Williamson in the Second. Portland, April 13. With a storm of ayes that resounded throughout the convention hall, John N. William son was unanimously nominated for re-election to Congress by the Second District Republican Convention this afternoon. His nomination was fol lowed by thunderous applause, in which the Moody delegates partici pated with a vim. Williamson was placed in nomination by N. C. Rich ards, of Snmpter, in an eloquent ad dress, in which he paid a high tribute to the personality of the Congress man. His speech was seconded by Judge J. C. Moreland, of Multnomah. A burst of applause followed when N. Whealdon, of Wasco, arose, and on behalf of that county Moody's stronghold moved that nominations be closed, and that the unanimous vote of the convention be cast for Williamson. As already stated, the motion carried unanknouslv. Russians Loose Battle-Ship. (Continued from page 1.) assumed command of the fleet." The following dispatch to the Czar has been received from Vicerov Ales- ieff: "Mnrkden, April 13. A telegram has just been received from Lieuten ant-General Stoessel, commander of the military forces at Port Arthur. I regret to report to your majesty that the Pacific fleet has suffered irrepar able loss by the death of its brave and capable commander, who was lost, together with the Petropavlovsk." Another dispatch from Viceroy Alexief to the Czar S3ys: "According to reports from the commandant at Port Arthur, the bat tleships and cruisers went out to meet the enemy, but owing to the enemy receiving reinforcements, mak ing his total strength 30 vessels, our squadron returned to the road-stead, whereupon the Petropavlovsk touched a mine, resulting in her destruction. Grand Duke Cyril, who was on board was saved. He was slightly injured The whole squadron then re-entered port. The Japanese are now off Cape Liao Shan. No reports had been re ceived from the acting commander of the fleet to the time this dispatch was sent" SIGNED BY PRESIDENT. Lewis and Clerk Exposition is now of National Concern. Washington, April 13. President Roosevelt this morning signed the Lewis and Clark Exposition bill in the presence of Senator Mitchell, thereby making it a law. The pen used in .signing will be presented to the Oregon Historical Society and will be on exhibition dur ing the fair. Steps will immediately be taken looking to the appointment of a Government board as a prelimi nary to preparation of plans for the Government buildings. Senator Mitchell, on the signing of the bill by the President, extended to him, on behalf of all concerned, sin cere thanks, and the the President expressed himself as greatly gratified that he had opportunity of signing a bill in the interest of the Portland Exposition. With great interest the President scanned the measure, although he re marked while doing so that he knew all about the contents. He then signed it making it a law of the United' States, thus adding to the great enterprise of the Oregon coun try's people the seal of the nation's approval and far reaching aid. Senator Mitchell was interviewed soon after it had been announced that the President had signed the import ant document. He said: "All the items of the bill are very satisfactory and the fact that we are benefited to the extent of between $190,000 and $200,000 by reason of the transfer of the government ex hibits from St. Louis, is gratifying, aa it will bring the total money bene fit to the exposition up to about $800,000. "But aside from this the very fact that by this legislation the national government becomes identified with the exposition, thus lifting it out of the class of the mere local exposi tions and making it national, will be of inestimable value in the success of the exposition and is equivalent of itself, in my judgment, to from $500, 000 to $1,000,000. "Take it altogether the exposition and all connected with it.and all who contributed to tho passago of the measure, it seems to me are entitled to hearty congratulations." BOOTH, POTTER, BROWN, VAWTON State Convention Nominates. Har mony Throughout. Special to the Plaixdealer: Portland, April 14. State con vention met here this morning and proceeded to business. B. L.

