STRONG RESOLUTIONS PASSED Harmony Prevails at the Convention, the Slate Meets Xo Opposition, and All Ammunition Is Directed. Agralnst the Enemy. Yesterday -was Prohibition day, and citi zens of Portland and Multnomah County who believe In the suppression of the rum traffic assembled in the A. O. U. W. jm During the last few days the Sandy River has contained the greatest run of smelt that has been seen there is seven years. On Thursday morning people came in large numbers from Falrview. Troutdale and Portland, in carriages, lumber wag one and vehicles of every description, and bringing fishing tackle of various origi nal kinds, from the bird-cage on a stick, with which one woman scooped up the smelt, to the regulation fish net. A stranger passing the lower Troutdale bridge would have wondered if there were not a campmeeting in progress, for all around the locality were hitched the teams and wagons of the people who had brought their lunches, prepared to spend the day in the enjoyment of the unusual sport. There seemed to be no limit to the number, or, rather, the amount, of fish any . . J lerapie at jr. ju xor me purposes or. nominating a city and county ticket. About 123 volunteer delegates came to order at the sound of the gavel, and as a matter of Interest It may be stated that there were no majorities, minorities, proxies nor contesting delegations. The Prohibition party in Multnomah County does not come within the scope of the iockwood primary law. Is not dominated by any boss or faction, and works to gether as one happy family. The first order of business in yesterday's meeting was the election of a chairman, and without the least trace of pomp or cere mony, sllver-tonged oratory or protest, B. liee Paget was chosen. Oscar Cox was elected secretary, after which the' chair annolnted tho followlnrr commit. tees: Enrollment, A. M. King, S. W.n Downs, D. P. Miller; nominations, H. W. Stone, Huber Ferguson; resolutions, H. W. Pugh. W. R. Insley, I, H. Amos. Convention Gives Testimonials. The convention then resolved Itself Into a society for the giving of testimonials, and prominent Prohibition workers told what thpv thnnsrht nhnnf thr fiinrtmnt-j1 doctrines of their chosen party. Profos- f sor W. C. Kelsey, of Pacific College. New berg, gave a glowing account of the pos sibilities of prohibition, and criticised the present attitude of the other parties upon the liquor question the one issue which he believes to be paramount. Dr. I. XH. Amos then took the floor, and after se verely arraigning the candidates of the present Republican ticket, lauded the principles of the Prohibition party. A. E. Naugel followed with a vigorous argument against both Democrats and Republicans, declaring with emphasis that the men who stand for rum, be they Democrats or Republicans, or even Populists, are tho ones who "get there." John Combes, Rev. G. W. Plummer and several other speakers were heard from, after which the following resolutions were read and adopted: Party Platform. "Resolved. That.we Indorse the platform of the Prohibition party as adopted by the, state convention, held December 6, 1901, and we pledge our support to all candi dates then nominated, or that may be nominated by the convention, and we af firm the following to be our belief: "Ours Is a Government of parties, for parties and by parties; hence the necessity of having a party as free as possible from corrupt and corrupting Influences. "The political party having within it a balance-of-power vote, controlled by the saloon. Is powerless to enact, and equally powerless to enforce, good laws. "There can be no moral -unllft In the1 United States so long as the moral vote of the country divides Itself between the two dominant' parties of the nation, tho t policy of both of which is absolutely con trolled by the immoral balance-of-power j vote. I "In the coming election the only possible wav for the moral vote of the stntr to 1 register its convictions In a way that will J be felt is by votins for the candidates of the Prohibition party, the only party whose platform presents a moral issue. A man of high character, as a candidate of a saloon-controlled party, does not mark the moral level of that party; neither will he control Its policy. Its level Is marked and Its policy will be dic tated by the most corrupt vote In the party necessary to its success." The convention then adjourned, to re sume its labors at 8:30 'P. M. Slate Goes Throagh. The evening session found all of the delegates in their accustomed places, with no bolts or humble protests from down trodden minorities. The nominating com mittee had prepared its recommendations, which were- adopted and made the dub authorized an empowered candidates of the Prohibition party, in and for the City of Portland, and County of Mult nomah for the June election of 1902. Nominations for a number of city and county offices were not made, and the central committee, consisting of B. Lee Paget. F. Li. Posson and J. E. Knox was authorized to nil all vacancies and to increase Its membership to any" number deemed advisable. The ticket -was not nominated as a whole, but each name was read off by the chairman and seconded by Dr. L H. Amos, until the whole list was completed. When the nomination for Mayor was GREAT RUN OF SMELT IN THE SANDY. FISHING SCENE AT THE reached, Dr. Amos objected to the use of his name as" a candidate, preferring that the plum be given to some one else. His objections were overruled. Rev. W. T.

