour In the Democratic convention on the ques tion of nominating a United States Sen ator, and It was decided in the affirma tive. The Democratic ticket Is as follows: United State Senator, W. H. Thompson, Grand Island; Governor, Ashton C. Shal lenberger, Alma; Lieutenant-Governor, William H. Greene, Creighton; Secretary of State, Carl R. Coucher, Wahoo; Treas urer, Frank C. Babcock, Hastings. At 2 A. M. a motion was made in the Populist convention to adjourn until after breakfast and nominate a straight Popu list ticket, but It was voted down. IiAUD THEIR PEERLESS LEADER Nebraska -Democrats Name Ticket ami Give Bryan Adulation. LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 15. When the Democrats of Nebraska met here today for their state nominating convention, the purpose of which seemed to be up permost in the minds of the delegates was to do nothing which might displease William J. Bryan, In behalf of whose proposed Presidential candidacy the Ne braska Democrats desire to Insure the greatest possible degree of harmony. The convention met at 2 o'clock this afternoon, with Judge C. M. Skiles, of David. City, as temporary chairman. The Gubernatorial candidate who showed the most strength at the opening of the con vention was George W. Berge, of Lin coln, who was the nominee of the Demo crats and Populists against Governor Mickey, two years ago. There was some opposition to Berge from a few of the Democrats who opposed further fusion with the Populists, but as Berge has de clared, that he is a Democrat, this dis appeared. 1 H. H. Hanks, a banker of Nebraska City, was in the committee-room as a member of the committee on resolutions when the First District Democratic Congressional Convention nominated him for Congress today. When Mr. Hanks learned what had been done, he positively declined to accept the nom ination. The convention then took up the matter again, and T. J. Doyle, of Lincoln, was nominated for Congress. Doyle had already withdrawn from the race in favor of Hanks. C. M. Skiles, temporary chairman, made an address In which he exulted in the claim that the principles of the Dem ocratic platform of ISM had been adopted by Bryan's detractors In both - parties. He concluded: "If the signs of the times mean any thing, they certainly mean hope and cheer to the hosts of Democracy. Vain, vain are the battles against the right, and the Chicago platform and William J. Bryan were right. Time has proved it. The American people admit it. The- turbulent waves of opposition have spent their force; the black streams of denunciation, vituperation and abuse no longer flow. The cam paign for 1908 began in. 189S, and vic tory is now practically assured. The American people are simply waiting to render their verdict in favor of Demo cratic principles as consistently advo cated for 10 years past by our Demo- cratlc leader. The old-time defenders of safe and sane doctrines have dis appeared, some of them in the custody of the Sheriff, while others have left their country for their country's good. The "stand-patters" will soon have to show their greedy hand; the Ameri can voter will no lenger be -bluffed. Already you can hear the pitter-patter of their trampling feet as they march Into line for 1908, and when these pitter-patters meet the stand-patters there will be a clitter-clatter of the stand-patters as they klnter-canter to overwhelming defeat." Mr. Skiles" reference to Bryan was re ceived with tumultous cheering. The temporary organization was made perm anent and the different committees were appointed. After waltmg for an hour for the committee on resolutions to re port, the convention at 6 o'clock took a recess until 7 o'clock. The committee on resolutions tonight presented a platform which ignores sev eral National Issues In the main. It be stows unstinted praise on William J. Bryan, pointing to him as the leader of Democracy of the Nation. The resolu tions adopted say In part: The Democrats of Nebraska, in state con vention assembled, renew their allegiance to the psrty of Jefferson, Jackson and Bryan. W rejoice at the rapid growth of Demo cratic sentiment throughout the country and appreciate the compliment bestowed upon the party when its principles and doctrines are boldly appropriated by the few progres sive leaders of the Republican party. We watch with Interest their efforts to force their party to accept Democratic doctrine; and we deplore the hopelessness of their task. To their followers, however, we ex tend a hearty invitation to become Demo crats in fact as they are in spirit, and to Join the Democratic ranks under the leader ship of America's distinguished statesman, William J. Bryan. We extend to Mr. Bryan a hearty welcome home. We rejoice that he stands today as a conspicuous and central figure, in the great moral and political revolution which is now sweeping over the country. While all the states rejoice tnat he has become the first citizen of the world, it remains only for our state to boast that It gave him political birth and started him upon the highway of fame and usefulness. POPITLISTS FCSE WITH GROWL Democratic Candidate Not Liked. Old Principles Again