A report from the House committee on bank ing and currency recommending the passage of the bill, ''to improve cur rency conditions," was filed in the House today by Chairman Fowler. The first section of the bill repeals the law which prohibits customs re ceipts from being deposited in Na tional banks. The result of the pres ent law in this matter, the report says is unnecessarily to tie up money of the country. The report says that if states and municipalities should lock up the proceeds of local taxation as the National Government locks up its receipts, the effect would be disastrous, and yet there is as much reason for such a course in the one as in the other. The second section repeals the monthly $3,000,000 limit on bank note retirement. The report says the re peal of this restriction will give to the National Bank note circulation all of the elasticity with which it is possible for a bond-secured circula tion to have. The recoinage of silver dollars in to subsidiary silver coins is provided in the third section of the bill. The limit of 100,000,000 as the total amount of subsidiary silver coins that' can be in existence at any one time is repealed by this section. There is in the treasury 578,012,099 silver dollars. The Secretary says it is worth in bullion less than half of its face value in dollars. It is this mon ey that the bill proposes to recoin in to subsidiary silver as rapidly as the Secretary shall order. In this re coinage, there is estimated a profit to the Government of seven cents on each dollar. Relief of the Treasury Department in its inability to meet the demand for small bills, owing to the manner in which present law lim its their issuance, there is sought to be remedied by the removal of this limitation. Explosion on Missouri. Pensacola, Fla., April 13. Five officers and nine men were killed by an explosion in the turret of the bat tleship Missouri during target prac tice today. The Missouri is com manded by Captain Cowles, the Presi dent's brother-in-law. The dead are: Lieutenant David son, Ensign Wechert, Lieutenant Gridley, Midshipmen Ward and Neu mann and nine men. Gridley is the son of the captain who commanded the Olympia at the battle of Manila. Ward is a son of the -brigadier gen eral. Northern Securities Decision Re versed. St. Paul. April 13 The United States Circuit Court, after hearing all arguments on the motion of E. H. Harriman et al for leave to file an intervening petition in tho Northern Securities case reserved decision and adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. St. Paul, April 13 At the close of arguments in the Harriman-North- ern Securities case today an incident occurred which created a mild sensa tion. Mr. Guth rie, in closing for the SENATOR A. C. MARSTERS, of Roseburg, who had the honer of placing Mr. Hermann's name before the Congressional Convention an Sa lem yesterday. petitioner, intimated that tho Hill Morgan Combination had sccurtid some of the Northern Pacific or Great Northern holdings in an im proper manner, when Mr. Root re plied that neither Mr. Hill, Mr. Mor gan nor tho Northern Securities Com pany had acquired one sharo of Great Northern or Northern Pacific stock since the decree had been granted, as to have done so would have bciiii criminal contempt of court. Mr. Guthrie thereupon replied that if it had not been secured after the do cree had been granted, it had been secured on the ev of tho granting of the decree for the purpose of fur thering their present plan of distri bution. Mormons hiding Out. Washington, D. C, April 13 Six of the 12 Mormon witnesses for whom summons have been issued by the senate committee of privileges am elections for their appearance to tes tify in the Smoot case, have disap peared. All efforts to find them have been in wuii. Chairman Burrows sent word to President Smith today that it is very unfortunate for the church that these people have gone into hiding. Bishop Grant is one of these, and is known to be in Europe. Notwithstanding the absence of some witnesses, the investigation of the protests against the retention of his seat by Senator Reod Smoot of Utah was rvsumed today by the sen ate committee. It is expected that numerous wit nesses will be heard this week, intend ing several ;Hiciab of tho Mormon church and a number of anli-Mormoa citizens of Utah. These latter are expected to pro duce additional evidence that the first presidency and tho 12 apostles, in there exercise of supreme authori ty, are political dictators and control the political action jf the church. I "THE REASON why we talS quality so persistently isno one can af ford to hide his light under a bushel, In drugs the most IMPORTANT POINT is QUALITY and we want to thoroughly impress upon you that we give our GREATEST ATTENTION to that point. We earnestly solicit your patron age because we Know we can serve you in good faith. FHertQE Richardson Phone 451 Roseburg, Ore Witnesses also will be called to tes tify that Senator Smoot, as one of