X suffrage plan has been finally agreed upon by the constitutional convention of "Virginia, un der which it is expected the negro vote will be practically eliminated. It pro vides that voters shall pay a poll tax of $1 50; shall be able to read or under stand when the constitution of the state Is read to them, and shall be able to make application for the right to regis ter In their own handwriting, in the pres ence of the registrars. The "understand ing" clause is only to be in effect until January 1, 1D01. The other features are permanent. Confederate soldiers and their son3 are exempt from the understanding and application clause. MARCONI'S BOYGOTT His Stations Will Not Com municate With Others. AS A HATTER OF PROTECTION Germnn Proposal for an Internation al Convention to Resrnlate Wire less Telegraphy and Pre vent a Monopoly. NEW YORK, March" 2D. SIgnor Marconi tonight issued a statement relative to the controversy between his wireless tele graph company and Dr. Slaby and Count one could catch, for the fish were there to be dipped up as long as the Ushers had anything to carry them In. Those who had buggies had all they could stow away, and the farmers who came in big wagons had all the way from two to 10 gunny sacks full. There were tons of fish taken during the day, great quan tities of which will be thriftily pickled, salted and smoked, and a Troutdale butch er ruefully remarked that be "guessed his business -would be likely to suffer for quite a while." This last run of fish has been exceptionally large, but it is stated that there have been seasons when no nets were necessary, and the farmers drove down to the river, backed the wagons into the water and scooped up the fish with ordinary shovels. Arco, and especially to the refusal of the Marconi Company to allow, unless by pre vious arrangements with it, communica tion between the Marconi land stations and ships equipped with any system claiming to be different from his system. SIgnor Marconi goes on to say: "I wish to state that such refusal has been and will continue to be made. I cannot take the responsibility of advising my companies, which, during the last four years, have expended large sums on the erection of land stations, to enter into any agreement such as that suggested, which would practically secure to Dr. Slaby and his coadjutors advantage In the cost, of which they had borne no part, and to which they are In no way entitled, so long as the rights secured to Inventors by patent law are respected In civilized coun tries." International Convention Proposed. BERLIN", March 29. Professor Slaby's recent proposal for an International con vention to regulate wireless telegraphy is already engaging the attention of Ger many, the authorities of which country are now drafting a circular note to be presented to the United States, Great Brit ain and France, proposing a congress for the purpose of agreeing upon a means to present a monopoly of wireless telegraphy on the high seas. According to the statements printed here, the above step Is a direct conse quence of the reported refusal of the wire less station at Nantucket to receive a message from Prince Henry, on board the Hamburg-American steamer Deutschland. The statement cabled from Berlin to New York that Germany had sent a protest to the British Government against the Mar coni people's boycott against ships equipped with the Slaby-Arco apparatus Is discredited here. High officials of the Foreign Office declare they know nothing of tho matter. WIRELESS SYSTEM IX THE WEST. General Hale's Instruments to Be lined on the Coast. DENVER, March 29. The News today says: "Within the next GO days citizens of the Pacific Coast will be sending wire less telegraph messages via Instruments built In Denver, under the personal super vision of General Irving Hale, consulting electrical engineer of the Pacific & Con tinental WTireless Telephone & Telegraph Company. The messages will pass be tween the" first two commercial stations established by the company. The in struments to be used are the most power ful evec constructed west of Pittsburg, containing Improvements over those now In use on the Atlantic Coast. Thev have been tested and worked to entire satis faction. General Manager A. L. New. of the company, leaves for San Francisco to day. While there he will decide Just where the Instruments are to be nlaced. Seattlet Tacoma San Francisco, Port- land, Los