Affirmed. LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 15. The Popu lists of Nebraska held their conventlonj here today, meeting in another hall at the hour named for the Democratic con vention. It was the most largely at tended Populist gathering held in Ne braska for several years. Thirty coun ties were represented. General P. H. Barry was elected chair man and made a brief speech, congratu lating the party on Its evidence of life ana saying its principles would continue to live. , The hall was found to small for the S00 delegates, andr a committee was ap pointed to secure another meeting place, a motion to adjourn In the meantime be ing voted down. The temporary organi zation was made permanent and It was decided not to change halls. Committees were appointed vand after waiting for an expected communication from the Demo crats, the convention took a recess until 8 o'clock. The Populist platform declares alleg iance to the prlnicplcs of the party as enunciated at the last national conven tion; declares for land for citizens; Gov ernment ownership of railroads and . means of inter-communication of the people, and the Issue of money by the general Government only. News of the nomination of A. C. Shallenberger for Governor by the Dem ocrats caused disappointment and some resentment, aa the Populists had counted confidently on the nomination of George W. Berg, of Lincoln by both conven tions. A proposal to nominate Berg any how met with the announcement that Mr. Berg would not consent to be the candidate of the Populists alone. Mrs. Cratgie Died Natural Death. LONDON. Aug. 15. The Inquest on the body of Mrs. Craigle (John Oliver Hobbes) resulted today in a verdict of death by natural causes. Among the flood of telegrams of con dolence from prominent people were many from America. Queen Alexandra on Tuesday night telegraphed her sym pathy to Mrs. Cralgle's mother. Mrs. Cralgle's publisher, Fisher Unwln, states that her novel "The Dream and the Business," will be published almost im mediately. It introduces the late William E. Gladstone as one of the characters. Only four chapters of the novel, "A Time to Love,", remained . to be completed, and another autnor, possibly Anthony Hope, will be invited to finish it. NOT IN - THE FIGHT Liquor Men Say Dry Towns Will Have to Go It Alone NO MONEY FOR LAWSUITS If Test Case Is Made of Coquille and Freewater Charter Amendments, They Will Have to Pay Their Own Way. Wholesale liquor men will take no part In the movement in the dry districts of Oregon to vote wet certain towns that went dry at the last election. Under the constitutional amendment adopted by the people at the , last election, which provides that cities may enact their own charters, Coquille and Freewater have voted to license saloons although they are In dry districts. Other cities, may follow suit, and a test case will un doubtedly ensue, temperance workers con tending that the dry cities have no right to adopt charters which license the sale of liquor. But It Is understood that it Is the dis position of the wholesale liquor men to let the people fight it out among them selves. Representatives of the local liquor in terests have but little to say of the sit uation, but they express the belief that dry cities are legally entitled to adopt charters permitting the sale of liquor. They do not believe that the case of Fouts vs. Hood River, decided a year ago by the Supreme Court, has any par ticular bearing upon the situation one way or the other. In this case Attorney McCort, of Pendleton, urged that the lo cal option law was unconstitutional in asmuch as It was a criminal law and provided for class legislation. This was but one of several points raised as to the validity of the law. The Supreme Court took the view that the local option law Is a criminal law, but held that It is general in character. "The liquor men have had nothing to do with the elections at Coquille and Freewater," said one of them yesterday. "The citizens evidently decided that the town was more prosperous when the saloons-were open and the Council ordered the elections. We had nothing to do with It and don't intend to have. If a law suit results why the cities will have to fight It out themselves." The Jam of Navaganar. BOMBAY, Aug. 15. The Jam of Na vaganar is dead. He left no heirs. Prince Ranjitslnhjl, the celebrated ln aAii cricketer, champion batsman of all England in 1896 and 1900, was the adopted son of the Jam's father, and formerly In the succession.' but he was passed over. Owing to the absence of heirs there is a strong chance of Prince EanjitslnhJi succeeding to the throne. AT THE HOTELS. The Portland C. Hudson, Mr. C. Hudson.

Even if mercury and potash could cure Contagious Blood Poison the condition in which these strong minerals leave the system would make the cure worse than the disease.

When the virus of Contagious Blood Poison enters the blood the entire circulation becomes poisoned, and the loathsome symptoms begin to appear. The mouth and throat ulcerate, hair and eyebrows come out, glands of the neck and groin swell, copper-colored spots appear on the body, and in severe cases sores and ulcers break out, and even the bones become diseased.