the apostles, encourages the practice of polygamy and polygamous cohabi tation by refraamg from entering any protest against such practices or to censure any one known to be guilty of it. Trains Tied Up. Ashland, Or., April 13. A big slide of earth and rocks 20 miles south of Ashland this morning about 9 o'clock will, it is estimated, delay traffic on the Southern Pacific from 12 to 18 hours. The warm weather has melted the snow in the moun tains and to this is due tho slide. A steam shovel and wrecking crew from this city are at work removing the obstruction. Passenger train No. 15, from Port land, will be held hero until the track is cleared, and No. 1G, from San Francisco, is being held on the other side of the Siskiyous. The streams are rising rapidly as a result of tho melting snow. Last night's north bound overland and this morning's local will arrive in Roseburg about midnight tonight. A stub local going north left here on time today. Governor Chamberlain says "let us forget dead issues," and another Democratic speaker shouts "what we want is to get back to ancient doc trine!" and yet there are men who pretend that they know what "de mocracy" stands for. No wonder Judge Parker makes no announce ment of his principles." What could the poor man say? Bryan might have possibly been elected if ho had kept his "announcements" to himself. Salem Statesman. Biz Insular Case. Washington, April 13. A case involving claims to the amount of over $7,000,000, iudireotfy ks argued today before tho Court of (Hanns. It was brought by Warner1, Barnes & Co., a British corporation closing busi ness in New York and Manila, to re cover $80,000 in duties paid on goods imported into tho Philippine- Islands between the signature of tho treaty of peaco with Spain and March 2, liOZ, when congress established a regular tariff in place, of military tariff. If the claim is maintained, a large number of similar claims must be paid, and in addition probably will validate claims for a refund of duties on goods imported in Spanish ships during the time specified, under, the terms of the Paris treaty. Lawyer's Big Fee. Helena, .Mont., April 13 There is to be no rehearing before the su preme court in the case of Forrester & MacUinniss against the Boston & Montana Consolidated Copper & Sil ver Mining company, involving a $50, 000 attorney's foes. This question was decided by the supreme court ye-ierday, when an order was made defying the motion. This is part of the noted case wherein Judge Clancy awarded T R Hinds $200,000 for five days' sen-ices as receiver for the Boston & "Mon tana company. The company con tested the fee of $50,000 for Hinds' lawyer, but the court has declined to reduce this, although that of the re wi'. orlias been materially cut down. Spanish Premier Stabbed. B uck:.oNA, A'iril 12. Premier i Maura was attacked and wounded to day by a would-be aisasiin, armed with kitchen knife, while entering the palace of the Council-General. ?enor Maura's wound is not seriqus. The Premier had just returned from attending a requiem service cel ebrated for the repose of the soul of the late Queen lobelia, ami was en tering the palace, when a youth 19 I years old, named Joaquin Miguel Ar- tao, approached, and shouting, "Good day, long live anarchy," struck the premier in the chest with a knife he iLad -.oJealcd in his handkerchif. Ariao was immediately seized and imprisoned. The Premier was able himself to send to Madrid tho news of the attempt on his life. Iite tonight a semi-official report of the attack on the Premier was is sued, arcordidg to which the assail ant held concealed a kitchen knife with which he stabbed the Premier; I but the force of the blow was broken, jaml its directum diverted by tho ! heavy lace on the Minister's coat, rcr ' suiting in on'v a alight scratch under the sixth rib. A doctor attached to King Alphonso's suite examined the Premier and prescribed a few hours' rest. His Majesty sent a messenger to inquire concerning the attack and as to the Prime Minister's condition. Joaquin Miguel Artao, the assailant was employed as a domestic. Ho is. an anarchist, and when arrested at- 1-. .!l tempted suicide by dashing his head against the wall. According to another account, the Premier cooly drew the knife from his clothing and threw it on a seat in his carriage, after which ho entered the pahce, walked upstairs and tele phoned to Minister of the Interior Guerra at Madrid, saying: "I have been stabbed. Don't be alarmed. Tho wound is not serious.' King Alforiso's program has not been changed and ho will continue his tour today, but will not bo accom panied by Premier Maura, who will remain here in pursuance of his doc tor's advice, notwithstanding the fact that his condition is perfectly satis factory and that he is anxious to ac company His Majesty. Several tvorkingmen have been ar rested for publicly expressing their approval of Artoa's attempt on tho life of tho Premier during tho demon strations of tho milcontents last night.