Angeles and Avalon. on Santa Catalina Island, are some of the cities under consideration. It is quite probable that one of the Instruments will be placed in Los Angeles and another at Avalon." JAPAN'S HOUSE TAX. The Government Agrees to Submit the Question to Arbitration. WASHINGTON. March 29. The Japan ese Government has agreed to submit to arbitration the question raised by the powers as to the exemption of foreign citizens living in Japan from taxation on their houses. The United States Gov ernment Is not a party to this arbitration directly, but the Japanese Government has given its assurance that our citizens liv ing in Japan shall have the benefit of any decision reached by the arbitration, while for our part we have consented to , be bound by that decision. Under the extra-territorial system, which prevailed until recently In Japan, resident foreigners were exempt from tax ation on Teal estate held by them, not in fee simple, but under lease. When Japan adopted a new code and enjoyed full treaty relations, she confirmed in these treaties the ancient rlzhts of foreigners. I In this confirmation, in the form, of .' , RIVER BANKS. treaties, the Japanese used the equivalent to the words "real estate" in the Japan ese sense, meaning, they claim, nothing more than the land, while the powers, using the term In the common-law sense, held that it meant the land and the house thereon. Under its construction, the Jap anese Government sought to tax for mu nicipal Improvements the houses on for eign holdings. The powers have resisted this tax; the United States Government has directed Its citizens to pay the tax under protest, under an amicable under standing that they should lose no rights thereby, and if the decision of the arbi trators Is In favor of the lessee that they should benefit equally with the citizens of other powers. CUBAN POSTAL SERVICE. First Steps Toward the Withdrawal of the United States. WASHINGTON, March 29. Action look ing to the relinquishment of the United States postal regime over the Island of Cuba was taken today, when appoint ments were made to fill tne two most im portant posts in the Cuban postal service. Charles Hernandez was appointed As sistant Director-General of Posts in Cuba, and on the withdrawal of the United States from that Island will assume full charge of the Cuban postal service. At the same time. Jose Alvarez was appoint ed Postmaster of Havana. The changes will become effective April 1. The Assist ant Director-Generalship of Posts Is thus created to enable the coming head of the service to become thoroughly familiar and equipped with the duties of his new post before the time comes to take com plete charge. The same object applies to the appointment of the Postmastershlp of the Cuban capital. Both changes are pro motions, and both men are Cubans. Her nandez Is at present Postmaster at- Ha vana, while Alvarez Is Postmaster at Clenfuegos. Japanese Diet Closed. TOKIO, March 10. The Diet closed to day. The budget was passed, besides Im portant national laws, such as the elec tion law, the Increased taxation liw, post, telegraph and customs tariff and the Formosa enactments. Among the bills held over are the code revision and rellslous bills both of considerable Im portance. Now that the Diet Is closed, it 13 expected that the House tax ques tion will be taken up by the imperial government and arbitration decided upon. Marquis Ito, the veteran statesman and president of the constitutional party, has created a sensation by advocating the support of the government by all na tionalities, Irrespective of party. It is not yet known what the advice of the founder of the party government In Japan portends, but It is believed to Inaugurate greater attention to foreign policy In view of the new Anglo-Japanese alliance. I w i mmmmmMm LE8S0N0FB0ERWAR Germany Will Profit by Burghers' RifleExperiences. VENEZUELA DISPUTE YET OPEN Ambassador White Is Yet Undecid ed Whether to Resign or Serve Ont His Full Term. BERLIN. March 29. It Is already ap parent that the Boers' experience with modern rifles will have a permanent in fluence upon German military tactics. Em peror William and high military author ities have been closely studying the au thentic accounts of Boer battles, which describe whole companies rising and rush ing forward to new firing positions, as has hitherto been customary. Tho Emperor has instituted the practice of only eight or 10 men rising at once and advancing, and has decided also that all topograph ical features of the field must be fully utilized for the protection of the attack ers. As illustrating the importance which the authorities here attach to the military lessons of the Boer War, It may be men tioned that returning officers In all cases get appointments to the general staff. Semi-official statements made here rep resent the German Government as fully satisfied with the result of the Interviews at Vienna between Count von Bulow