HOTEL PORTLAND
The Finest Hotel In the Northwest
v PORTLAND. OREGON.
Some days ago a St. Louis dispatch
was received which conveyed the in
formation that prominent populists and
democrats bad conferred with the Idea
In view of supporting the populist
ticket this fall. The following article
from the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
casts further light on the subject, and
gives an Idea of what the populists ex
pect to do to the democrats:
We are sure of carrying the states
of Alabama and Georgia now," de
clared Joe Parker, ex-chairman of the
Jefferson hotel Sunday. Mr. Parker
has just reached St. Louis from the
party, which was held at Springfield
last week. Continuing, he said: "Not
only will we carry those two states,
but we may carry Nebraska, and If
we do not get a big vote in Missouri
I will be greatly surprised.
"The democrats could not have gone
back on their promises to the people
more completely than they did In this
Convention. Wall street forced the
party into Its pocket. Democrats have
been teaching the principles they have
repudiated for eight years. They have
educated the farmers to the theory of
free silver until It Is grafted Into them
good and strong. Now the leaders
turn about on their proposition and
stand for what they have been fight
ing. Do they think for a minute that
these thousands of followers of Bryan
are going to submit tamely to such
dictation? I think not. You can't
change the principles In a single day
any more than you can raise the sun
fat midnight.
"Our candidate for president, Thom
as Watson, will carry Alabama and
Georgia and, I believe, Nebraska. We
will cast between 2,000.000 and 3,000,
000 votes at the coming election."
"How about Missouri?" was asked.
"Missouri will gave Watson at least
40,000 votes, and, to my mind, Roose
velt will stand an excellent show of
carrying the state.
The populists are in better shape
today than they have been for eight
years. We are beginning to find out
the insincerity of the democrats. They
are beginning to come out In the light
of their true character. The populists
have this year adopted a platform that
will appeal to every laboring man in
the United States. We declare for the
cardinal principles that the democrats
have contended for these many years.
We believe In organizing labor, and we
are pledged to support union principles.1
We expect to secure a great vote in
the cities."
To further show the extent of the
feeling, Mr. Parker claims that Clar
ence Darrow, the Hearst man from
Chicago, who addressed the democratic
national convention on Thursday in
the interest of his candidate, has open
ly announced that he. can not support
Parker and that he will vote for Wat
son. Darrow was a law partner of
the late John P. Altgeld of Chicago.
Mr. Parker held several conferences
with a number of delegates from Ne
braaka and other western states, and
if they did not absolutely promise to
support the populist candidate for
president, they declared they would
never vote for Parker, All the popu
lists in the city, and there are sev
eral who came along with Mr. Parker,
are equally as well satisfied with the
outlook for their candidate.
hla company will act Independently
and fight for a shar of the trans
pacific traffic of this port if the pres
ent tripartite combination la not con
tinued, Owing to the war In the Orient, the
Japanese company has some of Its
steamers running into this port at pres
ent. The two Harrlman companies,
the Paclflo Mall and Occidental and
Oriental, are handling all the business
with the Gaelic, Doric and Coptlo of
the latter company and the China, Si
beria, Korea and Mongolia of the Pa
clflo Mall.
A new Paclflo Mall steamer, the
Manchuria, will soon join the fleet,
and with these eight ships the Harrl
man people think they can properly
attend to all .the business and that
they should enjoy It to the exclusion
of the foreign line.
A sane is to have three new steamers
built In England for his San Fran
cisco line. This will give him a mod
ern fleet and enable htm to keep up
his end with Harrlman it the latter
finally decides to continue the com
bine. In case Aaano la obliged to act
Independently, he will have to use four
vessels In and out of this port. While
tbe war lasta It is admitted that the
Asano company can do no business.4!
What Harrlman will tell Asano when
the war la over Is an Interesting spec
ulation In steamship circles.

The following from the Examiner
may throw some light on tbe dispatch
appearing in yesterday's Astorian re
lative to the new O. R. & N. steam
ship merger;
It is probable that E. H. Rarrlman
will attempt to squeeze the Toyo Klsen
Kaisha, or Japanese Steamship Com
pany, out of the combine it has enjoyed
with the Pacific Mail and Occidental
and Oriental Companies in the hand
ling of the trans-Pacific business 'of
this port during -the past eight or ten
years.
President Asano of the Japanese
company, who is 40 times a millionaire,
thinks that is the Harrlman program.j
and it is known the latter ha been
informed from Toklo by Ansano that'
New York, July It Three soldiers
Imprisoned on Governor's Island for
desertion have tried to escape In a
rowboat. One of them, Private Alfred
Bostwlck, was shot by a sentry. The
bullet passed through Bostwtck's jaw
and he will probably die. His two
companions, when they saw that Bost
wlck was wounded, promptly stopped
rowing. They were overhauled, taken
back to the Island and put In the
guardhouse.
Bostwick's companions were Wil
liam Rhelner and a man named Cox.
They hud been model prisoners and
Bostwlck was to have been released
August 1. Rhelner would have been
freed two months later, but neither
was aware of the shortening of their
terms. '
The prisoners were at work on an
extension of the Island defenses, be
ing made by filling in. No particular
attention was paid to them and they
seized the opportunity to escape by
wading Into the bay and seizing a row
boat. One seized the oars and headed
for Brooklyn.
A sentinel ran along the sea wall
and called upon them to come back but
no attention was paid to him and he
fired five shots. Bostwlck, who lay
prone In the boat, was hit In the
cheek. The bullet passed through bis
neck and severed an artery. An army
bout by that time had overhauled the
rowers and towed them back to the
Island. Bostwick's companions were
not wounded.

People have no idea how
crude and cruel soap can be.
, It takes off dirt. So far,
so good, but what the does
it .do.
It cats the skin and frets
the tinder-skin; makes red
ness and roughness and
leads to worse. Not soap,
but the alkali in it.
Pears' Soap, lias no free, al
kali In it. It neither reddens
nor roughens the skin. . It re
sponds to water instantly; wash-es-and
rinses off in a twinkling; is
as gentle as strong; nd the
after-effect is every way good.