It is a curious fact that ho frequently some good American arises with a Hat assertion that we have no national an tin in, or, at any rate, that we aro not quite sure whether it ia "Hail, Colunv bin," "My Country, 'Tin of Thus," "laiikce Doodle," or "The Star Span gled Banner." Tho truth i'h that union? thorn) who know thero ia no doubt what ever. Tho source of doubt is to be found in tho fact that the people of these United States havo never snontn- neoiiHly nnd of one accord chosen no an- thorn, us the hnglieh did in 1715. But there has never been any question that the sentiment surrounding the Hag hie influenced tho great majority to prefer "The Star Spangled Banner" an t c national hymn. It has lieen made ho officially by ti . Uftage of tho federal government. It i not at all strange that bo few peopl know this, for only a ftmall iwrrcntii . of the population ia familiar with i customs of army posts or naval vhmm The ceremony of evening colors at a, military ixwta having bauds include tho playing of the national anthem T it Star Spangled Banner," when the Jli, is lowered for tho night. On all nam vessels carrying bands the same cust hi is observed, and it should bo noted a having esecial official meaning that foreign ports "The Star Spangled Ban ner" is thus proclaimed by our ships as our nation hymn. "Hail, Columbia" is one of our pati otic Hongs, but it haa no ollicia, stand ing. No naval or military officer ever rh-ea in a theater or takes off his h I our of doors when it ia played. He d-s -o in the case of "The Star Spangle.! Banner." "My Country Tie of Thee" haa no claims at all. It ia nothimr more or less than the national anthem of England, with American words set to it. The tune was composed bv Henrv Carey, and first sung by hitn in 173"J. It rapidly gained popularity became of the incursion of the pretender in 1745, when "God Save the King" began to be "ung in the theaters. The theme wah taken from an antique melody by JLr. John Bull, whence, aa some think, came the appellation of "John Bull" to pa triotic E gland. Germany haa ah-o adopted this tuue. uing it for her "Heii lir im iecerkranz " Neither she not ire have any business with it; it be longs to England. "Yankee Doodle" haa never been called our national anthem by any but certain English people who are partica iarly fond of foisting it upon us as onr hymn because it ia a vulgar, nndignifleO" and worthless tune, utterly unfit to ex press the patriotism of a puistant peo ple. Thisaminable coterie of Britisi. newspatvr which do-s ita bet to foster the Anglo-American understanding by flinging giU-s at us on all occasion? iu- aista that "Yankee Doodle" ia our na tional anthem. It ia not fco now, and never ha l?cn New York Sun. All prosresaive farmers and agricultu rists, generally, will be vitally interested in the parage ot the Brownlow Good Roads hill, now landing before Con gress. Thia bill propose- the appropri ation of f .M.GOO.UK) as a national aid foi the building of wagon roads, thia sum oi money to be distributed among th States in proportion to their population, and no Mate to receive lea than $250, 000. Thes-e funds are to be bestowed uj on the States or counties, upon condi tion that an equal sum Us added from municipal treasuries. It i stated in the text of the bill that, while this conntry htt the finest railways in world,' and more miles of them than all the rest of the world put together, our wagon roads are poorer than tho?e of any other civ ilized country. It is not yet propo--d to build the Appian Way of America, but to some of the many advantages o! community lifenow forbidden by th- condition of the highways witnin reach of the dwellers in rural districts.