and SIgnor Prlnettl, the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, in which all questions be tween Germany and Italy were fully dis cussed. While the negotiations were not finished. It Is now regarded here as as sured that, through the interview, the re newal of the drelbund will soon be con cluded. Germany's dispute with Venezuela Is not yet' wholly closed, although, as tho As sociated Press announced a fortnight ago, a broad basis of settlement has betn agreed upon. The German squadron at Guayra has been dispersed, thus with drawing the Implied threats against Vene zuela. Germany wishes to allow President Castro ample time to yield to the condi tions laid down in January last, which have been modified in accordance with President Castro's request. Andrew D. White. United States Am bassador to Germany, has not yet re signed, and Is quite undecided as to whether he will do so at some future time or serve out his term. His health, though not robust. Is better than It ha, been for several years; he never misses his office hours, and has been uncommon ly active In a s-oclal way. The Ambas sador Is now on the Riviera, simply on regular leave of absence. President Roose velt, after assuming the Chief Magistracy, asked Mr. White, as he did the other Am bassadors and other Ministers, If he would remain during his term, and Mr. White gave his general assurance that he would. This assurance, however. Is not regarded as a bar to the Ambassador's offering his resignation at any time. Mr. White. after his active life. Is rather weary of the Am bassadorship. RUSSIA WAXTS THIBET. Compensation for the Loss of the Mnnchurian Provinces. PEKIN. March L9. The Russians aro( not pressing the proposition to give the" Russo-Chinese Bank exclusive mining' and other rights In Manchuria, so the' powers are not likely to oppose the sign ing of the Manchurlan treaty, as now practically agreed upon between Paul Lesser, the Russian Minister here, and Prince Chlng, president of the Chinese Foreign Office. The signatures will prob ably be attached in a few days. M. Lesser hasibeen suggesting to Prince Chlng that Thibet should be granted In dependence. The Chinese believe that this portends a Russian attempt to acquire Thibet as compensation for compromis ing Russian Manchurlan ambitions. Certain German instructors, who wero formerly employed In the Chinese Army.' have requested their reinstatement, q:t the officials replied that China had agreed not to employ foreign Instructors, on ac count of the jealousies of the powers.' Nevertheless, more Japanese officers re cently Joined Yuan Shi Kal's army. They, are wearing Chinese clothing, and their efforts have already resulted In great Im provement In the equipment of tho forces. The latest reports from Ta Ming Fu say great loss of life occurred during the fight between Yuan Shi Kai's soldiers) and the populace. The Inhabitants of several villages, who were enlisted In the so-called United Villagers' Society, re sisted the soldiers, but as most of tho villagers 'were armed only with spears I and swords, they suffered great sliughter.' Crokcr as a Dairyman. NEW YORK, March 20. Richard! Croker, who has gone Into tho dairy business on a large scale, called a meet-J ing of the farmers of the Wantage dis trict, and offered them London prices for all milk delivered at the Moat-House Creamery, says a dispatch to the World from Wantage, England. It was ex plained to the farmers that Mr. Croker "will require at least 2000 gallons of milk dally, beginning June 1. he having se cured the contract to supply milk, cream and butter to an American line of steam ers. Good Friday In England. NEW YORK, March 29. The sacred character of Good Friday Is becoming more widely recognized, says the London correspondent of the Tribune. Time was when nonconformist services on Good Fri day were almost unknown, and, indeed, in many parts of England it was a favorite day for meetings of a more or less festive character. All that, however. Is rapidly changing and several nonconformist churches were open, and in the Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches the day was kept as usual, with great solemnity,. Chamberlain Disappoints Jamaicans. KINGSTON. Jamaica. March 29. The Colonial Secretary, Joseph Chamberlain, replying to a memorial from the elected members of the Legislature, says that, with all good will toward the people of Jamaica and their representatives, he cannot consent to the new constitution until the existing conditions have been given a fair and adequate trial and by common consent have been found want ing. General disappointment is expressed over Chamberlain's reply. Golf on a Battlefield. BUZACO, Portugal, March 29. The his toric battlefield here, where the Duke of Wellington (September 27, 1S10) repulsed the French Army, commanded by Mar shal Massena, has been turned Into golf links for the benefit of visitors, irjia first match took place yesterday.
